Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, If I did I could've gotten the new Naruto bag pack days ago. (But have to wait another week!;; Grr!)
Summary: Gaara and Naruto are orphans and slaves with extra ordinary beasts within them. They grow up in the cells of 'Sound' not having anybody in the world to care for them except for each other.
A rich business man buys them as his 'pets' but has especial feelings for the blonde haired one named Naruto. Gaara isn't willing to just leave Naruto with this man and tries to buy their freedom but at what price? GaaxNaru & KakaxNaru. I might throw in some random pairings as the story progresses! ^^
Chapter 1: The Auction.
Naruto and his best friend Gaara lay in the cold metal cell littered with dying homeless children and teenagers. The red head known as Gaara looked to his side to see his best and only true friend lying peacefully in his arms. His mind drifted to how everything started up to this moment, this moment where everything him and the blonde had become, the bond that they had formed, all of it could be brutally ripped away from him and he would be powerless in preventing it from happening.
Since Gaara could remember he had always been in Sound, living his life on autopilot not caring about anything and anyone, he surely would have died a lonely death if it wasn't for that day when a certain blonde boy was brought to the cold cells of Sound and introduced to the life of a slave child.
Naruto was five years of age, two years younger than the red head. Gaara not wanting any trouble tried to keep his distance from the blonde, but the fool was just too persistent, he followed Gaara everywhere claiming that he saw loneliness in those teal eyes and would do anything to become Gaara's friend if the read head wanted him to or not! Gaara had tried his best to ignore the blonde's existence, he would not allow himself to become close to anyone because they would all be separated eventually when the dreadful day came when they would be sold to the highest bidders in the most prestigious slave auction. Though he was young, he already knew what kind of building he was residing in, he knew how nose things worked for the better or the owner and this guards and Gaara hated every moment of it. His mind drifted to two years after the blonde had set foot in the metal and cold cells of Sound. Both males were in the same situation as when the blonde had first tried to have a conversation with the stoic red head. Utter Silence. Their relationship hadn't progressed much from there which still consisted of the blonde following Gaara everywhere he went, not caring about the looks that he received from the other slave children and teenagers.
Everything changed though a year after that when Gaara was surprised to see the blonde wasn't following him like usual, it was weird but the persistent blonde even followed him to the toilets if you could even call those vile disgusting boxes toilets. For some strange and unknown reason the red head had decided to go and look for the blonde; he had a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that told him something was wrong with the only person who had ever tried to become close to him. He knew his way around the freezing metallic corridors well and embarked himself on a mission to look for the blonde. Searching around every corner or room including the kitchen which was strictly of limits, Gaara tried to find the blonde; his attempts ending in vein. He slumped down on the wall wondering if there was any place he subconsciously forgot when he was desperately trying to look for the loud mouthed boy. All of a sudden he heard someone struggling and screaming from the corridor ahead, walking down; he found the blonde boy being strangled by one of their guards who he guessed also passed as a care taker as the people sometimes brought them new clothing; not that it mattered though, the new clothes were never better than the old ones. He watched the young boy struggling in the grip of the man when he noticed that said man wasn't trying to strangle him but forcefully rape him. The big looking guard forced his tongue into the blonde's mouth punching him hard when Naruto bit his tongue. Gaara stood stunned for a minute watching not knowing what he could do to save the blonde boy, he was only ten years old and this man looked at least about quadruple his size. Without any further thinking, the redhead stepped out of his hidden corner and charged at the man punching him in his groin. Yelping in pain, the guard hauled Naruto against the wall letting him drop down half conscious. Allowing the pain in his groin to subside, the guard proceeded to stalk towards Gaara who was desperately trying to help the blonde to his feet so that they could get the hell away from there. He tried to pry the blonde from the redhead when Gaara felt something inside him snap.
'So this is the Kyuubi brat. Don't worry, I can tell you like him to some extent, so I won't let this worthless man harm him.' A weird, animalistic and unfamiliar voice said within his self sub consciousness. Gaara looked around making sure that no one was there when the voice spoke again.
