RECAP: Yello

Naruto was wheeling Gaara to Kankuro's room. He had his eyepatch on, incase they thought it was ugly. Naruto told him over and over again how beautiful he was but Gaara felt better with it on. Gaara wasn't sure how to reintroduce himself to them and was getting kind of nervous. He figured he should just go in Kankuro's room and they were almost there when Naruto and Gaara both heard Kankuro get into his chair and they all started leaving his room. Temari was the first one out. Gaara was a few feet away smiling at her in his wheelchair. Temari didn't notice him with his hair all wrapped up. Gaara started sinking in his chair and Naruto got Temari's attention.

"Temari? Aren't you gonna say hello?"

"Hey, Naruto?"

"Temari, look!"

"What-GAARA? GAARA? You're awake!"

Gaara stood up and hugged Temari. She attempted to hug him gently but she was too overcome with joy. She almost broke him in half. Matsuri was right behind her. She hugged him just as tight as Temari. Gaara leaned down to hug Kankuro. Everyone was beyond excitement. They asked him all the basic questions. Then Matsuri pointed out the eyepatch.

"Why do you have and eyepatch, Gaara sensei?"

"About that. It's kind of funny. I'm actually unable to see out of that eye as of now."

Everyone except Shikamaru was shocked.

"Wanna see it. Apparently it's cool looking."

Gaara took his eyepatch off and showed his audience his new cloudy, turquoise eye. He covered it back up when he saw Matsuri flinch. Kankuro and Temari were unfazed by it though. He sat back down and they asked him to go and get lunch with him. He declined, told them he was tired and asked Naruto to take him back to his room. He looked a little down. Naruto helped him back into his bed.

"Gaara what's wrong?"

"...Did you see how Matsuri flinched when she saw this eye..."

"She was probably expecting something much worse, like a missing eye. It's OK."

"It's ugly isn't it...?"

"Your eye? No of course not!"

"...It can't be pretty."

"I think it is."

MEANWHILE

Sakura was back Sasuke's room.

"Sasuke, have you decided yet? If you do end up going I'll feel so alone without you...but if you do go I can't live the rest of my life alone, no matter how much I might want to. It's just for here when I die I'm going to be with you...just remember no matter what you belong to me and I belong to you. No matter what."

Kiba was listening in. He didn't want to but he wanted to know how she really felt. She said she'd be so alone without him. He wanted his job to give her companionship but no matter how much he loved her he was only hers until she could be with Sasuke but he was OK with that. He knew Sakura was his soulmate, but he wasn't hers.

MEANWHILE

"Naruto...if our kids saw this would they be scared?"

"Gaara, our kids would not be scared of you. You're the sweetest, most beautiful person I know."

Gaara looked down and Naruto kissed him. Gaara kissed back and Naruto climbed up on the bed next to him and put his arm around Gaara.

"Hey...I'm hungry again."

"Ha, let's go get some food."

Naruto got Gaara into his wheelchair again and Gaara grabbed his IV.

"OK, you have to be quiet and act natural."

"Why?"

"You'll see."

Naruto smiled at all the nurses they passed as he wheeled Gaara down the hallway. Gaara noticed this wasn't the way to the staff's cafeteria which Sakura had given all of them permission to goto. It was better than regular hospital food but still hospital food. The further they went the more clear Naruto's path became. They were going to the front door. Luckily Tsunade wasn't at the front desk at the moment. All the nurses were giving him funny looks but he kept going and wheeled Gaara right out of the hospital.

"NARUTO! I can't leave yet."

"Do you want real food?"

"...Yes..."

"Alright, now quite whining."

As they were leaving Kakashi was walking in.

"Hey! I was just going to see you and Gaara."

"Oh, well we're going to get some ramen."

"Is that allowed?"

"...Please don't tell Tsunade."

"Ha, sure. Hey Gaara, what's with the eye patch?"

"It's not as cool as yours. I just went blind in this one."

"Oh, well using one eye all the time isn't that bad."

"Oh, I know."

Naruto laughed and started to walk off and Kakashi walked inside to see Tsunade. Naruto and Gaara wheeled their way to Ichiraku's, IV and all. They got a lot of weird looks but they didn't care. Gaara got himself on the stool and had his wheelchair just behind him and his IV right next to him. Naruto ordered them two huge bowls of ramen and Gaara wolfed it down. Naruto ordered him another bowl and after he finished that one he got him back in the chair and they started back to the hospital. They made it back without any problems and got Gaara back into his bed before anyone noticed but just barely.
