Sorry for the very late update. You all should know what was happening with since last week so...well...ah at least I update it

I wrote it much more than usual. Enjoy it~!

The morning came quicker than expected. The sun was shining brightly in the pale blue sky, bathing the village in golden rays. It was the start of a new day for everything. Including a new start to a recently married couple, whom slept peacefully in their shared room.

The red haired male was first to wake from his sound sleep. Raising his pale arms to his face, he rubbed his eyes sleepily before sitting up and looking round, slightly confused on where his husband was. After a few moments he found the sleeping blonde on the floor, only his left leg remained on the bed. The rest of his body was tangled amongst the blankets.

"N-Naruto ...?" Gaara was rather speechless, slightly amazed at how his husband was still sleeping like that, the position looked so ... uncomfortable.

The red head approached the blonde slowly, tilting his head slightly, watching his husband sleep. He looked ... kind of cute, his face looked so peaceful and serene, completely worry free. His hair looked a lot messier than usual. Tanned arms were stretched above his head. Again Gaara thought it looked uncomfortable, but as long as he was well rested, that's all that mattered right?

"Ah ... I have to wake him up ...," Gaara whispered to himself before casting his gaze over to the clock. The hour hand was pointing to the number six. Everyone from Suna, including his family, was probably getting ready to leave Konoha.

Gaara kneeled down beside Naruto, wondering how he would wake him up. Usually Temari knocked Kankurou from his bed to wake up the puppeteer, fortunately for the red head, he hardly ever slept. So he never needed a wakeup call.

But Naruto had already fallen from the bed, so what could he do? He didn't want to hit him or do anything bad to wake him up.

Wondering silently to himself, the red head stood up. This was something simple, he had never done before. He had never slept in the same bed as someone ... well actually he hardly ever slept.

'Ah, maybe I can let him wake up by himself, I mean it's still early,' he thought to himself and his heart agreed. Walking over to the dresser and grabbed his neatly folded clothes and wandered into the bathroom to clean and freshen up.

After changing his clothes, the redhead walked into the kitchen. Now he was married, there would be no one who would prepare him breakfast right? Usually, Temari was the one who was in charge of cooking. Gaara rarely ever touched anything in the kitchen, but it couldn't be that hard right? Again he pondered what Naruto ate for breakfast, what did he eat, or cook? What was his favourite food again ... ah that was right, Ramen. The blonde loved his ramen, but Gaara couldn't make that, and he didn't want to eat that first thing in the morning.

'I should really make something simple,' he thought and opened the fridge, inwardly thanking his older sister, who had kindly restocked the fridge. His eyes darted over the shelves, what could he make without failing on his first try?

'Maybe omelette or fried rice,'

Well, he hoped everything would go well, and be edible.

The blonde woke up once his nose caught the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. He rubbed his eyes lazily and stretched his arms above his head. He wasn't very surprised when he noticed he was on the floor. He probably fell when he was asleep; it answered the silent question on why was his body so stiff. The hard floor wasn't the best place to crash for the night.

Slowly getting up, and hearing an audible crack sound from his spine, he looked around for his husband, where was he? The enticing scent caught his attention again, it was so good ... but somehow it felt strange.

Ah, before getting married, he had lived here alone, so he never had anyone to prepare breakfast for him. He used to make it himself, even though it was a bit unhealthy because all he could make was instant noodles ... and well other instant foods.

His feet led him to the kitchen where he caught the redhead cooking. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. It was a view he missed so much, it felt strange again, but not bad at all.

"Ohayo," Naruto managed to say after he was satisfied with watching Gaara cooking.

Gaara turned round, only to find Naruto leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed against his chest, hair still very messy. A warm smile lit up his face.

"O-ohayo...," Gaara replied before turning his attention back to his cooking.

"It smells nice in here, what are you cooking? Naruto asked, standing up straight and letting his arms lie limply by his sides before approaching the redhead. Usually the kitchen was filled with the aroma of instant noodles, but no it was so different. Everything was different actually, and it was good Gaara was using the kitchen how it was suppose to be used. Yeah, for cooking ... not the other reason...

