Hana : Oh my gosh this is my first Naruto fic!

Naruto: It's not that great…

Hana: What did you just say?

Naruto: (Shivers) nothing!

Hana: okay…you better behave. (Turns to the readers) Oh yeah I want to thank Mitsumi-chan, the authoress of accidental engagement, for helping me with this fic. And my younger sister, Aya-chan for giving us (me and Mitsumi) the idea of using the dictionary! Now disclaimer please!

Naruto: (mutters) This already is the disclaimer…

Hana: (Glares)

Orochimaru: Hana thorns does not own Naruto , but she does own this fic.

Hana: Wait a sec…where's Gaara. He's supposed to do the disclaimer….and aren't you supposed to be dead?

Orochimaru: Iam not dead…and I dot know where Gaara is.

(Flash to Gaara who was tied up and stuck in a random closet by Orochimaru.)

Hana: well anyway, on to the first chapter!

Chapter 1: It started with a dictionary

It was an ordinary day at Konoha village. The weird thing is that most of the teams from the chunin (is the spelling right? but still I don't care!) exam is here. I guess they just wanted to hang out, but that isn't our problem. Well anyway, Naruto, Saske and Sakura were planning to practice in an area of the wide forest of Konoha. But it ended with and 'insult match' between Saske and Naruto.

"Idiot!" Naruto practically screamed at Saske.

"Bakero…"Saske muttered, glaring.

"Saru!"

"Freak…"

"Bakemono!"

"Stupid uncouth juvenile delinquent w/ a microscopic piece of fluff for a brain…"

"Eh?" Naruto scratched his head. "What does uncouth, juvenile delinquent and microscopic mean?"

"Look it up in a dictionary…" Sake suggested sarcastically.

"Oh yeah!" Naruto cried out. "But wait…what is a dictionary?"

Saske and Sakura sweat dropped.

"I get it!" Naruto grinned. "I'll just look for the meaning of a dictionary from a dictionary! But wait…where can I find a dictionary with the meaning of a dictionary?"

A bulging vein appeared in Sakura's head as she walked towards Naruto. "This is a dictionary you uncouth baka…"she muttered hitting Naruto hard on the head wit it.

"Ow…"Naruto groaned rubbing his head. "Thanks Sakura-chan…." He turned to where he thought the others where but they vanished. "Eh?"

(Cut scene to a place about 10,000 miles away)

"Sake-kun! Wait up!" Sakura yelled running towards the quick moving raven-hired boy.

(Back to Naruto)

"Hmm… time to find out what the insults Saske meant..." Naruto smiled opening the dictionary.

(Cut-scene to wherever Gaara, Temari and Kankurou are)

To be truly strong, you must find someone to love and protect

They say that when you love someone and you protect them until you die, then you are truly strong. I want to be strong but wait… Gaara thought.

"What really is love?" He asked himself.

"Hey Gaara, you've been sitting in that corner all day…" Temari commented bending to look at her younger brother in the eye. "You alright?"

"Hey Temari…what is love?" Gaara asked emotionlessly.

"Eh?" Temari stared at her younger brother, not sure if she would believe what she heard.

"What is love? What is the meaning of love? Why is there love?" He repeated, his eyes still without emotions.

"Um…Kankurou can you come here a for second…" Temari called over her shoulder. "Gaara is asking something."

"What is it?" Kankurou muttered walking towards the pair.

"What is love?" Gaara replied.

"Is he alright?" Kankurou asked glancing at Temari.

"I'm perfectly fine…" Gaara scowled. "But what I love?"

"Ask Temari…" Kankurou suggested, stepping back. "She's the girl"

"Ask Kankurou..." Temari shot back. "He's the same as you are…a guy…"

"Ask Temari…"

"Ask Kankurou..."

"Temari…"

"Kankurou..."

"Temari…"

"Kankurou..."

"I know…" Temari and Kankurou turned to each other and then to Gaara.

"Ask Naruto!" They said in unison.

"That idiot?" Gaara replied glaring.

"Well…he was the one who put that love idea in your mind wasn't he?" Kankurou shrugged.

"Oh yeah…well alright…' Gaara stood up and waked away still muttering, "What is love? What is the meaning of love? Why is there love?"

"Think he'll be alright?" Temari asked Kankurou a bit worriedly.

"I hope so…" he replied watching Gaara leave.

(After two weeks)

"What is love? What is the meaning of love? Why is there love?" Gaara muttered waling through the forest of Konoha. Suddenly…he tripped.

"OW!" a voice screamed, "watch were your going!"

Gaara turned and saw…Naruto.

"What are you doing on the ground?" Gaara asked him.

"-- You just tripped on me…" Naruto reminded him, sitting up and reopening the dictionary.

"What's that?" Gaara asked.

"A dictionary" Naruto replied reading a page. "It's used to find unfamiliar words."

"Really?"

"Yup!" Naruto suddenly screamed in frustration. "Ugh! I can't find Saske's insults!"

"Can I borrow it?" Gaara asked.

"No!" Naruto shook his head. Gaara glared at him. " I mean it's all yours!" Naruto amended dropping the dictionary and running away.

Gaara picked up the dictionary and turned to find the word he was looking for…'Love'.

Hana: Chapter one's done. What would happen if Gaara finds out the meaning? Stay tuned for Chapter two: First word Love! Oh yeah, Read and review please!
