Chapter 16
Gaara had woken up, and was just now holding Naruto in his arms, Naruto was still snuggled up to him. Finally Naruto began wakening up around noon.
"Sorry Gaara was a I heavy? I hope I didn't bother you." Naruto said quickly getting out off Gaara. "I didn't mind, you need your sleep, you've been through a lot." Gaara replied, "Come on its time about time for lunch, and I bet the others are worried about you." Naruto nodded and followed behind Gaara, hiding somewhat. Naruto had never realized how broad Gaara's shoulders were.
Gaara entered the kitchen and Temari stopped cooking and Kankuro looked up from the paper he was reading. Temari then looked behind Gaara to see Naruto, "You boys hungry?" Naruto nodded shyly and Gaara didn't say a word. Temari, "Okay, I'm making Chicken Alfredo, It should be done in 5 minutes." Naruto, "I'll go wash my hands." Naruto left the room to wash his hands that's when Temari and Kankuro attacked Gaara. Temari immediately pulling up the picture of Gaara and Naruto sleeping together, "Gaara tell us one thing, and then we will leave you alone." Kankuro stated. Gaara nodded, he already knew what was going to be asked. Temari, "Gaara are you in love with Naruto, but afraid to tell him." Gaara again nodded, "Yes, I am." Temari and Kankuro smiled.
Naruto came back into the room and sat down next to Gaara, before saying, "Thanks for everything, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro. I don't think I would have ever gotten away for Sasuke if it wasn't for you all ya know." Naruto said while looking at them. Temari and Kankuro, "You saved our family Naruto, and helped us unite with our little brother, we would do anything to help you." "Naruto, I've told you, we love you, and we would do anything to help you, as you've helped us." Gaara replied. Kankuro snickered, thinking, 'Gaara wanted to say I love you instead.' Naruto looked at Kankuro questionably, and Gaara looked like he was going to kill Kankuro, because he knew what he was thinking. Thankfully Temari also knew what Kankuro was thinking and hit him on the back of the head. Quickly coming up with an excuse, "Kankuro are you snickering about that Playboy magazine I found in your room? You are aren't you, dirty Pervert." Kankuro looked at Temari in shock, "There not playboy magazines, there my treasure, and I'm No pervert." Temari, "Uh hu sure your not, and Jiraiya Sensei, isn't a pervert either." Kankuro, "You're seriously comparing me to HIM! If anyone's a pervert it's you for going into my room!" Temari, "Well SOMEONE has to do the cleaning if you don't want me to see stuff then hide it or better yet, don't have them to begin with!" The fight continued on then something everyone hadn't heard in a long time happened, Naruto began laughing.
Gaara smiled at seeing life slowly coming back into his eye's as did Temari and Kankuro.
The phone began ringing and Gaara answered it, "Hello, Sabaku no Gaara speaking." Gaara's began to fall as he continued the conversation on the phone. Finally he said, "Naruto, they would like to speak to you." Naruto walked over to the phone, "Hello, Uzumaki Naruto Speaking."
Other person on the phone, "Hello Mr. Uzumaki, my name is Sai, I'm going to be your Lawyer for the Uzumaki Vs. Uchiha case, I would like to meet with you tomorrow afternoon if that will be alright, so we could go over the information that has been giving as evidence to the police, and everything this trial is going to be holding for."
Naruto looked at Gaara and just saw him nod, "Alright, can you come to my friends house, where I'm staying, it hurts to walk at the moment." Naruto was saying the truth; his lower back still hurt quiet a bit from when Sasuke had hurt him.
"Of course Mr. Uzumaki, what time would be best for you?"
Naruto looked at Gaara, Temari and Kankuro. Gaara held up a number 3 as did Kankuro and Temari, "3 o'clock please."
"Of course Mr. Uzumaki, see you tomorrow at 3. Until then." Sai then hung up the phone, as did Naruto.
Naruto looked at everyone, "So there really is going to be a trial." Naruto looked at everyone, "W-will you all help me through this, please." Gaara was the first to speak, "Of course we will Naruto." Temari and Kankuro then proceeded behind Gaara and said the same thing. Gaara grabbed Naruto's hand and held it, "No matter what WE will always be there for you okay, so you can depend on US." Naruto nodded, it was going to be a long path ahead of him.
