Naruto:
I blushed as gaara told me how he truly cared about me. He'd sacrifice anything for me and I loved him. He began at my collar bone again and I softly groaned at the feeling of his small nips and licks. I thought I could never be sad again. But then his hands began to slide under my shirt and I slightly jumped.
's-shit' I thought to myself. I could tell gaara was feeling around and I didn't know if I should tell him to stop. He seemed somewhat curious but at the same time scared and angry.
"W-What are these?" Gaara didn't looked up from my scarred chest and I couldn't look at him.
"There um..." I bit my lower lip as gaara began to trace each individual scars with his finger tips.
"Naruto." He said sternly.
"S-some are from when I was a kid a-and got beat up. While others..." I looked at Gaara's facial expressions. He seemed pissed. Not like I'm just mad. No he had the 'I'm gonna kill someone' face on.
"o-Others are from when...my parents were killed." I whispered the last few words. Not exactly liking to remember the time.
My ears drooped as I returned my vision back to the red head.

Gaara:
I felt sick. Just knowing that the scars, not all of them, at least one, of these scars came from someone I knew made me sick. An angry demon was not smart. I tried to calm down, for Naruto's sake. I would hate for him to see me mad. I counted to 10... 20... 30... A minute passed by before I could look up. Seeing naruto sprawled out on my bed, his shirt half up and scars covering his body I wanted to kill something.
To distract myself I tried to think of something, ANYTHING else... I had to get naruto away from me for a bit, so I could concentrate, but how?
"N-Naruto... I-I think you should go take a shower." not that he smells, I just needed to air out.
"O...ok.." he stuttered.

Naruto:
Gaara looked scared half to death. Even angry. And his tone of voice and the way he stuttered didn't help get my mind off of him.
And now he wants me to take a shower? Something seemed to be bothering him. But I didn't want to push it.
"O...ok." I stuttered. I lightly kissed him on the lips then slid out from under him, grabbing some clothes and left for the bathroom. In truth this would probably be the best shower I've taken in at least 2 weeks. When I lived in Jariya's apartment he didn't pay the water bill meaning no shower. And him leaving me alone without any money caused me to not be able to at least pay it. At my old apartment the water was cold and so I couldn't really have a nice long shower to. And trust me, when you have a tail and ears you want to shower to get rid of the dirt that get stored up.
Walking into the bathroom it took my mind off of Gaara somewhat. It was huge like I imagined. It had a shower and a tub that were separate, yet the tub could of have been used to take a shower. There was a mirror that was head to toe until it hit the counter and sink. The room was white and gold with some black and it was a great combination. But here's the best part. The holy throne. It was the perfect size.
Sighing thankfully I started the water to heat it up to the perfect temperature. Got undressed and walked in. Shivering in delight as it washed my skin.
That's when I remembered I forgot my shampoo and conditioner. I blushed at the thought of even asking gaara to bring it. I looked around and saw some shampoo. It must be Gaara's.
I hope he doesn't get mad if I use some...

Gaara:
I hoped Naruto would do fine on his own. I took a walk downstairs and saw Kankuro still passed out on the couch. I took a tall glass of water and then I was able to calm myself down. I looked at this realistically, there was nothing I could do now, but if Naruto ever recognizes that person, I would tear his insides out and shove them down his throat!
A bit more clam now, I headed upstairs. I could hear the shower running and I looked to his corner of stuff. I noticed a bad of toiletries with shampoo and conditioner in it. I figured he must have forgotten it and used mine, I didn't care either way.
Well, what if he didn't want to use mine? No gaara, stop it, you're just looking for an excuse to walk in on him.
I blushed. Then I grabbed the bag of bathroom supplies and walked over to the door. I opened the door a crack and called "Naruto? You left your shampoo and stuff out here, did you need it?"

Naruto:
I blushed at the sound of his voice and my ears perked up.
"U-Uh no Gaara. I-I used y-yours I'm hope our not mad" I stuttered. I don't know if it was just the thought of gaara being close to the bathroom while I showered or the fact that if the glass walls weren't fogged up from the steam that he would be able to see me but I was embarrassed.
I could almost sense the soft smile on his face.
"No Naru I'm not mad."
I softly smiled as i ringed out my tail, "Thanks gaara..." I whispered, I was happy. I get someone I love, a nice place to live, and he doesn't get mad at me...most of the time. And now I'm going to smell like him a bit. I blushed and turned off the water. I was about to open the door when I stopped.
"U-Uh Gaara? C-Can you step away from the door please?" I stuttered still slightly embarrassed.
"S-Sure." the red head stuttered and closed the door again. I got out dried off, as much as I could, and got dressed.

