The truth

chapter 3

The walk to the next campsite was longer than the previous day. It could be that they started earlier but they walked up until the sun started to set and due to the area, they were in walking around at night was dangerous due to the fact that there were a few rogue nins running around these parts and traveling at night could be dangerous.

The team's and their sensei had arrived at the second campsite, and they were all quick to set up their tents.

Sakura had complained the whole way, and they were very relieved when she had finally shut up. She sat down and rested her legs while Choji set up their tent.

Sasuke had set up their tent and Naruto was tasked with getting the inside of the tent ready. Naruto told Sasuke to go help their sensei's start the fire while he got the inside of the tent ready for the night.

The others where all seated around the fire. Sasuke sat in between Shikamaru and Choji. Sakura wanted to cling to him, and he didn't want that.

However, they were all immediately on high alert when they heard people coming closer. They stood up, Kunai's ready and expecting anything and everything. Sasuke angling himself in such a way that he could reach Naruto if fighting did start.

Out of the darkness they saw three approaching figures.

It wasn't long, before they stepped out of the darkness and into the light. They were friends not foe.

The sand siblings were stood in front of them. Each standing tall and proud.

"Oh, hello Gaara, Kankuru and Temari." Kakashi greeted with a smile. Or they think it was a smile, you never could tell with the mask and eye thing

"Hey. What exactly are you guys doing here?" Temari asked.

"We are on our way to Uzshiogakure. For some team building experience. Why are you here?" Kakashi said.

"We're also on our way to Uzshio. We are taking some much-needed vacation time. The ruins there are beautiful this time of year." Temari said.

"Well than how about we go to Uzshio together? It would most likely be a much more interesting trip than walking alone." Kurenai suggested to the group.

"I'm fine with it. How about you guys?" Kankuru asked his siblings.

"Well, it's better than looking at your ugly mug the whole time. So yeah." Temari said.

"Hey!" Kankuru whined out.

"Oh, calm down. Besides Gaara agrees with me. Right Gaara?" Temari asked as she turned to her little brother.

Gaara wasn't answering. His eyes were scanning the camp, he was looking for someone.

Shikamaru caught on and said, "Naruto is in the tent. He wanted to get his bed ready."

"Which tent is he in?" Gaara asked.

"The big black one. Naruto is in there." Shikamaru said as he pointed to the tent furthest from the fire.

Gaara nodded his head, gave his gourd to his brother and walked to the tent. They only had to hear Naruto's happy exclamation and a thud to know the two were happy to see each other again.

"Why does he want to see Naruto?" Sasuke asked with a scowl.

"Omega's usually want to be near their Omegan friend's. And with so many Alphas around its understandable." Temari said.

"Wait, you guys knew Naruto was an Omega?" Kiba asked.

"Of course we did. Gaara himself is an Omega so he can sense other Omega's." Temari said as she took a seat next to Shikamaru.

"If Gaara can sense other Omega's than why can't I?" Sakura asked. She wasn't able to sense that Naruto was an Omega, and this made her unable to keep him away from her Sasuke-Kun.

"Because Gaara isn't focused on getting dick the entire time." Kankuru said as he sat down next to Kiba.

"Excuse me!?" Sakura asked outraged.

"It's true and everyone knows it. So don't try to deny it." Ino said.

Sakura growled at Ino. Only to have Ino growl back at her, the pink haired Omega quickly stopped and bared her neck in submission.

"What exactly are they doing in there?" Sasuke asked. He didn't really like the fact that his Omega was in the tent with someone else, alone. Even if it was another Omega.

"Most likely nesting. Omega's usually do that when they are alone together." Temari said.

"What the fuck is nesting?" Sasuke asked. He hadn't learned about this in his Alpha study's.

"It's where Omega's usually make a nest for themselves. It is made from clothes of the Omega's closest friends and family. They want to cover themselves in the scent of their Alpha, family and friends. It's very rewarding for an Omega to carry their Alpha and loved one's scent." Temari said.

"Shikamaru did you ever nest with Naruto?" Sasuke asked.

Shikamaru leaned back a little and crossed his arms, "All the time. My mother and father did too. I'm not his Alpha, but I am his family. So nesting was something we did a lot."

Sasuke had a scowl on his face. Hating that Shikamaru shared such an intimate moment with Naruto.

He stood up and made his way over to the tent.

He found Naruto and Gaara facing each other holding hands.

They both looked at the raven.

"Sasuke come here." Naruto said as he sat up and held his hand out for the raven.

Sasuke took his hand, and Naruto guided him to where he wanted the raven to sit within the nest.

"What are you two doing in here?" He asked.

"Gaara wanted to talk to me about something important." Naruto said.

"What exactly is so important that you don't want others to hear?" Sasuke asked.

"Gaara wanted to know how I was doing and I also wanted to know how he was doing. We haven't exactly seen each other recently." Naruto said.

"Okay. Question why exactly in the tent?"

"Because we wanted to nest and it's cold outside." Naruto said.

Gaara nodded in agreement.

"Naru where exactly are you sleeping tonight?" Sasuke asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Well, I am getting the feeling that you are not going to sleep if Gaara is not here. So, are you going to sleep in his tent or is he going to sleep in ours's?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto turned to the raven on his knees and his eyes shining in happiness, "Can he sleep in our tent Sasuke?"

"Of course. As long as he agrees?" Sasuke said.

Gaara quickly latched onto Naruto and vigorously nodded his head.

They quickly got the redheads bags and were called shortly after to get some dinner.

They changed into their pj's and went to bed.

Naruto and Gaara curled up together and Sasuke had his arms around Naruto's waist. Gaara wasn't his Omega, so he wasn't going to accidentally put his scent on the red head.

That could throw off any Alpha's who wanted to approach him with the possibility of mating.

Gaara, might not have had the embrace of an Alpha, but he slept better than previous night's.

Just because his friend was there.
