(A/N. I really suck at starting story's, but once I get past all the intros it'll get better. Tis my first attempt at writing a fanfiction so we'll see how you like it, if people want me to write more I shall. The characters are kinda OOC but I needed it that way. I have a pretty good idea to where this story will go so let me know if I should continue it.)

Chapter 1

Its still raining. Its been raining the past three days. What makes it worse is I've had to spend those past three days at the police station. I could feel my headache getting worse with every drop of water that hit the car window.

I looked at my uncle Minato from the passenger seat as he stopped at a red light. His usually bright blond hair was dulled in the darkness of the car and his blue eyes were focused on the road. Since he came to get me from the station he's had that look of complete sadness imprinted on his face like a bad scar. That's understandable though since he just lost his brother to some psycho.

We haven't said a single word to each other the whole ride from Suna. I didn't mind the silence, it was better than having to talk about it. There's nothing worse then having to talk about my problems. As the light changed to green and he started to drive again I turned my head back and watched out the window.

I'm going to be living with him and my cousin, Naruto, from now on. I like Naruto, I didn't at first though. At first I thought he was this really loud, obnoxious, hyperactive little pest that didn't know how to shut up. But as we grew up together we got closer and I kind of look up to him in a way. I don't mind living with the Uzamaki's, I kinda wish it was under different circumstances though.

You see, my whole family was almost murdered a few days ago and I watched the whole thing happen. I wasn't really close to them, in fact I didn't really even like them. We never talked to each other even though we lived together, but they were still my family, and the only people I bothered to talk to if needed. My sister announced that she was engaged to this guy and when she brought him home to meet father(mom died giving birth to me) he wasn't accepted, so she broke it off with him. In my family we do what father says -even me, I never disobeyed- and we get what were allowed to have. I'm pretty sure my sister really did like him, but orders are orders, so even if it broke her heart she still did it. He got really pissed off and tried to kill our father and then her for breaking up with him so easily.

He was arrested with a life sentence and our father died while trying to protect my brother from one of his more vicious attacks. My sister was put under special care from the trauma, and my brother ended up in a coma. The doctors still don't know how long he'll be like that if he even wakes up at all.

I'm okay, I got out with a nice cut on my upper arm and one across my chest (which I'll probably get a nice scar from) but that's it. Nothing too bad in my opinion.

I sighed and sunk further in my seat.

"Gaara, are you okay?" I looked up at my new guardian as he spoke for the first time that night, I nodded my head. He sighed "you know you can talk to me about it right." He sighed again when I nodded my head.

I don't want to talk about it. I don't tell people my problems how many times do I not have to say it out loud. I never have, even before all this happened. In fact I hardly spoke to anyone outside my little family socialization.

People think it's because I'm antisocial and don't like people, there was also a rumor at my old school that I was in a gang and I kill people that cross me, so they avoided me most of the time. None of that's true though, I'm just really shy but I wont ever admit to it out loud.

Being around a lot of people scares me (I wont ever admit to that out loud either). I get uncomfortable and freak out, so I stay away from them. If they try to approach me I just send them a death glare and they cower away in fear. It's kind of funny how much their intimidated by me.

I looked over at Minato again. We had just came to another town close to Konoha and my headache was pounding in my skull to where I couldn't take it anymore.

"Uncle Minato," he looked at me, probably surprised I was talking.

"What is it Gaara?" he asked.

"Can we stop at a gas station and get some headache medicine?" I asked quietly. He looked at me for a second before answering.

"Of course, I think there's one a few blocks away," his smile while he said that was sort of forced, not completely since he's naturally a happy person, but I don't think even he can be all smiley after his brother just died. I nodded and we went back to not talking.

After a few minutes we pulled into the gas station. Minato went to fill up the tank and I went inside to find the medicine.

The gas station wasn't very fancy and wasn't very big. There were three rows of snacks and other random stuff, the back wall held all the refrigerated drinks and some food, next to that was a little area which probably led to the bathroom, and up near the front there were two check out stations.

This place was nothing compared to back home, almost all the gas stations in Suna were at least three times bigger than this. I didn't really mind though, that just means there's going to be less people around.

I turned down one of the isles which I assumed held the medicine. I chose right but a scowl formed on my face as I saw there was already a guy there looking at the medicines. I contemplated whether or not to just go back to the car and say there was none, but my stupid headache was murder.

I snapped back to reality when I heard someone clear their throat, it was him. He had turned to face me, probably to know why I was staring.

