Disclaimer: Miniko: Wow this had to be the longest you haven't posted yet!

Gaara: Wow that's sad…

Miniko: It really is…

Gummibearninja: I'm sorry I had exams. Apparently school and education comes before writing, anime and video games….

Gaara: You serious!

Miniko: How is that possible!

Gummibearninja: *Looks dramatically off to the distance* I…don't know *Turns back to audience* oh and I don't own Naruto *Continues looking off to the distance*

Chapter 12

Auron yanked Miniko into the house, still yelling at her. Chahiro and Yuri came into the room to see what the commotion was when she heard the yelling. They saw Miniko tears streaming down her face and Auron yelling at her.

"You deliberately disobeyed me! I'm very disappointed in you!" Auron lectured. "So all that time you were lying to us an-"

Chahiro stepped in at that moment. "Auron, enough!"

"Chahiro! Are you aware of who Miniko has been seeing."

"I am and I see nothing wrong with it! Miniko is only a child! She should have a lot of friends! I don't like seeing her alone!"

"Why aren't you against this! That kid is a monster!" Yelled Auron.

The word monster put Miniko in rage. She glared up at her father. "Shut up!" Miniko shouted

Auron looked at Miniko speechless as well did Yuri and her mother. Auron quickly snapped out of his shock and frowned at Miniko. "How dare you speak to me-"

Miniko interrupted "Gaara is not a monster! His name is Gaara and he's my friend!"

" You think I'm going to allow you be friends with a monster like him then-"

"HE'S NOT THE MONSTER YOU ARE!" Miniko blurted out.

Auron grew furious and frustrated and raised his hand, as if to hit her.

"Auron!" Chahiro shouted

Auron turned to his wife and he put down his hand. Then turning back to Miniko and straight into her eyes. "I forbid you to talk to him and I am keeping an eye on you do Go near him and make you regret it."

Miniko eyes went wide, as she sobbed. "N…No…"

Chahiro tried to talk to him. "Auron that's too harsh!"

Auron ignored her and turned to the door. "This discussion is over…"

Miniko ran to her room sobbing. Yuri watched her run up the stairs. He felt a knot in his stomach. What have I done?

XXXXXX

It was late evening and Yuri stood at the door that leads to Miniko's room. He sighed before he knocked on the door.

"Miniko it's me can I come in?" Yuri asked.

When Miniko gave him permission he came in and closed Miniko came running wrapping her arms around her bother.

"Yuri I'm so confused!" Miniko cried. "I just can't figure out how father found out! He must have saw us we'll we were walking….that's the only logic answer I can think of though." Miniko released her brother and looked up at him. "I tried reaching him telepathically but father found out about that somehow too and is now checking on me every couple minutes. Yuri I need your help! I don't want to be apart from Gaara. He's my only friend."

Yuri looked down at Miniko. Her pleads for help just made him feel worse. "I'll do what I can to help…. It's the least I can do after all."

"What are you talking about? What do mean by the least you can do?"

Yuri sighed and looked down at Miniko. "I did something awful."

Yuri explained how he told their father about Gaara and her. Miniko listened and was speechless when her brother finished.

"Why did you do it?" Miniko asked a short time later.

"I saw you Gaara hurt you in the training area and thought he was attacking you on purpose."

Miniko looked at her tears streaming down her face. "Why would you even think that." Miniko turned away from her brother. "Please leave…" She said

Miniko… Yuri then left the room, not saying a word.
