Chapter 3
Falling Out Of Reach
"We always hurt the ones we love."
The shadowed figure hovered above him, then slowly descended.Naruto welcomed him with open arms and pulled him down to lay on top of him.
"Naruto..."The shadow purred and slid slim cool fingers down the tanned skin of the blonde nin's sides.
"Ah..."Naruto groaned as the fingers wrapped around his erection and slowly slid up and down, torturing him with their pace.
"My Naruto.."The fingers coaxed more precum out of him before one of the hands released their hold and pinched his nipple.
The blonde arched under the touch, thrashing mindlessly,"Please.."
"Naruto.."The figure panted and wrapped his arms around him, nuzzling his neck as his mate came."I love you.."
The Kyubi holder opened his mouth to scream his lover's name.

Naruto sat up with a start and blinked blearily at the squirrel in his lap.
'Quite an interesting dream..'.Kyubi smirked.
-Perverted fox.-Naruto grumbled and stood shakily, grimacing down at the stain on the front of his pants."I've had wet dreams, but this is getting ridiculous.I thought you said it only lasted for a couple days."The squirrel eyed him curiously, before chittering in alarm and climbing a tree.
'A couple days...a couple weeks....all the same.'
The blonde growled,"You said a couple DAYS.Now its weeks?!"
'It was a couple weeks in the first place but I didn't want to have to put up with your screaming!'Kyubi snarled.
Naruto quieted for a second,"Kyubi...can you tell who I'm dreaming about?"
The fox demon inside of him rumbled,'No, but I wish I could, so we can finally end this.'
-Eh?-
'Baka ningen...You have to find your mate.Otherwise we're going to have to live with insomnia forever.I swear, every night..the same dream.'
-You never said that either!!!-
'Great..now I have a headache..and THAT is why I didn't TELL you.Annoying screeching human child..we're close to him, anyways..'Kyubi groaned mentally and put a mental wall up.
"Fine, stupid fox.Hide.AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE CLOSE TO-"A flock of birds taking off quieted him. Naruto watched as they flew in blind terror in the opposite direction. He turned, eyes scanning into the depths of the woods for any sign of danger.
-Kyubi!Wake up!-
There was no reply from the sleeping fox."Damnit, why is everyone always gone when I need them the most?"
The blonde gripped his kunai handle firmly in his fist and crept behind a tree trunk, pressing his back flat against it as he held his breath, waiting.
A hand gripping his blonde hair and yanking his head back, drew a yelp from the alarmed Naruto. Naruto opened his mouth to swear, but a kunai pressed against his neck silenced him.
He raised his midnight blue eyes to stare into emerald green.
"Gaara?"
Gaara's eyes widened, an unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes before the usual emotionless mask slid back on."What are you doing here, Naruto?"He didn't release his hold on the other boy.
"What are YOU doing here??"
Gaara eyed him strangely,"I'm on a mission to retrieve a missing nin."
Naruto tilted his head, wincing when he remembered the blade pressed to his flesh,"This far from Sand Country?"
"Baka, we're not that far from Sand Country at all.How did you get all the way over here?"Gaara questioned, narrowing his eyes.
"I walked."
Shakaku's holder snorted and released his hair abruptly, flipping from the tree and landing on his feet."Right, why then?"
Naruto's eyes flickered with pain, but he held Gaara's eyes,"Its none of your business."
The Sand nin smirked, but it had a hurt look to it,"Go home, Konoha scum."
"Hey, who has the demon inside them here?!"Naruto cried, remembering that Gaara didn't know about Kyubi.
Gaara took a step back, glaring fiercely."Go home before I slit your throat."
The blonde recognized the pain in Gaara's eyes and sighed,"Gaara I-"A wave of heat washed over him.
Kyubi keened in his mind, mindlessly thrashing.
He fell to his knees, then on his stomach, panting.He was burning up, the fire inside was consuming him.
