Don't own Naruto.. Gaara does
Vice Versa 3


Chapter 25: Finally?

Was he dreaming? It just had to a dream; a dream that he would wake up any second now and wish it was reality. This just couldn't be real. There was no way the one person he truly cared about was doing such things with him. He was unworthy of such attention.

Gaara closed his eyes tightly wishing he would wake up. When he knew that it wasn't a dream he couldn't help but give off a small smile. He looked down at Naruto who kept his eyes on him. Gaara gave him a small nod, just before he felt his member being taken in by a known mouth. Gaara pulled his head back along with a gasp. He could feel that gentle tongue exploring his most private areas.

Gaara kept himself up with his elbow; the best he could do was pull his head back and look at Naruto. He noticed how those amazing blue eyes looked back at him. Seconds after being taken in by those eyes he felt a warm hand take a hold of something else. This only managed to get Gaara to bite his lower lip to fight back a moan.

Seeing such a reaction Naruto began to tease Gaaras member by giving it small kisses. Naruto smiled as he watched Gaara truthfully fighting his noises back. Naruto licked the top of Gaaras member and finished it off with a small kiss. By this time Gaara was completely lost and gave into his voice. When his moan came out Naruto felt relaxed somewhere inside him. He needed to be assured that Gaara was enjoying this.

Gaara looked at the pair of blue eyes as he felt himself relax only letting his moan escape. In a blink of an eye he felt lips crash into his own. As he returned the kiss, he failed to notice familiar hands grab a hold of his member once again. Narutos hands began to pump on Gaaras member. The pleasure Gaara was receiving was something he couldn't describe there were no words that he could think off. It was beyond amazing.

Gaara moaned into Narutos mouth, he wished to not depart from those lovely lips. He raised his arms to wrap around Narutos neck as he did his best to deepen their kiss. Naruto smiled feeling those soft hands wrap themselves around his neck. He smiled in between their kiss as he picked up the pace of his hands. Not seconds after he heard a familiar voice.

Naruto felt Gaaras hips move at the rhythm of his hands, causing him to pull their lips apart. He gave a small smile to the boy under him, who only looked at him as if he had just been kicked. Naruto began to kiss his neck once again; he needed to claim him. A part of him wanted everyone to know that they couldn't touch him. Gaara was his and his alone; deep inside his heart those words were on repeat.

As Naruto made his mark, Gaara could only gasp and let those moans escape from his lips. His body felt as if he was about to explode. Such hands on his member and those soft lips on his neck; were just too much.

"Naruto…!!" Gaara called out to him. All he could say was his name. Gaara couldn't bring himself to finish; the feeling didn't let him speak at all.

Naruto understood him perfectly. He stopped giving attention to Gaaras member, but kept making small traces on it. He finished making his mark, as he led his lips towards Gaaras member once again. Gaara gasped as he felt those lips take in his member once again. That tongue teasing him, those gentle hands holding him. Gaara bit his lower lip, as he pulled his head back. He wasn't about to let go inside of Naruto.

Naruto kept teasing Gaara, and gave him small kisses. All that Gaara couldn't go on any longer. He closed his eyes tightly, as he opened his mouth but nothing came out. The words were gone, his voice was lost. He gave up when Naruto gave kissed the top of his member before placing it back into his mouth and playing with it, with his tongue.

Gaara gave one last moan, as he felt a part of him relax all of a sudden. His body felt weak, he had never felt so relieved. Naruto swallowed as he felt something warm go into his mouth. After doing so he removed his mouth and gave Gaaras member a small kiss. He heard a gasp but ignored it. Naruto licked his lips before going to greet a pair of beautiful lips.

He gave those lips a peck kiss as he smiled. Naruto pulled Gaaras shirt down once again having one last touch at his body. Gaara only looked at him, he was surprised by the action Naruto had taken.

"You…you…that…you…" That was all Gaara managed to say as he refused to move his eye sight from Naruto.

Naruto chuckled as he looked at Gaara. "Yeah I did; it was delicious. Thank you for the meal." Naruto teased Gaara. The only thing Gaara could do was blush, as he grabbed Naruto by his shirt. Gaara looked at him intensely, while Naruto looked confused and surprised at the same time.

Gaara pulled Naruto to face him, as he kept his eyes on him. Naruto gave him a look that asked him what, yet Gaara couldn't think of a reason as to why he had done such an action. Without thinking it over again he pulled Naruto into a kiss. Naruto gladly returned the kiss as he explored Gaaras mouth with his tongue once again.

Gaara mostly forced himself to pull his lips apart from Narutos and smirk. "I better have." Even if he wanted to sound angry, Gaara couldn't stop the giggle from escaping his lips. Naruto only smiled at him as he slid his hand down to Gaaras member once again. Gaaras eyes open wide as he felt that warm hand grab a hold of him once again.

Naruto chuckled as he went down to give him a peck kiss. "You don't plan on staying like this for the rest of the night do you?" Naruto smiled as he gave Gaara a second kiss. Gaara returned those light kisses, as he blushed.

"I will if you don't put them back on; you were the one that pulled them down." Gaara giggled as he raised his head forward to kiss Naruto. "You have to leave this the way they were." Gaara whispered into his ear, afterwards he bit it gently.

Seconds after Gaara felt warm fingers slide down his leg and grab his boxers. He helped Naruto rise up his jeans afterwards and gave him a smile. Gaara felt warm lips crash down to him; with a smile he returned that welcoming kiss. In the middle of the kiss, he pushed Naruto apart. Naruto looked at him confused as to why he would push him off like that.

Gaaras cheek turned red as he looked to his side. "What's wrong?" Naruto asked him, as he placed his hands under Gaaras chin and made him face forward. Gaara eyes continued to move around, avoiding Naruto. Naruto furrowed his eyebrows as he noticed Gaaras was not going to respond to him, Not only that but the fact that he wasn't looking at him.

"Gaara." Naruto called out to him, this time causing Gaaras sight to look at him.

Looking at Naruto, Gaara bit his lower lip. "It's just… just… it's…" Gaara tried to state but his words wouldn't come out right.

"What is it?" Naruto responded, as he noticed that Gaara had stopped talking completely.

"Umm… what about you?" In a low voice Gaara managed to say as he looked over to his side. "I…um… I… you… I should…"

Naruto chuckled, causing Gaara to stare at him, with a blush across his cheeks.

"No; hearing your voice was more than enough." Naruto smiled at him; afterwards he gave Gaara a peck kiss. "And tasting you. I did say that I wanted you." Naruto chuckled once again.

Gaaras blush only grew redder as he returned those small kisses. He knew Naruto was only playing with him. There was no way he meant those things. The only reason he didn't want him to return the favor was for the reason of being Gaara. Knowing that Gaara frowned; he knew that he hadn't stopped Naruto for the simple fact that he loved him.

