Etsu: Sister of Gaara Chapter 3 The Mayhem Begins

    Gaara had come so far, yet at the same time no where at all. Ever since my uncle was ordered to kill him, Gaara hasn't been the same. He showed no emotion, other than anger. He loved no one but himself. But I knew he was hurting, I could see it, though no one else could. Gaara didn't look like either one of our parents, in actuality, he looked a lot like me. I don't know where I got my looks from, maybe a distant relative. We both stuck out like sore thumb on our family tree, him more so than me.
    I was proud of all three of my siblings, so strong yet so young, but than again, that's the way of the shinobi. I watched from on far, as they passed each and every part of the exams. I was filled with pride at how far they had all come, but I didn't show this, my face remained as stony as ever, a trick I had learned from my father. Though I hated the man with every fiber in my being, he did teach me a lot, and as much as I hated to admit it, I did love him, he is my father after all. Though he wasn't remotely close to being a good father.
    Finally the moment of truth had come, the third exam was under way, it was Gaara vs Sasuke Uchiha. Half way through the battle everything went to hell and the siege had begun. One thing I knew is even if I was from the village hidden in the sand, I would take no part in this, other than trying to keep my siblings safe. Instead of protecting the "Kazekage", which by now I was more than certain was an imposter, I followed my siblings. Too bad my first meeting with Gaara wouldn't be under the best circumstances, but oh well, there wasn't much I could do about it.
