After that little insident, Naruto and Gaara arrived in their homeroom class, waiting for their usually late teacher: Kakashi. Gaara headed towards the back of the classroom, where no one sat, considering it was Gaara's area. Everyone at that school was deeply afraid of Gaara, and Naruto, but only because of Gaara. Gaara and Sakura are very similar in that aspect, and so are Naruto and Hinata. Since Naruto was Gaara's best friend, he had to eccept the people that came along with it. Though, he would no longer keep in contact with Hyuuga, and neither would Naruto. So, at this point, the only people they accociated themselves with(As friends), were: Shikamaru, Choji, Tenten, Lee(Though Gaara hated him!), Kiba, and Shino. The friends were pretty much the outsiders of the whole school: Gaara was feared, Naruto was his best friend and Ramen crazy, Shikamaru was too lazy, Choji was Munch-Munch Boy, Tenten was a tomboy(None of the girls were!), Lee was too youthfull, Kiba was obsessed with his dog, and Shino was Bug-Boy.
So, they all sat in their usual spots. Naruto and Gaara hadn't told their friends about the girls, and today they decided they would.
"Alright guys," Naruto said, "Gaara and I have girlfriends that we haven't told you about."
"What?! Naruto, who would go out with you?" Kiba asked.
Naruto simply ignored him, Gaara had helped him with that a while back. "Yeah, you know how Gaara and I were forced to work at the Insane Asylum?" they all nodded, "Well, that's where we met our girlfriends." Naruto had a big happy grin on his face.
"So," Tenten started, "You're dating girls that go toan insane asylum?" they all started to laugh.
"Yes," Gaara spoke and they immediately shut up. Gaara didn't talk much, and when he did, it was obviously important. "Our charges are the ones we are dating."
Before they could say more, Kakashi came through the door with Sasuke behind him; Gaara growled at him, while Naruto stuck out his tongue. Though, the others didn't notice.
"Alright everyone," Kakashi spoke, "I will ask you of your assignment, you will tell me, than shut up. Got it?"
"Yes," everyone answered.
Everyone was in pairs for this project. Finally, he got to Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki, report on...Hinata Hyuuga from the Insane Asylum?"
Naruto grinned when he saw Neji's reaction of Hinata, but he answered. "Very well. She's become less tense, doesn't studder as much, and she's not so scared of people touching her anymore."
Kakashi's eyes widened, "Excellent job, Naruto. Does Tsunade know of her progress?" Naruto nodded, "Do you know of her past?"
Naruto frowned, "Yes, but I do not feel comfortable with saying it out loud. It's a secret she trusted with Gaara and I." Kakashi nodded, "Also, Tsunade said that she is aloud to leave, but she chooses not to."
Kakashi looked at him strangely, "Why not?"
Naruto once again grinned, "Because her best friend isn't even close to being released, she does not wish to leave."
"Very well. Lastly, Gaara. You're paired up with Naruto, so your charge is also in the Insane Asylum. Sa-"
"Yes," Gaara interrupted, not wanting Sasuke to know where she was, "She is doing better, but not ready to leave. The only big difference is that she seems to be happier. She also hasn't wanted to cut herself, and has slept 2 nights."
Kakashi's eyes couldn't be any wider. Tsunade had talked constantly about this girl, and yet Gaara had somehow managed this? "Good job, Gaara."
BBBBBBRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
The students rushed out of their class and onto second period.
"Naruto," Neji said behind him, "You're working with Hinata?"
Naruto glared at Neji, "Yeah, and I'm glad! Now, I know what kind of family, if you can call it that, you have!" Naruto left, running after Gaara, with a stunned Hyuuga.
As they arrived in Second Period, Choji asked Naruto, "You're dating a Hyuuga? An insane Hyuuga? I thought they were all perfect!"
"She is perfect!" Naruto stated, "It's just.....no one can see it."
They sat in the back of the class, like always. Gaara had realized that Naruto trully did care about Hinata, and to tell the truth, he was happy for Naruto. He had never had a girlfriend, so he was glad he got someone like Hinata. And Gaara felt as though he was the luckiest boy in the world, to beable to be with Sakura. Although they barely knew each other, he felt as if he loved her with all his heart, and nothing would break that bond.
"H-Hey, Gaara," Lord! It was that annoying bitch again, Ino!
"What do you want?" he asked, annoyed by her interupting his thoughts.
"I-I was just curious if it was true that you were dating a girl from the Insane Asylum?"
His eyes widened, "Who told you that?" he growled.
"I o-overheard you con-conversation with y-your friends."
"You shouldn't ease-drop," he said monotonously.
"So it's not true?" hope springing to her eyes.
"I never said that," he said, shattering her dreams.
"Hey, Pig-face," Naruto said, "Leave Gaara alone!"
Ino left, but had certain thoughts......Whoever this insane girl is, I shall tell her that no one messes with my man! I'll teach her who's boss! She smirked, and sat with her friends, thinking of her plans.
The school day was more and more boring.
So finally, it was time to leave. Gaara and Naruto got to their transportation(Gaara has his black motorcycle, Naruto has his silver porche). They drove as fast as they could to the Insane Asylum, tryng to reach their girls as soon as possible.
How sweet!!!!!!!!!
