Sorry it took me so long to write this. I was going to wait until I was done with my Ita/Sas story, but I started having dreams about this one and the ideas won't leave me alone. They're buzzing in my head. In this story it's mostly about pay back. If you all remember from the last one, Gaara killed Itachi and Orochimaru found out, but they are no longer in high school. They are in college and they won't have jobs this chapter until I fine one perfect for each person. I'm also going to add new people.

Chapter 1
Feel The Difference

It had been two years since Itachi was killed. Everyone kept their promises and never said a word about what Gaara had done to him. They were all just thankful that he was gone. Now Neji and Gaara's relationship was better that Itachi was dead. All Gaara's friends went off to college and they all had jobs. Two years had given everyone time to recover and pick themselves back up again.

Gaara was actually thrilled about wanting to go to college. His brother and sister were going and he didn't want to be alone. So he asked Neji about his school and Gaara's uncle paid his tuition.

They were all heading to the campus in Neji's car that day. Since Neji was taking Gaara, he decided to take everyone else he could fit in his car. When they got there they went inside the admissions office to get their room numbers.

When the woman behind the desk gave them the papers, Gaara and Neji found out they shared a room.

"Hey, what rooms did you guys get so me and Sasuke can come visit when we get bored?" Asked Naruto.

"Gaara and I have room 108." Neji answered for both him and Gaara. The redhead hadn't been doing much talking since the accident. It was bothering Neji but he didn't press the matter.

"I'm in 106." Haku said slowly, still reading through his papers. He was a little upset since he would be rooming with someone he didn't actually know yet.

"We have room 110." Sasuke shrugged like he didn't particularly care about the conversation.

"Well at least we're near each other." Naruto hyped as he smiled at their luck. They all could tell that Haku was upset since he wasn't able to share a room with any of them. Zabuza was attending a different university and Haku couldn't go since Zabuza was only there by luck and a scholarship.

"Haku, don't worry about it." Said Gaara quietly. He didn't really know what else to say to the boy. Not that he was even thinking of saying anything more in the first place.

"I know. I shouldn't let things like this bugs me. I mean yeah it'll be weird sharing a room with a new guy, but I can get use to it. At least I won't be rooming with any of 'his' friends." He knew better than to say Itachi's name when he was around Gaara. Haku tried to play it off but he was still a little bummed about being the only one without a roommate he knew.

"We better get to our rooms and start unpacking. I don't know about any of you but neither Gaara nor I signed up for classes today." Neji grabbed Gaara's hand and they all started walking up to housing part of campus.

Haku went into his room first. Gaara and Neji stayed with him for awhile while Sasuke and Naruto went to their room to unpack everything. When Haku opened the door his roommate wasn't there.

"Well at least he's not here right now. I think I'll be okay guys. I mean sooner or later I will have to face him alone anyway." Haku threw his backpack in the room and onto his bed.

"Okay then, if you need us we're only two rooms away from you." Neji and Gaara both walked out of the room and headed to theirs. Haku sighed as he closed the door and fell back on his bed. Maybe this was all a mistake.

When Neji and Gaara got in the room there were two beds and they each had their own space. Gaara took out his laptop and put it on the desk.

"Gaara, you shouldn't be so quiet." Neji looked towards Gaara. "I mean it. You look like someone that hasn't been out for a while."

"Sorry Neji. I just can't stop thinking of all the things I went through. It's hard and the pills aren't helping that much." Gaara looked down at the floor. "I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. I'm kind of worry about Haku too." Gaara glanced at Neji. "Why is my life fucked up? I mean like what happened to me two years ago? I killed two people…." He mumbled more to himself than to Neji. He looked around franticly as if the incident was reoccurring.

Neji threw himself forward and wrapped his arms around him. "Gaara it's okay. I'm here. You'll be okay so calm down. I promised your brother and sister that I would watch over you. Here just lay down on the bed." Neji led Gaara over to the bed and laid him down on it. "You need to calm down Gaara. I won't let anyone find out about your past." Neji kissed his forehead and began playing gingerly in his hair.

"I just have a feeling that I'll see them again. I mean I did kill Orochimaru's boyfriend and you know he'll come—". Neji cut Gaara off by a kiss.

"It's okay. You will be fine. I told you that we're going to stay together. Nothing will happen, Gaara." Gaara nodded slowly, but it wasn't possible to identify it as a sleepy nod or a nod to show that he understood. He laid his heavy head down on a nearby pillow. Neji stared at him, stirring, he knew something wasn't right. He looked around but he couldn't bare telling Gaara since he was already bothered.

They both laid there until Gaara's eyelids fell. Then Neji got up quietly and walked out the door. He then pulled it shut and locked it knowing that Gaara would still be asleep when he got back. He walked down the hall and knocked on Sasuke and Naruto's room door. Naruto appeared in moments scratching his head and staring back at Neji curiously.