"Naruto!"Gaara knelt beside him."Baka, get up!"
The blonde allowed to welcomed darkness to swallow his mind.

"Uhn...."Midnight blue eyes blinked open to stare at a parchment white ceiling."Hn.."He turned his head, squinting.
Emerald green eyes filled his vision.
"AH!"Naruto clawed his way to the other side of the bed, chest heaving."Where am I?!"
"Sand Country."Gaara stated, breaking eye contact and walking over to the other side of the room to lift a pitcher of water.He carefully poured it into a cup as Naruto watched suspiciously.
"And why am I in Sand Country, oh great panda?"
The other boy gave him a warning look, but walked back to the bed to hold out the cup,"Drink."He ordered.
The blonde stare at the cup a minute, then looked back into Gaara's eyes.
Emerald eyes narrowed,"I didn't poison it."
"How can I be sure?..."Naruto questioned slowly, raising an eyebrow.
Gaara blinked at him in confusion,"Look idiot, I didnt-"
"I know I know.Sheesh, can't take a joke."Naruto snatched away the cup and drank it in one swallow.
Gaara stared at him in barely concealed amazement before clenching his teeth."Why did you drink it?"
Naruto gaped at him in startlement,"You mean you did poison it?"
"No, but..."The other boy eyed him with a questioning look and sighed,"nevermind.."
Naruto clung to his arm with wide puppy eyes,"Where did you put my clothes?"he asked, realizing that he was only in his baggy black pants.
Gaara flushed and looked away,"They're being cleaned."
"Ah.Ok, I'll just wait here."Naruto lay back on the bed, splaying his arms and staring at the ceiling.
"Naruto..."Gaara started.
"Huh?"Blue eyes snapped from the ceiling to focus their attention on Shakaku's holder.
"Are you...a demon??"
"....w-why do you ask that?.."Naruto flushed.
"Your smell...Its driving Shakaku.."Gaara closed his eyes and swallowed,"and me crazy..I don't know what it is..but..im assuming its.."
Naruto clenched his teeth,"Gaara.."
"Why didn't you tell me Naruto?"The other boy hissed."You insulted me, and all along you were just the same.EXACTLY the same."
"Im not the same as you,"The blonde snarled in reply,"I don't kill people for the joy of it, I don't for fight my own selfish intentions.Im NOT like you."
Gaara smirked,"you think I was born the way I was?"
"Do you think I was??"
Gaara blinked at him, then quickly looked away with a strained expression,"We ARE the same though.We've both killed.And don't tell me in your seventeen years of pathetic life that you haven't killed anyone!"
"Stop Gaara.I've had enough of you and your deranged sense of right and wrong.Im fucking out of here."Naruto stood and pushed Gaara away from him, glaring as he made his way to the door.
Just as he was about to turn the knob, strong tanned arms wrapped around him from behind, a chin on the top of his head."Naruto...I just want you to like me.."He squeezed his green eyes shut to hold back the tears."Everyone that said they loved me lied.We're the SAME-"
Naruto's mouth opened to cut him off but Gaara nuzzled his hair, causing him to shiver.
"Now that I've found someone like me..a monster..Im not alone..i don't want to ever lose this feeling, Naruto."Gaara sighed, the mesh material of his shirt touching Naruto's bare back,"I know you left because someone lied to you.I don't know..why anyone would ever hurt you..you're so beautiful...so bright..that's why I.."Gaara bit his bottom lip and tightened his hold.
"Gaara."Naruto said."Im not beautiful...never say Im beautiful.."
Gaara growled in the back of his throat,"yes you are, baka."
A moment of silence passed between them.
"Do you...you really think Im beautiful?"Naruto's words were forced and choked.
Gaara smiled against the nape of his neck,"Yes."
The blonde's shoulders shook in a silent sob and the other boy held him, neither of them noticing as their chakra reached out and twined together, splitting and melding as both of the jaded souls found eachother's lips.
