Hey, everyone! Sorry for not updating sooner; I had finals in the month of January so I was really busy and didn't have the time to write the next chapter but...

Guess who the red haired guy was!

Disclaimer: I DON'T FUCKING OWN NARUTO, KAY?

._. LOL sorry, had to get that out in the most violent way possible. *Stares at hole in the wall* LMFAO JUST KIDDING!

REVIEW AT THE END PLEASE :D

"I'm sorry Gaara, I was barfing up tears all over your shirt," I apologized sheepishly, looking away as his intense light green eyes gazed at me calmly. Gaara was one of my more distant friends, since he doesn't hang out with my group and often hung around with his siblings, Temari and Kankuro. I haven't talked to him since the summer, when I had seen him around in the city shops with random girls and guys. I secretly fear him because of his mysterious appearance and demeanor, but I know him well enough to say that he is a safe person-

So far.

The muffled pounding of music from inside the Uchiha household drifted to my ears.

These fancy things

Will never come in between

You're my entity

Therefore infinity

When the war has taken its part

When the world has dealt its cuts

Together we'll mend your heart

He lifted up his pale and slender fingers and tousled his fiery red hair subconsciously, revealing the whole form of his peculiar " 爱"tattoo on his forehead, which meant love.

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella, ella ella ella, eh-eh-eh-eh

Under my umbrella, ella ella ella, eh-eh-eh

"It's fine," he said with a tired sigh, his intense stare sliding downward to the ground. A placid silence settled between us as we looked up at the stars in the thick, black, night sky. We were sitting on the Uchiha's neatly-trimmed lawn after the recent Uchiha fiasco. I scowled unknowingly, closing my eyes and resting my head on my knees.

When the sun shines we'll shine together

Told you I'll be here forever

Said I'll always be your friend

Sticking out until the end

Now that it's raining more then ever

Told you we will still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh-eh-eh

"You want to talk about why you were crying?" Gaara asked monotonously, his eyes never leaving the stars. I shrugged, not knowing what to say.

"It's okay you know. I mean, if you don't want to talk about it. Don't let it eat you up on the inside though..." I looked over at Gaara's face, startled. He's giving me advice? Talk about out of character. The supposedly emo boy telling me how to deal with stuff like this...not that he knows anything about it though.

A slow and genuine smile spread on my moon-lit face.

"Thanks, Gaara."

"Hn."

I giggled out loud, casting a glance at the quiet boy beside me before scooting closer to him, resting on his shoulder. I felt him tense up, but he relaxed just as immediately.

Forget Sasuke. If I had cute and secretly genuine guys like Gaara who got my back, why should I cry over some stupid and not-so-mighty Uchiha jerk?

Don't tell him I said that.

As if on cue to my thoughts, the hairs on the back of my neck prickled, and hesitantly, I looked over my shoulder at the Uchiha household. It felt like someone was watching me but there were so many people interacting outside and inside of the mansion, so I shrugged it off and returned my attention to Gaara's shoulder.

"You okay?"

I glanced at his iridescent green eyes.

"Yeah."

You can stand under my umbrella ella,ella, eh-eh-eh
