'I don't really care what happens to me or my family… They are just pawns in my chess game… They are too happy, too cheerful for me.'

'This is what Uchiha, Itachi was thinking right before he allegedly murdered his clan. Although many people have said otherwise, this is a well documented fact that, him, Uchiha Itachi, has confessed in many of his interviews that I have conducted.'

I crumple up the newspaper I am reading and throw it in the trash. I hate, no, despise, that man…

"Uchiha Itachi!!!" I spit out with as much disgust as I can muster.

"Sasuke….? Are you all right…?" My roommate, Naruto asks.

"Yes I am fine…" I don't feel like expressing my true feelings of my own brother, Itachi, going on a murder rampage and killing my whole clan, my own parents… and to top it off, blaming it on me. See, my family has this, trait; that allows us to make highly realistic illusions. So, after Itachi left the scene, and the police had arrived, he used the trait to make the police officers (they are so very dumb, they can also be bribed with a Ð50.00 gift card to Duncan Doughnuts….) So after Itachi left, I sat where I had been all this time, all throughout the massacre, and I waited, waited for someone to pick me up so I could have a loving home, instead, I got stuck in a room that already had someone living in it. Room 201, with Uzumaki Naruto, the big-mouthed-never-shuts-up- maniac that got stuck in here because he had a Dæmon inside of him, The Nine Tailed Fox… I have read about that somewhere, but I can't remember…

The doctors make me take medication, it is supposed to help with my "situation" some would call it. Naruto has to take medication also, but these are supposed to help tame and forbear it from ever coming out. Naruto says that if the Nine Tailed Fox were to ever be exposed, that devastation would rain the city as he demolishes all that he loves, that no one could stand in his way, that the Nine Tailed Fox was the most powerful out of all of them…

What puzzles me most, is how Subaku no Gaara (Gaara of the Sand) and Naruto get along so well… Could Gaara have a Dæmon inside of him as well? Could Gaara have the Eight Tailed Dæmon?

"Ummm, Naruto…?"

"Yes Sasy-kun…?" I growl… that is his nickname for me… I hate it.

"Why do you and Gaara get along so well…?" I just had to ask, my mind could not wrap around that I knew 2 of the 9 Dæmons that infested this world, but I have to admit, you got to love the difference in nature they have… Naruto being happy and cheery, with ocean blue eyes… and Gaara being grievous and cold with piercing aqua blue eyes.

They are both hot… wow, when did I start thinking like this…?

"Sasy…? Why are you blushing? And were you listening to anything I said…?"

"Oh… Ummm, no reason, and I am sorry, I wasn't…" I had a frown on my face, the only emotion he ever gets out of me, either anger, annoyance, or calm.

"It's OK!!!" he did that happy face I love… What the hell did I just think??!!!

"OK, Gaara and I both get along so well because he has the One-Tailed Shukaku sealed inside him and I have the Nine-Tailed Fox inside of me. Also, he way everyone treated us during our childhood, the only difference is the way we dealt with the pain… Gaara started cutting, and I started therapy…" Naruto did an anomalous noise that gave me a high feeling that I love.

"Oh… hey, Naruto…?" I want to tell him my feelings about him, before it was too late…

"Ummm, I….. Kind…of…. L….like you…." I was blushing; I could feel my face heat up.

He blushes an abysmal red; it was kind of cute… in a way.

"I like you too Sasuke! That's why I gave you the nickname…" At least he wasn't doing that thing Piñata does with his hands.

"So… are we together now…?" I have been meaning to ask this question ever since he said he has the same affection for me that I have for him.

"Of course!!!" he did the face with his eyes in an ^ formation, damn! That got me hot!

"You can tell Gaara if you want…" Of course that's what he wants! He is practically brothers with the guy.

"YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That one remark made my heart flutter, I was happy that he really wants to tell him, because if he didn't, that would make my heart dispirited.

"Do you want me to be with you when you bring the news…?" I just can't help asking because, some people, like Sakura, would want their lover [Ion] by their side when they tell people.

"SURE!!" He yells, for some odd reason, it isn't getting on my nerves like usual.

"Come on! Let's go tell Gaara!" I reply, grabbing his hand for extra measure, Naruto blushes again; I smile, for the first time in over three years.

"You smiled!!!!" he gasps, I could feel blood rush south, so I begin to walk, hoping it will go away.

