Mother May I?

Mother May I?
By: Zykiel

Chapter one:
Mother May I…?
Gaara’s father had called him. The Kazekage. If he took the time to think about it, his ‘father’. But Gaara just didn’t think about it. Believe it or not, thinking about blood can be very time-consuming.
“Yes, Kazekage?” Gaara would never call him father to his face. It would feel too much like a lose. (??Is Lose even the right word? Somehow I don’t think so but I can’t think of anything else?)
“Gaara, This is Ai. Your to look after her.” With that the Suna leader turned and walk away.
“Me?”
Gaara got no answer, and the child, someone so much younger then himself, was sleeping. As for Gaara he just watched her. Not quiet certain what to think. The sand on the floor started to shift. Slowly he raised his hand…
And the baby woke up, and looked like it was about to cry until its eyes saw Gaara. It’s own tiny hands reached out, small mouth grinning…
Gaara froze. Not certain what to do. Her eyes were Silver like the moon he would stare at for hours. Eyes that were like a fox’s or a wolf’s. Only instead of pastel green, her eyes were silver, like the moon. He couldn’t make his body move. So he stood there one hand raised, and staring at the little girl, his father had entrusted him with…Why?
To Kill.
I-I don’t think I want too…that thought alone was almost too much for Gaara.
Why would He  purposely leave something within your reach if he did not want it killed?
But I-I can’t move…
She was so tiny…so small. Gaara could crush her in one of his hands…I should. I should do what mother says… “Please, don’t be mad at me…. Please forgive me…I can’t…. I can’t move.”
Only the echo’s a growl. Mother was very angry. Gaara raised his hand a little higher, but could not make it close on the baby. The baby reaching out to him…
“Please, forgive me, mother.”
Kill her Gaara; she is a threat to you!
“B-But Mother…”
Now!
“Please…Calm Down…I-I have an Idea…”
Silence. Maybe she would listen to Gaara’s Idea.
“I do what you say…almost always…I’ve given you lots of good blood, haven’t I? Then…then can I keep her? As a gift, I could teach her to hate too…teach her to be like me…to help you, mother. Please? Mother may I, please?”
Silence still. Gaara hoped his mother would say yes. He’d never had anything want to be close to him. He didn’t know much young children.
She will betray you Gaara.
“Then you can have her…if that happens…”
Vary well Gaara. But I tried to warn you…keep her, if that’s what you want.
“T-thank you, mother…”
