It was a nice and average day as Sasuke and Naruto walked leisurely down the street. Naruto casually grabbed Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke turned to Naruto. "Naruto? What are you doing?"
"...Holding your hand."
"But...we're in public...," Sasuke stated quietly as he looked around for anyone who might notice.
"So."
"So? Do you want the whole village to know we're going out?"
"Sasuke, I love you. I don't care anymore," Naruto stated plainly.
"Well, I do! I'm an Uchiha. I have a reputation to uphold." Sasuke said as he pulled his hand away.
"You and your reputation. If you really loved me that wouldn't matter," Naruto complained.
"Oh, not this again." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Well it's true."
"Well if you really loved me you wouldn't still be going out with Hinata," Sasuke replied, trying to throw Naruto's words back at him.
"I was wondering when you'd bring that up."
"Well you can't have it both ways Naruto. Eventually it's going to come down to me or her. Pick a side already!"
"Hey, you said it didn't bother you," Naruto reminded him.
"Well I lied," Sasuke pouted as he folded his arms.
Just then Gaara was walking towards them. Noticing that they were fighting again he let out an annoyed sigh and walked between them, hitting them both upside the head as he passed.
"Ow!" Naruto shouted as he put his hand to his head in pain.
"What the hell?!" Sasuke yelled after Gaara.
"Stop fighting already!" Gaara yelled back as he continued walking. "You're giving me a headache."
"Sasuke, they're going to find out sooner or later. We can't hide this forever." Naruto stated, turning his attention back to the previous conversation.
"Why the hell not?"
"Sasuke, I am not living my entire life with you in secret!" Naruto yelled rather loudly.
"Naruto, could you keep it down?" Sasuke asked in almost a whisper.
"Why? Afraid someone might hear?"
"Yes, actually!"
Suddenly, Ino appeared and started to run up to Sasuke. "Hey! Sasuke!"
"Uh...hi Ino," Sasuke replied awkwardly.
Ino then pushed Naruto aside and put an arm around Sasuke's shoulder "So...I heard you and Sakura broke up. Does that mean you're available?" She asked in a flirtatious voice as she winked at Sasuke.
Sasuke quickly glanced at Naruto, knowing that he probably wasn't too pleased. Naruto stood with his arms folded glaring at Sasuke.
"...Uh...what did Sakura tell you exactly?" Sasuke asked as he turned his attention back to Ino.
"Not much actually. I tried to get her to tell me why you two broke up but she wouldn't."
"Well, sorry I'm taken." Sasuke stated rather simply as he removed Ino's arm from his shoulder.
"What? No way! By who?" Ino demanded.
"None of your business."
"Aww...come on I wanna know. Who's my competition?"
"Your not my type."
"And who exactly is your type?"
Just then Gaara appeared and, overhearing the conversation, began to laugh. "Blonde and masculine."
"...Gaara!" Sasuke shouted. He didn't exactly want all of Konoha to know about him and Naruto.
"...Gaara? Wait...but...I'm blonde..," Ino stuttered in confusion.
"Trust me, he's not talking about you. Get a clue and take a hike!" Snapped Naruto suddenly.
"...Naruto!" Sasuke shouted as he turned to face Naruto who was still standing with his arms crossed.
"What?"
"...Um...wait...I'm confused." Ino continued as she looked back and forth from Sasuke to Naruto to Gaara and back around again.
"Trust me, your better off not knowing." Gaara stated as he lead Ino away from Naruto and Sasuke.
"Where did you come from anyway?" Sasuke asked, turning his attention to Gaara.
"That's a question for your parents."
"...My parents are dead."
"What a coincidence, so are mine!" Gaara exclaimed as he turned and walked away.
"How does he do that?"
"What?" asked Naruto, letting his arms rest at his sides again.
"He shows up at the most random times."
"He has a twisted sense of humor."
"Hey, you're pretty protective of me aren't you?" Sasuke asked politely, turning to Naruto.
"W...what do you mean?" Naruto stuttered as he stared at Sasuke blankly.
"You should've seen the look on your face when Ino had her arm around me."
Naruto looked away from Sasuke, trying to avoid eye contact. "I...I don't know what you're talking about..."
" ...You were jealous!" Sasuke exclaimed suddenly.
"No. I...I just don't appreciate someone else fondling and flirting with my man."
