FASH: My little sister is annoying the hell out of me right now! Siblings! -.-U

""-speech

''-thoughts

Gaara had spent a whole hour explaining to Naruto what siblings were, it was actually quiet comical, seeing a homicidal preteen talking to an adorable kid about brothers and sisters. (I hate my little sister!)

"So a sibling is someone who has the same mom and dad as you, or it could just be the same mom or the same dad, and the annoy you all the time and when you're the youngest they usually pick on you?" Naruto asked, Gaara nodded silently. "But you're brother and sister are older than you, but their afraid of you." "That's because I'm stronger than them." "Really?" "Yes." "Can you teach me to be strong like you?" Naruto asked, stars in his large blue eyes, Gaara gave him an odd look and shook his head no. "PLEASE!" Naruto gave him the all powerful puppy dog eyes.

'Their so wide, sparkly and teary.' Gaara thought with a sweat drop. (OOC eh?) "Okay."

And so Iruka found Naruto practicing martial arts moves with none other than Gaara of the desert! 'Oh my God! What on Earth is going on?' He looked at his little 'charge' who was punching the air, he was actually doing pretty good, and Gaara was watching over him like a hawk. 'Aw, how cute, now if only Gaara wasn't a homicidal maniac intent on killing all living organisms, except for Naru-chan.' Iruka blinked a bit, and blinked some more, was Gaara smiling? Maybe he was just hallucinating, that seemed very likely. Iruka just walked away, deciding that he needed more sleep, teaching all those kids was rather tiring, maybe if he had a nap his eyes would be working properly when he woke up.

Meanwhile, a certain fairy was watching Naruto and Gaara; the sand-nin was indeed smiling. "Oh! They're perfect for each other!" Said fairy squealed as she began to imagine multiple shonen-ai scenes. "Awwww."

Naruto looked around, he was sure that he heard a high pitched voice coming from right above him, he looked over at Gaara, who had a small smile on his face and was gazing at the sunset, it was turning the sky an odd colour, closer to a blood red than anything else. "You like seeing suns set?" Naruto asked, tilting his head to the side, Gaara glanced at him and gave a small nod. The looked at the sky, and soon it became dark, the first stars beginning to shine through the inky blackness of the sky. Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes sleepily, he quickly deposited himself in 'Panda Man's' lap and went to sleep.

The fairy, who we will now call..... Matilda, laughed at the stunned expression on Gaara's face. "It won't be to long now, I can sense this Gaara's feelings, he truly does love Naruto, and I know that Naruto is beginning to reciprocate those feelings, because Gaara hurt to, he knows what Naruto has been through, what he's still going through." Matilda sat herself on top of Gaara's head, not that he, or anyone else noticed she was complete weightless and invisible, and on occasion when a mortal could hear her speak, it was only because she wanted to be heard, or that the mortal had some kind of connection with her. "Well, time to put some of this fairy dust to use." She pulled out a bag from Only-God-Knows-Where and began to chant in a different language, pulling out some powder that was beginning to glow. "May the demon inside rest, so long as the one you love is near!" She finished in English, throwing the powder over Gaara, whose head suddenly shot up.

'I still feel the presents of Shukaku, but he isn't gnawing at the back of my mind, telling me to kill, he's silent....' Gaara was shocked to say the least, that the constant whispers in his mind were silenced all of a sudden. 'I'd better go home, but, what about Naruto?' He looked down on the demon child, who was really more angel like than anything else. 'I'll bring him with me.' And Gaara brought him home, Temari and Kankuro were already asleep, so Gaara laid down in his bed, cradling Naruto protectively in his arms. And that night, for the first time in years, Gaara slept.

Iruka was in an uproar, Naruto had not come home last night! What if Gaara killed him! Kakashi had come in, finding Iruka muttering to himself. "My baby, where's my baby?" And had, regrettably, started helping the hysterical young man. And now he was paying for it, by being dragged all around the town by Iruka, who was screaming for his baby.

Gaara awoke late in the day, Naruto seemed to get up right after him. "Hiiiiii Panda Man." He yawned sleepily, rubbing at his eyes, Gaara was just going into shock, he had slept, and he hadn't, to his knowledge, gone on some kind of murderous rampage.