'I'm your sub conscious mind. I'll explain later, I'll take care of this menace first' the voice said amusedly before he took over Gaara's body sending the red headed boy into a pit of darkness and despair.
Gaara awoke to find himself in Naruto's warm hands covered in blood. He gasped as he jolted himself out of the blonde's grasp his body shaking violently with fear and disbelief.
"What happened?" He questioned horrified as he stared at the dead body that lay slumped and lifeless against the wall.
"You killed him." The blonde stated the obvious as he came closer to Gaara putting his arms around him.
"I-I k-ki-killed h-him?" The red head asked in disbelief, no way was a little kid as himself able to kill a man of that physique.
"Yeah you did-" Naruto whispered into his ear as a way to comfort the trembling red head.
"It turns out you have a tailed beast inside you too. Kyuubi told me that yours is called the One Tailed Beast, Shukaku the Racoon of the Desert! Mine is the nine tails as I've already said named Kyuubi and he's a fox!" Naruto said into the redhead's ear allowing the boy to soak up the new information.
"But let's leave here before someone discovers him." The blonde continued as they started running away from the scene. They'd managed to get Gaara ragged clothes lying saying he was raped and his other clothes got covered in blood. The guards had just laughed and tossed him a dirty brown short and shirt to put on.
Since that day, their relationship had progressed dramatically, Naruto told the red head all about the tailed beast that he had learned from Kyuubi but didn't tell him how to control them as he himself did not have the information. They stole fruits and other little food supplies from the kitchen for each other not wanting to eat any of the processed gruel that was fed to them. It was unethical to give even slaves the kind of food they were forced to consume every day.
A couple of years had passed since the incident with the guards; Naruto is now seventeen years of age and Gaara nineteen.
Naruto woke up in Gaara's arms smiling as he looked into the teal eyes that looked down protectively at him. He knew they shouldn't be smiling because today was the day when they could be brutally ripped away from each other. Today was the day they would be sold to the highest bidders.
According to all the information they'd gathered since they were residing in this accursed place, they had found out that Sound was a town that welcomed gangsters and thugs and prostitutes and slaves.
"Hey Naruto, what ever happens today, just know that I'll escape from who ever buys me and come find you someday!" Gaara said as he placed a small kiss on the smiling blonde's forehead.
"Promise?" Naruto looked up at him with determination. He knew Gaara always kept a promise no matter how big or small for that matter. They would definitely see each other again.
"Promise!" With that said, they kissed and hoped that someone descent bought them in the auction that was to take place in the evening.
Elsewhere, a rich business man walked out of his private company, silver hair blowing in the wind momentarily before an elegant chauffeur dressed in black opened the sleek black limousine door for him to enter.
As the man dreesed in black seated in the driver's seat he looked back at his master.
"Where to mister Hatake?" He asked politely, though he was a former slave, Mr Hatake had bought him and allowed him to be his chauffeur for quite a good salary.
"We're going to Sound Iruka. I think I need some new pets." The man smirked looking knowingly at his chauffeur. Iruka lost his composure for a moment looking disbelieved at the man. Though Mr Hatake treated the people he used for business quite pleasantly, it was a whole different case with his 'pets' Iruka Umino knew from past experience. Sighing he slumped down slightly on his seat starting the engine of the beautiful car before muttering a "Yes Sir!"
It would take them three hours to get to Sound so it would do some good to get there before all the thugs and gangsters came out. It was already six in the evening and he hoped that they would arrive there preferably before nine.
All the children and teenagers in the cells all got new 'revealing clothing' as they had to be put on display for the buyers to find them appealing. The more appealing they were, the more they were worth. Gaara and Naruto were the most prized slaves as they were the most healthy and beautiful amongst all the other slaves. It was no surprise though; as they were the only ones who ate normal food apart from the guards and care takers. Gaara and Naruto always shared a cell because they were most comfortable with each other.
