Ch.2

A/N: Sorry it took a long time to update the next chapter, I was having writers block and I didn't know how to start off this chapter, and yes Gaara is OOC only because I didn't know how to write him as a bad ass. Unless this was regular Naruto, which it isn't so too bad. Sorry that sounded mean but anyways enjoy as I shut up now!

Gaara's P.O.V

I stared at the spot Kioshi was standing at not longer than five seconds ago. Who was she and why was she being so nice? She didn't even know who i was and if she did she would've known that I didn't deserve kindness; That I was alone, always alone. Then again I have Naruto who was always there for me, through the bad and the good. So I'm not entirely alone, but I know that I don't deserve the kindness Naruto gives me every day. He's even letting me stay at his house and he knows what I do...or used to do...

I stared at my wristband intently until I felt a hand clasp then squeeze my shoulder. I looked over my shoulder and saw Naruto

"You OK buddy?" Naruto asked me; I was still surprised that he would still care about me, about my concerns and how I'm holding up. Ever since I we were little Naruto has always been there for me. I remember the first time we met I was thirteen and he was just twelve. I came into Konoha looking for someone to hurt, a new opponent to fight, to kill. My mother had died giving birth to me, my family always told me that I was born to kill and that was what I was raised to do. I never had a friend, as all the children were too afraid to come near me. Parents always gave me cold stares; the children would either hide away from me or bully and torment me everyday. My childhood became cold but my uncle Yashamaru was there with me everyday and was the only person who saw me as a child who needed loving instead of hatred, or that was what he made me believe. My insanity began when my uncle showed his true self when he tried to murder me from the orders of my own father, the governor of Suna. My father found out that everyone didn't trust me and if they can't trust me they cant trust my dad. So my dad hired someone to kill me, and it was my own uncle, the very man I thought had loved me back. He taught me love, taught me to care and it was all just a lie. So on that night I went insane, I carved the kanji sign for love on my forehead, my imaginary friend Shukaku started to take over my mind and changed me. By the time I was thirteen I killed more people than I could count, I would kill for fun, to see the fear in the people's eyes before I would kill them, Shukaku was rather pleased as well and that was all that mattered. That was until Naruto came into my life and proved to me that what I was doing was wrong, of course it wasn't particularly easy since Naruto beat the shit out of me. After that I was sent to the mental hospital and stayed there ever since. I was just let out a couple weeks ago; I couldn't stay in my hometown where my father and siblings were at and it was clear they didn't want anything to do with me since they never tried to make any contact with me at the hospital. I probably would have to stay longer if it wasn't for Naruto; he would come over every visiting day and always called and gave me letters. I never told anyone from the institute because I was afraid that would make everyone think I was gay…I really didn't want the rest of my four years at that hell hole being full of more bull shit. But now I was now free and I could finally start over, starting with the people who didn't know me.

"Gaaraaaa?" a hand was waving in front of my face and I blinked numerous times before paying full attention to my hyper blonde friend.

"I'm sorry what?" Naruto groaned while rolling his eyes

"I asked if you were OK and then I was explaining how I was supposed to mail this letter to your dad for him to sign stating that it was ok for you to stay here and live with me and then we're going to this teen club where all of my friends go and I thought I could introduce you to them, since you want this fresh start and everything!" I gave Naruto my best smile, which wasn't much but I was still working on it. We started to walk to the post office and the thought of Kioshi started popping in my mind. She seemed fearless, she just went up to me and started talking right away and I would be lying if I said she wasn't at least attractive. I'm usually not attracted to people and I never thought a girl with black hair looked attractive until I met her. She had these big emerald green eyes and came up to my chest I think she looks cute and beautiful, if that's even possible. I still find it weird; I don't think like this ever so why am I feeling like this with her? Have I gone insane again? Do I need to go back to the institute? Good God please don't lead it to that!

"Gaara dude what is going on you've been out of it ever since…oh I get it heh, heh is it because you're thinking of Kio?" I rolled my eyes but my face was starting to get a little red

"Oh uh huh so it is because of her. Well I only have one thing to say Gaara" Naruto stopped walking and was looking at me straight in the eye and he looked a little mad "I really wouldn't like it if you went after Kio. She's not as strong as you think, Kio has been hurt way to many times and I don't want her to be hurt again. I'm not saying that I don't trust you with her Gaara it's just…I'm not sure if you're ready to do that just yet." I rolled my eyes did he really think that I would go after her? yes she was attractive but I didn't even know the girl. But this is Naruto that I'm talking about and he really cares about everyone, especially his enemies.

"Naruto I promise I'm not even going to check her out"

"I don't care about that!" he yelled making a few people stop and stare. I glared at the passerby's and they immediately continued on with what they were doing.

"Then what is it?" I asked in my still monotone voice.

