Yo all. Thanks for the reviews. Oh! Ninja-Monkey lol. I don't spend all my time on my stories lol! I think mine are crappy too cause I never give my best effort. And whoever else reads my stories. If you list a story of your own. I'll be happy to read it and review. I love reading peoples stories. And I never bash either!

Gaara groaned, feeling on his head while getting up, Huh?

He didn't remember anything. He stood up and realized he wasn't in his own bedroom, "Temari?" He mumbled and slid open the sliding the door only to find a long hallway.

He cautiously went down and found himself a nice looking living room. Light brown and cedar colors matching with on another.

"NARUTO! BAKA! BACK OFF!"

"N-Naruto-kun!"

"SON OF A BITCH DON'T BE A PIG!"

"Share share!"

"Calm down puppies."

He narrowed his eyes looking toward the kitchen. There was Naruto, Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke sitting down around a table. Each with there own plate of food goodies.

Naruto of course pigging out, also trying to steal Sasukes food. But stopped when he saw Gaara.

Sasuke saw him, looked at him for a second then started eating like he wasn't there.

Sakura had her fork halfway up, a piece of scrambled egg hanging off. (Damn it. Now I'm getting hungry!) She closed her mouth into a tight line and narrowed her eyes.

Hinata blinked blankly, "G-Good morning Gaara-kun."

Naruto gave a hugs grin, "Gaara! Looking good man."

Gaara stared at him for a second then looked toward a big window. "Where am I?" He walked slowly to the window and pressed his hand on it. A cold shock pressing on his palm.

Naruto backed his chair up, leaning on the back two legs, "You at Hotaru's house. Don't you remember?"

He glanced back at the blond haired boy, "Ho-ta-ru?"

"That's my name." She came out from the hallway, "Has it been 10 days already?"

Gaara thought for a second, That girl… she.. WAIT A MINUTE! He pointed his finger at her, "YOU!"

She raised an eyebrow, "Uh!
"You put me in a coma!"

"WHAT?"

Naruto poked his own forehead, "You put him in a coma? For 10 days?"

"How the hell can I put you in a coma? I just made you go to sleep."

"Coma."

"Not a coma."

"It was a coma!"

"NO IT WASN'T!"

"DON'T YELL AT ME!"

"IT'S MY HOUSE!"

Naruto kept leaning back, watching the two get closer to each other in anger upside down, he leaned back till he flipped over, "OW!"

"N-Naruto-kun!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

Naruto quickly got up and got between the two, "Hey hey! Come on. Now we all see who the clear winner in this argument."

Gaara crossed his arms.

Hotaru stuck her tongue out, "Thanks you Naruto."

"Its me."

Everyone groaned in annoyance.

"Uck never mind." She smacked him playfully on his head and sat at the table, "Hey where did you all get this food?"

"Refrigerator?" Sakura looked at her weird half laughing.

Hotaru held her chin, "Oh so that's what that's for."

Hinata poked her index fingers together, "N-Naruto-kun are you okay?"

He rubbed his hands over her shoulders, "Of course! I'm invincible."

She blushed, giggling soft and quick.

Gaara headed toward the door.

Hotaru got a fork and threw it a him.

He easily turned to the side, looking angrily at her, "What?"

"That's a bad idea kitten."

Gaara opened the door, "Why's that princess?" He said cold and mean.

Hotaru gave a bit of a surprised look, "Princess?"

"You think you're all high and mighty. Princess"

Naruto started laughing hard. "THAT'S THE TRUTH!"

Sasuke sat grim, getting annoyed by everyone's cheerfulness, And when HE'S here. I don't trust him.

Sakura struggled not to laugh.

Hotaru threw a knife at him, only to be blocked by sand, "Fucker! Don't call me princess!"

"You're not the boss of me." He said calmly then went out the door.

Hotaru sighed and got up, "I said that's a bad idea! LISTEN TO ME!"

Naruto tried to trip her but she smacked the front of his face, he fell back on the floor. "Ah!"

Hinata blushed, "They fight like a couple."

Naruto nodded, "Yup."

Sasuke watched as Hotaru jumped down, "It's dangerous when he's here."

Sakura nodded, "I agree. We all like Hotaru and she doesn't know what he did. For example. Lee."

Naruto frowned, "Oh come on. Everyone deserves a second chance."

"He almost killed Lee Naruto."

"Big deal!"

"NARUTO!"

