A/N: Thank you for the reviews! Sorry for the late update. I have been doing job stuff.

"Hurry! He's going into shock!" Said a medical ninja, holding her hands over Gaara's chest and releasing healing chakra. Gaara looked to the left him to see a few medical ninja tending to him. he didn't know what was going on. He just laid there. Why him? Why does he always get put in these situations where he almost dies, or actually dies. Lady Chiyo wasn't here to save him, but Naruto. Naruto. He needed to keep going for him. For Kakashi. For his siblings and his village.

"Will he be okay?!" He could hear Naruto from far away shout.

"Yes, he's in critical condition, but trust in our medical team. He will be up and walking soon," Said a nurse.

"Naruto, have faith," Kakashi said, trying to calm the blond hair Naruto.

It took several hours for them to finally get the poison under control. He was placed in a hospital room to himself.

"GAARA!" It was Kankuro, he came bursting into the room without his makeup and ninja gear. He was practically in just a swimsuit. He must have been enjoying the springs before he heard what happened. "Are you okay, little brother? What happened?! No, don't even tell me, Kakashi gave me the whole story! Are you feeling okay? Where does it hurt?!" He was in hysterics, trying to wrap his head around everything. "How did they get through your armor? Did you even have your sand armor on?!"

"Kankuro, Kankuro! I am okay. I was unprepared for what happened. We were ambushed. There was no predicting it, I'm sorry I should have been more prepared." Gaara was apologetic.

"I swear if it were Temari here she'd rip us both a new one. From now on you have me or Kakashi with you at all time! And for God's sake never leave the hotel without your sand. I love you!"

"I love you too, big brother," Gaara said with a half assed smile. Kankuro came up to Gaara and hugged him gently. Gaara hugged back, feeling his brother's warmth and embrace.

"There's a few people who want to see you," said Kankuro with a smile.

Knock! Knock! Knock! In came Sakura and Ino, both holding a bouquet of flowers. "For good luck in your recovery, Lord Kazekage," Ino said with a smile.

"We hope you feel better," Sakura added. They both set their flowers on the bedside table.

"Thank you so much," Gaara said delighted.

"I also brought you some books from the library, I thought you'd be bored stuck in here," Sakura said, handing him a stack full of books.

"That's enough gifts girls," Said Kakashi just outside of the door.

"Hi, Kakashi Sensei!" the girls said in unison.

"Mind if the Kazekage and I have some privacy? I'd like to discuss with him some business," Kakashi asked politely.

Ino and Sakura nodded at each other, "Sure thing!" When they both left as well as Kankuro, Kakashi made a sigh of relief. He walked over to Gaara in his bed and placed a hand on his forehead.

"Don't go scaring us like that again."

"I'm sorry, Kakashi," Gaara whispered.

Kakashi sat in a chair next to the bed and took a deep breath. He thought about what to do or say, but nothing came to mind. All he could think about was how they could of lost him again! He wanted to nuzzle into Gaara's chest and hear his heart beat, just to make sure. So he did just that. He laid his head on Gaara's chest, listening to him breath. Gaara was hesitant at first, but placed a hand on Kakashi's head gently.

"I should have jumped in sooner," Kakashi said, blaming himself. Gaara shook his head.

"But I could have handled them-"

"But you didn't." Kakashi said in a whisper, holding onto Gaara's hand.

Just a few days in the hospital and Gaara was good to leave. The chunin exams were in just three weeks. He needed to make up for lost time with Naruto, since they were rudely interrupted by those rogue ninja. The Anbu Black ops were on the look out for any more and researched their so called "master". Turns out it was just some old guy who was already on his death bed. As the days went on, Gaara and Naruto saw very little of each other. He was getting rather antsy waiting for the next day he'd see him. When that day came, Naruto decided to show up this time at the hotel.

"Gaara, what do you want to do? I am dying to see you, it's like you disappeared after you were in the hospital!"

"Well, I kinda am on constant watch by Kankuro and Kakashi," Gaara stated, moving his hand above his brow as if swatting a pesky fly away.

"May I come in?"

Gaara let out an open hand, inviting him inside. The tension in the air was thick and heavy. It was as if things were left on a bad note last time, but it kind of was. What with the rogue ninja and the hospital visit. Konoha was a lot dangerous than Gaara thought. But so was every village. An attack could happen without warning. Especially stupid attempts like the one last time. Naruto stepped forward, his hands behind his head.

"Gaara, I want to have sex with you," Naruto finally said, biting his lower lip. Gaara did the same, but turned around quickly from Naruto's forward glance.

