Sorry! Please don't kill me (or peg me as a Naruto hater)? 'Bribes with cookies' There is a very good reason, I swear! Just be patient.
Flames will be used to bake more cookies.
Naruto does not belong to me and never will
"Thoughts"
"Speech"
Gaara's face was blank as he stood and started trudging in the direction of his house. Or rather, his family's house. He hoped, no, prayed, that his father wasn't home yet. Or at least that he was busy. Father would never let his lateness slide. He cringed. It was bad enough that… no, best not to think about it.
Naruto held his head in his hands. "Why? Why did this have to happen? All the things I said to Gaara… All those things I was supposed to protect Gaara from. Since when did I break my word!? But… I promised. But… If I keep my promise. No. " He thought. He curled tightly into a ball and sobbed for his only friend.
So sorry for my very short chapters.
Please don't be mad. Ok really sorry, but this HORRIBLE chapter was basically just a teaser for Naruto's reason. Please tell me if I should continue this suckiness.
