Chapter 1: Gaara Kills Again

(Gaara's POV)

Gaara looked up and saw the three shinobi coming towards him. They surrounded him and pulled out kunai. They stood there and looked at the teenage ninja and after a minute passed, one said, "We found you, Gaara of the Sand. We have a bounty on your head and we've come to collect it. If you come quietly, we may take you in alive."

Gaara stood there, looking from one ninja to another. He crossed his arms as he said, "You think that inferior beings like yourselves can stop me? Please." He turned and walked away as the sand around his opponents' feet pulled them under. 'They were dead before they even got here,' thought Gaara as he entered Konoha.

(Naruto's POV)

Naruto was eating ramen at his favorite ramen stand when he saw Sakura walking to the store. He slurped down the rest, paid for his meal, and went to talk with her. "Hey Sakura! Whatcha doin'?"

"Hey Naruto," said Sakura in an annoyed voice. "I'm gonna buy a new CD or something like that. What are you doing?"

"I was eating ramen but now I'm done. Mind if I come with you?" asked Naruto as he pulled out some spending money.

"I don't care, just be nice to Ino and Hinata, I'm meeting up with them later, OK?" said Sakura as she checked the time. "I don't want you to piss Ino off, and I don't want you to upset Hinata either."

"OK, I won't be annoying," said Naruto as he thought, 'Damn! I wanted to spend some time alone with her! Oh well. At least I'm spending some time with her.'

(Gaara's POV)

'Where is she?' thought Gaara as he looked up and down different streets. 'She does this every time and I'm getting really pissed off!' He went into some stores and down dark alleys.

"Need anything, young man?" asked an elderly lady as he entered her medicine shop. "I have plenty of herbs and powders."

"No, I'm looking for a girl who comes from the Village Hidden in the Sand. She has dirty-blond hair and a real attitude. Maybe you've seen her?" asked Gaara as he looked at the sand-based remedies. "I need to find her."

"Now that you mention it, I remember seeing just that kinda girl heading into the west side of the woods. That's all I recall of a girl like that," said the woman as Gaara left. "Weird kid."

(Naruto's POV)

"Hey Hinata, hey Ino!" yelled Naruto as they met up with Sakura. "How's it goin'?"

"What is he doing here?" asked Ino as Hinata stood behind her and blushed. "I thought we were gonna hang out without the boys around for once, huh?"

"You know Naruto, always butting in people's business," said Sakura as Naruto looked hurt.

"You said I could come if I behaved," pouted Naruto as the girls looked at clothes. "I wasn't butting in either, all I did was say hi and ask if I could come with you."

"Yeah, but if I said no, you would have bothered me even more. Now shut up," explained Sakura as they neared the store on the west edge of the village.

Naruto, who was pouting, kept his focus on his feet. If had looked to his left, he would have seen Gaara passing by, but he kept his eyes on the ground. 'I didn't do anything yet!' thought Naruto as he entered the store.

(Gaara's POV)

'I hope that lady was right about that girl being Temari. I gotta find her,' thought Gaara as he looked for any clues to her location. 'She goes missing with a boy for a day or two and then she comes back without her missions as her goal. She is never gonna become a Jonin like this.'

Suddenly, he heard a laugh from the tree he was standing in front of. He looked up and saw Temari sitting on a branch with a new boy. They were laughing at a joke. Gaara then used his sand to lift him up to the branch.

"Hello, Temari," said Gaara as the boy jumped out of fear and fell out of the tree. "I see that you have a new boyfriend."

"Gaara, don't do it," said Temari as she jumped out of the tree. "He hasn't done anything wrong, we were just talking."

"Maybe, but that's not the point. Every time you run off with a boy, you become reckless and carefree. I need to change that," said Gaara as sand began to cover the boy's body.

"Man, you say you hate me but you come and do this, why?" asked Temari as she witnessed the death of another boyfriend.

"Because, as long as you are under my division as a Chunin, you will be focused on all missions, got that?" asked Gaara as they walked out of the forest and into the town.

"Look, just because you're the youngest Jonin ever and my boss, doesn't give you the right to literally kill my relationships!" screamed Temari as she ran home.

Gaara thought about her words and stood outside a store, the store that Sakura and her friends were in. Gaara stood there until Sakura came out. To him, her pink hair seemed silky and her eyes sparkled in the sunlight. His eyes widened as he shook the thoughts away. 'Did I just think that? No, I couldn't have thought that,' thought Gaara as he started the long walk home.