"You were so jealous."
"Maybe...just...just a little." Naruto stuttered as he slowly faced Sasuke again.
"Awww...Naruto...," Sasuke smiled as he wrapped his arms around Naruto and hugged him. "Your so sweet..."
"...Sasuke..." Naruto blushed slightly.
Later that evening Gaara was just about to leave his office when he noticed a jacket on the couch. "Hmmm...looks like Sasuke's." He sighed. "I guess I should return it." And with that, Gaara grabbed the jacket off the couch and walked over to Sasuke's house.
When Gaara arrived at Sasuke's house he knew immediately that Naruto was there. He could hear them from inside the house.
Naruto was giggling childishly. "...Sasuke stop...Sasuke...stop...that tickles..."
Gaara let out a heavy sigh as he knocked on the door.
"Sasuke...stop...go get the door..."
"Alright, alright I'm going...where're my pants?..."
After a few minutes Sasuke answered the door shirtless but, fortunately, wearing pants. "...Gaara?" Sasuke asked, surprised to see Gaara at his door.
Gaara, not wanting to stay longer then he had to, threw the jacket at Sasuke. "You left it in my office." He then began to walk away.
"Oh...um...thanks," Sasuke replied, starring blankly. "Did you want to come in? " He asked politely. He then glanced inside his house. "I just have to find my shirt..."
"No thanks I'm sure you're..."busy." "
"Oh no, not at all. Me and Naruto were just..."
He was cut off by Gaara' s 'I don't wanna know' glare.
"...Watching a movie," Sasuke continued cautiously.
"Sure..." Gaara didn't exactly believe him.
"Come on I insist." Sasuke said happily as he pulled Gaara into his house. "Hey?! Naruto?!"
"Yeah?!" Naruto yelled from the other room.
"Where's my shirt?!"
"On the floor! By the bed!" Naruto walked out of the room putting on his shirt. "Who's here?"
Sasuke went into the room quickly to grab his shirt.
Naruto noticed Gaara standing just inside the doorway and greeted him happily. "Oh, hi Gaara."
"Um...hi." Gaara replied stepping a little further into the house and into Sasuke's living room.
Suddenly there was another knock at the door.
"I got it!" Naruto shouted as he headed to the door.
"Who is it?" Sasuke asked as he walked out of the room wearing his shirt.
Naruto opened the door and noticed it was Hinata. "...Oh...hey Hinata, come in."
Hinata stepped into the house. "Umm...hi Naruto...," she greeted him. She then lifted up a pair of boxer shorts and handed them to Naruto blushing. "You umm...left these at my house last night..."
"Oh...thanks," Naruto said casually, taking them from her.
"...Naruto, can I talk to you for a moment?...alone." Sasuke asked, sounding oddly annoyed.
"Yeah,...sure Sasuke." Naruto replied confused as he followed Sasuke into the other room.
Once they were in the other room Sasuke shut the door so Hinata and Gaara wouldn't hear. "You're sleeping with Hinata!" Sasuke shouted suddenly in an accusing tone.
"...Well we are going out...," Naruto said casually.
"And when were you planning on telling me this?! You're the one who complains about my fantasies of Gaara and here you are sleeping with Hinata!"
"It's not uncommon for people who are going out to be sexually intimate. We sure as hell are. Besides, you said it didn't bother you," Naruto reminded him.
"That you were going out! Not that you were having sex with her!"
"Well what'd you think I was just going to hug and hold her hand? I told you I still liked her."
"Well it's about time you tell her the truth, don't you think?" Sasuke said glaring at Naruto.
"But...I can't...She'll be devastated. That and the-"
"Don't you dare say the sex is good," Sasuke interrupted.
"Well...it is..."
"I don't believe this!" Sasuke shouted throwing his arms in the air.
"...Sasuke..."
Meanwhile back in the living room Gaara and Hinata stood there feeling rather awkward. "...Hi," Gaara said finally.
"...Umm...hi...," Hinata replied as she looked away shyly.
"...Umm...I meant to ...umm apologize for ...umm...kissing you that one day...I kinda-"
"Oh...It...it's ok...d...don't worry about it..."
"I'm not usually...like that...j...just so you know."
There was another long period of silence before Gaara spoke again. "...Well...this is awkward..."
