Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters. I know. . it sucks right?

A/N: Ok! 6th chapter is up. Yay!! Anyway . . . I got a lot of reviews that really hated Sasuke after what he did to poor Gaara. –personally, I hate Sasuke as much as they do- Although. . .I'm not going to tell you if Gaara sticks up for himself or not. . .you'll just have to read . . . hehehe.

PS: Also, I realize that Sakura isn't Gaara's sister. When I first wrote this. . .I didn't have a shitting-clue who Temari or Kankuro were. . ' Sorry about that mistake. And. . .my friend was bugging me about the ItachixKakashi thing. I was just throwing in random characters that I knew about. See, I knew who Itachi was because my friend is a uber fan of Uchihacest. . ' So. . .yes. And Kakashi . . I know his soul mate is Iruka. I know. I know. Scold me for putting him with Iruka. Ok, enough of my shitty-babbling. . on to the story!!

-Love TG!

Sasuke pushed open the door to his house and let out a long and bored sigh.

"Itachi!"

As expected, Itachi came walking out of his room to see what his little brother wanted.

"What is it?"

"Gaara's been hurt,"

Itachi raised a brow and looked at the cowering Gaara in Sasuke's arms.

"A few broken ribs. I assume,"

Sasuke muttered handing him to Itachi. Itachi took the boy in his arms and looked him over. He was badly beat up.

"Sasuke . . .how did this happen?"

"A few kids beat me up,"

Gaara finally spoke up, gripping Itachi's dark black shirt. The feeling. . . oh the feeling of guilt. That's right. . .Gaara felt guilt arise as he lied to his boyfriend's brother. He didn't feel guilty for his lying. No. He felt the guilt because he had made Sasuke do this. It was his fault.

'I deserve every bit of this. . .every ounce of pain. . .'

"Oh. . .We'll get you to a hospital right away then,"

Itachi grabbed a coat and turned to Sasuke was standing quietly by the door.

'Something's up. . .I don't know. . but Sasuke is hiding something. . .'

Itachi frowned and walked out the back door, setting Gaara in the back seat of his Infiniti.

"Gaara,"

"Hm?"

Itachi moved inside of the car and started it, driving away from the house and moving out of the neighbourhood.

"What really happened?"

"I told you Itachi. . . some kids beat me up today after school,"

"Ahuh. . .why?"

"I don't know. . .they came up to me. . . .and started yelling things at me. . . "

"Really now?"

Itachi turned onto the freeway and moved his mirror so he could see Gaara.

"Yeah,"

"Ok. If what you say is true. . I believe you,"

"Thanks,"

"You're welcome,"

Itachi took a right and entered the Hospital parking lot, parking his care close to the entrance. With a small sigh, he opened his door and Gaara's door, picking Gaara up and taking him out. He locked the car and headed for the building.

"Nurse!"

Itachi screamed, and ran to the front desk, glaring at the sleeping nurse.

"Wake up!"

The nurse's blonde head snapped up and she rubbed her teal eyes, glaring at him.

"What?"

"I have someone who needs to be helped!"

"Oh. Hm. . take him down the hall and to the left into Dr. Tsunade's room,"

Itachi nodded and did exactly as she said, entering the room he noticed another blonde. The woman turned to face him and sighed irritably.

"Put him on the bed,"

Itachi nodded and set Gaara down on the bed lightly. Tsunade move over to the boy and looked him over.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He was beat up at school. . . "

Tsunade raised a brow at Itachi and shook her head lightly.

"I mean. . what's damaged?"

"Oh. His boyfriend said it is his ribs,"

Tsunade poked his left side, then his right. Gaara let out a cry of pain when she poked his left side.

"Yup. They're broken alright. Leave him here for the night. . .there's nothing we can really do. Except for wrap his side and such. He'll have to heal on his own,"

Itachi nodded and turned to leave.

"Are visitors allowed?"

"Yes. Between 7 am and 5 pm,"

Itachi nodded and smiled at Gaara.

"Don't worry.. .you'll get better,"

Gaara nodded at Itachi and rolled over onto his right side, tears cascading down his cheeks. Tsunade walked over to him and pulled him to sit up. Pulling out some bandages she wrapped his side, glaring at him.

"I know you got beat up. . but by who?"

Gaara's face turned pink as he looked away. He couldn't betray Sasuke again. He had already caused Sasuke pain . . .why more?

"Someone,"

"Who?"

"A boy,"

"I know THAT. I'm a doctor honey,"

Tsunade taped the end of the bandage to the wrap and pushed him to lay down, her face showed absolutely no sympathy at all.

"Who beat you up? I need specifics,"

"Promise you won't tell?"

"I swear on it hon,"

Gaara closed his eyes, and blew a strand of red hair from his eyes. He didn't know if he could say it. If he could say that his boyfriend had done this to him.

"My. . .my boyfriend, Sasuke, did this to me,"

"What?! Why?"

"I hurt him. . . I know I hurt him emotionally,"

"Hon. . he shouldn't have done this! Beating someone because they hurt you emotional is never right,"

"No. I deserved it,"

"No! I promised you that I wouldn't say anything. . and I won't. But if I see your pretty little ass in my medical room again. . . I will report 'Sasuke',"

Gaara eye's widened as he looked at Tsunade. No! He knew it was wrong to tell her. It was wrong.

"Ok,"

"Good. Now sleep,"

Gaara nodded and rolled over onto his right side, closing his eyes, falling asleep quickly.
