As an answer to your reviews, Gaara is NOT dead. I repeat NOT dead :rolls eyes: I wouldn't kill someone if I love them. That's just stupid!

Chapter 8: The Unspeakable

With a smile on his face he whispered, "I love you" and fell off the cliff.

Gaara closed his eyes, bracing himself for the hit; the moment when all his worries will just disappear and he will be embraced by the darkness. But that moment never came. Gaara opened his eyes and looked up, becoming face to face with Naruto. Naruto pulled Gaara back onto his feet and looked away, not saying anything.

"What are you doing here?" Gaara asked.

"Looking for you."

"I thought you hated me?"

"I didn't mean it! I was just angry! And you say I'm dense." Naruto said, rolling his eyes.

Gaara sighed, "You know I can't think logically when I'm around you. I can't help it. You're my only weakness."

"Yeah. That and your phobia of the dark." Naruto said, laughing. "Who would ever think that you of all people would be scared of the dark?"

Gaara narrowed his eyes, "It's not funny! I couldn't sleep because of it!(1)"

Naruto laughed again, but the smile disappeared and his face turned serious, "You didn't have to do this."

"Do what?"

"Kill yourself."

Gaara didn't say anything.

"Don't ignore me! Why did you do it?"

"Because you're the only reason of my existence. If you didn't need me anymore, I guess I didn't have a reason to live anymore..." Gaara said, looking away.

"Who said I didn't need you anymore?"

"You told me to get out..." Gaara mumbled.

"That doesn't mean I didn't love you anymore! You're my brother! I need you! Just because I'm spending some time with someone else doesn't mean I don't have time for you! I was just mad that you hurt someone important to me!"

Gaara became quiet again.

For a while they both just stood there, taking comfort in their peaceful silence. After a while, Gaara asked, "So you really love him huh?"

Naruto blushed, "W...what are you talking about?"

"Sasuke. You really love Sasuke. Right?"

"No." Naruto lied.

"Don't lie to me Naruto. You know you can tell me anything."

Naruto sighed. "Yeah. I know. It's just that I don't really know myself. I'm not sure whether my feelings for him are that of a friend or more. I guess I just need more time to think about it."

"Maybe you should talk to Iruka-sensei." Gaara suggested.

"Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked, confused, "Why him?"

"Because he's gay too."

"He is?" Naruto asked, eyes wide.

"You didn't know?" Gaara quirked an imaginary eyebrow, "He's been dating Kakashi-sensei for a few years now."

"..." Naruto just sat there, stunned. He had no idea! Iruka-sensei had been his teacher ever since he came to this school, and he was always there for him. Never in his life had Naruto suspected that Iruka-sensei would be gay. So obviously, this is very shocking news.

"Naruto?" Gaara asked, waving his hand in front of Naruto's face.

Naruto blinked, "Huh?"

"Are you okay? You seem a bit stunned."

"Uh...yeah. I'm fine." Naruto answered, "Anyways, you shouldn't try to kill yourself over something so stupid. Just talk to me if you feel that way."

"Well I tried to talk to you, but you kicked me out!"

"Oh yeah. Hehe..." Naruto grinned sheepishly.

Gaara rolled his eyes. "If you promise you'll give me a chance to tell you my side of the story, I promise I won't kill myself. Deal?"

"Deal."

Meanwhile in the Konoha Hospital, Sasuke was sitting on his bed twiddling his thumbs and wondering what he was getting for lunch.(2)

Anyways, twenty minutes later Naruto arrived at the apartment of Iruka.

Naruto's POV

I violently banged on Iruka-sensei's door yelling his name.

This is one of those times that I desperately need advice and he's the only one I can turn to. Plus Gaara just told me that he's gay (Iruka-sensei that is; I knew Gaara was gay ever since I woke up with him on top of me when I was eight. He apologized about that after, and I forgave him of course, but he never tried to do that again. A little part of my wondered what would've happened if he had…but I guess it's too late for anything now…). What am I supposed to think about that? I've known Iruka-sensei for so long and I didn't have the slightest clue about his sexual preferences!(3)

Nobody answered the door. Getting mad, I raised my hand to knock louder, but right before I did, I heard a soft moan coming from inside, causing the blood to drain from my face. But as I realized what they were doing inside, it all rushed right back again. I pressed my ear against the door, trying to hear who was inside, and just as Gaara had said. It was Kakashi-sensei.

You have no idea how disturbing that was! Iruka-sensei was like the mother I never had, and now I find out that he was sleeping with my perverted teacher? That's horrible! It's almost as bad as when I accidentally walked in on Tsunade baa-chan and Ero-Sennin doing the unspeakable! And trust me. That was not a pretty sight.

With all previous questions for Iruka-sensei stuffed into the back of my brain, I slowly walked out of the building. I guess this is one of those times that there's no one to help with my problems and I'll just have to figure it out on my own…

TBC...

(1) Now we know why Gaara has those black rings around his eyes, ne? lol :P

(2) That was...random...

(3) I know, I know, Naruto wouldn't use such big words, but I'm in a big words kind of mood. :P

Forgive the crappiness, I just felt a need to update because of my adoring public and I had to rush it. Hopefully, I'll take more time away from my wonderful hobby of yaoi manga collecting to focus more on my writing. Review and hope for me to update soon...
