Naruto had woken up much like he had yesterday, wrapped up in Gaara's arms. He studied Gaara's face, he seemed so peaceful when he slept, s unlike when he was awake. 'He's really pretty.' Naruto thought with a small blush as his fingers went over where Gaara's eyebrows would have been if he had any. 'His hair, it's like fire.' He watched in fascination as some wind coming through the open window toyed with the red locks, making them sway in a nearly hypnotic fashion. 'What is this I'm feeling?' Naruto thought as he looked nervously at his hands, as if they held the answer. 'Iruka will know! He knows everything!' Naruto thought with a happy grin as he bounced out of the bed, but he looked back at Gaara apprehensively. 'Would Panda Man will be worried if I went away without him knowing?' He glanced around the room anxiously before he spotted some paper, a bottle of ink and an ink brush. 'I'll write him a letter!' And Naruto quickly took the paper and dipped the brush in the ink, trying his hardest to write neatly.

Deer panda man, i'me got to azc Iruke somhin impartont, I well b bak sown.

May it be noted that the writing skills of a small child are not very good, nor is their spelling. Naruto quietly made his way out of the room, slipping out with one last look at Gaara before leaving.

Gaara's eyes opened wide, he did not know what, but something was missing, then the whispers in his mind came back full force! "No." He cradled his head, trying to keep the voice at bay, the one telling him to let the demon take over, the one telling him to kill. "Where is Naruto?" He looked around, spotting the letter and quickly scanning over it. 'I have to find him.' He thought, the voice was getting louder and Gaara quickly rushed into the street, jumping on the rooftops, trying to find his Fox Kit.

Naruto had entered Iruka's house, he knew where the spare key was, and quickly wet into the kitchen where Iruka was eating breakfast. "HI IRUKA!" The poor man spit out his coffee, the boiling beverage stinging his pajama covered skin. "Naru-chan, don't you know sneaking u on people is rude?" Iruka gave Naruto a look, but the blonde just waved it off and smiled. "I have a question Iruka......"

Gaara was still looking around for his Fox Kit. 'He has to be around here somewhere.' Sand was already beginning to slowly make its' way out of the gourd on his back.

"Well Naruto, feelings like those mean that you 'really like' someone." Iruka said, Naruto pouted, not understanding what Iruka was talking about. "But I already know I really like him!" Iruka just gave him a blank look, mouth slightly open. 'Him? Is Naruto, gay?' "It means you're in love." Iruka said, once recovering from the shock, Naruto looked at him with his wide, innocent eyes. "So.... I love Gaara?" Iruka face vaulted. "You love Gaara?!!" "I asked you first!" "Do you love him?!" "I'm asking you!"

Iruka sighed and rubbed his temples, he felt a migraine on its' way. "Do you feel for Gaara the way you explained your feelings to me?" Naruto nodded. "Then you love him." Naruto smiled. "Iruka, what's love?" Iruka sighed again, he had a lot of explaining to do.

"Good, good, now they only have to admit their feelings to each other!" Matilda exclaimed, little hearts in her eyes. "Wait a minute, if Naruto isn't with Gaara then..... Oh fuck!" She flew off as quickly as she could. "I have to get him to Naruto before he decides to kill everyone." She quickly spotted the red haired sand-nin, he was perched on top of a fairly high building, looking around for a certain blonde. Matilda noticed with worry that sand was now swirling around his feet and more was coming from the gourd. "Oh, he's angry." She bit on her finger nails. "I better get him to Naruto quick; he looks like he's getting more homicidal by the second!" She quickly grabbed onto a clump of Gaara's hair and pulled, hard.

Gaara looked up, his eyes narrowing when he saw nothing but the scenic view around him. "Grrrr...." The something sparkled, it waved in front of his face before going off straight ahead, Gaara growled to himself again and followed the sparkling trail.

"Okay, so that wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, pissing off an already homicidal boy who happens to be the container of a demon, but so long as he can't catch me, he can't kill me, right?" Matilda had made herself partially visible and was now flying as fast as she could to lead Gaara to Naruto, and to get Gaara to calm down before he decided it was the perfect time to go on a homicidal rampage.

Gaara heard Shukaku's voice get quieter and quieter as he followed the sparkling organism? Object? The didn't know or care what the thing he was following was anymore because he was getting closer to Naruto.

