A/N SUMMER!

Chapter 21

(Naruto)

I had to wait four hours for someone to untie me! I yelled out to Shino but I think he ignored me and then Kiba just laughed at me and took some pictures then Sasuke walked right past me! Finally Iruka, my loving caring father, untied me from my torture chamber.

"What are you doing tied up? You better go to the gym or run outside because I am not going to let what happened the last time happen again!" So here was the deal one time Kiba tied me up for almost 10 hours and when Iruka finally hit the dog lover over the head with a cushion and untied me all that energy I stored up was starting to over flow out my body. As soon as Iruka untied me I was of the chair and jumping on the couch rolling on the floor running in circles and then started to bounce around the table. Then I was hanging on the ceiling fan and swinging.

That day Kiba went home bloody and beaten and sore. Kiba was banned from the house for a few months and Iruka had me off of sugar for a whole year. Back to the present Iruka was rolling the rope up and putting the chair back underneath the table.

"Who tied you up by the way? Was it Kiba?" Iruka said with a cold insensitive voice. I gulped but a smirk was on my lips as my brain started to turn and think.

"It was stupid Sasuke! Kiba didn't let me go either and I think Shino ignored my please." I said sounding all innocent.

"Well Sasuke Kiba and Shino you are going to pay if Naruto ever goes through THAT again! NARUTO I SAID LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK UNTILL YOUR DEAD TIRED!" I ran out the door as fast as I could, not looking back.

(Gaara)

Great this will be great black mail for little dog boy. I was up in Naruto's very bright room posting some pictures of Kiba wetting his pants and had taken some pictures of the dog boy outside naked. Of course I heard Naruto's yells and cursing it was quit funny to listen to.

It's true I had feelings for the blonde however he made it clear that he didn't like me and so I backed off and then decided he was a good friend to be around and I would protect him. In the past I was pretty messed up. I was on drugs and my father use to abuse me and people around me ignored me.

One night after my father beat me and went to bed I left the house to get away from the memory of the night. I found myself walking to a park it was nice and big where I could be comfortable to lay in it and stare up into the night sky. I pulled out blunt and my lighter ready to leave this reality.

"What are you doing?" Came a loud booming voice, I turned my head to see somebody crawl out of the small slide right next to me. He stared at me and I took in the dark features in shadows. His hair looked to be blonde and those eyes drew me in a little. He repeated and I kept staring at him because nobody I had ever just talked to me.

"Oh my gosh are you ok? You're bleeding! Come with me!" The blonde pulled my arm and he got me up and had me sprinting down a street I didn't recognize. My head finally got its ability to send signals to my mouth so I could talk.

"Where are you taking me?" I said. The blonde turned back to me and smiled and turned back to looking forward still running.

"My house so I can take care of you." I was so surprised and dazed that the rest of the run was a blur. Nobody had ever cared about my well being this kid seemed so care free.

"Oh here we go come on inside!" The house was nice and when I stepped in I was hit with a warm tingling feeling and the sweet smell made my mouth water and my stomach gargle. The blonde smiled at me and lightly touched my face with such care for me. I thought I was dreaming or had died!

"Naruto are you home." My mind flashed to the male voice and there was a happy looking man with bronze skin. He flashed a smile at me and then a worried face plastered his face and came at me with light fight fingers touching my face and then observed my arms that had dark bruises and finger prints. I pulled them behind me but the other man grabbed my arm lightly and pulled me into where the aroma of good was.

"Naruto get the first aid kit and some water in a bowl!" The blonde smiled and ran off somewhere. The other man smiled at me softly and a caring way that it made my heart ache and my eyes tear up. No body had ever cared so much for me in my life and it made me feel so happy.

"What's your name? Are you hungry you look very thin here let me get you a plat ok?" The other man was up before I could protest his hospitality. He poured me a huge bowl of soup and gave me butterd bread and some juice and then sat with me. My eyes started to tear up an my shaking hand picked up the spoon and I took a bite and it felt like happy just was poured into my dead body.

"Than- Thank you so much!" I said while stuffing the simple soup in my mouth. The blonde kid finally came back with everything He was so pretty and his eyes really drew my attention and there where 6 scars on the tan face making him look like a cute kitsune or fox.

"Oh thank you Naruto." Iruka pulled out some ointment and bandages and put them beside. Iruka then grabbed the small whit towel and dabbed it in water and gently held my chin. He felt like a real mother…it was a little strange. He cleaned my face and then covered my injuries. He then got up and refilled my empty bowl which I shoveled down.

"Thanks." I said a little shy. They smiled at me and I couldn't help the red tinge in my cheeks.

"You're welcome, what's your name kid?" The other man asked.

"My name is Gaara." I said in a meek voice that wasn't me at all. The blonde was bouncing up and down no and I looked back at him and into his blue eyes. I couldn't put my finger on it but I had a feeling that this boy had suffered just like me. After that night I came around Naruto more and more and got to know him. Iruka kept a motherly eye on me and always made me feel special every time my father decided to beat me.

After a while I told Naruto how I felt and He turned me down as nice as he could and I would never forget the kindness and his sweet words after that. I thought if I stayed away from the blonde then He wouldn't have to worry about me. He did though and after a while I gave up on trying to stay away from the blonde and our friendship was stronger then ever.

My father found out that I was into a guy after hearing me talk to my sister who was turning 18 soon. He beat me very bad so I couldn't move without feeling pain. I was all bloody and my sister had taken some blows and then after that I she ran away from home. I had to get away to and so I did what my instinct told me I crawled and it just so happened that Naruto was passing by my house.

"GAARA WHAT HAPPENED?" The blonde ran over to me and pulled me up on to his back. I felt so safe with him and happy. He pulled out his phone and txt something that I couldn't read and my eyes where starting to shut.

"Hey you fucken kid get your self away from that little shit!" That was my father coming out with a beer can in his hand. I was afraid for Naruto and his well being and what my father might do to him.

"Naruto please put me down I'm not worth it. Please just go!" I said getting off his back. My footing was bad and he grabbed my waist and glared at me then my father.

" No Gaara you are special this asshole is the shit and he's going to get what he deserves and your going to be happy for now on." Those few words made me happy but I was confused.

"Why Naruto? Why do this for me?" I said. Naruto turned to me and smiled.

"Isn't it obvious? I love like a brother and family protects each other." I just stared at him. He said family cared for one another and that is true.

"You little fags I'll kill ya." The other man advanced but glass was shattered and the man's eyes grew big and soon the man fell to the floor unconscious. There standing with a silver pole was my older brother. Kankuro looked a little tattered and bruised from my father's anger but other wise smiled big.

"You alright…little bro?" My heart swelled and Naruto saw my first tears and last I would never cry again because of the past. The police came and took us into custody and hand cuffed my father and Iruka promised everything would be ok. I was so confused that I didn't know what was going to happened to me and The others said my brother and I would have to go to a foster care but then my sister had came back and since she had turned 18 they gave us to her. She had gotten a apartment and a job and soon our lives just seemed to be perfect. My brother and sister started college and I hung out with Naruto and Kiba and everything was so happy.

"Oh Naruto you are my best friend but hearing you yell and scream out like that at Sasuke is just so funny." That was all in the past and right now all I want to do is work on my future with Lee. Oh that sexy being is all mines!