"Come on; before I turn 30 please…" I joke; I can tell Naruto revels in all of these new found emotions he is getting out of me.

"OK, let's get Gaara!!!" he says in a not-quite-yell.

We walk out of the room and towards Gaara's, when doctors push pass by us, running ahead holding those charger things, Naruto gasps and starts running also, I run after him, trying to catch up, he seems to go twice as fast as I am going, but I know that isn't true.

"Naruto!!!" I scream, but he doesn't listen, he stops abruptly in front of the same room the doctors are in, they are desperately trying to revive Gaara, his small bleak frame losing color slowly, but surely, for the next two minutes all I hear is, "CLEAR!" and then Gaara's body jumps a few inches, and then goes back down.

"Naruto… I'm so sorry…" I see the tears streaming down his face, and I can't help but have a few coming to my eyes, I will them away at first, but to show my support I let them fall.

"GAARA!!! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME WAKE UP!!!!!" he shouts to Gaara, he runs inside the room, I follow, he pushes the doctor's aside and grabs Gaara's hand.

"Kid, he's gone, don't make this any harder than it has to be…" one of the doctors' tells him.

"One more time, please?" he begs the doctor.

"Fine… but it isn't gonna make a difference, just so you know." He sighs and shouts "CLEAR!!!" Gaara's body jumps a few inches and then goes down again, we hear beeping and know he is back.

"Damn, kid! You did it!!" he says in awe.

"Naruto… he's back!" I put my arms around him, he continues to hold Gaara's hand, which makes me jealous at first but I understand.

"Shh, he's back, he's back…" I coo in his ear, gently threading my fingers through his hair and kissing the back of his head.

"Why—Why'd he do this…?!" Naruto asks me, unfortunately I don't have an answer…

"Maybe it wasn't his fault, maybe it was, we don't know, but once he wakes up, we can ask him. But don't push too hard, Nauru-kun, we don't want him to go back on us." I continue to hold him, I can tell he is calming down, I can feel his heartbeat slowing to its normal pace.

"Why don't we grab a chair and sit?" I offer.

"Sure, whatever…" he seems so depressed, which I have never seen Naruto as, so I decide to try to cheer him up.

"Christmas is coming up in a month…" I remind him.

"So?" he says carelessly.

"So, maybe we can celebrate it with Gaara… I will let you use a pre-paid credit card…" I let on.

"Whatever…" he replies.

"Remember Halloween?" I ask him.

"Yea… What about it?" he mumbles.

"Remember you, Gaara and I went trick-or-treating…?" I inquire.

"Yea…"

"Remember after when you brought Gaara to our room to trade candy…?"

"Jealous…?"

"No, but remember Gaara got this idea to stuff handy down my throat…?" my right eye twitches a little but stops.

"Yea!! That was HILARIOUS!!!!" he laughs.

My right eye twitches, but then I smile at him, I love it when he laughs.

"Look…" I point to Gaara, whose eyes are starting to open, "he's awakening…"

"GAARA!!!!" he yells and jumps on top of the awakening teen, what happens next is even funnier.

"Naru-Naruto…" Gaara gasp, I am laughing so hard that I almost can't hear him, "Need… air…"

Naruto immediately jumps off of him and starts doing the Heim-loch maneuver on him.

"What the FUCK, Naruto????????!!!" Gaara shouts, I start grabbing my sides because they are starting to hurt.

"What? Wrong thing to do…?" Naruto asks innocently, which can make anyone's heart melt, but Gaara isn't normal, is he?

"No, you are supposed to do CPR if they need air." Gaara sighs, which probably means that he forgives Naruto.

"Oh…" Naruto looks down at his feet, a pout traces his face.

"Aww! Don't pout!" I hug him from behind, which probably looks strange to Gaara because his invisible eye brows go up.

"Oh, yea!!!!!!! Sasuke and I are together!" Naruto happily says.

My right eye twitches and Gaara must have seen because he chuckles, I smirk and kiss Naruto on the neck three times, biting the second time to make a mark, Naruto yelps and I start to massage his sides, he calms down, but his heart starts racing.

"Ummm, Sasuke? What are you doing…?" Naruto asks me, I don't answer, I am staring at Gaara the whole time, I continue my barrage on Naruto, Gaara sits down, but not before I see the bulge in his pants. His hands start to tremble slightly, probably to try to stop the urge to touch himself, so he starts massaging his thighs as a substitute.
