Being a dad means teaching your kids that life is unfair
Gaara didn't think that his speech on his high expectations for his children messed them up. They probably didn't even pay attention. His kids weren't like the Uchihas who strive to be the best thing since slice bread. They were like the Hyugas who are the greatest thing since slice bread.
Imagine his surprise when he opened the door to a hard day of work and found Temari with a murderous glint in her eyes. Gaara had always been more scared of his sister than his sister being scared of him.
"Thanks to your little speech Unmei is crying because she didn't graduate top of her class."
"How is that possible? I thought the speech told her I wanted her or one of them to be Kazekage. Kazekage don't don't graduate top of their class."
"Do you have any idea how much you sound like an Uchiha or your uncle in law right now?" Temari put her hands on her hips. Kami, Gaara could be such an idiot at times.
Gaara blinked processing this. He did sound an awful lot like Sasuke or Hiashi. He hated his uncle in law and had a sort of friendly rivalry with the Uchiha. Neither were men he wanted to be compared to. "Is Neji comforting her?"
"Of course he is! He grew up watching Hiashi's treatment of Hianta and Hanbi. I'm surprised he didn't smack you for giving that speech!"
As Temari finished her biting words, Neji came down the stairwell. "Unmei graduated second. I think that is good enough. She blamed it on the fact that her sensei is 'faggot hater' and that you should exile him for discrimination. I gave her some cookies and a glass of milk."
"I'm going to talk to her." Gaara raised his hands up. Temari was known for attacks and everyone knows what Neji would do to protect his children.
The door to Unmei's room was ajar and Gaara went inside. Unmei was taking out the chocolate chips in a cookie. Her glass of milk was empty.
Gaara cleared his throat before talking to her. "You know, I never liked that man. He was so homophobic. Even tried to assassinate me once when I became Kazekage."
This piped Unmei's interest and she raised her head to look at her father. Her eyes were bloodshot and tired. It made Gaara think back to the time he forgot Seiko's birthday. He sucked at being a dad.
"He told me you and Father were going to hell. I told him I already knew that you were going to hell because you had a sadistic horny demon inside of you." Unmei said proud to know her family history.
Gaara sweat dropped. Where had his children learned this things? Kankuro was spending too much time with them.
"Honey, they were always be people who hate gay people. Those kinds people do cruel things and even people who aren't gay themselves but only support them get treated cruelly. I should have him arrested or executed."
"It's not even because of that! He could have loved gay guys and cross-dressed for a hobby and I still would have made second! What is great-uncle Hiashi going to think of me now?" Unmei cried standing on top if her bed.
"That you've been spending too much time with Uncle Kankuro."
