Disclaimer: Me no own Naruto. If I did…I would be with the hotness that is Itachi! *grabs Itachi plushie and hugs it to death*

Warning: has some suicidal tendencies and dark thoughts. And language. It also has some sexual related content in this chapter and possible later chapters. No lemons or limes. I don't write that stuff (my friend does).

BTW: Thank you so much to for the nice reviews! Hands out giant cookies with the Naruto characters faces (which includes my Itachi-chan!) ^__^ Scolds the others for no reviews, but is then attacked by the people who haven't gotten anything. Luckily, since she escaped the last time, she was able to evade them. And pulls out a dangerous looking flame thrower. (evil glint in eyes) "You should've run when you had the chance. MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" (starts up flame thrower) "Run, bitches, run!!!"

"This is Spicy Lime's friend yet again. I apologize on her behalf…"

"I'M NOT SORRY DAMNIT!"

"…anyway. She's not always… ok, yes she is always like this, but she's usually more blunt about it. So, I apologize and please do not sue. Thank you." (Cookie Dough shoves her hand on Spicy Lime's mouth so that she doesn't say anything she will not regret).

Now…onto the story!


Last time:

As the girls composed themselves, they saw the giant thing start flapping its wings and take off into the sky. It was circling them, slowly, as if signaling to them that they were its prey.


The giant beast cawed at the three girls and started to descend at a rapid rate, dive bombing them. Of course, they completely forgot that they were ninjas and didn't even think of using a jutsu to defend themselves.

When the monster saw them jumping away it just started scratching at the ground trying to find them. It was at this moment that they remembered and started to hit it with jutsus, which didn't work at all. The thing was made of fucking sand! So, they did the next best thing. They screamed and ran away, leaving a barely breathing Gaara from laughing so hard and a giant bird thing.

"Nice… heh… job, Naruto." Said the redhead. The bird thing just stared and cocked its head.

"Um…Naruto, you can stop with the jutsu now." Nothing. "Naruto. I said that's enough!" he said getting thoroughly pissed. The beast just cawed angrily at the boy and tried to eat him.

It was then that Gaara realized that it wasn't Naruto and started to run for his life.

"Shit! Naruto where are you???!!!" he screamed while using the sand to shield himself, but it wasn't working so well since the entire thing was made of the stuff.

After a couple minutes of defending himself, he heard laughing and noticed that the monster stopped attacking him.

"Oh…ha…holy…heh heh…crap! HAHAHA!! Gaara… that was…heh…hilarious!" the blond said while trying not to choke from laughing so hard.

"You should've seen your face! You were all like 'I'm gonna die! Oh no!' It was seriously funny." Sadly the blond that was speaking didn't realize that the redhead just happened to be glaring at him with eyes that promised a world of pain.

'Blood. Must see blood. Dead blond. Yesss. Must. Kill. See. Blood!!'

No, the blond didn't notice this until much later…


With the girls:

"What the hell was that thing?!" asked a non-stuttering Hinata.

"I don't know. I just didn't want to die." Said Kurenai who was out of breath from running.

"I think it wa--" Sakura didn't get to finish because screams were echoing through the town.

"NOOOO! Gaara, that doesn't go there! What IS that?!! AHHHHHH!"

"That sounded l-like Naruo-kun." The Hyuuga said worriedly.

"Don't worry. But, I wonder what that was about? Oh well. From what I can hear, he won't be able to move for a while and we can ask him anything we want." Kurenai said wisely. "Now. While we're waiting, why don't we go and get something to eat?"

They all agreed and walked off happily, oblivious to the fact that a blond was slowly being tortured and would have to go through serious therapy to forget what happened.


When the girls finally found Naruto, he had some serious injuries and looked like a bloody mess. It was pretty bad. When he was finally taken care of he had bandages all over him from head to toe. Gaara could do some pretty bad damage.

"What happened to you?" asked the pink-haired girl a little worried that he wouldn't make it through the night due to his severe injuries.

"Well, let's just say that I got into some trouble with Gaara. He didn't take my joke too well." He said with a small laugh that caused him to wince in pain.

"Well, you w-won't believe w-what happened to us N-N-Naruto-kun." Hinata said just above a whisper.

"Um…w-what happened?" he asked with a slight stutter. 'Oh, dear God! Please don't think it's me. Please don't think it's me!' he thought desperately.

"Well, some strange monster that was a cross between a vulture, snake, and a mountain lion. It was made completely out of sand. I don't know what it was, and I'm planning on researching it, but we saw it just after you were buried in the sand. Kind of strange, don't you think? Anyway. What happened? We saw you get buried under the sand, but after that, we couldn't find you. We thought that that bird thing ate you or something." The Jounin asked.

The blond got a little worried by the question but came up with a quick cover. 'I hope this works.' "Well, I was hiding under the sand when I heard something over head. When the sounds disappeared I decided to play a joke on Gaara. He got pissed and beat the crap out of me."

"Oh. You baka! Why didn't you come out and help us?!!!" Sakura shouted in fury while cracking her knuckles.

"W-Well, Sakura-chan. I-I didn't because I didn't know that you girls were there." He said.

She didn't believe him and would've killed him if it hadn't been for Hinata and Kurenai holding her down.

"Well, we didn't really come here to just yell at you. We came here to ask a couple of questions." Sakura said a little cautiously. She didn't want to get into trouble with the blond.

"Um. Ok. Go ahead. I don't mind at all." 'I wonder what they're going to ask me.' He thought.

"Well, N-Naruto-kun. We were w-wondering what y-y-you were doing with G-G-Gaara-kun." She said in a whisper that made the others strain their ears to hear.

"Yeah, Naruto, we want to know why you're hanging out with Gaara so much. It's kind of odd, considering he almost killed us." The pink-haired girl asked with the other two nodding their heads in agreement. 'Shit.' was the only thing that was going through the blond's head at the time.


Yeah, a kind of short chapter. Sorry, but I had to use this as another little filler. Don't worry. The next one will be muuuuch longer. Anyway… I wanted to have a little bit of comic relief for a few more chapters and then it will get serious again. Sorry, but my life really sucks right now and I needed to write something to make people laugh. But, it will get more serious as this continues. So, yeah. You know, I just realized that I have this whole thing about dark fics. I just can't figure out why. Kind of strange, ne? And I'm ok at writing them too. I'm not really that great, but… yeah. Well…I hope that you don't get too angry that I haven't updated in a while. And thanks that you have all read this far! I'm soooo happy.

Until next time. Spicy Lime.
