I will Return…..

Prologue

Ok, this is the story that has been plaguing my head for days now. And I feel that I should just go ahead and give it to you guys, unfinished and undone. Well, I'm almost done with it but still, close to being finished is a lot better than not at all. I know I need to update my other stories but I figured that if I go ahead and get this out of my way, the other stories will be easier to upload. Now, this maybe something out of the blue, but I have a question. Why is it that when people write stories and get it going good and the last time they update, its back in 07 or 06 or even farther back? Not that they may forget or they haven't been on lately, but still. Just want to know. Ok, Get're Done!

Gaara looked out into the river. It would be the last time he would ever see this place. It's where he grew up for God's sake. He had everything here. Family, Friends, and….. Sakura. He had Sakura. Now, with his parents transferring to a new company in Japan, it was unfair. They barely ever paid attention to him when he was growing up, so why would they start to care now?

He sighed, skipping a smooth rock across the river. He just felt so destroyed. He picked up another rock and this time, just threw it into the rushing waters. He let out a distress groan and he ran his fingers through his hair and sat down on a rotting stump, not noticing a slender, pink haired young girl standing behind him.

"You know," She began, shocking him in place. "When going to a new place, I find it very adventurous. A start of a new life waiting to happen. But, you. You see it as hell opening to you." She finished, holding in her giggles. God, he would that. He would miss her. He rose slowly to his feet as she approached him.

He opened his arms to her, wanting to feel her form against hers. She simply smiled sweetly at him, wanting to feel him as well. She wrapped her arms around his waist, digging her face into his chest. Gaara, in return, wrapped his arms around her small form, resting his chin on top of her head, closing his eyes, relishing the moment that he believed he will never feel ever again.

His heart was slowly breaking. He knew it would be awhile before he could be back in her arms. It would take time and a lot of money, but with the kind of money his parents were giving him, it wouldn't take too long at all.

She sighed against his chest. Inhaling her sweet scent, he tried to force his brain to remember it and never forget it. She was his best friend, his first crush, his girlfriend, and she was his first and only love. He pulled away from her just a bit, to try and lift her head to face him. When he did, what he saw, hit him hard and at home. Tears streaked her face, her mascara was running like crazy, her eyes were red and still over flowing with tears still to come.

Gaara smiled sweetly, wiping her tears away. She cough slightly against him, feeling her sobs were not helping one bit. When she tried to pull away from his sight, he stopped her, tightening his grip on her. She gasped at his sudden action and was unprepared for what came next.

He gently brought their faces closer, making sure that only their lips were only centimeters away. He could feel his heart beat like crazy, skipping several beats after seeing her face blush like crazy. He would missed that too.

"Gaara." She whispered to him as he closed the distance and kissed her gently. She melted into his kiss, letting her hands travel up his spine and slowly thread them through his hair, letting a small sob escape her mouth.

Gaara took the opportunity and let his tongue inside. He explored her carefully. Remembering every taste and feel of her mouth and her tongue brushing against his. She let out a small moan and gripped his hair even more, earning a groan from the back of his throat. He continued to explore her mouth as his hands ran across her sides, feeling every curve, every bare skin that would poke out from her stomach shirt and the feel of her spin against his finger tips.

When the need for air became to great, they parted slowly, allowing the kiss to slowly die as they looked into each others eyes, their foreheads resting against the other. He kissed her again, but this time only being gentle and quick, knowing he only had so much time. He pulled away, smiling at her. He was going to miss that as well

She hugged him again, letting a small sigh escape her lips. "I don't want you to go. I don't want you to leave me." She said softly. He knew how she felt all too well. Having parents forcing you to move to another country for business purposes was just cruel to him.

"I know. I don't want to leave you either. If I could, I would stay with you forever. Be here for when you graduate, when our first time going off on vacation all by ourselves and just being together, but I can't. I wish I could." He said softly. The last thing he wanted was for her to feel like they were never going to be together.

"No, I don't want you to go. I love you too much." She said, burying her face into his neck. He wound his fingers through her hair, trying to sooth her the best that he could. If she really loved him like he she did, then she wouldn't object to his proposal.

"Sakura," He said, bringing her face back up to his. "If we love each other and if we really want to be together again then, I promise you, you Sakura, that I will return for you and we will together forever. But, we have to be willing to wait for awhile. Do you think you could wait for me like I will?" He asked her. She nodding her head frantically.

"I'll wait for you, Gaara. Always. I love you." She said, kissing him many times. He kissed her back as many times. "And I love you. Promise me you will wait."

She nodded again. "I promise, Gaara. I'll wait for you." He sighed in relief. He knew she wouldn't have to wait long. He won't allow anything to stand in his way of getting back to her.

"Then, I promise you I will return to you." He kissed her forehead and pulled out a small necklace from his pocket. "Wear this for me? I made it for you." He asked.

She stared at it in wonder. It was a single thread of silver that would fit perfectly on her neck, but what caught her eye was the small charm that hung from the thread. It was a small pink jewel in the shape of a blossom with sane blowing by it. He made it? It was so beautiful. She placed the small jewel in her palm, wanting to gaze at it more. He had never done something like this for her before. A tear fell from her eye's as she smiled at him.

"I love it, Gaara. It's beautiful." She said as he moved behind her and hooked the thread around her neck. When he felt that is was good enough, he kissed the back of her head and she quickly turned around to face him. As he thought, it graced her skin perfectly.

"I'm glad you love it." He said, about to kiss her again, but the sound of the horn honking caused him to pull his gaze away from her and at the limo that was waiting for him.

"Gaara!" He heard his sister call him. He sighed as he looked back at Sakura. He kissed one last time, trying to let it linger, but the sound of his father's voice broke it and he hugged her for the last time.

"I promise I'll come back for you." He whispered into her ear before he released her and ran to the limo.

Just before her got inside, he looked back at her, smiling gently as she blew him a kiss and he caught it. He could hear her giggle softly as she made her way to her car, her face still streaked with tears and make-up.

He felt his heart break as he got into the limo and felt that his world had just came crumbling down. He grasped his chest as he felt tears fall from his eyes. Luckily, everyone was toward the front of the limo so no one noticed how in pain he was.

"Goodbye, Sakura." He said softly. "I'll come back soon." He finally just laid down and let the pain consume him as he felt his body quiver and fall into slumber. Things were going to be different when he returned. No one was going to stop him. He made a promise to return. And return he shall.

Well, what did you think? I hoped you liked it. More to come. Trust me.
