'Good thing we saw Gaara's boss.' Temari sighed and thank the heavens.

A fourth figure came to the room as well. Gaara's boss from the Uchiha Company. Her youngest brother helped sobbing blond from the corner.

Hesitantly Gaara called out to his cousin and like approaching a scared wild animal, he  held out his hands to the blond. He gritted his teeth in frustration. If it wasn't for his boss, they would've never got to help Naruto and find him like this.

Gaara was walking towards his workplace, the Uchiha Corps. He had been feeling weird the whole morning, and the current rainstorm wasn't helping. His brother Kankuro walked next to him, his destination being the smaller building next to Gaara's workplace. He was a tattoo artist, and there was a  tattoo parlor next to the Uchiha corps. 

Temari, his sister had drove the two, since Gaara didn't bother to buy a car, not feeling it necessary while living in a city with many taxes, while Kankuro just sucked at getting his driver's license so they both had to rely either on taxes or in this case, their reliable sister driving them.

"Well isn't a nice weather today, dear brother." Kankuro snickered as he saw Gaara getting wet from a car splashing water on to him. Gaara just glared at him.

"What do you mean you can't find out where he lives ?! I hired you, and you promised me results, and I need them right now !" Gaara heard an angry voice yelling. "He didn't answer to my calls and they went straight to voice mail, you idiot !" Kankuro raised and eyebrow and Gaara sighed. He recognized the voice as his boss', Uchiha Sasuke.

"I need his location Zetsu ! You're supposed to be the best ! Whatever, I'm never hiring you again !" Gaara and Kankuro saw the raven growling at the now silent phone in his hands.

"The weather affecting your mood too ?" Kankuro snickered but decided to stay silent as the angry raven glared at him.

"Everything alright, Uchiha-san ?" Gaara asked ignoring the glare, he was already used to it. Sasuke glanced at him and sighed while shaking his head in negative.

"I need to make sure someone is safe, but he haven't answered my calls and I don't know where he lives." He bit out.

"What makes you think this person is in any trouble ?" Kankuro decided to but in to the conversation.

"I gave him my number yesterday, if he needed help or anything else.." Sasuke sighed. "And I think he had called me, but I was in the shower so I didn't notice it 'till at morning, and when I tried to call him back, it went to voice mail. I don't know for sure it was him, but don't you think they would've answered when I called back, like a thousand times for God's sake ! " He took a breath. "I know it was him, I just feel it.." Sasuke ranted and Gaara raised an unseen eyebrow. Well actually, they're just delicate.

"His name ? Maybe my sister could help, she's a lawyer and she knows almost everyone in this city." Gaara informed.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

Once the name was uttered from the usually toneless and emotionless pale faced male, the brother's eyes widened and their shoulder's stiffened.

So this was the reason he had felt sick all day, Gaara noted as he called his sister and the trio were on their way towards the Uchiha's expensive mustang.

'Hold on, Naruto.' Gaara thought while giving directions to the Uchiha driving. Not by the limits, mind you.

"Naruto..." Said a hesitating voice by the door and Kankuro had to hold the fourth comer from entering the room.

"Sabaku, move out of the way, let me see him." The fourth hissed, making Kankuro shake his head.

"Don't come in yet, he's probably going in to a shock. Gaara can handle it. Just call an ambulance Uchiha, and do it quickly." The now identified Uchiha growled under his breath and dug his phone from the pocket of his tailored pants. He dialed the emergency number and backed away few steps, not to bother the four in the bathroom. He clicked his tongue in agitation as a elderly woman's voice answered.

Meanwhile the Sabaku siblings took the full state of their cousin's condition and Temari felt his face grow hotter with anger. She took her phone and ordered herself not to cry in front of her siblings as she took pictures for evidence. Everything had to be pictured, even her cousin, who looked about to pass out from pain and crying.

"Naruto, look at me." Gaara ordered with a soft tone, and felt his cold demeanor shattering and feeling his eyes stinging as he saw the blond's purple and red face as Naruto turned to look at the read head.

"Good, an ambulance is coming right away, so just don't move too much. We don't know the extent of your injuries." Gaara explained but the blond didn't calm his breathing, only quickening it at the thought of some strangers coming in to his house and seeing him like this. Gaara saw blue dilated eyes looking at him and his green eyes widened.

"Kankuro, he's going in to a shock, bring a blanket." Gaara ordered. "Quickly !"

"Shhh.. Naruto, keep your eyes on me." The blond did as he was told, but his vision was begin to blur and his eyelids felt heavy. Gaara noticed that the blond's skin was pale and cold, clammy with sweat, it could be seen clearly, with Naruto only wearing over sized shorts and nothing more.

"Take deep breaths, you're going to be safe, we'll look after you, I promise to keep you safe from now on." Gaara assured. He couldn't move the blond too much, but laid Naruto down to the cold tile floor and elevating his legs and feet, slightly. Naruto didn't seem to having nausea, but he was shivering.

Kankuro finally came back with a huge red blanket, and once the blond felt warmer, he calmed slightly, and his skin began to lose it's paleness, and Gaara cringed as Naruto winced away slightly from their touch.

"The medics are here." Sasuke's voice rang from the downstairs and Gaara felt relieved, but it went back to worry as the blond choked out a sob as he tried to stay awake.

The siblings along with the Uchiha watched with hard eyes as the blond was being carried on the ambulance stretcher.

"That bastard will have hell to pay for." Temari gritted.

'Worse than hell.' Sasuke thought.