Naruto didn't know what was going on in Gaaras head; but something about that only seemed to get him angry. He didn't want Gaara to think of anything other than him.

"I guess…" Gaara finally said, as he looked at Naruto with a small smile. "At least I gave you a small show." Gaara chuckled, as he wrapped his arms around Naruto.

"I wouldn't want you to go somewhere else; would I?"

"I don't think I could find someone better." Naruto teased as he brought his face down to kiss Gaara once again. Gaara gladly opened his lips to welcome Naruto. Their dance began almost when their lips met once again. Gaara ran his fingers through Narutos hair trying his best to deepen their kiss. Naruto seemed to understand his signal seeing as how he tilted his head slightly too only deepen there kiss.

Gaara began to wonder if he was going mad. He searched for those lips that were warm. The lips that brought him a joy he never felt before. Gaara shut his eyes tightly as he tried to show Naruto just how much he truly did care about him. Gaara knew, inside of him somewhere, that this could just possibly be their last kiss. He didn't know exactly why he thought of such a thing, the only thing he did was that he wanted to savior this moment for eternity.

Naruto felt the same anxiety as Gaara. He kissed the boy under him with such force that he didn't think he was Gaara breathe. Even so, he felt the second pair of lips keep up with him. Something about sharing this kiss meant more to him than anything. There was just something inside him that told him. Naruto led his hand over to Gaara cheek and began to caress it. He wanted to feel that soft skin. If he could he would try his best to remember every single detail about the guy under him.

Both guys felt their kiss as if it was their last one. A life or death situation; they wanted to savior the other until the final taste. None could really explain as to why they reacted this way. Their kiss went on without a break.

In the middle of their kiss, both guys heard the doorknob. Naruto forced his lips to depart from such wonderful lips. Gaara hated the person responsible for coming back. Why couldn't they have returned later? Even so, they both knew that none could move. They couldn't let anyone see them in the position they were in.

Before they could move, Kakashi opened the door with Iruka behind him. Naruto raised his head to look over at the two men. He gave them a smile. "You guys are back soon."

Kakashi chuckled as he looked at his watch.

"Naruto; we've been out for almost two hours. How is that soon?" Iruka looked around unable to see Gaara.

Naruto opened his mouth to reply to Kakashi. Before any words could come out, he felt someone grab a hold of his shirt. He looked down to see Gaara sending him a glare. Without any words spoken from Gaara, Naruto knew what he spoke.

"Yeah... you're right. Sorry." Naruto smiled; a smile that was directed more towards Gaara then Kakashi or Iruka.

Both, Kakashi and Iruka were surprised that Naruto hadn't responded to him in a rude way. This had been a first. "Okay…" Kakashi responded after a few seconds of silence.

"Naruto… where's Gaara?" Iruka finally asked.

Narutos eyes widened for a second before looking at Gaara through the corner of his eyes. Gaara looked just as surprise, and worried that they would find him in such a position. This caused him to grab Narutos shirt a bit tighter.

"Oh... Gaara, calm down…" Naruto spoke; it mostly seemed as if he was telling Iruka. Although he knew that he directed those words for Gaara. It seemed that Gaara knew as well, since he let go to Narutos shirt and looked away.

"He should be upstairs. I feel asleep when I saw him go up." Naruto chuckled.

"Great; I'll go get him." Iruka nodded as he headed up the stairs.

"I'll go wash my hands. Please do the same Naruto." Kakashi called out as he chased after Iruka.

Without a second to waste both guys got off from the couch. Gaara covered his lips quickly as he forced his sight on Naruto. Naruto feeling eyes on him returned the gaze.

"What… what was that for?" Gaara asked silently as he lowered his hand from his lips.

"What?" Naruto asked him in a small confusion.

"What just happened!?" Gaara raised his voice slightly as he refused to remove his gaze.

Naruto gaze a small smile. "It was just a kiss; and bit more." He chuckled right after. Naruto didn't know what to say, he himself didn't understand as to why he had taken such an action. All he knew was that he wanted to claim Gaaras his.

"Why did you do it?" Gaara asked with a bit of hurt in his tone. He should have known that Naruto didn't do those things to him because he liked him, he detested him.

"I was bored. I need something to kill time with." Naruto raise an eyebrow as if it wasn't that obvious. He took notice in how Gaaras eyes widen for less than a second. Naruto slowly made a smile appear on his face. "Don't tell me you liked it? Did I make you fall in love with me, from the service?" Naruto smirked. A part of him was dying to know if Gaara really did enjoy it. Although a second part of him hated himself for saying those words in such a way.

Gaara was indeed surprised with Narutos words. Yet what got him the most were the last two questions Naruto asked. He bit his lower lip; he hadn't fallen for him because of that kiss. Nor was it for the service Naruto had done. No. Naruto was far off; he was wrong. Gaara had come to love Naruto because of everything else, not because of that.

Gaara clenched his hand as he glared at Naruto. Slowly he let go of his lower lip and unclenched his hand. Gaara fought back the tears that were about to come out. Why was it that whenever Naruto was around he didn't mind that he wanted to cry? Even so, he didn't want Naruto to his tears this time.

Quickly before anything else Gaara raised his hand and planted his palm over Narutos cheek. As Gaara pulled his arm back, he felt it stinging with pain. He didn't need that pain to tell him that the slap was indeed hard. Gaara knew that Kakashi and Iruka would come down soon enough. Even so he kept his gaze on Narutos.

Naruto was taken back by the force that he received. His face had managed to turn away from Gaara and his cheek stinging with a hard pain. Placing his own palm over the cheek Gaara had just hit he turned to face him once again. Before he could speak Gaara opened his mouth first.

"Don't joke with me!" Was Naruto seeing thing? Gaaras eyes were shimmering right? Once again before Naruto could say anything he felt a breeze go by him before he blinked. Gaara had passed him, not touching him at all.

Gaara didn't' want to look back at Naruto; he didn't want to be under the same roof as him. He was correct about Kakashi and Iruka just as he got close to the door Kakashi and Iruka were coming down. Iruka seeing Gaara quickly passed by Kakashi and opened his mouth to call his name. Iruka stopped himself just after seeing a tear run across Gaaras cheek.

Gaara felt a warm tear fall from his eye, quickly he wiped it off.

"Gaara…" Iruka called out to him as he finally reached the last step with Kakashi right behind him.

Kakashi turned to see Naruto, who stood still in his spot. His hand on his cheek, he seemed frozen.

"Sorry; I'll be leaving tonight." Gaara said in a whisper. He couldn't even face Iruka; he just didn't want to be there. He opened the door quickly.

"Did something happen? Did Naruto do something to you?" Iruka called out to him, as he made his way over to the door next to Gaara.

"No…" Hearing Narutos name only made Gaara want to run away. "...He did nothing. It was me. I'm sorry for bothering you with my presence this weekend." Gaara stepped outside and took a few steps away. He turned and gave a small bow.

