The Only One

Thanks again for reviews. Poor Gaara I felt bad for the whole Itachi thing. But poor little redhead’s hell is just starting. Some chapter is going to be good with a cliff hanger.

ENJOY!

Chapter 4

On Top Of The Night

Neji was the first one to wake up that night, finding Kankurou staring at him. Neji was kind of scared because he knew what happen to people that fucked with Gaara.

“Hi Kankurou. I was just- Neji was cut off by Kankurou.

“It’s okay. I know you are going out with my brother.” He laughed a bit. “Did you think I was going to rip off your head or something?” Kankurou smiled when he saw Neji about to freak out.

“Well I...um...I was just making sure Gaara would be okay by himself and then me and him got together.” Neji looked at Kankurou hoping he would go away. And he did. Neji felt better about that. He looked at Gaara who was still sound asleep. He thought it was the cutest thing he ever saw.

After Kankurou left the room. He went down stairs to talk to Temari. When he got down there she was making something to eat for her and the boys.

“Neji’s awake, but Gaara is still sleeping. I wonder what happened when we weren’t here?” Kankurou was a little worried about why Gaara was sleeping this late.

“Don’t worry about it, Kankurou. I’m sure Neji kept him safe the entire time.” Temari didn’t want to admit it, but she was worried too.

After the food was done, Gaara and Neji came down to the dinner room. They sat at the table and waited for the food. Temari looked up at Gaara and saw that he looked kind of weak but didn’t want to say anything. Kankurou saw it too.


“Hey Gaara. Why do you look so weak? Did you get enough sleep last night?” Kankurou didn’t care if Gaara’s boyfriend was sitting there, but Gaara did look weaker this morning, compared others.

“I’m fine Kankurou. I just stayed up late is all. We were playing a game and I couldn’t get to sleep.” Gaara lied.

Kankurou looked at Gaara, then Neji, then back to Gaara. “You better not be lying Gaara. If something back happened you need to tell me. I can’t be a big brother, if you don’t tell me things.” Kankurou looked at his brother again and Gaara gave him that face that told him- ‘I’ll tell you later after he leaves.’

Temari saw it too but before they could say anything. Gaara and Neji were done eating and went back to Gaara’s room. Then it was just them in the dining room.

“Do you think it’s that bad that Gaara has to wait for him to leave?” Kankurou looked at Temari who shrugged. Then they both started to eat again.

Up in Gaara’s room. Gaara sat on the bed and Neji was holding him. Gaara was a little freaked out that Kankurou saw how terrible he looked and felt. He knew he couldn’t hide it from Kankurou or Temari. They would just find out sooner or later. Gaara looked up that Neji who was staring down at him.

“Neji, I’m a little worried about telling me brother and sister about what Itachi did. What should I do?” Gaara asked.

“You should tell them Gaara. They really care about you. Unlike me, you have a brother and sister. I am a only child and my father died.” Neji looked away for a little, then back at Gaara. “He died trying to save me, when I was young. I used to love going outside to play on the playground.” He paused. ”That day changed everything. I was playing on the swing and this guy came up to me. He picked me up and the only thing I knew to do was scream for me father. He came and got me out of the guy’s arms. He pushed me back and stood in between me and the guy. Then before we knew it, the guy pulled out the knife and stabbed my father. Now I’m living with my uncle and cousins.” Neji looked like he was about to cry, but stopped when Gaara started saying something.


“It’s not as bad as my family use to be.” Gaara looked at the ground and just stared.

“What do you mean Gaara?” Neji was feeling worry rush over him now that Gaara’s voice sounded upset.

“I mean my father. I’m glad to be away from him. My life was living hell. He beat me everyday and told me I wasn’t allowed to see my uncle. He would lock us in our rooms if we didn’t listen to him. He even tried to kill me. That’s why it took me so long to talk to people. I didn’t want to get hurt or anything and I was scared too.” Gaara stopped talking and just looked at the ground.

Neji looked at Gaara and pulled the boy closer to him. He held Gaara and whispered things in him ear to calm him down. Neji could tell that Kankurou and Temari were outside the door so he knew that they heard everything. He didn’t care. His past was sad and he need to talk to someone, so did Gaara.

“Gaara, I never knew that your life was that bad. And why...why would your father try to kill you?” Neji had a feeling that Gaara wasn’t going to tell him, but he did.

