Chapter 8


Tsunade sat at her desk, buried up to her chin in paper work. Shouts from outside her office door pulled her from her work. She glared as a very angry Uchiha barged into her office, followed by two flustered Chuunin.

"What the hell is going on?" she demanded, glaring straight at the rumpled Uchiha.

“We apologize, Hokage-sama. We tried to stop him, but he got past us." the shorter of the two Chuunin answered lamely, looking extremely embarrassed and out of breath.

"I see. And what is so important that you had to see me so desperately for?" asked Tsunade as she leaned back in her chair.

"Forgive me, Hokage-sama, but I came to talk to you about Naruto and these two idiots refused to let me see you." Sasuke explained, trying to reign in his anger. Why was it once you mentioned the dobe's name, every one turned cold and heartless? After all these years of knowing the blond, he had yet to figure it out.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and glared at the two Chuunin. "Is this true?" she asked, her words laced with anger, causing the two Chuunin to squirm. They didn't bother to answer. Tsunade sighed and excused the Chuunin, promises of speaking about this with them later following them out the door.

"What is it that you need to discuss?" Tsunade asked as she rearranged her paper work so they were out of her way.

"I need to know if you found anything else about Naruto’s condition." Sasuke said, getting straight to the point.

"I was going to call him in here later today for further examination. I have a theory, but I am not going to discuss it with anyone besides Naruto." Tsunade answered, giving Sasuke a pointed look. "Why do you need to know?" she asked as an after thought.

Sasuke could feel his anger threatening to boil over again as he thought about what had happened last night. He was so naive to have believed he got to his dobe in time. "Naruto isn't able to control himself." he said in a hardened voice.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade asked, looking at him curiously.

Sasuke glared at the ground, not really wanting to say any more, but knew Tsunade needed to know if she was to help Naruto. "He let Gaara jump him." he ground out, gritting his teeth together.

Tsunade looked at the Uchiha in shock. Gaara... jumped Naruto? They both have demons... Shit! She needed to speak with Gaara now! She had an aching suspicion that her theory was correct.

Tsunade quickly called in a Chuunin and sent him to fetch Gaara before turning her attention back to the Uchiha. He was watching her intently, waiting for her to tell him what was going on.

"I'm not releasing any information without Naruto's consent." she stated.

Sasuke fumed, but remained silent. She was right. Anything concerning Naruto was the dobe’s business. Tsunade had no right to go around releasing his information.

"Go join your team. Once I have Naruto here, I'll send for you, alright?" Tsunade said, trying to appease the Uchiha.

Sasuke nodded, and headed for the door.

"You really do care for him, don't you?" Tsunade asked as he reached for the doorknob. Sasuke stilled.

Care for him? Naruto was his everything! He was angry, but he really couldn't blame the dobe. Naruto couldn't control what was happening to himself, and it didn't take a genius to see that the boy was sorry. But what would prevent him from doing it again? If Gaara were to show up, would he be able to refuse? How would he feel if Naruto couldn't?

He couldn't answer those. Not yet. He needed time to reflect. He needed to know all of the facts before he could come to any kind of conclusion. But he did care for the dobe, he knew that that would never change.

"Hai." Sasuke answered - he would always care for his dobe.

"...."

Gaara folded his arms and stared at the inquiring blond woman. Did she really expect him to answer such a personal question? With the look she was giving him, he'd have to say, yes, she did.

"Gaara." Tsunade said, leaning back into her chair. "I need to know."

"...."

"Damn it, Gaara! I can't help Naruto if you don't tell me what I need to know!" Tsunade bellowed in irritation, her left eyebrow beginning to twitch.

"You want to know if Naruto and I are in heat?" Gaara asked in an extremely flat tone.

"Yes!" Tsunade answered.

"...."

"Gaara!" Tsunade could not believe how much trouble she was having with this. The Sand Nin was either extremely shy or just being very difficult, she had yet to decide which. "How hard can it be to answer?! It’s either 'yes', or 'no'. Pick one!" she yelled in exasperation, her hands gesturing the two choices.

"Hai." Gaara finally answered. His voice was void of all emotion as he let that one little fact known. His face was more impassive than it had been in years - he wasn't even glaring. Inwardly, Gaara thanked the Shukaku demon for the sand covering his body - he was positive he was as red as the color of his hair - he was so embarrassed.