"Oh ... I'm just trying to cook omelette for breakfast," Gaara spoke up, smiling softly. Naruto nodded, noticing he used the word 'trying' so it meant his husband wasn't used to cooking, but seeing him try his best to prepare breakfast for them both was nice.

"Oh okay then, I will go clean myself up and change my clothes, do your best!" Naruto smirked and left the kitchen as Gaara nodded, a small blush dusted over his cheeks and nose.

The blonde walked back to his room and grabbed his clothes, a smile failed to leave his face. It felt great to have someone living with him; he was growing bored of living alone. He had lived by himself since he was small, but it never felt right, he felt isolated and cold, having no one there to talk to, or hold him close. Even though he had made many friends, nothing could replace the loneliness he felt when he opened his front door.

'But, hopefully, it won't be lonely anymore,' he thought, the smile turning into a grin.

He wandered into the bathroom and cleaned himself off before changing his clothes. Once he was done, he walked out and went back to the kitchen. Gaara was still cooking and doing his best to prepare their food. The blond smiled, a foreign feeling building up in his heart, before spreading throughout his body, touching his toes and fingertips.

...And Gaara ... was wearing ... a white apron ... he looked so ... uhm ... cute.

Eh ... what?

Naruto felt his face warm up instantly because of his own thoughts, what the hell was he thinking? That was just so...

"Naruto?"

"EH? AH!" Naruto was startled to find Gaara was looking at him, confusion obvious on his face. Casting a quick smile and shaking his head he walked over to the red head.

"What is it?"

"What are you doing? Breakfast is ready," Gaara had a folded apron in his arms as he put it away Naruto glanced over to the table and noticed that the food, was indeed, ready.

"Oh ...yeah ... I didn't notice ... aha ...ha," The whiskered male laughed nervously and walked over to the table before taking a seat. Gaara too walked over and sat opposite him. The blonde looked down at the food which had been prepared for him.

A bowl of white rice and a plate ... of ...uhm strangely shaped omelette with a smaller dish of salad were in front of him. Not bad, it was rare that Naruto ever had a proper breakfast.

"Sorry ..."

"Eh?"

"The omelette ... didn't come out right ...," Gaara looked at his food with a frown. The blond looked at the strangely shaped omelette. Well ... it did look strange, but it was still edible right? There was no way he was going to complain, Gaara had tried his best and that's all that mattered.

Picking up the chopsticks next to him, the tanned male tucked into the omelette. It wasn't bad ... actually it was delicious, even though it was differently shaped.

"It is good!" Naruto praised and continued to eat, the smile growing on his face. Gaara looked at him, doubt lying in his eyes but he copied his husband and tried it too. The blonde wasn't lying, it was kind of good.

"I didn't know you were good at cooking, Gaara. I will love eating your food every day," Naruto spoke between bites.

"It was ... my first time trying," the red head spoke up before putting a small piece of omelette into his mouth.

"Really? It was your first time? Wow, the results are good; you must have a natural cooking talent,"

"Thank you. Sometimes I would watch Temari cook ... and I ... I guess I just tried it," Gaara spoke up as his cheeks flushed a darker shade of pink as Naruto praised him. It was nice.

"Yeah, but still, you must have a great talent for cooking," The blonde happily continued to eat

"Yeah ... maybe ...," Gaara spoke quietly, slightly embarrassed.

They ate in a comfortable silence. Neither noticed it was their first time eating together, at it had gone better than expected.

"Uhm ... Naruto?"

"Yeah?"

"Please eat the vegetables too."

"Oh! Uhm ... okay ..."

lol

"I will, kill you if you make Gaara sad, I promise you that one!"

Naruto gulped as Kankurou threatened him. He secretly wondered why, it was unfriendly and ... well he was now part of his family.

"I won't I promise," Naruto chuckled nervously.

"Kankuro, stop threatening Naruto, or I will forbid you from coming to Konoha," Temari scolded, her eyes ice cold. The puppeteer gulped. Even though he was the Kazekage, he knew he wouldn't win in a debate against Temari; she was true to her word.

Temari turned to her youngest brother, who was happily standing beside his husband.

"Gaara just send a letter if you need something," the blonde female smiled and the red head nodded, before glancing to the blonde who was locked in a glaring contest with his older brother.

