Your father and you finally settle down in Hidden Sand due to you wanting to become a shinobi like your mother that you've never met. You meet a red-haired boy named Gaara on your first day at The Sand Village and quickly become best friends. Your father and you, were the only ones in the village that accepted Gaara. Though, as soon as you and Gaara become best friends, things drastically change and you end up living in the Leaf Village. Gaara believes that you left him because he was a monster, and that turned him even more bitter than before. A/N: Please enjoy this rewrite, I hope my writing style has improved a bunch. And, I'm really sorry for discontinuing the second book of the first book and not mentioning that this would happen? Though I'm not asking for forgiveness because it is what it is and sometimes in life, you just have to suck it up. Also, I'm not going to promise that I'll update this story daily because I don't like to break promises. I just thought I should say that now since I've never really told you guys. I'm also keeping the first two books (the second one was discontinued for those who are new) so that you guys can compare if you want. A lot of things might be really different- scratch the might, they most likely will. Oh wells, it is what it is. **The photo used in my cover can be found on google search.

"G-God damn it! Why? Why (y/n)?" "I...I did it because.. I love you." . . . You and Neji weren't always on great terms. Neji disliked you with all his heart while you loved him with all your heart. However; there was a time when the tables turned and you begin to dislike Neji just as much as he used to dislike you. Although, that was also the time when Neji fell in love with you, thus the statement, "when the tables turned." Eventually, after many ups and downs, you and Neji finally get on the same page, but what happens when catastrophe strikes and rips the page, leaving you on one side while Neji is on the other? . . . **I DO NOT own any character from the Naruto Universe and all rights go to the creators of Naruto/ Naruto Shippuden.

A new day, a new month, a new year. This is the continuation of the first Gaara x Reader I have! Enjoy! Edit: This is now discontinued because I dislike how it's all a random blob. Some things don't add up, or I have spelling/ grammar mistakes. I'll leave up both stories, but once I make another x Reader of Gaara, it'll be the same but with a few adjustments. Sorry and please forgive my decision. **Any character or plot from the Naruto Universe is not mine. I only claim OCs.

You befriended a so called 'monster' and because of that, all your friends left you thinking you were possessed or something. You always showed up at his doorsteps asking if he could come out and play. Then one day, you and your father were ambushed on a bridge while getting goods. You jumped off the bridge so you could survive, for Gaara. The Sand Village then notices that you and your father are gone. Not even Gaara knew what happened to you, he thought that you left him behind like all the kids do, because of what he is and what's inside of him, a monster. Then The Sand Village gave up on looking for you and your father. Soon hatred boils up within Gaara as the years grow by and when you see each other again, Gaara's more different than he was as a kid. . . . **Any character or plot from the Naruto Universe is not mine.

Neji Hyuga your love, died to save Naruto and Hinata, both your close friends. You still have so much guilt on your shoulders, because, you weren't fast enough, fast enough to get in the way of Neji and Death. It's been 11 years since his death and now your married to a man named Kiba, the one who was there for you when Neji died. You have two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. You love Kiba just as much as Neji, but you still wish to be with Neji and think about the good old times, before you lost him.

You're a new Jōnin from the Sand Village and you were instructed to go to the Leaf Village to be their new Jōnin. Your escort, Shikamaru Nara, was a really nice guy. He may be lazy but he's laid back and cool, and funny at times. You both gain feelings for each other.