When I came to the first thing I noticed was he was beautiful. That so sounds stupid to say about a guy but he really was. He was tall with long, straight, chocolate brown hair, pale-ish skin (not like ghost-vampire white but he seriously didn't have a lot of color), and pale silver eyes with a little hint of... purple? in the iris. He was gorgeous, but he looked like a total prick. Just the way he was dressed I could tell he was rich, and really aren't almost all rich people snobby assholes.

"Am I in your way?" he asked politely in a smooth voice causing me to come out of my daze...again. Really I need to learn to focus better. I nodded my head and pushed him aside grabbing the first headache medicine I could find. I wasn't going to talk to answer him. I don't know him, he doesn't know me, and I'm pretty sure were not going to meet again so there's no point in wasting my breath on a stranger.

I turned to walk away but he grabbed my arm to stop me. I immediately tensed. That's another thing that is considered illegal to do in my book. I get uncomfortable with people around me, just picture what happens when they try to touch me. To sum it up, you touch me and you better run and run far.

"You could say excuse me at least," he all but hissed out.

"Sorry daddy taught me not to talk to strange people" I smirked back yanking my arm from his grip and walking away again.

I just got me to talked...What the hell? He's so lucky I don't just kill him right now.

"If he was able to teach you to not talk to strangers then why didn't he also mention to be polite," he said back causing me to stop, "or did you not quite understand that lesson?" you are seriously pushing you luck. I turned back to face him.

"sorry we were to preoccupied with the dangers off sexual preditors lurking in small town gas stations around all the drugs trying to find there newest victims" I smirked and started to walk to the counter.

"Oh you mean the one where it describes how they tend to look...crazy red hair, face tattoo's, and an evil look engraved into there features" oh he is so not going to see the light of another day. I didn't even have to turn around to tell he was smirking. I clenched my hands into fists, walked to the counter, paid for the medicine and stomped back to the car. My headache had officially started to fry my brain. Or maybe it was the fact that, that argent prick was, well an argent prick. God I hate people. Why the hell did I even talk to him. Now I'm completely pissed off.

"Gaara, are you okay?" Minato asked as I slammed the passenger door shut. I looked over at him and just glared. He paled a little and started the car, leaving the gas station.

I just move to a new town and I'm already about to kill someone (preferably the prick). Awesome.

"GAARA!" I looked up to see Naruto pounce on me making us both fall to the floor. I make it one foot in the house and I'm being crushed by the idiot."Gaara, are you okay, did that psycho hurt you, shit your okay right?" Same old Naruto, no control once he starts to panic. He'll eventually calm down...Eventually.

"Chill Naruto, I'm good, still have all my marbles" I said standing up. I held out my hand to help him up which he accepted.

"What are you talking about Gaara, you haven't ad all you marbles since you were two" I couldn't help but give a little laugh as Minato walked in the door. He looked at me for a second before just walking away mumbling something about 'not going to ask'.

The rest of the day was boring as I was shown my room (which I shared with Naruto), we ate then went to bed. I didn't bother to unpack yet because, well let face it I'm too lazy.

The next day I made my way up to my new room after dinner. I was about to open the door when I heard Naruto talking to himself. No it's a phone call. "I'm sorry Sasuke but I can't... I know I promised and all but Gaara just got here and-...NO WAY!" my eardrums almost popped when he practically screamed into his phone "I'm gonna miss it!...well I could try to see if he might want to go but I don't think he's into those kinds of things...I really want to go though so I'll ask...yea...okay...I love you too Sasuke...bye" I love you Sasuke, well this should be interesting.

"Is Sasuke your boyfriend" I asked entering the room. I couldn't help but smirk at the look on his face. My smirk grew as he started to panic.

"I...well...um..."

"I'll take that as a yes"

"Shit, Gaara, I...um. Its' has to stay a secret for now Sasuke's parents will kill him twice over if they find out. You cant say anything."

"I won't, as long as you tell me what he wants us to go to with him" he gave me a questioning look before answering.

"You were eavesdropping" he sounds angry. More fun for me.

"It's not eavesdropping when anyone could hear you from all the way down the hall" I went and sat on the bed that was bought for me to sleep on and Naruto went to his. We sat there in silence for a while not doing anything, just staring at each other.

"How long have you been dating?" I asked braking the silence.

"About four and a half months"

"Does Minato know?"

"Yes" I guess that's good he at least knows.

