-AN: ….MUAHAHAHAHA FINALLY!!!! (coughs and looks around) okay you did soooo not hear that (smiles) any way…heres a new chappy for you all!! -

Oh my god…RUN NARUTO!!!

If you walked into the hotel room of the sand team you would find a scene never seen before of anyone of any living human or for that matter anything else really. You would find Gaara sleeping quietly with his head in his sisters lap as she stroked the red hair with tenderness that only siblings has for one another. By the wall Kankuro stood as a protective shadow if anything was to threaten his siblings he would be ready…even if nothing had happen in the 4 days Gaara had been sleeping.

Kankuro studied Gaara's calm face as he sleep on. It really was a change from what he was so used to see Gaara without emotions or anger, but now…now Gaara seemed to be so...small…someone to be protected at all cost. And it was all thanks to that older blond, the seal master.

It had really been a surprise when the blond nin had opened the door and shakily stepped thru, clothes bloody and torn as if he had been in a battle with enemies that was stronger enough to hurt him. The younger blond, Naruto? Had been by his side the minute the door opened and forced the older into a chair without complaint from the other.

Kankuro sighed but gave a smile when Tamari gave him a questioning look "just thinking nee-chan…" her hands softly stroked over the tattoo looking scar on Gaara's forehead "about?" she question quietly. Kankuro shrugged but answer just as quietly "how much we owe them…him" Tamari just nodded with a soft smile, not needing to ask who them or him was "we really do, don't we" it wasn't really as question, just a statement so Kankuro said nothing.

Thanks to the blond Kankuro finally had his little brother back and perhaps…a new chance for a whole family. The thought made Kankuro smile but suddenly he frowned. The invasion… "Tamari…" the blond girl looked up at him with a concerned gaze as she notice his frown "what are we gonna do about the invasion?" the whole apartment went quiet at that.

"we are gonna do what we need to…" both Kankuro and Tamari's eyes snapped down to Gaara to see his foam green eyes slightly opened "Gaara!"

………………………………...

"Faster Naruto or am gonna hit you!" Naruto swore darkly but quietly as he jumped from one slim pole to another to avoid a stream of senborns. At this moment Naruto hated his older brother with a passion, and why might you ask did he? Oh the reason was very simple… for the last five…FIVE! hours Naruto had been jumping poles 12 meter high in the air as Gabriel shoot senborn after senborn at him!

Naruto was sure Gabriel had some sick twisted pleasure from all of it. Naruto was thankful for Gabriel's help thought… Naruto knew that if anyone could help him beat Gaara then it would be Gabriel. He snorted to himself, it was somewhat ironic that the jinyurikens where pitted against one another but Naruto supposed it would be fun to fight against him.

But Naruto did one mistake… he lingered and Gabriel struck like a snake. Naruto yelped as two senbornes logged themselves into his calf, Naruto wobbled on top of the pole before falling with a cry. Wind streamed pass him as his body fell towards the ground but suddenly the fall stopped and Naruto pecked open a eye he didn't remember closing and looked into the amused face of Gabriel.

"…You squeal like a girl Naruto" the older blond deadpanned with a amused glint in his eyes as his lips twitched. Naruto blushed and squirmed wildly in Gabriel's arms " I DO NOT SQUEEL LIKE A GIRL!!" he yelled and then blushed even deeper as he heard sniggering.

Gabriel shook his head as he set Naruto gently down on a stone and bended down to pull the senborn out "maa…your so troublesome Naruto…" Shikamaru came out of the bushes with Chouji behind him, still snickering as he ate his chips.

Naruto groaned softly but gave a yelped as the senborns got pulled out. Gabriel laughed softly and ruffled Naruto's hair "I'll let you mingle with your friends Naruto but we will train more later" Gabriel nodded to the other two before pofing away leaving all three of the Genin to stare at the spot he had been in.

" errg…your brother isn't very social Naruto" Naruto gave Chouji a look that said 'duh!' before rubbing his leg "shouldn't you get that looked at Naruto?" Shikamaru looked slightly concerned for a lazy person that was. Naruto grinned and pulled up his pantlegg "don't need to, look its already healed" both Shika and Chouji blinked at the leg "wow…how you do that?" Chouji chomped down on more chips as he sat down.

Naruto shrugged and moved to sit down by Chouji "I always healed like this" Shikamaru snorted and lay down on the ground, watching the clouds "so troublesome you are" he muttered and stared at the sky. Naruto just laughed softly and stared at the sky to "so your gonna stop hiding now?" Chouji asked softly as he handed Naruto a chip pack. Naruto smiled "yeah…time for hiding is pass now and the time for showing everyone why I can be Hokage has come" both Chouji and Shikamaru smiled at that "finally" Shika muttered and Naruto laughed.

