I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been reading. I'm sorry there's no regular update schedule but I hope you'll bear with me.

Alone in his room, Sasuke thought several hours should have been enough time for Naruto to have calmed down. He retraced his steps from earlier and found his way to Naruto's door. To his surprise, there was no answer and he simply assumed Naruto was asleep. He turned the doorknob to enter anyway, but it was locked. "He's so dramatic."

Rather than try and enter, Sasuke left the corridor to exit the building. He walked around until he found Naruto's window. There were no trees for him to climb and so he focused his chakra to his feet and climbed up the walls. He found a big enough ridge on the wall for him to sit on. Luckily, it was nighttime and he wouldn't be easy to spot.

He peered inside the window only to find that the room was dark and empty. There were two other doors. One had to be a restroom. His own room had no closet but a dresser and he could clearly see a dresser in this room. While Sasuke contemplated whether Naruto was out or it was the wrong room, he saw a light come on from below the second door. "He wouldn't be inside the restroom with the light off...what's over there?"

As Sasuke stood to return to the ground, he noticed the next window over would show him where the light was coming from. He moved carefully over and adjusted himself to the new ridges. After peering in the window, Sasuke discovered a complete other room. "We're in different areas of the building, I suppose his is more like a hotel room with a separating door." He hid himself a little better this time in order to stay hidden from Naruto, who was walking around in only a towel. Sasuke decided to wait until he was dressed to show himself. Naruto, however, seemed to be looking for something. He looked around the room then walked into the restroom, then back out. He stood still for a few moments then walked over to the separating door. He went into the other room and shut the door. "Why is he going into that room?"

Just as Sasuke was getting up to see what Naruto was up to, the restroom door opened and out stepped Gaara. "Gaara!?" He slunk down in order to maintain out of sight. "So that was Naruto's room over there... What's he doing in here with Gaara...?" He let out a sigh. "It's obvious."


Naruto had just finished drying off and had finally remembered where he left his clean clothes. He put on just his pajama bottoms and headed back to Gaara's room where he found him getting dressed. He quickly turned away and stammered, "Ahh, Gaara, don't you have something more comfortable than your daily clothes?"

"This is what I always wear."

"Uh...I have an extra pair of pjs, do you wanna try them on?"

Gaara looked down at his ninja attire covered in straps, then back up. "If you don't mind."

Naruto gave a quick grin then bolted out to retrieve the pajamas. He remained facing away while Gaara changed once more, then plopped himself down on the bed. He had thought things would be less uncomfortable now that they'd bathed together but Gaara seemed unaware that Naruto wanted his attention. He squirmed in his spot and made slight huffing noises, constantly looking everywhere but at Gaara who noticed and sat himself down next to him.

"Is something wrong?"

He turned his head as far away as possible. "Not really."

Gaara said nothing but simply looked at what he could see of Naruto's face. "I'm allowed to.." He reached up to lay a hand lightly on Naruto's cheek and softly turned his head towards him. Naruto looked into his pale green eyes for a second.

They closed.

His closed.

He felt Gaara's lips graze his with hesitation. He wrapped his arms around Gaara's chest and pulled him closer. They sat awkwardly and let the soft kiss come to an end. Naruto laid back completely and lightly tugged on Gaara's waist.

He moved to hover over Naruto and looked him down and up until he met his bright blue eyes. Suddenly, Gaara felt himself blush as he realized where he was. "Is this okay?"

Naruto could barely muster a yes while being mesmerized in his eyes. The black around his eyes contrasted with his skin perfectly while the pale of his eyes hinted he was more sensitive than he let on. He felt his mouth waver but couldn't bring himself to control it. He could feel Gaara watching him.

Just as Naruto was about to break the silence, Gaara brought himself down to his elbows and swiftly wrapped his arms around Naruto. He stopped Naruto's lips' quivering by placing his own atop them. They both slightly moved as neither had ever kissed someone this way; they didn't know much more than being together.

Gaara lifted himself up and rolled to lay next to Naruto. He grabbed one of his hands held it close to his chest. The two of them turned to face each other and every now and then would kiss each other lightly.

Naruto turned downwards and almost into his chest whispered, "I missed you, Gaara..." He held his hand tighter.

Gaara grasped his hand with both of his own, "I did too. It's good you had time to come to Suna."

Naruto moved closer, broke his hand free, and nuzzled up against Gaara's chest. Gaara let a smile through once more, and held Naruto close.

"Gaara."

"Yes."

Naruto pulled back to look at him, "Do you think about sex?"

Gaara's eyes widened a bit at that. "Not really. I have never been close with someone, it is the least of my concerns." "Why is he asking me this?"

He pulled slightly further away and softly asked, "Do you like how I look?"

