A/N: I haven't planned this chapter at all, I just kinda imagined a lot of it in my head in the shower, so this could be rather amusing X)!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Welcome to Life Chapter 6 – Phone Calls GAARA POVI have absolutely nothing planned for tonight, and that's just the way I like it.
I am currently in my room, sitting on a spinny chair. I've been here for about 20 minutes, just going around in circles. Wall, bed, stereo, poster, door, wall, bed, stereo, poster, door, wall, bed, stereo, poster, Kankuro. Whee! My brother's come to visit!
"Sup Kanky?"
He raises an eyebrow.
"First of all, don't call me Kanky, secondly, I haven't seen you this happy in ages. What's up?" He plops himself down on my bed and looks at me expectantly.
"Oh nothing." I reply vaguely, grinning like an idiot.
"You're getting laid aren't you?"
I choke. He's such a goddamn pervert.
"No, I'm not getting laid…yet." AHAHAHAH WHAT'VE YOU GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT BROTHER DEAREST?
"You're not being serious are you?"
"Noooo, but-"
"You are seeing someone."
"Not really, but I'm going on a date."
"Is she hot? Do I know her? How old is she? Is it that Sakura girl?"
"Okay, too many questions at once."
"First of all, what's her name?"
I smile and spin around once more. "You mean HIS name?"
Kankuro's jaw drops and he springs up on the bed.
"WHAAA?"
"Oh come on! You can't say you haven't noticed anything!" Temari's standing at the door, shaking her head at Kankuro.
What is this, a family meeting in my room? Why wasn't I informed?
Temari walks in and sits on the bed next to Kankuro, who still hasn't full recovered.
"Soooo, who is it then?"
I grin.
"Gaara?"
Wider.
"Gaaraaaa?"
Wider.
"GAARA?"
Ow, I think my face is gonna break.
"GAARA TELL ME WHO IT IS OR DIE!" Kankuro's standing up and coming towards me with a menacing look on his face. I watch in terror and fall backwards off my seat in an effort to get away from him.
"KANKURO! Stop! You sound like Dad!" Temari shrieks.
Kankuro freezes in mid-stride. His eyes widen.
"Oh God Gaara I'm so sorry!" he lifts me back to my feet and pulls me into a hug. I think he's crushing my spine.
"It's okay." I smile weakly.
Temari tries to distract us again, "Gaara, who is it?"
"Sasuke Uchiha."
Can I be charged for accidently killing my siblings by saying a name?
OMGLIIIIIINE
Muahahaa! I have kidnapped the phone and I'm going to take advantage of my father not being here. First of all, I'm gonna call Neji.
"Yeah?"
"Hey Neji, it's Gaara."
"Oh, hi! Any reason for you calling me?"
"Yeah."
"…and you're not gonna tell me what that is?"
"I am."
"So tell me?"
"Guess what? And don't you dare say snot."
"Goddamnit. What?"
"Do you people not understand the concept of guessing?"
"Okay, you can fly?"
"That was lame."
"Yes it was, now tell me!"
"Sasuke asked me out."
"I knew he was going to! I told you!"
I bet he's doing a victory dance round his room right now (he has a cordless phone, I don't).
"Well," I continue, "that's not what I wanted to ask you about."
"You're coming to me for advice. That's suicide ya'know?"
"Yeah, but you know Sakura best, other than me."
"True. You wanna try and make it up with her right?"
"Right."
"Then tell her straight."
"What?"
"Tell her EXACTLY what you're thinking and what's going on."
"…bloody hell, when did you get so good at giving advice?"
I can hear the smugness in his voice, "It's a gift."
"Yeah whatever." I laugh slightly. "I'm going to call her now, see you!"
"Bye."

"Hello, Sakura speaking."
"Hey Sakura, it's uh…me."
"What do you want Gaara?"
"I want to talk."
"There's nothing to say."
"Sakura! Don't be like this! It's not my fault Sasuke thinks I'm cute!"
"Oh, so you're admitting it!"
"Uh…yeah."
"…oh, right, well, that doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you!"
"Forgive me for what?"
"You stole Sasuke from me!"
She may get top grades, but Sakura can be pretty dim at times.
"Sakura, face the facts. Sasuke never was and never will be yours!"
"Gaara! How can you say that?"
Here goes.
"He asked me out."
"…"
"Sakura?"
"He…he what?"
"He's calling me tonight to arrange it."
"But…"
"Look, if it's any consolation, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, so am I."
She's put the phone down.
Argh.
ANDYETANOTHERLINEOMGAREYOUSICKOFTHESEYET?
I'm sitting in the living room, watching tv. It's some strange programme about alligators. There's some crazy Australian guy jumping on top of alligator's and randomly screaming "CRIKEY!" ((A/N: Ten points if you can guess which programme this is D)). The phone rings.
"I'LL GET IT!" Temari shrieks before I have the chance to dive for the receiver.
"Hello?"
Muffled reply.
"Yeah, I'll pass you onto him." She covers the reveiver with her hand.
"It's for you-ooo!" she coos, throwing the phone at me.
I drop it, pick it up and put it to my ear.
"Hey?"
"Hi Gaara, it's Sasuke."
I motion to Temari to get out of the room, but she stands directly in front of me, smiling evilly.
"Hey." I say softly.
"So yeah, I was wondering of you'd like to go to the movies on Saturday? We can see whatever you want."
"Yeah I love movies!" I gush before I can stop myself.
"That's good, so I'll call round for you at about 8?"
"Um, ok."
"Alright, see you then."
"Bye!"
I put the phone back in its holder and am about to squeal, but my male pride stops me.
Funny, I thought my male pride died when my sanity did.
I wouldn't have needed to squeal anyway, Temari emits a better squeal than I could ever muster as she flings her self at me, effectively cutting off my air supply.
Can't anyone in my life be remotely sane?
A/N: Yeah, yeah I know. It's a rubbish, boring, uneventful chapter, but all of that crap needed to be uncluded somewhere. Sorry for the suckishness!
The next chapter should be fun to write, it's gonna be the date 8D
Review please!
