My mom walked over and smoothed my hair and put an arm around me. "Kankuro told me everything. Sweetie why?"
I began to start crying then she hugged me. "Daddy doesn't care"
"What?! Of course he does! He loves you!"
"B-but he's been so"
"I know he's been busy lately but that's only because daddy is the Kazekage, and Gaara just needs a little more help getting on the right foot. And why didn't you say anything about the bullies?"
I tried to calm down then took a deep breath and said, "Because, I didn't think you would do anything. Uncle Yashimaru said your sick and"
"Mommy maybe sick but I still have time for you."
We both hugged and with that we went home.
The minute we walked through the door, father picked me up and carried me to the couch. I thought he was gonna scream and hit me. But instead he hugged me and kissed my forehead. "You know I love you right?" I looked up surprised. He hasn't said those words in a long time. "And you do know whoever hurts my little girl, well we'll have a problem right?"
"Daddy, I'm sorry..." He hugged me, "I forgive you, but your still getting grounded for doing that." Normally the punishment would be a spanking and a timeout and a hug and kiss, now its grounded? Maybe mommy talked to him...then everybody left the room and went about their business, I was free to go, I went by Gaara. "Hi Gaara."
"Mommy sick." He said in a sad voice. I hugged him. "I know Gaara but don't worry uncle is taking care of her. Then Gaara began coughing up blood. "Gaara!" Then father ran over. It all happened so fast, I barely remember it. But the next day, mother was dead.
