Something went wrong with my computer…so all my chapters on Gaara's thoughts have been lost…sigh…but I gotta say…that ain't one of my best fics if ya know what I mean? So…I'm gonna try improving it starting from chapter eight…here ya go neh…

I also wanna work on my new story…but that would be too distracting…so yeah…


"Neh, Gaara-kun. We might be leaving tomorrow, are you gonna come with us?" Sakura asked as she held onto his arm. Gaara stared at the floor as if to contemplate what to do or not.

"I'm not sure, I might be needed in Sand." Gaara spoke as he gently took her hand into his. "Go find Naruto, I'll be there in a sec."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see somebody." He let go of her hand and left, leaving her wondering who he might be seeing. 'He better not be two-timing me.' She pouted her lips and walked off to the nearest ramen stand is search of Naruto, unaware that she was being watched by a brooding Uchiha. "Sakura…"

As Sasuke continued to watch her from a fair distance, even he didn't know that he was being looked over by another Sharingan user, perhaps too distracted by what to do to pay much attention to his surroundings. 'You better not do anything stupid now, Sasuke…'

As Gaara neared the office of the recently appointed Kazekage (because Gaara's father died…) he couldn't help but feel as if he's being followed. When he turned around, there wasn't anybody that was acting suspiciously so he continued on walking, when he got to the office, he didn't bother signing himself in. 'That's pointless.' He let himself into the office, partly scaring the new Kazekage.

"Ah, hi Gaara…how many I help you?" he sounded scared and a little agitated, but tried to act normally he would with a shinobi of sand. "Want some tea?"

Gaara made a sweat-drop as he shook his head. "No thank you, I want a pass to go to Konoha."

"What for, if I may ask?" he carefully stood up from hi seat and smiled nervously at the red haired boy. "I have some business to take care of over there."

"I see, well I suppose you can escort the platoon of Konoha ninjas back to their homes as well." He spoke as he went over to his drawer to take out a scroll. He scribbled down a few words, some lines and a signature and handed it over to Gaara.

"Here you go, be safe of your trip…uh…yeah?" he smiled lopsidedly at the boy as he took the scroll and walked off with a slight nod. Once he was out of the door, the Kazekage sank down to his knees. "Phew…talk about adrenaline…"

Gaara trudged down the streets, receiving fearful looks and glances from everyone he passed, but he got used to it, almost. It still got him angry every once in a while but it wasn't something that couldn't be dealt and ignored with.

If looks could kill, they would accumulate and end up killing Gaara himself, but one look from the red head could send you from hell and back twice over. Scary…

By the time he got to Naruto, he had already eaten twenty bowls of ramen, talk about good service! The bar tender looks as if he's fallen in love with the blonde, but his loyalties remain with Ichiraku Ramen, must to his dismay.

"Hey." He greeted them and beckoned for Sakura to come outside, just so that the stand wouldn't lose it's publicity. No one wants Gaara to ruin their reputation or customers.

"I got my visa to leave with you." Gaara spoke as he took out his pass as evidence for her to see. Her face lit up as she jumped onto the red head, taking a step back due to the weight. Not that she was heavy, it was more like he wasn't expecting it. "Yay! I can't believe you're coming with us! That's so cool." Then Naruto came out of his haven.

"Ano sa, ano sa…what's going on?" Naruto spoke as he stuck his head out of the stand. "Gaara's coming to Konoha with us! Isn't that great?" she spoke as she jumped of the said person to punch Naruto on his head.

"Hey, hey! Don't punch me just because you're so excited." He gingerly rubbed his head and dodged another one of her punches. "I'm not excited! I'm beyond excited! He's coming with us! Come on, let me punch you one more time!" she laughed as she tried again but failed.

"Gaara! I feel sorry for you." The blonde panted as he got away from her, punches turning into kicks. Curiosity killed the cat…more like Naruto actually. "Why?"

"You've got a very aggressive girlfriend!" he shouted out, not managing to dodge this time around. "Why you little! Take that back or I'm gonna kill you!"

"You're already killing me!"

"Shut up!"

"Make me!"

Gaara sighed as he watched the two fight it out, Naruto was doing defense and she was obviously offence.


"We're going back to Konoha, we're going back to Konoha!" Sakura spoke in a sing song voice as she skipped away from Gaara's home. She made a little spin on the spot and turned around to see Gaara. "Do you wanna stay over at my place? We've got a guest room, not that you're gonna use it but it's still good to offer neh!"

"Hn…" not wanting to lose his fearsome reputation in front of Uchiha but she didn't take it to heart. "Great!"

While Sasuke was brooding at the back, Kakashi was in front of him while Naruto was at the very front with Sakura and Gaara in the middle of them. Every once in a while Sasuke would activate his Sharingan out of impulse of wanting to attack but decided to wait for later. Kakashi sensed it but didn't want to make it obvious to the others.

It didn't take very long to get back to Konoha, a little bit under the scheduled time. The weather was…so damn hot…it could seriously kill you from dehydration. And unfortunately for Naruto…he forgot his drink bottle back in the apartment. But also lucky for Naruto that Sakura offered hers to him! How nice is that! And also some shade provided by Gaara's sand. Sasuke of course didn't want to have anything to do with Gaara so he decided to keep his distance away from his and always behind Kakashi.

If I was some mad jealous kinda person, who I partly am…and I am stuck in the blistering hot desert with nobody but my arch-nemesis, a cool shade would sound awesome eh!

But no…Sasuke isn't that kind of person who would get tempted very easily…neither am I…but back to the story!

He spent the whole trip planning for his attack on the 'unsuspecting' sand-nin hoping he would win back his so oh 'beloved's' heart. He spent that whole time…glaring daggers at his back, more like Kakashi's back since he's right in front of him. But if he could then he would!

Once they got to Konoha, past the big looming gates with the word 'PEACE' on the doors, Naruto decided to get some ramen. It's always the first thing he does as soon as he comes back home to Konoha. Almost like a routine you could say.

"I'm going to get me some ramen!" Naruto shouted out as he punched the air, while Sakura made a sweat-drop at her…ramen addicted friend. "Ramen is so bad for you Naruto!"

"But it's sooo good!" he spoke with stars in his eyes as he 'floated' all the way to his beloved Ichiraku Ramen. Talk about love struck…

"Shall we join him?" Sakura asked as she continued to gape at Naruto. "Hn…" still not wanting to lose his 'fearsome' reputation in a foreign country.

"Geez, what's with you and 'Hn'?" she spoke with quotation marks.

"It's easier that way…" he spoke as he crossed his arms.

"Yeha, yeah, whatever."

They walked off, following Naruto unaware that they were being spied on by a very overly jealous Uchiha…"I'm gonna get cha…I'm gonna get cha…"


Total loss of inspiration…gimme some ideas? If you don't like the way this fic is going…then I can start on my new story…..but majority rules! Vote…And also…I didn't mean to make Sasuke sound so horrible…I apologize mate. Last quote by Dory…from Finding Nemo! Wahahahaha!