"Gaara, can you please help me tie this boots, they're so difficult to put on!" Naruto whined as he drastically tried to tie the annoying laces of his knee length boots. He was already wearing the tight red leather shorts; you could hardly call them shorts as they only just barely covered his boyhood. A red spiked dog collar was also tied around his neck making him look like the perfect pet; his golden locks falling seductively over his big innocent and warm sapphire eyes. Gaara took in his friend's appearance and smirked walking over to his childish friend to help him put on his boots after h had completely put on his out fit which looked similar to Naruto's except for the colour. His leather shorts were black and his boots were red while Naruto's were the other way round. They both had red coloured spiked collars adorning their beautiful slim long necks.
"You look yummy Naruto, I just hope no one can afford us again, even though this place is hell, I'd rather stay in hell with you than in heaven without you." He smiled kissing his friend on the lips before grabbing the boot and placing it on his friend slender legs tying each individual lace. Naruto smiled at his friend's behaviour, things sure had changed since he first met the red head.
They finished putting on their costumes and sat at the corner of the cell, gently embracing and caressing each other lost in their own private little world.
A guard with dull grey hair, stood before their cell knocking it with a metal bat snapping both males out of their own little universe.
"Hurry your asses up, it is time to be put on display!" The guard both males knew as Kabuto hissed at them urging them to hurry up. They did as he was told as this guard was the favourite of the owner, an evil snake of a man called Orochimaru who cared about nothing but money.

The auction progressed without any disturbances which was quite rare for Sound, Naruto and Gaara watched as cell mate after cell mate walked away with their new masters. It would soon be their turn, they were always the last slaves to be sold as it went from ugly unhealthy slaves to the healthiest and most beautiful. They watched their other only friend Haku get taken away by a large man. They looked at Haku sympathetically; he was going to be separated from his lover Zabuza. Zabuza was waiting at the door with the man who had just bought him so he could work for him. Zabuza and Haku exchanged looks when Haku started crying, he pulled his arm free from the man who had just bought him and jumped into Zabuza's waiting arms. Zabuza looked pleadingly at the man who had bought him, he had looked descent enough, and Zabuza hoped that he would be nice enough to maybe buy Haku as well so they could be together and wouldn't be apart. Naruto and Gaara watched as the man who bought Zabuza left with both him and Haku. From where they were standing it looked like the man who bought had paid almost double for Haku than what the big man had originally bought him for. Both Haku and Zabuza looked content, as long as they were together, it didn't matter what lay ahead of them.
"They're so lucky." Naruto murmured as he took Gaara's hand into his own.
"Yeah…" The red head muttered under his breath for online Naruto to hear as he tightened the grip he had on the blonde's hand.
"Okay the auction isn't over yet!" They heard Orochimaru say, he only ever presented their sale as they were his most important slaves. "We still have out two most beautiful slaves. As you can see, they're quite healthy with a very good physique. They can withstand anything you make them do." Orochimaru continued smirking at the two males. He was going to make a lot of money tonight and he just couldn't wait.
-
Else where, the rich business man now known as mister Hatake smirked as he neared the auction sale.
"Hurry Up Iruka. I bet almost all the slaves have already gone. I want myself at least a good one!" He smirked as Iruka held the door open for him and he stepped out.
"It's all right Mr Hatake; the best slaves are always preserved to the very last." Iruka told his boss as they entered the building which was still crowded with people hoping to buy the two beautiful males that were displayed to thoroughly on stage. My Hatake smirked when he saw the two beautiful boys on stage just waiting to be writhing under his touch. He especially eyed the delicious looking blonde whose eyes met his for a brief second before he averted his gaze and leaned into the red head for some more assurance that everything would turn out well eventually. 'This should be fun; it looks like they already have an intimate relationship of their own. It will definitely be amusing to break that bond and form a new one with the delicious looking blonde' he thought to himself as he eyes the blue eyed beauty on stage who glanced at him every now and then. 'Though the red head doesn't look half bad, it looks as if I just struck the jackpot.' He continued to muse to himself as the bidding started.
"The bidding starts at fifty thousand dollar for the read head and one hundred thousand dollars for the blonde." Orochimaru smirked, he knew they were going to be bought for a lot more than that because they were by far his best slaves and Haku had gone for almost two hundred thousand and he wasn't even in their league.
