Love of my life ~Gaara~ Chapter 1

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!! It's my day off!!!!!!! Time to relax and maybe play a little soccer with the guys. If I could find them. I know exactly where i'll find Shikamaru. Watching the clouds in the feild. I know if I find Naruto either Sakura or Hinata or both will be with him. Sasuke, Neji, and Shino are kinda loners. Wait! Bingo! The ramen stand! No way would Naruto take a day off and not go for a bowl of ramen!

I ran down the road toward the ramen stand, stopping once to admire myself in a shop window. I was wearing a loose fitting black tank-top and dark blue denim shorts. My shortish dark blond hair was pulled back, as always, with a creepy Jack-O-Lantern clip, and covered with my black 'get-r-done' hat. My white sneckers were covered with dirt and totally grass stained, but I like it like that.

Anyway, back to looking for the nuckle head of a best friend of mine. Shocker, I was right. He slerping down maybe his fith bowl, Hinata next to him, still working on her first bowl. I love that girl. And thats saying a lot, considering I hate most girls. Yes, I know I'm a girl myself, but most girls are just so annoying. Always talking about boy's and clothes.

I quietly snuck up behind Naruto, putting a finer over my lips when Hinata saw me. I reached out and started tickling Naruto's sides. He fell off the bar stole laughing as I continued.

"God-Hahaha- Can't a guy-Haahaahaa-Eat a bowl-haahahaa-of ramen in-Haahaaha-Peace!" He said around laughes.

"Well yeah, but what fun would that be?" I asked putting my foot on his chest to show I had won.

"Steffie, you are one weird girl." Naruto tried to get up. I let him up so he could go back to his ramen.

"Why thank you. It's a talent I guess." I sat down next to Hinata and ordered myself a bowl of beef flavor ramen.

"What are your plans for today Steffie?" Hinata asked shyly.

"I'm gonna round up some of the guys, have a soccer game, and relax with a case of cherry pepsi next to me."

Naruto, Hinata, and even the cook and his wife rolled their eyes and said "Of course."

I stuck my toung out at them and chowed down on my ramen.

As soon as Naruto was done with his...I lost count at seven....I said good bye to Hinata and dragged him off to go find more people for soccer.

We found Kiba and little Akamaru in the park, Neji hanging out with TenTen at the training grounds, Lee working out randomly in a feild, Sasuke sitting on a dock, and I was even able to get Shikamaru up.

With them together we made teams. It was Me, Naruto, and Kiba on one team and Sasuke, Lee, and Shikamaru on the other. It was pretty fair game. The guys were on the feild while I played goalie. Deffinatly my calling in life. I can block any which way, cauch, but sometimes they just get it right to that point that you can't do crud diddly to prevent a goal. Sakura and Ino stood to the side cheering for Sasuke the ENTIRE time. Hinata and TenTen sat on the ground watching happily and Quietly.

The game ended six to eight, meaning my team won.

Now I was speaking the truth earlier. The very next thing I did was go bay a six pack od cherry pepsi, sit down under a tree, press play on my i-Pod, and relax. I need to get a shirt that says life is good for days like this. I mean, the sun is shining, no one's bothering me, I don't need to be home until five, and my sensie is nowhere to be found. I hope he's not being a dumb ass again.

I had just finished my forth soda when Naruto came flying by me with the annoying kids next to him. What the hell? Then Sakura came charging after them. Oh, ok. I better go save his ass AGAIN.

Damn I really don't wanna get up. I stuck my last two sodas in my shorts pockets. By the time I found them, poor Konohamaru was being picked on by this weirdly dressed dude. He was wearing a looseish black jumpsuit that had a yellow and red circule thingy on it, a hat that had corners that stuck up making it look like he had kitty ears, and redish purple markings on his face. Cool.

I calmmly walked up to them, putting a peice of gum in my mouth.

"Hey guys. Whatcha doin?" I asked.

"Oh Steffie! Good! This guy is trying to hurt Konohamaru!" Naruto screamed.

I turnned to look at the guy. "Why?" was all I said. He gave me a weird look. I gave him one right back. He put the kid down and came up to me now, glarring down at me. I blew a bubble in his face. Now he thought it would scare me if he picked me up by the front of my tank-top. Keep dreaming buddy. I raised my eye brow at him and blew another bubble.

I think he was about to hit me but then a rock came out of nowheresville and hit his hand, making him drop me. I hit the gound with an Umff and looked up into a tree to see Sasuke.

"Hey man, that hurt! What the fuck?!" I yelled up jokingly to him.

"Shut up, Stephanie." He's one of the few people I let get away with calling me that. I humffed and looked at Sakura who was all squishy happy flowery now that Sasuke was here. We get it, you think he's hott. Tone it down.

"Now why would you be picking on a little kid and a girl? That just doesn't even make sence to me. If you want to fight, come fight me." Sasuke said smuggly.

"I hate stuck up little brats you know that?" The dude said lowly.

I sorta tuned out for awhile. It was just talk man, there not gonna actually do it. Now if it was me in that situation I would actually do something other than just stand there and talk. Blah blah blah blah. Bordum. I got snapped back into reality when another dude came into the picture. Hello! This dude looked like Fuuun. He was hanging upside down on a tree branch and all that good shit and glarring at the dude in black.

"Your a disgrace to our village. Leave. Or I will kill you." So the dude and chik with him, I guess totally scared shitless by this guy, left. I stuck my tounge out at them. Then Sasuke and him started talking. Really? Why always Sasuke? Steffie's cool too God Damn it! I really need to stop spacing out so much because when I looked up next the new dude wasn't on the tree branch anymore. He was in front of me.

"Did you not hear me?" He asked with a really scary, not really, voice.

"Huh? What?" I didn't even know he had been talking to me!

"I asked for your name."

"Oh. Sorry I space out easily. I'm Stephanie Gyno. Call me Steffie." I said cooly.

He glarred down at me.

"And...you are?" I asked like a total teenager.

"Gaara of the desert." His glare worsened.

"Awsome." I blew another bubble.

"Your annoying."

"Yeah, I get that a lot."

He started to walk away. "Later." I called out to him. He didn't do anything. Weird dude. Yay, i'm not alone in the world!
