"Hey Blondie, what are you doin' here?!" asked a boy with purple markings on his face.

Naruto's head snapped up looking at Kankuro.
"IwaslookingforGaara" He mumbled, looking at the ground again.

"You what?" Kankuro asked, jumping down from the roof which he was positioned to get a clear view of the blonde haired boy.

"I wanted to see Gaara" Naruto said a little louder though it was still barely audible.

"You want me to take you?" Asked Kankuro walking towards Naruto unsure.

"Please" the blonde grumbled, straightening himself up and plastering his face with a smile that told the world something was wrong.

But before both did anything, Naruto collapsed.
Gaara's brother quickly heaved the boy into his arms and ran towards the Kage tower.
'Something s wrong. Must be some sort of an attack' He thought to himself as he began to pick up his speed.

Back in the hidden leaf, the Hokage was furius.

"What the HELL DO YOU mean by HE RAN AWAY?!?!?!?!?!?!" The blonde haired Hokage shouted. She had the copy-nin by the collar and was shaking him roughly.

"I want to know what you did and I want to know NOW!" She announced dangerously.

"Please Tsunade-sama, It may not be his fault. Naruto is in a very fragile state, nearly anything could have provoked his actions" Shizune said trying to calm the angered woman.

"What exactly is wrong with Naruto?" Sasuke asked, stepping back a little when he received a death glare from Tsunade.

Kakashi was finally released from his hold and he was wheezing, trying to catch his breath.
The circular room was filled with ninjas. Some of them being high ranking ANBU, chuunin and juunin.

"Explain the incident before Tsunade-sama is angered further" Shizune instructed, trying still to calm the blonde sanin.
"Sasuke was just commenting on his behaviour and he suddenly snapped. He still believes it was me" Kakashi said, looking guilty.

"I'm not too sure if it wasn't you Hatake! But I value his life a lot more than yours, so tell me what is it that your precious Sasuke Uchiha retorted at Naruto?" Tsunade asked angrily.

"I said that if he kept up his ridiculous mood, he probably wouldn't ever become Hokage" Sasuke sneered bravely stepping back forward.

Iruka was having a hard time understanding what was going on and frankly he wanted to know now.

"What the heck is going on. What's wrong with Naruto???" He asked trying to refrain from hitting somebody or something. He rarely got this frantic.

"He was raped by Kakashi. Or a Kakashi impostor." Shizune started but Tsunade continued. "The incident happened about two or so months ago but we don't know who did it." She gave a hard glare at Kakashi yet again.

"He's been mentally and physically breaking. He was in a fragile state and not thinking straight as Shizune said, he's young and naïve though he is Naruto, he was still raped and you must at least try and image a small bit of the pain and hurt he must feel to have it done by somebody he trusted." Tsunade said, sighing and leaning heavily on her desk.

"But I thought it wasn't Kakashi" one of the ANBU said looking at her through their mask.

"I told you, The rapist is or was and impostor. You see Kakashi at the time was on an Aketsuki trail with Gai, and he didn't return until about 2 or 3 weeks after the incident. But it wasn't made clear until Gai confirmed it. But what we need to figure out is where Naruto is" She sighed yet again and looked around the room tiredly.

"I want ANBU double-posted around all entrances to Konohana, I want team Kurenai, Azuma, Gai and Kakashi to search the Sand Village. I want five tracker nin to also be involved with the search. I want Kurenai, Azuma, Gai and Kakashi themselves to look for Naruto in the Village hidden in the Mist and the Sound Village if he isn't found in the two, check places he might run to. Jirayra will lead the chuunins, I will send word to some of the Feudal Lords and some nin posted around the different Villages. You must bring him back alive and Safe," She ordered, writing some stuff on the paper in front of her.

"It's not just because of who are after him, It is also about what is inside of him. In his condition it may manipulate Naruto, we have to save him."

A long way away, in the sand village, Kankura had arrived.

"MOVE, I'm here to see Gaara!" Kankuro said, pushing past the guards outside of the Kazekage's office.

Once inside he found Gaara meditating on his chair, looking out of the window and paperwork all done and signed on his desk. Unlike a certain Hokage's.

"Naruto's sick!" Kankuro announced, laying the blond haired boy on the table. He shoved off all the 'useless' paper off the kage's desk to make the unconscious blond more comfortable. Gaara snapped his eyes open and rushed forward, placing a hand on Naruto's forehead, he flashed a glare at the guards.

"Send more medic-nin now, and until they arrive do not disturb me!" his sand gathered around the door and shifted on the spot so it closed the door in one swift movement.

"What happened? Where did you find him?? Why is he here???" Gaara questioned not giving time for an answer.

Kankuro walked through the second door on the right from the entrance and emerged a few minutes later with a wet cloth in his hands.

"He seemed to be running away of running to you, but as for what happened..." He gave Gaara a pathetic look and then said " he fainted for no reason."

He took a seat in the large dark blue chair giving the blonde haired boy a sympathetic look.

"From what I can tell he was petrified. As to why he's here? I don't know. I'd guess it was
accidental but it just seems so impossible for him to have ran all the way from Konohana to here. Unless of course they were on a mission somewhere near" Kankuro murmured more to himself than to another.

