Aki: Aki is finally updating! And she is very thankful for your reviews! So you can have the disclaimer now!

Disclaimer: Akimi Kaede DOES NOT own Naruto. If she did Ino and TenTen would be dead and Sakura would be tortured ‘till she died!

Gaara: Yay!! I gots cookies! 3 cookies!!

--Hail Lord Sesshoumaru!! And Lord Illpalazzo too!!--

A flood of whispers greeted Gaara as he entered the wide hallways. Everyone was huddled in his or her little ‘clicks’ and were staring at him as if he had 4 arms. In the nearest group there was a bunch Barbie girl wannabes, who didn’t feel they didn’t to hide their opinions about him.

“He’s a FREAK!” A strawberry blonde laughed loudly to her blonde friend next to her.

The hallway erupted in laughter.

Gaara just stood there, looking at his feet, he was used to this kind of abuse, but unlike in Suna, he didn’t have the urge to fight back, not after what happened last night. He felt so weak…

“Hey you guys! Leave him alone! He hasn’t done anything to you!” Gaara looked up into the crowd to see a familiar blonde. That’s impossible, could it be him?

The hall quieted as another voice sounded, “Heh. It takes a freak to stick up for another freak. Dobe.”

Laughter filled the hallway once more and the blonde shouted again, “SHUT UP TEME! DON’T CALL ME DOBE!”

Yeah that was definitely Naruto.

“Break it up and get to class!” A man walked out of a classroom near by. He had a scar (A/N: is it a scar?) across his nose. The first thing that came to mind when Gaara saw him was dolphin.

“Yes Umino-sensei,” the crowd said in union as they all dispersed to their classes, except they familiar blonde.

“Panda-chan! It’s been so long!” Gaara was put into a giant a giant bear, well in this case, fox hug.

He couldn’t help but smile and hug back, “I agree foxy.”

A cough interrupted their touchy moment, and the ‘Umino-sensei’ began to speak “I hate to interrupt but by any chance are you Sabaku Gaara?”

“Yes! He is Iruka!”

“It’s Umino-sensei in public Naruto!” The man cleared his throat again and directed his attention to Gaara, “Eh-hem. Gaara, I will be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year.”

“What?! Panda-chan is in MY homeroom! This is going to be the best year EVER!” Naruto exploded.

“Okay Naruto, bring Gaara to the classroom and I will join you shortly, I have to get his schedule from the office.” Iruka then left them in the hallway.

“Come on Panda-chan! Let’s go!” Naruto continued to blab about everything that has changed and what not, but Gaara’s thoughts were somewhere else.

GAARA’S POV:

‘Maybe with Naruto here, I won’t feel so hopeless.’

--Hail Lord Sesshoumaru!! And Lord Illpalazzo too!!--

Aki: That’s the end of chapter 2!! I hoped it was okay. I think it was kinda bad though.

Jinx: It’s always bad! You wrote it!

Aki: SHUT UP! Or no SasuNaru for you!

Jinx: NOOOOOOOOOO!!

Aki: If I get three or more reviews, Neji will give Gaara a stuffed Panda in the next chapter!!

Gaara: Gaara likes stuffed pandas!!
