Gaara sat under a tree eating a lunch of ramen (courtesy of Naruto) and tea (provided by Lee). His red hair was pulled back out of his face so he could eat and not get food in his face. His green eyes still held the pain of losing his sister.

He sighed again sensing more than him watching his food. "Whoever you are appear and I will share." He called not knowing exactly where he was.

"Food," a voice groaned as an orange haired boy a year or two older jumped down. "Give me it all."

"Nope," Gaara said without looking up at who it was.

"Who do you think you are!?!"

"I'm Gaara," he shrugged.

"Gaara, I'm Pein. Now give me the food," the now named Pein said sitting beside him. He could hear the boy's stomach growling loudly.

"Why are you starving Mr. Pein?" He asked offering a bite.

Pein seemed to be thinking as he took the bite without taking the chopsticks. He didn't care any for the new boy but cared more that if he starved to death than it would be his fault for not sharing. He sighed giving Pein the box of ramen and standing.

"Bye Pein," he headed off towards the Sand Village. Pein knocked Gaara to the ground and tied him up.

"Nope coming with me," Pein said throwing Gaara over his shoulder. "You have to cook for us now."

"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK!!" Gaara yelled struggling scared.

"Oh well learn fast," Pein shrugged holding the younger boy tightly.

Pein tossed Gaara onto his bed walking over to his closet to find more appropriate clothes for him. Pein began with size then color then design.

After a half hour Pein stepped back holding a fishnet shirt up and a pair of leather pants that were red. Pein sighed nodding to himself as he grabbed one of his spare coats.

"Well are you going to try and run away Gaara?" Pein asked touching Gaara's legs and Gaara couldn't think straight from the sparks of heat now boiling in his normally frozen blood.

"Run?" Gaara shook his head. "No point."

Pein watched the young boy's sad eyes and Pein growled out trying to contain his anger that rarely boils up this fast. "Tell me who has hurt you." He untied Gaara gently rubbing the burn marks.

"No one," he sighed moving his hands away from Pein. Pein hurt worse watching how torn the young one was from attention.

"Tell me. They will pay for hurting you," Pein growled trying to get some idea who hurt his newest member.

"It was just my village and the leaf village except for my siblings and Naruto." Gaara sighed looking into Pein's eyes and say the need to let him get the revenge. "My father hated me all his life."

That was it for Pein. Pein left giving orders to Deidara to watch Gaara while he was out destroying some lives. Deidara walked in watching as the newbie changed into some of Pein's old clothes with a smile. He could see why leader had been drawn to the young boy.

"Hi there," Deidara said catching Gaara off guard and Gaara fell over the bed with the pants half way up his legs.

"Where did Pein go?"

"Leader is on a mission right now. I get to babysit you."

"What's your name?" Gaara finished with the pants standing back up.

"Deidara."

"Thank you," Gaara sighed looking at the really weird idea of a cloak. He set it aside.

"Wear it. Leader is fond of you already."

"I will if need be."