"It would be cool if you guys went out but just…don't hurt her, physically or mentally. She's been through with so much pain…you should know what it's like. But even if hers is way different from yours you know it hurts." I scrunched up my eyebrows. It didn't even look as if she was in any pain…then again Naruto told me not to be fooled by her but why was she? So I asked Naruto

"There are tons of reasons but I'll tell you the one that everyone basically knows. Kio use to date this guy named Kana Akashi and they dated for a long time and for most part he was cheating on her with numerous girls, it really hurt Kio but she's pulling through. So if you do end up with her just don't hurt her and if you think you might accidentally then don't bother with her got it?" it was always weird when I heard Naruto being all protective over someone that wasn't me. Actually now that I thought about it Naruto has never talked about any of his friends to me, probably because he was afraid I might be jealous. He was of course correct, I was always jealous because Naruto was like me we both had the same type of imaginary friend but his made him stronger. Kids would still ignore him but he tried, he fought, he fought his friend, he fought to be someone, he didn't take the easy way out unlike me who instantly shed away from everyone.

"Gaara?" I looked over at Naruto and he had a horrified look on his face. I raised an eyebrow at him

"Yeah?" Naruto pointed at two people that was across the street. It took a minute to realize who it was until I saw their faces. Temari and Kankuro, why were they here? I live here now and I doubt that they want me back so why would they try and come to get me? No I wouldn't stay with them, I've been through hell for to long. So I turned to my best friend and looked at him straight in the eye

"How about we just go to the club, we can do everything else tomorrow right?" Naruto looked un sure but I think he might've saw the desperation in my eyes so he agreed.


We finally arrived to the club without having my siblings noticing me, which I was quite thankful for, even though the club's music was too loud that we had to shout to the peoples ears just for them to hear us and there was so many people that everyone was pressing up against each other and then I got lost because me and Naruto got separated but he found me once again claiming he found the "gang." Whatever that was I was going to find out soon.

"Gaara, Gaara! Come on I want you to meet my best friends" I finally came to a spot in the club where a both was that sat nine people…make that ten as Naruto was squeezing in as I just stood there watching everyone interact. They were all deep in conversation so I was surprised because someone started to yell at me

"Hey you Gaara?" I looked at a blonde guy that had his hair in a ponytail, his eyes were blue but not like Naruto's they were paler, he had eyeliner on and was wearing a ring with some kind of kanji sign that I couldn't make out from the lack of lighting in the club, he was wearing a suit jacket with a white V-neck underneath and some black skinny jeans with a chain on it. I remembered he asked me a question so I looked up at him with my eyes wide and nodded.

"I'm Deidara!" he shouted at me "Kio was just talking all about you" I looked over at the said girl. She wasn't looking back but I saw her cheeks were red, most likely from drinking…but her whole face would've been red if that was the case so was she…blushing?

"You're right Kio he is a hottie" I heard a male's voice say this and it was my turn to blush, not because it was a guy thinking it was hot but because Kio found me attractive.

"Don't shout it aloud Aiko!" she hissed back at him. She glanced over at me and her entire face went beat red, she tentatively waved at me and I waved back. "You can come sit with us you know!" she shouts at me.

"No I think it's better if I just sit" she rolled her eyes at me before continuing her conversation with…Aiyko? Ai…Ko…. Aiko? I think it was Aiko

"Hinata you made it!" I jumped a little, surprised to hear Kio screaming and by the way Naruto reacted to hearing the person Hinata's name. His eyes were lightened up, his grin got wider, and he just seemed happier. I turned around to see who could make Naruto look so happy and there was a girl walking in front of a boy who looked just like her. They had dark blue hair; and they both have pale lavender eyes that made them look blind…were they blind?

My vision of the two was blocked when Naruto started yelling and ran to hug the girl, whom was probably Hinata. Why does he look so happy with her? is girls the ones who control our happiness? Or maybe it's…

"It's sweet isn't it" I jumped a little but relaxed when I looked down at a smiling Kio. She pointed at Hinata and Naruto who were now leaving to the dance floor "it's sweet isn't it? Those two were just made for each other, to bad they don't see it" I raised an eyebrow at her. what did she mean? They were both embracing each other and are now dancing, or er I mean…grinding? I think that's what Naruto explained to me. So I looked at Kio and asked what she meant.

"You see they're not with each other because Naruto is to naïve and thinks that they're just friends but Hinata wants to be with Naruto but doesn't think he likes her back."

"Did you guys ever tell them?" Kio shook her head

"No" I scrunched up my eyebrows together, that's pretty mean to not tell someone this type of stuff.

"Why not?" I asked her, she sighed, which surprisingly I could hear.

"We all know that they have to figure it out themselves, it would be a great story for when they grow up and have kids and they can tell them how it wasn't so easy." I stared at this girl for a long time but looked away when I realized I was being creepy. Kio was something different, then again she's probably nothing like the other girls at mental hospital, which are the only girls I know so that might be why she's different. But it may be because she just seems different.

"What?" she asked I didn't even notice I was staring at her again. I shook my head

"Nothing I didn't realize I was staring at you" Kio started to blush and grabbed my hand

"Wanna dance?" I didn't have time to answer she already dragged me over to the dance floor and was at first just dancing while I stood there looking like an idiot.

"What's wrong? Oh you can't dance" she started to laugh "why didn't you say so here I'll show you" she turned around and pressed her back up against my chest. I started to tense up. This was how Hinata and Naruto were dancing; it made me feel weird as if there was something bubbling in my chest. I didn't know what to do but I swayed and followed Kio in rhythm, I didn't know where to look but for some reason I looked over where everyone else was. I saw Neji and Aiko were the only ones at our table but soon they both got up and went somewhere. What were they doing? I chose to ignore it and continued dancing until it was time to go.
