A/N: Okay peoplez... i got another naruto fan fic! WOOH! Best one yet.. I must say...

Gaara's POV

I hated him. I hated him with all my might. I despised him! Shukaku wanted to kill him and so did I! Sasuke always kept him for himself. Naruto was clueless. I bet that's how Sasuke wanted him. He hadn't even told him that he liked Naruto yet. It was pathetic. They have been best friends for so long. Maybe Sasuke was afraid. Wouldn't really be the first time. I still hate him.

Every time I even got close to Naruto, Sasuke would pull him away from me, or tell me to go burn in hell. PATHETIC! He was just scared!

As I walked to school ((A/N: They're in High School…)) I saw Sasuke and Naruto standing in their usual spot; in front of the fountain. I looked away as I noticed they were holding hands.

Wait.

Since when did they hold hands? This meant only one thing! Sasuke had told Naruto how he felt and Naruto liked him back. I felt as though a knife had stabbed him heart. I couldn't take the scene before me. Without thinking, I ran away from the school. I headed toward my house.

As I ran I heard distant screams calling my name. A few were teachers. I didn't care if I got in trouble. I just wanted to get away from Naruto and Sasuke.

Before I knew it, it began to rain. How I loved the rain. No one could tell I was crying. Tears mixed with rain ran down my pale face. I had finally arrived at my house. I walked on the driveway when I slipped. I fell flat on my face, hitting my head hard on the ground. I let out a cry of pain.

The garage door opened. I looked up and saw only two red lights.

That's right. Temari was leaving for work. I made an attempt to get up but couldn't. My body was numb. I couldn't move at all. I could only move my head. I wanted to yell, but that was Shukaku, who didn't want to get hurt; the real me wanted to get ran over.

"Temari!" I yelled. I closed my eyes waiting to get hit but instead I heard the car stop and the front door open.

"Gaara!" I heard both Temari and Kankuro yell.

I didn't want to open my eyes.

"Did I hit him?" I heard Temari say.

"I don't think so…" Kankuro replied. I felt a hand on my forehead. It hurt. My eyes twitched.

"He's hurt. Kankuro," Temari yelled in a desperate voice. "I have to go to work, so please take care of Gaara. You have the day off after all."

"That was not my plan at all for today." My brother wined. Temari took her hand off my forehead. Then Kankuro picked me up. Throughout all this I kept my eyes shut.

I heard Temari yell something to Kankuro, then her driving away. Kankuro slammed the door behind him. I felt soft silk under me. Kankuro must have placed me on my bed. I slightly opened my left eye. I saw Kankuro talking on the phone.

"Yeah… No, something came up… I have to take care of my little brother…" He paused. "I know. Love you too, bye." He hung up then place the phone on the counter. ((OMFG!))

I closed my eyes again as I heard his footsteps getting closer.

"My god Gaara…" He said. I felt his hand on my forehead. Ouch. "What the hell happened to you?" He placed a bag of ice on my head after removing his hand. "You're freakin' wet, and you're head is red."

I slowly opened my eyes. Kankuro sat next to my bed on a small stool.

"Kankuro…" I moaned.

Kankuro looked up at me. "You're okay… good…"

"Kankuro," I repeated. "Have you ever had your heart broken?"

He didn't reply right away. After a few minutes he said, "Only when mom died."

I nodded. "And how did you get over it?" I added.

"I didn't." There was sadness in his voice. He began to laugh. "Don't tell me that you told Naruto that you liked him and he didn't feel the same way!"

I shook my head. "I saw Sasuke and Naruto holding hands."

"That's why you ran away from school?"

I nodded, not really caring how he knew that. I just wanted to know a way to get Naruto.

"Oh," Kankuro finally said. "That must have hurt." He sighed. "Maybe he does like you back…"

"THEN WHY IS HE WITH SASUKE?" I yelled, sitting up straight. The ice bag on my head went flying.

Kankuro's eyes followed the bag. He chuckled. "I'm not an expert, but I do know this: Love is confusing. If you just tell Naruto that you like him, he'll probably think about it then you'll have a fifty percent chance of being with him."

"But what if Naruto doesn't like me? What if he stays with Sasuke? Can we please move to another state?" I yelled.

Kankuro turned to me. He had a serious look on his face. "You were friends since first grade. He always came over to your house and you went over to his. What makes you think he doesn't like you anymore?"

I opened my mouth to talk but then closed it. I didn't know why I doubted the fact that he liked me. We were friends. Longer than him and Sasuke were friends. Why would he not like me anymore?

"I'm not sure." I replied after several moments of thinking.

Kankuro stood up. "You need some time to think" He walked toward the door. He stopped and turned to look at me. "I want you to go to Naruto's house when school's over and tell him how you feel. But it's not really my choice so do whatever you want. Just remember this: If you don't tell him, you're risking your chances of being with him." ((Kankuro's letting Gaara stay home… Cool…))

I watched him walk out my room, closing the door shut behind him.

What was I to do? Kankuro was right! If I didn't tell Naruto I would be risking my chances of never being with him… What to do…? What to do…?

A/N: OMG! WHO WAS KANKURO TALKNG TO ON THE PHONE? WILL GAARA TELL NARUTO? HOW WILL SASUKE REACT? HOW WILL NARUTO REACT? So many questions, so little time. All will be answered in the next chapter. wink
