I love you...?

By Dersert Rose

Sun Rise. It's been three years since Kurura's death. Suna had moved on. Miliatry matters need to be settled and their 'experiment' was doing fine.

A pair of violet eyes scanned the room. They stopped on the red haired little boy playing with his teddy in the coner. there was a sigh of releif.

"Gaara-Sama." The little boy turned towards the masucline voice that ecchoed through the room. A blonde man walked up to the boy and picked him up.

"Wasamawu?" The child tried to speak the name clearly. The man giggled.

"It's Ya-Sha-Ma-Ru..Gaara.." Yashamaru smiled. Gaara had grown well. He was healthy and strong, but he had trouble speaking long words. "Where have you been, little one?"

Gaara pointed at his teddy. "I pay wit tedeh-kuun."

"But you scared me, Gaara-Sama." Yashamaru's eyes were filled with true concern.

Gaara lookedd confused. "Why? I pay wit teddeh-kuun!" He giggled. His uncle smiled.

Yashaamru couldn't help, but think of Kurura, his sister. The funeral three years ago, with Gaara, the wretched child who killed her. Had he passed that? Did he truly care and love the child now? Could he possibly?

"Becuase..I was worried, Gaara-Kun."

"W-worwied? Whaat's worwied, Washamaru?" Gaara looked confused.

Yashamaru laughed. "It's a feeling you get when...hmm...It's hard to describe..But, Gaara, it's one of those feelings that come when you belive your loved ones are in trouble. Linked to Love."

The boy's eyes widened. "L-love?"

"Yes..Love..And I have so much love for you, Gaara-Sama..."

'Kurura's beloved child...I love you...?'