"He treats you well?"

"Yes."

"He's not just using you?" I'll kill him if he is.

"Of course not!"

"Have you slept with him?"

"WHAT!" I smirked. Aw he's blushing, must really like this guy.

"Is that a yes?"

"No!" I rose an eyebrow.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I haven't slept with him." his blush deepened. Haha this is so much fun.

"...So where is it we're going?" I asked. He groaned and fell back onto his bed and went under his covers. I swear I could hear him muttering something about stupid red-heads and 20 questions under his breath. I couldn't help but chuckle a little as I also prepared for sleep myself.

I think living here is going to be more fun then I originally thought.

"Gaara, are you sure you want to go to school, you can wait till next week if you want. It'll give you a little time to relax after all that's happened." Minato said taking a drink of his coffee. Naruto stopped eating and looked at me. I looked at him for a second before my gaze focused back to Minato.

I shook my head and he sighed getting up a walking to the coffee pot to get a refill. Its not like I dont like uncle Minato I just don't talk much to people other than Kakuro (yes if I needed someone he was always there so I did tend to talk to him more than others) and Naruto.

"If that's what you want then I wont make you stay home. Just don't hesitate to call me if you want me to pick you up early, okay" I nodded again and took care of my breakfast plate.

"You ready to go, Gaara" Naruto asked grabbing his bag off the floor. I picked mine up and quietly mumbled a "yes" making my way to the front door.

The walk to school wasn't long but it was strangely quiet. Naruto hadn't made any effort to start a conversation, which in its self is strange. Once we got to the school I fallowed Naruto to a little grove of tree's and a few tables. Must be where you eat if you want to eat outside during lunch.

Since it was still really early we found a place to sit and sat on one of the benches off to the side but after a while the silence was killing me. And I usually like the silence.

"Naruto, whats wrong you haven't said a word to me since we left the house." I asked. He looked up at me running a hand through his hair. A wide grin spread across his face before he answered.

"Sorry, Gaara, I guess I was just trying to imagine what it's going to be like when Sasuke gets here." So he's nervous about me meeting Sasuke. He must REALLY like him if he wants my complete approval.

"Don't worry over nothing, Naruto. If you like him so much to worry about that then he must be pretty amazing" I smiled at him. God I hate how much he can make me talk. It's so annoying sometimes.

"Damn right I'm amazing, whats up dobe?" I turned and glared at the person who said that.

"Shut up Sasuke, and I'm not a dobe!" Sasuke just smirked and sat next to him.

"And I take it your Gaara then," he asked. I just glared at him. "Fine don't answer me."

"Gaara doesn't talk much"

"I can see that" he glared back at me. I intensified my glare, when I did that he did too but also clutched Naruto a bit tighter. If looks could kill death would be standing right in between us. I softened my gaze a gave him a little smirk. He looked at me questionably before he smirked too.

"Accepted" I muttered just loud enough for him to hear.

"Did Shikamaru, Kiba, Neji, and Hinata get back from the trip thing they went on?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

"Yea they got back a few days ago but are resting up a bit before coming back to school. They'll be here tomorrow though"

"Why are they relaxing, I thought that's what they were doing on their vacation?"

"Yea but they said something about Kiba getting an insane sunburn, Hinata was freaking out on the phone" He said laughing a bit.

"Gaara, Hinata, Kiba, Neji, and Shikamaru are some of our friends, we'll introduce you tomorrow. Hinata will most likely be shy, Shikamaru will be half asleep, Kiba will be as hyperactive as me-" great another Naruto "-and Neji...well he's just Neji"

"m'kay" I replied.

"Hey Sasuke, what time is it?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked at his wrist.

"7:48, why?"

"I'm taking Gaara to the office for his class schedule, I'll see you in a bit" Naruto started to walk away but Sasuke pulled him back.

"Where's my good-bye kiss?" Naruto just smirked and kissed his cheek.

"There, happy?" This time Sasuke smirked and pulled Naruto closer to him.

"Not quite" he said before full out kissing him which Naruto happily returned. I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat gaining both their attention.

"Ready to go now Naruto, or do you want me to leave you two alone to suck face" Sasuke smirked and Naruto blushed like crazy.

"Yea lets go, see ya Sasuke."

(A/N Next chapter will be the introduction of the friends and the start of Neji VS Gaara xD. But don't worry they'll stop the smart-ass comments eventually. Review's would be nice. -YoursInEternityS.D.)