Gaara:
My bed wobbled under me in a familiar movement as I settled down in wait for my uke to emerge from the bathroom. He came out wearing jeans that were ripped and had holes in them and a pale yellow shirt that was so faded it looked like I'd it had been bleached. It also looked thin. He had his tail out, and when he realized he did, he when to go tuck it in, but I stopped him.
"No, you're fine in my house. I love your tail. I wish you didn't ever have to hide It." I whispered, petting his tail as if to prove my point. Naruto lifted his tail in eagerness to have it touched. It was so silky smooth! It was so soft, I wanted to cuddle with it! Amazing what some moisturizing name brand shampoo can do for a tail? Huh? I looked up at Naruto's eyes to see the familiar blush, but I noticed something different.
"They got your face too?" I asked. I felt a tear come to my eye; it slid down the side of my face. Naruto seemed confused at what I was talking about, and I cupped his cheek with my hand letting my thumb ghost over the scars that made whisker marks on his face.
"It was a prank." he said, almost crying. "They said I needed whiskers to match my ears and tail... I don't remember much after that; I think I passed out from blood loss." Naruto stammered.
I took one shaky breath and held him close to my chest.

Naruto:
I forgot to cover up the marks on my face! I usually do. I guess I feel almost to comfortable. Gaara traced his thumb over them and he started to cry. No don't cry gaara please... Just seeing gaara such a way made me want to cry.
I had gotten used to the beating prankings and such so I learned how to hide and store away all of my emotions and thoughts. But gaara made everything come out. He cared for me like no other.
Gaara pulled me into his chest and I'm glad he did. I began to cry in his chest, lightly holding onto his black and red shirt.
"I-Its okay naruto..." Gaara whispered to me as if he was fighting back tears.
"G-Gaara please don't cry." I said into his chest he just hugged me tighter, "I-It was in the past, s-so no need to."

Gaara:
"Naruto, I promise to protect you. No one will ever hurt you like that again! I promise!" I said. All my anger was replaced with anguish. It was painful to know that once upon a time my little Naru was passed out, god knows were, because horrible decided to cut him till he lost to much blood.
It held him until two things happened, one Naruto calmed down from crying, and two his stomach started to growl. I led him downstairs signaling to be quiet because my drunk of a brother would be a bother if he woke up, especially when you know he'll have hang over. I made us some sandwiches. We ate in silence, and not because of kankuro. It was just we had nothing to say to each other.
I tried to not stare at the whisker scars. But in truth, as sick and sadistic and horrific as this sounds, he looked extremely cute with them. I'd preferred that they weren't a reminder of what fucked up person did to his face, but they were really cute.

Naruto:
When we first walked down stairs I got a quick glance at Gaara's brother. They look nothing alike. And by the way he was sprawled out on the couch he seemed to not act like gaara either.
We had to be quite, if not he might wake up.
Gaara made some sandwiches and we sat down. There was silence, not completely awkward but it's not like we could talk and if we did what would we talk about? I ate my food and again my ears twitched when the flavor touched my taste buds. I looked up at my red head and saw that he was staring at me again. I lightly blushed and my tail just lightly touched gaara. In truth we were not that far away from each other. But we weren't as close as I wanted to be.
Gaara silently signaled me over to sit on his lap and I nodded and smiled.
Sitting down on him I blushed and lightly touched his lips with mine.