"Yeah..."
Just then the door from the other room opened slightly. "Well go on, she's right there." Sasuke said as he tried to lead Naruto back into the living room.
"Wait, Sasuke I can't just-"
Sasuke then pushed Naruto into the living room in front of Hinata and Gaara who just stood there with blank looks on their faces.
"Hinata, Naruto has something to tell you." Sasuke stated as he pushed Naruto towards Hinata.
"Sasuke!"
"...W...what is it Naruto?" Hinata asked.
"...Um...I uh...well...I'm...um...," Naruto stuttered as he glanced back at Sasuke who was standing with his arms crossed, glaring at him. "How do you feel about threesomes?" Naruto asked suddenly.
"What?!" Sasuke shouted.
"...Uh..." Hinata didn't exactly know how to reply to that.
"Who decided this?!" Sasuke demanded.
"We did. Just a few minutes ago. Don't you remember?" Naruto explained as he glared at Sasuke, telling him to keep his mouth shut and go along with it.
"I don't think so!" Sasuke replied angrily. "If we're having a threesome with any one here it's Gaara!"
"Wait, excuse me, what?!" Gaara exclaimed as he clued into what was happening.
"Well since we're all here why not make it a foursome! I mean why the hell not?" Naruto shouted suddenly.
"Um...who said I'm doing anything with anyone?!" Gaara asked angrily.
"Yeah...umm...I really don't think I'd feel comfortable...," Hinata added.
"Naruto, how many times do I have to tell you. I don't like girls!" Sasuke shouted.
"Umm...Naruto?...What's going on?" Hinata asked finally.
Naruto let out a sigh. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. "Um...Hinata...I'm bi."
Hinata just stood there staring blankly at Naruto.
Gaara then reached over and patted Hinata consolingly on the back. "That's right, just let it sink in. It might take a little while."
"And...um...I guess I've...umm...kind of been cheating on you...," Naruto continued.
" ..."Kind of?" " Hinata asked confused. "How do you..."kind of" cheat on someone? And with who a..are you "kind of" cheating on me with?"
"...Um...Sasuke...," Naruto answered in a low voice.
"Y...you're ...cheating on me...with ...Sasuke..." Hinata stuttered with tears in her eyes. "Naruto...how...how could you?" Hinata asked with disappointment.
"I...I'm sorry...I..." Not knowing what to say he tried to consol her with a hug.
"D...Don't touch me." Hinata replied as she pushed Naruto away crying.
"Hinata..." Naruto again tried to consol her with a hug.
"I said don't touch me!" Hinata yelled suddenly.
" ...I...I'm sorry...," Naruto apologized again.
Gaara then places an arm around Hinata's shoulder consolingly.
Hinata glared at Naruto, tears still in her eyes.
Naruto suddenly felt a little frightened.
"Naruto...how could you!" Hinata yelled again. "I can't believe you'd just...Damn it! I loved you!!" She then charged violently at Naruto.
"Woah." Gaara, reacting quickly to the situation, grabbed Hinata by the waist and held her back.
"Let me go!" Hinata yelled as she struggled to break free from Gaara.
"...Hinata..." Naruto was still trying to find the right words to apologize.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Hinata continued.
"Hey...Hinata...calm down..." Gaara said as he held Hinata from charging at Naruto.
Hinata didn't even seem to hear him. She was far too hysterical. "I can't believe you'd do this to me! What made you think you had the right to... I'm not some piece of property you can use for your own amusement whenever you want a change of sex! My heart is not a toy!!
"I...I'm sorry...," Naruto apologized again.
"Of all people your the last I would ever expect to...I can't believe you'd just go behind my back and...How could you humiliate me like this?!" Hinata continued.
"I...I meant to tell you...I did...but I just...didn't want to...hurt you...," Naruto tried to explain but realizing how foolish his explanation was he bowed his head and looked away.
"Naruto, you hurt me more by not telling me and sneaking around behind my back! I can't believe you didn't even have the decency to tell me first! I'm so...Damn it!" Hinata was still yelling hysterically.
Sasuke leaned over to Naruto. "She is pissed at you. I don't think I've ever seen Hinata this angry before. I'm kind of scared."
Naruto ignored Sasuke's comment. " ...Can't we...still be...friends?" Naruto asked as a last attempt to be 'cute.'
