Not a monster [Gaara of the sand love story] Modern au

Chapter four- Realization

Sarina closed her eyes as she sighed out. "I don't think any of you would believe me or have the guts to hear it all."

Kankuro was starting to think what he heard from Sabrina was all wrong-that Sarina wasn't the bad one out of the two of them. That it was her-Everything he heard that Sarina would do, was actually Sabrina. Kankuro sighed out and he spoke up for once.

"Father, she's gone through a lot it's best not to ask her that right now. She's probably really hungry, very tired and in need of a good bath. Maybe once she's mentally sound enough to speak about her past it'd be a good time but not now. She's been suffering on her own for too long." Kankuro said sincerely

Sarina was surprised to hear what Kankuro said about her. She teared up as she looked to him. "T-Thank you Kankuro...It means a lot that you'd say that."

Kankuro placed a hand on the top of her head. "Hey I might be a guy but I ain't stupid especially with what was said by you not that long ago. I know how to place four and four together. Sabrina isn't the goody-two-shoes she thought she was. I thought it was a bit off that she would act so dumb around some others we knew when she said that she was a lot smarter than you-I thought she was acting a bit fishy; now I know why."

Sarina gave him a weak smile before she nodded her head. "I'm glad at least you could figure it out. There were a few others that came by the house that would treat me just as bad if not worse than my siblings did. If I remember their names correctly their names were Itachi and Sasgay Uchiha, Ino Yamanaka, and a guy name Deidara."

Kankuro laughed a bit before he shook his head. Gaara and Temari just shook their heads at their brother. "You said Sasuke's name wrong." Temari stated looking back to her

Sarina blinked her eyes a few times. "Oh-is that why Kankuro is laughing like a crazy person?"

"Don't mind him, he just finds stupid things funny." Gaara said with a sigh

"Oh-okay..." Sarina said confused

Temari just sighed out before she spoke up. "Don't worry about it-Kankuro is just being a moron."

Sarina nodded her head as she looked to the blond haired female. The rest of the car ride was fairly quiet other than the music that was playing. Sarina hadn't heard music in a long period of time so hearing it soothed her mind a bit she found herself leaning up against Gaara as the music played. Gaara didn't mind that she had leaned herself up against him-he actually hoped that she would since he was so concerned for her and it if he hadn't stepped towards her and gotten her out of the situation she had been in she would have been killed.

As the trio of siblings father parked the car in front of the car he had his kids leave the car before he looked directly to Sarina. She looked to him confused. "Sir?"

"I want to find out the truth about what happened to you and I'd like for you to be able to call me your father since I'd like to be able to adopt you since you have no parents right now."

She blinked her eyes a few times. "I...I never had a male figure that actually cared for me-this will be weird for me but I'm okay with it." She said with a nod of her head.

"Good, I'm glad to hear that Sarina. For now I'd like for you to listen to what Temari says and hopefully things will be better for you." He said sincerely

She nodded her head again before he helped her out of the car. She began to shiver as she hugged herself. "S-So cold out.."

"It's going to get worse over night. C'mon let's get inside Sarina."

She nodded her head and went into the house after the door was opened for her. When she went into the house she felt warm again. At that time Temari had gotten downstairs and smiled at Sarina. "I got a warm bath ready for you Sarina, c'mon I'll take you upstairs so you can get clean."

Sarina nodded her head. "Okay thank you Temari."

Temari grinned as she held her hand as she helped her up the steps and to the bathroom. Due to how tight the clothes were on Sarina Temari had to cut the clothes off of her. Temari backed away from her as she saw the many scars on her back and on her legs. "Oh my gosh-I know you said that you had been abused but this...this isn't what I was expecting to see."

Sarina shrugged. "I got used to it after the first year-after year two some of the pain became numb to me-after year three it was just the re-run of the same old thing."

"T-Three years?"

"Well actually technically four. From age Ten on-wards till Marcus had burned in the house I was raped, physically and mentally abused by him. The first time that he had done it...I didn't expect it to constantly do it while our parents were out. I honestly thought he was just pissed off that his last girlfriend dumped him-but once it came to an every day occurrence when our parents were gone...I figured out that he was just abusing me cause he made a bet with Sabrina which he won. He didn't want to stop after the bet-so I was his way of getting out his frustration and such." Sarina said with a sigh as she felt the rest of the clothes she wore being cut away from her skin.

Temari felt bad for the young brunette girl, she wondered just how was she able to go on living on the streets at her age but didn't question her out right just yet. Instead she helped her into the bath once she was naked and threw her old clothes away. "I'll be back with clothes that you can borrow till I can get you clothes that'll actually fit you Sarina."

She nodded her head as she looked to Temari. As she soaked in the water she could slowly feel her feet and realized that the entire time she had been out on the streets that her shoes had become too small for her and that she'd probably need a whole new wardrobe of crappy clothes that she could wear. She sighed out and dived her head into the water to clear her mind and to get her hair wet.
