Chapter 21: More Pain

Temari couldn't sleep in a bed. It just made her remember everything she worked hard to forget and suppress. It made everything worst. She grabbed a blanket and and slept in the bathtub which she hadn't done in nearly two years, but the nightmares still came. She screamed, with every memory of Kyo. After awhile she just didn't go back to sleep and just watched Miki as she did. She was glad that Miki never had to know the pain, the fear, of being forced to be someone's plaything. To be able to sleep without the constant reminder of the man who took your child hood away. She realized she was a bit envious of her daughter but it was nothing serious.

She heard a knock at the door. She slowly walk towards it and opened it. It was the Hinata woman, She looked like she had just gone through hell. She looked at Temari very confused.

"I heard screaming." Hinata said. Temari looked down at the ground. "Seeing that you seem wide awake, I take it, it came from you." Temari shook her head.

"I'm sorry for waking you. I just..." Temari voice trailed off. Hinata looked at her weirdly.

"Listen, I don't think I will be getting any more sleep tonight, if you need to talk, I will gladly listen." Temari looked back at her daughter. "You don't have to worry we'll be in the room right next to this one, And she'll be fine." She thought for a few second and finally looked at Hinata.

"Alright." Temari quietly closed the door even though she new that a loud noise would wake Miki up. She followed Hinata to the room it had to chairs and plenty of books. Hinata offered her a chair and she took it. Hinata sat in the one opposite of her.

"So, may I ask what your nightmare was about?"

"How did you know it was a nightmare?" Temari asked curious.

"I have my psychiatrist license and chance are you wouldn't scream for no reason." Temari starred at the ground fiddling with her fingers. "You don't have to talk if you don't want." Hinata smiled. "You can trust me." For some reason Temari new she could trust Hinata. She looked at the ground again.

"It..." Hinata looked curiously at her. "It was about my stepfather." Temari got out.

"What about your stepfather?"

"The nightmares won't stop." Temari cried. "Every time I close my eyes, I see his face."

"What does your step father do in these nightmares?" Temari could tell that she was good at her job.

"He...He does what he's always done to me, since I was 4." Temari said. "He makes me feel defenseless, useless, scared, and painful. I'm always a child with him."

"How does he make you feel this way? Words?"

"No, No, Since I was 4, He beat me whenever he wasn't happy with me."

"So he hurt you?"

"Yes, Every chance he got and he...Abused my mother... sexually and physical and he made me make sure my younger brother never found out. "

"Did your mother ever fight back?"

"Twice, one of those times she ended up in the hospital. She took it for me right until the day she was put in a coma."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Hinata looked sincere. Temari shook viciously, trembling at every memory.

"When she was first admitted, He came into my room," Temari pause as the tears over took her face. "He pinned me to my bed and began to undress me." Hinata's face look sadden. "He told me that he needed me and then," Temari took in a gulp. "He raped me." Hinata looked at her. Temari could tell that she had never heard a story like hers because Hinata looked like she was on the brink of tears. "After that I got pregnant and the beatings stopped but the sex never did. I became his new plaything since he had broken my mother." Temari smiled, "Then I had my first child, Gaara. He seemed like he could take away all the pain. He made it bearable. but soon after he was given birth too... My mother died."

"Did You mourn her?" Hinata asked.

"Yes, But when he couldn't see me. After that he made sure that Gaara records all said that My mother was his mother, But I couldn't help but act like his mother which made my brother, Kankuro jealous. So he began to hate me and add to my pain."

"Where is Gaara now?" Hinata asked.

"With his father... He hates me now. I saw him. He's now nine. He's mad that I left him." Temari wiped her tears. "Kyo's ruined everything I've ever had and i never fought hard enough." She grabbed her head. "I never fought back! It my fault that he tortures me! My fault!" She looked at the ground. Hinata walked towards her and hugged her.

"It's not you're fault. It's his for doing this to you. You had no power. He took it away. It's not your fault." Tears streamed done Hinata's face. She could for a second feel Temari's pain. "He won't ever do it again. Not ever."

"I just want the nightmares to stop. Do you know how to make them stop?"

"Shhh." Hinata said. "It's okay. Just think of something that makes you happy."

"I can't. I try. I can't. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Temari felt a little better just talking about it. She needed someone to talk too and most of all, she needed to cry.

Sorry it took so long...I've been busy but I'm going to try update more often. Anyway, Review!!!!!!!!!!