"We'll start with the red head." He continued to stop any confusion from taking place. Naruto glued himself to Gaara, he didn't want to see his best friend leave. They were more than best friends but they weren't lovers; they had definitely done what lover's do though, at least as much as was allowed in a hell hole like this anyway without the guards interfering.
"One hundred thousand for the red head." A man shouted. Gaara glared at him and the man shrunk back in his seat not so sure if he could handle someone of that temperament.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Someone else shouted.
"Two hundred thousand!" Mr Hatake just smirked as he watched all the losers still present try and claim what he knew was already his. He was just going to enjoy the show for a little while more and bid the highest possible price when everyone started to get their hopes up.
"Three hundred thousand!" People has stopped caring about the look that the red head was giving them, they would teach him his manners eventually.
"Four hundred thousand!" Orochimaru looked about to explode with all the money that he was going to be receiving at the end of the auction. He was sure that just Gaara and Naruto could earn him more than half of what all the other slaves earned him. A few people grumbled after the last man made his bid. He looked like a stern man. Orange slick hair combed back in a neat pony tail. Gaara gulped, he didn't want to go home with this man.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand for the read head!" A calm woman said. Her eyes were warm and friendly and Gaara wouldn't have minded going with the woman. He hugged Naruto tighter when he saw the Orange haired man back down. This was surely going to be it. Orochimaru looked very content with the amount of money.
"Sold to Miss Temari Sa-" He was required to know the name of his valuable customers. Temari had bought Kankuro from him two years ago for a good sum of money. Kankuro and Gaara were like brothers so he figured the woman was here for Kankuro. Everyone stopped and took in a sharp intake of breath when a silky smooth voice spoke above everyone else's chattering.
"Five million dollars for the blonde and his red headed friend; Cash!" Mr Hatake said smirking at Orochimaru who looked about ready to faint. He did not expect this much money. Of course Hatake Kakashi current leader of 'Konoha's White Fang Company' has paid insane amount sums of money for his slaves but this was the most anyone had ever paid. No one dared bid higher than Konoha's White Fang as he walked closer to the stage away from the door, Iruka trailing behind him with a big black bad. That's why they hadn't arrived till eleven pm because Kakashi had gone to his home to collect a vast some of money from his safe.
Iruka threw the bag at Orochimaru.
"There's six million in there so please allow us to take them Orochimaru sir." Iruka said out of old habit. Even though he had not been a slave for almost two decades, he didn't quite lose his old habits of calling the man 'sir' anytime he acknowledged his presence.
Gaara and Naruto stared at each other and then back at the silver haired man who had just bought them! It finally registered in their brains that they were not going to be separated after all. Ignoring everyone else's presence in the room, the two shared a deep and passionate kiss. Mr Hatake just smirked at the display before walking up to them, Iruka following closely behind.
"Thank you for buying us Mr. uum…" Naruto was the one first to speak up as he and Gaara pulled apart blushing when they saw him standing so close. Well Naruto blushed. Gaara's blushes are only for Naruto eyes to see.
"Hatake, Hatake Kakashi, but you can call me master unless I say otherwise, then you can call me Kakashi." He said smirking at the blonde. His smirk grew louder when he heard Gaara's possessive growl.
"Sorry master. Thank you for buying us." Naruto corrected himself rubbing his thumb on Gaara's hand as their fingers were still intertwined trying to clam the red head down.
"That sound better now doesn't it? Now what are your names?" He asked looking expectantly at Naruto knowing that the red head wasn't going to say anything. Well he was proving wrong when Gaara was the one to open his mouth.
"He is Uzumaki Naruto" He said pointing at Naruto with their intertwined hand for emphasis. He voice then lowered considerably to a deathly tone when he carried on. "And I'm Subaku no Gaara, Naruto's body guard. I'll protect him with my life." Kakashi's smirk just grew as he watched the boy's possessive display. 'This is definitely going to the interesting' he mused to himself as he shook their hands.
"This is Umino Iruka, he's my chauffeur!" Iruka shook their hands politely before standing rightfully behind his boss.
They started walking towards the door and he gestured for both males to follow him which they did. The least they could do for someone who kept them together would be to at least remain obedient.
Their eyes nearly bulged out when they saw the slick limousine parked outside Iruka standing ready with the doors open waiting for them to enter.
