Sorry, I was at my Popo's today. I got caught up in sewing machines and fabric and lace she was giving me! Fun fact: I cosplay, so all that fabric saved me so much money! And now I have three sewing machines… Yeah, I'm that lame
Warnings: Bad puns and swearing, bad grammar and spelling errors
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or its characters
"Now they know the world of Pein…T." Shikamaru rolled his eyes. Pein was making puns out of his name again. Worst of all, his puns got even worse as he went on. "Get it? Pein-t, paint?" Pein nudged Shika. Both wore expressionless faces and continued to walk.
No more puns please! His puns are so troublesome, Shikamaru put his hands in his pants pockets and walked in front of Pein and Konan. He heard Pein whispering something to his girlfriend. She giggled and shook her head. Oh no…
Pein cleared his throat. "Oi, Shika-kun, now those girls know what pein-t feels like." It amazed Shika that Pein could say the most ridiculous things and keep a straight face. Then again, he wondered how he thought of all these stupid puns with his name. Well this would be the longest and worst walk ever back to base.
Naruto made a sharp turn away from the shopping center. Those girls should have seen… "Oof!" He ran into some person again! Twice in two days too. He must have some curse going on or something. Naruto's gaze traveled up. Not again, he thought. It was another Academy uniform. Fuck, he was sure to get pounded this time. Still, his eyes moved up.
"Naruto." A monotonous voice said. There was only one Academy student he knew with that voice.
"Hey, Gaara! Fancy running into you, ehehe." Naruto let out an awkward chuckle. "I should be going now, so-" Gaara's pale hand pulled Naruto up.
"What did you do this time?" Eyes burned through Naruto's skull. The blonde boy gulped.
Naruto ruffled his hair and shifted nervously. "Well, this time, Kiba and I-" Gaara wasn't looking at him anymore, which made the blonde wonder what was he looking at.
"I see the all powerful Uchiha has graced us with his presence," Gaara scoffed, looking emotionless as ever. Naruto turned around to see the raven he ran into yesterday. Well, fuck my life. I am going to die! I don't want to die yet! Naruto quickly looked for a way to escape. Sadly the raven and Gaara blocked both ways. He was done for! Oh, it was a nice life! Naruto sighed.
"I am so sorry that I ran into you yesterday, and tackled you to the ground. But you were in my way, I mean like the solar system doesn't revolve around you Academy students. Like you were the stupid one. You should have ran away when you saw an orange sweater student run towards you, it's only trouble." Naruto rambled with out taking a breath, "So if you are going to kill me, don't you dare do it Because I –"
"Hn." The raven smirked at Naruto. "Why would I kill you? You are an interesting one, dobe."
Naruto was dumbstruck. It took him awhile to comprehend the situation. "Ehhhhhhhh? Dobe? DOBE? You, you, uh, teme!" He crossed his arms so childishly. "I'm not a dobe."
Sasuke stepped towards Naruto. When the blonde was within reach, Sasuke reached out to touch the blonde's cheek. Upon seeing this, Gaara slapped his hand away. "Don't touch him. Or I will kill you." A murderous tone stated to the raven.
"Hn." The eyebrowless boy took that as a goodbye. He grabbed Naruto and walked away. No one was going to hurt his friend! After all, they knew each others pain so well. If someone was going to hurt the blonde, they would die. Gaara swore on his life he would track those people down and kill them. "I didn't say you may leave, did I?" Both Naruto and Gaara swiveled around.
"What the fuck do you want?" Naruto shot an annoyed looked at the Uchiha.
"How do you two know each other?" Sasuke looked back and forth between Gaara and Naruto. "You both are so different. You go to different schools, live a different lifestyle, live nowhere close to each other… So explain to me why do you know Gaara, Naru-chan."
The tanned boy blinked at Sasuke. "NARU-CHAN?!" Poor Naruto was so confused. How did this boy get his name?
"Hn. That was quite a performance there. All those girls swooning at you and dog face. You must enjoy the attention."
Naruto opened his mouth, but he couldn't find a way to respond to someone who clearly never had been in his position. "Well, it's funny to see all those people like you feel like what it's like to be a Jin-" He stopped himself before he could say anymore. Of all things, he didn't want some teme to blackmail him for life if he knew Naruto's secret.
This time Gaara smirked, surprising the raven. Gaara never showed emotion. Or even talked to anyone at the Academy. "If you must know, Uchiha, Naruto and I are both Jinjuriki." Sasuke tilted his head in confusion.
"Yeah, we both are! It's actually not so bad sometimes." Naruto announced and bounced up and down. "Well, when we were younger… that was a different story."
Sasuke was still confused. These words didn't make sense in his head. He didn't even know what this Jin whatever it was called was.
"I am One and Naruto here is Nine." Gaara pulled his best friend closer. They were brothers, well more like pain brothers. "They named us after fucking demons by their tails."
The blonde forced a laugh. "Yeah, there's no easy way to say this. It's better off that you don't know."
"No, tell me." Sasuke immediatedly replied.
"Che. There's nine of us. Well, we each have different triggers, but what people like you should know is that our eyes change colors and become more animalistic." Sasuke looked at the crestfallen blonde. He knew Naruto was a delinequent, but an animalistic one? The blonde was nothing like that at all.
"So people like you avoid us. Give us murderous glares. What the hell did we ever do to you? Nothing. Everyone treats us like shit." Naruto's voice cracked. "I helped Gaara out when I was ten. And then of course him being a rich kid with a name, people started to stop giving him those glares. Which I'm proud of!" He wrapped his arms around Gaara, giving him a hug. In return, the red head patted the blonde's back.
Sasuke clenched his teeth. No one was going to touch this blonde except for him. He didn't care if Naruto was Nine, whatever that meant. All the Uchiha wanted was Naruto to belong to him. Sasuke had enough with people touching his future bride. Dog face and now Gaara!
"Ne, Gaa-chan, I've got to go. I'm suppose to meet back at base! I'll explain what we did this time later!"
Gaara nodded. "I'll call you later so you may explain whatever in the hell you did today, Naru-chan." He flashed a tiny smile at the blonde who took off. "So, Sasuke, what do you want with Naruto? Hurt him, and there will be blood. Lots of blood. Your blood to be exact."
"Hn."
"Well then."
"I want the blonde." Sasuke walked towards Gaara. "I want him to be mine." He turned back, heading towards the center. "And, he will be mine, I'll promise you that. Nothing you can do will stop me, Gaara. Or should I call you by the number they gave you?"
Gaara grabbed Sasuke's collar. "Don't you dare. Then again, 'One' doesn't exist anymore. You should thank Naruto for saving your life." Sasuke was shoved back. The red head pushed pass Sasuke, bumping into his shoulder.
Well as you can tell I like puns. I thought of those last night night after chapter 3 at midnight, and of course I thought they were hilarious at the time…. Hope you enjoyed! I think I finally figured out love rivals! Reviews are nice if you want to, and stay tuned!