As carefully as he could manage, Gaara traced his fingers over the whisker marks on Naruto's cheeks. "I don't care about that. It's who you are that matters."

He looked down, saddened by Gaara's reply.

Almost as though reading his mind, Gaara continued, "But your looks do help."

Immediately, he looked back up, a grin wide on his face. "Gaara~"

Again, Gaara smiled slightly. "Yes?"

"Have I ever shown you my sexy jutsu?"

A bit confused, Gaara gave a simple no in reply.

Naruto stood up from the bed, instructed Gaara not to look yet and removed his clothes. He formed the required seals and shouted, "Oiroke no jutsu! You can look now."

Gaara sat up to look at the fading clouds where Naruto stood. His eyes widened as he gazed upon Naruto. He was thinner, bustier, had long flowing hair, and definitely had something Gaara didn't.

In a voice much higher than before, Naruto asked, "What do you think, Gaara~?"

Gaara seemed unable to respond, he simply watched.

Naruto walked towards him and playfully push Gaara onto his back. "Gaara-sama~," she cooed.

Gaara stared unblinking. He slowly began raising his hand up towards Naruto's chest. "He's a girl. He has...breasts... He's a girl." He reached the soft skin of Naruto's boobs and let his hand roam freely.

Just then, Naruto pulled away and, pouting, exclaimed, "Jeez, Gaara, you only want to touch me because I have boobs now!"

Although still slightly in shock, Gaara rushed to Naruto's side and coaxed, "That's not it at all, Naruto." She made no motion. "I don't care if you're male or female. I will still care for you."

Naruto faced him, a smaller pout this time. "You've never touched me before."

"I've never seen a person naked before." He flushed. "Plus, there's only really one place to touch a male."

Her pout almost completely gone, she added, "Did you like it...?"

"Yes."

She grinned, and though her features still resembled her male counterpart, the grin was unmistakably Naruto. She moved back over and let Gaara lay back beneath her once more.

"You don't have to be like this." He looked straight in her eyes.

She lowered herself and whispered into Gaara's ear, "I want you to experience everything with me."

Gaara suppressed a shiver to reply, "You're more open this way."

She blushed. "Heh..I guess it's part of the character."

Gaara slid a hand over her waist while the other rested softly on her head. "You're still Naruto." He kissed her a bit more heavily than before. His hands moved to grab at her hips as she moved her legs to straddle him. Gaara ended the kiss to look at her. "Where did you learn this jutsu?"

She smiled wide, "I invented it myself!"

He gave a partial smile in return. "You can end it now."

Naruto rushed back to his lips fiercely and simultaneously ground her hips up against his. She released his lips after nibbling one and playfully added, "I told you, I want you to experience everything." She removed his hands from her waist and placed one on her breasts, the other between her legs. "Feel me, Gaara."

He swallowed and, dazed, began to move his hands. He let the feel of her fully consume him. The more he felt her, the more the pajamas constricted him.

"Gaara~ Should I let you out?"

He flushed and closed his eyes. He'd never been in close contact with anyone. Her bare body was almost too much for him to deal with.

Naruto fumbled clumsily with the pajama bottoms and boxers until at last Gaara was just as exposed as she was. She turn a deep red at seeing just how much Gaara had been enjoying her. She moved his hands once more to her hips. "Help me."

"Wi-" He stopped before getting out a complete word once Naruto raised her hips up over himself. "...What are you doing?"

Naruto held him still just long enough for her to slide him slowly in. Gaara let out a groan. His eyes opened wide.

"N-Naruto..."

"H-ha..." She began moving up and down slowly, letting out moans every time he filled her up again.

Gaara watched her. The way her hair wrapped around her small body. Her breasts bouncing to match her riding; the haze that fogged her blue eyes. He looked down and saw himself going in and out of her. His hands felt up her back and brought her down to him.

She found his ear and nibbled it. "Is this good, Gaara?"

He nodded and embraced her. She rested a top him then, carefully, lifted her hips up just enough for him to slip out. Her legs moved to one side of him and she fell over to snuggle into him.

She felt so small compared to before. Her breasts pressed up against his chest and her legs entwined themselves with his. Gaara traced his hand over her form. From her outer breast to the arch of her hip. He rested his hand on the small of her back and enjoyed the sound of her relaxed sighing.

Moments later the jutsu was released and Gaara lay holding a now male Naruto. Gaara smiled at seeing Naruto's normal face again. Reluctantly, Gaara released his hold on Naruto to stand and find their pajamas. Naruto made no effort to move and so Gaara laid his pair beside him. Just after putting his on, Gaara heard a soft knock at his door. He swiftly answered the door to avoid a repeated knock. He gazed upon his sister.

"I know it's late. The higher ups want you."

