lostmoonchild: Okay, for some stupid reason I'm stuck in writing family fanfics for while so I figure, don't fight it cause you'll only get your butt kicked (or a severe brain trauma due to too many fanfics building up in there). Anyway, I don't own Naruto, only this little fanfic which was done during choir.
My Boys
Out of three children, I'm the oldest. The only girl out of three pregnancies. I care for my younger brothers because we have no one left. Our parents are dead, our remaining family is gone as well.
We live together, my brothers and I. Kankuro reads those stupid magazines which drive me insane while Gaara… well, I'm not sure what exactly he does. He keeps to himself and we don't pry.
The three of us are a team. Everybody was afraid to have Gaara on their team so Kankuro and myself had him with us. We watch over him although we know he can take care of himself. He tolerates it, tolerates us.
Each morning and evening I make sure there's food on the table. Enough to at least feed two hungry teenage boys. Sometimes I worry when we don't have food and its too late to go to the market to buy food. There are days we don't have much money which makes me wonder how we even manage to scrape up enough to pay bills. Other days are good. Not many worries or anything much happening that requires a second thought.
Raising my brothers, I've come to realize the problems that come with taking care of teenage boys. Their hormones are wild and out of control. Food barely lasts even a week, mainly because of Kankuro. You have to worry about where they are if they go out oat night. It's sort of being like a parent to a couple of children that's only a few years from you in age.
During missions, I worry my brothers are going to get killed. I can't help it, we lost so many in our family that I don't want to lose my brothers. There are days I think they don't want to lose me.
Someone from another village asked me what it felt like to have my brothers as teammates. All I did was shrug and walked away. Were we honestly that much different from other teams? Teams fight sometimes, just as my brothers and I did at times but we mostly got along.
Gaara asked once why we stayed. I wanted to tell him that we were trapped because of some unknown reason but told him that we care.
Honestly, I love my brothers. I can't imagine life without them. A friend of mine asked why I took care of them even though the challenges and responsibility is overwhelming. "Because," I said, "they're my boys."
lostmoonchild: Okay, that's done. Like I said, I'm trapped in family fanfics for a while and I'm not even going to bother fighting against it. For my chapter stories I'll try to get them posted ASAP but I can't right now since I'm on a school's computer and some of my stories are a big no-no for school computers and I don't want to risk fanfiction getting blocked. Anyway, read and review flames are accepted.