"Where's Gaara and Haku?" The blonde questioned groggily.

"Gaara is in our room sleeping and Haku, I think, is still unpacking his things. Oh, and Gaara was flipping out again. Itachi really fucked him up. I mean look at all the things that happened to Gaara when he was with Itachi or Orochimaru or the others. I would pursue the…..too bad I don't even know where they all moved off. I just know they followed Orochimaru." Neji looked at his two friends (Sasuke had crept up behind Naruto). "Gaara told me that he had a feel that they were around this college or even in school system. Just look around for them." Neji informed cautiously.

"Don't worry Neji. I'll watch for conspicuous people. You should get back to your room soon. You know leaving Gaara in a room by himself will never have a good result." Warned Naruto.

"Gaara won't do anything you loser. He'll be fine by himself as long as he's asleep." Sasuke assured, looking cautiously at Neji.

"I know. I was only joking Neji calm down. Don't look at me like that." Laughed the blonde.

"It not right to joke like that. Anyway, I have a bad feeling about this school too, but my worry is Haku. Remember Zabuza doesn't go to this school. So if Haku gets hurt or hit on or anything Zabuza's not here to help him, which leaves us. I know Gaara would help him, but he isn't himself right now. He starting to get jumpy and is freaking out a lot more now." Neji paused and looked down at the ground. "I'm worried about him. And Kankurou and Temari aren't here to help me with him. It's just bothering me about him. I know he has his pills and all that, but I'm afraid he will do something really bad. That's why I gave you that look, Naruto." Neji looked up at them.

"Okay. I'm sorry Neji." Naruto paused. "I feel bad that I can't help him. You know more about him Neji. Even if I would help Gaara, he probably wouldn't listen to me. He doesn't trust me like he does you and Haku, but I'll try to help as much as I can." Naruto looked at Sasuke.

"Thanks for your help. I might call Kankurou and Temari later tonight. We don't have classes until Friday maybe I'll ask them to come up. Temari is a doctor and she and Kankurou always took care of Gaara after his father use to beat him." Neji started walking out of the doorway, but stopped before he went out. "I'm going to check on Haku and see how he's doing. Maybe I'll come back later with Gaara." Neji walked out and headed down the hallway to Haku's room.

Neji knocked on the door and waited for it to open. Haku came to the door and let Neji in. After he shut the door, he turned to Neji.

"I've been looking around this room and at all the stuff. The person I'm sharing a room with seems a little scary to me. He must be into the shit that Itachi was into. You know the bondage and that kind of thing." Haku stated, looking a bit pale.

"Don't worry, it's not like it's one of his friends. If it is, then just come in the room with me and Gaara. He's got a bad feeling about this school and its starting to freak him out, but I got him to sleep. I can help you unpack and then you can help me with my stuff while I unpack Gaara's." Neji suggested.

"Yeah, I'll help you." Haku showed Neji where to put everything and they started unpacking the bags.

Orochimaru was hanging out with his friends until he spotted a familiar car. He stopped chatting and looked closer. Kimimaro was the first to notice his boyfriend's departure from the conversation.

"What's wrong Orochimaru?" Kimimaro looked over where Orochimaru was staring at and saw the car. "Is that Neji's car?" Kimimaro asked looking at Orochimaru.

"I think it is, but I'm not sure. If it is him, he should have came to this school as soon as he left high school, unless he wanted to wait for Gaara and the others to get in. I'm going to go check this car out. If it's Neji then I know Gaara's with him." Orochimaru started to walk over to the car with his the group of friends in his wake.

When they got to the car, Orochimaru looked inside the car and saw Gaara's CD player. He saw the redhead with it everyday in school and when Itachi kidnapped him it had been in his bag. They looked through the car and he saw the device, but he also saw stuff that Neji and Gaara didn't own and wasn't their style. Haku was one of the people that came with them and if he was right, Sasuke and Naruto were going to this school too. He'd been waiting two years to face Gaara again. He wanted to see the one who took Itachi away from him. He also wanted to get back at the people who helped Gaara keep it from everyone else.

"Neji and his friends are here. I know it's them. I wonder where they could be?" He growled. "Listen to me, if any of you guys find them, come let me know. I've been waiting to hurt Gaara and all his little friends for what they did to Itachi. They helped Gaara keep it from the cops." Orochimaru took a deep breath before talking again. "I'll get them all back for what they did to Itachi. We'll take them out one by one and I'll make sure Gaara suffers more then the others. I need everyone's help with this because they think Itachi was bad, but they'll hate me when I'm through." Orochimaru walked away and headed to his next class.