Gaara:
It felt natural, him sitting on my lap like this. Kankuro was passed out on the couch, Temari not home, we were fine right? Wrong. Dead friggen wrong.
"What do you think you are doing? And who the hell is that?" came the urgent whisper from my annoying sister. Her voice snapped me out of my fantasy world with naruto. I jumped at the words and naruto almost fell off my lap.
"This is my friend, the one I'd said to be nice to. He's going to be staying with us for a while." I was blushing like mad, but she was too busy sizing naruto up.
"A Kitsune? Really? And a boy too? Gaara, I didn't know you were gay baby brother. That's so adorable!" my annoying sister crooned.
"I am NOT adorable!" I hissed.
She began inspecting Naruto like she would a 5 star restaurant: looking for flaws.
"He's cute, but what do you see in him?" she asked.
"Temari, come talk to me when the wizard of oz has your heart ready." I snapped. I picked naruto up, his legs wrapped around my waist and I carried him to the hall. Then I set him down and we walked upstairs. He stayed quiet, what the hell was my sister thinking? And what did Naruto now think of her?

Naruto:
I rapped my arms around Gaara's neck and I softly smiled. This felt right. But then again when doesn't it. My tail swayed side to side and my cheeks had a slight blush. Everything was perfect.
"What do you think you are doing? And who the hell is that?" I jumped at the new voice. And since it was a girl I could only guess it was Gaara's sister. My ears drooped at her while I stared at her. For one thing she ruined the moment and for the second thing, I was nervous as heck now. I sort of wasn't sure that I would meet someone (that was awake) so fast. I couldn't speak.
"This is my friend, the one I'd said to be nice to. He's going to be staying with us for a while." I heard Gaara say with as normal a voice that he could muster. I tore away from the blondish haired girl to look at Gaara. His face was beat red it sort of made me want to smile, but then he said the word 'friend' and it dampened my mood more.
Gaara and his sister had a little fight whether or not Gaara was adorable, which might I add, He is, but then she started looking e up and down and I blushed more. To close for comfort.
"He's cute, but what do you see in him?"
I froze stiff. That's exactly what I thought. I'm not good enough for gaara. And she just proved it.
Gaara called his sister 'Temari' told her something back but in truth I wasn't really paying attention anymore.
The red head stood up, my legs wrapped around his waist and I rested my forehead on his shoulder for a bit.
When he set me down he grabbed my head and we walked silently to his bedroom again.
"I-I'm sorry for...you know. She's a complete bitch and doesn't know what she's talking about."
"It's okay Gaara." I whispered and he hugged me.
"I'll be back okay? I need to go talk to her." Gaara said a little angrily. He leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips. I kissed him back. And then, he was gone, back down stairs.

Gaara:
"Temari!"
"What?" she was trying to cook, she turned around from the stove acting all innocent.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? I told you to be nice!" I growled, id found out a lot of stressful shit today, and I was about to take it all out on my sister.
"Baby brother, I'm only trying to look out for you."
"I'm only trying to look out for him. I love him Temari!" I struggled to keep my voice from waking sir. sleep-a-lot in the next room.
"Nah-ah-ah, you don't know that."
"I do know that Temari. You really hurt his feelings!" I said. "He has self conscious issues as it is. Half of the people he's close to don't even know that he hides what he truly is, a kitsune, from the world. You know people accept anthro's in society as much as they accept one of us. If only they knew." I told her.
"So? Why do you care?" she retorted. I wanted to rip one of those blond pig tails out of her skull.
"He lost his apartment yesterday. His uncle didn't want him with a demon because we killed his parents. His uncle disowned him because Naruto stuck up for me, and now he had nowhere to go. Be nice to him, or else I will cut your lips off and shove them up your..." a snore from the living room cut me off. Practically steaming I walked away. Just to be a dick, as I passed my brother on the reclining chair, I pulled the lever to make it fold up. I heard a loud snore, he didn't wake up, but when he does, he won't be very comfortable.

Naruto:
I sat uncomfortably on Gaara's bed. I could sense a somewhat darker aura erupting and I could hear some of what was happening down stairs.
My ears picked up Gaara defending me and his tone of voice. I could hear him coming up the stairs and stopping outside of his own door.
I sat silently on his bed, back the head of the bed, looking down. I don't really know if Gaara's faimily will like me. Seriously I'm an anthro, there demons.
Gaara took a few steady breaths outside his door then came in. A nervous smile on his face. Why does he have to pretend to be happy and calm when I can tell that he's angry and stressed?
"You okay Naru?"
"Y-Yeah." I whispered. The red head came onto his bed and sat down next to me, slightly putting his arm around my shoulder and bringing me close.
"You know I love you no matter what any bitch says right?"
"Yeah I know g-gaara. And I love y-you to." I slightly cuddled up to him and he rubbed my back for comfort. There was silence. What were we to do now? I looked up at him.
"What now?"