Naruto looked up at Gaara with interest. 'His eyes sure are wide.' "What's wrong?" Gaara just stared at nothing in particular, except maybe a wall. 'I slept, and I didn't kill anyone, and I feel no homicidal urges.....' To say Gaara was confused would be an understatement. 'I was just around the Fox Kit and.... What if being around Naruto is suppressing Shukaku?' He looked at Naruto with wonder.

Naruto stared right back at him, before slowly lifting up his hand and poking Gaara in the nose. Gaara crossed his eyes to see the finger on his nose and Naruto giggled.

'I think Naruto should get out a bit more.' Gaara thought with a very uncharacteristic sweat drop as he took hold of Naruto's hand began dragging him out of the house.

When Iruka saw Naruto and Gaara, calmly walking down the street, hand in hand, he did one thing, flip out. "NARUTOOOOOO!" He rushed up and grabbed Naruto, dragging him away from the surprised Gaara, who instantly felt the affects of Naruto being to far from him. The whispers that had once been silent came back full force, Shukaku was thirsty for blood and Gaara couldn't resist the urge much longer.

Naruto looked back at Gaara and saw the stressed look on Gaara's face. "Iruke-onee-chan, I think Panda Man needs help." He said, pointing to the boy who was now holding his head in his hands, grinding his teeth together. Naruto quickly slipped his hand out if Iruka's firm grip and ran back to Gaara, glomping onto the sand-nin's knees.

As soon as Naruto latched onto him the voice of Gaara's inner demon faded away into nothing, the whispers were still there, but they were covered up, unheard for now. "Are you okay Panda Man?" Naruto asked worriedly as he looked up at Gaara with large cerulean eyes. "You're not dieing are you?" Gaara almost felt the urge to chuckle, almost, but he settled for just shaking his head no. "Good, I couldn't stand it if you left me Gaara." Naruto let go off Gaara's legs and looked up at him in determination. "I'll never let anything bad happen to you!"

Iruka was just gaping at what was going on in front of him, he'd only seen Naruto this determined when he was talking about becoming Hokage, and even then, most of the times he stated it whenever someone made fun of him, this new determination was unprovoked. 'Maybe Gaara's a good influence on him.' He thought, before noticing that along the line of searching he had lost Kakashi. 'Where did the pervert go?' The Chunnin teacher sighed as he went to look for his silver haired, mask wearing companion.

Gaara looked down at the little Fox Kit, Naruto was swearing to protect him? It should really be the other way around, but who was he to crush the dreams of an innocent child? 'Naruto, you're so.... Prefect. And you accept me, soon we'll be together, I promise.'

Naruto was looking up into Gaara's green eyes. 'His eyes are so sad, why is Gaara so sad? I want him to be happy.' Naruto's eyes started tearing up. 'I know the sadness in his eyes, he's gone through the same things as me, hasn't he?'

Gaara looked down as Naruto's eyes began to water and overflow with tears and began to panic, although if you didn't know him well enough, you would think he was unemotional as ever. 'What do I do?' He remembered once when he was younger, before his father began trying to kill him, he had gotten hurt and Temari came a wrapped her arms around him, trying to comfort him, she had called it a hug, he'd only had one hug before, but it had made him feel better. So slowly Gaara knelt down and embraced Naruto, who seemed to go rigid at first, but then relaxed in his arms and began to silently sob in his chest. Gaara scooped the crying boy into his arms and began carrying him back to the house. 'Soon Naruto, you won't have to cry again, because I'll be here with you.'

Matilda watched with her hands clasped together, she was in fan girl mode. "Awwww. Now we just need Naruto to fess up and those two can finally get together with someone who understands them." She sighed happily as she silently followed Gaara into the house.

Naruto, having just recovered from his crying fit, was surprised to feel, safe, in Gaara's arms, usually he only felt safe with Iruka, but he was feeling something else to, he couldn't explain it, but when he was around Gaara he felt like he could sprout wings and fly, he felt, understood. 'I'll ask Iuka what this feeling is, he'll know, Iruka knows everything.' And Naruto soon fell asleep in Gaara's, warm arms.

FASH: Aw. My little Naru-Chan is growing up! Next time he'll ask Iruka what he's feeling, anyone know what the magic feeling Naruto is feeling is? My friend Dani said once she heard a song and it was like. "A feeling is a feeling that you feel." Weird eh?
