Lie to Me
Summary: "I have a feeling you are only telling me lies. What is really happening behind the closed door? I can help you, you know? All you have to do is tell me the truth, is that so hard?" Back then I hadn't known that I had been lying to him and now he's gone… never to return. Would he still be here if I hadn't forced him to tell me the truth?
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I never will.
Warnings: Child Abuse, and slight yaoi.
Thanks goes to MckayZielke for helping me out with the Summary a bit.

POV
Chapter 1
Naruto's POV
Cool grass slipped through my toes, as I cherished the last bit of time I had left in Konoha for a while. I was excited to go to Suna, because I had never been there before, but I would still miss my home. The grass slowly faded into a rocky surface. My feet had led me to the Hokage heads. I turned around and stared at the treetops that seemed to stretch on forever.
"Naruto, it is time to go," I turned around and stared at me dad; he was the whole reason why we were going to Suna. He was the current Hokage and he had to talk to the Kazekage about things that I wasn't supposed to know about yet. My father insisted on saying I wasn't old enough to know what they were talking about. That was the same thing he had said to me when I asked him if he would teach me a couple of techniques. My mom thought that he should teach me some techniques, that way I could defend myself and protect those close to me, but my father said he wanted to wait until I was older, because he thought I might use them in a bad way if I got mad. I didn't understand what was so different about my temper and everyone else's; I was a normal kid, just like all the others. I guess it didn't really matter that he hadn't taught me any jutsu, because I haven't been in a situation where I would have needed to use them.
"I know," I said giving him a smile. I couldn't wait to make new friends, I had friends here, but they usually hung out with other people. Besides if I didn't' have any friends in Suna, staying there would get really old really fast.
"You should probably put on shoes; the desert sand will be really hot." He told me, as he handed me my shoes.
I gave him a goofy smile, as I slipped them on.
"So we're walking?" I asked, looking at him.
"Yeah, we are walking." He replied.
I shrugged and began following him.
My father had to go and talk to the Kazekage immediately upon arriving in Suna. My mother told me that I could go and explore, but she wanted me back before night fall. I had agreed since I was anxious to explore and I was out the door before my mom could give me the don't talk to adult strangers speech.
I stopped; I couldn't take my eyes off of this person. He was absolutely beautiful. He had bright red hair and black rings around his eyes that complimented the beautiful color his eyes were and his skin was a color that would make you think he was made out of porcelain.
I walked over to him, "Hi, my name is Naruto what is yours?" I asked.
He jumped, as he turned to look at me, "My name is… Gaara." His eyes held confusion, until he realized that I wasn't from here.
"Well Gaara it is nice to meet you," I said beaming at him.
He nodded slightly, "It is nice to meet you too."
I held out my hand, like my father always did when he was greeting someone.
It looked like he wasn't going to take my hand at first, but right before I would have pulled it away he held out his hand. I smiled and still following how may father did it, I grabbed his wrist. A hiss of pain escaped his lips, as he quickly tried to pull his hand back.
I let go of his wrist almost immediately, "Oh, crap I am so sorry, did I hurt you?" I asked concern leaking into my voice.
He stared at me, I narrowed my eyes reaching forward and grabbing his arm. I pulled up his sleeve and gasped, there were bandages wrapped all up his arms, they were covered in old blood and fresh blood was quickly seeping into it.
"How did this happen?" I asked him, as I stared at him.
"I shoved my hand through a glass door, on accident." He said looking down at the ground. Why do I feel like that isn't true, but if it isn't what is really going on? Is it more serious than just a couple of arm injuries?'
I looked and saw my father come out of the Kazekage building; he looked at me and gestured for me to come with him.
I nodded and turned to my new friend, "Well that's my dad, so I have to go, see you tomorrow?" He nodded slightly and that made me smile.
I walked off, but turned around to look at him and I saw people throwing him dirty looks.
Gaara's POV
I didn't want to lie to Naruto, but I really had n choice, it was safer for me and for him, if he didn't know the truth, especially since he seemed like the type of person who would step in and try to stop something like that from happening and then he would just get hurt, so it was best if he heard my lies instead of the truth, but I have to admit that was the worst lie I had ever come up with. I looked back at the task at hand, trying to cross the street without getting run over, because I knew no one would stop for me. I sighed, as I just walked down the sidewalk, I would cross it once I got closer to the Kazekage mansion.
A/N: So how was it? It will get better as the story progresses and the summary will make more sense as it progresses. Please leave reviews, because they make me smile. I know I am bad this is the third Naru/Gaa story I am working on… don't worry though; I will still update the other two.
