Chapter 2: Angel

Kankuro came back an hour latter with an Hourglass about the size of his chest. It was small, but the glass was large enough on both sides to count off 5 hours. “This was the largest one that I could find. What do you need it for?” Kankuro handed it to Gaara.

“Nothing important.” He said, climbing down from the tree and walking away.

When Kankuro realized that he would most likely be gone for a while he asked “Where are you going?” Gaara kept walking through the forest, “Nowhere.” He replied, looking over the hourglass with a concentrated look.

The sand poured to the top of the glass in a rush of speed, his vision blurred and distorted like it had all of the times before. When it cleared again, it was the early morning, it was still dark and the sun hadn’t risen yet. Only around 4 am.

This was an amazing power, He could go back and forward in time as he pleased. He could correct any mistake, stop anything from happening, even relive any moment he wanted. The only catch was that he would be in that particular spot when he went back and forth in time. That meant he would have to go to a certain spot to relive it. Minor setback, he could just go back even farther.

Now that thought about it, this power was useless to him besides in battle. He didn’t want to relive any moment in his life, the last thing he wanted to do was anything in his life twice. In fact, even if he did go back in the past in change some part of his life, it wouldn’t change him. It would change the world around him, but he would still remain the same. It wouldn’t change what he had learned before, or how he felt before, or what he was feeling now.

‘Why am I even bothering with this?’ Gaara thought as he sprang threw the dark trees, his mind was focused on thought instead of where he was going. But he moved trough with out any problem, not missing a step in his directions as if his body was moving by itself.
Sure it would save time, but other then that he didn’t really need it. He wasn’t the type of person to.

He stopped thinking and continued to through the forest, moving faster then before. He had just confirmed every reason that he shouldn’t think about things. Bad things always seemed to end up being worse when he though about them. But what else did he have to do? It wasn’t exactly a short walk to the Village of the Leaf, he was glad they hadn’t gone all the way back to the Village of the Sand. If they weren’t halfway it would have been a hell of a lot longer.

If he kept up his pace, he would be there in a few hours, which would mean a few seconds for him in real time.

After a few minutes of mindless running, his mind started to think again on it’s own. He couldn’t stop it, so he just give in. He tried to think of something other then what he had been thinking of since yesterday. Maybe he could do something that didn’t result in pain on himself and/or others.

Music maybe. There isn’t a person that doesn’t like some type of music. All he had to do was find that type. Or better yet he could learn how to play an instrument, something like that was time consuming and took practice and hard work. It would take years to master. It was perfect. And if he mastered one instrument, he could start learning another. He could even learn to sing…

The thought of that was laughable, in fact it almost made him laugh. The thought of himself singing was hilarious…..Well, apparently thinking had it’s upsides, who would have thought.

Music…that seemed realistic, he would have to try it one day. But first he would have to find something he liked first. That would involve him actually listening to it first, he never actual listened to any music in his life. Sure he had the chance, but he didn’t bother with something as trivial as that.

! - ! - !


It was around 9 when he got to the Village of Leaf. Few people were out, he managed to avoid many of them. He didn’t want to deal with it, he didn’t want anyone to recognize him. The cold, hateful looks, the fear. It was just like back at home, if he could call it home it that, a place like that couldn’t be call as such. He couldn’t deal with this today, it would just be easier if he stayed away…..

“You can’t be serous.”

Gaara herd a familiar voice behind him, he sighed in turned around and found nothing. Then he looked up and found Kakashi sitting on a roof with a book in his hand. ‘Damnit’ He really was trying to avoid everyone, he was near the top of the list, right under Sasuke.
Gaara watched him waiting for what he was going to say.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m not here to start anything.”

“I knew that, you probably wouldn’t be carrying that if you were.” Kakashi said, looking back down at the book. “So what do you want?”

“………” He contemplated going back in time and avoiding this, but odds were that he would run in to him sometime while he was here, he might as well have dealt with it now.
Kakashi looked at him questioningly, apparently he was still expecting an answer. “I’m looking for some one.” he said finally.

“You didn’t pick a good time, look around.”

Gaara took a look around the city for the first time, it wasn’t in good shape after the resent attacks. People were still rebuilding, the town was stretched thinly. Mostly everyone was out on missions, it was only a matter of time before Kakashi was sent on one. There was no guarantee that Naruto was still here.

“………”

“Alright then, you better hurry.”

“Your letting me go?”
“Yeah, but be warned…If you try anything I’ll kill you.”

Gaara expected it, he shrugged it off and kept going.

