This story is about to get really bad lol. I feel sorry for Gaara and Sasuke. Neji can be so cold hearted sometimes. I am going to take my time on this chapter. the only warning I have for you guys is watch out for hits that will in later chapters. I am known for the if any of you ever read my other stories. I also love to put twists in my stories. Anyway on with the story.---Chapter 3Gaara woke up and groaned as he looked at his clock and realized that it was only 4:30 in the morning. He tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. The things that took place the night before with Neji, really had him worked up. 'I can't believe he did that to be in my own fucking house. Temari and Kankurou are gonna hear about this. Father should be up by now since he has to go to work early again.' Gaara got out of his bed and after getting dress, he slowly opened his door so no one would be able to hear him.Gaara went into the kitchen and walked up to his father sitting at the table, knowing that he might get in trouble. His father looked up at him in annoyance. "What do you want, Gaara?" It wasn't said in a nice tone. Gaara could tell that his father didn't want to see or talk to him right now."Um, Temari and Kankurou had a friend over last night and he came into my room. He held me to my bed and started touching me where I didn't want to be touch. I know you said that you don't want anyone over when you're not home. I know that Temari and Kankurou might lie about Neji being here but I had to tell you." Gaara paused. "Is there any way I can hang out with friends tonight until 10?" Gaara could feel his father's eyes burning holes through him."I'll talk to Temari and Kankurou and to get you out of my hair so I can throw a party tonight while you kids are gone. You can go with your friends. Clean the house now and here's money for cleaning the last three weeks."His father handed him $10 and walked off. Gaara hated the way he work his ass off and only got $10 every three weeks. It seriously sucked. Temari and Kankurou got $50 a week for just cleaning their rooms. He had to do everything. He was starting to miss his uncle, the only member of his family who didn't treat him like shit, but unfortunately he had died in a fire three years ago. He knew his father was the one that started the fire.Gaara looked at the list and started cleaning and was done by the time Temari and Kankurou got up at seven. He started to make breakfast and was just finishing up when someone knocked on the door."Gaara, go answer it or we're telling father that you got in a fight with Temari." Kankurou said after receiving the death glare that Gaara gave him.Gaara glared again and walked up to the door. He opened it, only to find Neji standing on the doorstep. Gaara turned around and went back up to his room to get his backpack. He definetely wasn't going to stick around and let Neji have his way with him again.He overheard them talking about what they were going to do after school. Amazingly, Temari and Kankurou didn't have to ask their father permission to hang out with friends, they didn't even have to ask if they could have friends over.One of the only things his father didn't like would be when one of their friends made a move on Gaara. His dad did not want them to see the marks and scars from all the beatings. But the only way that Gaara could get them to stop was by telling his dad what was happening. He really hoped that his dad's new friends were nothing like the old ones. He was still haunted by the night he was raped.Gaara walked down the stairs and said, "I'm leaving now.""Why do you just come with us? I mean Neji would love to give you a ride, Gaara." Kankurou had a smile on his face that Gaara had never seen before. He also didn't like the way Neji and Temari were smiling at him."Thank you but I'm walking. I don't need a ride," Gaara pulled his arm out of Kankurou's grip and strode out the door. He didn't stop walking even after they told him to come back. He didn't stop until he got into his homeroom and sat down at his desk. He laid his head on the desk and closed his eyes. He was the only one in the room.
Sasuke walked into the school with his brother, now talking about the party tonight, the one that everyone was allowed to go to, even the outcasts. In the halls, they went their separate ways after seeing Neji. They knew better than to talk to each other in school.Sasuke went to his homeroom and set his stuff down on his desk, before looking around to see if anyone else was there this early. He turned and saw Gaara napping on his desk. Sasuke was just going to ignore him, but decided against it. The kid looked kind of jumpy today. Twitchy almost."Hey Gaara. What's with you?" Sasuke smiled a little when Gaara lifted his head up to talk."Nothing big. I just had a bad night and morning," Gaara muttered and put his head back down."You look like death, Gaara. I know damn well that somethings wrong. So what the hell happen last night at your house? I saw Neji's car parked in your driveway when I went to leave." Sasuke demanded when he saw the frown on Gaara's face."Fine, he was there. Nothing happen though. I fought him off of me before he could tried anything. Then this morning he came to my house to pick up Kankurou and Temari and they wanted me to come with. I said no and walked out the door." Gaara muttered, just looking at him. He knew that Sasuke was thinking but whatever it was, he didn't want to know."You know that if you keep letting him push you around and bother you it will just get worse, right? You need to tell him you don't want anything to do with him or you're going to call the