Naruto
Christmas was great...fantastic. I mean I had dreamed for years about what it would feel like to be with a boyfriend who loves me. And I got everything I wanted. I love him and I cannot wait to start a whole year with him seriously, this year has definitely been messed up and I guess Gaara was the best thing to happen to me! And so now I was going to have a whole new year to be with him. That's right, it is New Year's Eve and I am excited about it.
Gaara has even asked me countless of times, teasingly, to take some Ritalin and calm down. But I know it was a joke because I could tell that he was excited as well. Even though he didn't sound that happy about being in the cold, but he couldn't say no after I begged him to go, even if Hinata and them are going too. But we might just not see them...and I'm kind of hoping for that because I want it to maybe be a romantic night with Gaara. There's going to be fireworks! And in all of my stories there's nothing as romantic as sitting on a hill and watching the fireworks. Yes I'm very excited for the festival even if Hinata is here picking my outfit.
"You sure you don't want to wear a Kimono?" She said for a fifth time and I just shook my head as I lie down on the bed.
"I don't care how cute it might be I don't want to wear a kimono if all you girls are. I want to just wear pants and a shirt."
"I can't believe you."
"What?" I said looking up at her.
"You are not dressing up extremely."
"Because I want to be comfortable as we walk around." I shrugged my shoulders as she threw a long sleeve shirt at me and some jeans.
"But I had the perfect outfit to match the bracelet!"
"You have a lot of outfits." I corrected her as I stood up. She was just in the neighborhood so she came just for a few minutes to say hello before she walked home. Neji forced her to the store to buy some conditioner. Really. I'm not joking.
"I'll see you later okay?" She gave me a hug before she left out the door. Again I'm kind of hoping I don't see her. I want today to feel perfect. I saw Gaara sitting on the couch and I snuck up behind him to hug him around his neck.
"Hey." He smiled.
"You know I've been excited about this day like forever right?" I grinned brightly.

Gaara
"Naruto, want to go out and eat? Or do you want to eat something there?" I asked him, pulling him down onto my lap.
"Whoa... uh... whatever you want I guess..." Naruto said, giving me a happy peck on the lips.
"I think a fancy dinner for two sounds nice." I said, returning the peck with my own.
"Where shall we go?" Naruto asked in a mock fancy voice.
"What are you in the mood for? Denny's, Friday's, Friendly's, subway..."
"Friendly's? Isn't that the place with the ice cream?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah but they sell food too... We can get ice cream after." I offered.
"Yeah! Let's do that!" Naruto said exited, lifting both arms in the air. After a few minutes of getting ready, Naruto and I got in the car and headed out to Friendly's. Naruto was texting Hinata for most of the meal, and we actually had a really funny conversation that involved Naruto imitating Hinata. Then we just started talking about random things.
"So what do you think would be the worst date ever?" I asked Naruto.
"Well, first off, you open the door of his car and accidentally slam it into the car parked next to him." Naruto said thinking.
"No, even worse, putting make up on and accidentally stabbing yourself in the eye, and not being able to see out of that eye all night." Naruto started cracking up. I shut one eye and imitated my point. "Don't worry honey, I got this!... we can go to a shooting range..." Naruto laughed witch caused him to start choking on his food, but we were both laughing so hard, I couldn't help him if I wanted to. Eventually we calmed down, ignoring the weird and sometimes dirty looks of the waitresses and other people, and we ordered our ice creams and continued our stupid conversation. After dinner we headed over to the festival. Naruto had his head out the window and he was wagging his tail, watching all the excitement. All of a sudden he sat back and looked worried.
"Look at all those people..." He said sounding scared.
"Stay with me, you'll be fine."

