WARNING: Story may cause eye damage due to staying on the computer too long.

SECOND WARNING: I was just kidding. ^^ In this chapter, it will be based on Gaara's POV since he hasn't been mentioned a lot in this story, so DRAGON be happy, cuz this is dedicated to you. Gaara is ok and all, but I prefer the other characters...hehe. Enjoy!!

THIRD WARNING (YOU'RE PROBABLY SICK OF IT EH?): There will be flashbacks from later on in the chapters for IMPORTANT STUFF!!! There will be some SPOILERS for the story...not the series.

~Solitude~

Gaara stood out on the beach and his piercing eyes looked out onto the surface of the clear waters. He still had his big gourd that he always carried around onto his back, with some special memories contained in the gourd.

Blood from his victims and sand.

It's been so long since he fought. He was impatient, and wanted a battle. Blood...blood, he thought.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

(Deep into his thoughts)

Living with these idiots has done nothing to benefit me. Humph! Look at that annoying blonde out on the beach, do you think that he would ever come out of his ridiculous shell and start seeing things for real?

I'll probably laugh in front of his face if he did.

Poor Naruto. Poor Naruto. I feel sorry for him that blood rains from the sky pitying him. No wonder he has trouble with girls. Especially that Sakura girl.

I wasn't quite surprised when she cut her lock of hair when she was in the Forest of Death. Although it was sad to see all that beautiful long pink hair goes to waste. Sakura will never succeed, because when I first saw her I sensed fear in her.

Fear

It's obvious and clear to me that she and this other blonde want Sasuke bad. Sasuke

Damn, Sasuke! I found out that he was from the Uchiha clan that was destroyed by his brother, Itachi. Sadly, the little Sasuke was the only survivor that outlived them all along with his special Sharingan.

Two girls to pick from and he doesn't care.

Two girls

I think that Sasuke is going to pick on of them, after what happened.

Of course

Sakura or Ino

Ino and Sasuke are going out as far as I know. Haha! Ino and Sasuke.

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that those two were actually boyfriend and girlfriend. And I thought that Sasuke...Sasuke wouldn't even consider a girlfriend.

I guess I underestimated him.

Speaking of couples, Naruto and Hinata is the talk at the house. Whenever I mutter it under my breath it sounds kinda well mixed, concerning those two lovebirds.

Lovebirds.

Ridiculous, I shouldn't even say that.

Ever since their first date, the two have become inseparable. They would wake up in the morning and meet each other in the kitchen to make breakfast for the rest of us. Even though I don't come down often, they still make some eggs and ramen for me.

Me

I am Gaara of the Desert, and everyone dares not to even have eye contact with me except for my annoying siblings. I am so glad that they are out of my way, since they decided to decline the invitation, because they know what I would do to them if they decided to go.

When I first came to the house, I was kind of expecting more people, since the invitations go to everyone in each troop. Or maybe, they refused the offer.

Why did I even accept the invitation? When I received the letter saying that I have been accepted to live in this beach house for free, I remembered myself thinking that this offer was full of shit.

But then I found myself packing my belongings and heading straight to the place.

Why?

I guess that I'll never know, will I?

When I first met my roommates, my first impressions on some of them were obvious.

Sakura: Cute, but too self-conscious about herself.

Ino: Blonde, is a rival of Sakura in trying to be the first one to get Sasuke.

Naruto: Annoying...no shit.

Sasuke: Mysterious ever since that clan, and strong. (I sensed something powerful when I met him)

Rock Lee: Trying to discover himself...and has a crush on the pink-haired girl.

Hinata: Quiet, and shy. Has a crush on Naruto...sadly.

Neji: Recently reconciled with Hinata after the whole thing with the Hyuga family thing.

Speaking of Neji, I haven't seen him that often since his room is next to mine. He doesn't talk much like me, even between meals and outside activities.

An introvert like myself.

As surprising as I've been, since the beach party....Neji found himself a friend. I couldn't believe my ears because I just came in and went up the stairs when I heard a voice coming from Neji's room.

Sakura

I wonder why she was there, since Neji excused himself out of the beach party for being sick.

Right...........he was sick all right.

Same old Sakura trying to befriend the silent Neji. As if she could do anything...but I doubted her. In fact, for the first time I heard him laugh.

Laugh Neji

Hyuga Neji

Quiet Neji

He laughed

So the two became friends the a few nights before Hinata and Naruto's first date.

It just seems to me that Sakura was the only one who got through Neji. Amazing huh? Ha.

Anyway, another roommate that I found out about was Rock Lee.

I pity him, cuz the girl he wants is the one that he can't have.

"You want what you can't have," is the saying that he could use. And besides, instead of drooling his disgusting mouth, he has been spending much of his time with that Ino. I do know what is going on.

Ino tells Rock Lee about what to do to prevent Sakura from going near Sasuke and her.

Typical Ino.

Overall, the roommates that I have are annoying and stupid. I can't believe that I even accepted the offer.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Gaara broke his gaze on the waters and continued walking on the hot sand. He turned his back on the beach house and beyond the distance from where he stood and the house; he could hear yelling and fighting.

He scoffed and closed his eyes.

"Why did I even bring myself into this mess?" he said to himself as he opened his eyes again and then realized that the sun had disappeared under the horizon and the sky turned bright red.

Bright red like blood
