Part two: Starting the game
A4TN: Three year time skip even though it says it in the story I through I would just let you know a head of it lol
On with the reviews!!!
Poor Gaara, he's hurting so much!!*frowns*-DarkAngelJudas
A4TN: lol yeah, poor Gaara and it only gets worse from here. And thanks for always reviewing!!! ^-^
I can't understand why you make Sasuke smaller than Naruto when it's the other way around...
Anyway I hope for you to update soon. - Siena
A4TN: first off; glad you liked it, Siena, and thank you for the review but I think there's been a little confusion *rubs neck nervously*. You see Sasuke wasn't mention at all in the first chapter, it was all told in Gaara's POV; point of view. But that was my fault and I'm sorry as, after re-reading it, I could see why you thought it was Sasuke as it acted more like him then Gaara. But that was meant to be Gaara; he he as I said before oocness!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto characters or songs but I do own the story line and some OC characters =3

'Why?'
That one word has been haunting me for the past three years: why didn't I just walk out the door that day? Why didn't that bastard finish me off? Why couldn't I life in this live that seemed perfect?!
"Gaara..... Gaara..... Gaa-"
"What?" I opened one eye to see the grinning fox boy also known as Naruto Uzumaki and the first person that -for the life of me; couldn't understand why- took a strong liking to me.
"About time... Anyway, we need you to sign these."
I look at the mess of papers that Naruto had just rudely shoved in front of me, and raised a non-existent eyebrow at the blonde that set on my desk cross legged and grinning at me, "what are these for?"
"Dunno," he said, shrugging his shoulders. Being helpful as perusal,
This is one of the many reason, I preferred it back when I was a loner; no stupid companions.
I sighed; grabbing the first one and skim reading it, "junction seventy nine?"
He nodded, "yeah; the outer wall was collapsing, or something, and they need men over there while they rebuild."
"Hm," I grunted; that would become our weakest point as the outer wall was much more stronger then the inner one making us vulnerable to attack from any number of intruders and that would lead to a lot more trouble for us.
I pick up the pen and, skim reading the forum, jotting down my signature as Naruto stared off in to space.
"Oi Gaara; you wanna have lunch today?"
I shrugged my shoulders, not even sparing the blonde a glance, "I haven't got anything better to do."
"Okay- oh and Teme's here so we're meeting up with him."
I paused; looking at the blonde before going back to my work. I haven't seen Sasuke in over three years and, if my memory is correct, our last encounter was on the battle field. Both refusing to lose to the other- even if we were a bloody mess with hardly enough energy to breathe let alone fight.
After handing the papers back to Naruto and watching him run back out the door; I let my thoughts drift to my meeting with that Uchiha bastard, 'oh well his probably forgotten…. everyone else has.'
"I've been waiting to do that for three years."
'Or maybe not,' I through as people rushed around either trying to restrain the Uchiha or find something to stop my bleeding nose. While Naruto stood, gob smacked next to me before regaining some sense and trying to yell at the Uchiha and comfort me at the very same time.
"Three years and all you could come up with, was breaking my fucking nose? Really Uchiha; you have lost what made you so interesting to me," I said smirking as blood stained my clothes and trickled down my lips making me taste its copper flavor. As I waiting for him to sneer or at least for him to shot back an insult.
But he smirked back; catching me off guard but I quickly regained control over my emotions and hid behind my mask, 'his change.......tch but not that much; still the arrogant, self-absorbed foul tempered Uchiha.'
He looked me over once more before walking to one of the chairs and sitting down as calmly and collective as always, making it kind of hard to believe; that he just made a huge scene by punching one of the leaders of Sunagakure in the face and showing no regret afterwards.
Determined not to let the Uchiha get to me; I walked over there and set right next to him just as calmly as he did, as well as completely forgetting about the blood dripping off my chin. Naruto still in a daze slowly walked to us, passing me some napkins, and sitting down in front of Sasuke.
I dapped at the blood as I cursed my slow reactions but I really couldn't do anything. I was so positive that Sasuke had swept all my wrong doings and sinful acts under the rug like everyone else had done that I was completely defenseless. Tch, and now I have a bloody and broken nose to remind me that I was wrong with that assumption.
The Uchiha leaned in, when Naruto's finally diverted his attention to the menu, with a devious smirk in place; giving him a sinister look, "It seems like the legendary Gaara is human after all. And here I thought; you knew everyone's next move."
My eyes moved to the menu at the same time as Naruto's did, and stayed there even as the Uchiha moved closer, "I never claimed to be anything but human. So I take it as a compliment that you thought so highly of me Uchiha-sama." I let the last word flick of my tongue as if it was acid but the Uchiha seemed completely un fazed making me frown inwardly, 'what the hell?! Normally he would sneer, glare or at least twitch!'
"Getting angry?" he asked, leaning closer as one of his hand brush against my thigh; making me have to refrain from moving away, "or nervous perhaps?"
I smirked; finally catching on to his game and thought it was about time the tables were turned, "Uchiha," I turn to him; moving closer, till my swollen nose brushed his -sending off a jolt of pain but I was too focused on the older male in front of me to care at the moment- "don't try to play my own game against me- you'll only end up losing."
He smirked and pulled away just in time for Naruto to put down his menu and exclaim he wanted ramen.
"There's no ramen at this restaurant, dope." Sasuke simple responded, leaning back in his chair making the tension in the air disappear completely.
"WHY THE HELL- Gaara, are you alright?"
I blinked, getting out of my daze, and shaking my head, when I realized that I still had my head turn to the Uchiha; making me silently curse before turning to Naruto "I'm fine; I was just looking out of the window," I lied, effortlessly as I turned my attention back to the menu.
Naruto nodded slowly before slouching in his chair and looking at the menu once more; grumbling to his self about dying of hunger by not serving ramen.
"I'll win this game of ours with ease."
I inwardly twitched, 'can't this guy give it a break already?' I thought, glancing over to see Sauke looking at me, from the corner of his eye, "and why is that Uchiha?"
"Because..... your mask is filled with cracks."
A4TN: Whoa! There you have it a -maybe a little on the aggressive side- SasuGaa moment! =3 oh and please keep an open mind because some off the pairs will seem a little.... out that, if you get my drift.
Next part, Chapter three; dangerous apology, coming soon....
That is when I sort out my horrible spelling lol!!!
