Chapter one
A mother's love
I am not long for this world, my heart struggles to beat and my breath grows shallow. My hour glass is running empty only a few grains remain now, I do not know how much longer I can hold.
But you are so small; How can I leave you?
The life ahead of you will not be easy, I know this to be true. For I have seen how they treat those who have been chosen. But I believe in my heart that you are strong my precious little one, because from the moment I felt you I knew you would be strong.
I will be honest with myself just this one on my death bed with out my image to withhold I do not want this life for you. Any one else I would wish it upon them but not you my son, I can be selfish when it comes to you I can be anything if it means you are safe.
"Give me a moment alone with my son… please" I have never heard my voice this way never so weak and fragile. They move to protest but Lady Chiyo ushers them from the room I believe she understands I want just a moment alone with my son before the end.
I look at the small bundle on the pillow besides me "I love you Gaara" I whisper as I run the back of my hand over his cheek , he so pale and small.
How can I leave him alone?
Do I have to?
There must be away… you just have to know where to look.
If I demon can be sealed inside of my poor baby boy than my soul to can be sealed away.
But to what? How?
I think I know it comes to me as my vision grows dark on the edges and I sway as I force my body to sit upright. I take one last look at you before letting my feet dangle from the bed by back to the door… my back to you.
My hand form the seals even as they shake my movements are strong because this is for you my beloved son. I'm almost done now just a little more the door behind me busts open I can hear them rushing to my side I was caught up I didn't hear the monitor beeping to signal my end but it was to late for them they can not stop me now.
My brother comes into my line of sighy and I give a weak smile "Secret Art: Sealing of Life" with those words the monitor flattened everything around rushes and sand floods the room and its dark for awhile but it doesn't say that way long because I was there next to you and you are so small. And I think how will you defend yourself but you won't have to now..
Because Mother is here.
