To all the reviews that I wasn't able to reply yet I'll catch up on you later… Sorry I became busy this few days that I neglected my story…
Well, to those who are itching to read the next chappie, here it is!
The 7th installment to Naruto's Diary
--
"The sky is blue…"
I looked at Gaara. He was indeed looking at the sky at that time. His solemn eyes were not blinking. Naruto was by his side eating lunch. Sakura was with them too.
I, however, remained alone here in the shades.
"You sure you don't want to eat something?" Kakashi-sensei asked me.
"No thanks… I'm not hungry…" I replied still looking at the three who seems to be having a picnic in the middle of the desert.
"You hadn't eaten anything since breakfast…" Kakashi-sensei pursued.
I stared at him.
"Look at those three… they're having a picnic! Why not join them?" Kakashi-sensei said as he points out to Naruto, Gaara, and Sakura.
"Never mind…" I said.
"Hey Sasuke! Come over here and join us!" Sakura waved at me. When I didn't replied back I heard those murmurs from them, but I can't hear them clearly as they are a bit far from me.
I could feel Gaara's eyes on me. It stings. But of course my sharingan could sting more… If only I can attack him…
Wait! Why am I thinking like this?
I turned to look at Kakashi-sensei once again. He was reading the book again. Then he looked at me.
"Any problems?" He asked.
"No… Just got to take a walk…"
"I told you… You must eat…" He said while I was walking away from him.

(Skipped some boring day entries…)
Friday,
I received a mail from a friend. I don't usually receive mails from friends since almost all my friends stays here at Konoha, and it's not that big for them to be sending mails.
But this mail came from Suna… From Gaara.
You remember him diary? He's the One that I battled in the chuunin exams! The One that I hated so much for damaging Thick-brows! (Rock Lee)
He say's thank you for everything. That's all that it says…
To Uzumaki Naruto,
Thank you for everything…
Friend…
Sabaku no Gaara
A red bird delivered it this morning directly at my window.
Why is he thanking me? Hnnnnn… I really don't know but the letter has a very friendly vibe. As I remember I hated Gaara! But now… I'm fine thinking of him.
Perhaps he has taken a new life just like me…
We are the same… People hated us… Looking at us as if we are dreaded monsters…
We were both in the same darkness…
But to me it change… I was no longer alone… Sasuke and the others were there for me.
Duh? Why mention me?...
Gaara, however, remained in that darkness without someone to turn unto.
But perhaps now he has…
And he's thanking me for it…
Those words keep on swimming in my thoughts ever since this mission started…
Hmph!...
Idiotic phrases!
I mean, what the hell do I care about them being friends?
Gaara is a boring, homicidal freak and Naruto's an idiot. They really make such good friends right? Haha. And who the hell put this stone here?
I kicked it…
"YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS!" Someone shouted behind me.
I blushed totally from head to foot! And every single strand of hair in my body stood!
Damn it! I'm not jealous! Hell why would I be jealous? Jealous of Gaara?...
"I-I'm not!" I said.
I turned around to see Temari and a teenage boy. Temari was talking to him and not to me.
"I'm not jealous with that skinny boy from Konoha!" The boy said.
"Really? Then why…" Temari stopped as soon as she saw me.
Of course I looked stunned! I never encountered something like this situation before did I? Add the fact that I even thought that the complement was for me.
"Sorry…" I said and walked out of the mess.
I started to walk back to where Kakashi-sensei and the others were.
I could feel the sun's hot rays over my skin already.
Was I jealous?
When I reached the place, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura, and Naruto were no longer there. But Gaara was still there looking at the sky.
I walked towards him.
He looked at me with those expressionless eyes.
"The mission's over… Your team mates are looking for you already." He said.
The mission's over… yeah… WHAT? We just came in this morning and the mission's over? This boy's got to be kidding…
"Really? How come?" I asked him.
"I moved the sand already…" He said now gazing at the desert.
I examined the place. From this altitude you can see almost the entire village. It was indeed clean of unwanted sand.
"So you move the sand yourself?" I asked him.
"Yeah…"
"Then why did the Suna summoned us to help if you yourself can sort this out?" I asked. It was really agitating. We traveled for about 3 days only to find out that Gaara can sort it by himself. It's damn crazy!
"So that I could see Naruto once again…"
Yeah yeah to see Naruto again… WHAT? This jerk is not just a homicidal freak but also entirely insane!
He's selfish indeed...
"And why do you want to see Naruto again?"
Gaara stared at me blankly…
"He's my friend" He said. "And he's been telling me that someone is not treating him nicely nowadays…"
That's me for sure… But why the hell did Naruto told this guy about that?
"You should be nice to Naruto…" He said.
"What do you care?" I asked and stood ready to walk away. "I'll search for the others and then we'll leave…"
……………………………………………
"WHAT? Nobody told me that it was really just a visitation mission?"
"You weren't listening aren't you?" Kakashi-sensei told me. "Before we entered Suna I told you three about it. Tsunade-sama told us that we will help in cleaning Suna just to elude the advisers. It was a favor from Gaara himself."
"Sasuke… You're the attentive one… How come…" Sakura complemented but I cut her, whatever she's saying, by looking harshly at her.
Did Kakashi-sensei told us about it? Maybe he told us that while I'm drowning in a pool of thought about Naruto and Gaara.
Well atleast now we are back in Konoha, far away from Gaara.
Kakashi-sensei tapped me at the back.
"You better stop denying whatever you're feeling…" He said then winked at me.
Damn! I'm not denying anything… Or am I?…
I don't know…
"Well… I got to go to Tsunade-sama and file out our mission" Kakashi-sensei said and he departed.
Sakura yawned and waved good-bye too.
That leaves Naruto and me alone.
I stared at him and he caught my eye, but he sadly looked somewhere else and turned away from me.
"Good night Sasuke… I'll go get some rest…" He said.
As I watched him walk away, I pulled out his diary out of my bag.
"Wait…" I said.
He looked back at me.
My feet started to walk me towards him…
"There's something I want to tell you…" I said.