Gaara:
"We could watch a movie?" I suggested. It would help us both calm down little. I could sense he really didn't want to watch a movie but having the TV on would help with awkward silences and possibly stop interruption from my sister. Plus, it would distract our minds, offer temporary relief from the problems we faced today.
Naruto said he didn't care what genre so I picked out the first movie I saw. I didn't know it was nightmare on Elm Street until after the credits.
I sat with Naruto on my bed, my arm around his shoulders, both of us leaning with a bunch of pillows between us and the wall.
It was then that I noticed Naruto had sweat on the back of his neck. About 15 minutes into it, where the blood pools out of the bed and hits the ceiling is when I knew something was wrong. Naruto looked sick.
He started to shiver again. My first thought was hypothermia. I just snuggled closer to him, and continued to watch the movie.

Naruto:
A movie? I sort of wasn't in the mood for a movie. But I guess it would be a change then our regular lets pass the time with kissing. I blushed.
Gaara put a DVD into his player and I was curious onto what it was but at the same time I didn't care. Being around Gaara, his arm over m shoulders, me lightly leaning on him, felt good.
The opening credits rolled through and my eyes opened wide. A horror. Why did it have to be a horror?
Even though the movie just started I could start to feel myself sweat and I was shuddering softly. Blood. The red copper substance. I felt like I was going to be sick.
Gaara brought me closer to him and I almost shrugged him off.
More blood splatter and screams. My body shivered more and I couldn't look away. I wanted to but I couldn't. Gaara looked calm, although he was holding me a little tighter.
It took one more scare for me to scream and cuddle up into Gaara's chest, tears almost into my eyes.
Blood, I hate it.
"Naru? What's wrong? Is it the movie? I'm sorry I didn't pick it out. Well I did but it was by accident."
"G-Gaara..." I whispered
"It's okay naruto." He rubbed my back, his voice feeling slightly confused. But who can blame him. He doesn't know everything on me just like I don't know everything about him.
I heard the movie click off and Gaara's helping words. He kissed the top of my head, just in front of my dropped ears.

Gaara:
He didn't seem to be responding to me right now, so I pulled out another movie, not a scary one I made sure, and plopped it in. it was the proposal, a comedy romance.
We didn't pay attention to the beginning; I only had it on for the noise. The silence was getting eerie.
"Naruto? What was wrong back there?" I asked him calmly.
"I..I don't like the sight of... b-blood." he stammered, hiding his face in my chest. I stroked his hair with one hand, the other hand, on the other side of me, rested on his knee, so I was sort of turned toward him.
"I'm so sorry." I apologized. I didn't know. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he shut it again.
"Is there anything else I should know? Like you're not allergic to anything? Or... have a rare disease... anything that I can avoid... like horror movies?" I asked.

Naruto:
I looked at gaara. I could see some worry in his eyes. I began to turn the gears in my head. Was there anything else? Well I know for a fact that there's a lot of things wrong with me. Like how I'm always nervous, or how I'm self conscious. Or even how I'm real clumsy.
But in truth nothing came to my head at that moment. Still some clouded things from the damn movie.
"N-No there's no allergies that I know of or r-rare diseases." I recited,
"But, I...I hate getting jealous and I hate when people get mad. But I mostly just can't stand it when someone gets mad at me. I'm sorry Gaara b-but I can't think of anything else right now..."
Well other than any thoughts of my parents that is.
Gaara's face turned somewhat still for a second, and then he kissed me lightly on the lips.
"It's okay Naru. I'm here."