-Knock Knock-

"WHAT?" Gaara shouted.
"I-I-It's the Medics. Kazekage-sama" one of the guards announced, pushing the door a little so the medics could enter.

Kankuro got off the chair and went to lean against the wall. He stared at his brother yet again, sighing.

"You really should be a little nicer, they're the 23rd guards this month" he said nodding his head in their direction.
"You, who shouted at them to let you in. Are badgering me about being nice?" Gaara said giving his brother an 'as-if' look before explaining what he knew to the medics.

Kankuro just stared off into space, thinking about what could have happened to a blonde haired boy, that wasn't afraid to take Gaara onto the battlefield.
'What could have scared him so much to make him run all the way here???'

The question was buzzing in Gaara's head aswell.
'Uzumaki Naruto, What happened?' he silently asked.

"Kazekage-sama, The blonde haired boy has suffered some metal and physical abuse, whether it was self harm or by another it's yet to be clarified, but we were wondering about something else." The medic said stepping towards the shocked red haired boy who nodded slowly.
"Was he in a relationship of any sort?"

"Why does that matter?" Kankuro asked, stepping away from the wall and walking up to his little brother. Who looked upset at the mention of a relationship.

"We found some bruising and a few fractures that suggest he was in a .. um.. shall we say in a rough sexual intercourse?" The doctor motion with his hands.

"You mean he was raped?" Gaara asked, glaring murderously the doctor.
Naruto Uzumaki, the boy who dared challenge him and actually beat the living shit out of him had been brutally hurt and raped.

"This is why it's better to kill" Gaara snarled. Looking at the innocent face that was now haunted.

"Just tell me if he's going to all right. At least if he's going to wake up" Gaara said taking steps forward towards the medic. The man swallowed hard, stepping back once but trying not to be intimidated.

"He should be awake within the week, but I'm not sure about if he turns out all right. He seems to have high blood pressure and his mental waves are off the scale. His heart rate is above average, too high to even look human actually, But if he can get over his attack then I would say he'll turn out just fine. There just something amiss in the picture that's all, and If I didn't know any better I'd say he was of the Gekegenkai blood, but like I said something is amiss." the medic concluded looking at his pad and flipping through some of the pages.

"So all we have to do is get him on a bed and let him rest it off. No medicine, and things right?" Kankuro asked grabbing his brother by the shoulder, and squeezing a little trying to reassure him that everything would turn out fine.

The Medic nodded, still looking at the papers on his pad but he was interrupted when it was snatched and thrown out of the room.

"Get OUT THEN!" Gaara shouted, his eyes glaring at everyone else in the room, scaring them half to their deaths.
Not needing to be told twice the medics and ninja left within seconds, leaving the room empty apart from the three boys.

"Calm down Gaara, We don't know if he was raped or not. For all we know, he could have wanted it..." Kankuro said, then realised how stupid it sounded.

"Forget it, that's ridiculous, let's get the blonde in a bed and let him sleep it off okay...Like the doctor said" Kankuro tried again, lifting the blond boy into his arms for the second time that day and left for their house, Gaara closely following behind.
Kankuro was unsure of himself. Weather of not he should disturb his brother.

"You don't really mean that comment about killing...right?" No reply, Gaara was too angry to be kind, his mind was racing.

"What kind of a sick savage rapes an innocent kid who always tries to look at the best in everybody. Somebody that tries to always help others, somebody that always wants to be helpful in one way or another. Always trying to improve so he can protect his village. What kind of a monster?" Gaara asked, completely lost in his thoughts.

"What Happened???" Temari asked, as she spotted her brothers enter with an unconscious blonde who looked pretty tired and beat-up because of some of the bandages the medics had applied.

"He was raped... Brutally..." It was a very blunt answer.

The curiosity had jumped off a cliff, it was replaced by a sickly pale look.
"Lets get him to a bed," She said, Carefully, leading Kankuro forward into one of the many rooms of the large house, but Kankuro stopped soon.
"What about all the guests coming tonight? Some high classed snobs coming' over isn't it?" He asked confusedly, looking from his sister to Gaara then to the sleeping blonde who seemed to be restless.
"Put him in my room, it'll keep him from being found out that he's here by some of the Konohana ninja, and I'll also be able to keep an eye on him." Gaara paused a little sighing. "I don't think he should return to Konohana. If he's running away from it, then he's a lot better off here...with Me."

Temari quickly nodded and directed her brother into Gaara's room. Mulling the last sentence over and over.
The walls were richly painted in crimson red, lighting the room was a few candles around the walls. A King size bed was applied to the room with ruby red covers that felt like Egyptian silk. So soft and smooth that it nearly felt slippery.
The room resembled what Gaara was always thirsty for. What Gaara was sacrificed for. What he hated, yet also desired with a passion.

Blood.

"So who exactly is it that's coming over again?" Asked Temari, getting herself a drink.

"The team leaders," Gaara said still looking out the window.

"Of what? From where?" Kankuro asked looking genuinely curious.

"Team leaders of Genins, We, the council and mostly the Hokage and I agreed to hold the Chuunin tests here this year." Gaara said as if it were everyday news.

