I do not own Naruto. It belongs to Masashi Kishimoto... though I really wished I did since I love the Naruto series so much. XD Anywho, I own the original characters in here unless I state otherwise.

Chapter One: Gaara's Insomnia

Gaara yawned as he sat down in the chair behind his desk just as the door opened and his older siblings came in.

"You didn't sleep again last night, did you?" Temari asked him with concern.

Gaara shook his head. "It doesn't matter."

"Sure it does. You need your rest. Now that the Shukaku is out, you should be able to sleep without worrying about it taking over you." Kankuro said, flopping down in a chair in front of the desk.

"You're worried about something, aren't you? That's why you're not sleeping." Temari observed.

"Yea." Gaara said. He looked out the window. "I'm worried about Naruto. Akatsuki could make him their next target at any time."

"Don't worry. Naruto's not the type to just roll over and let them get what they want. He'll stop them." Kankuro said confidently.

Gaara said, "I know... but...I wish there was more that I could do for him. He did save me after all."

Kankuro nodded. "I know. Hey! I just got a good idea, why don't we go to Konoha and see him. We haven't seen that brat in awhile. Let's go now. It takes at least three days to get there."

"Idiot! Gaara just can't get up and leave! He's Kazekage now, or did you forget that? If he just got up and left, the elders would think he isn't the right person for the job. And what if the village was attacked?"

"Oh, yea..." Kankuro sighed. "We could always bring him here."

"I think we should go there to him." Gaara told them after thinking for several seconds.

"But Gaara-" Temari began, but stopped when Gaara raised his hand in a stop sign way.

"Everyone knows that I suffer from amnesia-" Gaara began.

"Don't you mean insomnia?" Kankuro corrected his younger brother.

"Huh? Isn't that what I said?" Gaara said, tilting his head curiously to the side.

Kankuro smiled, thinking briefly on what would have happened years ago if he had even attempted to correct his brother. "Nope, you said amnesia."

"Oh. As I was saying, everyone knows that I suffer from insomnia. So they would most likely understand if I go to Konoha to see Naruto to clear my head. Beside, I heard there is a medical-nin there who specializes in curing insomnia. At least that is what I have heard. So if we just tell them that we are going for that, then everything should be fine. I don't really want to leave Sunagakure alone though..." Gaara bit his lip. "I could always make a clone and leave it behind..."

"Yea! And then we wouldn't have to tell the old people about it and we could leave right now." Kankuro said, jumping up from his seat. "C'mon!"

"Kankuro, I think you're up to something... what are you planning?" Temari said, looking at her brother closely.

"N-nothing! Let's just go." Kankuro said happily.

Gaara and Temari looked at each other and shrugged.

Gaara created a clone of himself and walked around to the front of the desk while Clone Gaara sat down.

"Let's go." Gaara said, leading the way out of the room as his siblings followed him.

Meanwhile off in Orochimarus' current hideout, Kabuto began to work on another of his experiments. As he worked, he didn't notice Orochimaru had entered until the older man spoke.

"How's it coming along, Kabuto?" Orochimaru smiled.

Kabuto jumped slightly. "Oh, Orochimaru-sama, you startled me. I thought you and Sasuke were training?"

"We were, but he both needed a break. Is it almost ready?" Orochimaru said.

Kabuto nodded. "Yes, I think it may be ready to test it. I just have to make sure I find the right human subjects for this though."

"I see. That is good. I'll leave you to your work." Orochimaru turned to leave, but stopped when Kabuto spoke.

"That Nechra woman... was it such a good idea to bring her back?" Kabuto said nervously. He didn't want to question Orochimaru about something after all he had done for Kabuto... but this was something he had to question.

"Of course. She's... how can I say this... our trump card against those insects known as Akatsuki." Orochimaru laughed as she left the lab.

Kabuto sighed, hoping that Orochimaru knew what he was doing.

"Kakashi-sensei, what are we going to be doing today? What kind of training is it going to be?" Naruto said in greeting as Kakashi finally arrived.

"It's going to be a little bit different than normal. You're-" He began, but was cut off by a short female appearing next to him.

She was at least five foot three inches tall and had long black hair that went all the way down to her hips. Her eyes were dark brown and were looking at Naruto intently. "You're training today is to take on my three wonderfully strong students. For in reality when Akatsuki comes to get your demon, they will not play fair and have one on one battles, oh no, they will attack you in a pair. Therefore to stay one step ahead of your enemies, you will fight three opponents on this day. And they are my students!"

"You already said that, Kyoki." Kakashi told her.

