Author's note:

Hellooooo everyone. This is my first Naruto fanfic. I've wanted to do one for a while but never was in the mood or had an idea. But yeah, finally started one :) I'm sort of new to this, so please, if anyone has any constructive criticism, please let me know, I would really appreciate it! So thats all for now, please enjoy!

Title: Bad Luck Ain't That Bad Afterall

Pairing: Naruto/Gaara

Warning: There will be yaoi in future chapters. If you find boyxboy offensive, please do not read.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would make yaoi the only feature in the series.


"Ughhh, can't believe she gave me another lousy mission" The young irritated ninja walked through the desert, kicking up the sand in frustration, "I'm a ninja, not her goddamn messenger boy". He couldn't help but think back to a few days ago when all his bad luck had started.

"So Granny, got A ranked mission for me?" He walked into the office with his hands resting behind his head and a cocky grin evident on his face.

Lady Tsunade sat back in her seat with her arms folded underneath her chest and smirked. "Well I got a mission for you at least, Naruto." Shizune, who was standing next to the Hokage, cringed, knowing exactly what was going to come next.

The blonde ninja spoke with slight confusion in his voice "..and its an A ranked mission right..?"

The Hokage didn't bother to reply, knowing that her silence would answer the brat's question.

"B ranked?" The Genin guessed again. Still no reply.

His cockiness had completely faded away and was now replaced with uncertainty and dread. "…C ranked?" He still received no answer.

Naruto then barged right up to the Hokage's desk and slammed his fist onto the wooden table. "You have GOT to be kidding me?! Another D ranked mission?!"

A small chuckle was heard from Lady Tsunade, "Good guess, took you a while". She had always found the younger ninja's suffering somewhat entertaining even though she knew better then to mess with kids, especially as the Hokage. But sometimes she just couldn't help herself.

Naruto glared at the old lady in front of him. "This isn't fair! You know D ranks are waaay below my level! Cant you just give this to Konohamaru or something?! I've done enough of these stupid missions, give me something serious!"

Standing up from her seat, she grabbed the screaming boy's collar and pulled him close to her face. In fact, he was so close that he could feel the woman's breath on his face. "Don't give me that attitude Naruto. Despite your skill level, you are still a Genin and have a long way to go. I am the Hokage and you will accept any mission I give you, got it?"

Naruto swallowed hard and nodded nervously in response. I have to seriously remember not to piss her off whenever I see her, he thought to himself, she is one scary woman.

The older woman let go of the collar she had an extremely tight grip on and sat back down into her seat, taking a sip from her cup of sake. She glared at Naruto for a few more seconds in hopes to scare the boy just that bit more before speaking again.

"I just need you to deliver this message to the Sand's Kazekage. Since you claim you are such a skilled ninja, then this should be nothing, but a breeze, for you." She held up a scroll for him to see.

"W-Wait..all I have to do is deliver a message? That's it?" Naruto stared at Tsunade in disbelief as he grabbed the scroll. This had to be a joke, "Why cant you send a messenger bird or something? Why do you need me to do this?"

"Don't complain, just do it." Tsunade said with a sigh, this kid was now starting to get on her nerves, "Just be glad its only a messenger mission. I could have easily had you chasing around ferocious cats all day with Konohamaru, but though you would prefer this one instead. However if you insist, that's always an open option if you refuse the mission I have already assigned you."

The blonde immediately stood up straight and felt his spine stiffened. He definitely didn't want to deal with the cats. He had seen the condition Konohamaru and his team were in after each mission. It wasn't pretty.

"Okay okay okay, I'll go. Just what-whatever you do, don't give me the cats." And with that, Naruto sprinted out of the office, not wanting to encourage the short tempered woman to change her mind.

Just as the boy left her office, Tsunade couldn't help but grin.

Shizune let out a relieved sigh, seeing that the boy didn't break anything this time around before turning her attention to her senpai.

"You only gave him this mission to annoy him didn't you"

"Oh you know me Shizune, I can't help myself" The blonde woman brought her drink to her lips, but this time to hide her smirk. Plus, Naruto was sent on this mission on a personal request, she thought to herself, seems like the Kazekage has something else on his mind for him.

Naruto thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he tripped over his own feet out of nowhere. He landed face first into the hot sand and groaned.

"I should have just gone with the cats" he mumbled to himself as he turned onto his back and stared up at the cloudless blue sky. "This is going to take forever"

He slowly got up, exhausted from the 3 day trip to the Sand Village. He always managed to get lost in the seemingly endless desert when he didn't have Kakashi Sensei or Temari to guide him. He looked all around him, squinting to see if he could find anything other than sand in the distance.

Just as he was about to give up, he spotted something up ahead.

"THERE IT IS! THE SAND VILLAGE!" Naruto jumped into the air, cheering. "I thought I was going to die out here!" Desperately wanting to get out of the heat, the blonde ninja ran as fast as he could towards the distant village.

"Finally! Phew" Naruto finally reached the Sand Village, just in time before the daytime was replaced with night. The exhausted boy dropped to the ground and was about to fall asleep before he was interrupted by two Sand ninjas.

"Leaf Village huh?" One of them said, standing over the unexpected visitor.

"What should we do? He looks like he is dead" The other kicked the stranger's side, to see if there was any sign of life in him.

"Huh, guess we should just dump him back into the des-" The Sand ninja was cut off by Naruto as he jumped up onto his feet at the mention of the desert. His sudden movements surprised the two ninjas as they pulled out kunai's out in as a defence.

"I'm alive you idiots!" Naruto screamed out. He saw the positions of the two ninja's and gave a nervous laugh. "Uh, I mean, I'm Naruto Uzamaki from the Leaf Village. I was sent here on a mission to deliver a message to the Kazekage"

The blonde ninja pointed to his headband and held up the scroll for the others to see. The sand ninjas sighed in relief and were relieved from their stances. One stepped forward to closely examine the scroll in the boy's hand.

"A message only? Why didn't the Hokage simply send a messenger bird?" The previously mentioned ninja asked suspiciously.

Naruto shrugged and yawned as he spoke "Beats me. I was just assigned to this mission, she didn't give go into much detail."

The sand ninja eyed him one last time before letting the Leaf Genin off the hook. "Alright, you know where the Kazekage's office is right?"

Naruto beamed his typical goofy grin before running off, yelling back behind him "Yep! Thanks!"

Naruto reached Gaara's office without causing too much trouble. He had accidentally stepped on a cat's tail on the way to the office, but ran off as fast as he could before he could check if it was okay. He remembered how scary cats could get.

As soon as he reached the door of the Kazekage's office, Naruto moved his hand to knock but stopped when he heard a strange noise coming from inside. He moved closer to the door to listen more closely and realised that the sounds were actually moans of, what sounded like, pleasure.

Just as he was about to press his ear against the door, the Genin noticed it was already open slightly. Curiosity got the best of him, so Naruto couldn't help but peak through the small crack. The moans kept getting louder and louder and soon Naruto realised why. He gasped and fell back in shock, covering his mouth with his hands to stop him from making shouting. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Naruto just caught Gaara masturbating.


So that's the first chapter done! Please let me know if you want me to continue :)
