Chapter 25

The next day… the school was in the middle of a thunderstorm, so none of the students were allowed to leave their dorm buildings. Naruto, Gaara, Kiba, and Shikamaru were sitting in the lounge staring at the rain through the window.

"Today sucks for a Sunday." Kiba said.

"I agree," Naruto said. "Sundays are supposed to be sunny days, believe it."

"Hey, Gaara?" Shikamaru said getting Gaara's attention. "You're not used to rain, are you?"

"No I'm not." Gaara replied. "But I've read about it in stories and have always wanted to see it." He kept staring out the window. "It's beautiful."

Everyone stared at him. He kept staring at the rain, and then noticed someone out there. He stood from his seat. "There's someone out there!"

"What?!?!" The other's said in shock. They looked out, and also saw who it was.

"It's Itachi!" Kiba said. "What's he doing here?!"

Gaara ran out of the building.

"Gaara wait!!!" Naruto screamed, but he was already outside. "What's he doing?! He'll get in so much trouble, believe it."

-

Gaara ran right to Itachi.

"Itachi!" He screamed getting his attention. "What are you doing here?!"

"I found another demon!" Itachi replied. "I need your help."

"I know about Kyuubi and how to bring him out! You can't fool me!!!!"

"How did you know?!" He was a little surprised.

"Sasuke told me everything. Except for how to bring him out, but after my fight with him, I know you plan to use me to anger Naruto and bring out Kyuubi. So, find yourself a new hostage."

"I did." He smirked.

"Gaara!!" Gaara saw Sakura tied up to the flagpole. "Help me!"

"You monster!" He swung his fist towards him. Itachi grabs his fist.

"You won't be able to hurt me like that." He said crushing his hand. "If you want her, you have to do better than that."

Gaara pulled his hand back. Itachi charged at him. Gaara moved with a surprisingly incredible speed and kicked him in the side of face, sending him flying.

"H-how?!" Itachi picked him back up.

"As you said, sadness, hatred, love, control these emotions you can do anything." Gaara started. "My sadness for Sakura, My friendship –another type of love- for Naruto, and my hatred towards you. Makes me unstoppable."

Itachi stood. "Remember this, as long as Naruto and Kyuubi are one. I will always return."

"Yes and I be ready."

Itachi ran of. Gaara went to untie Sakura.

"You okay, Sakura?" He said untying her.

"I'll be fine." She replied. "So you can do anything now?"

"Only when the three intense emotions arise." He finished untying her. "You should head back to you dorm building."

"Way ahead of you." She kissed him on the check. "Thank you."

"No problem." He replied not really caring about the slight kiss.

She ran back to her dorm. He turned and ran back to his before Kakashi noticed.

-

He ran in and saw the others staring at him.

"What?!" He asked.

"What happened out there?" Naruto asked.

"Itachi tried to bring you out, Naruto. He had Sakura."

"Did you stop him?" Kiba asked.

"Yes, you guys don't have to worry about him for a while."

"That's good to know." Shikamaru said. "Oh and that reminds me, Lee called."

"How's Neji doing?!"

"Surgery was a success. He'll be back to normal in a few days. He's still feeling a little sick from the laughing gas."

"When will they be back?"

"He said they'll be back at the end of the week most likely. Am I still needed in the band?"

"Of course Shikamaru. Lee said he was leaving the band permanently. We still need you're help, especially with the song we're doing for the spring break tribute show."

"That's right." Naruto said. "All the old bands that got to the final round of the Battle of the Bands, and Kiba, Lee, and I did make the finals with three other bands. So Jounin might also play."

"Sweet," Gaara looked around for Kakashi. "He's must be sleeping, come one guys. We still need to practice that song; Spring break will be in a few weeks."

"Alright!!!" The others said.
