Chapter 3

Naruto stopped by his locker and opened it to find a surprise. He opened his present and found a fox pendant necklace, attached to it was a letter.

Happy Birthday Naruto!

How old are you now? 17?

You better like my present; I spent all week deciding what to get you.

Well…see you around.

Sasuke

Naruto smiled warmly at the letter and looked at his pendent fingering the fine detail that was put into making this wonderful trinket. He put it around his neck and closed his locker. Picking up his book bag, he headed home. But before he did he had to stop by Sasuke's house to thank him. He was heading out when he heard his name; he turned around to find no one behind him. He turned his head back to be startled by Gaara standing right in front of him. "Hi", Gaara showing no emotion in his voice. "H-hi" Naruto said a little surprised. Gaara looked at him strangely. "How are you" Gaara asked. "Fine," Naruto starring at the ground not wanting to look into those eyes. Gaara lifted Naruto's chin to look him in the eyes. "Why don't you look at me?" Naruto's eyes wandered nervously. "I-I have to go home," he finally said and walked off. "Let me walk you," Gaara said walking beside him. "I have to stop at a friends house" Naruto said walking on. Gaara followed Naruto all the way until they came to stop upon a big house. Gaara starred at the house in disgust. Naruto laughed nervously and knocked on the door. "Oi, Sasuke!" Naruto yelled at the door. Gaara ears perked once he heard that name. The door finally opened and Sasuke stood at the door. Gaara gave him a scowl, and turned and walked away. Sasuke glared at him as he walked off. "Oi…matte…" Naruto called but he did not stop. "He sure is a strange guy," Naruto said. Sasuke glared at the figure that was walking away from his house. "What was he doing here anyway?" Sasuke asked as Naruto stepped into his house. "He wanted to walk me home, and I had to stop by here first," Naruto explained. "I don't like him," Sasuke said straightforwardly. "W-why, he just got here" Naruto said astonished at Sasuke brash judgment toward Gaara. "I don't have to tell you anything" Sasuke said walking toward the kitchen. Naruto fell onto the couch puzzled. "Bastard" he whispered

"Moron" Sasuke said coming from he kitchen with a bowl of ice-cream. "Give me some!" he begged. "Don't use that annoying tone of voice with me!" Sasuke said getting a spoonful of ice-cream and handing it to Naruto. Naruto ate it eagerly. Sasuke got another spoonful for himself and ate it. "So what'd you come here for?" Sasuke asked hand the spoonful of ice-cream to Naruto. "To say thanks" Naruto said with a mouthful of ice-cream. Sasuke gave Naruto a small smile. "I'm still older than you though". "Only by like 6 months," Naruto said folding his arms and frowning. His face lit up when Sasuke handed him a fresh bowl of chocolate ice-cream. "You better not misplace that necklace," Sasuke warned standing over him. Naruto nodded and smiled…handing Sasuke the empty bowl of ice-cream. Sasuke took it astonished at how fast he ate all that ice-cream. "Hope he gets a brain freeze," Sasuke thought to himself. Naruto stood up and headed toward the door. "Well Sasuke, thanks for the present…and the ice-cream!" Naruto grinned, Sasuke smiled and Naruto left.

As soon as Naruto left Sasuke headed toward his room, but was soon as he got to his bedroom he heard a knock at his door. He groaned in annoyance thinking it was Naruto. He stomped downstairs, and opened the door to find Gaara…..