"Gaara, don't worry about it. Have dinner and we'll call your sister or brother afterwards." Iruka smiled as he motioned for Gaara to come back inside. Kakashi, knowing that he was not wanted or needed in their small conversation he turned to face Naruto once again. Naruto still remained in his spot, as Kakashi turned to make his way over to Naruto.

"No thank you. I'm pleased but I do think she'll be there when I arrive. There's no need to trouble you." Gaara forced himself to smile, as he looked at Iruka. He hated that he was sounding rude to one of the few people that he had grown to care about so soon.

"It's no trouble; it wouldn't be right if I just let you go. So come back inside and eat something." Iruka gave a small laugh as he turned to face Naruto and Kakashi for a second before turning back to Gaara.

"I know Naruto must have done something. I'll have him explain; I'm sure he's at fault here"

"No!" Gaara said a bit too loudly, seeing as how Iruka gave a small jump; this also caused Kakashi to turn, and Naruto to come back to earth and turn to face him. Gaara felt eyes on him, but he could mostly feel those lovely blue eyes looking at him. Gaara bit his lower lip as he looked up. Locking eyes with the blonde he turned to face Iruka.

"May I say something to you?" Gaara questioned as he shook the urge of trying to just run away. The last thing he, at least, wanted to do while being there was telling Iruka the truth.

"Go ahead; there's no need to ask me," Iruka responded with a small nod and smile.

Gaara nodded as he turned to face Naruto quickly then at Iruka. "I person I was always to talk you about…" Gaara looked down as he bite his lower lip. "…it was him."

Irukas eyes widen. I knew it. Gaara thought to himself. He knew that this was exactly what Iruka would do once he found out. He was probably disgusted with him.

In all truth Iruka was not surprised by the confession, in the way Gaara believed. He was surprised that Gaara actually said it out loud. This was really something that he didn't expect.

Iruka didn't speak a word; that was all Gaara needed to see. He gave a second polite bow and began to walk towards his house. Naruto hearing Gaara, was caught by surprised. He had talked to Iruka about him before? What did they talk about? He could easily asked Iruka to tell him, but he wanted to hear it from Gaara himself.

Naruto ran past Kakashi, almost pushing him off. He didn't bother to look back and apologize, at the moment he didn't care about anyone other than Gaara. Iruka seemed to have felt Naruto that he moved away from the door before anything. Naruto ran past him without looking back either. He saw Gaara walking away fast.

Gaara didn't want to be near there, he pretty much had confessed that he loved Naruto. Now how was he supposed to face Iruka or Naruto at school the next day? After all those things he had told Iruka on what had happened between the two. It just made it worse, if he knew this was going to happen he wouldn't have spoken a word.

Gaara sighed, and just has he did he felt strong hands take a hold of him, making him turn around. Looking he noticed Naruto taking a hold of him. Gaara taking noticed, pulled his arm back. "Let go!" He barked as he yanked his arm.

It seemed as if Naruto hadn't heard him. On the other hand he just held tighter to Gaaras arm. "You're coming back." Naruto stated as he began to walk back, dragging Gaara who kept trying to pull back.

"Naruto! Let go of me! I said I was going home!" Naruto stopped in front of their house as he turned to face Gaara once again. If Gaara didn't want to go back at least he could tell him what he told Iruka right?

"Fine. Then what did you tell Iruka?" Naruto stopped, he waited for Gaaras reply but thought that Gaara would find a lop hole in the question. Before Gaara could speak he opened his mouth once again. "What were you talking to him in private about me?" Naruto restated.

Gaara looked at him, surprised that he had spoke once again. He had already planned to reply to him in a smart way. Now, what was he supposed to do when the question on asked for something in specific? Gaara turned to look at the front door. He noticed that Kakashi and Iruka were talking. Afterwards he noticed how Iruka had turned to look at Gaara. He gave shook his head, in disappointment most likely.

Gaara sighed as he turned to look back at Naruto. He refused to respond to him. Naruto letting tired to waiting for a respond gave Gaaras arm a squeeze. "Tell me!" He asked once again.

"It doesn't matter!" Gaara barked as he tried to pull his arm back once again.

"Of course it does! It has to do with me!" Naruto returned that same bark, causing Gaara to look down and bite his lip. Seeing such an expression on Gaara only made him want to embrace him until dawn. He just seemed fragile as if the world was against him; for a second he remembered about the Gaara he met years ago. Naruto began to think that it would be great if this Gaara and the other Gaara were one in the same person.

"Not like…it'll matter to you…" Gaara seemed too whispered more to himself than speaking to Naruto.

"It does matter to me."

"No; it doesn't. It wont!"

"You can't decide that for me! Just tell me damn it Gaara!"

Naruto placed his free hand under Gaaras chin, making him look up.

"This must be tough for him." Iruka whispered to Kakashi as he noticed just how Naruto held Gaara.

"It probably is. Why doesn't he just say it then?" Kakashi leaned against the door facing Iruka and looking back at Naruto and Gaara as well.

Iruka shook his head once again in disappointment. "He can't. Its bad enough he believes Naruto hates him. Now imagine him confessing his love." Iruka sighed as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"It's killing him inside. I guess what happened while we were out was the final straw."

"And what was that?" Kakashi asked as he moved his head back to let it rest on the door.

"I don't know; but I can't shake off the bad feeling I have in my heart." Iruka clenched his shirt as he looked at Kakashi.

"How does that relate to the two?"

"I thought about them when the pain came… never mind; you don't get me."

"No; I don't. I don't get how you can get that; I, mean Naruto nor Gaara are your sons." Kakashi stood tall once, looking over at the two guys who were talking.

"The same way you got worried over Naruto a while back. Kakashi, you've been asking me how Narutos has been doing almost every hour…" Iruka gave him a small smile.

Kakashi was probably blushing as how he just scratched his neck and shrugged; their conversation was over. Both men knew that, but Narutos and Gaaras was not. Knowing this they only seemed to get more worried over the young boys.

Gaara looked up at Naruto with a pain in his heart. All he could do was stare at those blue eyes. They seemed to be calling for him. "Gaara…" Naruto called out to him in a soft voice.

His hand moved by itself when he began to caress his cheek. Once again he saw that glimmer in Gaaras eyes. Seeing that only made Naruto worry about him, he wanted to make everything better.

"No!" Gaara yelled out as he pulled his arm back and took a step back. Naruto shouldnt call his name like that. He shouldn't make his heart fluster. Gaara didn't want Naruto to give him the wrong idea. If he truly didn't care he should have never gave him those kisses, done things that made his heart only see him.

"I hate you! I really hate you! I hate you!!" Gaara finally yelled out as he took a step back.

The glimmer that Naruto had seen had just gotten brighter. Even so, the words spoke to him from more than a surprise. Anger started to boil inside him; of course he knew Gaara hated him. He knew it, yet why did it hurt him having it said to him from Gaara? Gaara just stood there, he couldn't move from the sudden action and words he spoke.