! - ! - !

Naruto opened his eyes, slowly sitting up with a small yawn and a stretch. He was wearing a white shirt and white pants along with a black hat, his usual bed clothing. Naruto turned toward the window sleepily, squinting from the sunlight. He tossed the black hat aside, scratching his head a little. Starting to contemplate the thought of going back to sleep, but by the time he decided to do so he was already out of bed, walking toward the refrigerator.

Before he could find his usual cup ramen, a knock came at the door. He groaned, ramen or door? If it was important they could wait, but if it was important so could the ramen. Naruto closed the refrigerator, shaking off any sleepiness on the way. He almost jumped out of his clothing when he saw Gaara on the other side.

“Wha-What the hell are you doing here!” He shouted, his surprise quickly converting to anger. “I need to talk to you.” Gaara said as non-threateningly as possible. Naruto didn’t know if he should attack or wait, attack was starting to weigh more on the scale. “What hell could you possibly have to say to me?! You tried to kill me!” Naruto yelled, his mind started to replay the day before instinctively.

His body un tensed when he remembered the end of the battle. He studied Gaara’s face carefully, coming upon those same lonely eyes as before. It was more intense then before, though his facial expression didn’t show it. It was actually hard to watch, He looked like he was about to crack if he already hadn’t.

Naruto sighed, looking over him alertly. He didn’t have that urn with him that he usually carried, that could be a good sign. “Alright.” Naruto said, letting him in but still watching him closely just incase he tried to do anything. A large part of his mind doubted that he would, Gaara didn’t seem like the type of person to stab you in the back. He would do it in you face, you would know when he was trying to kill you.

And he wasn’t

Naruto took the seat at the opposite side of Gaara though he didn’t sit down. “Why did you attack the Leaf?” Naruto asked, the anger was back in his voice. Gaara looked back at him, a hidden remorse “I was ordered to.” He sounded sorry, but that didn’t mean much. Naruto looked out of the window at the village surrounding it.

He was silent for a moment, thinking on Gaara had just said. Everything depended on perspective, what looked bad from Naruto’s may have not seemed that way from Gaara.
“An order! You can’t just go killing all of these innocent people off of an order!” Naruto shouted.

Gaara raised an eye brow, he knew that given the situation, Naruto probably would have done the same. “Really? So if you were ordered to help assassinate the head of the Sand. You wouldn’t do it.” Naruto was about to answer but Gaara cut him of “Keep in mind what just happened to the Leaf.”

Naruto folded his arms, he had to stop and think for a moment. All of the people hurt and killed in this attack, and it also set the stage for the death of the Hokage. If everyone wasn’t dealing with the sand, they could have helped, maybe saved his life. Gaara was right, he would have.

“Alright, what do you want to talk about?” Naruto’s voice held less anger, it was almost gone now. “It’s about what you said during the fight….”


“…That’s why it kills me to think about how it used to be… That pain is not usual, it’s pitch black hell. If…If I were still alone……For this reason I can sympathize….”

Naruto sat down, leaning back in the chair watching Gaara’s face closely. It was those eyes almost like looking in to a mirror of how he used to be. He knew the pain Gaara was going through, only it was worse now, much worse then it ever was for him. Naruto only closed his eyes and folded his arms again. “It’s hard huh?”

Gaara looked at him, giving no answer but it was clearly understood. “I understand what’s like.” Naruto said, his eyes looking down at the table. He really couldn’t blame Gaara for seeking him out, he was desperate if he knew it or not. Why else would he come back to a placed that hated him….which doesn’t say much because every place hated him, feared him, wanted nothing to do with him. Like this place and Naruto.

“I can’t take it anymore.” Gaara said softly, almost to himself. Naruto looked up at him. “Huh?” “I don’t want to kill anymore, but my life has use now. It’s meaningless. Why do I still exist?” Gaara was the one looking down now, his fist were clinched tightly now.
“Gaara….”

“My reason to live was….I guess the only think that kept me from all of this….Now that my existence is meaningless, and I’m completely alone…”

“Your not completely alone.” Naruto said, he rubbed his head, a large grin forming. “I know what it’s like, so you got me at lest.”

Gaara looked up him, suddenly very confused, “You….but you can’t, you don’t like me enough.” Gaara said in an even tone. Naruto shook his head, “Was never mad at you, I knew why you acted they way you did…I mean you were just like me…..you were looking for someone…so you wouldn’t be alone…” Naruto wasn’t use to saying anything like this, but it was going to a good cause so he adjusted.