cops. He should back off," Sasuke recommended, remembering doing that to him and couldn't help but to smile at the memory."Well I'm not like you Sasuke. No one cares about me. You and Naruto and his group are the only ones that talk to me. Do you know how hard it is to be me to fix in? I'm the one everyone likes to mess with or beat on or something. It wouldn't be the first time I got raped! I'm still not over it!" Gaara shouted, then realized what he had just said. "Shit, I need to go." Gaara jumped up and walked out of the room, heading down the hallway.He ran out of the school and sat down under a large willow tree next to the school. He hated being pushed around and being told what to do. All Gaara wanted to do was run away, but he couldn't. He was like a dog on a chain, only being able to run so far before being choked and pulled back. He couldn't stand being stuck with people who didn't give a flying fuck about him. The only person that had cared about him had died in a fire three years ago. It was a bad memory, filled with horror. Gaara was the only one who had not been comforted when he had sobbed, unlike Temari and Kankurou.---(Flash back)The house was in flames and lights were flashing all around them, Temari and Kankurou were crying in their dad's arms. Gaara was crying in a place where no one could see him. The only person who wouldn't hurt him, who cared about him, was in the burning house. Gaara wanted to run in and find his uncle, but only cried louder as the flames got bigger. He had a bad feeling that he would never see his uncle again, and if he did it would only be for a day or two.After about an hour, when the flames had finally subsided, Gaara saw a fireman carry someone out of the house, and knew immeadietely that it was his uncle. He looked around to make sure his dad wasn't there, then ran to the place where his uncle had been taken."May I go with my uncle? I want to be with him as much as I can before he leaves me," Gaara sobbed and had tears running down his face."Sorry boy but we can't-" He started to say before Gaara cut him off."I don't care! I want to be with my uncle!" Gaara yelled."Fine then hurry up and get in before he dies." Gaara got in and they rushed his uncle to the ER. After five hours, they woke Gaara up and told him he could see his uncle. They showed him the room and left him go in. His uncle watched and smiled as Gaara walked in.He could tell that his uncle was hurt really badly, but yet was still managing to sit up in his bed. Gaara stopped at the edge of the bed and could feel the tears coming back. He crawled up onto the bed and sat next to his uncle, crying."Gaara? You shouldn't cry. It shows that you are weak and I know that you're a strong boy," He whispered as he held Gaara close to him."I should have been the one in the house! It was my fault that dad started the house on fire! He wanted me to pay for telling you about his friends hurting me two nights ago. I shouldn't have told you!" Gaara sobbed into his uncle's chest."It isn't your fault Gaara. Your father and I got into a fight. I wanted you to come live with me and your dad didn't like that idea. I told him that he had no right to treat you like shit. I thought I could help you, but I couldn't." He looked down and saw the redhead still crying. "Listen to me, Gaara. All my money is going to you. I know I'm not going to leave this room alive. By this time tomorrow I'll be dead. I just wanted to say that I love you more then anything in this life. One day Gaara you will find your true love and be happy forever."Gaara looked up. "You can't die. Who is going to save me from father? Even Temari and Kankurou are helping him. Please don't leave me uncle!""Gaara listen to me closely. I will never leave you. I will be with you until the day that you die. There may be bad things that will happen to you in later years but remember one thing: you will never be alone in this world. I will watch over you and you will always have someone to talk to even if I'm not there, I'll be in your heart, Gaara, as long as you live." he said and smiled. Gaara had stopped crying."Thank you uncle. You made me feel better now." Gaara smiled too."I just need to tell you one thing before you leave today, Gaara. All my money is going to you but you can't touch it until you're 18. Your father doesn't know about it. And one last thing, don't cry and do what you are told Gaara. It will make your life easier for you. And remember this. I love you more then anything and you will later find another person that loves you as much as I do." He kissed Gaara's forehead."I love you too!" Gaara exclaimed while hugging him, then jumped off the bed and walked out of the room. When he got home he just went straight to bed.The next morning, they got a call saying the their uncle had died. Everyone started crying but Gaara, as he remember what his uncle's last words were to him. Ever since then, Gaara never cried and did what he father said. He never broke to rules and when he needed someone to talk to, he'd just curl up on the roof and sit there for hours, talking to his uncle and telling him about his life.(End of flashback)
