Chapter 1

There was not a time when he, Gaara, was sine, he lost his mother at birth, his family resented him and his father had made 11 failed attempts to kill him. He never was loved by anyone or so he thought, both his siblings loved him very much they were just afraid of him every since that day he believed that no one loved him. His uncle was the one that hurt him the most, his uncle was a look like to his mother, her twin, his uncle was the only one that did not seemed to hate him. He was happy, his uncle was his favorite, he would always seek out his uncle, and his uncle even told him the surface of what love was but that did not last long.

It was a night that he would never forget, it was the 11th failed attempt on his life but this time it wasn't his father nor some stupid maid that didn't know how to get things through. He was surprised when he discovered that the killer was his own uncle, he cried out in pain, he did not understand, why was his uncle trying to kill him? Didn't he tell him that he cared for him? He just couldn't understand until his uncle told him, he was on his last breathe when the attempt completely back fired even so his uncle seemed to have no regrets except one, he HATED him, his uncle wanted to kill him because he was the one that killed his sister, his beloved sister.

Gaara cried that night and it was the last time he ever cried for a long time.

Up until he was 12 he seemed unreachable, he was always cold, never ever once showing his true intentions. His siblings were trying make up for lost times, they were older now the eldest sister, Temari, was 14 and the older brother, Kankuro, was 13, they knew that in the past they neglected their little brother, never once trying to figure him out and help him with his troubles. Now they understand they were so cruel to their brother, not saying a word to him nor giving him any attention. So now they're trying to let go of the past and start a new one, but that was fairly impossible, even though that they grew up their brother still stood still in the darkness, of course they couldn't leave him so they tried their best even though he hated them.

When they went to the same together their brother would always get into fights never once thinking of the consequences that would come after, the older siblings were always the one to bail him out when he needed it. He never appreciated it but they could understand that. It was then that he picked a fight that he could NOT win, both boys were upper classmen with his older sister, so she knew them. A boy with black hair and eyes, and the other blond hair and blue eyes, pretty dumb if you ask me, and that's what he always thought he thought the kid was extremely dumb, he acted wired and he hung out with a people that seemed to put him down all time. He hated that, he hated the way his blue eyes would glitter with emotion, he hated that he even tried to speak to him when he came over to pick up his sister for some social event, he hated the way he was so cheerful; it was disgusting.

It was at a random time when he saw the boy with wired hair do, his black eyes gazing into his own; they had been just walking along minding their own business until they bump into each other. He did not know why but the time felt so right to kick this guy off his high horse, he never did like this kid, he is one of the people that always seemed to bring the blond down, he would pick fights with him too. He looked around one time to see if there were any people and to his luck there, only a few that would call the police of things got out of hand.

He looked back at the boy, who name was Sasuke Uchiha, and all Sasuke did was cock his head to the side. Of course, he didn't like it, what was Sasuke trying to do? Sasuke had no emotions in his eyes; he just looked at him as if he was nothing but a flea.

Then in a split second, Sasuke glared at him "Stay away from Naruto"

Naruto? So that's the boys name. He never really paid much of attention to anyone's name but this person here.

"Also, I don't care if you're Temari's little brother, you better watch your step"

The red head only glared back "And why's that?"

Sasuke gave a nasty sigh and put one hand on his hip "Because that's what Naruto always talks about now"

Teal eyes widened "Why?"

Sasuke straightened up "I don't know, sometimes Naruto can be so difficult that you can't talk him out of anything" he mumbled the rest.

The red head smirked "Then I should kill him then"

Sasuke growled, "Stay away from him"

The read head continued to smirk before walking off, this was a lot better than fighting, now he knows a weakness against Sasuke. He knew the raven was watching him so he turned around "If you don't know my name is Gaara"

Sasuke scoffed "I know your name" he said simply.

"Then if you do, you know when to stay out of my business and if….Naruto wants to talk to me, then his mother wouldn't mind"

Sasuke scowled "He doesn't have any parents"

Gaara did not think much of it; "I was talking about you, Uchiha" Gaara smoothly turned and walked off. 'Naruto' he chuckled 'What a weird name' he sighed and looked up at the sky 'Guess another kill wouldn't hurt anyone'

Not much of a fight, he knew it was not going to happen wants they stared talking, He does not talk before fighting anyone, and it was just against his rules. He also earned information, Naruto was the blonds' name, it suited him for some reason even though it meant something that you put in ramen.

---------------

Gaara frowned he did not like what today had brought, for one thing Sasuke was dragged by Naruto to their house. He was greeted last by the blond but not after the glaring contest between the raven and himself.

"Gaara" Naruto called.

Gaara frowned but switched his gaze to the blue eyes boy, he didn't say anything.

