Haha, this story is finally over I'm so happy, enjoy!
Chapter 17: A trip
The sun shined down on the little village of Suna, but surprisingly it wasn't to hot like on some days. A little red head girl that was six years old stared up at the clear blue sky and watched a flow of birds past by. Looking forward she noticed that they had almost reached their destination.
She looked down at her brothers that were holding on to their mother's hands as they carried flowers. Unlike her brothers that were walking on the ground she was riding on the shoulders of a tall man. She always liked to ride on his shoulders it made her feel taller and superior to her brothers.
They entered The Suna Cemetery and took the left path as they past many tombstones. The red head girl never really liked coming here, it freaked her out that there were dead people here that might come to life and eat her. Yes it might sound a little too scary for a little girl her age to think about but it was her older brother's fault, he likes to watch scary movies.
They soon came to the past Kazekage section of the cemetery. They had the largest tombstones in the graveyard to honor their past rulers. They came to one of them and stood in front of it.
The two red head boys looked up at their mother with questionable looks. She smiled at them and nodded her head. They both smiled and walked over to the grave and laid their flowers on the soil. The little girl handed her flowers, which she held in her hand, to her mother as she was still sitting on the man's shoulders.
The woman walked over to the grave with a bit of a frown on her face and placed the flower with other ones. She bowed her and said a little prayer in her head before she returned to her children and the man.
"Mommy why are you so sad when we come here?" one of the red head boys asked.
"Will," she kneed down to the boy's level. "It brings back painful memories that I wish would have never happen."
"Are you still sad now?" the other boy asked.
"No of course not." Their mother smiled.
"That's nice, aunty Temari said that it's not good for a blossom to be sad. She said it would lose its pink." the same boy that asked if she was still sad.
"Your not going to lose your hair are you mommy?" the other asked.
"No of course not. I wouldn't lose my hair Sota." Sakura laughed.
Both Naru and Sota smiled and hugged their mother. Sakura happily returned the hug and kissed the top of their heads. Slowly she pulled away and looked over to Tsubaki riding on the tall man's shoulders. Sakura soon frowned as she knew what was going through his head, after all it was just as hard for him then it is for her.
Tsubaki stared at the tombstone and tried to read what it said but couldn't because she was still six years old after all. She looked down to see the tall man's face and noticed that he was frowning. Was there something she didn't know about their family member they visited every year?
"You ok daddy?" Tsubaki asked.
Gaara broke out of his thoughts and smiled at the little girl on his shoulders.
"Yes I'm fine Tsubaki." He smiled.
After about ten minutes they left the cemetery and head home. Tsubaki was on the ground with her brothers as they walked in front of their parents. Gaara and Sakura held hands as they walked behind their children with smiles.
Sakura looked out the corner of her eye and noticed that her husband was a bit gloomy.
"You ok Gaara?" Sakura asked.
Gaara looked over to his wife and smiled a bit. "Yeah, it's just strange you know. It's been six years now since I reclaim everything and…" he paused for a moment, "Killed him."
Sakura frowned as she watched him stared at the ground. Wrapping her arms around his arm she snuggled up to him and smiled sweetly.
"Gaara, I know it's hard but you did what you had to do. No one blamed you when you killed your father." She rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know but… I feel like I just proved him right for being a monster on that day." The older red head looked up at the sky.
"Gaara, your not a monster, he was the monster. He was the reason why your life was so hard and you became a killer. I think everyone realizes that now." Sakura smiled.
Gaara didn't say anything and just smiled at her kind words. He kissed her softly on the lips and looked up ahead him to see his three children. His smile grew bigger as knew that they would have to send them off to the academy very soon to become fine shinobis.
Yes everything was looking up for him again. He became the Fifth Kazekage again, was able to be with Sakura and his children, Yuffie was able to come visit anytime again, but most importantly he was treated like a human again and not just some monster or outcast. Yeah his life was great again, heck it was better. Because now he knew that his nightmare was finally gone forever.