He sighed in frustration, "What the hell am I suppose to do? Its all in the past anyway."

Sasuke stood up, going to the window and watching them start to argue, "People don't change Naruto. Not just like that. Besides. I still sense evil in his presence."

"Bull!"

Hinata nodded, "I hate to agree Naruto but its true."

"Hey whos side are you on?" He mumbled.

Hinata also went to the window by Sasuke, she pressed both her hands on the window, her eyes drooping with her softness at heart, "Besides," She said quiet but loud enough for Sasuke and Naruto to hear.

They barely noticed Sakura slip into the hallway.

"Its not like we have a choice anyway. The energy shield that surrounds her property will keep him from leaving. And it will last until about the end of summer." She looked at Sasuke, "That's what she said right?"

He nodded, remembering and getting even angrier at himself for coming, "I believe so."

"Who cares," Naruto stepped outside, "I trust Gaara and he's my friend."

Sasuke looked back down at Gaara, But does he know that?

Gaara glared at her, "What do you mean I can't leave?"

"Look. Every summer around this time an energy shield comes up around my property. Its to protect me until mating season is over for the animals.

"So you put me in a coma on purpose?" He frowned, I just wanted to sleep…Never waking up. Is that so bad?

She gave him a look, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What?"

"YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE THAT BADLY DO YOU?"

He stared at her for awhile then looked away, "It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does if your in my property."

"I never asked to stay here." Let alone live.

"You obviously did when you even came into my area."

"It was an accident."

She got annoyed, "How the hell are you so calm?"

"Why are you yelling?"
"Stop asking me questions."

"Then don't ask me questions."

"ARGH!"

He sighed, starting to walk up a hill.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm waiting for night."

She followed him, "Full moon huh."

"No. Half moon."

"Oh whatever. Look you're welcome to stay in my house till the energy shield wears off. I have a lot more rooms you know."

"Thanks but no thanks. I can stay out here."

She watched as he sat down, Indian style, on a top of a hill, closed his eyes and stayed quiet. She headed up to her house, "Your funeral."

Won't that be the day. He smirked. I wish.

Hotaru glanced back when he thought this. Why?

"Hey whats Gaara doing?"

Hotaru jumped on the sofa, "I don't know."

"You put him in a coma again?"

"I DIDN'T PUT HIM IN A COMA!"

Hinata giggled.

Naruto smirked, "I was teasing."

Hinata sat next to her, "Ms. Hotaru. May you teach me some healing jutsu?" She blushed in embarrassment, "If its not a bother."

Hotaru nodded, "Course babe. You have a lot of courage asking. Oh yeah speaking of that. Meeting tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. Meet me here in the living room. SAKURA GET OUT OF MY ROOM and someone clean up the dishes."

"NOT IT!" Naruto grabbed Hinata and disappeared out the house.

Sakura shuffled out, "I-I wasn't in your room."

"Shush girl. I knew since I came in here. What were you doing in there?"

"I was looking for this." She pointed at her headband, it reflected down at her proud and showing she graduated from ninja school.

"Tch what a bunch of bullshit."

Sasuke looked over at Hotaru.

Sakura sat next to her, "So why do you live over here? Why not come with us and go to school. By your levels you should pass less than a year."

"Like I said Bullshit."

"But why?"

"I'll explain tomorrow since I knew you nosy people were going to ask me that question."

Sasuke crossed his arms, "You actually going to let Gaara stay here?"

"Look Sasuke as much as you hate it. Theres nothing you can do about it. Besides he's not that evil."

Sasuke stood, "You don't know him."

"And you do? Tell me Sasuke. Isn't it evil for you wanting to kill your brother?"

"That's a big difference." He stopped, his fist squeezing. "My brother is evil. I'm not."

"Ok. Is it right to judge someone when you don't know the person?"

"Have you fought him?" He glared back, "He really tries to kill and for fun too."

"No but I fought you. I'm surprised he didn't kill you."

"Shut up!" He hit a wall nearby, "You get on my nerves. You think you're so cool."

"Hm. We have a lot in common."

Sasuke shook his head, going to his room.

"Sasuke!" Sakura went after him.

Sorry that I didn't make this chapter funny or interesting. (cries) You can stop reading if you want. Cause today I thought I was going to get home early from school but I didn't come home till like around 9:00! (cries again) Well I'm still going to continue. Oh and you better be taking care of your Gaara! (smile! Smile!) Review please!
