Chapter 6

After the incident happened at Sakura's mansion, Ino and Gaara ended up at the hospital for about an hour and a half.

It turned out that she only passed out from a panic attack; Gaara figured it must have been either from Hinata, or Good charlotte.

"So, you wanna go back to my place?" Ino spoke softly to the red headed boy staring down at her with his aqua blue eyes.

"Uh, you sure? I mean its ok with me, if you want to." Gaara replied nervously. Not knowing whether to be relieved or frightened, for all he knew Ino could still be under the influence of concussion.

"Yeh, ok cool, I mean it's not like the others will be needing us at Sakura's house, and besides I only live down the road if they want us they can just come to us." Ino explained to her dazed boyfriend.

Back at Sakura's house, Hinata and Naruto had passed out in each others arms, and Shikamaru threw a small throw blanket over the young couple. Then walked over to where Temari was sitting shivering,

"Hey, do you want my jumper?" Shikamaru asked the cold girl, with a cute smile on his face.

"Uh, yeh, sure. Thanks heaps, I'm freezing." Temari replied kindly, and took the jumper off Shikamaru.

Kin and Zaku were making out wildly in the corner, slowly taking off each others clothes. None of the other group members wanted to know where that was heading so they decided to leave them alone.

Ten Ten and Neji were having a very controversial conversation, while drinking small amounts of alcohol.
Dosu and Chouji were fighting over who got the last bowl of potato chips.

Iruka, Kakashi, Itachi and Konkuro were all having a jolly good laugh by the pool.

Lee was talking to Gai about youthfulness.

Sakura and Sasuke were sitting and talking inside, and they seemed to be getting very close.

Back at Ino's house, Ino and Gaara had started to get a little closer, by now they were holding hands and laughing which was an unusual thing for Gaara to do. Gaara decided that it might be a good time to make a move, so he leaned over Ino, and made her fall back on the couch (they were sitting already) he wrapped his arms around her waist and started to kiss her cheek gently, she replied by kissing him on the lips. He enjoyed this and slowly started to move his hands up her top and undo her bra, but Ino did not intend on it going this far so she asked him to stop but he decided that how she felt didn't concern him so he continued, after undoing her bra he headed for her panties but to his surprise and disappointment, Ino smacked him fair in the face. He fell off the couch backwards and hit his head on the coffee table, knocking him unconscious. Ino decided that she better get back to Sakura's house before he woke up.

"Sakura! Sakura! Help me! Gaara tried to have SEX with me! And I didn't want to! Help me! Help!" Ino screamed, running through the house with her bra hanging out the bottom of her top.

"Ino! Calm down, are you ok, is Gaara ok? Where is Gaara? What did you do to him? What did he do to…" Sakura stopped when she noticed the bra.

"Oh, ha ha, now I see, ha ha. Come on Ino, it's your 18th, let him get a little bit." Sakura complained to Ino.

Ino looked Sakura up and down and frowned.

"Well, well, well, what have you been doing? Huh," Ino asked with a small smirk.

Sakura had Sasuke's top on, her hair was a mess, and her pants were on backwards.

"Nothing! Don't worry about me, I'm fine, just go sit down with Kakashi and the others, they will protect you from anything, call me if you need help." Sakura rushed Ino away.

Back at Ino's house Gaara had woken and was now walking around her house searching for the girl.

"Ino? Where are you Ino? Im sorry about before, I guess I just got carried away, im really sorry. I understand if you don't want to be with me any more." Gaara explained to the walls, starting to sob.

Gaara really didn't want to harm Ino, and he knew that she would be pretty shaken up by what he had done.

"Ino please talk to me, please! Ino please!" Gaara yelled through his sobs, falling to his knees he began to cry, this went on for about ten minutes, before he stood up and slowly walked to the kitchen,

*'If Ino didn't want him, then no one would want him, Ino was his life, if she wasn't part of it anymore then it didn't exist.'* He thought to himself.

Gaara intended on killing himself, after all he did violate the love of his life.

Somehow Ino knew that Gaara was going to harm his self and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Ino? Ino what's wrong?" Kakashi asked her, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Its, Gaara, he's going to hurt himself, I can feel it. Gaara! Don't do it! I still love you." Ino screamed through the tears.

The group realized Ino was being serious, so they all started to head to Ino's Mansion.

"Gaara! Gaara don't do it!" Ino screamed running down the path, with tears and sweat streaming down her cheeks.

As the group approached the house, they noticed something unusual about it.

"Wha… It's sand! He's put a barrier around the house! Damn it!" Kakashi shouted into the cold night air.

Ino ran up to the front window and peeked in.

"No! Gaara! Let me in! I still love you, don't do this, please! Let me in!" Ino screamed, now crying more then ever.

Gaara looked up, from the position he was in, and saw Ino's dirty tear stained face at the window.

He realized that she really did care for him, but surely he was to far gone to be saved, with all his strength he raised his hand and summoned the sand barrier to break, and it did. But that caused him to fall into unconsciousness. Ino ran inside to where Gaara was lying, the rest of the group following her.

"OMG! Gaara? Baby? Wake up. Please wake up." Ino whispered in his ear shaking him slightly.

Gaara lay in front of her with blood trickling from the back of his head, and his wrists, and mouth.