Naruto
"I wouldn't plan on leaving you…but I might get lost." I said a bit scared. There really were a lot of people… maybe I should tuck in my tail just in case.
"If you want I will hold your hand the whole time."
I smiled at that, "Then I won't get lost. Hopefully..." I said mostly to myself. I can't have something like this bothering me. I want today to be nice, games, junk food and…and…oh my gosh a parade!
"Gaara… Gaara look! There's going to be a parade! Can we go watch!" I yelled and he chuckled.
"Of course." He said before he found a place to park a bit far away from the whole festival. I undid my seat belt while Gaara came to my side and undid my door letting me out, he grabbed my hand almost right away and I smiled as we began to walk to the crowd of people standing in front of a street where the parade was supposed to happen. Too bad is that I couldn't see over all the people and I didn't want to plow through the people to get in front because that was rude.
I frowned but just melted into Gaara's side, I guess I could see most of the floats from here so it didn't really matter.
"Can you see?" Gaara looked at me and I just looked at him confused.
"I can see enough." I said honestly.
"Do you want Gaara to have you sit on his shoulders?" The red head smirked while I just rolled my eyes.
"I'm too old for that Gaara…"
"You're never too old, and since were in the back it shouldn't matter."
"But Gaara..." I didn't really have time to give my rebuttal before I felt him kneel down and pick me up so I was sitting on his shoulders. I clutched around his neck in fear of falling and he just chuckled.
"N-Naru…I can't breathe." He joked and I loosened my grip.
"I feel so tall!" I said excitedly and smiled as I saw the parade coming from down the street.
I love parades…they're just so lively. I mean if you think about it there's marching bands (which had to have real skill since there playing in the cold) belly dancers (again real skill. It's cold!)And more. Like some floats and people throwing beaded necklaces into the crowd. I caught one! I saw a kid sitting on his parents shoulders next to me and he smiled at me brightly at me then gave me a piece of candy without his dad knowing. I took it with a thank you and traded him with a piece of candy that I had caught.
Parades really are pretty and exciting!
Soon it was over and Gaara let me down, I stumbled a bit to stable my standing qualities before I smiled at the red head, "Did you see any of that? It was so pretty!"
"Yes I saw it." He laughed and kissed my cheek. And soon we were going to play at the booths!

Gaara
"Hey look at this Naru, free sunglasses." I said, putting on a pair.
"Who wants sunglasses in the winter?" Naruto asked picking up a pair and looking at them. I pulled mine down to the edge of my nose so I can look over the top at him. He giggled. "You look so stupid." and he put the pair he was holding on. "Do I look pretty?"
"You look f-AB-ulous! Absolutely fabu!" I said in a gay accent. The blond kit giggled and we put them in a bag that was given and headed to the next booth. The next booth was a game, it was ring toss. Naruto tried but didn't get anything. "Don't worry this game is hard anyway." I said, trying it. Of course I got it, the prizes for one was only a small stuffed animal anyway. But they had a frog and that made Naruto happy. The next booth was giving out paper head bands that had the New Year written on them. Naruto and I fitted them to our heads. The next booth was giving out beaded necklaces. I got a red one and Naruto got a gold one to match the silver one he had on. I noticed he was wearing his ring and his bracelet and I smiled. Granted he never took them off except for showers or playing in the snow. The next booth was a game, most of the prizes were lame, and some of the freebies were stupid too, but it was fun overall.
"Hey, there's Hinata." I pointed out, watching her smother Neji with Marti Gras beads.
"Oh no!" Naruto said hiding behind me. I just chuckled and pulled Naruto over to them.