Gaara sighed, mixed with anguish and a slight bit of happiness. “Naruto.”

Naruto didn‘t want anyone to go through that dark hell of loneness and despair, “Seriously, I can’t stand to see even you like this….” Gaara wasn’t used to anyone being this worried about him, it was even coming from Naruto. He didn’t care if it was fake, he needed it at this point, how desperate he was even surprised him.

“What could I possibly do to make you feel better?”

“Wha?”

“You herd me.”

“…..Thank you.”

“For what?”

“You’ve already done enough for me.” Gaara smiled for the first time…a real smile.

“Ha! Thought that would do it.”

“What?”

“ I just said whatever I would want to hear. I had to get to you somehow, I couldn’t stand to see you like that. Seriously.”

Gaara just looked at him and laughed, he couldn’t help himself. Naruto looked at him, his surprised look changed in a confused one , it didn’t seem possible before but it was happening. Naruto smiled, rubbing his head again, feeling a certain sense of pride right now. He actually was actually enjoying being with Gaara.

A comfortable silence fell over them, Gaara wouldn’t have traded this moment for anything. He felt relaxed, un-tense for the first time. His mental guard was slowly lowering, something he was starting to wish had stayed up. Naruto sighed and watched him, seeing the whole process happening in front of his eyes. He knew what was going to happen, he had almost went through the same thing.

Everything Gaara had ever repressed and ignored, pushed away, all of it came rushing back like a flood. All of the emotions, memories, pain he should have felt at times and didn’t, he couldn’t hold it back any longer. Gaara silently shook his head and closed his eyes. His fist clinched tighter and tighter until his hand began to tremble. His fingernails dug in to his palm almost hard enough to draw blood.

His eyes shut tighter and tighter but they suddenly shot open. The tension drain from his body and his fist loosen when he felt Naruto’s hand on his shoulder. He looked back at the boy, not realizing how he looked right now. “It’s alright, I know how it feels.” Naruto said softly, a small sympathetic smile and warm eyes looking down on Gaara. Naruto knew what he was going through very well, next came anger, which in Gaara’s case may become…dangerous.

Gaara clinched his eyes again, slamming his fist on the table, breaking it in half. Naruto didn’t mind….right now, he‘d probably be pissed about it later….he kept that smile and warm look on Gaara, which is what he needed most. “Who are you to fuck with me like this Damnit!” Gaara yelled. “Every word I said to you I meant.” Naruto said in a warm tone, still unchanging and supporting With a still confident undertone that almost sounded arrogant. He couldn’t be mad with Gaara if he tried, Gaara had every right to be angry, to think what he thought.

“Your lying!” Gaara shouted, he couldn’t believe that someone would be this kind, this friendly with him. Everyone in the past had hated him, feared him, sought out ways to kill him. Even his Aunt, the only person he ever cared for wanted to do nothing but kill him, make his life miserable. How could Naruto understand? Someone who had just tried to kill him also?

“You know I’m not, we’re too alike for me to lie about something like this--”

“Shut up!” Gaara was standing over him in second.

“--we both wanted the same thing.”

“Shut up!” Gaara grabbed him by his shirt, lifting him off the ground. Naruto’s expression didn’t change though, he knew Gaara didn’t want to hurt him, and wouldn’t.

“That’s why you came back here to talk to me.”

“Damnit….” Gaara dropped Naruto, who landed on his feet. Some how Gaara lost his balance and fell to his knees, pounding his fist in to the ground.

Naruto placed a comforting hand on his back, feeling another sense of accomplishment. Mainly because Gaara hadn’t tried to kill him yet.

Gaara looked up at Naruto, his eyes full of sadness, anguish. Naruto looked back at him questioningly. Gaara only grabbed on to his shirt again, pulling him in to kiss, slipping his tongue in to Naruto’s open mouth. Feeling Naruto kiss him back, still looking in to Naruto’s eyes.

“I never felt like this about anyone…I don’t know what this is but I know I can’t go on with out you with me.” Gaara confessed, slowly looking up from the ground up to Naruto. Who blinked a few times in confusion before grinning wildly. Gaara’s eyes narrowed as his expression changed from one of question to one of angry annoyment. He couldn’t believe this!

“You don’t want to be with me, you just think that now. You’ll get over it, Trust me.” Naruto said leaving Gaara and heading to the refrigerator to once again search for his Cup Raman. It wasn’t a no, and he had kissed back, very confusing. “What? No, I’m serous! You don’t know how I feel, I need you.” Gaara said.