'Yes! Now we’re getting somewhere!' Tsunade cheered herself, mentally doing a victory dance. "Do you know how long it'll last?"

"...." Gaara idly wondered if anyone would really miss the busty blond if she were to somehow mysteriously disappear; she asked way too many personal questions.

Tsunade sighed. 'Here we go again.' Why was it that every question she threw at the boy, it was met with difficulty?

"The first season of the year until the end of the season." Gaara answered just as Tsunade was about to yell at him again.

"So this will happen every year?" she asked.

"Hai." He answered in the same flat tone.

“What about during the fall?”

“Our season is only in the first.”

“Hmm...” Tsunade narrowed her eyes, studying the Sand Nin. "How come you seem to be handling this better than Naruto?" she inquired, getting up from her seat to lean against the front of her desk.

'That's it! I'm positive no one would mind if she suddenly disappeared!' Gaara thought, starting to glare at the Hokage.

"Don't even try it brat. I'll punch through that sand of yours so hard, it'll knock you into the next life!" Tsunade warned, as if sensing his thoughts. "Just answer my questions brat, and I'll let you go." she smirked, crossing her arm under her large bust as his glare hardened.

Ooh, if looks could kill. She was actually starting to enjoy this. That is, now that she was getting some kind of reaction out of the red head.

"It is hard to control ourselves around someone we feel drawn to. Because Uzumaki has been trying to control himself around certain people, its been taking its toll on his body." Gaara gritted out. Oh how he wanted to kill this woman! Why did she need to know all of this anyway?!

"So if you're not around that person...?" she prompted.

"It is easier for us."

"But not completely?"

"...."

"I'll take that as a 'yes'." Tsunade said, going back around to sit at her desk again. This all really did make sense.

So that meant that Naruto was drawn to both the Uchiha and Gaara. Somehow she really wasn't surprised. She always knew that Naruto had a thing for the Uchiha - with the entire rivalry act he kept putting up, it wasn't hard to guess. And Gaara was just like him, both burdened with a demon - they understood each other in ways that no one else ever could.

'I wonder how he will choose between the two?' she wondered. 'Unless of course he chooses both.'

"...."

'Why is this nut grinning?' Gaara was not liking the look on the woman's face at all. It gave him the willies. "I have answered your questions." Gaara pointed out, pulling the blond from her thoughts.

Tsunade looked up at the nin, studying him seriously for a moment.

"Just one more thing before you go." she said, leaning forward in her chair so she could rest her arms on the desk. Gaara just stared at her, waiting for whatever personal question she could think up next, to come.

"You do realize that Naruto doesn't know what is going on with him." she informed.

"....!"

'Naruto doesn't know! Didn't he bother to ask Kyuubi what was going on with him?'

"Hmm, that's what I thought." Tsunade said, still studying the red head. "You didn't know, did you? How did you find out?"

"I asked Shukaku." Gaara answered simply.

Tsunade stared at the red head in slight surprise. She hadn't realized that he could communicate with the demon. Of course it made sense - how else would he have been able to answer her questions?

Now all she had to do was inform Naruto. And that meant she had to send someone who she knew wouldn't get jumped by the blond. Tsunade grinned again. She had the perfect person to send for him. "You may go now." she said, calling in yet another Chuunin to fetch someone for her.

Gaara left the moment the permission was given - there was no way he was sticking around after that humiliating interview.

"What's the matter, pretty boy?" Temari asked as she blocked a kick
from the Uchiha. "I thought that you were better then this."

Sasuke threw a series of punches and kicks, all the blond girl blocked and ducked quite easily. His mind wasn't on the sparring match, it was with a different blond, one he would rather be sparring with in a different manner altogether. A blond that he loved. A blond that he had left crying earlier that day.

"Shut up." Sasuke answered cleverly. Temari smirked and threw a combination of her own attacks. Sasuke dodged, blocked and jumped away, narrowly missing the last attack.

"Your mind too occupied thinking about that Uzumaki kid or something?" Temari asked. If her opponent didn't want to fight, then the least they could do was talk.

Sasuke glared at her. He really didn't want to talk to her about anything that had to do with his dobe. It was bad enough that he had to be around any of the Sand nin - they only reminded him of Gaara, and thinking of him made him think of what happened - it was a whole association thing.

"You know, if you're so worried about the kid, you should just go see him. Talk to him." Temari advised as she kicked her legs under the Uchiha, knocking him to the ground.

