Chapter 1 : the mission

Demons are creatures to be feared with. They are entities you cant hold on to. That is why, this child, Sabaku no Gaara is pushed alone into the darkness.

Friends are like warts you can never let go. Even if they pester you for eternity. They bring flashlights in your darkness and cling on to you forever. That is why,

Uzumaki Naruto despite him being a bearer of a demon, despite him being the biggest wart of all, is held with so many friends and loved ones.

Kakashi: o anu naman yan?

Ako: introduction poh..

Lee: isa akong taijutsu master!

Ako: huh? Ano kinalaman nyan sa kwento ko?

Lee: flashes biggest smile

Ako: ...

One hazy afternoon in the dirty streets of Konoha, Naruto is seen stalking Gaara, a ninja from the hidden village of Suna. The red headed guy was motionless, carefully watching a parade of stray cats on top of a wall.

"ahh.. wala bang magandang ginagawa ang batang to?" murmured irritably by the blonde haired ninja.

Gaara tilted his head, probably hearing something behind him. Naruto was caught off guard, obviously not so good at spying, said " ...eh... oi Gaara nandyan ka pala!"

Gaara then, tilted his head back and found out that the parade was over. He walked past Naruto as if he haven't seen the boy. " oi hintay naman!". Gaara stopped and faced him squarely.

" what do you want?"

' wow English yun ah!' naruto thought jokingly " hah.. um... sasabay lang sana ako..."

the sand ninja didn't answer. Obviously, he realized that Naruto was lying. He walked again, pacing slowly for the stranger to to catch up. As they were walking Naruto remembered all that has happened yesterday. ' bakit nga ba ako nandito?'

flash back

" Naruto, nandito na ung bago mong misyon" the voice of the 5th Hokage, Tsunade was heard.

" yey! Bago nanamang misyon!"

" gusto kong makasigurado na ang mga ninja sa bayan ng suna ay hindi na makapanggugulo sa Konoha"

" wala ba kayong tiwala sa kanila?"

" hindo naman sa ganun... baka kasi maulit muli ang mga nangyari..."

"anu gusto nyong gawin ko.?"

"gusto kong kaibiganin mo si Sabaku no Gaara... siya kasi ang masasabing pinakamalakas sa Suna"

" huh?... teka... bakit ako?"

"tinatnaggihan mo ba ang misyon Naruto?"

"hindi ah"

"ikaw lang naman kasi ang makakaunawa sa kanya"

"eh paano ko naman magiging kaibigan yun?"

" bahala ka na.."

"huh?"

II

" sir Iruka, paano ko magiging kaibigan ang isang batang mahilig pumatay?"

"huh?"

" si Gaara ung galling sa bayan ng Suna!" explained naruto while devouring the whole serving of ramen.

" ah.. hindi ba kapag nakikipagkaibigan ka sa ibang tao, kinukuha mo muna ang tiwala nila?"

"o..o..." Naruto didn't got the logic

"so.. un ung dapat mong gawin"

"paano?"

" maraming paraan pero mas epektibo kung mapangiti mo sya at maipakita mongseryoso ka sa pakikipagkaibigan"

" eh paano ko siya mapapngiti?"

" bahala ka na..."

End of flashback

" bakit ba lagi na lang akong bahala!" naruto shouted with great frustration

"..." no trace of interest is seen on the face of his companion.

' walang pakialam sa akin to ah...' naruto realized. He suddenly remembered why the other members of team 7 is not there to help him. Kakashi and some random Jounins left the village of Konoha for a special mission. Sasuke has fever and terrible colds and of course, Sakura is there to take care of him.

( the scene is now shifted to a room, property of the Uchiha clan)

" are you ok, sasuke-kun?" the cherry blossom, wide forehead, fangirl ninja named Sakura asked her beloved Uchiha Sasuke.

" ..."

the girl half- expected the answer " I'm ok Sakura-chan" but of course that is Sasuke, Konoha's famous iceman, what more could you expect than 'whatever, hnnn..., ...'. and who else could have expected that answer than Sakura-chan and.. ehem... the rabid este... avid fangirls of the Uchiha boy.

(back to the story)

" hey Gaara, do you want to eat ramen? I'm starving!" Naruto said eyeing maliciously the place. ' um... nahahawaan na yata ako nito!'

"..." no response, Gaara just walked forward without any hint of stopping by.

" come on!" Naruto urged and complained but was cut short when Gaara turned left and started walking towards the place.

" akala ko di ka nakikinig..."

Gaara comfortly seated himself on an empty seat and Naruto followed. The beefy man ( the chef) arrived and asked for their orders . " pork ramen" Gaara said flatly. " sa akin den! " naruto said vigorously.

" oi gaara, anu ginagawa mo kapag wala kang ginagawa?" naruto said, clearly desperate to strive a conversation. He was uncomfortable with silence. Gaara didn't understand the question... so as Naruto.

" nothing" he said

" ako.. alam mo ba? Nagtre- training ako! Ako ang magiging ika 6 na Hokage!" naruto declared with arrogance. " alam mo rin ba... yung mga jounin dito... may misyon sa bayan ng Ame! May kukunin daw na importanteng bagay!" the conversation was getting one-sided but the sand ninja still listens. He don't know why he still listens even if the stories are nonsense but he was glad he was with somebody.

" oo nga pala, Gaara gusto mo bang maging kaibigan ko?" naruto said abruptly

actually, the boy was taken aback by that friendship offer. He was accustomed in trusting people easily. He thinks that Naruto was just fooling around. Why would a patriotic boy such as Naruto would befriend a person who had once planned to destroy his village? Gaara didn't answer back. He just continued eating ramen and listen to this stranger. Someday, somehow, he wish he could have this boy as his friend...
