KawaiFox: Don't own anything so on with the chapter!


The nextday after Gaara met with Akito, Naruto's brother and chairman of the school, was Saturday. And a very suny day at that. Gaara sighed with content as he laid against an old oak tree that looked over a sparkling blue lake; hearing Naruto's giggling joys echoing in the wind.

Naruto had wanted to godown to the laketo pick some wildflowersso that he coulddecorate Garra's or rather "their" apartment alittle bit. And seeing how nice it was Garra just simply couldn't say no. So, that was what the two were now upto, secretly enjoying the cool breeze.

The red haired boy let out another sigh, looking up into the leaves as a bird chirped softly in the distance.Somehowit just seemed to relax the boy and for once was not bothered by questioning thoughts ofthe whole duleing and Rose Bride thing. And very soon he drifted into a pleasent slumber.

Meanwhile, the blond Naruto had wandered of alittle further towards the thick forest, humming gently while picking out different colors of flowers that grew in cluster of bushes and adding to the growing bundle in his arms. A squeal of surprise escaped him as a blue butterfly caught his eye and fluttered about carelessly in the air. Naruto couldn't help but smile while the tiny creature landed upon his nose; it's little legs tickling his skin.

The butterfly flew off and Naruto turned his full attention tothe forestwhere the sound had come from. The noise was coming closer. Naruto stood still, wondering who or what it could be. Minutes passed until a figure stepped out of the woods and in a clearing. It was a boy about a year older than him.

"Hello. May I help you?" Naruto asked with curiousity, shifting the bundle of flowers alittle. The boy was about his height maybe even an ich or two higher with pale skin. His black hair was long and straight which came down to about his thighs and was tied in a loose low ponytail. He wore white sneakers with a white shirt and jean jacket with black baggy pants.

"Oh no, I was just wandering about" replied the boy as he opened his eyes with a smirk. Naruto shivered uneasily upon seeing those eyes, those pupiless silver eyes that seemed to see right through you. Suddenly almost in a blink of an eye the boy was infront of Naruto, just inches in front of his face; his smirk never faltering.

"What's a beauty like you doing way out here anyway? Don't you know that there's wovles out here?".

Naruto tried to speak but the boy traced his finger against his lips as his face became more closer. "Such a beauty..." the black-haired boy whispered in a husky voice; continuing to feel the blond's face. "I-I have to go now" Naruto finally stammered out and pulled out of the boy's grasp as he turned to leave quickly. But a hand roughly pinned him to a nearby tree, the flowers dropping in a forgotten heap on the ground.

"Hey now why don't you stay? We can have a little fun" the boy chuckled and rubbed against the blond. "No please s-stop it! Help!" Naruto yelled out as he tried to break free. The black haired boy's smirk grew wider and grabbed Naruto's chin, about to silence his prize with a kiss.

"Hey! What's going on here?".

The boy immediatly stopped and faced the intruder with a bored look and loosened his hold on the blond. "Garra-sama!" Naruto choked out as he escaped from the strange boy and flung himself into Garra's chest, tears threating to fall. Gaara took a glance downat Narutoand turned his gaze towards the other boy, wrapping a protective arm around him; his eyes narrowed.

"Who the hell are you?".

The boy shrugged. "The name's Neji. I was just passing through". The said boy turned and headed back into the way he came but not before blowing the blond a kiss. Garra watched Neji's retreating form and listened to the soft sobs escaping from Naruto who clung to him. What on earth had happened to reduce the poor boy to tears? What would have happened if he had never woken up in time? Something probably bad, Garra thought as he comforted the blond and the two made their way back home with the flowers.

However, he failed to notice a pair of eyes following them from the trees that were filled with deep hatred.

"Soon I will relcaim what is mine.Very soon".
