Part 13
The next morning, Katya went up to her daughter's room. Rue was sprawled out over her bed, still asleep. Her cheeks still wet from the night before. Katya didn't want to wake her yet, but if she didn't she'd back out of telling her the truth.
It was a large secret. It was also a quite unbelievable one. When Katya did tell Rue she was hoping she wouldn't be too mad at her. She contemplated writing her it out for Rue. But, knowing Rue, she'd write it off as fiction.
Katya sat on the edge of Rue's bed and rubbed her back slowly.
"Rue… It's time to get up." Katya told her softly. That was enough to get Rue to stir. She shifts enough to look at her mother, her eyes fluttering open.
"Sleep well?" Katya asked wiping Rue's cheeks. Rue nodded and sat up. "Rue, honey, I have to tell you something, but, it's going to wait until you wake up more. Are you hungry?" She added softly.
"Okay… yea. I'm going to wash my face… "Rue answered tiredly as she got out of bed. Katya nodded and went to the kitchen as Rue went into the bathroom.
Hearing the water running, Katya made Rue some toast with sweet jam. Something she'd make when Rue got sick. Katya placed the plate and a glass of juice on the table as Rue joined her in the kitchen.
Looking at the spread, she sat at the table and looked up at her mother
"Am I sick?" She asked as she picked up a slice of toast and nibbled on it.
"No… but you may get sick after what I have to say." Katya said sitting next to Rue
"Oh…? Why's that?" Rue asked.
"Well… uh… I haven't been totally honest with you." Katya told her only to receive a face that most definitely said 'Duh'. Katya couldn't help but fidget under Rue's watchful gaze. She would have been an excellent kunoichi, if Katya had said no.
"It's about… Well what you asked last night. I have a legitimate answer for you… One I was hoping I'd never have to tell you. Not that the answer I'd always given isn't true, because it is. And you may not believe this new answer." Katya rambled as Rue ate her toast.
"Well I guess it all happened shortly after you were born. Lord Kazekage found that his unborn child was a compatible host for a tailed beast. When he went to seal it in the child, complications arose and he was born premature and his mother passed on. But the Lord Kazekage still wanted the child to host the beast. So he could maybe use him as a weapon." Kaya started. Rue knew she was talking about Gaara so she urged her to continue.
"But because of the complications and being premature, Lord Kazekage was afraid the beast would reject his host. So he turned to another baby, a healthy little girl who was born a month ahead of schedule. And he asked the girls mommy for something that most likely could not be returned to the girl" Katya paused as Rue finished her toast and sipped her dink.
"And here's where I come in?" Rue asked setting her cup down again.
"Yes here is where you come in my sweet girl." Katya smiled and took a deep breath.
"Now the little girl's mommy was a little… Okay a lot, sleep deprived. The little girl was so energetic and never seemed to sleep. So the mommy said yes and the little girl was taken away. And, once again, the beast was to be sealed into the boy. And as it was sealed into him the girl's chakra was siphoned out of her and into the boy, until she had very little left. This time there were no complications as the beast was sealed away into the boy." Katya finished.
Rue stared at her empty plate, horrified.
"So… I'm why people see Gaara as a monster?" She asked quietly.
"You could think of it like that. Or you could be positive. You're why Gaara is alive now. Sure he has something in him that you and I helped put there. But it only makes him a monster if he lets it." Katya said trying to soothe her daughter.
Again I gotta stress that these are my version of events
