Gaara sat in his cabin with Naruto watching tv "Dude do you think that he will really go for me" mumbled Gaara. "Of course did you not see how he gave you that kiss after you helped him" replied Naruto. The bell rang and Gaara got up from the forest green couch and trekked to the door. He stared through the peephole and saw Kiba, one of their only submissive friends.

He opened the door "Hey, haven't seen you in awhile Shino keeping you busy?" "Shut up " Kiba colored "I heard that you two losers are going for Sasuke and Neji's hands." "You better believe it and Gaara and I plan on winning them" shouted Naruto while pulling his trademark pose. "The first competition for Sasuke is tomorrow as well as the informational session with Neji. We are so pumped" he yelled again. "Yeah what he said" repeated Gaara in a monotone.

"So how's Shino? " "He is wonderful I made the right decision when I picked him. I just get so lonely sometimes when he is out on missions. Don't get me wrong I love Akamura but sometimes I need human interaction" said Kiba as he threw himself down on the couch next to Naruto. "Well your always welcome here it'll be like the old days us bothering the hell out of Gaara and staying up all night. That's if Shino doesn't mind you staying the night with us." "Really! Shit I'll make sure to ask him next time he comes home which won't be for another week" Kiba sighed.

He was really lonely and because of rumors of his, Naruto, and Gaara's involvement Shino didn't like him spending too much time with them. "If you want we could come speak with him and help to change his mind" said Gaara while cracking his knuckles. "No, Gaara" Kiba laughed "that's not necessary I can handle him. But I'll let you guys go to sleep you have a night day ahead of you tomorrow. Bye!" With backward glance and a wave Kiba headed out the door. "Well I guess that's my cue to get going too. I'll see you tomorrow." Gaara nodded and locked his door after Naruto left. After a quick shower he hopped in the bed.

*Dream Sequence*

Gaara looked around he was in a field of flowers. Lilacs specifically that reminded him of Neji's eyes. He stood dusting loose dirt off his slacks and wondering where the hell he was. "Gaara? Baby what are you doing come back inside" Neji grabbed his arm and they begin to run towards the edge of the field, but it seemed to stretch on forever.

Behind them the ground begin to crumble flowers, trees, and animals disappeared into the sink hole. Neji was slowing down "Gaara I can't make it go on without me" gasped Neji. Gaara went to pull him and a black tendril shot out of the hole and wrapped around his neck. It pulled one end of Neji while Gaara pulled the other. Slowly Neji begin to rip he let out blood curdling screams as his stomach pulled open and his small intestine fell into the door. Gaara looked on in horror and let Neji go and his limp body was pulled into the hole. Slowly it closed up and the sun begin to shine again.

*End Dream Sequence*

Gaara woke with a start he had a sinking feeling about the day. He turned over and looked at the clock it was 3:30 he still had 6 hours of sleep. He turned on his side and closed his eyes waiting for sleep to come to him.
