A/N I'm not a very good fanfic writer but I couldn't help but right this it is my first posted story so be nice. Also I am in need af a BETA so if you are interested private message or email me. now on with the story.

There was the faint smell of blood on the air as the red head left the Hokage's tower, where he was staying. He felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the smoke that rose from the direction of his secret lovers house. With a gasp Gaara took off in a run towards the billowing smoke not knowing what he would find when he arrived.

Sasuke felt tears form in his eyes as he looked up at his flame engulfed home. Itachi had made yet another attempt at his life, this time taking away the last of Sasuke's possessions. He felt his eyes burn with the unshed tears and rubbed his hands over them to keep the tears from falling. He had told Tsunade that it was his fault that the house was aflame. He could tell no one that it had been Itachi, doing so would put there life in danger. Sasuke gasped as he felt himself being pulled away from his burning home. Turning to strike the person who pulled him Sasuke stopped dead when he herd the whispered words.

"It's only me. Calm down. It's ok"

Sasuke would know that voice anywhere. It as was his secret sin, his hidden lover, the one person he had let into his cold heart. Gaara. Sasuke felt himself pull to a halt and looked around to in the hopes of figuring out where he was. They were between two building and they were alone.

"What happened Sasuke?" Gaara asked.

Sasuke was silent. He wanted to answer his lover but couldn't bring himself to lie to the one person he loved. Averting his eyes Sasuke sighed but said nothing.

"Ok, you don't have to tell me, everyone has secrets. But what are you going to do? Your home is gone." Gaara said.

Sasuke sighed, "I don't know Gaara, what am I going to do?" With that Sasuke broke down in tears.

Gaara pulled his lover into a hug and whispered, "It's ok, everything is going to work out fine."

After a few more moments of crying Sasuke pulled himself together. Slowing his breathing Sasuke thought of something. "Gaara what are you doing in Konoha?"

"Hokage Tsunade summoned me to discuss the trade routes for our villages."

"Oh that's right you're the Kazekage. I forgot." Sasuke scratched his head sheepishly, but flinched away when he felt a wet substance there. Upon seeing Sasuke's flinch Gaara spun him around to inspect the wound he knew was there. Sasuke's blue-black hair was coved in the crimson substance of blood. Gently pushing Sasuke's hair around Gaara found the source of the blood. On the back of Sasuke's head was a huge cut that appeared to have been made by a kunai.

"Sasuke where did you get this?" Gaara asked gently poking Sasuke's wound.

Sasuke sighed but kept quiet. He couldn't tell this lover that it was his older brothers gift to him, to go along with the fire. Gaara noted Sasuke's silence and quickly changed the subject. "We have to get this cleaned and bandaged before it gets infected." With that Gaara scooped Sasuke into his arms and they disappeared in a spiral of sand.
