Gaara twitched imperceptivity. Due to his lack of sand, the sand had apparently gone with the demon, Gaara now was slightly annoyed with the sand that was in his sandals and pants, and just about everywhere. He was also twitching because none other than obstacle number one was keeping him from entering the village hidden in the leaves. Gaara under normal circumstances didn't feel the need to kill the last Uchiha, but when he was trying to gain Naruto's affections and there was one big fat Uchiha fan blocking his way, Gaara wasn't exactly fond of it.
"Can I go in yet?" Gaara asked torridly. Sasuke just glared at him. Gaara twitched again. If the Uchiha didn't let him in soon he wouldn't be living much longer, Naruto be damned.
"No," was the simple reply Gaara got. Gaara twitched again.
"Why the hell not?" Gaara growled. Sasuke sigh imperceptivity.
"Because…" the Uchiha heir had started, but never finished since an orange blur whizzed past him and latched onto the unsuspecting Kazekage. Gaara fell over with Naruto firmly implanted on his chest.
"…" Gaara couldn't speak, thanks to a lack of air. If Naruto didn't notice that his friend wasn't breathing soon Gaara was pretty sure he'd pass out. But it seemed that Naruto had caught on to Gaara's little "problem" and had sat up, still straddling Gaara's waist.
"Hey Gaara!" Naruto practically shouted, and Gaara wondered once again why he had fallen for this idiot.
"…Naruto," Gaara replied. Naruto grinned down at his helpless friend and captured him in a hug again. Gaara patted his friend's back, but when Naruto didn't take the hint to get off, Gaara tried shoving him off. Unfortunately for Gaara, Naruto was stuck to him like a leech.
"He's all yours," Sasuke said and started walking away. Gaara twitched once again.
"Naruto get off me!" Gaara shouted suddenly. Naruto instantly jumped off the Kazekage, looking around for his impending doom by sand, but it never came. Naruto raised a delicate eyebrow. Gaara rolled his eyes, stood up and dusted himself off.
"I don't have the sand anymore," Gaara explained and went into the village, Naruto trailing behind him.
"Where'd it go?" Naruto asked, noticing for the first time that Gaara's gourd was gone.
"It went where ever the demon went," Gaara said, heading towards the Hokage's office, since he was here for meetings with her, not just for snagging the blonde that he worshipped.
"Oh," was all Naruto said for a second. But as with all things, you can't keep Naruto quiet. "So why're you here anyway sandman?"
Gaara twitched at the nickname. To steal you away and have my wicked ways with you. Was the first reply that went through Gaara's head, but he decided it would be safe to save that reply for later. "Trade meetings."
"Blah, that's so boring," Naruto exclaimed, putting his hands behind his head in typical Naruto behavior. "There's gotta be another reason why you're here."
Gaara grinned evilly. "Indeed there is…"
"Really!" Naruto exclaimed and jumped in front of Gaara, stopping him from walking. "What is it!"
Gaara thought about his answer for a moment. "Can't tell… it's a secret."
Naruto's mouth hung open for a moment. Gaara reached out and shut it for him.
"Why can't you tell me?" Naruto suddenly asked. Gaara rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't tell anyone!"
Gaara snorted. "Sure you wouldn't."
"I wouldn't!" Naruto exclaimed again. Gaara shook his head.
"Nope, sorry, its top secret," Gaara was enjoying this whole "teasing" bit. Naruto pouted and Gaara could feel his will and self control slipping.
"Please?" Naruto begged, using the puppy dog eyes that always worked on Iruka-sensei. Gaara felt a nosebleed coming on.
"No," he said and teleported himself to the Hokage's office.