Gaara looked up into the sky, knowing his uncle was there listening to him. 'I'm sorry that I haven't talked to you in a while. We moved to a new town. It's nice here, I finally have some friends, and there's this guy, Sasuke, that I like. But there's also a kid called Neji, who's such a dick. I try to get away from him, but he's constantly following me. I know I shouldn't care, but it bugs me, and it's almost like Temari and Kankurou are telling him that it's okay to come after me. He keeps on touching me, and I'm afraid I'm going to get raped again. I don't know if I can wait until I turn eighteen, and use the money you gave me to get the hell away from here. Or maybe I could use it to help Sasuke and his brother out. I just don't know yet. Well, I've got things to do. I'll talk to you again soon!' Gaara smiled up into the sky, not realizing that Sasuke was right besides him."You look like you were lost in thoughts," Sasuke smirked as Gaara's head shot towards him."How long were you standing there? I didn't even see you walking up to me." Gaara asked, watching as Sasuke sat down next to him."I've only been here for about five minutes. You shouldn't sit out here by yourself. You're just setting yourself up to get hurt. And, also, I'm sorry if I upset you. I didn't try to," Sasuke apologized and looked down at the ground."I know. It's been hard for me to trust people. The only person I trusted was my uncle but he died three years ago. I have no one else Sasuke. My family can care less about me. Neji wants me as a sex toy." Gaara muttered and got up, about to walk away."You know that not everyone hates you, Gaara," Sasuke mumbled and looked up to see that Gaara had stopped dead in his tracks. "You have friends and people that like you. Yeah, maybe Neji wants you for a sex toy and maybe as a pet, but there are people that do care for you. Don't go around thinking everyone hates you. How can you find a friend or even lover if you think like that."Sasuke walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around Gaara before whispering in his ear, "I need you Gaara. I know how it feels to be left out and kicked aside. Believe me when I say that you'll get nowhere living like that."Gaara pulled out of Sasuke's arms and turned slowly, "I...I believe you Sasuke." And just as slowly moved in to kiss him, but, of course, some fucker just had to mess it up."Aw, how cute! You two understand each other! Excuse me while I go throw up. God, never believe an Uchiha, Gaara. He's nothing but a liar. You'd be better off with me," Neji smirked evilly. He loved ruining things like this."Shouldn't you be in class? You are a senior, right? We freshman have to make up the work but you don't, so go away," Sasuke replied coolly, pulling Gaara behind him."Don't you worry about that Sasuke. I get A+'s in all my classes; I'm the top kid in my grade. I'm allowed to have fun. Don't mess with me Sasuke, I could easily stop giving your brother money for food. It would be funny to watch you guys starve. Anyways, Gaara's brother and sister wanted me to come find you. They want to talk," Neji said maliciously."Why do they want me? It's never anything good when it comes to them. I'm staying here. I don't want to talk to them. If it's that important then they come to me." Gaara stated, then started walking off."Why do you need to be so cold hearted Neji? Maybe the kid would actually like you if you were nice to him once in a while," Sasuke yelled over his shoulder as he walked back into the school, making a brief stop at Gaara's locker to slip a piece of paper into it. He knew Gaara had a cell but kept it hidden from others.---
Gaara kept walking until his brother stopped him. "You know that you should come when we say so," Temari remarked as Kankurou made sure he couldn't get away. "We were thinking that you should stop talking to that Uchiha kid."
"I don't have to listen to you, I have my own free will! I don't have to stop talking to anyone. Now let me the fuck go," he said calmly. Gaara knew not to get into a fight with his sister, yelling or trying to hit her meant very serious consequences for him at home.
"That's were you're wrong, Gaara. You do what we tell you to. Plus, he'll be a much better lover than that Uchiha," they laughed as Neji stepped out from behind a tree.
"No. No way in hell! You two can't make me!" Gaara shouted and started kicking them in his attempt to get free.
"But Gaara! We aren't going to do anything! Besides hold you down while he does the work," Temari cooed. Kankurou laughed as they forced Gaara to the ground, ignoring his feeble attempts to get free. Gaara went limp when he hit the floor, knowing there was no use in struggling anymore.
Temari leaned over his prone body, "Just think of it being the same as the night when we helped father's friends have their way with you!" Gaara's eyes widened in horror, and a scream echoed out across the school grounds.
Sasuke was asleep in class when he awoke with a start after hearing a long drawn out scream. Everyone in the class looked around, mumbling confusedly. But Sasuke and the other outcasts knew immediately and ran out of the class, knowing that this couldn't be good. He met up with Naruto and Gaara's other friends in the hallway."Did you guys hear that too?" Sasuke asked, looking at them."Yeah, we did, teme. We thought you did something to Gaara. I guess we're wrong." Naruto admitted, looking around.Sasuke had a bad feeling and he ran out to his car, Naruto and Haku following him while the others were inside the school looking for there lost friend.
Sasuke ran off down the path he saw Gaara walk on this morning after telling Neji he didn't care what his brother and sister had said. The others were following behind him, knowing that Gaara was in some serious trouble. They didn't want to see another friend hurt, or worse, because of Neji.
After about an hour of running along the path, they found Gaara in a little clearing, curled up in a ball, shaking violently. Sasuke walked over slowly and dropped down to his knees. He reached out and gently touched Gaara's shoulder. He was hoping that the redhead would look up at him.