"And Naruto, please take care of Gaara," Temari spoke up, breaking the whiskered males attention. His blue eyes looked up at her and he nodded understandingly, ignoring the mean look that he was receiving off Kankuro

"Okay, I hope you two can take care of each other, I'm sure everything will be fine. I will try to visit as much as possible," Temari spoke lovingly towards her youngest brother and he smiled at the affection in her voice.

"We understand Temari-neechan, don't worry," he smiled gently. Temari sighed softly, and attempted to calm herself. She knew that the males could take care of themselves, but ... the pregnancy ... that's what made her worry. Also, there was something strange between Naruto and Gaara. She had noticed they weren't a normal couple ... but ... something was a bit off, but she had no idea what. And to her surprised, her lazy boyfriend had noticed too, but he was too lazy to comment on it.

She hoped everything would go well, she had promised to herself, if Naruto did anything stupid ... again ... she would finish him off with her bare hands.

After all, Gaara was her precious little brother.

"Okay ... I understand. Take care Gaara. See you, otouto-chan," she began walking off with the others. Kankurou waved quickly and Gaara replied with a small and timid wave back. They stayed still until the group disappeared over the horizon.

"Now time to go home," Naruto cheered happily, turning to his new partner. Gaara nodded, slightly down at the fact that his siblings wouldn't accompany him in Konoha anymore, but he shrugged it off.

"And ... don't worry Shikamaru. Temari will be back soon," Naruto turned to his other companion; he was standing further back, his eyes focused on the horizon, not stirring. He blinked once or twice before turning his eyes to the blonde, not responding to the joke. He was used to the blondes teasing about his relationship with the wind kunoichi, but not, his girlfriends little brother was married to him ... so... their normal relationship wouldn't change much.

But ... there was something annoying him. He noticed there was something different between Naruto and Gaara, something off. At first he didn't want to stick his nose in their business but his girlfriend had found out that he had noticed too. So he couldn't help but accept her request. To watch over them.

He sincerely hoped they would be okay; it would be very troublesome if something happened to them.

"See you later, Shikamaru!"

The deer herder was broken from his train of thought when the blonde shouted at him, and waved. He replied by waving back half-heartedly, watching his energetic friend and his husband walk off.

lol

Getting married was bit of a foreign feeling, since it once happened once ... maybe a few times in someone's life. Naruto understood that fact, but he didn't expect it to be this weird. What was he suppose to do after getting married, he had no clue. Well, normally people get married, because they are in love right? Getting married was to be so you could spend the rest of your life with the person you adore and love.

But he didn't marry Gaara through love; he married him because he was carrying his child. So it was natural to be confused, right?

The weirdest thing about the situation was, Gaara didn't look angry about the accident. Well, Naruto knew it was rape. It was horrible and truly disgusting crime. Of course he was fully aware of that, he also knew that Gaara becoming pregnant because of the rape was a bad thing too.

So, why was the red head so laid back about it, why wasn't he angry, or upset?

Gaara wasn't even angry at the fact that he had stolen his virginity, or impregnated him with an unwanted child. Sure, Gaara looked so confused and sad when he had told Naruto the news. But why wasn't he angry. Temari and Kankurou had beaten a lot of sense into him, but Gaara hadn't raised his hand in attempt to hurt him.

This was just ... really weird.

Then again Gaara wasn't a normal person ... and neither was Naruto.

This was just how things were going to be like.

Naruto sighed heavily, thinking a lot wasn't good for his brain. It was useless to fuss over something which had happened in the past. He couldn't do anything to change the facts.

He just hoped ... that he went down the right path in life.

"Knock ... Knock ..."

The quiet knocking on the door startled Naruto who was day dreaming on the couch whilst Gaara was cleaning their small apartment. During the day they both had nothing to do. It was suppose to be the first day of their short honeymoon, and both guys were clueless about this, none of them had ever tasted or felt anything close to real romance. They were both too shy to start anything, and also ... they weren't sure of their feelings towards each other.

"Ah, wait ... wait ...," Naruto scrambled off the couch, almost falling as he did so and jogged over to the door as the knocking got louder.