The others watched as Orochimaru walked away. They knew that he would do whatever it took to make Gaara feel the way he did now. Even if it meant killing the people he cared about.

"They better hope they aren't near him. They won't live if Orochimaru finds them." Sasori looked at Deidara noticing his sudden silence. "What's wrong, Deidara?" Sasori frowned.

"Who are these kids he keeps talking about? I mean what did they do, yeah?" He asked dangerously.

"Two years ago. We were all after this kid name Gaara. We did some serious damage to his mind and almost killed him. That's when Itachi was still alive, but Orochimaru doesn't understand that Itachi pushed Gaara too far and Gaara pushed him off of the mall's roof. Itachi fell to his death and every since then Orochimaru has been awaiting the day where he could make Gaara feel a pain equivalent, or greater, than his own." Explained Kimimaro.

"But why doesn't he just do it himself. I mean it's his business. Why should he drag us in?"

"Because, if we don't help Orochimaru. We'll end up getting hurt and who knows what will happen to us. We'll probably be in the same shoes as Gaara and his friends." Sasori concluded vacantly.

They were all quiet now. They were hoping that Orochimaru wouldn't find Gaara. They knew if he did that life was going to be a living hell and everyone knew that Gaara had two sides to him. The scared little kid that wouldn't stand up for himself and then a side that Itachi and Gaara's father met…and even Neji. Sasori never told anyone, but he was there on the roof when Itachi was killed. He was trying to rape Gaara and Gaara started to fight back and was saying things that scared him. It was Itachi's own fault that he was killed that day. If he'd left Gaara alone and had never bothered him then, Itachi would still be alive.

'Why don't you just let up on the kid Orochimaru. You'll end up like Itachi if you go after him or his friends. He isn't the weak kid we knew. He is stronger and really different now. I was there when Itachi died. He tried to rape Gaara and Gaara fought back to protect himself. I would have done the same thing if that was the only way to get rid of Itachi.'' Sasori was so stuck in his thoughts that he didn't know that everyone left, but Deidara.

"What's wrong Sasori? You look like you're troubled about something." Deidara looked at Sasori hard and tried to read what was wrong with him, but couldn't tell.

"I was there when our friend Itachi was pushed. I just never told anyone because I knew I would be in trouble because I didn't do anything to save him. See, Itachi let us get away with lots of stuff, but Orochimaru won't. I'm worried that if I tell him, he'll kill me because I didn't do anything to stop Gaara and—"He was cut off by a fierce kiss.

"Don't worry. I'll help with whatever we have to do for him. I know what its like to lose a friend and I want to have fun with this Gaara kid." Deidara smiled at Sasori and he smiled back unsure of his emotion at that point. They then started off to class.

Gaara found himself lying in bed when he woke up. He didn't want to move, but knew that Neji and one of his friends were in the room. He rolled over on his other side and cracked one eye open to see what they were doing. He didn't want to do any work so he acted like he was sleep while he watched Haku unpack Neji's things, and Neji unpacking his stuff. The fake sleeping was working until Neji felt someone watching him.

"You know that I know when you're faking. We've been together for three years now." Neji turned around as Gaara sat up and smiled.

"I know. I just didn't want to unpack my things. I'm getting online to see who's on. I miss talking to my brother and sister." Gaara walked over to his laptop and signed online. He saw that his brother and sister were on. So he signed in to the chat room so that he could talk to them.

(Chat room)

Theonlyone: Hey guys. I'm glad to see that you two are on.

Wind-goddess: Yeah, it's different around here since you're not here. Kankurou is freaky sometimes and wants you to come back.

Kany6: Shut up Temari! You know I can read this too since it's a chat room only for us three to talk. Anyways, how are you Gaara? How do you like your new school?

Theonlyone: It's okay I guess. I'm having a bad feeling about the place. I'm just glad to have a room with Neji and two rooms down from us is Haku's room and then Sasuke and Naruto's room is down the hall.

Wind-goddess: So you are all together. That's what I was hopping for. I didn't want you to get stuck with another person since you do have that other side of you.

Kany6: So when do you start classes?

Theonlyone: On Friday. We are unpacking our stuff...well Neji is unpacking mine and Haku is unpacking his.

Kany6: That sucks. I had to start class the first day I got there. And I still have two years to go, while Temari is done with school at the end of this year.

Theonlyone: Well I still got four years to go and know for a fact that Haku and I will probably get hit on by most by girls and guys. I hope not, but you can never tell those things.

Wind-goddess: Well at least you have Neji there to protect you. Oh and did you know that Kankurou has a boyfriend now Gaara?

Kany6: SHUT UP TEMARI!

Theonlyone: No I didn't know. Who is it?

Wind-goddess: That Sakon kid. He goes to your school. He hangs out with Tayuya.

