SASUGAA-WHY IT WORKS

SasuGaa is the Naruto fandom ship of Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara of the sand. (Particularly Sasuke as the Seme and Gaara as the uke)

There are varying reasons why so many ship these two and it would be best to give a few. Some may ship it Simply because it's the cutest thing to ever happen to yaoi, and some because there is some brief hinting at it in the actual series.

--UNOFFICIAL EVIDENCE--

1.In part one of Naruto, we all remember the unforgettable confrontation Gaara and Sasuke had on the street of Konoha. It began with Sasuke's semi-successful attempt to free konohamaru Sarutobi and his teammates Udon and Moegi. After Kankurou's threat to pulverize Sasuke, Gaara smoothly shows up, using his chakra to dangle from the underside of the tree, startling everyone. After Gaara coldly tells Kankuro not to waste his time,he demonstrates his already overflowing skill by dissolving into sand a reappearing on the ground, where's he later apologizes on Kankuro's behalf. Sasuke, even after Gaara had left, seemed utterly intrigued by the red headed boy, even to the point where he ignored his teammates. One might even say Sasuke was slightly "smitten" by Gaara. Sasuke began to seek an urge to fight the sand genin to see if he could measure up to his skill.(And as we know it takes a lot to impress Sasuke and for him to see anybody as a worthy opponent)

2. During Sasuke's fight with Gaara in the Chunin exams, one, if paying attention could notice little things that made the confrontation seem a little more heated then it might seem to the naked eye. One, you could notice how Sasuke and Gaara seem to have little "staring sessions" whenever they see each other, sometimes not even looking away for minutes. Throughout the entire Naruto series, you notice that Gaara is the only one that Sasuke seems to do this with. Lost in each other's eyes? Checking one another out? It is something we shall never know.

3. Though this may not be a reason I do suggest you go check it out. During Sasuke and Gaara's part one battle if you pause at certain positions the fight can seem... Slightly intimate. During the fight, when Sasuke is about to knee Gaara in the stomache,notice how he grabs Gaara's sash to pull him closer. And if you pause at the right second, it looks almost as if Sasuke is leaned over kissing Gaara's neck! And with the amount of jerking and pulling Sasuke does to Gaara's clothing it looks like some kind of weird fight dance. While this may not be a reason it is kind of amusing, so go check it out.

4. Again, in the Sasuke Vs Gaara Chunin exam fight all of the SasuGaa fans may have noticed this, but for those who didn't, did you notice one of the comments Sasuke said during the fight? He said, " I'm going to tear off all of your sand Armor!" Is it just me or did that comment sound slightly...provocative? And the slightly sultry way he said it doesn't help...

5. I've also noticed that throughout the series in general, Sasuke seems to uneccesarily say Gaara's name a lot. I can understand why though, his name rolls right off the tongue. I can Also say that whenever Sasuke says Gaara's name during a fight and you close your eyes,... It doesn't sound like they're fighting...

6. Gaara obviously has a striking connection with Sasuke from day one especially with the way he notices Sasuke's hatred has morphed into the hatred he once held inside him. Sasuke and Gaara have both indirectly tried to help one another with the overflowing hatred of their past.

In all actuality though, Sasuke and Gaara just seem to bond over fighting, even if they don't show it. The only thing that's keeping SasuGaa from happening is Naruto himself. Just think about it, if Naruto didn't exist, who would they go running to? Probably each other.(Actually Gaara could probably run to rock lee, but that's an explanation for another time) My parting word is just that I love this couple and it trumps over all other couples(and if you really think hard about it it could be canon) there are many other reasons that these two could work, but I chose not to make the list too long.
