RECAP: Sasuke visits Naruto and what not and all this stuff happens. Sorry my RECAPs are starting to suck.

Naruto was well prepared to tell Gaara what happened. He walked into the living room and started to dress Gaara.

"Well, it just so happens that you can know..."

"I can...Naruto really it's ok...I mean we've been on one date...you deserve some privacy..."

"No Gaara I want to be completely honest with you. So we went to that market to get Sakura's birthday presents. She tagged along without us knowing and...well Sasuke rented her a room because it was too late at night to go back to Konoha...they saw us on the teacups...apparently that got Sasuke in a tizzy and he uh...he well uh...took advantage of Sakura..."

Gaara was absolutely shocked and Naruto had started crying. Naruto was so happy that he'd shared something private with Gaara.

"I-Is she ok...I mean uh..."

Naruto was sitting with Gaara on the couch at this point, this time Naruto put his arm around Gaara.

"I never really knew her that well but, it still hurts..."

"Thank you for listening Gaara..."

They started kissing again and were deep into it before they realized it 30 minutes had gone by. Gaara thought it best to leave to get his things from Shikamaru's.

"I'll see you tomorrow night at the barbeque place, 7:30, we're taking Sakura out for her birthday ok...come by at 7 you can get ready here, love you Gaara."

Naruto took his face in his hand and kissed Gaara goodbye. Gaara soon realized he'd just made plans again, he remembered that he'd told Temari he'd be gone for maybe two days. He didn't have time to think about that he was more worried about the fact that Shikamaru might noticed him wearing the same clothes as when he'd been sent off to his date. As Gaara as walking to Shikamaru's house he began thinking about Sakura. She'd always been really nice to him, how could anyone hurt her.

Naruto said his goodbyes to Gaara and proceeded to get dressed and was on his way to Sakura's. He then remembered her birthday, where was her present. Luckily before he went and bought her more jewelry he ran into Kakashi who told him that he'd grabbed 'em. He also asked if he'd seen Sasuke, unfortunately he hadn't. Naruto got worried and rushed over to Sakura's as fast as he could.

He was at her door he didn't wait for her to answer, it was unlocked so he didn't break it. Naruto walked in to find Sakura watching TV. He was relieved to not find Sasuke, but Sakura was freaked out that someone had just barged their way through her door.

"NARUTO! Why'd you barge in like that?"

"Oh I...I just wanted to tell you about my date..."

"Oh...well ok."

Sakura motioned for Naruto to come and sit on the couch next to her. She turned towards him and he started telling her about the sushi place and how they'd stayed 'til closing. Sakura was listening intently but Naruto could see she was waiting for him to tell her what happened after the sushi place. She was probably going to have to force it out of him.

"...and then we left the restaurant.."

"...That's it?...that can't be it..."

"That's just about it..."

"But Gaara was in your apartment this morning...I thought you two...ya know..."

"Oh well...yeah..."

"Yeah? Does that mean yes you did?"

"...mhm..."

"YES! This is fantastic, too bad I don't have anyone to tell but you."

"Heh yeah...if you could not tell ANYONE...that'd be great"

"Oh right, of course...I'm just so excited..."

Naruto could see she was excited. She was shaking and he could hear how giddy she was in her voice. He soon gave her a hug a kiss on the cheek and left after he reminded her of her party the next night. As he was on his way to lunch at Ichiraku's he realized who would be at that get together. Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba and maybe even Sasuke. This was going to be the most humiliating party he'd ever been too. Then he remembered he'd also invited Gaara to come. That would make things even worse.

MEANWHILE

Kakashi was wondering why Naruto was looking for Sasuke all of the sudden. As he was thinking that he thought he should be looking too. He did a sweep of the training grounds. He was about to leave when he saw Sasuke sitting against on of the logs. He walked over casually wondering why he was here of all places.

"Sasuke?"

"...oh I uh...I'm leaving..."

Sasuke got up to leave but Kakashi grabbed his arm. Sasuke turned to face him and Kakashi noticed that he was crying. He told him that he knew about Sakura. He wouldn't lie and he wasn't mad but he was looking for answers so he approached the matter gently. He stood there and proceeded to talk to Sasuke who kept looking down to hide his tears.

"Sasuke...I really don't know where to start...so why?"

"I w-was confused..and...I saw...Naruto and Gaara..."

Kakashi saw that the more he talked the more he cried. He'd never before seen Sasuke crying.

"Sasuke, Sasuke calm down...don't get so worked up...just tell me why"

"I...saw them kissing...I couldn't watch...I could love a woman right?..."

Kakashi was having a hard time making sense of the bawling ninja's words but he was getting the gist of what had happened. He was shocked, Naruto and Gaara. He didn't let his shock show, that wasn't what he needed to worry about. Sasuke's breathing got labored and he couldn't stop his tears. Kakashi wrapped his arms around him and they both sat down. Sasuke nuzzled up to Kakashi's chest.

"Sasuke, calmo down.."

"Kakashi sensei?"

"What is it?"

"I-I think I love Naruto..."

Kakashi's brain was about to turn to jelly, this was a lot to tell him in a time frame of a minute and a half. He didn't want to sound shocked making Sasuke feel worse, he knew he felt bad about everything he'd done. Of course feeling bad wasn't enough but it was a start. He then remembered he needed to respond. Before he could Sasuke spoke up.

"Gaara and Naruto were...well I saw them last night...I went this morning...to tell him how I feel...Gaara was there...I kissed him...he slapped me...I tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen...I thought he might...love me too..."

Kakashi figured out what happened between Gaara and Naruto. He also knew why Naruto reacted the way he did. Kakashi noticed that Sasuke's breathing got heavy again and his tears were soaking into his shirt the more Sasuke nuzzled up to him. He was crying harder and harder. Kakashi held him closer and started rubbing his back to calm him down.

"Sasuke we can blame you for what you did, but not what you feel. Naruto may feel differently but it's not the end of the world. Everything seems like the end of the world when your young. Calm down, there's no need to cry. It might not be enough for you two to be friends but, it might have to be. I think it''l take some time but Sakura coudl forgive you. You should come to her party tomorrow night."

"...Thank you..."

"No problem..."

They sat there until Sasuke's crying stopped and his breathing went back to normal. Until then Kakashi kept rubbing his back and he rested his head on Sasuke's. When his crying finally did stop he and Kakashi went to get his present for Sakura from his house.

MEANWHILE

Gaara knocked on Shikamaru's door. When he opened it and realized it was Gaara, he leaned against the doorframe and smirked.

"Nice outfit Gaara, looks familiar."

"...I came to get my clothes..."

"Yea here they are, so I'm assuming your date went well eh?"

"...uh..."

"Heh, say no more...I guess I'll see you at Sakura's party then...see you tomorrow."

He shut the door after saying goodbye. He realized he might've sounded rude but when it came to stuff like this he couldn't control himself. He was doing his best to be understanding but, how could two GUYS do that? He was more worried about how Kiba and Neji were going to act at Sakura's party.

THE NEXT DAY
