Yami and Naruto: Hey!

Sasuke: Yami does not own Naruto…I do *smirk* now go away

One week. It had been one week since the mysterious red head named Gaara had entered Konohagakure High school. It had been HELL. At first he seemed like an idiot and an easy victim so they all tried to bully him. And they ALL were sent (literally) flying to the nurses office. He proved himself to be a better fighter than Rock Lee, the best underage fighter in the country, and was in a tie with the other best underage fighter, Uchiha Sasuke. He was also as cold and smart as him. And his glare. OH THE HORROR OF HIS GLARE! It was just as powerful as the Uchiha's only intensified by his heavy eye-liner like tattoos around his cold aquamarine eyes. But still nobody could win against Sasuke…anyway, everyone feared him and no one dared get in his way. Seriously, that dude looked like the type to have 'DESTRUCTION' written on his forehead instead of 'LOVE'. Oh yeah, that too. He had this weird blood-red tattoo that was the kanji for love. He was also as pale as the youngest Uchiha, and there had been several times when he and Sasuke engaged themselves in an all-glaring contest. You could feel the tension between the two. After they finished they would simply stand up from table and walk away. Yup, he was thE MOST FREAKING SCARIEST THING they had seen. So much that they had started calling him demon, but this didn't affect Gaara in any shape, color or form. But still they all feared and ignored him (except for the girls who liked him and always tried to engage him in a conversation, not that they could).

Naruto pov

I woke up to hear loud, heavy steps come towards my bedroom. I sighed. It was my foster parent, Orochimaru. He was drunk. Not that he never was. He wasn't bad…when he wasn't THAT drunk. He always hits me when he is. Otherwise he's the best parent I've ever had….at least he somewhat cares for me. And he doesn't try to rape me. Not that ANYONE has raped me..just…attempted…anyway, my other foster parent is Kabuto, A doctor who heals me when Orochimaru beats me up. He also cares…a little but he does. And he gives me something to eat once in a while. Suddenly the door burst open.

"Wake up you useless brat, you have to go to school you idiot!"

"O-okay"

Orochimaru left my room as I started undressing to get in the shower. He looked at himself in the mirror. He still had a lot of bruises from last week. That was the reason of his absence in school. Just before he started a new year, Orochimaru got pissed because he slipped and dropped a glass. So he beat up Naruto so badly that Kabuto said he couldn't go to school for a week. He stepped carefully into the shower once the water was right. After his bath he quickly prepared himself and went downstairs. He grabbed his bag and walked out the door before the others could wake up(yes Orochimaru went back to sleep once he woke up Naruto). Then he proceeded to walk to school.

Normal pov

Once Naruto reached the school gates, he took a deep breath and walked in. He hurried to his locker, but before he reached it, he bumped into something, or more like someone. It was none other than Uchiha Sasuke. His fans immediately started to shout obscenities at Naruto.

"Watch it, dork!"

"What are you, blind?"

"You're useless, you made Sasuke-kun fall!"

Naruto whimpered silently, he hated being called like that. It was always dork, useless, dead-last and a lot of other things. He started feeling even more fear when he saw Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino approach him. He knew what was coming.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the useless idiot." Sakura said this while Ino giggled.

"I'm not useless!"

"Don't you raise your voice at me!"

Naruto felt something rolling down his cheeks. He soon knew that they were tears. He was crying.

"Look, the faggot is crying!"

"SHUT UP!"

" You idiot, I think I'm going to have to teach you a lesson."

As Sakura raised her hand, Naruto closed his eyes. He knew what was coming. He would be beaten up and humiliated in front of the school again. It was always the same, Day after day he would come to school to be bullied and ignored. H e hadn't committed suicide because of an old promise. An old friend. He dared open his eyes when he felt no pain. He was shocked with what he saw.

Red hair that ha hadn't seen in years, cold aquamarine eyes that were traced by heavy eye-liner like tattoos and a forehead with a blood-red tattoo that was the kanji for love.

It couldn't be…could it?

"Don't you dare touch him, you bitch."

Gaara was holding Sakura's wrist painfully tight. He's tone and murderous glare and aura mad Sakura quiver in fear.

"L-let me g-go, y-your hurting m-me."

"That's the idea." Was the redhead's response before he let her go. Then he turned around to face the blond who was on the floor. Everyone watched intently. Gaara was going to kill the new kid, of that they were sure. That is until Naruto spoke.

"Gaara?"

"Nice to see you Naruto." And then the most unexpected thing happened. Uzumaki Naruto dared to hug Sabaku No Gaara. This shocked everyone, especially when Gaara awkwardly hugged back.

"I haven't seen you in what? 5 years?"

"5 years indeed"

"What are you doing here?"

"I got my father to change me here."

"Rich bastard. Anyway I'm very happy to see you!" Just then the bell rang.

"Let me see your schedule!" Before the red head could reply, the piece of paper was already in the blonds hands.

"Hey! You have the same classes as me! Come on!"

And that my friends was what would be always known as The awkward reunion of Uzumaki Naruto and Sabaku No Gaara.

Yami: I LIVE!

Naruto: SHE LIVES!

Sasuke: Hey! What the hell happened to me after I fell?

Yami: Oh, yeah…well…you simply stood up and left to your class.

Sasuke:…

Naruto: Yay! Gaara remembered me!

Sasuke: When will there be Sasunaru action?

.Yami: Don't worry, grasshopper, be patient

Sasuke: BE PATIENT MY ASS! AND I'M NOT A FREAKING GRASSHOPPER!
