Disclaimer: (sighs) why do you think I'm writing fanfiction? Because my name is Masashi Kishimoto and the rights to the Naruto manga and anime belong to me? Or because my name is not Masashi Kishimoto and the rights to the Naruto manga and anime doesn't belong to me? I honestly can't draw either, so that should make the question easy to answer.

One of those days: Chapter 2: "Survival Lessons"by: Souvraya
I fought not to shiver as I walked up to him. And it was a hard struggle. I had the terrible feeling that my arms and legs weren't any longer in my control, and that any minute now I would do something not even I knew what was.
I swallowed and tried my voice (and prayed to kami it wouldn't shiver as much as the rest of me did).
"Um…" Oh shit… That's really the way to impress someone… I nearly whimpered when I heard that…
Gaara turned around. Now the question was, did he remember me? Did he even want to look at me? Was he going to kill me?
He just looked at me. And that was probably the worst thing that could've happened to me. Cause if he'd said something or done something threatening, then I'd know what to do (I suppose…), but now, it was all up to me. And I think I left my brain at home this morning. Or maybe it evaporated from staring too long at Sasuke…
I could do nothing but stare at Gaara, while I felt myself getting redder and redder. And hopefully that was all he noticed… -.-
So brave me tries again.
"Um… Wha… what're you… doing in K-konoha?" Oh yeah, stutter a bit too. That's gonna impress him, and so gonna make him fall…
He just kept looking at me. And I swear, I've never met anyone who can look so unnervingly at someone. He makes Sasuke seem warm and welcoming… (No, brain! Get out of the gutter!)
But I suppose he remembers me at least. The Look he's giving me isn't the one you give to a complete stranger who's acting like an idiot. It's the Look you'd give someone you know who's acting like a complete idiot. I should know, cause Sasuke has shown me this Look many times…
"Um… Gaara? Are you… going to say something… or…" Hell! I must be begging for him to kill me. Kami, I wish I could sink into the ground…
Then on second thought… Gaara controls sand, right? So… No, I don't want HIM to kill me.
"Uzumaki Naruto." My name! He remembered my name! And I'm getting more and more brain-mush!
"Um… hai?" How the Hell can I be so unsure?
Oh yeah. I have a major crush on him, and he's looking at me like he would rather kill me… And he probably would too. It is, after all, Gaara. And have I mentioned before that Gaara is sort of like a homicidal maniac? Well, now I said it. Cause he is. But he's still soooooo sexy…
"What interest do you have in my business with Leaf?" He really likes to see me suffer… Then, on the other side, he doesn't know that I'm suffering. Unless it's visible. Which it probably is.
"Um… c-curious? A-after all, I l-live here…" And I want to know what my crush is doing in my village and if there is any chance I can seduce him. And Sasuke. And I just know that if I put them in the same room together for more that one minute, they will try to kill each other. And I think Gaara's the one who's most likely to survive. But don't tell Sasuke…
He keeps looking at me. I wish he would stop.
NO! I don't want him to stop looking at me, I just want him to stop looking at me like he wants to kill me and start looking at me like he wants to kiss me. Or even better… fuck me… Mmmmm…… He's so hot… Me. Want. Gaara.
SHIT!!! Stupid brain, get out of the gutter and stay out! Now at least he isn't looking at me like he wants to kill me, now he's looking at me like I'm completely insane! Which I probably am. I think my face might just burst into flames any second now…
I'm not thinking coherently any longer. If I ever was. Just becoming more and more brain-mush. I have to get away…
"Um… I-I have to… to go. S-see y-you around…"
And I run. Or stumble. Or whatever you want to call that movement. At least it gets me forward.
Now, Mission: Retrieve Naruto's Brain.

A/N: Late, later, latest. sighs GOMEN NASAI, MINNA-SAMA!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE LATENESS! And for not posting it at But I like my little stars… Hope you don't hate me because of it…
Reviewers' Corner:
Anael Razualle: you bet… I suppose. I wonder what sasu will say… Scary fantasy, btw… me likes…
darkphoenixlord: glad you like… it isn't hard to write Naruto brain-mush, especially when I know exactly how he feels… I mean, Gaara and Sasuke… drools enough to make anyone brain-mush. And it isn't exactly hard to picture Naruto sarcastic either. I suppose all that hatred from the villagers has given him some sense of sarcasm, at least…
Nejidragon: hugs back yes, I had to stop it there. Sorry… inspiration ran out, but I hope this is better. I know Naruto just runs off, but so would I do if I was in his place…
Sailor Book/Water Mistress: I'm so glad you like. It means the world to me to know people read and like my stories. So hugs to you.