"A-Are you sure?" Gaara asked, stuttering.

Naruto went up to Gaara and turned him around to face him, his hands on his shoulders tightly. "Yes, I have never been so sure."

Gaara gulped, his forehead beaded with a little sweat. This made him nervous, but he was ready. "Then let's do it."

Naruto lead the way to Gaara's bed and laid him down. He began to undo his shirt, revealing his abs and the last hokage's necklace that dangled in front of his chin. Gaara gasped gently. Gaara did the same, unavailing his shirt. The room was quiet.

"Lay down for me," Naruto demanded. Gaara obeyed, laying his body down on the bed, shirtless.

Naruto unbuttoned his pants and took them off. Gaara mimicked Naruto's every move. He wasn't sure how this was going to go. Naruto straddled Gaara, naked. Both were rather inexperienced, so it was okay. Naruto took lead of course, by kissing Gaara on his neck, making him squirm. Gaara placed his palms firmly on Naruto's chest and he could feel Naruto begin to grind into him. Slowly, but surely, they started. Naruto placed his hands around Gaara's member and began to stroke up and down. Gaara winced with delight as Naruto went forth. The feeling was extraordinary. Gaara felt bold and grabbed onto Naruto's and did the same. Naruto smiled in enjoyment.

"Kiss me..." Gaara begged, his voice deep and breathy.

So, Naruto did just that. Their tongues intertwining with each other, their teeth bared, their lips pursed. It was pure ecstasy. They went at this for some time now, before Naruto turned Gaara around on his belly and begged for him to put his bum up. He hoisted himself up and followed Naruto's body language. Naruto held out a hand towards Gaara's mouth.

"Spit on it for me, baby,"

Gaara nodded and spit into Naruto's hand. He rubbed it on his member and slowly began to thrust himself inside of Gaara. Gaara shouted, "AHH!"

"It's going to be okay, I think I know what I am doing," Naruto reassured halfheartedly. Slowly he began thrusting in and out until it became easier and more slick for him to get around. Gaara moaned into a pillow, gripping tightly onto the sheets.

"I'm going to go faster, okay? Are you okay?" Naruto asked, trying his best to be gentle with Gaara.

"I'm... I'm ready," Gaara said out of breath. Naruto picked up the speed a little faster now and the two of them moaned simultaneously together. Naruto reached his arm around Gaara's groin and began to jerk him off. They both went faster and faster until...

"Ah!" Gaara came.

"That's it..." Naruto breathed into Gaara's ear. "My turn."

Naruto went faster and faster, causing the bed to hit against the wall. He pulled out just in time and turned Gaara over on his back again as quickly as he could and came all over Gaara's thin, but muscular body.

Gaara and Naruto were both sweating. Both very out of breath, and both losing their virginity to each other. "I will get us a towel to clean each other off with," Naruto suggested, still holding onto himself. Gaara nodded and smiled the smallest smile.

Naruto took it upon himself to clean off Gaara for him and then cleaned himself off. He then laid down Next to Gaara. "So, how was that?"

"That was fantastic," Gaara breathed.

"Did I do alright?"

Gaara nodded and turned over. He cautiously laid his head on Naruto's chest, listening to his heartbeat. "Did... Did I do alright?"

"Gaara, you were amazing. Thank you for letting me do this," Naruto reassured. He sat up, using his hand as a head rest. He looked over Gaara's naked body, so fragile, yet strong. So mild in the sense of sexuality, it was cute, no it was lovely. He had never seen someone so stoic, so reserved, look so beautiful.

"Gaara.. You're beautiful," Naruto whispered, almost awestruck.

Gaara blushed slightly. "Am I?"

"You are."

Naruto stayed the night, that night, they woke up in each other's arms, Gaara held on tightly and Naruto didn't want to let him go, but things needed to get done. Naruto got up first, offering to get him breakfast, but Gaara turned him down.

"I have paperwork thats long overdue, I'm sorry," Gaara said sadly. Naruto understood and wondered when Gaara was free next.

"I am free tomorrow afternoon, if you are?"

"For sure! See you then!" Naruto said, but before he left he leaned over and kissed Gaara. This left Gaara in a state of euphoria. He didn't show it of course, but deep inside he was doing laps around his heart.

Within an hour after Naruto left he heard a slight tap on his window. He ran up to the curtains and drawn them, it was no other than Kakashi.

"I know what you guys did last night, and tonight you are mine," Kakashi warned.
