Chapter 1

"Hey kids! Get your asses out of bed, NOW!" Yelled their father.

The two oldest ones were up as fast as possible. Gaara, on the other hand, got up slowly. He knew a beating was waiting for him downstairs. He got up and dressed. He walked out of the room hearing his father yelling at Kankurou and Temari. He knew they did something wrong, but they knew their father wouldn't hit them until they came home from school.

Gaara is 16 years old, his brother is 17, and sister is 18. What he didn't get was why Temari didn't move out. Maybe it was because of him and Kankurou living with their father. They had to move from their home town since their, so called, father was wanted for hurting them. Also because their uncle tried to save them from being hurt. Gaara hates that now he doesn't know of anyone to go to if he was thrown out in the cold rain like always.

"GAARA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!" Yelled his father.

"I'm coming father." Gaara walked down and to his father.

"Like I was telling your brother and sister. Tell anyone about me or our past and I'll put all three of you six feet under ground."

"Yes father. I understand." Gaara walks outside with his brother and sister. The whole walk to school is quiet and no one talked.



Gaara looks around after he is near the school. Everyone looks happy and is having fun playing pranks and picking on people. Gaara wishes he could go back to those days, but those days are over and he hates his life now. Ever since his mother was killed when he was two, Gaara, Kankurou and Temari just didn't have a loving, caring family anymore. Their father got into drugs and he even came close once to raping them too. They stopped him before that happened. They ran to their uncle and told him everything. That's when their uncle called the cops. After their father heard about it, he went over and took the kids out of the house, threw them in the car, and drove off. It's been a week since they have seen their uncle. Gaara's cell phone is hidden so his father can't take it away.

All three walked into school and then walked to the office. They went to the front desk and asked for their classes and other stuff.

"Here are your classes and homerooms. I hope you enjoy this school."

Kankurou and Temari went a different way than Gaara. Now the redhead is by himself. Gaara walks down the hallway. The kids are all looking at him like he doesn't belong in the school. Well it is usually the way since gothic is treated differently.

Gaara found his homeroom and walks in takes a seat in the back of the classroom. Gaara put his head down and waited. The bell rang as the rest of his classmates came in and sat in their seats.

"Hey class, we have a new student in our homeroom. His name is Gaara and I want you to treat him well." The teacher then sat down and waits for the homeroom to be over.

Sasuke Uchiha is in the back where Gaara is sitting. "Hey Gaara, where did you come from?" Sasuke looked at the kid after he didn't answer. He saw that Gaara had his head down and his book bag on the ground. "Hey Gaara, what classes do you have after this?" Sasuke smiled as the redhead looked up.

"Here…look for yourself." Gaara kept a eye on the dark hair boy. He felt like he could trust him, but then again maybe he couldn't.

"You have the same classes as me. If you need any help I can help you." Sasuke hands back the paper and looks at the clock. The bell rings and the students get up and go to their next class.

Gaara slowly walks out of the classroom and into the hall crowded with people. He wants to stay away from people and the boy that is trying to help him. He knows that if he talked his father would beat him to nothing. Gaara finds his next class and goes in. He sits in a desk in the back and looks around. He sees the dark haired boy in the front of the class. He watches Sasuke laugh and joke with his friends and it makes him smile, but soon after that, he could feel himself ready to pass out.

He slowly gets up and takes his things with him. "May I leave the classroom?"

"Sure you can, but come back soon." The teacher smiled at him.

Gaara didn't look at the teacher. He holds onto his book bag and walks out of the classroom. He finds the nearest boy's bathroom and walks in. He looks in all the stalls to see that if it was safe, which it is. He then goes to the biggest one and unlocked the door. He puts his book bag on the floor and lays in the corner of the big stall. The pain begins to work its way to Gaara's chest making it hard to breath. Gaara falls over on to the floor and can't move. The pain was too much for him and he can't stay awake. So as soon as his eyes close, Gaara was out.

Meanwhile, Sasuke saw that Gaara had left. He looks at the clock and notices that it has been ten minutes since Gaara left. Sasuke waits for about another a minute then gets up. "Hey teacher, may I leave to classroom?"

"Yes you may Sasuke."

Sasuke grabs his things and walks out of the classroom. He then runs down the hall and finds the bathroom that Gaara might have gone in. He slowly opens the door and looks in every stall. Once he got to the last one, he found out where Gaara is.

"Gaara, unlock the stall. It's me Sasuke." Sasuke waited for an answer, but it never came. He looks in the crack and sees that Gaara was laying on the floor passed out. "Gaara…wake up!" He still didn't move.

Sasuke goes underneath the door to reach Gaara. He checks to see if the boy is breathing and then he knew it was safe to move him. Sasuke unlocks the door and grabs Gaara's book bag and carries Gaara to the nurse's office.

"Hi Sasuke, I haven't seen you in a while. Is your brother treating you better now?"

"Yes he is, but I'm not here to talk. I found my new friend Gaara passed out on the bathroom floor. I think there is something wrong with him. I need to help him." Sasuke laid the redhead on the bed and sat on a chair next to the bed.

