Because Gaara is the only person whose voice reaches Naruto. A collection of 10 cute drabbles and my fav pairing – Naruto/Gaara! Dedicated to Gaara X Itachi
Drabble 1 – "Demon"
"He's been like this – for two days – we can't seem – to calm him down – please – do something Kazekage-sama!" a distraught Sakura cried while dodging wild orange chakra spilling from the blonde shinobi.
Gaara nodded. "You were wise to call me," he said.
Finally, Captain Yamato managed to trap the enraged kitsune in a wooden cage, the blonde howling in outrage and throwing himself at the bars.
"Good luck," Sakura said disappearing behind the secure door.
Gaara looked at Naruto, his blood red eyes, pupils dilated into slits, his teeth elongated and fang-like nails turn into claws, bathed in orange chakra.
Naruto growled as he calmed down, simmering in fury he glowered at Gaara from inside the cage.
Gaara, braving the chakra determined to wipe him out, crossed the room and knelt by the cage.
"Naruto, it's Gaara. You know me, remember? Do you remember me?" Gaara said holding up a careful hand.
The kitsune sniffed the hand and his eyes narrowed. He growled threateningly.
"Come on Naruto I know you're still in there somewhere, you can do it, fight back." Gaara's voice got a hard edge to it and Naruto took it as a threat.
His growl deepened. "No, no, no, no Naruto, it's okay, it's okay." Gaara said urgently, trying to calm him down.
"You know me, right? Sabaku no Gaara? The eyebrow-ess freak from the Sand?"
A rumbling noise in which can only be described as a chuckle escaped the kitsune.
"That's right Naruto, you remember now don't you?"
Naruto bobbed his head in a nod. He whined once. Gaara sighed in relief.
"Is he better?" Sasuke asked coming into the room.
Sasuke, who had been brought back to the village two days before and was worried when Naruto didn't return to normal like he usually did after their battles.
Naruto snarled as he saw Sasuke enter. He threw himself at the bars, breaking them and shooting past Gaara, Naruto made for Sasuke.
In a dash of sand Gaara got ahead of him and stood in front of Sasuke, he placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders, wincing as the chakra burnt them.
Sasuke fled the room. Gaara didn't even need to say anything, slowly Naruto's eyes went from red, to blue.
"Gaara?" he questioned, sounding like a lost child.
A sigh escaped Gaara. "Naruto," he said relieved. Naruto reverted back to his normal form and took Gaara's injured hands in his.
"I'm sorry Gaara," Naruto said. "It's okay Naruto, as long as you're alright." Gaara assured him. Naruto smiled at him.