"Do not correct me!" She punched him on the arm. "First there is Omiyage Roku; he may not look like it, but he is a super strong fighter." She said, indicating behind her to a young man who had black hair that went down to his neck, but he kept it back in a ponytail while his bangs hung on the sides of his face. He had his arms crossed over his chest. He wore a plain shirt that was medium blue. He wore fingerless black gloves. He wore black shorts that went down to his knees. He wore the regular ninja footing. "Next is Hyuga Hidoi; He's from the Hyuga clan if you didn't catch that his last name is Hyuga. He may look lazy, but he's not." Kyoki said, indicating to the young man standing next to Roku. He had short spiky dark brown hair. His eyes were like any other Hyuga's and was a light lavender-silver color. He wore a light grey jacket over a sleeveless black sweater along with that went down to his mid-shin. "And lastly is Asoko Machi who is my only female student and is the only one out of the three who is shorter than me. Of course it is only by one inch though. She has a level head and is good at keeping people calm." Kyoki's last student was a young woman with medium length light red hair. Machi had green eyes that looked at Naruto happily. She wore a chinese black dress that had a design of a dragon that head started on her chest and the body seemed to wrap about the dress where the tail ended at the end of the dress that comes down to Machi's knees. On her feet she wore the standad ninja footwear.

"Heh?" Naruto was rather confused.

"I see you are confused. I know they may look like some lumberyard fools, but they are not. They are wonderful ninja's who have decided to sacrifice their day today to help you." Kyoki said, smiling at Naruto.

"You meant lumbering, didn't you?" Roku asked.

"Huh?" Kyoki turned to look at her taller student.

"You said we were 'lumberyard fools,' you probably meant to say 'lumbering fools.'" Machi corrected.

"Y-yea. That is what I meant. I don't know anything about being in a lumberyard after hours and trying to steal some wood to make a zombie safe house for when the zombie attack comes. Nope. Not me. I don't know about that." Kyoki said quickly.

"Right... now... if we can please get on with the training." Kakashi told his fellow Jonin.

"Oui!" Kyoki nodded. "How should we do this?"

"Well, since we are near a forest, why don't we let them run off and fight?" Kakashi suggested.

"Good idea. Hidoi! Machi! Roku!"

"..." Hidoi replied.

"We're right here, you don't have to call us..." Roku reminded her.

"Oh... I thought you would have left to go fight already. Anywho, do your best and do not hold back on our dear friend Naruto here. We are helping him save his life from the pain in the asses known as Akatsuki. Now go!"

"Yes, Kyoki-sensei." The three of them said and then rushed off into the woods, as they ran, the three of them discussed plans for their fight with Naruto.

"Naruto, do your best. I know you will win." Kakashi said, smiling at Naruto.

"Sure. I'll win, that's for sure." Naruto said, smiling back.

"All right, now go." Kakashi said, indicating to the forest.

"Yes!" Naruto ran off.

"Kakashi-kun... Yamato-kun is in there... right? You did remember to ask him to keep an eye on Naruto so... you know..." Kyoki asked.

"Yea. He's in there. He's going to be tracking Naruto carefully."

Kyoki sighed in relief. "Good. I know my students are strong... but I don't know how they would fair against Naruto in that state."

"Now that is settled, I think I am going to read my book." Kakashi said, pulling out one of the Icha Icha series books from his pocket.

"Good idea." Kyoki said as she pulled out what looked like an zombie book from her pocket. The two of them walked over to the nearest tree, sat down, their backs leaning against the tree as they both began to read.

The original idea I had for this was just to have it be about Gaara's insomnia, but then ideas began to hit me constantly so I had to extend it to be much more longer than that.

This is another crack fic that I have made, yep. For some reason it's so much easier for me to write crack fics for Naruto than any other series... even Fruits Basket. And I have quite a few crack fics for that series, yes I do.

I had planned for this fanfic to be placed around the time after Gaara gets the Shukaku removed from him, but before before the Niju Shotai team goes to fight Hidan and Kakuzu and I am going to have a mad mob of people after me know for having two big spoilers in one sentence. Oh, just for a future warning, this fanfic may contain MANY spoilers. So if you do not wish to be spoiled, do not read. Anywho, I may forget this and mention things that happen later on in the series, and if I do, then I apologize for that. Oh, and if you do not like spoilers, then I would advise you not read this since you will probably read some. Sorry.

Ah... is that all? I think that was all... I could be wrong though, but on well. I hope you all enjoy this and I'll try to write as much as I can and try to finish it some time... I have a bad habit of starting a fanfic and not ending it... at least not in a short period of time.

So this is part one of the fanfic and it is called 'Gaara's Insomnia'... And it's also the name of the first chapter. I couldn't think of a beter name... so yea...

Please R&R...
