Why I should have killed you

Manato's confession

Thinking about it would not do me good so the only thing I could do was dream. I dreamed about our past together and how it could have been different. I dreamed that his father had understood and had given us a chance. Modern times are more lenient and I had no doubt that we would have been accepted as a couple.

A week went by without a visit from Naruto though I could hear him conversing with his visitors. Their words were mumbled and sometimes there was yelling. Come to think of it, the yelling got more intense as the week progressed but I couldn't make out what they were saying.

The next week, I got a visit from someone who I never thought I would. It was Naruto's dad.

At first I couldn't figure out who the stranger in the coat standing outside my room was since the light from the ceiling cast a shadow over his face. When he took another step forward and the glaring light illuminated his blonde hair gently streaked with gray, I knew this day was a nightmare waiting to unfold. He slowly walked toward my bed and I quickly dismissed the thought of attacking, screaming or sobbing in front of him. I neutralized my face and glared into his eyes with a stone cold face.

"Hello Gaara."

"What do you want?" I asked with a bite in my voice.

"Your forgiveness," he said as I sucked in a breath. I couldn't comprehend what he was saying even though I heard him just fine. So, I decided to do the only thing that will prevent me from strangling him.

I laughed.

I laughed so hard Naruto who I suppose was in the other room came into my room with his visitors in tow. The pink haired chick was with them and her eyes were bloodshot. I wondered why.

"What's going on dad?" Naruto asked with a surprisingly cold voice.

"I just wanted to talk to Gaara and I do not need your input."

"I think he does, dad, since it concerns him," I said with a creepy smile on my face. Just then Temari, Ino, Tenten and Sasori came in with their own creepy smiles.

God, was it creepy smile day or what.

"Great, we have an audience, just like last time I spoke with you. Please do continue," I said like a deranged manic.

He appeared to be in pain as he looked at me pleadingly. I undauntedly looked him in the eye and dared him to kick the people out. After a minute of quiet eye fight, he removed his gaze and stared out the window.

"I guess I better begin in the beginning since sooner or later, it'll all be out. Please do not interrupt me as I tell this story since it is a painful experience," he said as his eyes misted.

"He was not supposed to be there that night but he was and that was where the whole drama began. His name was Madara and we did not get along well. He was young, irrational and completely egotist. I couldn't help it. I hated him on the spot. We never got along since all he wanted was power and I fell hopelessly and utterly in love with him."

There was a shocked gasp from everyone except for Sasori who gravely nodded in my direction. I guess he did his little homework and blackmailing. I sent him a silent thanks and felt a twinge of guilt at loving Naruto instead of him.

"I couldn't resist him if I had wanted to and he played on that," Manato continued. "He said he loved me and for a time, I thought that he did. I would jeopardize my missions just to get a glimpse of him or have a little private moment. Back then, those kinds of things weren't allowed and it was a dark fear I carried that it would be out soon. That did not stop me. He seemed to live for danger and it wasn't long before I got caught up with the same passion for danger. I gave him whatever he wanted and some of that included top-secret government information which was a mistake. I did not know he was just using me to get revenge but when I did know, I was not only heartbroken, I was pissed. I felt like my heart has been clawed to shreds. I seeked him out to confront him but when I reached his house, all that was left was a letter saying: You're really as stupid as you look. I did not think I could feel any worse but it was as if someone just poured lemon juice on my already shredded heart. It was then that I realized that he was going to use all the information I had been feeding him to take over the government. To cut the story short, I managed to stop him but not without injuries both physically and emotionally."

"So you and Madara were fuck buddies?" I just had to ask.

At first he looked at me like he couldn't make out what to say then he started laughing and soon enough, we were all laughing except for Sakura who was the pink haired bitch. She was glaring at me with a none too happy expression. Damn, something was up with her.

"Which brings me to the apology I owe to you Gaara, Manato continued. "I acted with hardness because I did not want my son getting hurt and I wanted what was best for him. I wanted him to be happy and the pressure both of you would have gotten for being in love made me do what I did and told you all those terrible lies. I apologize again because over the years, I have come to figure out that my son really did love you and since I want the best, I guess I just have to give you my blessings."

"Wait, you actually mean…that you'd…we could…" I couldn't form a coherent thought so I just shut up. I looked at Naruto who was looking at me with fire in his eyes and I couldn't help but feel a little tingle somewhere down there.

"Also," Manato said. "Sakura, I'm sorry but you can't marry my son. There is going to be a wedding and it would be nice if you did come. Once again, I'm sorry."

"I understand," Sakura said as tears even filled her eyes. I guess she thought it was romantic or some shit. But, I knew she had something up her sleeve.

"I think it's time we give these two a break to sort things out. Everyone out," Sasori said with a wink at me. Everyone shuffled out and once again, I was left with Naruto.

A/N: Hey guys, I hope you love the story and try to guess what Sakura would do. Hehe, bet you'd never guess right. REVIEW!!!