Naruto clenched his fist and raised it; he didn't want to believe that Gaara hated him. He was going to make him take those words back. Gaara seemed to just stay there, even though he noticed the way Naruto was. Naruto wanted Gaara to say something to make him stop, maybe have Gaara hit him instead. Something to make him stop, yet none of that happened. His fist was moving by itself now making its way to Gaara face.

The glimmer in Gaaras eyes never faded. He just stared at Naruto with those eyes, in a second he closed those eyes. Suddenly a hand took a hold of Narutos wrist. This stopped him from actually hitting Gaara. Naruto relived look to see who it was. He noticed Kakashi holding his wrist tightly. Slowly Naruto placed his hand on his side and looked at Kakashi.

Iruka was beside Gaara holding him by his shoulders. Gaara had opened his eyes when he felt warm hands touch his shoulder. His body had been pulled back a few steps. He noticed Kakashi grabbing a hold on Naruto, and Iruka on his side.

Gaara pulled away from Iruka. "Don't touch me! Damn it! You…hate…. All…! The three of you!" Gaara stole one last look at Naruto before he ran from them.

"Let's go inside." Iruka sighed before he spoke looking at the direction Gaara had run. Kakashi let go of Narutos arm as he did what Iruka suggested. Naruto looked at Gaaras back; he wanted to run after him. He had taken a step forward.

"He needs time alone, Naruto. Talk to him tomorrow." Iruka stated before Naruto began to run after him.

"But…"

"Let him go. You're the last person he wants to see right now."

Gaara stopped running when he felt that no one could see him. He wiped the tears that managed to escape. He couldn't bring himself to tell Naruto how he felt. Yet, he didn't need to say such things to Iruka. Iruka had no fault in it. Gaara turned to face back the direction he came from.

Taking a deep sigh he sat on a curved and placed his hands in front of his face. He should at least go back and apologize to Iruka about what he said right? But what if Naruto answered the door? He could just see Iruka the next day; it wasn't a problem.

Gaara took another sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. He looked back once again and gave a small smile. Iruka had protected him just now that meant he didn't hate him right? Even after knowing the things he spoke of were of Naruto he still cared. Even if just a little right?

Kakashi truly did care about Naruto. If he didn't there was no way he would have gone to stop him. Thinking this Gaara gave a small smile. "I wonder if he'll actually say it." Gaara wondered if Naruto would actually tell Kakashi he cared about him. Although remembered what they had done while talking about it, only made him cover his face once again. He shouldn't be thinking about Naruto right now.

Gaara shook his head and remained quiet for a couple of minutes. Finally he got up and turned to face the direction of Narutos house. He let out a loud sigh once again before making his way over. Gaara walked slowly, the longer he took to get to their house the less chance he would have of seeing Naruto right?

Naruto had gone into the house and just went to sit on the sofa. He covered his face with his hands as he let out a loud sigh. He couldn't stop thinking about Gaara. Not only that but just what had Gaara told Iruka in private?

Kakashi and Iruka only looked over at Naruto. Both men knew that Naruto needed to be alone for a while, to calm his self down. They took a seat on the counter while Kakashi looked over at Naruto and Iruka out the window. Maybe Gaara would come back, he kept hoping that. He couldn't help but be worried about him.

As Gaara walked a few cars passed by him. A black one went by a couple of times; slowing down every time they got close to him. Gaara just thought that maybe they were lost and were seeing the address on the houses. He paid no attention to it, even so he picked up his pace a bit more. He began to see Narutos house in view and gave a small smile.

The black care stopped just a house before Naruto and a man with white hair got out; Afterwards one with black hair. Gaara paid no attention to them, until both men stood in front of him. He began to go around them when he felt the white hair man touch him.

"Gaara right?" He asked with a smile.

"No." He responded as he pulled them apart to pass. Before he knew it the man with black hair pulled him from his shoulder.

"Look kid; just shut up and get into the car."

Gaara smirked as he turned to punch the man that just had spoken. The same man fell onto the floor and rubbed his chin. "Don't touch me!" Gaara responded.

"Touchy aren't we?" The white hair man responded as he quickly went over to punch Gaara in his stomach. Taken back Gaara gasped, managing to pull a kick into the white hair hands stomach.

The black hair man managed to get up and go behind Gaara. Grabbing a hold of his hair he pulled Gaaras head back and gave a smirk. "You have a pretty face don't you?"

"You're right he does. I wouldn't mind messing it up." The white hair man added as he formed his hand into a fist and punched Gaaras stomach hard.

Gaara gasped, but spit out some blood as well. He couldn't do anything seeing as how the other man held his head. He was smart enough to know that if he moved wrong it would only cause pain to him.

"What the fuck do you want?!!" Gaara finally spoke.

"Just a small chat with you. Now, get in the car." The white hair man spoke.

"Why not just speak out here; it's such a lovely night." Gaara responded with a small smirk. He got the right movements to his arm that he managed to push his elbow into the black hair mans stomach.

The sudden pain made that same man let go of Gaara, letting him move away from both of them.

"Stupid brat!" Just after those words the man made his way over to him, giving him a punch in his cheek.

Gaara ignored his pain and returned him the favor. He threw a punch into the mans face, afterwards a kick on his chin. This only caused the man to fall onto the grass area. Gaara gave a small smile. "Don't you dare mess with me!"

Being busy with the other man, Gaara had forgotten about the white hair man. Suddenly he felt something hit him behind his head. Gaara went forward as he placed his hand behind his head, feeling a warm liquid on his fingers. Anger rose from him, causing Gaara to place a kick onto the white hair man. He didn't stop there; he went forward to punch that same man in his stomach and on his cheek as well.

"Iruka…" Naruto finally called out as he rose from the couch making his way over to where Kakashi and Iruka were standing.

"What's wrong Naruto?" Iruka called out to him, somewhat relieve that Naruto had begun to speak once again.

"About Gaara. What did he tell you about me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Stop acting stupid!"

"Naruto! Don't talk to Iruka like that!" Kakashi said just as loud as Naruto, causing the young boy look up at the two.

"What?! You expect me to ask him nicely!?! He's only pretending as if he doesn't understand a fucken word I'm saying!!"

"Watch your damn mouth you brat!"

"Fuck!" Naruto bit his tongue. "Please, just tell me what Gaara told you." Naruto looked up at Iruka with pleading eyes.

Iruka gave reason to Naruto. He understood him perfectly as to why he was acting in such way. He looked up at Naruto, with just the way he looked, Iruka wanted to tell him every word. Even so, he knew that he was in no position to say those words, he knew that Gaara was the one that was suppose to say them. "I wish I could. But I can't, sorry."

Iruka looked down, while Naruto refused to remove his sight from Iruka. "Why? Why can't you?" Naruto looked over at Kakashi, who only gave hi a shrug. "Why can't I know?!?"

