Gaara's Daughter (Gaara's Romance #2) (Naruto/Boruto FanFic)

Legacy of Shukaku

She was crying at the window-sill, having put her head in her hands. Her silent sobs could be heard through the Shin girls' room... But no one was in the room except her now...

She looked up at the window, hot tears in her eye, but she was not looking through the window now, but into it, observing her own self, her own face...

"Why... Why it has to be me... Why am I this monster's vessel... I, who couldn't protect even a single cousin... One who attacked her own brothers... I'm a disgrace..." she whispered, crying.

"Shamo, may I come in?" she suddenly heard a soothing deep voice.

She saw her green-haired mechanic cousin through the window glass.

"What do you want?" she sobbed out.

"Just came to check on you," Mekano calmly replied, walking up to her, "I know how worried you were... Shusui and Nami helped the medical ninjas in hospital. Now Shinki's fine. No need to worry".

"You don't understand..." Shamo sobbed, "I'm a monster... Why do I have to be the Diyuma wielder?! I'm not cut out for it... Look at yourself!" she suddenly exclaimed, "What I have done to you!"

Hearing this, Mekano, as if struck right at heart, sadly sighed, and looked down at his mechanic right hand... It was true - when they were little children, over 7 years old both, Lady Lao Shin and her siblings, including his own mother - Lady Dao Shin, - transferred the whole Diyuma spirit into Shamo. This caused Shamo's soul to be consumed, and she instantly turned monstrous, and as she was inexperienced, she couldn't control her spirit and it went on rampage, consequently attacking little Mekano and that was the day he lost his right arm and both of his legs, as well as his right eye... It was a shock for Lady Dao Shin and Master Kokujin Lin, his parents... After that, his father, Kokujin, the renown technician in Hidden Fir Village, attached mechanic limbs to him, and put a mechanic red eye into him. After that day, he turned into a cyborg boy for the rest of his life...

But he had forgiven Shamo for a long time now - he could understand she was in no better position - she was in deep bond with a monstrous massive spirit and she could feel uncomfortable with it more than he felt with his cyborg limbs.

"Shamo, you know all times you hurt someone you acted against your own will," he said, putting his soft left hand on her shoulder, "No need to blame yourself so hardly over it... And by the way, the fact that your mother, Auntie Lao didn't act like that when she was your age, doesn't mean you shouldn't have difficulties... After all, you don't have only her blood rushing through you..."

Hearing this, Shamo widened eyes, and lent ear more carefully.

"After your father, Lord Kazekage, disclosed to us that he was a jinchuriki, I decided to talk with his brother, your uncle, Kankuro. He told me many interesting things, by which I managed to relate you more to your father both by appearance and by the abilities to handle an additional mind inside you, in your case, the Diyuma's one. And furthermore, you have Auntie Lao's emotional nature, so that makes a very hard combination. You won't have an easy training process, but that doesn't mean you should conclude you're a monster. You're just not experienced enough. That is why we should train harder. And until you master your powers, no more Tamashi Ketto or other nonsense," he puckered.

Shamo, hearing this, sighed, but then she attentively glanced at Mekano and anxiously asked:

"You mentioned conversation with Uncle Kankuro... What exactly did he say?"

Mekano chuckled, crossing arms.

"I guess it would be better if you asked him yourself. I will accompany you".