Naruto found what he was looking for , an pouring some hot water in to the cup and closing the seal. “Come on, you regret it a week later, I went through this already.” Naruto told him, waiting impatiently for the raman to cook. Gaara was next to him now, he pushed him against the wall, kissing Naruto fiercely, the other boy kissed back, wrapping his arms around Gaara.

He felt like everything they were doing felt right, like everything he was doing pulled him deeper into Naruto. He would give anything to stay in this moment, right now Naruto meant the world to him. He was all he had, this was the first time he ever had anyone, or anything that felt so good, and he wasn’t about to let it go so easily.

Gaara pulled back only when he needed air, looking down at Naruto pressed against the wall, holding his chest, panting slightly. Naruto had shown him a new part of himself, showing him things he didn’t know about himself, or about anyone else. He knew he couldn’t let this go.

“Aw Damnit!” Naruto said, pulling Gaara back down “You better not regret this!” He shouted before kissing him again. Naruto thought if they moved to fast, it would all end, even though he was never one to be cautious in anything. He wasn’t good at doing it either, so he gave up and gave in. Gaara had never felt anything that felt so good, very few things ever did. He never felt anything that could compare to this physically and Naruto was the cause. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy every second of it.

Gaara almost laughed out loud at the thought of him regretting this.

Naruto pulled himself off the wall, taking Gaara with him and blindly moving some place where they could eliminate the height difference. They fell back on to the bed, Gaara landing under Naruto. When he looked up he found Naruto looking down at him with a large grin, seemingly larger then any other he had seen before.

He hastily lifted Gaara’s shirt off, leaning be back down in to another kiss, unbuttoning his own shirt as he did so. Gaara’s pants begin to grow tighter as his erection grew, But the tension was relieved as Naruto pulled them off Revealing a long, hard cock that pressed against Naruto’s stomach.

Naruto gave a quick smirk before he took Gaara’s length in his mouth, getting an small gasp from him. Gaara ran his hand through Naruto’s hair, gripping the yellow strands tightly. His mouth fell open and a small moan escaped as Naruto ran his tongue over Gaara’s erection. Moving slowly and tauntingly.


Naruto finally gave up the teasing after a minute, holding on to Gaara’s waist and pulling his whole length in to his mouth. Sucking it lightly, letting his tongue lick along the sides of Gaara’s cock. The grip on his head became loser as Gaara pushed Naruto back, finding himself struggling to catch his breath.

Before Naruto could ask anything, Gaara lifted him by his sides. Moving so that Naruto was laying face down on the bed and he was on top of him. Another grin came on to Naruto’s face, he had no objections whatsoever. The grin was replaced by a small hiss of pain when Gaara pushed his cock in to the small entrance. He wasn’t exactly an expert in this and going on instinct but he figured that he should move slowly.

Naruto shifted some, feeling the small bit of pain shift in to pleasure. “Ah…Gaara.”

Gaara buried his face in to Naruto’s neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses behind. Naruto pressed his hands against the bed, driving his body back against Gaara’s thrust and forcing the cock deeper into him. Gaara began to move faster, driving harder in to Naruto.

The tight body became even tighter, Naruto’s grip became tighter and a small moan escaped from his open mouth. “Gaara!” Naruto came, spilling the liquid on to the bed, each time Gaara drove the cock inside of him, it forced another moan and more of his seed out of him.

Naruto lay docile under Gaara, “Harder.” He managed to say in-between deep breaths. Gaara happily obeyed, clinching Naruto’s waist and driving in harder. Pressing his body against Naruto’s and pressing his lips to his in an awkward kiss. Feeling Naruto’s tight body pull him in to his limit, his moaned in to the kiss, his whole body spasmed as he came.

After a moment of catching his breath, Gaara rolled off of Naruto, laying to his side. He looked over to the smaller boy who had another grin across his face. “Naruto?” Gaara said, looking in to his eyes. “Huh?” He thought about it for a moment, then turned his gaze up to the ceiling. “Nothing, I’ll tell you later.” A small smirk grew across his face that made Naruto wonder.

“What is it?” Naruto asked, crawling over to him and looking closely at his face. “Later.” Gaara said almost teasingly. “Come on!” Naruto begged. “…….” Gaara only turned over and closed his eyes. “Your enjoying this aren’t you, well I can wait.” Naruto laid the back his head against Gaara’s back, giving up and going back to sleep. Which was what he wanted in the first place.

‘Oh Damn, I forgot about the Raman….’