"I'm in no position to tell you. Gaara sh-"

"He won't say anything! You heard him!"

"I know; but you have to under-"

"I don't want too! I want to know what he told you!"

"Na-"

"Please... Iruka I beg you. Please tell me… I want to kn-"

"Naruto! If Iruka can't tell you that means he can't tell you!" Kakashi spoke as he softly hit the wall.

"Shut up! This has nothing to do with you!" Naruto barked back.

Kakashi opened his mouth but before any words could come out a scream was heard from outside.

"Kakashi!" Iruka called out to him, without a respond Kakashi turned to head towards the door.

"Gaara!" Naruto called out. Something about hearing the women yell brought a picture of Gaara in his mind. He clenched his fist as he ran past Kakashi and throwing the door open. Looking around to see where the lady was he felt his anger rise.

The white hair man brought himself up and looked over at Gaara. The black hair man by that time had gotten up and gave a smirk. Quickly he took Gaara and held him still. Smiling the white hair man, clenched his fist and returned to hurtful punches to Gaara. As the punches came a scream was heard. The white hair man turned to see the lady looking at them.

"Fuck! Let's get out of here!" The white hair man, said as he opened the back door seat.

The black hair man gave no reply but kept a strong grip on Gaara. Gaara felt weak from the punches he had received. He didn't know if he could control his body, he didn't want to try anymore. As he opened his eyes he noticed a familiar blonde.

Gaaras eyes locked with Narutos, as he opened his mouth. "Naruto!" Gaara managed to yell. The white hair man looked out to see Naruto running towards them.

"Shit!" He grabbed Gaara by his hair and pulled him into the car. "Hurry up! Let's get out of here!"

As Naruto reached the car, it speeded off leaving Naruto breathing hard. Looking at the car he began to run after it once again. He wasn't going to let them have Gaara, he needed to save Gaara.

Naruto felt his body hit the floor, as he saw the car turn the corner. Looking up he noticed Kakashi pulling him down. Naruto pushed him off as he got up. "What the hell Kakashi! I need to go get him back!"

Naruto turned to look for the car, but it was gone.

"You can't do anything about it." Kakashi slowly replied to him, as he brushed the dirt of him.

"But they have Gaara! We should at least try to do something about it! That's called kidnapping!"

"I know; we have to contact his sister and brother before anything takes place. So come on. We'll get him back. You saw their faces right!?"

"Yeah! So why can't we just go down to the station and report it!"

"Naruto; calm down."

"How can I?!!? They have Gaara right now! Didn't you see the way he was! Or how they grabbed him!"

"I saw; but being the way you right now... nothing will get solved. Iruka is calling them right now so come back inside we'll do something about it!"

Kakashi pulled Naruto towards their house.

"I can't just sit back! I have to go get him back! He's in trouble right now!"

"NARUTO! CALM DOWN!" Kakashi finally yelled out, causing Naruto to show a surprised face. "If I say we'll get him back; we'll get him back!" With a great force Kakashi pulled Naruto in front of him. "Now go get calmed down."

Naruto bit his tongue once again as he pulled out his phone. "It's easier said than done." Walking back towards the house he noticed Iruka on the phone. He looked through for Sasukes number and pressed dial.

"Hello?"

"Sasuke!"

"What is it now?"

"It's Gaara…!"

"You two got into a fight again?" A small chuckle was heard on Sasukes line.

"No... He's in trouble right now. I mean he just got kidnapped! He…"

"I get it; I'll be over there soon. Have you called his brother and sister?" Naruto could hear movement on the other line. With only that he knew Sasuke was actually coming over.

"Irukas doing that right now! Sasuke…" Naruto said in a low voice. The idea of having Gaara in trouble wasn't pleasant at all. He wanted to tell Sasuke just what he felt.

"I get it. Don't worry. Kakashi is probably on the case already right? Just calm down. He'll be alright."

No words were needed, just the way Naruto had called out his name had said it all. Sasuke knew Naruto was worried, not only worried but so many feelings in him were stirring up. "I'll be there in a few. Go inside and wait. See you there." Without waiting for Naruto to reply Sasuke hung up.

In seconds he was dialing a new number.

"Matsuri; met me at Narutos. Something's up with Gaara." Once again without waiting for a reply he hung up and headed out the door. Even if this was a bad situation, he was a bit glad it happened. Maybe this would help them realize just exactly what they were in each others life. Sasuke couldn't help but give a small smile.

He pulled out his phone once again and sends a text message to those that knew Gaara. After sending them he ran towards Narutos house.

"Yes; we'll be waiting. Sorry about this. It's my fault for not taking care of him right." Iruka said on the other line. After a few words from Gaaras sister he hung up. He turned to face Kakashi and Naruto.

"They'll be over in a few minutes."

"So? What now? How are you going to get Gaara back?!?" Naruto asked as he turned to face Kakashi.

"Just wait until they get here; then we can talk it over." Kakashi replied as he went over and picked up the phone.

"We can't talk about anything! We have to do something now! You don't know what they could be doing to Gaara!" Naruto said loud enough, that he was sure the people on the other side of the phone heard him.

"Send a few officers over to my house please. We just had a kidnapping happen in front. We have all the information needed. Please hurry." Kakashi talked a few words with the person on the other side then hung up.

"There they'll be here soon."

"It's enough with just you here! Let's just go and find them!" Naruto told Kakashi, as Iruka noticed Sasuke making his way over to them.

"Sorry to disturb but Naruto called me." Sasuke told Iruka as he looked over at Naruto.

"Just come inside; maybe you can help us calm him down." Iruka nodded as he kept looking outside, to where Gaara had been taken. Not seconds after he heard a call speed towards them. The breaks suddenly hit and stopped, caused Iruka to turn to face the car. Kankuro got out from his car as he hurried towards the front of the house. Kiba, who was in the passenger seat got out just as fast and went along with Kankuro.

"What happened?!?" Kankuro asked Iruka who just signaled him to go inside.

"Naruto…" Kiba called out to him, as he made his way past Kankuro and next to Sasuke.

Naruto had just noticed Sasuke and got up.

"Kiba. Sasuke. It's Gaara."

Kankuro hearing Gaaras name turned to face Naruto. "What happened to Gaara!"

Naruto turned to face Kankuro then back at Kiba and Sasuke. "They took him…!"

"And you're just sitting here doing nothing! You must have seen something right?!?!! We should be out there looking for him!" Kankuro yelled out.

Kakashi placed his hand in front of Kankuro and shook his head.

"No; we can't just be out there. We need the proper people on the job."

"I don't care about what needs to be right. Gaara is my brother! I need to go get him." Just as Kankuro finished; Temari walked in, with Matsuri, Sakura, Shikamaru and the rest of the group.

"Kankuro just wait; calm down." Temari said as he got next to him placing her hand on his shoulder.

"I guess…" Kankuro relaxed his shoulders as he heard Temaris voice.