"Thanks Iruka." Kakashi said as he entered and so did both boys. The drive to Kakashi's beautiful mansion was silent as no one felt the need to exchange any words. Gaara and Naruto had their own little conversation with their body as they held each other's hand and looked into each other's eyes silently saying everything would be okay.
"Wow this place is huge and so warm." Naruto said as he stared at the mansion in awe as they entered the large and spacious building. He immediately released Gaara's hand and ran into the first room he saw which happened to be the living room.
"He sure gets excited isn't he?" Kakashi asked looking at the stoic red head who only seemed to show any sign of expression around the blonde.
"Hn." Said red haired replied. He had conflicting emotions about this man. On one hand he looked friendly, but that look in his eyes betrayed any sign of innocence he might possess. They walked into the living room to find Naruto already snoozing tiredly on the plush carpet. His chest moving upwards and downwards automatically with each breath he took. Kakashi stared wondrously; he had brought an angel in sexy leather clothes into his home. His life couldn't possibly get better. He moved closer to the blonde wanting to pick him up when Gaara appeared before him picking Naruto up bridal style.
"It's fine, I'll take him." He muttered as he waited for Kakashi to start walking so he could follow suit.
They walked up beautiful twin spiral sets pf stairs to the second floor. Kakashi opened an expensive looking Oak door and allowed Gaara to enter dropping Naruto gently on the bed.
"We can use the bed right?" He asked as he dropped Naruto soundlessly onto the bed watching the blonde as he snuggled into the warm sheets of the red velvet piece of work he called heaven. This was definitely better than lying in a cold metal cell.
"Of course you can, this is going to be your room. I guess you'll want to stay in the same room. Am I correct?!" He said not really as a question as he already knew the answer. He was proven right as Gaara nodded his head slowly.
"Do you have a change of clothes to sleep in?" Gaara asked politely. He wanted to get out of the uncomfortable leather shorts, they were starting to get annoying and sticky. He watched Kakashi walk towards a big closet and pull out two pairs of sleeping pants and t shirts. They looked big though but right now anything would do.
"Thank you!" He muttered as he took the clothing items from Kakashi's offering hand. The silver haired man started walking towards the door leaving the room leaving Gaara to change Naruto. He was a sadistic bastard when it came to his pets but he would give these two some space for now until the perfect time came. When he was at the door, he stopped and without looking back towards Gaara said:
"We'll go shopping tomorrow for clothes of your fit and see if we can get you into a descent college." Their new master replied smugly as he knew no school would deny any application with his name and signature.
"Thank you master!" Kakashi smirked in victory as he finally walked out closing the beautiful oak door with al the intricate designing behind him. 'This is going to be too easy.'
Gaara stripped himself of his boots, collar and shorts in favour of getting into the warm fresh smelling night clothes Mr Hatake and brought out for them. He was right it really was a big fit. He slowly undressed the blonde and put the night clothes on him too. Crawling into bed and pushing Naruto under the covers, he snuggled the blonde and kissed his forehead. He nudged the blonde slightly gaining a low groan from the sleeping blonde. He nudged Naruto again until his thick black lashed slowly fluttered open. He kissed his eye lids gently before wrapping his arms protectively around the blonde.
"We're safe and together Naruto!" He said, a small smile playing across his lips.
"Yeah and we'll be together forever!" Naruto replied a slight smile on his face too as he looked at his friend.
"Good Night Naruto; Sleep tight!" Gaara said drawing patterned circles lovingly on Naruto's back with his fingers. He knew from experience that that simple gesture always put the blonde's mind at ease allowing him to sleep soundlessly. The blonde yawned lazily and he snuggled closer into Gaara wrapping his arms around the red head's neck.
"G'night Gaara, Sweet dreamssss!" The blonde drawled out as sleep immediately took him; his heart beating steadily against Gaara's. The red head went to bed a smile lightning up his face. Who cared what tomorrow held them, as long as he had these moments with Naruto, he would cherish them with his life. That being the last thought, he fell into a sweet dream where him and Naruto were together forever. Forever lasting eternity and longer.