"Bye Iruka!" Naruto waved happily as he slammed the door shut and began walking away before bumping into something, he slowly opened his eyes and looked up into the hateful face of a villager. "I heard the damned fox had become a child." The man glared down at Naruto, who carefully began to back away. "Where do you think you're going?" The man grinned, malice shinning in his eyes. "I've got to teach you a lesson!" (notice how the streets always seem to be deserted, I never have anyone else walking by!)

Gaara saw a man rear back, getting ready to punch Naruto, HIS Naruto. "Grrr...." His irises narrowed even more as he sand that had been swaying around his feet shot out, entangling with the mans' hand and stopping the fist from hitting his Fox Kit.

Matilda sighed in relief, before she realized that Gaara would more than likely kill the man that had tried to punch Naruto. "Does he deserve death.... Hmmmm, probably, more than likely, yes. But Naruto's only a kid and if Gaara kills someone in front of him, it could screw him up for life!"

Gaara slowly walked forward, sand pouring from his gourd, the man was now almost completely covered in sand, even though his demon wasn't telling him to, Gaara wanted to kill this man, he had dared to try and hurt Naruto, his Fox Kit. He was about to finish the man off, when Naruto glomped onto his leg. "Don't kill him Gaara, everyone is like that to me, except for you and Iruka, I'm a horrible monster!" Naruto began crying, Gaara looked down at the young blonde before scooping him into his arms and going towards the forest, leaving the man with a bruised body and a couple of broken bones.

In the forest, in a tree, Gaara was cradling Naruto to his chest. "You're not a monster." 'You're an angle.' "B-but, t-th-hat's what the vi-villagers s-say." Naruto said between sobs and Gaara's eyes narrowed. "You're not a monster, Naruto, you never were, and you never will be." "Then why does everyone hate me?" "I don't hate you." 'I love you.'

Matilda was watching with interest. "Why won't they both just admit they love each other already? It obvious that they have feelings for one another!" The fairly just sighed, perching herself on a nearby branch. "I suppose it takes time to admit you love someone." She said with a sigh, then she perked up. "But the way things are going, it looks like they'll admit their feelings any minute now!" She sat on the very edge of her seat, eer, branch.

Gaara and Naruto were looking into each others eyes, neither having any clue what to say, but both felt a feeling growing inside of them, slowly and steadily. (And guess what the feeling is! That's right! LOVE!)

'When I'm with Pand- I mean, Gaara, I feel so safe, I want to be like this, with him, forever.' He snuggled into Gaara's chest. 'Iruka says that when you love someone, you want to be with them all the time, so, I guess I am in love. But, should I tell him that?'

'He knows what I went through as a child, he knows the hate, the glares, the detesting, loathing stares. I'll tell him about my feelings, and, I suppose, now is the best time to.'

"Naruto, I have something to tell you."

"This is it! The confession!"

Should I leave it there? Wait a minute, this is the last chapter! Never mind, I'm not evil enough to make your minds have a work out.

"Naruto, I have something to tell you." Gaara said softly, Naruto looked up. "I have something to tell you to." They looked at each other awkwardly. "You first." They both said at the same time, they blushed and looked away, before Gaara sighed. "I'll tell you first." He said, his voice beginning to show emotion. "I-I love you." Naruto was quiet for a second, before launching himself at Gaara and hugging him. "I love you to!" He exclaimed happily, puling back, tears of joy forming in his eyes as he leaned forward to kiss the sand-nin.

"Now it's time to turn back!" Matilda said happily as Naruto began to glow, and slowly he began growing, soon he was back to normal, something Gaara and Naruto both noticed when they pulled away from the kiss.

"Awww!" Matilda began snapping pictures with her little, mini camera. "These are going to be so incredibly cute! I can't wait to show Flora and Maria these!" Yes, Matilda was an extreme yaoi/shonen-ai fan girl, err, fan fairy.

Green eyes met blue eyes, both saw the love and understanding held in the others orbs, and their lips met in another kiss. Those were the first of many to come.

Matilda, having finally stopped taking pictures, looked on at the tender scene with little hearts in her eyes. "Well, now that those two are finally together, I guess I'll take my matchmaking scheme and get two other people who desperately need each other together."
