Chapter 1: Secret Crush

There he was. The second most popular boy in school, but in my eyes The only one. And also…my secret crush. Blonde hair, perfect sky blue eyes, and the most beautiful…no most sinful tan that covered his entire body. Perfect abs that could make your mouth water. Wonderful looking biceps that made you have fantasies of wrapping your hands around and just want to…squeeze! Yummy was all I could think!

But alas, he could never be mine. Maybe I should introduce myself. I am Gaara Sabaku. I am considered a loser and a loner among my peers. Always have been. I guess it's because I don't engage in conversations with other people besides my siblings. I ignore everyone even the teachers. I am the main target by mostly everyone in the school… except my secret crush. Naruto Uzumaki. He never once made fun of me or tried to beat me up in the halls.

I remember the first time I started to fall for him. I was walking down an alleyway to my home. I always take this shortcut. I was half way down the alley when I heard footsteps. I should have kept walking…or even ran.

~*~FLASHBACK~*~

I looked back and there were four guys following me. I started to speed up. They decided to run. One of them pushed me down. I never got a look at the one that kicked me in my side. That hurt like a bitch! Another one started in and was kicking my other side. The one that pushed my down sat on my back so that I couldn't move. Then suddenly the kicking stopped and all I heard was a zipper being unzipped. I started to struggle more and panic seized my throat so that I couldn't scream for help.

"Hey, think this loser is a virgin? I bet he is. Who would want a loser like you?" The boy who unzipped his pants quipped.

"I bet he isn't. I bet that he likes to have dicks shoved up his tight little ass!" Another one sneered.

"Only way to find out. I'm first. Then you. The others can fight who's next." The first one said.

I couldn't believe this was happening to me! I was going to be gang raped and I could do nothing! NOTHING! All I could see was the shoes of the fuck faces that were about to do this to me. I wanted to receded into my own mind so that I could feel nothing. But then a miracle happened. A voice called out stopping the boys in there place in fear.

"HEY!!!! What the FUCK do you think you are doing!!!!!"

The one that had his pants half way down turned to face the new and unwelcome person. And froze. There at the end of the alley was Naruto Uzumaki. No one messed with him. He could knock you unconscious before you even saw him move. Pulling up his pants hastily, he started to babble incoherently.

"We- uh- um- nothing! Let's go!" And all four boys hightailed it out of there.

Slowly getting up to a kneeling position, I looked behind me to see my savior. I was blinded by his beauty. He looked so pure. So righteously pure! And he was moving towards me! I don't think my eyes could get any bigger. I didn't want him to see me like this. Not like this!

There he stood in front of me with his hand held out in offering. I wanted to take it so badly, but I thought about what he just saw and I hung my head in shame. I couldn't believe I let myself get into that situation!

"Hey there! Let me help you up. We need to go to the police and report this." I heard him say. My head shot up in disbelief.

"NO!" I yelled. "You can't! They didn't- they weren't- nothing happened." I croaked out.

"Are you shitting me? The almost raped you! And you say nothing happened??" Naruto raised his voice a little.

"What I mean is that they weren't able to go through with it. So nothing happened. I just want to go home and forget about it."

"Come on Gaara. I'll walk you home." He said grabbing my arm and pulling me up close to his chest. I just had to the most embarrassing thing…I blushed.

Wait a minute! He said my name! How- My thoughts were cut short by him pulling me down the alley. "Hey! How did you know my name? I never introduced myself." I exclaimed.

In amazement I saw a light blush dust his nose and cheeks. "Oh…well…we have classes together. And I've seen you around campus and everything." Was it just me or did THE Naruto sound nervous? I must have hit my head back there because no way would he be nervous because of that question.

"Do you even know where I live? Or the fact that you just dragged me a block away from my house?" I couldn't help but tease him. He stopped in his tracks and let go of my arm to bring his hand up behind his head to scratch his neck nervously. All I could think was cute.

"Oh! Um- sorry! Where do you live then?" Naruto said looking in the direction that we had just come from. I pointed to the blue house with white trimming down the street at the corner. He then proceeded to grab my arm again and drag me to my actual house. When we got there, there was an awkward silence between us.

"Um- thanks for what you did back there and I would appreciate it if you didn't mention it to anyone. I would be very grateful!" I said looking away from him and up to my front door. I could see Temari looking out the window that was built into it. Why was she glaring anyway? Who knows. She has been acting weird lately. Oh well. I sigh at that thought.

"Yeah. No problem. If you need anything and I mean anything just ask ok?" The way he said anything shot a jolt of electricity to my groin.

"Yeah. Ok. Thanks. Um- I guess I will see you at school sometime. Bye."

"Oh. Uh- yeah bye." Naruto turned to walk down the way he came. I stood there for a bit and watched him walk away. I felt a stab in my heart when I watched him. I wanted him to stay for a bit, but I knew that anything I wanted with him could never be. We were in two different social classes when it came to school. Not when it came to money. I was just as rich as him if not more. My father and mother left me more money than I could possibly know what to do with!

Plus a company that as of right now Kankuro was running until I came of age to take over. I didn't want to take over. I was going to give it over to Kankuro when I was legally the owner of it. Hope he would like that. Mother and father barely left him anything. I think that is the main reason he resented me. Yes, Kankuro still loved me and took care of me, but it was still a wedge between us. I hated that fact since I loved him and would do anything for my older brother.

I walked up the small set of stairs to the front door where I knew Temari was waiting for me to explain why The Naruto Uzumaki was walking me home. Oh joy. Now I will have to tell her what happened.

~*~END FLASHBACK~*~

And that is the first time I started to fall for Naruto Uzumaki. Everyday since then he always said Hi to me in the hallways and the classroom. He always waved bye when he saw me walking home. He even had a big smile when he looked at me! Man did Naruto know how to make my heart flutter.

A/N: Temari is made into the middle sister and Kankuro is made into the eldest of them all.