Naruto looked at the two and felt his anger rise once again. "How the hell can you two just stay like this!!!? Gaara is your damn brother! You should be outside looking for him! How can you just stand there and relax about it! This is seriously a problem!"

"Naruto; you need to calm down." Sasuke said as placed his arms on Narutos shoulder. Naruto took his hand off as he glared at both Temari and Kankuro.

"Everyone please just take a seat for now." Iruka called out, as he noticed the police cars stopping in front of their house.

Kakashi noticed as he went outside to welcome them. Once outside he began to talk to them a bit before they actually went inside.

All of them had taken a seat, except for Naruto, Temari and Kankuro.

"You guys should be worried about him more." Naruto finally said to them as they turned to face him.

"We know Gaara more than you. He can take care of himself for now." Kankuro spoke while Temari just tried her best to stop her shaking. Even though she knew how Gaara was, she couldn't stop worrying about him. He was still her little brother. Knowing that something bad had happened to Gaara made her heart break into pieces. Still she had to be strong for Kankuro. She was still the older one, she needed more composure.

"You didn't see how he was when they took him! I did!" Naruto replied back at Kankuro as he clenched his fist.

"No matter what Gaara wouldn't give up that fast!" Kankuro glared at Naruto as he clenched his own fist.

"Fuck! They beat him and that's why they took him! Open your damn eyes Gaara was taken!" Naruto looked at Sasuke, who had gotten up along with Matsuri.

Kankuro bit his lower lip; he knew that no matter what happened it wasn't like Gaara to give up. Gaara was never someone to just give up; he knew he would find the strength somewhere. Kankuro wanted to believe that. He needed to believe it.

"He won't give them what they want! He has a reason to keep fighting!" Kankuro was right, Gaara did have a reason. He had to keep that promise of a life time.

"That reason wasn't strong enough! They still managed to take Gaara away! We have to go out there and find him before anything happens to him!"

"SHUT UP! Nothing will happen to Gaara. Nothing will! He's okay, he'll be alright!" Temari yelled out; as tears ran down her cheeks.

She wanted to believe that Gaara would walk in through that door any second. He would laugh at them for being so worried over nothing. Temari knew that was something that wasn't going to happen right now. She covered her face as she let out sobs. Temari felt her legs give up, she feel on her knees as he tears came out uncontrollably.

Neither, Naruto or Kankuro knew what to do. Seeing this all the girls went to try and help out Temari. Matsuri stopped herself from going over as well; she had something bigger to deal with first. Sasuke looked hard at Naruto, this was one of the times he wished that Naruto wasn't as dense as he put up to be. Walking over to Narutos side he placed his hand on his shoulder causing him to turn and face him.

"You really need to calm down! Kakashi is going to take care of it!" As Sasuke spoke Kakashi walked in, along with a pair of police man.

"Naruto; we need you to give a description." Kakashi said in a calm voice.

Hearing that sort of tone Naruto couldn't help but wonder just how Kakashi could be that way. He bit his lower lip as he shrugged Sasukes hand off him.

"Damn it! How can all of you be so calm after having Gaara been taken away so easily!"

"Being nervous wont get us anywhere; you know that very well Naruto. So just give us a description and we can start looking for them."

Naruto stayed silent as he looked around the room. He looked at Temari who was on the floor, letting her tears fall. At least there was someone beside him that was actually worried. No one else looked as if they were worried. No one, only him, he was the only one that cared on how Gaara was.

"You brat! Tell them already! I don't have your time!" Kankuro yelled out, taking a step closer to Naruto. How could this guy that Gaara didn't like be acting this way? He wanted to hit this guy, he was going too. Kankuro clenched his fist, glaring at Naruto. He had so many reasons as to why he should hit him, but he liked that boy for some reason.

No. He didn't like the boy, he only found him amusing because Gaara worried so much about having him steal his first kiss. Not only that but in a way it seemed as if Gaara liked the boy.

"Kankuro… you need to calm down too." A soft voice came into Kankuro ear. He looked surprised to see a young boy next to him, grabbing onto his fist. Looking at him, Kankuro took a step back and unclenched his fist.

Kiba knew perfectly when Kankuro was going to do something stupid. And this was one of the things. Without double thinking it, he went over to calm him down. Once he noticed Kankuro take a step back he gave him a small smile. He refused to let his hand go. Kiba kept both his hands on Kankuro hand; he knew this way Kankuro would be kept calm.

Naruto seeing Kiba go next to Kankuro couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He had no idea Kiba knew Kankuro, not only that but those two seemed to be more than normal friends. Naruto kept his sight on Kiba, afterwards he followed his arm, which led to Kankuros own hand.

"Kiba, you know this guy?"

Kiba was surprised; he had forgotten that Naruto didn't know about Kankuro.

"Yeah…"

"Then you knew Gaara was his brother?!?!"

"No, he just knew a had a brother; that doesn't matter to you anyways, brat." Kankuro responded for Kiba, plus it was true what he spoke.

"Kankuro; calm down please." Kiba spoke softly once again, as he gave a light squeeze to his hand. Kankuro bite his lower lip as he turned to face Kiba.

"Whatever; I don't have time for this bullshit. If you guys aren't going to try and do anything for him I'll do it myself!" Naruto said loud enough to cause Iruka to send him a glare.

"Listen you brat! We don't need you at all. Gaara can take care of himself!" Kankuro barked back at him.

"Well it doesn't look as if you care about him! You're all in your own damn world!" Naruto didn't bother to try and listen to anyone that tried to talk to him. He pushed Kankuro side, and headed outside. Without a second thought Kankuro, along with Sasuke and Matsuri followed him outside.

"Naruto!" Sasuke called out to him.

"Shut up! I don't see any of you doing anything!" Naruto turned to face them once again.

"You have you calm down. If not you'll do something stupid Naruto" Sasuke spoke to him in a calm voice. It wouldn't help if he used a worried tone either; he needed to calm Naruto down first.

"No! Gaara couldn't protect himself and with those guys who knows what they'll do"

"Listen Brat. Gaara can take care of himself. He doesn't need you; he won't let those bastards touch him!" Kankuro called out just as Kiba reached the outside to try and stop Kankuro in case he tried to do anything. Temari had gotten a hold of herself and managed to get up, slowly but surly. Being worried about Kankuro she went outside and held onto Sakura and Ino.

"Like hell he doesn't need me or anyone!"

"Gaara wouldn't lose to anyone just so you know! He's alright you damn bastard!"

"Kankuro! Stop it please!" Temari called out as she let go on the girls. She wiped away the tears running down her cheeks.

Kankuro turned to face her. "No! This bastard thinks Gaara is worthless; and we both know Gaara is nothing like that!"

"Look just shut it! Unlike you; I saw how Gaara was when he was taken. It was given that he was beaten and instead of bickering with you I should be out there looking for him!" As Naruto spoke he pointed out into the streets.

