Hi I'm back! Yep I know this is late and I'm sorry but I had to finish an assignment or two before the end of college. But anyway that's done now and college is finished for the summer!

I got ten reviews for the last chapter; I mean wow…that's the most I've ever gotten for a single chapter, the record stood previously at seven. Not only that but this story has been added to a C2, something that hasn't happened before. Though the person who added me never asked or left a review or anything…I'm still happy! Oh and your now allowed to leave anonymous reviews, I hadn't realised it was disabled before it suddenly occurred to me that I had never gotten an anonymous review.

Tsunade stood in the middle of the room shaking. There was blood everywhere along with various body parts. All around ninjas were trying to recover the and identify said parts, so far they had found the remains of Kakashi, Asuma, Kureni and Iruka's arm. The fridge and cupboards contained even more pieces that were so far unidentified. Tsunade wanted to run out of the building and puke up somewhere. She couldn't do that though, she needed to be here.

What was going on with Naruto and Gaara? She thought to herself, It must be their demons, they must have taken over…Tsunade closed her eyes as she tried to hold back the tears "Naruto…I'll get you back, I won't let that monster consume you" she whispered to herself.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sasuke was bored. He wanted to go out for a mission but Orochimaru wouldn't let him as he wanted to do some training with him. However the sannin had vanished leaving Sasuke pissed off. He strode through the corridors of their base glaring at anyone who dared to look his way.

"Kabuto!"

Kabuto looked up to see Sasuke walk straight into the main office, he sighed and made his way towards the Uchiha. "What is it Sasuke? I'm very busy"

"I want to do something, I'm bored, let me go on a mission"

"But Orochimaru-sama asked you to stay here for the day"

"I don't care, he said he'd train me today but he hasn't shown up"

Kabuto sneered "That's just too bad then" He turned away from the boy and looked back at his computer screen, his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw. He looked back towards Sasuke "Well, we might just have a mission for you after all"

"What is it?"

"It seems that your old friend Naruto has come to visit. He was spotted within our territory"

"Naruto?" Sasuke blinked in surprise before scowling "The idiot must have come to 'rescue me' "

"Well go down and say hi to him then"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Gaara I'm hungry"

The red head looked over towards Naruto who stared back at him pathetically "What do you want to eat then?"

"Ramen, of course!"

Gaara smiled at the answer, it meant that the fox wasn't bothering the blonde and so he was in the right state of mind. Well as close as possible for Naruto to be in the right state of mind.

It had started a few months ago while Naruto was still away training with Jiraya. The blonde had wandered into Suna dazed, confused and covered in blood. Jiraya was later found a couple of miles away completely shredded.

It turned out that Naruto's seal was weakening. Naruto was constantly hearing the fox's voice in his head and it was slowly driving him insane. Apparently Naruto then discovered that blood helped to quieten the voice and had then killed a lot of people. Jiraya found out about this and tried to stop him, the sannin failed badly.

Gaara immediately took Naruto in and tried to help him, he failed as well. In the end he let Naruto go on killing sprees when he needed to otherwise he'd end up hurting himself to get his needed blood. Gaara would rather people he didn't know got hurt than Naruto. He knew it was selfish and irresponsible of him but he couldn't help it. He loved the other jinchuriki.

Slowly though Naruto showed signs of getting better, and seemed to be getting back to his normal self. He'd asked Gaara to be taken home; he wanted to see his old friends again. So Gaara took him back and Naruto was accepted back into Konoha. Gaara told Tsunade that Jiraya had decided to keep travelling and that he said hello. Tsunade believed him though she was annoyed that she couldn't see Jiraya again.

However when he visited a month later, Naruto was an unstable wreak, he was killing again and was also decorating his room in blood. So Gaara made the decision to stay and watch over the blonde. The others hadn't found out about Naruto and Gaara wanted it kept that way.

He failed though, he sighed and looked over at Naruto, and the truth was that it just wouldn't have been possible to keep it that way. Naruto was getting worse and Gaara was getting dragged down into his madness to the point where he was not only craving blood again he was also now eating it well. The two had to leave.

"Well there's a small town up ahead, want to try and get something there?"