Gaara turned back to his room and over to Naruto." Naruto." He shook him.

"Mmm", He hardly made an attempt to respond.

"I've got something to attend to. I'll be back. You should rest in your room so I don't disturb your sleep."

He shifted lazily, "Mmmk..." Naruto slouched off the bed and led himself to his own bed.

After exiting his room, Temari raised an eyebrow at Gaara. "I didn't know you owned pajamas."

"How did I forget to change?" He looked away from her, "They're Naruto's."


Meanwhile, Sasuke had seen more then enough to understand Naruto's situation. He knew there couldn't have been a girlfriend. But Gaara he didn't see coming, or any other male for that matter.

He stood from the uncomfortable ridges and made his way back to the ground and into the Kage's building.


.


Sasuke moved quickly into the building. Beneath his cool front, his mind was racing. Upon reaching his door, Sasuke almost instantly decided against simply going to bed. He bolted through the corridors and avoided everyone he could until reaching Naruto's door again. He raised a fist but hesitated.

"They showered.

They hugged.

They kissed.

They..."

He joined his hands to make a seal. After his puff of smoke cleared, he knocked.

No answer. "Tch."

Irritated, he waited no longer, opened the door, and made sure to lock it afterwards. He walked over to the bed and set himself down next to curled up, sleeping Naruto. Sasuke assumed the bed shifting would wake him up, but after being proved wrong, he lay behind Naruto and pulled the blankets over the two of them. After making himself comfortable, he breathed in Naruto's scent and was glad he still smelled of himself. Frustrated at remembering Gaara, Sasuke roughly threw his arm around Naruto's waist and pulled him close. His hand wandered over Naruto's torso. Beneath his touch, Naruto's muscles were clearly formed. Even though he was asleep and almost a ball, it was apparent how fit he was.

Earlier he had wondered how Gaara could have missed his presence, but now he knew. Naruto was intoxicating. He could only imagine how clouded his senses would be if it was him inside of Naruto. Again, his anger rose. He sat up and, gripping Naruto's shoulders, rolled him flat onto his back and kissed him deeply.

Naruto's eyes fluttered halfway open and upon seeing Gaara kissing him, he wrapped his arms around him. Noticing he was now awake, Sasuke slipped his tounge into Naruto's mouth. Naruto moaned into his mouth at feeling this new sensation and replied with his own tounge.

With every movement Naruto made, Sasuke grew more angered. This was all for Gaara. Yet, he kept on. Naruto had never put on the pajamas earlier and was fully exposed. Still kissing, Sasuke reached down and grabbed hold of him. He heard a muffled moan from beneath him and worked his hand over Naruto's sensitivity. With a firm grasp, he moved his arm as fast as he could. Naruto broke his way free from Sasuke's mouth to let out moans of Gaara's name. With his free hand, Sasuke covered his mouth and snarled into his ear, "Be quiet."

Although Gaara was being completely different than before, Naruto enjoyed this new development. He submitted to his words and let himself relax. He suppressed the urge to moan every time Gaara put too much focus into his body.

He breathed huskily, "Naruto.." and proceeded to kiss his neck.

Against his will, Naruto made no response but turned his head to give Gaara more access to his neck.

Sasuke trailed down Naruto's body with his tounge, kissing here and there before meeting up with his busy hand. Sasuke faced him, and demanded, "Moan for me," then licked from the base of the shaft up until he let Naruto's head slip into his mouth. And Naruto complied. He moaned deeply, matching Gaara's licks. He enjoyed every bit of it thoroughly and, though his mind was hazy, he couldn't help wonder what came over Gaara. Had their quick session earlier been enough to bring about this new side of him? He moaned and squirmed beneath Gaara. And just as it seemed Gaara was on the verge of doing yet another new thing, he stopped.

Sasuke felt someone approach. He saw confusion over Naruto's sleepy face and tried to hide a smirk. He wanted him to continue. Almost isntantly, Sasuke both released his transformation jutsu and trapped Naruto in the world created by his, now red, eyes.

He let Naruto relive the past few minutes as though nothing had happened between he and Sasuke. Normally, attempting to cover up someone's memories wouldn't work. Naruto, however, was never good at spotting genjutsu, especially while half asleep. Just before letting him wake up, Sasuke added that he'd simply woken up from arousal and found himself alone in his room. He released the genjutsu and, like a true ninja, escaped the room completely unnoticed.


Naruto looked around for Gaara but had little luck. "What a frustrating dream..." After failing to find his pajamas, he remembered their location and went across to Gaara's room. Just as he was walking in, he saw Gaara step in through the hall door. He sighed, "It really was a dream."

Gaara fully noted Naruto was just as nude and aroused as when he left him. "Have you been up this whole time?"

He yawned, "No, I had a dream that woke me up."

