Title: Fatherly Affection
Summary: Tayuya ponders about the flaws of Kimimaro.
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Within a few week of meeting Kimimaro, Tayuya decides she hates him the most out of all the Sound Nins.
It is not because he is perfect, but because he really isn't.
Everyone has a flaw.
Sakon is impulsive, acting on adrenaline and raw power.
Jiroubo is ignorant, too slow and stupid to know the difference between what he believes ought to be and how it is.
Kidoumaru is obdurate; he has all ready made his mind up. Fate for him is undeniable.
No one is perfect. Tayuya knows this for a fact.
She is a perfect example, even though she would never admit them out loud, she isn't foolish enough to deny that they don't exist either.
After weeks of fighting (and losing), she wonders if he is human.
She despises the way in which he moves when they are fighting.
But she knows deep down, he has one flaw, if it can be consider a flaw. Maybe not, since most people in Sound have it too.
They worship Orochimaru, like ill mannered children. Begging for attention at every turn, trying to beat one another to the praises, losing dignity and pride along the way. Hoping for a touch of affection, hoping for something they've never had, love.
The one thing he promised them.
