Naruto found himself wandering the streets of Suna, he should know that life would have complications, just the other day before he left for Suna, Sasuke had told him to expect the worse possibility, and hope for the best. That way he would not be too disappointed.

Absently he realized that he needed to talk to Gaara and try to explain his actions. If the Kazekage had truly forgotten him, its no wonder that the kiss had upset him. How could he though? When he had first found out that Gaara had been his lover, he had wanted to see him instantly. It had taken a while to get him to realize that he had to make preparations and have the approval of the Hokage.

"Naruto-kun." Sai tapped him on the shoulder, "Please go back, you need to talk with the Kazekage."

Nodding his head, Naruto turned around, they hadn't gone too far, up in the distance he could see the Kazekage's office as the sun was sinking over the horizon behind it, casting its shadow over the area like a blanket protecting someone from the elements.

The way the sun glowed on the surface of the building was breathtaking. Suna was a beautiful place.

Walking back in silence, Naruto was once more lost in thought about the red headed man that had once battled him when they were younger. He was not entirely sure when it was that Gaara had burrowed deep within Naruto's heart, he didn't even want to know, all he could say for sure now was the fact that he never wanted to lose him. He liked everything about Gaara, the way those green eyes held a sea of emotion even when he was showing no emotion, the way he was so shy until he got to know you, how his hair was so soft, and most importantly, how his voice spoke to Naruto's soul. He only felt complete when he was with Gaara. Two sides of the same coin, he believed that they were soul mates, now he had to figure a way to get him back.

Kankuro was in the hall in front of the doors that led to the Kazekage's office along with Neji, Kiba, and Loki. Behind the repaired door, Temari's voice was heard, pleading with her brother about it not being her fault.

Naruto nodded at everyone before once more barging in to the office. Temari was standing in front of Gaara, her hands on her hips and looking for all the world as if she were about to cry. Shikamaru was leaning against the wall, he had his eyes closed until he heard Naruto enter, when he spotted his friend, he smiled sheepishly. Gaara was sitting calmly behind the desk, his expression unreadable, when he saw the blond enter however, his eyes lit up and his mouth parted as if getting ready to say something.

Holding up his hand, Naruto said, "Temari, tell Gaara everything."

"Naruto…"

"I was told by Tsunade," Naruto said, "So I want you to tell Gaara."

"I-" Temari looked over at Shikamaru, "… I can't."

Shikamaru once more closed his eyes, sighing with exasperation he asked, "Would you like for me to tell him?"

Tears were freely flowing down from her eyes now, all she could do was nod her head.

"How troublesome…" he didn't even need to see her nod to know that she wanted him to explain, "The night that everything happened in Konoha, Tsunade decided to 'test' just how deeply you two loved each other, so she decided to wipe both of your memories about one another for the past six months. Temari didn't want to go along with it, yet she agreed only if for the sake of having you and Naruto realize your true feelings."

When Naruto had heard from Tsunade, he had started to remember. Looking at Gaara however, he realized that the red head was still at a loss as to what was going on.

Dejectedly, Naruto walked over to Gaara and looked him in the eyes before asking, "Can you forgive me now?"

"N…" Gaara's soft voice was shaky with emotion. "Naruto, how do you feel about me?"

Ignoring everyone in hearing range, Naruto pulled the red head up before saying, "I love you." his own voice sounding hesitant and unsure, afraid of rejection.

"I can forgive you, under one condition."

Naruto was lost in a sea of green, his heart was pounding so hard that he felt as if everyone could hear it. "What is the condition?"

Gaara nervously cleared his throat, he also had eyes only for Naruto as he said softly, "Kiss me again."

Grinning evilly, Naruto proceeded to do just that, his lips touched Gaara's and the world seemed to stop. Gently he nibbled on Gaara's lower lip till Gaara opened his mouth, instead of his tongue sliding into the moist mouth though, Naruto sucked on Gaara's lip, using his tongue to tease the flesh and smiling with pleasure at the soft whimper sound that emerged from the normally stoic Kazekage.

"Get a room you two." Kankuro laughed from the door, in his arms was Loki, cooing happily up at him.

"Tch…" Shikamaru pushed himself away from the wall, "Come on Tem… lets leave them alone."

Temari smiled at the fact that the Hokage had been right in guessing that the two of them would make things work if that was destined. She was also pleased due to the fact that her brother would be happy in the future, even if he was mad at her in her way of getting them together.

"By the way," Kankuro said, "Who's baby is this?"

They were all walking out of the offices, wanting to give Gaara and Naruto, who were still in each others arms, some time alone.

Temari grinned, "That, little baby brother, is our baby brothers baby."

"What the-" Kankuro spluttered, nearly dropping the infant. Luckily Neji grabbed the baby.

"Woa…" Temari elbowed Kankuro, "Be more careful with our nephew."

Shikamaru looked at Loki then at Neji before asking, "So did you find out anything about Loki?"

"His real parents died." It was Sai that replied, "His dad had been one of the Anbu members that died a couple months ago, his mom lived long enough to leave the baby with Naruto. We found her body before coming here and gave her a proper burial."

"So its not Gaara's?" Kankuro asked.

"No, Naruto though has adopted him." Neji was saying as they walked out into the chilly Suna evening.

"Oi!" Kankuro took the baby and bundled him in his arms, "Its too cold out here, hurry up." he led everyone to the private residence of the Kazekage.

"Over protective uncle…" Shikamaru joked as they all went into the warmth of the abode.

Kankuro grinned, "Hell yeah!"

GNGNGNGNGNGN

Much later, an exhausted Kazekage along with his lover, realized that it was the middle of the night, they were laying on the sofa in the Kazekage office, Gaara was curled up on top of one satisfied blond.

"So do you think we should go home?" Gaara's voice was slightly hoarse from the hours of passion they had shared.

"I guess we have to sooner or later." Naruto was absently rubbing Gaara's bare back, his fingers trailing over the smooth skin.

"Lets make it later…" Gaara said as he sat up on Naruto's lap and straddled his hips, "I want to be alone with you longer…" when his mouth met Naruto's they both realized that they would never get too bored with one another or have the feeling that they were seeing too much of each other. With love in his heart, Gaara gave all he could to Naruto. In return, Naruto never once let Gaara forget how much he was loved.

The future would be more difficult than they both imagined, yet here in this moment, they both knew that whatever happened, as long as they had each other, they could get through any hardships.