Gaara:
Great. I let the sarcasm fill my thoughts in that one word. Jealousy I had no problem with. No chance of that ever happening. I swear right now I will never love anyone else.
But getting mad? I have the second worse temper in my family, other than my dad. Only his temper exceeds mine. Kankuro has a bit of a temper, and Temari just likes to set people on edge, but she can stay calm in the most deadly of situations... unless you call her a bitch.
I sighed.
"Gaara?" he asked me.
"Hm?"
"You ok?"
"Huh? What? Yeah I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about."
Some noise from the TV distracted us both. We didn't turn our attention back to each other. He gave a small laugh at the TV. I finally actually began to pay attention to the movie. It was at the part in the middle where the main characters accidentally ran into each other naked.
"Why are you naked?" the girl shouted.
"Why are you wet?" he shouted back.
Naruto and I both laughed. I was right about the TV lightening up the mood. After the movie, I went to put in another one, only to find Naruto was sleeping on my shoulder.
I gently carried him to the bed and settled him under the covers. I snuggled up to him.
It was about an hour later; it was way too early for me to sleep, when Naruto started to move around a bit. He murmured things in his sleep, something about Minato; I caught the word mom I think. Maybe the word dad, all jumbled, then he started shouting out subconsciously "NO! The blood, there's so much blood! Too much blood!" then he became incoherent into sobs and stared thrashing around in the bed sheets.

Naruto:
I was tired as the movie seemed to be ending. It was way better than that other movie, by a long shot. Plus gaara was warm and comfortable.
I rested my head on his shoulder, and I could feel my eyes drooping. And before I knew it I was asleep. In the beginning it was peaceful. Nothing. Just darkness. No dream, no thoughts, no magic butterflies or flashing color lights. Nothing.
But as I got more into it things started to shift and change shape. For some reason the setting that was appearing seemed familiar. Then people started to show up, tails and ears. Nobody judging me except some odd stairs that I imagined being sent to e. the looks I always got for being a kitsune.
I looked up from the ground, tail in between my legs, to see my mother. She held out opened arms toward me, her Fox ears showing proudly through her red hair and her tail swaying side to side.
"Naru." She smiled and I ran into her arms. My dad appeared soon after. Unlike mom and me he was a blond neko. I laughed when he tickled m stomach and kissed my forehead.
I smiled brightly. Everything was fine when I was with the. I wasn't effected by the stairs nor did I care what everyone would whisper about my mother and I.
I was happy.
But then, there were screams coming from different sides of me. My mother told me to close my eyes as I felt the motion of her running.
"Minato! No come here you can't-"
"I got to help them Kushina. Just save Naruto."
"But-"
"No Buts. Now Naruto. Open your eyes, "My dad said calmly. I obeyed only to notice we were somewhere slightly dark, "I love you Naruto, take care of your mother if...if something happens alright?" he kissed my forehead, and even though I didn't know what was happening I knew something was wrong really wrong. What was going on? Why were we being separated? I began to cry lightly.
"I love you Naruto."
"D-Dad..." I breathed out, "I love you to." And with a final kiss to me and my mother he was gone, running back to where some screams were heard.
I looked up at my mother, she was crying.
Before I could think we were running again, or she was running again. Sometimes swearing then looking at me apologizing. She muttered something like, they can smell. They can smell fear. But even if we were not to be afraid I could guess that whatever it was they could smell everything.
"Naru, it's okay baby were okay." My mother's voice was crackly.
"M-mom..."
"It's okay. Really it will be o-"
Before she could finish there was blood splatter and a light painful scream.
"Mom!" I screamed out. Blood. red. It was covering her body. No this...this can't be happening! She can't die she...
"Naru...I love you. Run!"
"No mom!"
There was a shadow creature. I couldn't really see. But he had red eyes and black long hair. everything else was faded but I couldn't care less. I was horrified and I could hear the screams still erupting around me.
Make it stop, make it stop!
"Run!" My mother said again but I couldn't move. I was horrified. What is that! It slowly started to come to me but before it got there it was kicked to the side.
"Naruto, Come now!"
"But mom..."
"She's already dead!"
"J-Jariya...She...she can't be she's..."
"Naruto. She's dead. But she wanted you to be alive!"
"But dad said to protect her he said to pr-"
"She's dead, your fathers dead. I'm sorry this is rough but the demons getting back up."
My eyes widened. Demon... I looked at the thing on the ground, licking the blood off of its fingers.
Jariya picked me up and put my over his shoulder, quickly running away. But I couldn't stop crying. Why would they do this? How could they do this? Demons...
"Na-"
My ears perked up at the familiar sound. "Nar-o"
"NARUTO!"
My eyes shot open for me to feel tears streaking down my face, Gaara holding me close to his chest rubbing my back slightly.
"Naruto please wake up. Just please wake up!" He screamed, his voice filled with anguish.
"G-Gaara..." I whispered out.
