16) how long have you been into Naruto?

Well maybe for a while now, but I would say five to six years :) I fell in love with the mix of comedy, action, and drama in the anime when I was doing laundry and decided to watch it on Netflix for fun.

Then I watched the Shippuden one year after watching Naruto original, and finished it within a year.

How long have you guys been watching or reading Naruto? Let me know!

This is PART TWO of the oneshots SECRETS.

Dedicated to for requesting for a second part.

Konoha High News: The Reality Check Humans Need Face- Vampires Are Real. 

Gaara held your hand as you watched people grabbing newspapers from the pile of them near the journalism class. Many months had pass by, and the more you were getting used to his whole werewolf life. Looking back then, you were almost embarrassed of how you reacted. Though they told you it was normal to react like that, it was still a shame. 

How could you be afraid for that one small minute? Nothing changed about Gaara- and that was an absolute fact. 

"Vampires....Kind of a weird topic." Sasuke said, opening his locker next to the two of you. "Who recommended it?" He met your boyfriend's sea green eyes, who glared slightly at him. Between the two of them, you coughed awkwardly. "Well, I found a few supernatural books about them, so I decided to do some research. I met so many people, the witch doctor, the weird neighbor down the street who lights candles that smell like flowers.." 

The bell decided to ring quietly, people around you walking away and going to their classes. Sasuke nodded at you before slamming his locker, walking away and turning into the right hallway. 

Leading the way, you guided him to where you guys were going. "What was that all about? Is Sasuke...one of you guys too?" you said quietly, Gaara shaking his head. "We'll talk about this later, when we work on that project assigned in English. Your place at 6?" He told you softly in return, opening the door for you. 

"Of course. It's a date." A tint of red came from your cheeks, considering you guys were just recently on a first date. 

The teacher looked at the two of you, the bell ringing as soon as you guys stepped in and released hands. "Well, what a relief. I was afraid you guys would be late...again. Take a seat."

While you sat down across the room from Gaara, you could feel piercing eyes somewhere. Looking around, it Sasuke's cousin whose name you didn't know. Similar to Sasuke's, it was as if they were saying something more than their outer pupil. Giving him a small wave, you turned back to the teacher who began the chemistry lesson. 

The feeling of eyes staring at you continued to last throughout the class period. 

>>>>>>>>.

As the two of you were heading towards Temari's black SUV, your history teacher Kakashi walked towards you two. 

"Gaara, can I have a word with you? It'll only take a moment." 

The two of you looked over at him, his bicolored eye glowing in the sunlight. You always wondered how he had one red eye, like an Uchiha would at times, and the other one stayed black. Sometimes it changed colors, from the left eye being a black to a full bright red. It was mesmerizing. 

You gave your boyfriend a pat on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we won't leave you here." you said teasingly, giving him a goofy smile before walking off into Temari's car. Meanwhile, Kakashi walked closer to Gaara, glancing around before speaking. 

"The Uchihas have heard about her knowledge of werewolves through some...leaks." he said quietly. "I'm not part of their clan, but as far as I know they think you told her to write about it. Is it true, Gaara? You know what could happen...."

He nodded, clenching his right fist lightly. "I had to..if I really wanted to be with her, she had to know every thing about me. Not too long after she found out..the truth, I told her other things. Things that I knew she could handle, things that wouldn't risk her life-" 

Kakashi interrupted him. "But you did. The Uchihas will find out somehow. Protect her at all costs. Understand? They'll take her out if it means they remain in the shadows." he said in a serious tone, looking back at you watching them from the car window with a worried face. 

He smiled under the scarf wrapped around his face, waving at you as Gaara walked to the car. Soon enough, he was in the car sitting next to you. "So many weird stuff happening today, huh? First Sasuke talking to you weird, now Kakashi. Hopefully this day won't get any weirder." you said to him, going on your phone as you zoned out from them. 

Her dark green eyes met her younger brother's eyes, knowing that Gaara was speaking about something important with Kakashi. Temari nodded slowly, driving onto the main street. 

"So...how did they like the newspaper article?" Kankuro asked you, who took a second to flash back into reality. "It was great, they all seemed interested and asked for me to write about werewolves too. But whoever asked that, I shut them down each time. I know the agreement." you said loud and proud, a small smile on your face as you winked at Gaara. 

Despite the stress from earlier, the melted as he looked at you with a rapid heart beat. 

>>>>>>>6:30, L/n Home

Gaara in his wolf form snuggled against you as you two were in the living room. Your mother/father/parents would be home soon, but he would change back the minute before their expected arrival. 

Taking a small break, you leaned into his warm fur, closing your eyes as you felt drained and exhausted. "You're like...an extra soft pillow, Gaara." you mumbled, opening them the slightest to see his green eyes staring back at you. He nudged your forehead with his nose gently, breathing slowly and calmly.

There was a rustle in the bushes outside, Gaara noticing you were falling asleep slowly against him. Raising his head up slightly, he wish the blinds were slightly opened to see what it was. Kakashi's warning made him tense, but her kept it inside so it wouldn't disturb you. 

CAW-CAW. 

His ears twitched a bit, noticing a flash of red eyes from one of the blinds was caught in his view. Gaara couldn't held but let out a quiet growl, knowing Itachi Uchiha had sent his crow to spy on you. You sat up quietly, your hand accidentally slapping his hind leg. He flinched, letting out a harsh puff of air. 

"Sorry, sorry..." you said, letting out a nervous laugh. Gaara carefully got up, his jaw grabbing his clothes and jogging to the bathroom. 