“Because my father never wanted children. It was my mother that wanted us. When she died we were left with your father. We wanted so bad to move with our uncle and stay out of our father’s way but he wanted us to stay with him. He told us that we were the only things left to remind him of our mother. A month later he started to beat me. Kankurou tried to stop him so many times but he just kept coming after me. I could never run away from him. The scar you were asking about yesterday morning, it was from something sharp. He pushed me down the steps and something went through my shoulder. I never felt so much pain before.” Gaara looked down again but his head was brought back up and Neji, who kissed him.

“I understand Gaara. You don’t have to tell me anymore. Now you don’t have to worry about him anymore. I’m sure with you changing and everything, he’ll never find you or hurt you.” Neji pushed him lightly, so that Gaara was laying on the bed with Neji on top of him. Neji started kissing Gaara’s neck and putting his hands up Gaara’s shirt. He then slowly started taking Gaara’s shirt off and kissing down his neck and shoulder. Neji was about to go down farther, but Gaara stopped him and lightly pulled his face back up to his. Then Gaara started kissing him more and sucking and biting Neji’s neck. They were still teasing each other when there was a knock on Gaara’s bedroom door.

“Who is it and what do you want?” Gaara asked.


“It’s me Gaara. I was wondering what you’re doing.” Kankurou said.

Gaara and Neji looked at each other and started laughing. They knew Kankurou was standing at the door. So they didn’t do anything that Kankurou would throw Neji out of the house for.

“Do you think he knows what we were doing just a minute ago?” asked Gaara.

“Who knows? I hope he didn’t or he’d probably kill me.” Neji said with a laughed.

“Yeah or maybe torture you in school tomorrow.” Gaara looked at Neji and smiled at him.

“Yeah, maybe. Well what do you want to do since your brother is now keeping an eye on us?” asked Gaara.

“I don’t know. We can play a racing game on PS2 if you want.” Gaara said.

“Fine, then I can show you how I kick everyone’s ass.” Neji said with a smile. They started playing the game and Neji was winning but then Gaara put in a cheat code without Neji seeing it. Then Gaara got one of the fastest cars in the game. Neji didn’t know how he did it until he looked at the floor and saw something Gaara was trying to hide.

“Hey Gaara why are you cheating?” Neji smile and grabbed the book and took it away from Gaara.

“Because I can.” Gaara said.

After about an hour they went down to get something to eat. While they were down there Kankurou was watching them to see how they acted. He could tell that Gaara was happier then anything. Even Temari knew it. They loved seeing Gaara’s real smile. He was as happy as he was when their mother use to be alive. They thought that smile was never going to come back. It looked like they were wrong again.

“I’m so happy to see Gaara like this. I thought he would never come out of the past. It looks like he forgot about father Kankurou.” Temari was almost jumping up and down but stopped when Kankurou was staring at her.

“I’m happy too, but we shouldn’t be watching them. So let’s go up to my room and when Neji leaves. Gaara will come up and tell us. Okay?” Kankurou stared at her and saw that she shook her head, then they went up to his room.

---

Gaara and Neji started to watch TV. After an hour Neji knew he had to get home. So Gaara walked Neji to the door and they kissed. After that they said bye to each other and Neji left. When Neji was finally gone Gaara went up to his brother’s room where Kankurou and Temari were sitting. When he walked in, Kankurou looked up that him.

“So are you going to tell us why you looked so weak?” Asked Kankurou.

“Well I answer the door about a day ago, after I heard the doorbell and Itachi was at the door.” Said Gaara

“What happened Gaara!” Temari freaked.

“I tried to close the door, but then him and two others pushed the door open and Itachi covered my mouth so I couldn’t call Neji for help. Then Itachi took me down to the basement and had Orochimaru and Kimimaro tied me up and then...Itachi...r-raped me.” Gaara looked at the ground almost in tears.

“Why I’m going to fucking hurt him when I get to school tomorrow.” Kankurou slammed he fist on the desk making Gaara jump some.

“Don’t worry little brother. Kankurou will take care of this.” Temari said hugging her brother.

Gaara was about to go to bed when he heard the doorbell. He went to his room hoping his brother or sister would answer it. They didn’t. So Gaara walked to the steps and yelled down.

“Who is it?” There was no answer but the person knocked on the door now. Gaara asked again getting near the door. “Who is there?” No answer. Now it was pissing him off. He went up to the door and without checking it. He unlocked it and opened it. Looking up he saw who was standing in front of him. “No. Not you again.”