Naruto
"No! Don't do it Gaara! She is evil!"
"She's not that evil." He said, but yet he said it with an evil smirk as well so I might have thought they would be working together.
"Gaara…." I warned but he didn't listen to me at all.
"Hey Neji!" Gaara called out to the male in distress. Why Hinata was throwing beads over his neck I will never know. Or maybe I would.
"Hi." Neji said not really having fun.
"Hi Naruto!" Hinata said seeing me behind Gaara.
"Hi Hinata. What are you doing?" I smiled weakly and she just shrugged.
"He was being socially awkward standing alone so I thought I would put accessories that I picked up on him."
"Not funny." He looked at her.
"That's what you get for making me go get you some damn conditioner this morning." She frowned at him.
"Hm." He grunted crossing his arms over his chest in annoyance.
"So Naruto how are you?" Hinata asked, "What did you do so far and man you look good."
"One, of course I look good to you, you picked it out. And two…we just went out to eat and saw the parade!" I said excitedly my tail wagging.
"Fun!" Hinata smiled, "like I said I'm with socially awkward here for a while until Shino comes and lee shows up… sadly." She frowned as if she was trying to hint hanging with us for a bit. I sighed a bit sadly and looked at Gaara who only shrugged.
"We're going to a few more booths so I can prove to Naru that his big bad ass boyfriend can win cute fuzzy stuffed animals." Gaara shrugged his shoulders and I nudged him, "You can come if you want just don't take all the attention away from me." He smirked and smiled. Hinata and Neji didn't really care. They just felt bored so they followed us. Gaara took me to one of those throwing ball booths where you try to get the bottles down. We mostly know that the bottles are glued down so it doesn't matter even if you hit it. But Gaara insisted that we should try.
So I threw one first…missed three times not even close to the bottles. My ears lowered but Gaara pet the top of my head and tried. Spot on. Hit all three bottles and threw it so hard that they got knocked down! Gaara wore a cocky smirk and I rolled my eyes as he asked me which animal I wanted.
"Um…well see the raccoon with the bow tie?" I pointed to it and he just blinked confused for a bit before he choose that one.
"Why?"
"Because you love raccoons…" I said honestly, "It can be yours since you already got me a froggie. But they also remind me of you." I said corny and kissed his cheek.
"Gaara I didn't get to see it much at the party but you really love each other and it's going strong isn't it." Neji spoke and I looked at him and Gaara smiled. "Yeah, yes I do love him." He hugged me.
"Hey look over there Hinata. It's Shino!" I pointed excitedly glad I would be with Gaara again.
"Oh... you're right!" She smiled.
"And lees right over there." Gaara pointed in the opposite direction. Neji just nodded his head once to say goodbye and walked over there.
"I'm kinda hungry from walking around again… let's eat some junk!"

Gaara
"Popcorn, cotton candy, snow cone or that booth is selling cookies?" I asked pulling out my wallet.
"COTTON CANDY!" Naruto said looking like he just won a marathon.
"Ok ok." I said walking up to the booth. "A cotton candy... uh what color do you want? Blue or pink?" I asked Naruto. The lady's eyes flickered to Naruto and didn't look so nice all of a sudden. "Blu- pink! Pink... I want pink." the blond said.
"Yeah pink, and a... is that kettle corn? Man once you smell it you want it. I'll have a big bag of kettle corn." I said handing over a 10 and waiting for my change. She handed the cotton candy to Naruto and then the corn and my change to me. As we walked away I was happy to notice Naruto noticed nothing about the girl's attitude, or at least, if he did he wasn't affected by it at all. It soon got dark, and after Naruto and I hit all the booths, we sat down in the field and waited for the fireworks to start, which will happen about 10 seconds after the guy on the speakers counts down to 1 and we all shout "Happy new year!" very soon it was 10 minutes to mid night.
"Hey Naruto?"
"What?" He asked smiling.
"I'll see you next year." I snickered.
"Oh shut up." Naruto punched me lightly on the shoulder. We laughed and lay back looking at the sky, my arms behind my head and Naruto's head resting on my arm like a pillow. The guy came on the loud speaker.
"Five minutes left!" The next warning was "One minute to new years!"
"Gosh I'm so excited." Naruto said from next to me. "30 seconds!" The speakers projected over the now crowded fields. "Oh jeez!" Naruto said exited.
"20 seconds... 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12..."
"Ready?" I asked. "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" Naruto and I chanted together. "HAPPY NEW YEARS!" we shouted. And we gave each other a big kiss, just as the first round of fireworks set off.
"Happy new year's Naruto." I said. My eyes only for him. His eyes were wide watching the display.
"Yeah... happy new years." I chuckled. He was so cute.