"Sasuke, th-they did it a-again," he cried and just hugged Sasuke tight and didn't let go."Sh, it's okay, I'm here," Sasuke whispered and lightly kissed Gaara while hugging him back. Naruto and Haku stood on the outskirts of the clearing quietly, knowing what had happened. Sasuke picked up Gaara and started carrying him back to the car, wanting to get away from the school as fast as possible. Naruto called up the others looking for Gaara and told them he had been found and were taking him to Sasuke's house. Itachi found out, but didn't say a word, knowing that Sasuke and the others could manage to take care of him until he got home.---At the house, Sasuke got Gaara up to the guess room and watched over him. He knew the kid had passed out as soon as he knew he wouldn't be hurt. Sasuke walked out of the room to see the other guys. He knew they wanted to talk to him, even though he didn't want to."So what happen? How the hell did Gaara end up like that?" Naruto was freaking out."Shut up dobe and listen. Neji was behind it. I knew something was wrong when Neji told him that his brother and sister needed to talk to him. I didn't know that it would turn out to be like this." Sasuke dropped down on the sofa. "You know something bad was going to happen and left Gaara by himself?!" Naruto yelled.Sasuke looked over at him. "Shut up you fucking idiot! You're going to wake him up! I should have never brought you here. I don't even know why I'm talking to you." Sasuke snarled and walked off into the hall to check on Gaara, who was still sleeping. He came back and got something to eat for Naruto and Haku, since that were guests and it was considered the polite thing to do.After awhile everyone was eating. Itachi had come home with more food that he had bought, and sat down with them to eat, leaving immediately after he had finished. Sasuke watched him leave and wondered why Itachi did that. Normally he would stay and talk to him but not tonight. Sasuke decided to talk to him later that night, but first he had to see if Gaara was awake and planning on spending the night. He knew that Naruto and Haku were, but wanted to make sure Gaara was. Sasuke walked up to the room Gaara was sleeping in. When he got in there, Gaara was sitting up in the bed and wondering where everyone was. He saw Sasuke walk in and immediately relaxed. He laid his head back on the pillows and closed his eyes. He then felt someone sit on the bed."So are you going to tell me what happen?" Sasuke asked."Temari and Kankurou told me to stop talking to you, but I said no. They then held me down and N-Neji hurt me." Gaara cover himself up."Let me guess. He did the same thing to you like he did to Haku, to make you his and no one else's," Sasuke saw that Gaara was about to freak out, so he leaned over and hugged him. "It's okay Gaara, I'm here for you. Use my phone and ask your dad if you can stay here tonight, I don't want you to go home. I'm afraid that Neji might be waiting for you." Sasuke gave Gaara his phone. Gaara called his house and his father picked up."Hello?""Um, Dad may I stay with a friend this weekend? I never really had a friend before and now I do. I promise that I'll clean up whatever you want me too. Just please let me stay." Gaara begged, hoping he would say yes."Fine, but I want you back at nine on Sunday. You got me brat?""Yes, father."Without any other words, his father hung up on him and Gaara took the phone out to Sasuke.. He walked back to the room and laid down on the bed. He was still tired and his body with in pain because of Neji. He was laying there quietly until he heard Sasuke talking to him."So he said you can stay?" "Yeah, it's okay. I'm tired and want to go to bed." Gaara said, then closed his eyes."Okay, I understand." Sasuke walked out of the room and checked on the other two. They were asleep also. Now he took talk to Itachi.---Itachi was sitting on his bed, doing his homework. He looked up at the door when he heard a knock, "Come in, Sasuke." He watched as his brother slowly walked into the room and sat on his bed."Neji hurt him Itachi. He did the same thing to Gaara like he did to Haku but I wasn't there to help Gaara or stop Neji. It's my fault. I knew something was going to happen and I just walked away." Sasuke was getting upset now."It's not your fault Sasuke. You didn't know. It was a feeling and feeling are not always true. You couldn't do anything but you saved him from ending up like Haku, missing for a week or so," Itachi said while pulling Sasuke to him to calm him down."I know but still. He was hurt because I wasn't there. I love him Itachi, I can't help but think I should have been there. I mean this wouldn't have happen to him if I had stayed with him," Sasuke mumbled, a little more calmed down now."Don't worry, Sasuke. You weren't there before but you will be there now for him. I know you don't want Neji to stop giving us money but all I'm saying is follow your heart Sasuke. He needs you and you need him. Maybe you two can help each other out of the black hole you fell into." Itachi smiled."You're right Itachi. Thank you for cheering me up brother. Well I'm going to bed now. Good night Itachi." Sasuke waited for his brother to say good night. Then went to bed. As soon as he hit the pillows he fell asleep. He had to talk to Gaara before anyone else got up. He needed to tell him that he was going to be safe from now on. Sasuke would give anything to keep Gaara safe. Even if he had to do what Neji want him to do in the past.---end of chapterI worked hard on this. Yeah Itachi is nice but I want him to be different. I hope you guys like this. If you got any ideas for me. Let me know. I will work it out to fix in the story.Please review!!!!!