He opened the door to find two members of his team stood at the door, Sakura and Sai. Both of them were grinning from ear to ear, in their hands were nicely wrapped gifts.

"Ohayou, Naruto."

"Ohayou, Naruto-kun."

"O-Ohayou ...," Naruto replied. The blonde was confused on why his friends were there. Why had they brought so many gifts to his small apartment?

"Well, you don't think we forgot about bringing yours and Gaara-san's wedding gifts, do you?" The pink haired kunoichi asked teasingly. Sai chuckled quietly as Naruto laughed nervously, one of his hands scratching the back of his head.

"We thought we would bring these over to you. I also got you something that maybe useful," Sai winked at Naruto. For some reason the blonde didn't want to know what Sai got him.

"Thanks a lot," Naruto shrugged off the bad feelings towards Sai's gift. He proceeded to remove the gifts from Sakura and Sai. He looked down at his hands. He had never seen so many gifts in his own hands before ... and they were all his ... err ... theirs.

"Okay, it seems we have to go. Sorry for disturbing your "private" time with your husband, Naruto," Sakura giggled slightly. Her laugh increasing in volume when she saw Naruto's face turn deep red.

"N-No we were just...," he turned speechless, losing his train of thought when he noticed neither of his friends was paying attention, and their laughter got louder.

"O-Okay ... Okay, we understand Naruto, see you again sometime, and enjoy your time!" Sakura chuckled before she pulled Sai along with her, disappearing.

Naruto was stunned into silence, before he grunted at Sakura's joke and his reaction. Why couldn't he stay cool and calm like Shikamaru or Neji, damn his simple mind.

The door opened, revealing his husband whom had been standing there for quite some time. "What's wrong Naruto, I heard Sakura-san's voice, is he here?" Gaara asked. Looking rather confused because the blonde was alone.

"No they left. Oh ... and these are our wedding gifts," Naruto turned to Gaara with a nervous smile. The red head looked at all the gifts. There were a lot of presents there, but he had received more before. Usually his room was packed full of presents from all his fan girls. Most of the time on valentine's days or his birthday.

"Let me help you," Gaara relieved Naruto of some of the presents, and without a word, they both walked back into their apartment and placed all the presents in the small living room.

"Wow ... I didn't expect to receive so many gifts ...," Naruto was rather amazed.

"Yeah ... and our wedding was so sudden, also," Gaara added, looking slightly excited. He didn't like all the gifts he got from his fans; they all tried expressing their love to the young red head. But surely wedding gifts were different.

"Do you want to open them now?" Naruto asked, feeling quite refreshed. Gaara nodded, all of the chores were complete so he had nothing else to do.

Naruto sat on the floor, beside the mound of presents, the redhead followed, his eyes fixated on the presents.

The blonde grabbed one of them, and opened is roughly, scattering paper across the room. Gaara sighed whilst watching his husband. Well ... it seems like he will have to do more cleaning later.

When the box was opened, Naruto reached in and pulled out a pair of mugs. One was sunshine yellow and the other was fiery red, both had a band of orange around the bottom. They were both matching. The couple smiled.

"These are from Sakura-chan," Naruto placed the mugs on the floor and Gaara nodded, noting to himself that they would have to use the mugs whenever possible.

"Next one is ...," The whiskered male paused, seeming to have a bit of trouble with the second present. After finally being able to open it, he pulled out some clothes. The redhead was slightly puzzled until his husband spread the clothes out. They were pyjamas, with the same pattern on them ... but with different colours. One was yellow and again the other was red.

"They know which colours suit us don't they?" Naruto was slightly disappointed his weren't orange. Gaara chuckled lightly upon hearing the blondes comment.

"They are really nice though, who gave these to us?" Gaara looked at the pyjamas, which were evenly spread across the floor.

"Uhm ... it's from Iruka-sensei," Naruto read from a little card, which was attached to the box.

"After its been washed, we'll wear them okay," Gaara looked excited. The blonde nodded, slightly puzzled on why the clothes had to be washed, but he didn't ask.

"...next one ..."

"Can I open it?" Gaara quietly spoke up and the blonde paused and grinned.

"Sure, have fun!"