"Gaara has a promise to keep to someone important to him! He won't let that guy down, even if he has to d-"

"KANKURO!" Temari didn't want to hear the last word that was going to come out of his mouth. She didn't and she wouldn't believe it.

Naruto was surprised to hear that Gaara already had someone that important to him. He stayed quiet for a while as he tried to take that in. Knowing that, Naruto couldn't help but get angry, he was suppose to the only important one. That guy was so important that Gaara was willing to give his life away for that guy? So all this time he was worrying about him, they could have just called that guy up and told him to do something about it.

"That's just perfect then. Just call that guy and tell him to go save Gaara! He can probably be happy then after being rescued by him right? You can just keep calm then" Naruto clenched his fist, as he spoke.

Kankuro looked down slightly as Naruto spoke. If only he could actually do that, if only. "That can't be done!" Kankuro spoke loud enough that Naruto could hear.

"Then don't bring that guy up! If he's not willing to do anything about it, then why the hell is he so fucken important to Gaara!!?"

Naruto looked out into the street then over to Kankuro. Kakashi was inside speaking to the police men, were all these people really not caring about Gaara? That what it seemed like, no one cared about him no one dared do anything for Gaara.

"We can't alright! We just can't even if we wanted too!"

"Fuck!" Naruto said under his breathe as he looked at Kankuro, Kiba, then over at Temari and Sasuke. "Damn it! Forget this, if you all want to be so damn calm about it I wont worry about that bastard!" Naruto clenched his fist once again and bite his lower lip. He looked back out to the street once again then hurried back inside.

"Kakashi!" Naruto yelled as he walked through the door. Before Kakashi could open his mouth; Naruto spoke once again. "One of the guys had pale skin, shoulder-length white hair, and I guess two red dots as tattoos in his forehead. His eye color was vivid green. The second guy was dark skin, black hair tied up into a pony tail and black eyes." Naruto noticed how quickly the police man wrote down every word he said. They had probably gotten the idea that this was going to be the only time Naruto was going to say anything about what he saw.

"Thanks Naruto. See, now we can start looking for Gaara." Iruka smiled at Naruto, who just let out a sigh.

"Whatever just tell me when you guys get him back. I'll be up sleeping."

"Naruto!" Matsuri called out to him as she ran to be a few steps closer to him. "You can't say that you don't care about Gaara anymore! Not after the way you were acting." Matsuri seemed to be pleading more then just asking. Even so Naruto bite his tongue so he wouldn't do anything stupid. Gaara didn't need him to worry, he hated Naruto so it didn't matter if he was worrying over him right? Plus, Kankuro had just said he could take care of himself.

"I don't care. If he's dead or alive I don't care!" Naruto resorted back to Matsuri, as her expression changed from surprised to angry.

"What the fuck!!? Why the sudden change! You're all worrying over Gaara and now you're saying you don't give a damn about him!!? What the hell is your fucken problem! You… You out of all of us should be worried the most…" Matsuri trailed off as she noticed Narutos expression.

"Like hell I should worry about him. He has that guy to worry about him!"

"That's just called jealousy Naruto" Sasuke informed Naruto with a small smirk. Unlike Matsuri or Naruto, he had noticed that the police men had already identified who they two guys were and were on there way.

Now, all they had to do was wait, and hope that information came to them. While doing that, maybe they would get Naruto to finally wake up.

Kankuro, Kiba, and Temari had gotten inside to hear Narutos conversation start with Matsuri. Kankuro hearing that Naruto didn't care if Gaara was dead or not seemed to push his buttons.

Iruka placed himself in front of Kankuro before he took action. With a small worried smile he looked at Temari then over at Kankuro. "Please, just watch. At the moment Gaara is not your brother, just a person."

"What do you mean!? Gaara is our brother!"

"Yes… but in their eyes he is not. Please just hear those three out for a moment."

Temari seemed to have gotten the idea as she just gave a small nod. Kankuro still didn't want to let Naruto speak as if he knew Gaara. He wasn't going to let him.

"Kankuro, listen to Iruka. We need to hear this." Temari said softly enough to make Kankuro turn to face her.

Kiba, had no say in this, all he did was keep his hand on top of Kankuros. He seemed to have gotten an idea as to why Iruka said those things, but he needed to make sure.

"Iruka, you know what happened?"

Iruka turned to face Kiba and gave him a small smile "I know, and a lot more than you think Kiba. More than anyone..." With that said Iruka turned to face the three.

Naruto turned to face Sasuke and sent a glare. "Shut up Sasuke, I'm not talk to you!"

"No Naruto. I'm tried of hearing you bicker about useless things. I'm tried of having to see you two act like idiots whenever you're together! The fucken point is that right now you're jealous about that guy!" Sasuke got next to Matsuri as he spoke. He noticed Narutos expression change as he spoke, with only that Sasuke knew that he was right.

"Naruto, please open your eyes!" Matsuri called out to him once again as Naruto took a step back and into the first step in the stairs.

"You guys are stupid! Like hell I'm jealous of anyone! Gaara doesn't even matter to me!"

"Stop with your fucken lies!"

"You two should just shut it! There's no fucken way I'm lying! Gaara has the guy to protect him! He doesn't need me!"

"Naruto…" Matsuri began to speak.

"No shut up! If Gaara doesn't need me then let him go with that bastard!"

"Look if you have anything more to say just fucken say it! Stop running in circles Naruto!" Sasuke spoke loud enough to cause Narutos eyes to open widely.

"Fuck this! It's not worth my time, this is useless!" Naruto send death glares to both Matsuri and Sasuke.

"So you're admitting you're jealous of that guy? Sasuke asked him in a matter of fact tone.

Naruto looked at him for a second, he would deny it, and he was going too. He had the words perfectly to say, but something else took over him. He had forgotten what he was going to say, but his mouth still opened and words came out.

"Of course I am! That bastard managed to make him not give up! He's that important to him. Gaara doesn't care about anyone but that bastard!" Just as he finished Naruto felt like a fool. He wanted to cover his mouth and just leave. Yet, he couldn't do that, his feet seemed to have been glued his hands frozen. His whole body was frozen. All he could do was look at Sasuke and Matsuri, who both gave a small smile.

Matsuri was happy to hear those words come out of Narutos mouth. Those were words she wished Gaara could hear. Matsuri wasn't the only one that thought that. Sasuke seemed to be thinking that same. Iruka gave a smile hearing such words from Naruto made him think of Gaara. Those words would defiantly make him happy.

"What does Gaara mean to you then Naruto? How can you say your fucken jealous when you're going around saying you hate him! It makes no sense at all! Is Gaara important to you?" Matsuri pushed it a bit more in hope of finally getting Naruto to speak the truth. She wanted to hear him before she could say anything more and it seemed that Sasuke thought the same thing.

