Oblivious to the Flame Chapter 2: Red, a naruto fanfic

The fact that both of my stories have the quality of not quite making sense as to what the story line is has been brought to my attention and in the few beginning chapters it is understandable and exactly what I want

I definitely mean to do that with that first chapter(give Gaara an aura of mystery if you will) but if there are any questions on other things like well what is happening here or something I would love to answer those questions unless there is a specific reason not to. If there is I will try to explain it as best I can.

So this chapter is dedicated to Silver Wolf who was the first to click on the special button at the bottom

Thank you all very much!

A young pink headed woman sprinted across a parking lot. If anyone had been able to look in her eyes they would have seen that they were completely vacant, as if she wasn't at all paying attention to anything around her. That would be, well, because she wasn't.

(inside Sakura's head )

I am so going to be late!

God, will Konohamaru ever shut up with the whining??!

And Haku with the hair straightener and then Inari had to go spill tea all over herself on the way to the car!

Mom just needs to make that little whiny bitchy brat shut up and she needs to do it soon!!!!...HEY! Watch out you idiot!! You almost got us hit by a car!!

Well that's cause your bitching distracted me!

What?! MY bitching? What about YOUR bitching? Bitch!

W-Whatever, just shut up why don't you

Fine....grumblegrumble(Inner Sakura stomps off in a corner)

I dashed through the front door of the school nearly knocking over the boy holding it open

"Sorry!" I yelled backwards as I made a speedy right turn almost running over the school nurse.

"Whoa, Sakura, no running in the halls", I heard her laughing behind me.

Still running full tilt anyways, I had propelled myself through the classroom door when a bright flash of red registered in my peripheral vision.

Turning mid-stride, I looked over my shoulder to see what the red was....and then....I felt my feet tangling beneath me

Watch out!!!!!

But it was too late.

I had been going so fast that I was already airborne and falling head first into who knows what and now all I could do was brace myself for the jarring impact... that never came... instead I felt a solid warmth around my waist.

As my feet settled on the ground I opened my eyes and saw, much to my horror, that a few inches from my nose was a whole open box of sculpting tools. (Now if you don't happen to know what sculpting tools look like I would like to emphasize how sharp and pointy they are. Not a friend of anyone's face or other sensitive body parts.)

I stepped back into something firm and warm, the contact sending an electric jolt to my temporarily frozen mind and reawakening the irritating other me from her previous state of shock.

O my god O my god, o my giddy god's trousers you almost killed us!

I did not!

Well at the very least we would have been blind and then I never would have gotten to see another hot guy again! And it would have been all your fault!

Oh stop whining, we were saved by...wait who saved us...?

You IDIOT!!! He's still standing right behind us and here you've just been standing here like a zombie this whole time!

!!!!!!!!

Reaching down and feeling the strong masculine hand still wrapped around my torso my spine stiffened and my cheeks start to steam with embarrassment and without even looking I can feel my face turn several shades of red and maybe even a few different kinds of purple. Turning slowly around, still in the grasp of my savior, I kept my eyes focused on my feet until I could steady my breathing.

After a few moments though, despite the fact that this holding felt very nice, I also began to feel intensely awkward so I took a deep breath and looked straight up into the stranger's eyes. They were THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES I HAVE EVER SEEN. Throughout my life I've told that I had big eyes, this boys eyes were as big as mine and ringed with a thick solid black shadow and instead of deep sea green like mine they were blue, but not just blue, bluer than any robins egg ever laid, or any clear sky on a cloudless day. These eyes would put all the little bluebells and even the ocean to shame because they were every shade of blue all at once. Then, once again, my eye was caught by something red and my attention was, of course, immediately drawn up to it.

"It was you!" I exclaimed. Seeing his confused expression I continued in a rushed voice, "I mean it was your red hair. You see I saw red out of the corner of my eye and when I turned to look at it I fell." I gasped, "Not that I meant that it was your fault! I didn't mean that at all!! I'm very grateful for you saving me, thank you very very much...wait I'm sorry...um" Taking another deep breath I stepped back out of his hold and stuck out my hand, "I'm Sakura, and you are?"

The boy who was standing with his arms now crossed, looked down at me with a blank look. When I continued to hold my hand out to him he took it but then, instead of letting, go he maintained his grasp.

"Gaara," he said, "You talk a lot."

I blushed, both from the continued contact of our hands and his comment. I smiled sheepishly, "Yea I guess you could say that I don't talk at all or I don't know when to shut up." I looked down at my hand that he was holding. "Ummm...you're still holding my hand Gaara."

He looked down with a shocked expression on his face and immediately released my hand

Why'd you say anything you ditz?! A HOT boy was holding our hand!!! What's wrong with you?!?! God!!! I can't believe I live in the same body as you!

I tried to block out the voice of my inner self, cause, well, I was already feeling like enough of an idiot without her ragging on me.

"Thanks again for saving me. That would have been pretty ugly," I said brightly, motioning towards the tool box behind me. "What can I do to repay your heroic deed?

He looked puzzled, "Why would you want to do that"

Now it was my turn to look puzzled. "Why? Cause you saved me and I want to do something for you to thank you." He was still looking down at me with a very confused expression. "Ok how bout this? I just want to. So, what can I do you for?

He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't need anything."

I sighed, "I see you're going to make this difficult, I'll have to think of something myself. Hmmmmmm....hmmm...hmmm...I know! You're new here aren't you?" He nodded. "Then I'll show you around for the day! And if by the end of the day you can't stand me, well then, I'll leave you alone, no strings attached. Deal?"

I watched his face as he thought about my proposal, inner was right, he really was hot. His gorgeous gorgeous eyes were set in a lean alabaster face with a razor thin nose and though his mouth was now frowning in thought his lips just looked so dahm kissable! Looking back up at his distractingly brilliant red hair again I noticed a red kanjin tattoo nearly hidden under his bangs. I wonder what it means..."Huh, what I'm sorry?" I said, "Did you say something?"

YOU ARE AN IDIOT he was talking to you and you didn't even notice

shudup

Gaara looked at me in the 'are you crazy?' way, "I said yes, you can show me around today."

I smiled a blindingly brilliant smile, "Well then Mr. Gaara sir let me tell you a little about our lovely school where our lives all consist of homework based torture, sleep deprivation and caffeine in all forms"

This was going to be so much fun!
