Rasa has a Monster

Gaara

{Time skip 3 months}

Okay so about three weeks ago, Karura went into labor, which surprised us all because she wasn't due until this week. Gaara being three weeks premature scared all of us. So when some old lady walks in and starts drawing an alter around Karura while she's trying to have a baby, you can imagine my extreme unease. I had asked and asked what the hell she was doing but no one had answered me. The kids didn't know who she was either, and Rasa wouldn't tell me a damn thing about any of it. The closer it got to baby Gaara's birth date, the colder he got.

I remember sometime about a month ago, he had just got home from his duties as Kazekage. Temari and Kankuro were so happy to see him because they wanted him to feel Karura's stomach. Gaara had been kicking especially hard that day and everyone was happy. Everyone except Rasa. He must've had a bad day that day because he yelled at the kids as soon as he walked through the door. Which in turn pissed me off greatly. You don't bring your work home dammit! Poor Kankuro was so startled that he stayed in his room until dinner. Temari, the sweet headstrong girl, wasn't so easily scared. She ended up retaliating, which in theory wasn't the best idea, her and Rasa got into a small argument. Karura had noticed his growing anger just as easily as I had and decided to defuse the situation, but she only succeeded in raising both of their anger and agitation. Poor Karura could only watch the situation. I, who hadn't been with the family long enough to yell at any of them, could only watch as I sat next to Karura on the counter. It hadn't been long before Rasa had had enough and raised his hand. At this moment in time everything had started to move in slow motion and had sped up at the same time. I am not a very fast lizard. But in that moment I moved faster than any other Gila Monster ever had. I launched forward at the same time as Karura, but bless the poor woman, she had been way to slow. I had also been to slow but I had moved far faster than Karura. I latched down on Rasa's hand as soon as he let go of Temari's hair and I didn't let go. He jerked his hand, which didn't help him as my teeth dug deeper. I could feel my venom pushing through my teeth. I instinctively tried to roll my body around to help my venom flow through my teeth, because unlike a snake, my venom came up from my bottom teeth. Not from the top teeth. I didn't let go for nothing, no matter how hard he shook his hand. I held on like a cowboy at the rodeo. It wasn't until he grabbed me that I tried to let go. I had bit him way to hard, I couldn't get my teeth out of his flesh. He ripped me from his hand, which resulted in all of my front teeth being torn out. He had thrown me at the wall with force. I had broken something but it was worth it. No one hurts my children. Rasa ended up having to go to the hospital. He suffered edema, excruciating pain and a rapid drop in blood pressure. He was lucky that the hospital knew how to treat it. I had to spend about a week at the local vet. I had a fractured rib and they had to check on my teeth to make sure they would grow back correctly. The night Rasa and I were allowed to come home, he and Karura had a super loud argument. I had stayed in Temari's room with Kankuro and told them stories to keep them occupied. Rasa started avoiding me because he knew I didn't like him. Who the hell hits their fucking kid?! I don't give a shit who the hell you are or what power you have, we all bleed fucking red and I'm not afraid to fuck someone's shit up if you hurt someone I care for. Temari had a bruise on her face for about a week after that also. Karura had thanked me for protecting Temari. And I'll tell you this, he never tried anything like that since. Not with me around.

But now, Karura is gone. She died while giving birth to Gaara. And I figured out what that fucking hag did also. Apparently this world has monsters too. After Gaara was born I went to yell at Rasa about the old hag. She had sealed something inside of Gaara and turned him into what they call a jinchuriki. They had been plagued with attacks from a giant thing called a Shukaku, and instead of fucking manning up and finding a way to kill it or something they decided to seal it in a baby and push their troubles on the kid. That baby just so happened to be Gaara. I was fucking pissed. I attempted to fucking bite him again but his fucking ninja, called anbu, picked me up and took me back to Rasa's house. I haven't talked to that asshole since. Now I help Yashamaru with Gaara. I don't like him either. He's Rasa's go to anbu, and his loyalty is unwavering. I don't know what it is but I don't like him at all. A.L say's that it's an animal's internal instincts that help us decide who we trust, and he agrees with me about Yashamaru. It's just something about Yashamaru's smile that seems fake. I was never one that could tell fake people from genuine people, but this guy makes it easy. Every time he looks at my baby Gaara, he always has this look of disdain or hatred in his eyes. And no matter how much he tries to hide it, he just can't. I just don't trust him. Karura had me promise to her that I would protect Gaara and your damned fucking stupid if you think I would break that promise!
