Yo!

Okay, so I was wondering, should Kyuubi be good or bad, I am leaning towards good, but I do want opinions, so please let me know in your review what you think.

If you have any Ideas I am willing to listen, just leave a review or message me, I am open to suggestions.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way, shape, or form.

Gaara P.O.V

I stared out the corner of my eye as we walked.

This time I truly studied him. I noticed the peculiar whisker like scars on his cheeks and couldn't help but think it made him seem almost, exotic.

He lead us to a shady clearing, releasing the hold he had had one me for the entire walk and sitting down, leaning against the trunk of a tree.

He smiled up at me and patted the ground next to him.

"C'mon, sit down with me."

After a moment of hesitation, I let the gourd off my back and set it down, sitting next to it.

Naruto once again put his arm around me. I don't know why I did it, but I leaned into him.

He seemed shocked for a moment, but his smile was back in an instant.

"So, you're from Suna, huh? What's it like there?"

I stared ahead for a moment, thinking. What was I supposed to say? I felt a mental nudge from mother, and decided on the truth.

"It is hell."

Surprisingly enough, Naruto didn't seem the least bit shocked.

"I wasn't going to ask this for a while, but I'm curious, which one do you hold?"

I stared at Naruto for a moment, he chuckled.

"I hold the nine, the fox sure is a bitch sometimes, but I get the feeling mine is better behaved than yours." He ended in another chuckle.

I stared at him a moment longer, before what he was saying suddenly made sense.

Naruto, he was also a Jinchuuriki. The Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no kitsune, if the fox comment was any hint.

Gaara was hit with another understanding. That's why Naruto was so nice to him, why he didn't seem surprised on why I said my village was hell. He was like me, though judging on how he is currently acting, he took everything much better. He doesn't seem anything like the killer I am.

Why not?

"One, and the raccoon can be quite sneaky sometimes, how do you handle it?" I asked, unable not to.

He looked at me again, "What do you mean?" he asked, looking slightly confused.

"Do you kill as well? That's what I do, when I kill, I feel alive, what do you do?"

Naruto looked at me, shock covering his face before it was painted over with understanding and, was that... pity?

"Gaara, I don't have to kill, to feel alive, all I have to do is think of my precious ones."

I blinked, "Precious ones?" The words seemed foreign on my tongue.

Naruto laughed lightly, the sound was lovely.

"Yeah, for me, my precious ones are the people I care about,the people I would do anything, even sacrifice my life for. I don't have many, but I have enough, I have Iruka, my academy sensei, he was the first one besides Hokage Jiji to be nice to me and believe in me, then I have my teammates and my current sensei, Sakura chan, Sasuke teme and Kakashi Sensei. They are my precious people, because they saved me from the hell of being alone, for that, they are the most important people to me."

Naruto looked back at me from where his gaze had shifted to the sky.

"And, if you let me, I can be your first precious one, will you let me save you from your hell?"

Naruto looked at me, eyes pleading, and I almost couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth.

"You won't have to kill anymore, you can feel alive, with me, please." He continued, almost babbling.

I searched his eyes, I found dark understanding, a dark past, and... pure innocence.

How was he able to connect with me this way? Me, a cold blooded killer, who hated his own siblings because of their blind fear of him.

He had so much kindness, and love around him, maybe, yeah, I guess, I can try with him.

I turned to him again, and for the first time in a long time, I spoke straight from my shielded heart, I could almost feel the chains and locks I had put around it falling off as I spoke.

"Naruto, I-I guess you can sort of tell I have not trusted someone like you in, well quite a while. When I was younger, my maternal uncle and caretaker, Yashamaru, had been the only one to ever come near me, and take care of me. I was considered by everyone else to be nothing but a weapon for the village, I was a monster, I didn't deserve love and kindness. The village children ran from me in fear every time I even came close to them, I would lash out and accidentally hurt them sometimes, when I would try to make it up to them, taking them ointments and apologizing for what I had done, they would only insult and yell at me in fear. Then, when I was 6 Yashamaru was ordered to assassinate me, by my father, the Kazekage. He was given the option to refuse, but he didn't. He revealed to me that he had never really cared, and that I was named Gaara, after the phrase of a self loving carnage. My mother named me that, as the last revenge she could extract before she died right after my birth, she had never wanted to have me, she had really despised having been made to carry me to full term. Yashamaru told me I could never be loved, that no one would ever love a monster, before he asked me to die and blew himself up in an effort to catch me off guard. I became cold, my father ordered me to be assassinated many times, but my sand would always protect me, I soon started to take pleasure in the killing of my assassinators. It made me feel alive, powerful, but most of all, it made one happy, and that made me happy. If there is an alternative, something I could do to feel alive, and not be feared, I think, I think I would be willing to try."

I watched as tears streamed down Naruto's cheeks, he looked a bit, heartbroken. I hadn't meant to hurt him!

Naruto must have seen something in my eyes because he reached forward with his hand, cupping my cheek.

I couldn't help it, his hand was so warm and loving, I leaned into the touch.

"Gaara," his voice was gruff with tears. "I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, while my life wasn't all that better, it wasn't as bad as that. I promise from now on, you won't be alone, because now, you are one of my most precious people, and I never let them down." With that Naruto leaned forward slowly, cautiously and kissed my forehead, directly on my love kanji tattoo.

I was crying for the first time since that night, but I didn't even notice as I followed my instinct, I leaned forward and placed my lips on Naruto's.

I felt him stiffen and I was about to pull away, when he grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me back.

It was my first kiss. It was short, and sweet... and tasted a bit like miso ramen.

The end.

Okay, so I know it was fast and their relationship should not have progressed so fast, but it won't

continue at this rate, the most they will continue to do is cuddle, hold hands and kiss. No make out sessions and grinding scenes. At least for a couple more chapters, ;)

Anywho, this chapter was very angsty, and I hope you guys don't mind that much, but I had to have a chapter where the feelings and stuff are revealed, and I know some may not like how mature Naruto is acting, but like I said in the last chapter, Naruto is treating Gaara how he would have wanted to be treated at a time like that.

More of the immature Naruto who is rather tactless will be shown in maybe next chapter, or the one after that.

Now, about how fast Gaara is warming up to Naruto, in my story, yes Gaara was a cold blooded killer, but underneath it, he just wanted love and acceptance and truthfully, with my Gaara, if anyone other than Naruto were to approach him like this, he would have probably killed them by now, the main reason he hasn't, is because he now knows Naruto is also a Jinchuuriki, he feels he can trust him not to betray him as Yashamaru had. Because he understands the hurt.

If anyone has any suggestions I am open ears, or windows!

I am not sure if many will understand that joke, but whatever.

PLEASE! REVIEW! I live for reviews!
