Okies, I hope you all enjoy this collection of yaoi oneshots. To start, I have a Kankuro x Naruto because I haven't seen any before.

The fox and the crow

It was at the chuunin exams that I first saw him. His sapphire eyes sparkled with determination, yet ached with loneliness at the same time. Sun-kissed locks, ruffled by the wind and a perpetual smile that almost made me smile too. He was breathtaking to observe, but I knew he was like me. Hidden under all that happiness was a broken boy, unfamiliar to a mothers touch. Yes, I had the pleasure of actually knowing my mother, but she never favoured me with hugs and kisses. It is because of her that I despise the female of my species, I even hold some disregard for my own sister. She does behave more like our brother and myself. Cold and calculating, harsh and bloodthirsty, dejected and unhappy. We are all seen as tools in the eyes of our elders, expected to do their bidding at the drop of a pin. That is why I love Naruto so, because he is everything I wish I could be. On the outside, he pays no heed to the cold glares, the taunting and alike, but on the inside, he is a small child that cries for the love he has never known. My only desire is to take that hurting boy, and show him that I care.

I watched him at the chuunin exams. I was close to tears when I thought he had died at the hands of Zaku, only for him to have him surprise his combatant and me by revealing that he had switched places with Karasu, his puppet. I had seen him to this prior, being it a fleeting glance here and there, as we trudged through the forest of death. I have known for a while that my interests lie with guys, I merely keep up the whole 'Sakura' façade as to not add fuel to the villager's fire. I love the way the red paint accentuates his ivory skin and dark eyes. He holds himself with pride and dignity, but if you look close enough you can see the scars that mar his heart and make it hard for him to love. He is very much like me in a way, pushed out and aching for the loving touch of another. I would go as far as to say that I love Kankuro, and I hope to be the one to heal the wounds on his soul.

Naruto was sitting in a hospital bed, bored and lonely. Only Iruka had taken the time to visit the poor boy. His mind wandered to the object of his affections, and the pledge he made to himself.

Someone appeared in the doorway. "Hey, do you mind if I come in?"

Naruto looked up and was surprised to see Kankuro. "Sure."

Kankuro sat on the bed and sighed. "How are you feeling?"

Naruto shrugged. "Okay I guess, just bored. How are you doing?"

The puppet user gave a non-committal shrug. "Listen, I wanted to tell you something. I know that it seems hard now, but someone will always be there for you. You just have to find them."

"I know, I'm just tired of being alone. Everyone hates me and goes out of their way to make my life a misery. No one really cares, not even my teammates." Naruto sighed.

A soft hand was placed on the blonde's. "I care Naruto, and I always will."

Naruto gave Kankuro a true smile. "You have no idea what that means to me."
