Chapter 4
No ones pov
The road back to Suna was relatively short.Gaara was carried by Naruto and Kankuro the entire way there .Throughout the journey Gaara felt at ease,his friend had come for him.It was a pleasant feeling,he decided.
Suna was beautiful as always with all of its villagers there to support and cheer for the kazakages safe return.
Before Gaara entered the village he insisted that lady chiyo would be the one to lead the way .She had sacrificed herself for Gaara and had ensured the villages safety .
{Gaaras POV}
Returning home was invigorating,years ago he would be welcomed with fearful stares and disgust,but today he was showered with cheers,the feeling was ...undescribable.I could feel warmth enveloping me and this feeling ...I think this is what it's liked to be loved by people,not feared by the the world .The fact that Naruto was here besides me made me feel even more at peace .A ghost of a smile was on Gaaras face,indicating that he felt even more elated on the inside.

{Narutos POV}
Naruto felt himself practically shivering in fear,Gaara invited him to his office after everyone has retired to their rooms,supposedly he wants to thank me for saving him but still...I can't help but want him to do more with me .We are so much alike even though he's no longer a jinchuriki we've both felt the pain of being one .No I couldn't think about that and he quickly drowned those thoughts in lighter ones
Gaara of the sand with his beautiful red hair and gravel voice .His body was so pale you would almost think he was fragile but he's one of the strongest people I know .I wonder what those pale lips are like on top of mine...his thoughts had slowly started to go in a
