Let Me Go

A.N.: This is a Gaara/ Sakura Fanfic! Hope you enjoy. It's a song fic to the song LET ME GO by 3 doors down. Oh and it's a oneshot! Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer I own neither song nor anime….

One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve

Gaara stared down at the sleeping angel in his bed. Her soft breathing could barely be heard. Her soft pink hair fanned out over his black pillows. The color contrasted well. One of his hands reached out and touched a soft lock of her hair. Sadness filled his eyes.

'Sakura…Forgive me...'

He turned away from the sleeping girl who had captured his heart. He began to walk away from the girl. He could no longer keep up the lie he had been living. He loved Sakura, but he could no longer stay there and watch as her beautiful emerald eyes fill with hate and tears, when she found out about his lie. It would tear his heart to see her eyes like that. So he had to leave….and never come back….ever. Besides he didn't deserve the angel named Sakura.

He turned for one last glance at the girl before he walked out the door quietly.

"I love you... always."

He whispered before shutting her door quietly.

His cover had been blown and they were searching for him. He had to get out of there and fast. He had only time for a goodbye to Sakura then he had to go.

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

He had to go lest he be caught and hung for treason and being a spy. As he stealthily ran down corridors avoiding the guards and Knights all he could think of was her….only her…always her…

He flatten himself against the wall as guards passed him by and after they were gone he slipped down around the corner where the guards had come from.

Excitement of the chase pumped through him only damped by his thoughts of his lovely Sakura. He didn't remember when he fell in love with her. He had not believed in love…it was something made up to him. But the love he had shared with her had been all too real. But her love for him could not be…. for she did not know who he really was.

You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

He had fallen in love with his target and was torn between completing his mission or not. He had chosen or not. He refused to kill her. This had angered his employer, who decided it was time to reveal who Gaara's real identity was.

He growled. He would kill his employer. Even if it was the last thing he would do. His employer would pay for making him leave his love….now he could not be with her….

She would have to let him go.

He would have to let her go. He couldn't, He wouldn't.

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm going through

How could love be such a good thing…when it hurt so much to know he would never see her again?

Gaara was turned down another hall when a small but strong hand reached out and grabbed him, yanking him it to the shadows. His eyes widen as the hand covered his mouth. Guards and a knight passed by, if the person who had yanked him in to the shadows had not done that he would have been caught. The hand on his mouth felt familiar.

"They should be way pass here now…. We are safe...I should like to think." A very familiar feminine voice whispered.

"What?" Gaara spun to face the girl- no…woman he had fallen in love with. "Sakura, what are you doing here?"

She flashed him a grin before answering. "We all have our little secrets, Gaara."

"But you were sleeping! Go back before they find us."

"Nope….I am coming with you…no matter what!"

Gaara sighed.