"That's awesome!" Temari chirped, she was happy because it meant that she wouldn't be travelling this year to Konohana to take the tests and also it meant that it was in her homeland which was better than being in a strange place where everything was more or less different.

"I'm not worried about the tests, but I am about the Konohana ninja, Most of the ones taking the test are from last year and I'm worried about them finding Naruto," Gaara sighed, taking a small sip of his coffee. "If Kankuro is right, Naruto ran all the way from there to here without stop, and I don't want him to go back to what he tried so hard to get away from"

"You really feel protective of him don't you?" Temari asked softly, walking over to her younger brother and softly rubbing his back.

"He's the same as me. He knows exactly what I face, and what it feels like to be me, yet he acts so much different, I've killed for the most part of my life, yet he's build up an extended family. Something which I've already had, just too blinded by blood to see it. He changed me, he's what made me like this." Gaara motioned his hand around himself, emphasizing the words.

"Do you have feelings for him?...Do you love him?" Temari asked yet again softly, her
question filled with serenity.

"I've never felt the emotion Temari, But I just feel like I cant let him go, like He's a part of me..." Gaara didn't finish the sentence, he didn't want to.

"If you want to talk, I'm always here for you okay." Temari assured the red haired boy before quietly walking into her room to get some rest.

Gaara with the help of Tsunade and Jirayra had sealed the demon inside of him as much as they could, which wasn't much but gave him the ability to sleep without the fear of Shukaku trying to take over his body. If only for a few hours.
He crept into his room, and laid himself beside Naruto. He'd already been in his nightwear so he gently pulled the covers over himself as not to disturb the boy next to him. He turned to face the calm blonde, who was snoring ever so slightly. His emerald green eyes shimmering in the moonlight, as he dazed off into a dreamless sleep.

-Naruto's Dream-

"Hey, Naruto, come have Ramen with me!" Kakashi invited, pulling the boy along with him to Ichiraku ramen bar, and ordering three cups of miso-ramen, two for Naruto and one for himself.
"Kakashi-sensei, you'd never lie to me right?" Naruto asked slowly, not looking at Kakashi but at the bowl of half-eaten ramen in front of him.
"Why would I have to?" Kakashi asked, but suddenly the scene changed.
"Please stop! You can't...Please" Naruto cried trying his best to push the silver haired man away from him.
"You promised! You lied to me" Naruto shouted, and with a sudden burst of energy, he pushed Kakashi of himself, and started running, but he was on the floor yet again as he'd tripped over the root of a very large oak tree.
Kakashi was once again looming over him, pulling the scared boy on to his feet and pushing him firmly against the tree, pulling his hands high over his head and pinning the with one of his, while the other roamed Naruto's chest.
He parted Naruto's legs with one of his own, whilst kissing his neck and travelling back up to his mouth.
Naruto bit his lip then his tongue but it didn't work, he was suppose to say 'no' but instead he moaned. Kakashi quickly took advantage of the open mouth and darted his tongue inside, taking in every inch of the boys mouth. He pulled back a little, staring at the crying boy.
"Stop... Your hurting me... Please" Naruto pleaded, trying to free his hands, his sight dazed and his emotions mixing.
"It won't for long, I promise Naruto-kun" Kakashi declared, letting go of the boys hands just to swiftly rip his dark blue shirt off, just as he'd done earlier with the orange jacket. He ducked his head low, and started licking his way towards Naruto nipples leaving a wet trail of saliva from the mouth to the chest.
Naruto feebly tried to push Kakashi off, but he was quickly loosing his will.
"Why...why...are you...doing...this" Naruto asked, trying to refrain himself from giving in, still trying to push Kakashi off.
"Because," Kakashi suddenly paused, and Naruto turned pale as snow.
"Because, I like you, I like seeing you overflowing with emotion" He whispered, every word blowing a hot wisp of breath somewhere below his waist, and Naruto yelped when Kakashi swallowed him whole.
"Stop! Let me Free!" Naruto shouted struggling yet hardly stopping the man in front of him.

Time was fast forwarding itself, the moons position in the sky quickly moved away, and this time Kakashi had the blonde boy tucked under him on the floor.
"It'll just hurt a little, Your not weak are you Naruto?" Kakashi chided.
And without warning, he replaced his fingers with something quite bigger.
"Tell me then Naruto-kun...Does it Hurt?"
Naruto whimpered, tears falling freely down his cheeks, and landing on random spots on the jacket that was laid underneath Naruto.

Some time passed yet again and Naruto finally lost consciousness.

-End of Dream-

"Stop...please..." Naruto was thrashing around the blood red bed, clutching the covers with such intensity that his knuckles were turning white. "Naruto??" Gaara called out surprised. He grabbed the boy, by the hands and tried to calm him down.
The usually hyperactive boy was now looking straight up, eyes wide open and his skin covered in sweat.

"G...Gaara?" He asked confusedly.
Gaara hugged Naruto gently, whispering words of safety.
"Your okay, I'm here, just relax" the Kazekage assured.
"What are you doing in my bed???" Naruto suddenly asked tensing up, looking scared and paranoid.