As Gaara was gone, you continued to do your history work. Suddenly, your phone rang. It was Sasuke, texting you a short message by the looks of it. "Sasuke? He barely talks to me...." you murmured, opening it. 

SasuButt: Naruto is having a party this Friday, at eight pm. He lost your number so he wanted me to ask you if you wanted to go. 

Humming in thought, except from your usual Friday plans you had nothing that would stop you from going. 

Y/n: Sure, I don't see why not. Where at? Can I bring Gaara too? Or was he already invited?

Sasuke: It's in a new, hidden restaurant. Apparently we have to meet up together and go secretly. But it's somewhere near the smoothie cafe on Shinobi Avenue. Apparentely Naruto said he was upset with Gaara, so I don't think he'd want him to go. Don't tell Gaara about this, it might make the two of them fight or something like that. 

Nodding in agreement, you gave him a thumbs up before hearing the bathroom door open, Gaara approaching you as you put your phone down to continue finishing the project that was due by the end of the week. Which was Friday...and it was already Thursday...

As he sat back down next to you, Gaara raised an eyebrow. "Who were you texting? I could hear your nails tapping loudly like you were in a rush to talk to them." He asked you, pulling his laptop closer to him as he worked on the presentation. 

"Oh, you know...just Sakura. She wanted me and her to go on a girl's night tomorrow, so I won't be able to hangout tomorrow night. Sorry Gaara~" you purred, kissing his cheek gently. He shook his head, offering a small smile. "You should go, you deserve it after all the hard work we put in this project."

Gleaming up at him with relief, you rested your head on his shoulder as you pulled your own laptop closer. "Thanks." you whispered to him. 

>>>>>>>>Friday, 7:45 pm<

You walked towards the exact area that Sasuke talked about, seeing him on his phone. He looked over at you, his eyes glowing a soft but not bright red. "Oi, they already went towards the secret location without us. Come on, I'll show you the way." Sasuke told you, walking towards the alley way. 

Hesitantly, you followed him as you gripped your purse by your side. 

Gaara watched from afar, glaring and growling like usual when he saw an Uchiha. Suddenly, a large hand grabbed his shoulder, turning him around. 

"I don't think you should interfere, Gaara of the Sand Wolves." Itachi hissed quietly, trying to make sure people couldn't interfere. "You have disobeyed our treaty. This is the consequence our leader told us to do, and do it we must. If you dare fight back...you'll die with her." 

He grabbed Itachi's hand, pulling it off as he pushed him away. Itachi only moved the slightest, watching Gaara run towards where Sasuke and you had gone off to. His crow, who was the new body of Shisui, flew above his head, flying in pursuit. 

Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it, seeing how it was Kakashi. 

"I won't let you hurt one of my students, Itachi." he heard him through the phone, staying quiet for a moment. "I never wanted this to happen. Besides, I won't be the one to harm them. She'll hurt herself in the end of all this." he said in a snarky tone back, hanging up before stuffing it into his leather coat. 

CAW CAW. 

"S-Sasuke, get off of me!" you said, glaring up at him as he grabbed your wrist, his hand on your chin as he made you stare into his eyes.

"Amateras-" 

Gaara's wolf form tackled him down, your breath heavy as you backed away quickly. As much as you wanted to know why or how he knew, you were relieved he came at the right time. 

They were fighting one another, a crow landing the bench across from them as they fought. Gaara was biting and snapping at Sauske, who hissed back and reveal long, bright fangs. 

Vampires. The Uchihas were vampires. Gulping softly, you heard footsteps racing towards you. Temari and Kankuro looked over at you, Temari's face glowing in the moonlight. "Y/n, go! Gaara!" she yelled, looking over at her sibling who back away from Sasuke, his eyes staring at him. Just as Sasuke was going to speak, Kankuro pulled him away. The two then were hand to hand, Kankuro trying to persuade him to give up. 

Running up to you, Gaara felt natural as you jumped on top of him. Temari tossed him a a bag of clothes, of caught it before running into the nearby woods. 

When the two of you got there, you got off him as he breathed heavily. He changed back, bare naked as you faced the other way like usual. "Garaa...I-I...didn't know this would happen." you said shame fully, bring your knees to your chest. "You can look." he told you, your eyes looking at him shirtless and wearing his pants. 

He had many scratches on his arms and shoulders, your fingers gently touching them as he flinched at each touch. "You didn't know, Y/n. It's okay- I shouldn't have told you everything." Gaara told you, grabbing your hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. "...Don't blame yourself."

Tearing up, you pulled him into a hug, embracing him tightly as you sighed in relief that he was okay. He kissed your temple, and then your cheek, gently moving your face to face is. 

You looked up to him before closing your eyes, kissing him deeply. All the tension of the situation caused you to become stressful, sinking into Gaara as it all almost disappeared. 

Gaara let go of the kiss, closing his eyes as he pressed his forehead against yours. 

The bushes moved not to far from them, the sounds of a bird flying above. Glowing red eyes were in the shadows, staring at the two of you as you were too busy wiping your face to notice who was behind you. 

"I should be the one blaming myself for this..." Gaara said, biting his lip while they trembled the slightest while he closed his eyes. 

Sasuke watched from afar. "Snitches get stitches, dogs." He said to Kankuro and Temari, who stood behind him as the shadow from the trees and moonlight shined upon them. They were silent, their faces cold and unemotional. 

Gaara came out with Itachi, storming away to Temari's car.