Theonlyone: Well I know he was apart of Itachi's group and so was Tayuya, but they told Itachi that they didn't want anything to do with the stuff they did to me and the other people.

Wind-goddess: That's why you didn't want me telling him?!? You better not come home Kankurou because I'll beat the shit out of you.

Kany6: Well I told you not to tell him….

Theonlyone: I don't care. As long as I have Neji, I'm fine. Well I've got to go. We are going to Naruto and Sasuke's room. Talk to you guys later. Bye.

(End of chat room)

He waited for a bye from both of them and signed out. He closed his laptop and put it under his pillow like he always did.

They walked down to the other two rooms and walked in. Naruto was sitting on the bed as Sasuke was still unpacking his stuff. Gaara and Haku sat on the bed with Naruto as Neji walked over to Sasuke who was having a problem with one of his bags.

"So how is your new room Haku?" Asked Sasuke casually.

"It's okay, but the guy who shares it with me seems weird. It's really dark over on his side of the room and it looks like a place where a lot of people end up. The other thing that scares me about him is that he has chains and handcuffs on his bed. It's so weird. Why do I get stuck with the weird people?" Haku looked down.

"Don't worry. You can come to my room anytime even if we aren't there." Offered Neji.

"Okay Neji." Haku looked over to Gaara who was looking at the floor absently. Gaara looked up after everyone was done talking about Haku's roommate. He saw that Sasuke was finally done unpacking. He stood up and walked to where Neji was, then turned around and asked,

"Since we're done unpacking can we go somewhere else? I'm bored and don't want to be inside all day. It's driving me insane." Gaara asked quietly.

Everyone agreed and walked out of the room not forgetting their keys. They all got in Neji's car and drove to the nearest mall. But unbeknownst to them, were watchful eyes.

"So they are all here in this school. Gaara looks more fuckable now then he did back then. But I see that he and Neji are still together. Once again it will be hard to get close to him unless he's in one of my classes." Orochimaru looked at his friends and smiled. "So this year is going to be fun, but it's not going to be fun for those five." He grinned deviously.

"So what's the plan?" Asked Kimimaro.

"We will have to talk about it later, but what I've got in mind so far is for us all to go after one person and then we all go after little Gaara. We won't hurt the others just keep them away from Gaara is all. I know that Sasori and Deidara are in same class as him and I'm in one too." Confessed the determined bully.

It was really late when they all got back to Sasuke and Naruto's room. Gaara, Neji and Haku stayed a little to talk, but then walked out since Naruto and Sasuke were going to bed. Neji opened the door for he and Gaara's room and Gaara was the first to walk in and lay on the bed. Haku followed, not t all eager to re-enter his room.

"If you're that afraid to be in that room, why don't you ask for a new one?" Neji asked as he was trying to get Gaara to take the pills before he fell to sleep.

"If I did that then they would probably move me to another hall and I won't be near you guys anymore." Haku insisted.

"Okay then. Haku can you help me? Gaara's in one of his moods where he won't take his pills. Just hold him down when I roll him on his back." Neji said while beginning the task.

Haku went over to the bed and as Neji rolled Gaara on his back. Haku held him down while Neji put the pills in Gaara's mouth and held his hand over his mouth until he knew the pills wouldn't be spit out. Haku then let go of Gaara and sat on the floor near Neji's bed. Neji finally let go of Gaara and walked over to talk to Haku. He knew why Gaara was doing that and knew he better talk to Haku and get him out. Then he and Gaara could do what they wanted to do before going to bed.

"Listen Haku, the guy won't do anything to you. He knows that he would be kicked out of school." Neji insisted smartly.

"I know, but what if he does? I mean you saw the chains and that stuff on his bed. The guy is crazy." Said Haku, clearly unconvinced.

"Yeah I know, but don't worry. If he tries anything, just come over here." Neji said graciously.

"Okay, I'll go since Gaara's being moody. Bye." Haku waited for Gaara and Neji said bye and then walked down to his room. When he got into the room he saw that his roommate hadn't arrived yet. He went to the bathroom and then took a shower. When he got out of the shower. He heard the door shut and someone walking around in the room. When he walked out of the room he didn't bother to look at the person. He sat on his bed and started texting Zabuza. Then he heard his roommate talk to him.

"Hello Haku. It's nice to see you again." Spoke the person.

Haku turned around to face the familiar voice. His eyes opened wide and he couldn't move and the only thing he said was— "Not you".

END OF CHAPTER

Sorry for the cliffhanger. I had to put it at the end of this chapter. The question that I have is, who is Haku's roommate? Kimimaro? Orochimaru? Sasori? Deidara?

Please review everyone and tell me what you think of this chapter and sorry if the beginning sucks. And tell me who you think is the roommate. Later.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