Gaara tossed Naruto's pajamas towards him and motioned for him to join him in bed. "A bad dream?"

Naruto dressed himself and lay his head on Gaara's chest. "No...it was like earlier, but you were more demanding."

He smiled. "Did you like it?"

He smiled back. "Heh, yeah I did."

The two of them lay side by side, content with each others' company. Both oblivious to that fact that Sasuke had just made Naruto moan in delight. And in the comfort of his arms, Naruto dozed off to sleep. Gaara simply watched. He felt the warmth of his feelings spreading throughout his body and knew he finally had what he'd always wanted.


Stealthily moving through the corridors, Sasuke recalled the last few moments. He knew Gaara was bound to show up but didn't expect it so soon. Just after entering his room, he got rid of his shirt and shoes. As angrily as was manageable, he threw himself on the bed and tossed the covers over his body. He lay on his side and gripped at the nothingness that surrounded him. He wished he could hold Naruto. Were it anyone else he would challenge them and take Naruto away, but Gaara was a formidable opponent. Taking on a Kage would cause the village to target him and he couldn't afford that kind of trouble presently.

But how he wished Naruto was his. He had no problem sneaking over and taking advantage of him, but he hated hearing Gaara's name instead of his. He snatched out his pillow from under his head and reluctantly held it close. His face buried into the side of the pillow; he longed for Naruto's scent. One arm hugged the pillow tightly while the other desperately slid his shorts down just enough for him to be released. He held himself and hurriedly moved; Naruto racing through his mind. He panted stifled sobs into the pillow. Naruto's name a faint whisper between his pained moans.

To Sasuke, Naruto was the only thing left. Everything he'd done rushed through his head. The betrayal, getting stronger, killing his only relative; everything so he wouldn't have to hurt. So he wouldn't have to cry and yet the one person who could bring his sanity back was inadvertently destroying him.

After just a few moments of this torture, his melancholy tugging came to an end. In his frustrating anger, he clutched the pillow and launched it with full force at the wall. He regained most of the control back over his emotions, cleaned himself up, and slunk into bed. As he tried to fall asleep he debated with himself; should he let Naruto be happy, or steal him for himself?


The next morning, Sasuke awoke as though nothing had happened the previous night. Naruto awoke blissfully in Gaara's arms.

Sasuke stood and made his bed, washed up, and dressed himself. Naruto lazily snuggled into Gaara's chest.

Sasuke prepared himself to head out for breakfast with the other occupants. Naruto rolled around in bed, kissing Gaara.


At the breakfast table only Kankuro was present when Sasuke arrived. They exchanged awkward greetings as Sasuke sat. Since Kankuro had already started eating, Sasuke went ahead and served himself and silently ate. Shortly, Temari entered and did the same.

"I thought I told you to wait for everyone."

"You guys took too long." He stuffed his face.

Sasuke remained silent.

Inbetween bites, Kankuro questioned, "Where are Naruto and Gaara?"

Sasuke tried to ignore the incoming reply.

"Naruto didn't want to get up yet."

"She didn't mention Gaara. They must be together still." He tried to show no rection.

"Hah! He's even lazier than I am!"

They bantered back and forth as siblings do. Sasuke tried to stay out of the conversation as much as possible. He quickly finished his breakfast and gave a hurried 'thanks' before leaving.


Back in his own room, Naruto had just finished showering and was getting dressed. Gaara had left to get some work done and so Naruto had planned to see what Sasuke was up to. Just as he sat down to put his shoes on, someone knocked on his door.

Relief washed over Sasuke when he heard footsteps nearing the door. He'd managed to catch Naruto. The door opened and Naruto happily exclaimed, "I was just gonna go see you, Sasuke!"

A bit taken aback Sasuke replied, "I thought you were with Gaara."

"Nope. I just got up. Gaara's working."

"I'm ready to leave, are you?"

His smile faded. "Not really...I haven't talked to Gaara about Konoha yet."

He glared. "What have you been doing this whole time?" He really didn't want to hear the answer to that.

"Ha. Just hanging out I guess." He felt Sasuke's death glare upon him.

Irritation plain on his face, Sasuke continued, "We'll stay another day, but hurry with your business. I have things to do."

He didn't leave Naruto a chance to invite him in and promptly left. Today he planned to wander through the village. It would give him a chance to figure out why he didn't just take him then and there. Away from the building he wouldn't have the urge to spy on Naruto again. He wouldn't have to see someone else all over what should be his. He just hoped Naruto really was going to talk to Gaara and not let him have his way.

I think sometime within the chapters to come the side story will stray from what actually happens on Shippuden. If I mention a fight or a critical point from the original, it will most likely be altered to either include or exclude certain characters. I hope you enjoy!
