Kakashi: Girl owns nothing besides the fics.

We knew it wouldn't be easy. It was hard. The beginning was even hard.

But we got lost in each other.

I got lost in you.

It was messy – I was messy. I had given my heart to another, knowing he loved another.

And then you came along, told me I was everything.

I had cried. And cried. And cried.

I never thought I would fall for you. But I did.

The beginning of us was certainly nothing I had expected. I really met you at their wedding, though I had seen you before. He was standing at the altar, unknowingly sending me happy, anxious smiles as he awaited his bride-to-be. I was his best friend, so of course I smiled and encouraged everything. I had to be the one to make sure he knew that everything was okay. I don't think he ever found out how I felt about him – or them.

But he didn't need to know; because you did. As soon as he had said his vows, I had to leave. You weren't one for weddings, even if it was your sisters, and you followed me. I don't think either of us knew why you did.

My light blue silk dress hung to me nicely and I was crying and straightening it out when you came. I tried to be brave and smile like nothing was wrong, but your expressionless face made it hard for me to keep up. I crumbled to my knees and you were right there, awkwardly rubbing my back. Ever since then, I've been nothing without you.

Your family had stayed a few weeks so that way the newlywed couple could get used to being with each other; to get used to being married. I didn't see him really at all then, I didn't want to. You had been with me, as if you were concerned about me. You never said much, but you didn't need to. And I'm sure my horrible ranting and crying must've gotten troublesome, as he would say.

But even then you didn't leave. You stayed by my side through it all.

I was open with you since the very beginning; I was broken at the very beginning.

Just knowing you were there and that maybe you cared made me feel like I was something. I knew I wasn't, but you even tried to lie and tell me I was everything.

"I'm nothing without you," I remember whispering to you as you held me against you again. I couldn't help but weep about everything yet again.

Now here we are, every night you hold me and even through the pain of it all, the rise and the fall, I know that I want to get lost in you.

"Let me inside," I plead quietly against your chest, "Let me get close to you."

I feel your small smile against my head and I hear the steady beat of your heart. Glancing up slightly to look into your teal eyes that shine in the moonlight, I feel your grip tighten.

"You're everything to me," a small kiss on my head, "You are close to me, Ino."

I start to cry again, but this time it's for a very different reason; this time it's because I'm so blissful that I found you.

"I love you, Gaara," I whisper in the dead of night.

And even through the bad times that we have, and through every fall we go through, I see it all in you and every day I find myself saying I want to get lost in you. I really am nothing without you.