"I'll rip your heart out and feed it to you!!" Hinata shouted as she flung herself forward towards Naruto. Luckily Gaara still had a firm hold on her.
"...I think that's a no." Sasuke stated in a low voice to Naruto.
Naruto just stood there with nothing to say. All he could do was watch his 'girlfriend' flail around helplessly as she tried to kill him. He was very thankful Gaara was there to hold her back.
Gaara, struggling to hold Hinata, tried to convince her to relax. "Come on...calm down would ya...you won't...gain anything...by hurting him..."
Hinata flailed violently, trying to hit Gaara in order to break free. "Let me go!! I wanna kill him!!"
Gaara was, obviously, protected by his sand from any of her hits. "That's exactly why I'm not letting you go."
"Damn it!" Hinata shouted.
Naruto still stood there with his head bowed and turned away. He was ashamed of himself for hurting her that way.
"Hinata...please calm down..." Gaara pleaded. He was desperately trying to think of a way to calm her down.
"I'll kill him!! I'll kill him!! I'll kill h-"
Suddenly Gaara spun Hinata around to face him and kissed her.
Hinata was stunned and didn't know haw to react.
"...Wow..." Naruto stated, surprised.
"Didn't see that one coming..." Sasuke added.
"...Gaara...?" Hinata looked up at Gaara with confusion.
Gaara turned away, blushing slightly. "Well,...uh...it seems that's the second time I kissed you on impulse...and...it also seems I lied when I said-"
Then Hinata suddenly returned his kiss. Now Gaara was the one unsure of how to react.
"Now that I didn't see coming..." Naruto stated in amazement.
Sasuke had no comment to add.
"...H...Hinata? I...I didn't know you even liked me?" Gaara asked.
"I like you!" Sasuke shouted suddenly.
Gaara and Hinata just stared strangely at Sasuke while Naruto glared angrily at him.
"Sorry." Sasuke apologized in slight embarrassment.
"Um...I didn't know I liked you either...I was always...to afraid to...approach you..." Hinata explained, turning her attention back to Gaara.
"I get that a lot." Gaara replied.
"...And then you kissed me that day and...umm...talked to me a bit and...umm...kissed me again..." Hinata continued, blushing.
"You doing anything tonight?" Gaara asked with curiosity.
"Not anymore." Hinata replied with a slightly bitter tone.
Naruto looked away still feeling ashamed.
"...Wanna go for a coffee or something?" Gaara asked.
"...Sure." Hinata answered smiling and blushing slightly.
Gaara then Kissed Hinata lightly on the lips and placed his arm around her lower back as they left the house.
Naruto stood there and watched still unable to say anything.
"Dude, Gaara just stole your girlfriend." Sasuke stated with only a hint of sympathy.
"...Wanna finish watching that movie?" Naruto asked finally.
"Yeah...sure..." Sasuke replied. "Unless you know...you wanna..."
"Not in the mood Sasuke."
"Ok, ok...I'm just sayin'...ya know...I mean I'm up for it if-"
"Sasuke...not tonight."
"Right, not in the mood, I got it."
They went into the bedroom and laid down on the bed. Naruto laid close to Sasuke, resting his head on his chest.
Sasuke put an arm around Naruto's shoulder. "...Hey...you ok Naruto?" Sasuke asked with concern after noticing Naruto seemed rather depressed."
Naruto let out a long sigh. "Yeah Sasuke...I'm fine. After all...," he said looking up at Sasuke with a smile. "I have you."
Awwwwwww...that has to be the cutest way I've ever ended a chapter.
By the way, what do you guys think of me putting Gaara with Hinata? Normally I'm against Gaara couples but in this case...I think it works out ok. I can handle Gaara with Hinata...probably because she reminds me of me and I love Gaara. I have to give credit to my friend Kaitlin for that idea...actually without her I would have never made this thing at all. I also have to give credit to my friend Kristie for giving me some ideas for not only this chapter but some of the other ones as well.
Where would I be without my crazy anime friends?
Also, if you have an idea you think could work for an upcoming chapter feel free to let me know. I may not use your idea completely but it will most defiantly give me inspiration.
Also, one last thing, promise, I think it's fair to let you know that it might be awhile before I get chapter 6 up. I'm still in the process of writing it.
