Yo!
okay, I know this chapter is way too short, and it probably sucks, but I'm trying okay? Please review! I'm in need of new ideas for this story! Please!
All I heard was a shout of, "GAARA!" Before I was tackled by an upset black clad blonde.
I hugged Naruto back, if my tight grip was hurting him he didn't say anything.
I knew he had been wanting to do that ever since he entered the tower, but he couldn't as the speech from the Hokage had started nearly immediately, and the announcement of the preliminaries followed.
As soon as we were told we could move to the balconies Naruto was on me.
I knew we'd be in trouble if we didn't move, so I simply lifted him up, bridal style, carrying him to the balcony, as I knew Naruto had no intention of letting go soon.
I felt the same way, I had been terrified the entire second test. What if he didn't make it out alive?
I pushed the thoughts away, Naruto was here, alive, the proof was beating rapidly against my chest.
I knew we were receiving many strange looks, the other genin, sans Naruto's teammates, and my siblings, were giving us looks that said quite plainly, 'What the hell".
The Jounin Senseis where all of different reactions, Naruto's sensei, Kakashi, looked bored, but Gaara could see the gratitude in the man's lone visible eye.
A woman with long black hair and red eyes looked concerned as she glanced at a small girl standing next to her, the girl's back was turned, hiding her reaction from him.
A man smoking a cigarette was looking at them with interest, it made Gaara a little uncomfortable.
Baki, his Sensei was unaffected, already aware of the relationship.
The Hokages reaction concerned him most however as the man was staring at them with a piercing gaze of distrust and concern.
Gaara turned his attention back to the blond in his lap to see he to had been studying the reactions as well.
"Well, i knew we would have to face the music sometime." He said looking a bit hesitant, however he kept his arms wrapped tightly around Gaara.
Gaara smiled, Naruto accepted him, he accepted Gaara, and they wouldn't let anyone come between them.
Gaara lent down and placed a kiss on Naruto's head of silky blonde hair.
Her heard the gasps, but he didn't bother to even look as he held Naruto tightly in his arms.
The matches passed, Sasuke and Yaroi, Tenten and Temari, Shikamaru and Kin.
Then.
"Naruto Uzumaki vs Kiba Inuzuka!"
Gaara tightened his hold for a moment before letting his arms fall to his side as he gazed into Naruto's eyes, the message in his own clear.
'Be careful.'
Naruto smiled as he stood on tiptoe, and pulled Gaara down slightly to place a kiss, right on his love kanji before silently replying, his expressive blue eyes telling him, 'don't worry, I'll win. Believe it.'
They smiled at each other one last time before Naruto turned and jumped down the balcony, landing right in front of Kiba who was ranting about how it would be a piece of cake to beat the dobe and how lucky he and Akamaru were that they would get an easy win.
Naruto scoffed before taking a glance back at Gaara, seeing his encouraging and affectionate smile, Naruto knew then, that he didn't have to hide anymore, and that he wouldn't.
Turning back to Kiba, Naruto smiled and waited for the proctor to start the match.
He knew now, without doubt that he would win today.

I will be updating ASAP, I just figured I needed to give you guys at least something after such a long absence.
Please review! I'm taking suggestions for the direction this story should take!