"Yeah!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Konoha was in turmoil. After the news broke about Naruto and Gaara the whole village got scared and angry. Large groups of people went out in raids trying to find the 'demon', Suna was not taking the apparent defection of their Kazekage well and Tsunade was drinking more.

Sakura walked down the hospital hallway towards Iruka's room. The man was making steady progress and it was hoped he would awaken soon. The pink haired girl opened the door and entered the room and moved towards the tubes attached to her former teacher's remaining arm. She refilled the medication and silently left the room before bursting into tears.

"Naruto…why? I just want it back to what it was. I want everything to be right again"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Why haven't you found Jiraya yet?"

"Tsunade-sama, I'm sorry but it's like he's vanished from the face of this planet. Nobodies seen or heard from him for the last several months"

The Hokage slumped onto her desk in despair. Jiraya was her last hope; he was an expert on seals and had been training Naruto these last three years. He would know what was going on with the boy. Looking for him was the only thing she could do.

The fact that it was Gaara who told her that Jiraya had travelled on while Naruto went back to Konoha had escaped her for the moment.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Naruto slurped happily on his third bowl of ramen while Gaara looked out for any signs of trouble. The place seemed to be relatively peaceful and calm and for a moment he wondered if they really were anywhere near the Sound. Until he reminded himself that he couldn't be lost as he was the Kazekage Gaara and therefore never got lost. Then he reminded himself again that it was probably ex-Kazekage by now. He sighed and looked around again only to see a black haired boy looking sternly down at him.

"Sasuke"

"What are you doing here Gaara? Naruto?"

At the sound of his name Naruto looked upwards to see Sasuke smirking at him. He frowned and looked confused for a moment before turning to Gaara.

"Do I know him? I think I do but I can't remember!"

Both Gaara and Sasuke (who had overheard) stared at Naruto in disbelief. Gaara groaned; Naruto was worse than he thought! Sasuke growled and marched right up to the blonde; he picked him up by the collar of his jacket and pulled him close to his face. "What the fuck do you don't remember me moron! It's Sasuke, your ex-team mate, the one that declared rivals with, the one that you promised Sakura to bring back, the one who nearly killed you over two years ago at the valley of the end! How can you not remember me?"

Naruto just kept staring with a bewildered look in his eyes "I'm sorry, I really am! But I just don't remember you"

"Let him go"

Sasuke turned to face Gaara still holding onto Naruto "Or what?"

"You'll die"

Sasuke smirked "I've gotten stronger you know, since Orochimaru started teaching me. What makes you so sure that you'll beat me this time?" He held tighter onto the squirming blonde.

Gaara simply stared back at Sasuke "Aside from the fact that I am the Kazekage of the Sand while you are simply a mere genin" he emphasised the word with a smirk "It's not me you have to be worried about"

"What the hell are you…ugh!" Before he had a chance to retort back Sasuke found himself being punched in the face. He slid across the floor before bashing into a wall. He groaned and looked up to see a grinning Naruto with bright red eyes.

"I remember you now Sasuke. You were never very nice to me were you?" Naruto strode towards Gaara and nuzzled into his neck. "Gaara" he muttered as Sasuke watched in fascinated horror, "He says he's hungry again, can we eat, Gaara? Can we eat Sasuke, Gaara?"

"What the fuck do you mean eat?" Sasuke screamed at the pair, he pushed himself up off the ground and drew out his sword. "Why are you here anyway? I though you came to bring me back to Konoha!"

Naruto lifted his head and smiled towards a shaking Sasuke "Why would we do that Sasuke? Gaara's the Kazekage of the Sand not the Hokage of the Leaf. And me, well they probably don't want me there now anyway, so why should I bring you back to somewhere that doesn't want me?"

Sasuke raised his eyes in surprise "Why wouldn't they want you back?"

"Sakura-chan and Ino discovered our dirty little secret. They probably blabbed to everyone"

"What secret? What are you talking about?"

"They caught us fucking in a bloody, gory room with Kakashi's head in the next room. You know he didn't look half bad without that mask of his on. He tasted pretty good too, but Asuma tasted of cigarettes, I hate cigarettes"

Time suddenly stood still for Sasuke, shit, he thought, I started a fight with an insane, gay ex-team mate who ate our former sensei…I want to go home…

"You can eat him, Naruto" Gaara's voice broke his thoughts.

Fuck.