"Fuck!!" Naruto ran his fingers through his hair as he pictured Gaara once again. After saying those pervious words out loud he couldn't deny it to himself anymore. After so many times he fought himself from thinking such words they all came out so fast.

"I don't hate him! He means everything damn it! Gaara is my most important person! I feel everything for him, expect hate!"

"What about the guy from years ago then?" Sasuke added, giving a small smile. "Didn't you say that promise between you two was the most important thing to you?"

Naruto took a step forward and off the stairs. He opened his mouth but before he could say anything Sasuke spoke once again. "What about him? Are you going to forget about it? Didn't you say no matter what happened he would be the first person?"

"I know, I know! But this is different! Gaara would understand! He knows better than all of you! He'll understand that he's an exception!" Naruto ruffled up his own hair as he looked down to the floor. He knew Gaara would understand. If Gaara had found someone he truly cared about he would understand too.

"What the hell is he talking about?" Kankuro asked, he hadn't understood what Naruto was talking about. He didn't know why he kept saying Gaara so many times.

"Please think of Gaaras childhood as you hear him talk. Then you might understand him, those two are only trying to help." Iruka smiled at Kankuro. Temari gave a nod.

"You're too stupid." Matsuri said softly to herself. How in the world did Gaara end up falling for such a guy? How the hell didn't these two idiots figure out things earlier?

"I'm not stupid; it's just that… he's different." Naruto replied towards Matsuri. He had heard her perfectly on what she had said and he needed to tell her that she was wrong. He was not stupid... he wasn't stupid.

"You are! You and Gaara both! You two are beyond stupid! I hate you two for being like this!"

"Matsuri, stop it!" Sasuke tried to calm her down.

"No! He should be worrying about Gaara right now! But he says that he could care less then he tells us these things! What am I suppose to think!?!?" As she spoke she came to tears. Gaara was her best friend, and it hurt her having to see Naruto acting this way. She didn't want Gaara to be suffering.

"I shouldn't be worrying about him! Tell that other guy to worry about him! He's so damn important to Gaara. Gaara could care less about me!" Naruto clenched his fist once again. He didn't want to think about the other guy.

"I could tell him myself if you want me too! But I shouldn't be the one too!!" Matsuri said as she wiped the tears off her face.

Kankuro was surprised to hear Matsuri say such words. He couldn't stay quiet anymore.

"Matsuri!" Hearing her name Matsuri turned to face Kankuro. "You know where he is?!? Why didn't you tell Gaara before!!?! Why didn't you tell him when you first saw him?!!"

"Because I'm in no position to tell him… I don't have the right." Matsuris voice went lower as she spoke.

"Do you have any idea how much Gaara has wanted to see him? If you had spoken maybe this wouldn't have happened!"

"Great! Since you all know about this so important guy just tell him to go save precious Gaara! So don't get me in this whole thing!"

"You idiot!" Sasuke growled as he clenched his own fist. He had enough of Naruto being an idiot; there was a line on how stupid you could be. Naruto had just crossed that line.

Before Sasuke could do anything a loud slap was heard. Sasuke surprised put his hand down and looked at Naruto and Matsuri in a surprised look.

Matsuri had just enough about Naruto, he was making Gaara cry. If Gaara had ever heard those words he would have been hurt beyond words. She didn't want to see that. She didn't even think of what could happen when her palm touched Narutos cheek. All she could feel was the anger towards Naruto. That same anger had been put into her palm; her tears were burning of anger. She couldn't believe it.

Matsuri looked at Naruto with an angry expression as he took a step back from the sudden pain. Naruto was surprised that he had gotten slap, he couldn't find a reason as to why he had been. All he knew was that Matsuri was angry at him, for something that he didn't know.

"You're an idiot! I don't get you guys at all!" Matsuri spoke as her expression on grew angrier.

"What the hell!?! I didn't do anything for you to fucken slap me!" Naruto said.

"Keep your promise in mind you fucken bastard!" Matsuri told him, causing Kankuro to give a surprised look.

"You… you…him…Gaara?!?" Those were the only words Kankuro could speak; all the pieces seemed to have come together for him, but not for Naruto. Iruka hearing Kankuro only gave a smile. Temari couldn't help but let out a small giggle, as she covered her mouth. She couldn't deny that she was a bit happy about it.

"Yes that what she means. They've grown a lot since then haven't they?" Iruka spoke more to Temari in his question. Kankuros eyes only filled with more surprise. Kiba was the same as Kankuro. Kankuro had told him just about everything about Gaara, and now he met the one person Kankuros brother adored. He had known that guy for years now; and he had no idea? This was a day full of surprises and probably happiness as well.

"They have. I'm glad their paths crossed once again." Temari said in a tone that anyone could tell she was happy.

"You knew?" Kankuro turned to face her along with Kiba.

"You said she didn't." Kiba added, as he gave a light squeeze to Kankuros hand. Their fingers had somehow managed to intertwine when all was happening. This was probably the only thing keeping Kankuro from going over to where Naruto, Sasuke and Matsuri were.

"Of course. I'm your older sister. I'm supposed to know everything, even if you guys don't tell me." Temari send them both a smile. "I know just about everything about Gaara… and you Kankuro. I knew as to why you were so happy to come live here." Temari laughed slightly as she looked over at Kiba, who gave off a small blush.

"I'm happy for both of you. It was about time no?" Temari giggled as she gave a small nod. Both Kankuro and Kiba were blushing now. "But this is for another day right now it's about Gaara and Naruto."

"Yes; but I don't think Naruto has yet to discover it. And we are in no position to say anything, just like Matsuri said earlier."

Naruto kept looking at Matsuri then over at Sasuke. "I can't protect someone that doesn't want me to protect him. Gaara has that other guy!"

"And you won't even try to win him over?"

"How can I fight someone that knows him more than anyone?!"

"That guy… they haven't seen each other in years! You know more about Gaara then him!" Matsuri took a deep breathe before she spoke once again. "What if those guys try to do anything to Gaara? You'll just sit there and let it happen?"

"Of course not! I can't let them do anything to my Gaara! Yet what the fuck can I do?! Gaara is thinking of that guy when I'm thinking about him! I can't do anything!"

"If Gaara wasn't think about you then why the hell would he return your kisses!? Why would he try to clear things up with you when things were misleading?! Tell me why the hell he would do those things!!"

"When that happened he was probably thinking of that guy! He wasn't thinking of me. I was the only one thinking of him! Gaara already has that guy to care for him!"

"Wait Naruto. Does that mean you have feeling for Gaara?" Sasuke asked in a confused tone. All that was needed now was for Naruto to say those words out loud. Then everything would go smoothly. That was what he hoped for.

Naruto turned to face Sasuke, and ran his fingers through his hair once last time.

"Of course I do. I love him damn it! He's my most important person, he everything to me! I love Gaara! More than my own life!"

Hearing this Kankuro couldn't help but smile. I guess your wish is real Gaara.
