I don't own anything.
"Why the hell would y'all do something like that?!" Sakura yelled at us once we got home. Her home, actually. She had to bail us out of jail after Officer Jones practically threw us in there. Well, threw Naruto and me; Gaara just walked in by himself.
"I can actually see Naruto and Gaara doing something like this, but you, Sasuke," Ino said, shaking her head. "I thought you were better than this." If there was one thing I hated about Sakura and her friends was that they criticized a lot, especially when it comes to me.
"P-Please don't be too hard on them. It wasn't all their fault."
"Yeah! That guy had it coming to him!"
"Don't encourage them, Hinata. And no, Naruto. Officer Jones is just doing his job. Try to see things in his point of view and you'll understand."
Naruto was about to argue until Gaara spoke up. "I heard that he made another man blind in his teenage years." Where he heard that we'll never know, but it was an interesting fact nonetheless. The girls, minus Hinata, just blinked at him.
"Where in the hell did you hear that?"
"My dad told me."
"...Suna or Nazaki?"
"Suna."
"Never thought you'd listened to him."
It was no secret to anyone that Gaara's biological father had an affair had an affair with a younger woman, Gaara being the result of it all. It was also no secret that Gaara hated the man. In fact, it's actually rare when he calls him his dad or his father. Of course, the feeling is mutual with Mr. Suna since Gaara's birth ruined his marriage. Gaara's mother is now married to Mr. Nazaki and has a baby girl. We rarely see the little one because Gaara is so protective over her.
Out of curiosity, I asked, "Where did he heard this from?"
"He grew up with the guy."
I raised an eyebrow at that. From what I know, Mr. Suna was born and raised in Hong Kong. Then again, he could have came over to the states in his teenage years.
"And why did he tell you this?" Sakura asked, raising an eyebrow. Gaara shrugged. "He was drunk when he told me," he said. Well, that explained everything. We all gave out a sigh before deciding that we'll forget the whole "incident." Though, Sakura did give us a warning that if we pulled that stunt again, she won't be bailing us out, and that Hinata's not allowed to bail us either.
If there's one thing I absolutely hate about my father was that he was strict as hell. It turned out that Officer Asshole told our parents about his car. By 'our' I mean mine and Naruto's. Gaara's parents pretty much do nothing to punish him. Though, Naruto does tell me that his [Gaara] mother takes away his porn when he's bad. Another thing that tells me how weird Gaara is.
Back to the point.
After being lectured by our father, Naruto and I were sent to our rooms. Mom was unusually quiet. I guess she was very disappointed in us. Ever since Naruto entered the family I stopped caring about what my father thought of me and of what he wanted of me. But my mother was a different story. She was the kindest person you would ever meet. So it hurt me a little inside seeing the disappointment in her eyes and not talking to us.
"She'll get over it," Itachi assured me as I walked past him towards my room. "She always does." And I blame our father for that.
I couldn't sleep. Maybe I couldn't because of the guilt I felt for Mom. But that was just part of the reason why. Every time I closed my eyes I would see a boy around my age being held to the ground as he was sprayed in the eyes by a bottle of paint. Why spray-paint, I don't know. Sakura's been giving me too many books to read lately.
I couldn't understand why I felt guilt for the unknown boy. Probably because he never seek the justice he deserved? Jones is a cop now, so that may be the reason why. The kid is probably an old man right now, struggling. Or is living among family. I opened my eyes and blinked.
Why was I thinking so hard on this? I've never met the guy before and probably never will. I mean, he probably doesn't live here anymore, just so he could be away from his tormentor. I know I would.
So why do I feel so upset?
Negative comments are going to be ignored. Because of a mishap with my laptop, I don't have Microsoft. Instead I'm using word pad and it doesn't have grammar or spell check, so there might be some mistakes.