Gaara carefully opened the present, Naruto wondering silently what was inside. The redhead pulled out several glass bottled. Each held a different coloured liquid. It took a little bit of time before the object registered with Naruto. His azure eyes widened and he grabbed the box and the bottles from Gaara's hand, in the blink of an eye.

The redhead was stunned, why did Naruto look so ... disturbed?

"Naruto, what was that," he asked, still rather clueless.

The blonde checked over the bottles, cheeks heating up and his whole face turned crimson.

"Uhm, Naruto, is something wrong?" Gaara asked, worry lacing his voice.

Naruto inwardly cursed. He didn't know how he was going to explain this to Gaara, well ... sooner or later he would know ...so ... ah...

"It ...it ... is lube," Naruto turned a darker shade of red in embarrassment.

"Lube?" the redhead tilted his head to the side.

Naruto slapped himself, of course Gaara wouldn't know. Oh my, he would hurt the damn person who had bought the gift. Out of everything they could have picked, WHY LUBE!

"It's... For sex... It makes it better," The blonde explained, his face still flushed.

"Sex?" Gaara's face turned the same colour as his husbands. He still didn't know the function of lube, but maybe he would later ... yeah later...

"Who bought it?" Naruto tried concealing the anger he held towards the person who gave the gift.

"Uhm ... wait ... It was Sai," Gaara read the small card.

"SAI! DAMN HIM!" Naruto yelled and stood up quickly, looking up at the ceiling.

"Why? What's wrong?" Gaara asked, he knew the present was embarrassing but it was useful, so he would thank Sai later.

"Oh ... no ... nothing," Naruto lied and sat down.

The redhead wondered about Naruto's earlier reaction but decided not to ask about it.

"Let me open the next one please," the blonde asked, praying that the next gift would be normal. Gaara nodded and watched his husband open the present.

A sigh of relief passed through the whiskered males lips when he saw a pile of books inside the box. Gaara took one and read the title, "how to raise a hyperactive child"

"The books are about being a parent ... and pregnancy," Naruto spoke up after reading all the titles. Gaara nodded and opened one of the books, these would be very useful and he was definitely going to read them all.

"It's from ... Rock lee. Ah bushy brows," Naruto laughed and the red head just nodded, his eyes still skimming over the pages, he would remember to thank him later.

The two worked into a routine, Naruto opening the presents one by one as Gaara read through the books, his interest in the presents all but disappearing. He only gazed up for a second to check over the growing pile of unwrapped gifts. They received another pair of mugs, bedcovers, a digital clock, a vase and a few other things.

"Next one..." the blonde paused for a second before he tried to open the present. It was rather hugs, and when he opened the box, he face turned red, worst than before. He almost screamed, it was so ... oh my ... he took back his words. Sai's gift looked so innocent compared to this one. It was just ... UNFORGIVABLE!

"Naruto what's wrong" Gaara asked, concern lighting up his face after he looked at his husbands expression.

"Oh no, just ahahaha," the whiskered male laughed nervously and closed the box before pushing it away, not wanting Gaara to see it.

"What is it?"

Okay, he failed...

"Oh it's ... nothing important," Naruto lied badly as the redhead glanced over to the suspicious box.

"Let me see it then," Gaara put his books down neatly and tried to get to the box.

"No! You can't!" The blonde panicked and moved the box further away so Gaara couldn't touch it. The redhead looked rather upset, Naruto was acting so odd, he wanted to know desperately.

"Why? I want to see it!" he said before approaching his husband.

"No you can't! It WILL corrupt you," Naruto refused to hand over the box and he moved the box further away as Gaara tried taking it from his hands.

"Corrupt? What is in that box?" He pushed Naruto slightly.

"YOU CAN'T!" Naruto raised his voice. The redhead stood there, his eyes cold and sharp, his expression showed the definition of anger. Just like the day they met. The blonde was stunned into silence because of the sudden change and Gaara took this as an opportunity to grab the box, so he did.

"AAAAHHH!" the whiskered male screamed as he watched Gaara grab the box from his hands.

The red head moved quickly to the side, and opened the box. He was really confused. What was the present suppose to be. Something foreign was in front of him. There were other things in the box, like ... there was red ribbon, and ... black handcuffs ... some more lube... and ... something else. He had never seen one before. What kind of present was it? What did you use them for? Gaara didn't know, but if it made Naruto panic so much, then it must be important.