"I see." The nurse started to slowly pull up Gaara's shirt until she sees the black and blue marks and even cuts on the small boy's body. "Oh dear, this poor kid is being beaten and hurt at home."

Sasuke jumps to his feet and looks at Gaara's body. It was true and it worries Sasuke. "Are you going to tell anyone about this? I mean he might get beat worse if the person that's doing this to him finds out." Sasuke was afraid for Gaara and wants for his safety.

"I'll do what I can to stop the pain and wrap up the wounds and that, but I'm going to wait until he tells me about who ever is doing this to him. Remember last year with Itachi. I waited until you told me your whole past and what was happening to you and that. I'm waiting to see what the boy does. I'm not even calling his father about this." The nurse walks out after wrapping 

Gaara up and lets Sasuke stay with the kid as she calls the teachers to let them know the kids won't be in class at all today. The teachers understand and hang up.

Sasuke lays his head down on the bed where Gaara is. He knew that if he fell asleep the day would go faster.

After about half the school day went by, Gaara started to wake up and he knew that his shirt was off him and his chest was wrapped up. He sits up to feel that the bandage is stopping the pain. He then looks at Sasuke, who was asleep next to him.

"It's nice to see that you are awake. He is worried about you and thought you wouldn't wake up like he did." The nurse walked over to him and Sasuke and sat on the other side of the bed. "I didn't tell your family you were here. Sasuke and I aren't going to ask you anything about what is going on at home. Also why you have all those marks and cuts on you. But if I was you at least thank Sasuke for helping you and bringing you here. He knows what it is like to be hurt like you, but Sasuke is better now since he told someone about it."

Gaara looks at her wide eyes. "I can't tell you or anyone. Father will get mad and we try not to make him mad." Gaara looked at Sasuke. "But thank you both for helping me. I mean my chest and stomach feel a lot better now and I can breathe again." Gaara smiled a little but then lays back down since he hurt really bad.

"You should just rest for the rest of the day. The teachers know that you won't be in class since you aren't feeling well and that Sasuke is staying with you. Well I need to do some paper work. Just lie down and take it easy. I'll let your brother and sister know you're down here, okay?"

"Yeah, thank you again." Gaara looks out the window. People seem so nice. They never hurt or tell secrets about each other. It makes Gaara feel like he was still with his uncle in Suna. How he is here and people are as nice as back home, but he knows that his father would ruin it like always. Soon the bell rang for school to be over.

Sasuke wakes up and looks at Gaara. "Hey redhead, it's time to go. If I were you I'd get your shirt on and find your brother and sister and I'll take you three home. I don't want you to walk home in pain." Sasuke smiled sweetly at the redhead in front of him.

"Thank you Sasuke. I'm glad you helped me." Gaara smiled a little, but then gets out of bed and dressed. He and Sasuke walk out of the nurse's office and fond Gaara's brother and sister. They were happy to see Gaara.

"If you three want, I can take you home. I think it would be better so Gaara doesn't get in pain again. I found him on the bathroom floor out cold, but don't worry, he's fine now." Sasuke smiled as they walk to his car.

As they were driving to the house, Sasuke heard Kankaro and Temari talking about what their father would do if he sees them riding in a car with some guy. Sasuke then looked over at Gaara 

and sees that the redhead is leaning against the door. He didn't say anything to him and, when he pulls up to the sidewalk in front of Gaara's house, Sasuke leans over to wake him up. "I'm sorry for waking you, but we're in front of your house now."

Gaara smiles a little and gets out. "Thanks for the ride home Sasuke. I'll see you tomorrow." Gaara walks to the other side of the car and stood with his brother and sister. Sasuke hated to leave them, but he knew that he had to.

After Sasuke was gone, the three looked at each other and slowly walk into the house.

"Father, we're home." Temari calls out.

"Yeah Temari and I have homework to do, so we'll be in our rooms working on that." Said Kankaro.

"I'm going to my room Father. I'm not feeling well today. Don't worry, no one knows about you. We all kept our mouth shut so please spare us tonight?" Gaara asked.

Their father stepped out from the darkness. "You asked so nicely, Gaara, but you should know that answer."

"Please father, I'm begging you. Please spare us for one night, and then you can do anything you want to us after tonight." Gaara had his head down.

"Fine, but one question. Who was the person who drove you home?" Their father asked.

"He is just a friend. Don't worry he knows nothing about what happens in this house." Gaara said flat out.

"That's a good boy Gaara. I won't have to beat you tonight, but you three better get in your rooms now before I do." He watches as the kids run up the steps and into their rooms. He laughs at the sight.

Gaara lays in his bed thinking about what the nurse had said to him. He understand that Sasuke was in the same trouble that he is in now, but Gaara could never get enough guts to do what Sasuke did. He found out the hard way what happens when you tell about what goes on in his house. He didn't want Sasuke to get hurt because of him. He knows that he loves Sasuke, but he could never tell the boy. Gaara then closed his eye and went to sleep, knowing what the next day will bring him.
