Sooo…. This is my first taste at making a fanfiction. I really liked the thought authors like KyuubiGoku and Lucifer-Allheart put into their stories and I wanted to try to. Let it be known that I'm not copying them just acknowledging their amazing work.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Kakashi would be dead already.
Instead of the hot breeze that swept through during the day. It was a quite cold night in Sunagakure. Gaara, who was crying in a pool of Yashamaru's blood, had witnessed enough of this horrific village. He had seen chuunin fight with no mercy. He'd seen assassins try to take his life. He was fed up with the way his family treated him.
So he fled.
He fled northwest to the forest that had attracted him. He rested in the middle of a dirt path waiting to find someone only to fall asleep. The scarred redhead awoke in a merchant's carriage with two round blue eyes staring at him. Being somewhat shy, Gaara backed up.
"Hi there, my names Haru," the brown haired boy introduced.
"…I'm Gaara, where am I" he said, then abruptly a woman called
"Haru! The poor boy just awoke give him some space!" she scolded. Saying a quick bye Haru left the carriage to play.
Within the three days of nursing Gaara to health. Gaara thought the merchants' were more of a family than Kankuro, Temari, and Yashamaru. Haru could be extremely talkative but Gaara enjoyed his company. He felt those false words of love that came from Yashamaru were true in a sense. He felt an inkling, a fluttering in his chest when sitting down for dinner outside. He went to bed ecstatic to wake up the next morning to greet his family.
On the road the next morning, Haru and Gaara went to play with their mother out on the shore of a lake. The mother laughed at the youth of her children. She could see them becoming important in this world. So important indeed.
After a long day of play, Haru's dad sat them down and talked about chakra with Gaara. Haru laughed at Gaara since he already knew a jutsu. But Gaara caught up quickly and in a week both Haru and Gaara knew how to do a Kawarimi without hand-signs. Needless to say Haru's dad was very impressed at the way they challenged each other.
When they arrived in Konoha to trade. Both children knew Karawimi and Ninpou:Furea. In case anything were to happen of course.
Late one night when Haru's parents left to go shop. Gaara and Haru had a visitor at their door.
