Gaara never had a simple life. Never had loving parents like other children would. He had two siblings, Temari and Kankuro, who were just as traumatized as Gaara. Their mother died when Gaara was born. As a result, their father wasn't very loving. He relied on drinking, abuse, and gambling as his life source. When Gaara was 7, his father made the biggest gamble of his small life... but what would that be? Rock Lee never really had a simple life either. His parents died by a car accident when he was only 5 years old. A close friend of his parents, Guy, took Lee in and raised him like a son. Gaara, Temari and Kankuro moved to Konoha when he was 15 to start a new life. His sophomore year of high school was about to begin in a new school with new people. He just thought he was going to be lonely just like at Suna until someone approached him and spoke to him. . . Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. I also don't own the cover for the story (credit goes to the artist!). This story also contains yoai so if you don't like it, don't read. Hope you enjoy!
