Another chappy. Sorry it took so long. Hope you enjoy! - Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto either! Only this story.


-Uchiha Mansion-

Sasuke finished packing his clothes into a duffel bag and sat it on his bed. He still couldn't believe that the principal was punishing him like this. She could have just given him detention, and, besides, he hadn't really caused as much trouble as she said. Maybe she heard about his party and thought the same thing as everyone else.

Another thing, why was Gaara being punished like that, too? It made no sense. He was at the party, but nobody ever notices him. Not even Uchiha Sasuke knew he existed until the end of the party.

Sasuke frowned and headed towards the bathroom to get his toiletries. On his way down the hallway, he heard noises coming from his older brother's room. Not wanting any more scars he decided to avoid peeking in the room. At least, not until he heard a familiar voice say "Ah, 'Tachi-kun, that tickles."

The young raven-haired teen opened the door curiously. He froze when he spotted Uchiha Itachi on top of none other than Uzumaki Naruto. The two said boys discontinued their fun to look at Sasuke. Naruto growled, pushed Itachi away and pointed at Sasuke. "Hey, do you mind? It's rude to barge in without knocking!" Itachi sat there with a smug look on his face as he looked at his little brother.

Sasuke grimaced and shut the door quickly. He could have sworn he heard Naruto burst into laughter as he made his way to the bathroom once more.

Okay, I don't know about you, but if I had found my big bro and rival, half-naked, playing hide-and-seek in bed, then I would be severely scarred for life even after death.

Our scarred, even more so now, raven-haired emo boy finished packing the things he needed to and left as quickly as possible. If he forgot something he could always just come back and get it.

It was sometime after five o'clock that odd Monday evening as Sasu-kun stood in front of the apartment building Tsunade had mentioned. She had given the two teens the directions before hey left the office.

The building wasn't really that bad looking, even if it was several steps down from living in his mansion complete with a maid. It even had a pool. It was four stories tall. Their room, room number 410, was on the top floor. So, on top of everything, they had to climb a bunch of stairs, too. This was going to be such fun.

-Gaara's not so big house-

Gaara sat on his bed. His teddy slouched next to his leg on the bed, and his Mp3 played a good Atreyu song.

Panda boy's black sheets and comforter were stripped and put in a bag to take with him. Who knows? Maybe he'll need them.

He had four bags in all. One for his bed set. One for his clothes. One for his toiletries. And one for his other stuff such as his teddy and music. Kankuro said he would drive him to the complex.

Gaara wouldn't admit this to anyone, even teddy, but he was nervous. He had never spent a night away from his siblings.

"Gaara, time to go, dude. I have other things to do tonight. I don't have time to wait until you're done moping," Kankuro called from the front door. With a reluctant sigh, the green-eyes teen gathered his bags and walked out to the car.

Temari, Gaara's and Kankuro's older sister would have hugged him and told him 'good luck' or something, but she was at work. Gaara would miss her more than he would his brother. Of course, he wouldn't be gone forever, and he could always come visit. That helped.

The redhead now stood in front of room 410, panting and a little sweaty. It was a lot of work to climb three flights of stairs while carrying four bags. Kankuro had amusedly refused to help.

The door was unlocked so he went in, putting his stuff in the only bedroom, which had only a mattress and a few bags in it. Gaara frowned deeply and turned to go into the kitchen for a glass of water.

The apartment was funny in a weird way because it was trashy on the inside while the rest of the building was really nice and expensive looking. This made him wonder who lived here previously.

In the kitchen there were a couple of white, paint-chipped cabinets, an old refrigerator, a stained sink, and a handful of plastic cups and bowls. On the floor was linoleum but it was hard to tell what the pattern had been. The walls had peeling wallpaper with birds printed all over it. The stove was the best looking thing in the room. The rest of the apartment was in like shape. This would take longer than he thought. On the scarred up counter there was a pair of keys and a note that read:

Boys,

There is ramen and an envelope with money in the cabinet. Supplies will be brought over tomorrow so just use tonight for rest. I live in room 1 if ou have any questions.

Have fun,

Tsunade.

Gaara sighed, sat the note down, grabbed a cup, and got some water from the sink. At least the water was clean.

Gaara turned around and spewed the water everywhere. Sasuke stood, no wet, in front of him. They both glared at each other and Sasuke wiped off his face with a dry part of his shirt.

"Did you find the note?" Sasuke asked and Gaara nodded. How long had the other guy been here?

Also, Gaara couldn't help but think how sexy Sasuke looked wet and angry. That, however, was not a good thought. He was pretty sure that the Uchiha was straight. Sasuke had had a girlfriend. This all made him frown even more.

Sasuke blinked at the redhead, wondering what was going through his mind. He soon decided that it didn't matter and wordlessly went into the bedroom to change his shirt.


Cliffy! I know, bad ending, but I just wanted to get another chapter put up. please tell me what you think.
