Yashamaru sighed. "I miss the meadow." Gaara nodded in agreement. They sat upon a hill that was named 'Aikokoro' Memorial. Gaara stared into the sunset. He blushed as his uncle leaned against his shoulder. "But this place isn't so bad." Yashamaru said with a smile. Temari ran over. "Hey Aunt Yashamaru-san! You should see what Kankuro did!" Kankuro then came zooming over. "I didn't do it! It was Temari!" Kankuro said panting. Yashamaru stood up and walked off to see what the two had done. Gaara continued to stare into the sunset. "Yashamaru…" Gaara had…grown attached to his uncle. But how attached? If he was too attached would that effect the way Gaara lived? He knew he loved his uncle but could there be a possibility he was in love with his uncle? Gaara didn't want to think about it, because it brought pain because he knew that if he was in love with his uncle he could never actually be with his uncle. That…tortured him inside. A while after dealing with Gaara's siblings Yashamaru returned to the same position he was in before, leaning against Gaara.
"It reminds me of your mother…the sunset." Yashamaru said getting off of Gaara. "She had a bright smile as bright as the sun and she could always make people smile back. That's something I could never do." Gaara looked at Yashamaru and said, "You made me smile…" Yashamaru chuckled. "Sometimes. But she always made people smile, I only do it every once in a while ya know?" Gaara turned to his uncle. "Lord Gaara…were you ever able to make anyone smile?" Gaara shook his head. "No." Gaara frowned more often than other people did. After Gaara hit the age nine he frowned constantly and never really cracked a smile. "Aha! That is where you are wrong!" "!" "You made me smile many times!" Yashamaru smiled. "Like right now!" Gaara knew at that moment he was in love with his uncle.
That night…
"Whoo hoo!" Yashamaru yelled, intoxicated. "Yeah! Hey kids! Guess what! While I was at the bar I met these hot girls and me and some drinking buddies are goin' on dates tomorrow night! Whoo yah! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Yashamaru giggled and took a sip of sake. "I never knew drinking could be so much fun! Hee, hee!" Yashamaru giggled again. "I can't wait for tomorrow night! Those babes were hot!" Temari sighed and walked to her room. Kankuro growled, "That's why you were gone for four whole hours! WE were cramped up in this house thinking you were out grocery shopping or something!" Yashamaru giggled and then hicced. "Shut up! I am an adult! I can do what I want so shut up! Hee, hee! You got told!" Yashamaru sat at the table and laid his head against the hard surface. "Oh man. I am going to have one hell of a hang over!" When Yashamaru was drunk his voice sounded higher pitched like a woman's. "Kankuro!" Yashamaru shouted. "Even though you're under age you should f--- a girl soon! Hee, hee!" Kankuro walked off pondering about what his uncle had said. Gaara sighed at walked to his room.
The next day…
"Ooooooh! My head! Aaaaaah!" Yashamaru laid cheek on the table with an ice pack on his head. "I feel horrible." Yashamaru sighed. Gaara sat next to his uncle. "You should." Gaara said pressing the ice pack down. Yashamaru moaned, "Ahhhhh…that feels guuuuud!" Gaara blushed. Yashamaru pressed his cheek against the table and sighed. "Ah! Next time I'll drink more responsibly, sorry about this Lord Gaara." Gaara didn't reply. Temari walked over. "Yoshi? Aunt Yashamaru-san…what about your dates? You know drinking buddies?" Yashamaru sighed and frowned. "Yeah I gotta go or they'll come looking for me…While I'm gone I think I'll get some fruit…but that means you'll have to keep a strong eye out for Gaara, he's been losing control more, lately." Gaara knew Yashamaru was right. He also knew WHY he was losing control. His emotions. He couldn't control the way he felt for his uncle and that made him angry. Lately he has also been becoming more protective of his sister and his brother and definitely Yashamaru. The attacks have also grown more recent. AND Yashamaru was getting sick. An illness was spreading around and after a short time Gaara suspected that Yashamaru had caught it and that's around the time when he started being more protective.
That night…
"Um…?" Yashamaru said, all eight of them looking down feeling awkward and blushing, they had decided to go get something to eat at some restaurant. It was a date right? Then how come everyone was quiet? "So…?" One man said. One girl spoke up and said, "Everything was much better drunk wasn't it!" "Yea!" All eight, four men (including Yashamaru), four women, ran to the bar. "Whooo! So I was like Kankuro you should f--- a girl some time!" The other seven laughed. "You should have seen the look on his face, hee, hee!" "Speaking of getting f---, one of ya'll should come back with me to my place! Ha, ha!" The other seven chuckled. Yashamaru hicced then giggled. One of the girls sitting next to Yashamaru leaned against him. "OH! You are so funny! (Hic!) Let's do it some time! How about tonight! My place!" Yashamaru smirked. "Sure babe!" After that they actually did it at her place. There was no passion in it just a lot of running to the bathroom to throw up and moaning…and touching…ew.
The next day…
"It's the damn morning! Where the hell is he!" Gaara yelled waiting by the door. A couple of seconds later his uncle busted in. "I'm back! Ow! My head!" He wobbled around for a bit then started falling to the ground with a sickly blush spreading across his face; Gaara caught his uncle and carried him to his room. He laid Yashamaru down in his bed. "Ice pack?" Gaara asked. Yashamaru nodded. "Thank you lord Gaara you're so kind." Gaara blushed. Argh! I can't stop doing that! He thought. He stood up and went of in search of an ice pack. "Ah," Yashamaru said his eyes slowly closing. "Such…a nice…boy…" Yashamaru closed his eyes. Gaara came back into the room. "Here-oh, he's asleep." Gaara laid the ice pack down on his uncle's head. He stared at his uncle. "Yashamaru…" Gaara's face turned red as he crawled into bed with his uncle. The sun shined on the both of them. Gaara wrapped his arms around his uncle. Warm… Gaara thought. Sand curled around the both of them. There to be no surprise attacks by his father while his uncle was sleeping. Gaara closed his eyes and snuggled with his uncle. "I love you…"