"Ah, Gaara ...don't," Naruto removed the box from his pale hands.

"What was that? Do we need those?" the redhead asked innocently, tilting his head slightly.

Naruto cursed inwardly again. He knew it was off someone who knew Naruto was a true pervert. He couldn't lie, he liked the present, but it was hard to imagine using these things on his husband.

"Ah, I will explain ... later, but not now," his face was serious, but heavily tinted red.

Gaara tilted his head further; he still didn't get the meaning behind the present. It must have something to with them as a couple ...but why handcuffs? And why was there lube...

Ah... was it all for sex?

Gaara turned pink again and he thought through it. But no matter how much he thought through it he couldn't work out what the handcuffs were for, or the other items.

He would find out later. Temari said the person who would teach him these would be his lover. He was slightly upset that most of the time; he didn't understand the dirty jokes, or things like that.

"Okay then, but you have to tell me okay?" Naruto nodded and coughed nervously before moving the box over to the side.

Man... How come the day was so long...?

There was a small knock at the door. Interrupting Naruto's session of opening gifts, making him sigh in relief. At least it would break up the tension between the couple. He didn't have enough time to check who had given them the damn present. But ah well, he would find out later.

"I'll get the door, go ahead and unwrap that one please," Naruto stood up and walked over to the door.

Opening it slowly, he began to wonder who it was, and he was quite surprised to see Sai standing there, his face paler than usual and his features serious.

"Wha ... Sai ... what's wrong?" Naruto asked, getting very worried. Sai wasn't normally like this. He couldn't remember the last time Said ever paled that much.

"Uh ... I have bad news," Sai was nervous, what was going on?

"What it is? How bad?" The blonde was becoming increasingly worried.

"Ino-san ...I-Ino-san has ..."

"Ha? Ino? What's wrong with her? I thought she was on a mission with Chouji?" Naruto recalled how the pair weren't at his wedding.

"Ino-san has been raped, Naruto-kun!" Sai snapped and the blonde was shocked, everything hitting him at once.

"Raped ..." he mouthed the word over and over, his mind completely blank. Ino ... Ino had been raped? Raped? Raped? That was ... Gaara. He was the rapist? Ino was? What? Rape? Rapist?

"Naruto-kun, are you okay?" Sai wondered why the usually loud hyperactive blonde was so quiet. His normally tan face paling just like his teammates.

Naruto's attention snapped back to the real world, that one word, that one stupid damned word brought back déjà vu. That wasn't important right now though. Ino. His friend. Had been raped.

"I'll go see Ino, but ... I need to tell Gaara," he turned swiftly and ran back into his apartment, his heart beating rapidly inside of his chest.

Gaara was sat in the exact same place he was last time, opening the gifts one by one. The red head noticed his husband was back and slowly looked up at him. Confusion spread across his face, Naruto looked a lot paler, and he was sweating.

"Naruto, what's wrong?"

The blonde walked into his bedroom and grabbed his famous orange and black jacket. Passing Gaara once more he tried to smile, wondering how the hell he was going to explain to a victim of rape, done by him, than one of his friends has just been raped.

"Uh ... I heard Ino had an accident on some mission, I'm going to see if she is okay," Naruto half lied, hoping Gaara wouldn't ask questions. The redhead wondered for a while before nodding.

"Okay, be careful," he smiled gently as the blonde nodded and left.

He felt something bad was going to happen. This rape ... it wasn't going to be good at all.

I know there is some readers who have some kind of "problem" with my fanfic...well...I don't know what should I say it. I mean...this is how I write, I don't know how to write with the other style. And also about my point view about Gaara's pregnancy...well...it is true that my religion influences my thinking but hey, it can be separated from my head since I have been living with faith since I'm born. But well...I'm sorry for the readers who finc some "problems" with my story. I feel bad...if I can I want to change but...uh...I don't know how. You don't know how my feeling is when I read the "problem" reviews...but yeah...still, I will try my best...

Start from this point, the plot with twist a little. There will be some actions and tragedies, it will be longer and longer again but well...just enjoy it. I will try to finish it until the end
