Forgotten Chapter 2: Smiles for a bad day

The silence of the hallways was deafening. And Naruto could only agree so much as he walked tiredly, looking for the specified room.

He sighed. Boredom just wasn't his thing . . . and without the others, he felt so alone . . . Unknowingly however, this simple release of breath of his had attracted a whole bunch of trouble.

---o---

Gaara was happy.

And for an entirely innocent reason.

It wasn't because he had scared the wits out of his annoying professor . . .

. . . Or because he had destroyed something or killed someone.

It was because of a simple thing really . . . a person actually.

Naruto.

His younger twin.

Was coming to this school . . .

His school.

He couldn't help the grin that spread on his normally emotionless face at the thought. His friends, Sasuke and Neji, looked up from their light doze when the air around them crackled with tenseness. Glancing briefly at their red haired friend, they quickly realized that the heavy air about them was caused by his smile . . . an innocent smile that made his face less threatening . . .

Shrugging carelessly, they remained silent. Waiting patiently for Gaara's reason.

---o---

SPLASH!

"Aah! Cold!" Naruto shrieked rather loudly as he stood freezing in the middle of the hallway with an upturned bucket beside him.

---o---

Gaara upon hearing his brother's voice, stood up and abruptly left the room, his two friends following after. The scene that met him outside however was not as he expected…

Tsuzuku

Q & A:

How does Gaara recognize Naruto's voice even after being separated for so long?

It's because he's stalked his own brother… damn my weird idaes….