Sasuke back flipped and landed on his feet, crouching slightly. "What would you know?" he growled out.

"I know that until you clear your head of its distractions, you're really not that fun to fight." Temari said, yawning to prove her point - she would rather fight that annoying pink-haired girl at the moment then the brooding Uchiha.

Sasuke glared daggers at her, but she had a point. He was too distracted. If this were a real fight, he would have gotten his ass kicked by now. Reminding himself that he’d get to see his dobe later, Sasuke renewed his attacks, trying his best to keep his mind clear.

To say that Sakura was having a bad day was an understatement. Not only had she been paired up with Kankuro, (which she was positive Kakashi did on purpose) but that bitch of a blond got paired up with her Sasuke! And they were talking! Sasuke was actually talking with that bitch Temari!

Sakura wasn't mad. Far from it. She was furious! How dare that Temari come in and snatch her Sasuke away from her!

"Ow!" Sakura yelped once again as Kankuro's hand pinched at her rear. They were supposed to be sparring, but Kankuro seemed to think that that meant he could cop a feel every chance he got.

Kankuro only grinned at Sakura as she threw him what she thought was a deadly glare. It really was so much fun to get under her skin. It cracked him up to see her so out of sorts.

"Your opponent is me, not them." he reminded her as he lunged, throwing an open handed punch that was aimed a little too high. Sakura screamed as that 'punch' landed right on her left breast.

Kakashi watched from afar as Kankuro repeatedly pinched and squeezed at Sakura. If Sakura ever wanted to dodge those, she was going to have to get a whole lot faster. Well, that was the excuse he told himself for pairing up the two. Truthfully, it was just fun to watch.

Kakashi grinned under his mask as the puppet boy was able to pin her on the ground, straddling Sakura longer than he should of. He quickly looked away in sympathized pain as the boy took a really well aimed kick. He couldn't watch any longer as Sakura took advantage of the boy’s temporary paralyses and dealt her revenge. Sometimes Sakura was just a little too vicious.

Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes. The dream was different this time. He was still in the clearing in the woods, but the body… he had seen more. There were details there that he couldn’t see before. He knew who it was now.

He had never seen him that way before - didn’t know he could do that. But he had. And he wasn't sure what to think now that he knew who it was.

He had been gentle, whispering words of comfort and assurance, as if sensing that he was upset. He had never spoken before, at least not in the dream. It had calmed him down a great deal, but he was still upset, still didn't know what to do. But he didn't feel so alone now.

Naruto sat up, stretching his sore limbs, his back cracking in relief. His gaze wandered around the room, lingering on the stains and rumpled clothes. Two different reminders of two different people.

"I need to speak with them." he told himself, remembering how it felt to be in each of their arms. He wanted both. "I promised myself to both." What was he supposed to do now? Would they force him to choose? He didn't want to. But... Sasuke had been so upset.

He sighed. Gaara had been pretty upset himself. If they forced him to choose, he would be breaking a promise to at least one of them. He never broke a promise - that was his way of the ninja. What was he supposed to do?

A knock at the door pulled Naruto from his thoughts. He stood, stretching as he made his way across the room and answered the door.

"Uzumaki." the black clad boy greeted when the door opened.

"Gaara? Why are you here?" Naruto asked in surprise, stepping aside to let the red head in. Almost immediately his body tightened, heated up.

Gaara entered the room and stared at Naruto, taking in his naked body. He could feel his own body coming to life fast as his eyes lingered on the boy's erecting member, completely forgetting the real reason for his visit.

Naruto squirmed under Gaara’s intense stare, blushing fiercely as he realized he was standing there in the nude. The hungry look in those green eyes sent intoxicating shivers down his spine.

"Wanted to see you." Gaara replied, pulling Naruto into his arms, pressing him to his body.

"Aren't you supposed to be training right now?" Naruto asked, starting to pant. His hardened cock rubbed deliciously against Gaara's black pants, the friction shooting sparks of pleasure up his spine.

"I did go. But the Hokage called me away. I didn't want to return." Gaara answered, cupping Naruto’s chin and tilting the head back so he could kiss him deeply. Naruto moaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms tight around the red head, his knees growing weak once again. Gaara seemed to have that affect on him, and he loved it.

Gaara smirked into the kiss and picked the boy up bridal style, lips still locked together. Naruto yelped into the kiss and broke it, surprised at being swept off of his feet.

