Be warned that this is Gaara's craziness in the real world. Most of these are after he's already met Naruto,but not this one! And it's the last depressing-ish one. Next is a modern one, then two Tutor drabbles and I'm done 'cause this pairing doesn't seem to be too popular. xD

TITLE: For Us

GENRE: Drama, (Angst), (Romance)

RATING: T

Gaara grabbed the grenade pin between his teeth, interrupted by the school teacher's shriek.

"Please, don't!" she cried, lunging forward even though her arms were tied to her sides. The preschool children who were also tied up, herded into a corner in the back of the room, sobbed harder. She brought herself closer to the unknown man, light green eyes begging him not to do it. There wasn't much she could say at this point that she hadn't already.

He released the pin, staring at the woman for a moment before a dangerous grin appeared on his lips. The teacher started shaking. "You have no idea why I am here, do you?" he asked, stretching his arm out to grab the teacher's waist and pull her close enough to whisper into her ear. "Terumi Mei."

"Don't hurt Mei-sensei!" an orange-haired girl screamed, glaring angrily at the person holding them hostage.

"Oh?" Gaara raised an eyebrow at the girl, spinning Mei away from himself. She caught herself on a table, turning around in time to see him pull a gun on the girl and shoot a bullet straight through her head.

"Moegi-chan!" Mei shouted, biting her lip when the rest of the children's chorus of screams became even louder.

"Shut up!" the red-haired man yelled, waving the gun at the children. A couple went silent immediately while the others whimpered, unable to keep their emotions in check. Satisfied, Gaara turned to the woman who now had silent tears running down her cheeks. He stepped towards her, hurt by her flinch when he wiped her tears away.

"Mei… They took your life away," he murmured, closing the small space between them while Mei's thigh hit against the desk and she couldn't back up any further. Her legs shook, threatening to give out, but somehow they didn't.

"You had so much potential, so much to do in life, and yet they shunned you because of your intelligence," Gaara went on, playing with a strand of her hair. She had gone stiff, not even daring to blink. His green eyes had no pupils, something she could only notice being so close to her, and her breath caught in her throat.

"Why is a woman like you a preschool teacher?" he demanded, suddenly yanking on her hair furiously.

Tears welled in Mei's eyes and she croaked, "I love these children. It was my choice!"

"A choice between this or prostituting your body to higher-class businessmen because your father wants the approval of society, hm?" he hissed, eyes narrowing.

Mei went back to biting her lip, hard, not trusting herself to speak.

Sighing in frustration, Gaara let go and walked to the front of the room so that he could face everyone. "No matter," he said loudly for all the children to hear as well. "I will end this, and validate my existence – by finding meaning in you!"

"What the hell are you talking about!" Mei stared at him, shocked, as a thin line of blood dripped down her chin. She'd bitten her lip hard enough for it to bleed?

The fury in Gaara was magnified at the sight, and he blew another shot, right into a kid's chest that hadn't even done anything. Shrieks rose in his ears, giving him a headaches, and he commanded them all to stop. They did.

Lifting the grenade to his mouth again, Gaara paused only for a second to look Mei in the eyes and tell her, "This is for you – for me – for us," before he pulled the pin with his teeth and the school building went up in flames.