………………………………...

Kakashi sighed as the council members left the Hokage's office. When he had been called he had been surprised to see the Hokage old team mates and now council members in his office waiting for him. Really he shouldn't have been so surprised that they demanded him to teach Sasuke but what about Naruto?

Sarutobi gave him a small smile and opened his mouth to speak but before a sound could come over his old lips a much younger voice spoke up "so there still sticks in the mud" a slight snort and down from the rafters Gabriel jumped, landing beside the old Hokage with a soft thump.

Sarutobi laughed "Gabriel you shouldn't speak of them like that" he mock scolded "even if its true?" the blond shoot back as quick as a striking snake as he leaned against the window smirking. The hokage laughed "oh I missed your quick comebacks" he chuckled but Gabriel didn't seem to listen as he pulled a gum pack out of his mouth and popped two into his mouth "sure you have old man…. After all I am your shining star".

Gabriel seemed to have a eye on the outside as he talked "so how come you have four ANUB guards in the shadows Saru? Usually there's only two" Kakashi almost chocked on his own saliva and by the cough from the shadows the ANUB was just as surprised. Sarutobi however just smiled "ah you can still sense them then…and to address your question… it was decided when we got news of a snake"

Gabriel hummed as he popped the gum out of his mouth and divided it into two pieces, aimed for something outside and threw. Two yelled was heard as Gabriel ducked down under the window as he muffled his laugh with his hand "stick's in the mud: zero, Gabriel the gum chewer:…fifty?" Sarutobi laughed "I am guessing you got there hair as usually" Gabriel just nodded before fixing Kakashi with a look.

" don't worry for Naruto…I got him covered" the blond smirked at the copy nin before pofing out of the office. Kakashi blinked then blinked again "he… is a unusual person" Sarutobi puffed on his pipe "Gabriel is just special… just like Minato was and like Naruto is" Kakashi nodded "well off you go Kakashi…and Kakashi" the old Hokage eyes twinkled at him "look at the training area and you will find him" Kakashi frowned as a faint snickering from the shadows reached his ears but nodded and proofed out.

………………………………...

Gabriel moved faster and faster as he fought against a invisible enemy, his face consorted into anger 'how dare they?! HOW DARE THEY!?' his mind repeated furiously as he hit the air. Kick and punch quickly followed but then everything stopped as his wrist was caught. His eyes glanced at his wrist then followed the hand to the arm and then to the face of his 'captor'. Or rather the eye of him.

"Oh great….it's the Cyclops" Gabriel lamented and Kakashi chuckled "like that's new…" Gabriel snorted and tugged on his wrist but Kakashi just held on tighter "let go of me" the blond muttered but Kakashi just shook his head "your angry…and if your anything like Naruto or Minato then you might do something foolish….spare with me"

Gabriel's temper almost flew out when the sliver nin said that but he could see the wisdom and nodded "no jutsu's…just taijutsu" Kakashi nodded and smiled thru his mask before letting go of Gabriel's wrist. Gabriel didn't wait to land the a blow before following up with a series of kicks all of which Kakashi blocked with a ease and in the beginning Kakashi was passive, letting Gabriel hit and kick as he wanted.

But then he struck to and Gabriel had trouble keeping both up with him, slowly Gabriel got driven backwards "let go of your rage or you will never get a kick in" Kakashi muttered and Gabriel growled softly and kept on blocking each of the silver nin's hits.

But then something happened, Gabriel tripped on a stone falling backwards. Kakashi eyes widened and grabbed onto a likewise widened eyed Gabriel's wrist to keep him from falling but Kakashi misguided the laws of gravity and fell forward to, falling on top of Gabriel. Kakashi shook his head clear of the fall before raising his head only to be captured by shining blue orbs.

Gabriel panted softy and stared up at Kakashi as he stared back, his eye flickering to Gabriel's lips when he licked them. It seemed like a moment frozen in time, both of them staring at one another, then Kakashi leaned down, pulling his mask away before closing his lips over Gabriel's.

Gabriel tensed up before relaxing, his eyes falling close at the gentle pressure on his lips, he moved his hands from the ground and into the silver locks, pulling Kakashi closer to him as the silver nin deepened the kiss. A clapping disturbed them and Kakashi pulled away as Gabriel opened his eyes, his blue scared looking eyes before pofing away leaving Kakashi glaring at Asuma "was that…necessary ?" he growled not unlike a dog.

Asuma shrugged before fixing Kakashi with a hard look "be careful with him Kakashi…he's got a lot of people looking out for him that would not step away for revenge" Asuma gave him a look that said that he was one of those people before walking away, leaving the last Hatake to his own thoughts.