Gaara's smirk grew as he made his way to the bedroom, throwing Naruto down onto the still rumpled bed. Gaara quickly ripped his own cloths off and crawled onto the bed and over the blond, licking and nipping his way up to Naruto’s lips.

Naruto groaned as the lips made their way up his body and roughly kissed back when they reached his mouth. Gaara's hands skimmed across Naruto’s torso, stopping to play with the nipples, forcing another moan from the blond. Gaara broke the kiss and licked his way down the blonds neck to his chest, taking a nipple into his mouth.

"Aahh." Naruto gasped as he felt teeth bite down hard on the sensitive skin, sending pleasure throughout him. He could feel Gaara’s arousal rub into him and he lifted his hips, grinding them together.

Gaara moaned and ground back, his hands moving to hold down the boy's hips. Giving one last nip, Gaara pulled away from the nipple and fanned his hot breath along the skin to the other one, administering the same treatment. Naruto panted and thrashed under Gaara, pleasure running rampant through him, whimpering as the red head pulled his talented mouth away from his skin altogether.

Gaara looked down at the flushed blond, soaking up the sight of him. He leaned down, kissing the boy roughly, his tongue lapping up the taste of his mate, a mixture of ramen and honey. He released his hold on the blonds hips and brought a hand between both their bodies. Fire burned through both boys as he fisted both their organs and pumped, sending a shuddering pleasure through them both.

"Aaahhh... Nnn..." Naruto moaned, breaking the kiss and digging his fingers into the red heads back. Gaara groaned, sweat starting to course down his skin, mingling with the boy below him. "More." Naruto demanded, wanting to feel Gaara inside him, needing to feel him inside him.

"More what?" Gaara asked, his voice throaty and sensual.

"Aahh... want... inside me..." Naruto managed through his panting, his own voice heavy with need.

"Uzumaki." Gaara groaned, releasing his hold on their arousals. Nipping and sucking the crook of the boy’s neck, he pushed the boy’s legs apart, and positioned himself between them, not bothering to prepare the boy.

Naruto threw his head back and screamed in pain and pleasure as Gaara thrust into him, splitting him in two. Gaara waited a moment, letting Naruto get used to him before he pulled out slowly and thrust back in hard. Both were panting and gasping heavily, there bodies slick with sweat, sliding against each other as the red head set the pace. Naruto wrapped his legs around the boy, allowing him to push in deeper.

"Aaahhh!!" Naruto screamed as his prostate was slammed into, pleasure exploding through his body. Gaara lifted his head and looked down at the blond, watching the flushed face as he fucked him, pounding into him harder and harder, faster and faster. His hand snaked between their bodies again, fisting the boys pulsing erection, pre-cum dripping steadily from the tip. He smeared the pre-cum over the head with his thumb before pumping, matching the rhythm of his violent thrusts.

A fiery pleasure pulsed throughout the blond, tightening and coiling within him, threatening to burst at any moment. "Aahh... Gaara..." he said in guttural cry, thrashing wildly beneath the boy, his hands on the boy's back, drawing blood from where his nails dug into the skin.

Gaara pushed himself deeply into the boy, thrusting into him as fast and as hard as he could, their skin slapping together as he pounded away, pleasure ricocheting throughout his body as he assaulted the boy.

"GAAARRAAA!!" Naruto screamed as he came, white blinding his vision, hot cum pouring from him, splattering both boys’ stomachs. Gaara grunted his release, shuddering with a burning pleasure, the sight of the blond coming sending him over the edge. He collapsed on top of his mate, spent for the time being, both panting heavily, trying to catch their breaths.

"Gaara." Naruto panted. Gaara looked down at the blond, moaning at the sight of him. Blue eyes stared into his own lovingly, his flushed face graced with a tender smile.

"Uzumaki." he whispered back, kissing the blonds lips, warmth spreading through him, settling into his heart. Gaara smiled into the kiss, his arms tightening around his mate, knowing that Naruto could teach him what it truly means to love.

TBC

A/N: So how did you lovely people like? Did you all understand why Naruto is having such a hard time being in heat and not Gaara? You would have a hard time controlling yourself too if you were constantly around Sasuke or Gaara, and not able to do anything about it.
And Gaara hadn't been around anyone he was attracted to until he reached Leaf, and even then he wasn't around Naruto that long for him to react as bad. That is until he went to his apartment and they fucked the hell out of each other. That make sense to any one?
Let me know what ya think.
