"Hey, Dad," I said, finally just saying Dad, though my feelings twords hadn't changed, "If age doesn't matter and who we were is unimportant, than how do we distinguish ranks between one another?"
"When I died I knew more than you. How curious. Well, we have no need for ranks. We will pass over soon enough anyway," he explained.
"Oh, has this happened to anyone before? Not knowing anything at first."
"Not that I know of. Maybe it's a jinchuriki thing? though they all have passed over."
How wonderful, I thought I was lonely before? I can't communicate with anyone but my dad. At least I had Kankuro, Temari, and later, Naruto to talk to. To feel close to, at least a few, "certain people" aren't here. That would make me even more miserable.
Suddenly, I hear a familiar voice and one I know from somewhere, "Gaara? Gaara, over here. Hi, gosh you have grown!"
Just the person I didn't want to see, my uncle Yoshamaru. But, there is a beautiful woman standing next to him. Thing is, Yoshamaru was never married. I know I've seen her face before. Who is she and how does she know this horrible person?
"Let me do this, I think he's starting to trust me more," Dad explains to the woman, "Gaara, this is your mom. she's waited fifteen years to meet you. Though if she had been here watching you, I wouldn't be surprised."
Everthing was quiet as the woman began to speak, "Gaara, oh, look at my little boy, all grown up. I have always been there, with you, Kankuro, and Temari. I saw everything."
"Then you agree with Dad, you think I was a monster right," I interupteed suddenly feeling hurt and depressed at what I thought her answer would be. I was dead, why could I feel this pain?
"Why could I do such a thing? It was I who loved you when there was nobody. What you did was monsterous, but it was what you did later that makes up for it. You put your life on the line to save the village, and you left your mark, and there it will stay for all eternity."
"The village would have never had to go through that if I wasn't there. The only reason the Akatsuki came there was to get Shukaku. My village was wrecked because I was alive.Now I can't cause anymore pain, suffering, or destuction."
Then, out of nowhere my mom wraps me in a hug. Doesn't she get it? Psycos aren't supposed to get hugs, people who do bad things don't get love, and both of those appply to me. In fact, Anyone else would curse my soul for all eternity. Why does she feel so loving when I just met her? Is she doing this because she cares about me and my feeling? The feelings I've hidden for so long, they feel extinguished? Is this what it's like to have a mom?
