Title: A Day in the Life of a High School Shinobi

Author: Mazoku-princess

Show Original: Naruto

Rating: pg-13 to R

Warnings: shounen-ai yaoi. Maybe a little smut…Gaara might be waaay OOC, seeing as I don't really know his character. Actually…I doubt anybody, save Masashi-sensei, knows him. T-T Sadness.

Summary: Gaara has just moved to Leaf Village with his siblings and instantly his eye is caught on the young, beautiful blonde boy, Naruto. However, when Sasuke proclaims his love for the boy, Gaara seems to be out of time. What will he do to win the boy's heart?

Comments: I just realized how OOC Sasuke is. T.T I'm gonna start crying… And before you start yelling at be about how late this is...I have had it written for I dont know how long. I just didn't realize that I hadn't uploaded it. -sheepish- So, I've been sittin' here for...I don't remember how long trying to type up chapter six and chapter five isn't even up for viewing. -bows- Gomen nasai gozaimasu, minna-sama. (I'm really, really, really sorry, everyone) Enjoy?

(begin chapter five)

Gaara had found Temari's hideout just seconds after they'd disappeared. And just like Iruka, he'd almost attacked the Uchiha for lying across his Naruto.

However, he knew better than to do that. After all, he might jeopardize his rescue attempt. That was one thing he was not willing to do. Despite how…unorthodox the blonde was, Gaara needed him for this mission. And he'd stop at nothing to get him back.

Of course, he was also going to get his sister back for that nice little…prank. With a low growl, he settled down for a night of strict observation. He had to know exactly what Temari was looking for and make sure he had an opening to get inside.

'You're going to pay,' he thought, almost gleefully, a rather morbid smile crossing his lips. The prospect of hurting something seemed to turn on a light in his head and he began shaking in excitement.

His curiosity piqued even more as his sister turned toward the blonde in the back.

(A)

Naruto sighed from his position in the corner. "Temari--i!" the boy groaned. "I'm bored!" He crossed his arms over his chest as the other blonde turned towards him.

"What now…?" she begged of someone "upstairs", her eyes cast up towards the heavens. "Sasuke, take watch… I need to lie down for a second…" The Uchiha cast a disappointed look to Naruto, but nodded and took up a position at the entrance to the cave. Naruto made a whining sound but was instantly silenced my Temari's cold glare. "I'm going to sleep. You wake me up, I will kill you." Her voice was harsh, making a promise instead of a threat. "Understand?"

Naruto nodded quickly, seeming to shrink into his corner even more. Sasuke glanced back and sighed: he was never going to get used to the new girl. At least she wasn't hanging over him like Sakura or Ino used to. Since coming out to Naruto—in front of everyone, no less—those annoying "fangirls" had let off a little bit on the whole "Sasuke is so pure and innocent" deal. Obviously, he didn't have to worry any more. If some random girl happened to come up and accidentally brush against Sasuke's arm—as had happened to one such former (and when he said former, he meant former) fangirl—Naruto would have attacked them in an instant. Sasuke smiled at the memory. It was rather…cute how Naruto got when he was being protective.

When he turned back around, his face came in personal contact to that of Gaara's fist.

(B)

"Gaara!" Naruto whispered happily. He'd taken Temari's words to heart and was doing his best not to wake the girl up. The red head, on the other hand, could care less. He knew how to handle his sister and would have handled her in less time it had taken to knock out the Uchiha: no time at all.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Gaara's pale green eyes were harsh as he glared down at his sister, and gentle when he looked at Naruto.

The blonde nodded, slowly standing and stepping over Temari. Her hand shot out, taking hold of his ankle, and she mumbled, "Where do you think you're going?"

"I need to piss," the blonde said, stuttering as he tried to think quickly. "Sasuke's gonna watch me."

"He'd better," the girl yawned as she withdrew her hand. Quickly Naruto jumped toward the red head, practically falling on him and crashing them to the ground. Gaara made an agitated sound even as he blushed darkly (1) and shoved the blonde off him.

"Grab Uchiha and let's go," he muttered, embarrassed in spite of himself. He resettled his gourd and led the way out of the cave, Temari left alone in her sleep. Naruto nodded, lifting his boyfriend up and following his red haired teammate outside.

"Would ya look at that…" Kakashi muttered, gazing down at his students with humor in his visible eye.

"What?" Iruka asked, his head snapping up. He'd been leaning against the Geometry teacher's shoulder, sleeping as the said teacher watched the group in the cave closely.

"Well, it looks like Gaara-kun's rescued Naruto." He grinned, poking his cohort's side playfully. "This is truly a fun game, isn't it?"

Iruka rolled his eyes. "Yeah, fun," he muttered dryly. He looked down just in time to see Naruto fall on top of the Sand-nin. Kakashi just barely held the English teacher back from mauling the red head, succeeding in calming him with a very "tongue"—full kiss.

With a sigh, Kakashi pulled away and leaned back. Iruka was blushing, and trying not to look back at the other teacher—though, he wasn't really succeeding.

"Anou…Kakashi-sensei?" he ventured after a moment of uncomfortable silence, the boy's having long been gone.

"Hm, Iruka-sensei?" the silver haired teacher questioned, glancing up from his book slyly.

"Um…why…why did you just kiss me?" The brunette's face was nothing more than a blush as he fiddled with the end of his nose, pointedly not looking at the other.

Kakashi seemed to smile. "Why not?" he retorted playfully. "After all, you're a very interesting person to talk to, and I really like you…" He slid closer to the other, tugging his mask down even as he did so.

"Ka…kashi…" Iruka whispered, his breath suddenly sped up. The said teacher-shinobi slowly brought his hand up to Iruka's face, caressing the brunette's soft skin before he leaned into kiss him again.

Below the two, watching in disgust, was none other than Tsunade, the Gondaime(2) Hokage herself. She shook her head and rolled her eyes as she made her way back to the village.

"They need to get a room…" was all that was heard from the tree top.

(end chapter five)

Wow. This is getting even more interesting than it was before. I think, anyway…

And there's a little KakashixIruka love for all you KakaIru fans out there. I, personally, adore Kakashi as a character, and Iruka is almost as cool, so yeah, I love this pairing—not as much as NaruSasu, but whatever. (This is not saying the pairing is going to be NaruSasu, only that it's one of my favorite pairings. :3 )

Sorry its short. I kinda coped out half way through…I'll try and make it up to you in the next update! Try, can't promise anything.

Any way, I think that's it.

(skipping for this chapter 'cause I dont feel like pulling up another window...)

Misc. Stuff:
(1) If you didn't know, most red heads have pale skin—like its so pale if one is out for two seconds in the sun s/he could get an arm of freckles. I would know, I am one. –sweatdrop- So, naturally, if a redhead blushes, they're RED. Example, just the other day, I turned beet red because of this project we had to do in one of my classes. Let's just say, it didn't turn out very good for my girlfriend and me… (yes, I said GIRLfriend.)

(2) Gondaime is—if I'm not mistaken—"fifth lord" in Japanese. In this text—or manga, or anime, pick and choose—it basically means "fifth hokage", as in Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage.