Naruto
"I like those the best!" I smiled talking about the ones that looked like weeping willows. Mostly because they weren't as loud as the other ones but also because they were so pretty.
"I like you the best." He said and although he didn't yell it I heard him. I turned my head and kissed him again softly.
"I love you." I smiled, tail swaying side to side in the grass
"I love you too."
A new year, starting it with Gaara, going to have a great new year…hopefully. Who am I kidding? This is going to be a good year, even if there's going to be little problems throughout it. I mean who doesn't have problems? I just hope they're at a minimum.
Gaara put his arm over my shoulder and I melted into his side for a few minutes while the fireworks continued. But then something happened…can you guess what happens after you don't go to the bathroom all day but drank plenty of soda? I have to go to the bathroom or I might actually have an accident.
I squirmed in my seat and the red head looked at me funny, "You all right?"
"Uh, y-yeah…no? I gotta go to the bathroom." I said honestly.
"The first pee of the new year?" He chuckled and I just rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek.
"Stay right here." I stood up. The bathroom wasn't that far so I was certain I wouldn't get lost…I think, "On second thought, if I'm not back in 12 minutes I'm probably lost in the crowd walking around in a circle. Just a heads up." I jokingly warned him as I fast walked to the restrooms. And thank god I didn't get lost or even fall down! Yes applaud my greatness.
"Hey." At first I didn't know if someone was calling me, since I had just got out of the bathroom. But then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped.
"Why didn't you stop when I called you?" I turned my head to see that it was a guy in a uniform. Like as a police officer.
"Um…I hadn't t-thought you h-had called me…sorry." My ears lowered and my tail hung in between my legs. Why did being around the police scare me so much? Then I remembered I have only been told by some people at my old home that human police didn't treat us right. So they pretty much scared every kid with bed time stories that when I grew up I didn't think it was real…but I guess I was still scared shitless.
"What are you doing here alone?" He asked warningly like the first wrong thing and they would do something to me.
"I'm not alone…"
"Then where is your master?"
"Ga- My master is up on the hill w-waiting for me…sir." I whispered.
"Then why are you alone?"
"I had needed to go to the bathroom…sir."
"And so you didn't just go where you were siting? What kind of pet are you." He growled.
"He had taught me to use a bathroom at all times." I had an urge to roll my eyes but resisted.
"Did this so called master get you these clothes as well? Because I don't really believe you one second. I think you stole these clothes and that is why you just came out of the bathroom." What? How do you come up with THAT!
"I'm sorry sir but you are mistaken." I looked at him with complete honesty as he looked me up and down. "Then what is that?"
"What is what sir?"
"This?" He grabbed my wrist roughly causing me to squeak in pain. The bracelet, "This Diamond bracelet that looks expensive. Is this master actually a mistress? And you just lied to me or did you steal this."
"No I didn't steal anything!" I yelled. "Then you're coming with me because I can't believe you. You don't have a collar which makes me believe you're a stray." He hissed and grabbed the top half of my arm hard enough to bruise. What was I supposed to do? I can't run away, he's holding me. I can't call for Gaara because he's too far away, can I cry? If I do that I might look weak… which I am.
He gripped my other arm too and at first I thought he was going to handcuff me but he just continued to roughly pull me farther away, I almost bit his wrist but that would cause me more trouble.
"Shut up." The male hissed and I bit my lower lip to stop any pain from escaping my lips, "I'm not going to cuff you. But if you even try to escape or harm me in any way I will Taser you." Really? I just nodded my head looking around then closing my eyes to try and not think of people staring at me.
I opened my eyes hoping to see Tenten, Hinata or even Neji…I don't know if anyone saw me but I know I didn't see anybody myself… damn it! Why does everything hate me?

…do NOT hate me…okay you can but if you try to kill me you won't know if Naruto is safe and if he gets better!

If you didn't know, you do now that THIS…is a MAJOR cliffhanger and so I will not post the next chapter up for a while because I'm just THAT Mean!

I didn't edit this chapter, or like I said a majority of these I did not edit. But seeing as there was WAY too much grammar mistakes even for me (and anyone who reads my other stories know my grammar and spelling suck) and so I quickly fixed this chapter since it was short -3-

Review!
