He seemed to freeze for a second before staring into my eyes. His finger twitched and streams of sand began to swim through the air.
"Brother?" he growled out between clenched teeth.
Not letting my smile drop I realized my mistake. Letting a small bit of Kyuubi's youki out I felt some of my features change. Just minor changes. Though I couldn't see it I know my eyes were now red and my nails were sharper. The marks on my cheeks would be more defined. I purposly made sure my back was to the Kazekage. As soon as my brother realized who I was he jolted, his eyes widening slightly before he began too stare off into space. I could sense the Kazekages confusion behind me, he also smelled of fury and curiosity. My brother quickly came back unto himself. The sand shot forward and began to move around me caressing my face, hands anything it could.
"Mother likes you. She says that I can trust you" He said in a monotone voice. he seemed confused by this but a small bit of hope was in his eye. Smiling I reached out my hand.
"Always." I said it firmly and let the yoki disperse. As he took my hand I heard a sharp intake of breath from behind. I knew the Kazekage couldn't hear us but obviously holding my brothers hand was not something that happened often. All of a sudden he was beside us and grabbing my shoulder. The sand that was still circling me shot forward towards his hand. Quickly moving away he hissed and gave a dead stare at my brother. Looking back to the boy I saw him glaring with hate at the Kazekage.
"Gaara, do you raise your sand against me?" The mocking and cold way he said that angered me, reminded me of Konoha
"Calm down kit, you can't lose control now. Let Gaara handle it. You don't want to be separated do you? Just stay close to Gaara and don't interfere."
Internally I nodded my head and just watched taking half a step closer to Gaara to that our shoulders touched. The Kazekage seemed to notice this and his head tilted in thought.
"No Otou-samma." Gaara replied stiffly. Trying to make him relax I gently brushed our hands together and it seemed to work. I was surprised to find out he was the Kazekage's son. Again though he noticed our reactions. His eyes darted between us.
"Come Naruto, we must go to where you will be staying." As he spoke he watched Gaara, almost like he was doing an experiment.
"Naruto can stay with me." It was the way he stated it in such a monotone way. This seemed to be what Kazekage was looking for.
"Why would anyone want to stay with you? Gaara, the one who loves only himself." It was taunting and seemed to hang in the air. Gaara began to shake sand began to cluster around him, pushing the corpses around. It was almost like they were writhing.
"Kazekage-samma, I would be very grateful to be able to stay with Gaara if you would allow it." I quickly inserted and bowed slightly to the the Kazekage trying to hide my hate and disgust for the man who treated my brother so. He stared at me for a minute before quirking an eyebrow and glancing at the corpses around us.
"If you would willingly live with him I see to reason to stop you, it will save me the trouble with the apartment. I am also interested to see the outcome of this." A smirk slipped on his face before he turned around and began to walk back the his office.
Smiling I turned to Gaara. I grabbed his hand, and I could feel a sandy texture.

I smiled and followed Gaara to his house. As we walked inside I sniffed the air. The only scent I got was Gaara's, so it would just be us. I liked that, no one else would be able to bother us. Happily I hugged Gaara and held him close. I would never let him go, he was mine. I could feel him leaning into my touch.

We stayed up late talking and learning of the other. Kyuubi seemed happy that we were getting along, and I wondered of there was something more I wasn't understanding. As we laid beside each other, out of nowhere the window exploded and the door was kicked open. Three shinobi rushed into the room, throwing kunai at Gaara. Sand rose between us and them stopping us from getting hurt but I was angry, they tried to hurt my brother, how dare they!
"Let the anger come kit, let it build, use it and rip them apart! They tried to kill him, the only one who can understand your pain, the only one who could ever love you!"
As I listened I felt my fury build, red coating my vision. When the sand wall dropped and rushed at two of the ninja, I looked at the third and he froze. Killing intent was oozing out of me. A tail of yoki appeared behind me.
"You were going to kill my brother." My voice had an demonic edge. Without hesitation he tail shot forward him pierced him through the heart, the yoki burning him. I just smiled, it was only fair that he died for what he was going to do.
"Good kit, that's right, it's ok. He was a bad man, killing him was a good thing. I'm so proud of you."
I purred at the praise and let the yoki go. Looking at the other two I watched them get squeezed to death by sand, blood flowing like a river before being greedily drank by the sand.
"You are the only one I will allow to touch me, you are the only one I will not kill." It was said so evenly, resolve in his voice, I just smiled and hugged him.
"You are mine and I will never let you go, we are bound by blood we have spilled and the demons within us."
Nuzzling his neck I pulled him back onto the bed cuddling close to him before falling asleep.
