Konoha Academy's Worst Nightmare

Chapter 1: Preparing for Spring Break

It has been exactly one year since Gaara started attending Konoha Academy. Since then, a lot of good has happened to him. He joined a band as a vocalist and guitarist, won Battle of the Bands, and he got what he thought was the most amazing girlfriend anyone could ask for who was pregnant with twin kids. However, there was something that still bothered him since Christmas.

On Christmas day, his mind flashed an image of a substitute teacher that was here previously, Itachi. He knew very little of the man except he stopped having Shukaku nightmares and there was some other events that seemed fictional. It felt as though he remembered them over something else that actually happened. However during band practice, nothing bothered him.

His band mates became his closest friends, the ones he trusted more than anything else. Naruto, Kiba, and Shikamaru practically became family to him. As he played his PRS Mira through his Marshall JCM 900 amp with those three guys, nothing else mattered.

"This song is going to be sweet!" Naruto said as the song ended standing with his Peavey Cirrus 5 string bass. "Can't wait to play it in front of the school for the Spring Break concert!" He always loved performing in front of people.

Gaara had to admit he was excited for the new sound they will be introducing to the school. They've always been experimenting on what style of music they could play, but it seems that now they have the bands chemistry figured out.

"Yeah, it's going to be sweet!" Kiba said turning down the volume on his new, Tobacco Sunburst colored PRS SE Custom 24. Gaara remembered that Kiba came back from Christmas break with it and it became his main guitar. He also got a new amp, a Mesa/Boogie Electra Dyne amp. He ended up using both his amps now. "Now that we do both a cover and an original song."

Since two bands ended because a member graduated, it was now down to their band, Leaves in the Sand and their rival band, which changed to being called, the Sound Nins due to some member changes. Little has been known why the changes happened, but Dosu, Zaku, and Kin are no longer in the band. But, due to these changes, the dean, Tsunade decided to make the Spring Break concert more than just the bands doing one cover and ending it there. She changed it to each band performing a cover, then an original.

"By the way, Kiba." Gaara said getting his co-guitarist attention. "Where did you come up with the idea for these lyrics?" Gaara had to ask because it was a darker song than what Kiba normally wrote when he did write a song.

"Ino inspired me to write it." Kiba admitted. "She's recently had some issues with her family." He didn't want to share nearly as much as his girlfriend shared with him concerning the matter. "She wanted someone to play the song to express her feelings since Sunshine Fan broke up."

None of them had any idea about Ino's family issues. She didn't share much about her family life at home.

"Anyways…" Shikamaru said sitting at his drum kit. That is something that never changed for him. "Is everything set for our Spring Break plans?" Shikamaru wanted to change the subject, and to know if everything was finalized before spring break started.

"Yeah, Hinata's dad still wants us all at his place for Spring Break." Gaara said remembering what Hinata's father, Hiashi wanted out of this experience. "And Shikamaru, Temari will be there." He was sure he wanted his friend to know that she would be there. She may be Gaara's sister, but she was also Shikamaru's girlfriend.

Shikamaru just smiled at his answer. "By the way, where is Hinata?" Shikamaru had to ask because she was always at there practice.

"She has speech therapy with Anko-sensei today until tonight." Gaara said smiling just thinking about the girl he loves. "She's been working on her stutter." He didn't mind her stutter, but she wanted to be able to talk to her children with no problem, so Anko agreed to help her, because she teaches voice therapy.

"Oh, wait!" Naruto shouted getting everyone's attention. "We haven't worked on our cover song!" They were all working so hard on the original that they forgot to work on a cover. They were even assigned a genre this time.

"Oh, you're right." Kiba said turning up the volume on his guitar. "What genre is it again?"

"Pop," Shikamaru said spinning his drumsticks. "Tsunade wants everyone to get out of their comfort zones."

"Then lets get started." Gaara said beginning to strum his guitar. "I even have a song in mind."

That night, Gaara had a bizarre dream. Everything that seemed like it was fantasy that happened flashed through his mind, followed by more realistic events.

Saving Sakura from Itachi… She really tripped in the rain on the way to seeing Naruto. Gaara was walking home from class when he saw her and helped her. That is what really happened. Itachi wasn't even there.

Sasuke's injuries, Naruto pushed him out of a second floor window after he found out Sasuke tripped Gaara down the stairs. There was no supernatural powers from Naruto or any major damage to the school property.

The night with Itachi and the other from the Akatsuki, Gaara got food poisoning and fainted due to its effect. Naruto spent the night at the nurse's office to make sure he was getting better. There was no fighting or anyone getting knocked out.

The last event, Gaara hurting his arm… He found out Hinata had previous feelings for Naruto and got defensive. They had a fight and Gaara got his arm stuck in a lamp cord. He damaged a ten dent in his arm trying to get it out and ended up beating up Naruto even after. Kakashi found them both and took them to the Nurse's emergency treatment center. They ended up making up later and went back to being best friends.

Gaara woke up with his memory back to a realistic mindset. He forgot all about the events that were false and his real memories came to him. What happened exactly? Why did he have false memories to begin with? Nothing seemed to have made sense to him. Regardless, he needed the time to think. So, without waking Hinata, he got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom and into the living room. As he entered, he opened a nearby window to let some fresh air into the room and he just stood in front of the window looking out with the same questions in his mind. Whatever happened, it was over. But, why did it even happen and not only that, but why did it affect everyone?

"Gaara?" He turned to the soft voice that called for him. That voice was Hinata's; she was six months pregnant and the bump on the stomach made it obvious. "What's wrong?"

He just smiled at her and held out his arm out towards. "Nothing, just had something on my mind recently." He said as she walked towards him and allowed him to wrap his arms around her. "I thought you were sound asleep."

"I was," She said looking at him. "Until the kids kicked and I woke up and found the other side of the bed empty." She hasn't slept well during the pregnancy, but it was understandable. She was carrying two unborn children at this time.

"Sorry to make you worry." He said smiling as he embraced her. "By the way, remember when I hurt my arm?" He had to ask her to make sure he wasn't just going crazy.

"Yeah, it was the only fight you had with Naruto." Hinata said recounting her own memory. "It wasn't a very good time for you guys."

Gaara was right; everyone's regular memories of events were coming back to everyone else. "Yeah, don't worry. Something like that won't happen again."

"Good to know." She said leaving his arms. "Come on back to bed, honey." She said walking back towards their bedroom.

"I'll be there in a minute." He said smiling at her. "I love you."

"I love you too." And with that, Hinata walked back into the dark room and was back in bed. Gaara was rather impressed that her stutter was nearly gone now, but that didn't matter to him. Every time he saw her, it just reminded him that he couldn't live without her.

He had only one thing he still needed to figure out. Where did the false memories come from? And why did their memories change back this recently. That will be a mystery for quit some time in his mind, but he was determined to find out the truth behind these events.

End of Chapter 1

Author's note: I'm not sure how many people even care about this story still, because it's been like three years since I finished the second one. So this was a basic recap, didn't explain everything and even though the first two were poorly written they do explain thing. So if this is new to you, read the first two, despite them being poorly written. I am debating going back and rewriting them, if you want that to happen, let me know in the reviews.
