3rd Person POV:

Sakura, Ino, Sai and Kiba met at a cafe before school as usual. Sakura explained to Kiba her plan to which Kiba agreed.

"That's sounds like fun. I have just two conditions...One make sure not to kill him...I still need him for my final move...and second don't get too involved. You're already being suspected so act with caution. Ino you'll help Sakura and you could finally use some of your "subordinates"" Kiba said smirking. Ino looked insecure and didn't really like the idea, but she didn't have the guts to say anything. Sai on the other hand didn't seem to give away any emotions. Sakura just smiled content.

Meanwhile Sasuke and Naruto were enjoying the peace and quite. Welp not quite..Naruto was worried... he didn't like how quiet and low profiled Kiba has been lately and Naruto being Naruto of course thinks that since something good happened in his life, something bad must be coming his way.

As soon as school was over the two rushed to the hospital to visit Gaara. The second they entered the hospital room Naruto hugged Gaara.

"Please never do something like this ever again. I was so worried..." he scolded with tears in his eyes. Gaara was both shocked and ashamed.

"This usturatonkachi is right. Don't take permanent solutions for temporary problems..." Sasuke spoke up

"I am sorry...I just...I was in so much pain and just ... I didn't feel like being part of this shit anymore...I didn't think that anyone would care..."

"We do. We care. We are so glad that you are okay, just please talk to us, let us help you, don't keep it all inside. You are not alone."

The little cute emotional reunion was suddenly interrupted by someone. Everyone looked shocked at first, but then Sasuke and Naruto put themselves in front of Gaara's bed in a protecting manner. Gaara was the most confused and surprised one...

"What are you doing here?" Naruto demanded

"I know I don't really deserve it, but I want to talk to Gaara." Naruto and Sasuke exchanged looks.

"It's okay guys. You can chill. Could you give us a moment?"

"If you hurt him in any way I'll make u regret it." Naruto threatened before leaving which was very out of his character. Sasuke gave him a that's-my-boy look.
The two of them went to the cafeteria to drink something.

Kankuro POV:

I couldn't close an eye the whole night. I was so confused and all this kinda thoughts flew through my mind and there was so much information to process...I just...started to realize what kinda person I am...a horrible one. I never thought that what we do could hurt someone so much, I mean we were just having a little fun, weren't we? What if I made many people's life so miserable to the point that they wanted to kill themselves? What if someone actually killed themselves because of me? I had so many mixed emotions, but in the end I got to a conclusion.

I didn't go to school today, I spend a couple of hours at Neji's house thinking about what to say to Gaara...after a long time of debating I finally got the courage to go. As soon as I got there my hands started sweating and I was very nervous. I saw the Uchiha and the blonde kid walking inside and that's when I realized that they are friends. I recalled everything we did to that kid. Guilt started taking over, especially because he is supposed to be my brother's friend...

Eventually I built up the courage to go in. After they left an awkward silence took over the room.

"Look I am just gonna be straightforward I know that this is really weird and sudden...but I am sorry, I really am so sorry for everything ...being a jerk, a shitty brother, awful person etc. I really regret it. I swear it's no game. I just... I am really glad that you are okay and alive and if you'll let me I'll try to be a better brother. I left home...because I found out what father did to you. I also forbid him from seeing you until he gets his alcohol problem checked. He seems to feel bad tbh. I'll get an apartment for myself and if you'd like you could live with me....?" I said everything so fast and forgot to breath. I looked over at him and he seemed really shocked and confused, but his eyes...how did I not notice it so far? He is just broken...I quickly looked ashamed at the floor. No answer...

"I know that it is sudden and that you hate me and wish me dead and you have all right to not want to see me ever again. And also if you need time to think you don't have to give me an answer now I mean-"

"Breath Kanguro..." He finally spoke up with a raspy voice. I stopped talking and realized that I forgot to breath again.

"It's not like I need time...I was just really confused. I don't hate you Kanguro...I've never hated any of you...you were the only ones who hated me. It's okay...I don't hold anything against you...if you really mean what you said then I would like to live with you and start over..."

I was absolutely shocked...I didn't expect any of it so when I heard that I just suddenly hugged him. As soon as I realized what I was doing I pulled away.

"I am sorry I didn't mean to invade your personal space, I'm just really glad to hear that..."

"That's okay."

"I really will try my best..I'm here for you so if you need anything just let me know. Please just don't try to kill yourself again...no matter what. I swear I won't let father hurt you ever again."

Even tho it was a really weak smile...Gaara smiled at me and nodded.

"I um...I won't bother you anymore...if it's okay for you I'll visit tomorrow again. Oh and also here you go...your phone was broken so I just bought a new one...the number is the same tho. Call me if you need anything..."

He took the phone hesitantly then thanked me. I smiled at him one more time before exiting the room. I breathed out relieved. Outside the room were the two other boys waiting.

"Thank you for being there for my brother, Naruto. I will try to be a better brother, too. I really wanna change so I'm sorry for everything I did to you so far...even though it was supposed to be just a joke it wasn't funny and it was wrong. "

After saying that I just left. Now, I have to find an apartment....
