Yo!
Okay, sorry I haven't posted a new chapter in a while, I was having a family crisis, so this chapter was kinda written hastily, so please excuse any mistakes or dumb sentences.
Anyways, happy reading and please, pretty please! Review!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way, shape, or form.
Gaara's P.O.V
I have decided that the most beautiful thing in the world, is Naruto Uzumaki, sleeping. He reminded me of a cat the way he was curled up under the shade of the huge tree, and I could swear he was purring earlier as I stroked his hair. He was simply adorable, I had forced him to try wearing something other than that orange suit, and I have to say he looked much better in the black long sleeved shirt and baggy ANBU styled pants.
All the orange he wore before had distracted from his other and much better features, now instead of looking at him and recognizing him for all the bright orange, someone would recognize him for his beautiful blue eyes, or his good looks.
I was interrupted from my musings by a loud screech of, "Sasuke kun!"
I looked over to see a boy with black hair, wearing white shorts, and a dark blue shirt with fan on the back; be attacked by a girl with, was that pink hair? Oh, she must be that girl, Sakura, from Naruto's team. If I really thought about it, I remembered that she had been there when I first met Naruto.
I wasn't entirely interested in what was going on, and was about to return to studying Naruto, when I realized the girl's screech had woken him up. It made me a little mad, that this girl had woken him up. Naruto hadn't been sleeping well lately as he had been up very late almost every night training for the chunin exams.
When I heard Naruto's sensei had only just told him and his team mates about it, with it only a week away, I was furious. They should have been aware of it it they would be participating much, much earlier than that. My siblings and I had known for almost two months already that we would be participating.
I stared into groggy blue eyes, as they blinked and took in their surroundings.
When Naruto noticed the girl, Sakura, attacking the boy Gaara presumed to be Sasuke, he simply gave a sigh and kissed my cheek before standing up, me following his lead and heading over the Sakura and Sasuke.
I was a little apprehensive about it, but Naruto seemed perfectly at ease as he grabbed my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze as he must have sensed my hesitation.
"Hey! Sasuke teme, Sakura chan! Watcha up ta!?" Naruto yelled as he walked closer to them.
Sakura turned and looked at Naruto, she looked rather lost for a moment before comprehension dawned over her features followed by shock and surprise.
"Naruto? Is that really you? Where's your suit?" She fired off in rapid succession.
At her questions Sasuke also turned and looked at us, his expression remained emotionless, but I could see how his eyes widened a fraction and filled with surprise.
Naruto laughed sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, before pointing at me.
"Gaara said I had to try wearing something different today, and this is the only other thing I owned."
For the first time Sakura and Sasuke took notice of me.
"Oh, and who is Gaara exactly?" questioned Sakura.
Naruto looked at me for a moment, and then looked at the ground it seemed like he was trying to think about what exactly to say, they hadn't really agreed on a label for their relationship yet.
I decided to be the one to save him for a change.
"I am Naruto's… boyfriend." I stated, protectively, almost possessively as I stepped forward and placed an arm around Naruto's waist, pulling him back against my chest.
Sasuke's face finally betrayed his shock as he blinked, his mouth agape.
Sakura looked totally and completely shocked, she started to stutter incoherently as she pointed accusingly at Naruto.
Naruto though seemed to understand as he suddenly announced, "I go both ways, Sakura chan, I am bisexual."
Sakura still looked surprised as she nodded, accepting his answer.
Sasuke though, smirked as he stepped forward and giving a sly look at Sakura announced, "I see we have even more in common then I thought Dobe."
Sakura's head whipped around to stare at Sasuke for a moment before she fainted.
If you looked closely enough at her though, you couldn't seen the small trail of blood leading from her left nostril.
Sasuke gave a sigh of relief as he muttered, "Finally, I thought she would never leave me alone."
He cleared his throat and turned towards me.
"Thanks for unwittingly helping me get rid of Sakura, will she is a nice enough of a person, she still has way too much fangirl in her, for me to want to be around her." He explained.
I nodded, okay with the explanation.
Naruto squirmed in my grasp and I smirked as I let him go, as he stepped away from me he turned and glared at me.
I nearly chuckled, but instead, just smirked even more and reached out, running my hand through his hair.
I couldn't hold back the chuckle when Naruto let out a purr, and instantly flushed bright red and slapped my hand away.
Sasuke was staring at Naruto.
"Dobe, did you just… purr?"
If possible Naruto turned even redder before growling and stomping away.
At this Sasuke looked even more perplexed, this time directing his question at me.
"Did he just not only purr, but growl as well?"
I smirked and said, "Yes he did, now if you will excuse me I have a Naruto to tend to."
As I followed Naruto back to the tree we had been under before, I couldn't help but think about just how drastically my life has changed since coming to Konoha for the exams.
Not only was I able to have conversations with my siblings, I could talk to regular people in at least a somewhat normal way, and express most emotions.
I do have the desire to kill sometimes though, especially when someone it being a jerk to my siblings or Naruto.
Naruto says that's kind of normal, but I still can't kill someone, even when it's someone that has been rude to one of my precious ones.
As I leaned back against the tree, and Naruto settled down with his head in my lap, I couldn't help but thank whatever Kami sent me in Naruto's direction, he is my savior, my mate, and no that I have him, I can't imagine my life without him.
The end.
Okay, so whatcha think?
I want to know, what do you guys think the side pairings should be?
Anything goes, I will take any suggestions into account, and if I can maneuver the couple into the story properly and as long as the couple is realistic, for example, a realistic couple would be, Sasuke and Shikamaru, Ino and kiba, or even Temari and tenten. A non realistic pairing would be like, Jiraiya and Temari, Shikamaru and Konohamaru, or even Tsunade and Ino.
Now it's not necessarily the age differences, it's more like the logic of it all, for example Kakashi and Sakura is a perfectly acceptable couple in my eyes, as it is much more logical and, well simply easier to write and portray. Or even Ino and Anko, or Shikamaru and Kakashi.
So, yeah, please let me know any ideas for side couples in your review!
Also, I honestly do not have this story planned out, I am kind of writing things as they come to me, so any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Please Review!
