Nine Boys, Three Nights , One Naruto. by Furuba-ai-PoT

Chapter 2. "Ni: GAARA"

Yesterday the jounin teachers announced the upcoming vacation to their students plus the sand siblings. They didn't gave any further information about the anonymous vacation, only that is was going to last for four days. Also Asuma while hugging his favorite student Lee, handed out a pile of checklists for everyone, reminding them what to bring along.
At first Naruto opposed to go and screamed until his lungs went sore, but quickly took back his words when Kakashi told him that if he were to refuse, he would get punished, meaning to stay a genin forever! Knowing that Tsunade was supporting this whole thing, Naruto knew that she had all the power to make his nightmare come true. So in the end Naruto had no options left.

08:00- Uzumaki Residence. The day of departure.

Naruto yawned and rubbed his half closed eyes. He looked simply adorable. To anyone who was obsessed with the blonde, this would have made a lovely picture to add to their unusual collection. Seven more yawns later, he got up followed by a quick shower and got dressed. Naruto promised himelf to be extra more cautious since he didn't even know where the hell he was going. He was so not going to ruin his favorite orange suit for this. So he decided to wear something else, a forestgreen coloured T-shirt, and a black baggy trouser.

09:30

After Naruto was done, he met his favorite event during his morning routine, breakfast. Today's breakfast was ramen with tofu, Naruto's second favorite after Miso. Only minutes later the small blonde managed to finish his third cup of instant tofu ramen. The boy has a great appetite indeed.
Naruto made a sheepish grin to no one in particular and spoke.

" Ah the ramen was delicious as usual." he chirped.

But his cheerful face quickly turned into a annoyed expression when he noticed a folded piece of paper on the edge of the tabel. He knew that sooner or later, that he would have to confront that evil thing, meaning the checklist.

Normally Naruto would have been very excited to go on a vacation . But unfortunatly not this time, this time it's different. A certain redhaired shinobi was his reason of objection.

"Gaara..." Naruto sighed out annoyingly

At first Naruto was terrified by Gaara, but he soon learned to like Gaara. Mostly because of the similarities betweem them, meaning Shukaku and Kyuubi. Knowing that there was another person who was similar to Naruto himself was a pleasant thing to know. They eventually became friends. But how?

((Flashback))

Two weeks after the Chuunin exams Gaara dropped by Naruto's apartment, unexpected ofcourse.
The red haired shinobi easily made his way into the blonde's apartment. He leant against the window and stared., amused by the sight that was given to him at the moment. Naruto was quietly eating his ramen, also thinking of a certain drop dead gorgeous raven haired shinobi. But the next thing he knew, he was choking...choking like mad! Uzumaki Naruto was choking on his favorite food. How ironic...

'Oh shit! I,m gonna die! Can't-breath-AH! 'Suddenly he felt a terrible pain in his stomach, that made him fall on the floor, that also made him sobbing because of the pain.

Gaara had punched him, and he did not hold back.

" ITAI! " Naruto screamed with all his might. " What the hell do you think you're doing you eyebrow less freak! If you wanted to kill me just say-" The mad blonde was planning to scold some more, but then he realised something. " uh wait...HEY! I can breathe again! "he chirped happily. The pain has already gone away, Naruto got up and looked into a pair of green eyes.

"Hey...what are you doing in my apartment?" Naruto asked with a bit of confusion and shamefulness because of what happened just now. ' Did Gaara just saved my life? '

Gaara ignored the question and casually walked to the dining table and leaned against it.

' What the hell...! He's ignoring me in my own house '

" Whaddya want? Did you come here to get your ass kicked again?" Naruto snapped.

But Gaara continued to ignore him and started to stare at the frustrated blonde, which extremely annoyed Naruto.
So he glared at Gaara. And they stayed like this for exactly two minutes.

Finally the red haired shinobi broke the silence, but with one word that Naruto never expected to hear.

" Love."

Naruto's jaw dropped in a dramatic unrealistic way.

" Eh...? YOU WANT WHAT? "Naruto looked bewilderd at Gaara

Gaara spoke agian. " You.." He paused for a second. "In order to be the strongest you'll need a person to love...a person to protect right? Thats what you told me. "

Naruto stared at Gaara." Y-yeah I guess so..." He answered.' What the...! Is Gaara high or something?'He stayed silence untill Gaara spoke again.

"Last night Tenmari got drunk, kicked me out of the house and told me to get a life by searching a reason for my existence. "

Naruto continued to stare at Gaara and thought.' Is that woman trying to get herself killed? What is he trying to say? '

Without the slightest change of expression Gaara continued.

"I want your love. " He said

Naruto blinked." W-what are you talking about? I don't under-" Gaara didn't let the confused blonde finish his sentence. He violently grabbed Naruto's collar and slammed him against the wall. Gaara looked pretty pissed.

"I said, I want your love GOT THAT?" Gaara hissed out.

Naruto tried to break free from Gaara but he was just not strong enough to break free from the strong grip.
So he stopped struggeling and gave in." O-okay. " He stammerd weakly.

Almost immediatly Gaara let go of Naruto's collar and left without a word, leaving a very confused Naruto behind.

'I guess all that sand has finally gotten into his brains...' Naruto thought thoughtfully.

After Gaara's little visit nothing happend, which Naruto was thankful for. Alas for Naruto a week later Gaara came to visit him again. This time...for tea. Yes the notorious killer Sabaku no Gaara came to Naruto's apartment for a cup of tea. Has the world gone mad! That was what Naruto thought when Gaara's showed up asking for tea. But he obeyed and let Gaara stay for..tea. As soon as Gaara's finished his cup he left without a word, just like the last time. After the second visit Gaara came to visit Naruto almost frequently. Much to Naruto's suprise he soon learned that Gaara was a pretty nice guy. And he didn't mind the company, since it's rare for anyone to visit him this often. He actually enjoyed Gaara's company. They even had nice conversations every now and then. Which developed pretty good. It started like this:

Naruto: " Uh-uh..nice wheather huh? "

Gaara: "...hnn. "

Naruto:" ...ano...So how does you village look like? "

Gaara: "...sand..."

Naruto: "...Hehehe...ofcouse silly of me..hehehe.."

silence-

Fortunatly after a few more of these akward conversations, Gaara became more talkactive! And the relationship between him and Naruto grew better. Like this:

Naruto: "hey Panda-man, are you coming this saturday? "

Gaara: " No. "

Naruto:" Why not? "

Gaara: " I hate ramen shows."

Naruto: "Well...we could watch -Rise Of The Bloody Dead- again ! How about it? "

Gaara: "Fine. See you saturday. "

Naruto: "OKAY BYE! "

And so Naruto and Gaara became friends. Naruto was convinced that what Gaara meant with" I want your love "was just meant as in love in friendly friendship way. But poor innocent Naruto didn't knew the real meaning behind those words...until one night when Naruto got interrupted in his deep sleep.

TBC.