Naruto grinned, he was used to the silence from Sasuke and his bother Itachi, so nothing so new "How've you been?" he cocked his head to the side when he didn't get a response from the red head. "Soooo…um" Naruto scratched the back of his head before sighing. Gaara was setting on a white couch wearing a typical black and red outfit and red air forces.

"Gaara please get your feet off the couch," Temari said from the kitchen.

Gaara frowned over his should before putting his feet of the ground. Naruto smiled and preceded to sit beside him "Now I can talk to you" he grinned.

The red cocked his head to the said, it had only been a week after his encounter with the Uchiha, so he had time to think about how to destroy this boys happiness. "Why are you talking to me?"

Naruto only smiled "Because I already talked to Temari and Kankuro so why not you?"

"So you're only talking to me because you already talked to my siblings? Tch, kind of selfish isn't it?" He almost smirked.

"No, not really, it's not the only reason why I want to talk to you but because you remind me of someone"

"Uchiha?"

Naruto smiled but shook his head "No, me"

After that day, Naruto started talking to Gaara more frequency and for some reason it made Gaara really…happy.

Gaara sighed, is has been weeks since Naruto unofficially became his friend. He didn't talk nor hang out with the blond like others do, they just talk to each other when they see each other. Today was a food contest at the school, it was a weekend thing, but their were a lot of people. Naruto was in Culinary Arts one of his works will be there to be judge,

Gaara didn't believe it when Naruto said that he was in Culinary Arts, he always thought he was a goof off and could get nothing done even IF he was a senior in high school.

Gaara came separately from his siblings, he didn't want to come with them, he knew that Temari would drag him everywhere and annoy him even more. He came just to see and he would leave just the way he came. Naruto invited him to see his work, of course Temari kept teasing that it was a date, WHY would it be a date? It didn't make any sense, why would Gaara even want to date anyone and besides why would anyone want to date him.

The red head sighed, at the school there were two brick gates that surrounded the front of the school and the entrance way was the only way you can get throw without being a teacher that has a key so you can get through the back.

Gaara 'humped' and tossed his head to the side, he didn't want to come anyway, the chains on his black pants swung in motion, he crossed his black and red stripped covered arms and almost impatiently tapped his black bucked boots.

"Gaara!!"

The red head cocked his head to the side wondering who was calling him, not a lot of people knew who he was. He turned to find his blond friend running up to him, he almost frowned in annoyance. Naruto was wearing the traditional cooking uniform just that he wasn't wearing the matching hat.

"Gaara" Naruto grinned as he came up to the boy, he was really glad that he came; Gaara was a sophomore so the interaction between them was a bit off. "I'm glad you came" He was 3 inches taller the red head so the more he looks at Gaara the more he thinks he's sooooo cute, just like a little brother.

Gaara frowned and glared up at him "I did not want to come"

"I know but still" the blond shrugged and continued to grin at the boy. "Hey the competition is going to start in a while so why don't you find somewhere to chill out" he turned from the boy expecting him to follow him and to his surprise the sophomore was actually following him.

Gaara only followed the boy because he didn't know where to go and he doesn't know anyone besides him and his siblings. They passed a few stops and saw Temari with Shikamaru and Kankuro talking to some purple haired girl. He noticed that Naruto stop and was about to go over to them but he stopped him "Can we, not go over there"

Naruto looked down at Gaara and was a surpised to see a sad and angered emotion that flashed in his eyes. "Um, sure" he nodded with a warm smile which, where he bets ALL of his manga and cooking skills, that Gaara blushed, he actually blushed. 'This is good'

Gaara frowned and looked down in embarrassment 'Damn it I know I blushed. Why did I blushed, this is so annoying' Behind Naruto's back he slapped his palm on his forehead. This was one of he first times that he has blushed ever since he was little, he thought that couldn't show any more emotions.

"So you're going to hang with me?" Naruto asked from in front of him.

Gaara nodded "Yeah I guesss, I have no where else to go 'sides home" then he thought 'Yeah maybe I should go home" he was about to turn around but the hand that clamped onto his arm stopped him.

"No, Gaara please don't go I still want you to eat some of my cooking" the blond begged.

Gaara felt a wave of annoyance for this boy he never did like it when people begged "I don' want to eat any of your shit, so leave me alone!" he yelled then he regretfully wanted to take it back. Naruto looked so hurt by his words that it surprised him that made him think 'I make everyone look like that' Not that he didn't care about people it just that he just try not to get so close that that emotion would appear on anyone's face; it scare him. He frowned "Sorry" he whispered lowly Naruto was not so sure that he heard it right.

The senior gasped, he felt his heart fluttered, he never thought that Gaara would say anything like that "That's…ok, don't worry about" he smiled down to the boy. Gaara looked up at which made him blush, Gaara looked up at with the most puppy doggy-est eyes ever it made him so cute. 'So cute' "Come on my booth's this way"
