Another last chapter. This is the 4th fic I've ended today… so sad.
"May you rest in peace." Deidara whispered setting a black rose down on Sasori's grave. I sat there letting the rain fall in soft sweet drops. The rain was light and slow with the air of goodbyes in it. I stood up then and walked up to see Sasori for the last time. Gaara had stabbed a knife through his forehead to kill him, but the caretakers of the funeral home did a good job making the hole and such disappear. I set the red rose down in his hands.
I bend down and kissed his nose then whispered my own farewell to him. "Sasori I always loved you, but I wish you could have stayed alive to hear me say this." I said bitterly then turned and walked away. I was wearing a plain black dress that ended at the knees, with black stalking underneath, and combat boots.
I walked through the streets with a purpose. Sasuke and Itachi won't dare bother me on a day like today. I knew what I had to do. My eyes scanned the crowd but I didn't see who I was looking for. Rushing I hurried on to the bar where we had met again. He wasn't here either. Finally I ran to my house, closed and locked the door, before falling to the ground crying.
I heard a slight sound in front of me making me grab a dagger and glare, my eyes still watery, at the killer. Gaara looked so normal it angered me. His eyes were deep and sad as though he knew he was condemned already. I couldn't pity him though. I could never pity a murderer.
Every kind thought I'd ever had of him was placed into the depths of my memory. I knew what had to be done and I will do it. There is no way I'll allow this killer to live. "Have you come seeking your death?!" I screamed punching the picture of Sasori and I that hung on the wall. The glass cut my hands but I didn't care. I couldn't even bring myself to check how deep or if the glass was still in my knuckles.
Gaara didn't say a word. All he did was stand there like a statue. He was completely relaxed and looked as though he could fade at any moment. I took this as the right moment to fight. Running forward I struck out with my dagger planning on slitting his throat in that swift movement.
He backed up dodging and held me at bay with Sasori's sword. He had promised me that sword when I could finally defeat Gaara! A tear fell as this thought filled me whole. I have to kill him now in order to finally get the sword that held so much promise for me. I was going to confess to Sasori once I got that sword.
"Why did you take his sword of all things?!" I demanded feeling pathetic as Gaara waited patiently for me to attack again. He didn't say a word but continued to stand there as though frozen in time. I started to tear up again but this time I held it in. I lashed out once more against him but he blocked my attack and even threw me back.
I glared at him but couldn't find it in me to move. I just want answers. "Why won't you answer me?" I asked in a defeated tone. "You always answer me when I ask questions, or you at least says something." I said in an emotionless voice. My eyes were clear of life and my voice as well. I felt as though I was the walking dead.
"I have no reason to." He finally answered and turned to leave. I forced myself to stand then, and fixed him with a death glare. Gaara waited for me to say or do something as I regained my strength. The boy did something then that I never expected the great Gaara to do. He shed a tear.
"I won't kill you. Not today." I told him making his eyes widen. "I'm too weak and teary eyed to do anything. Plus as you can tell I'm emotional. I will kill you though. There won't be a day that goes by where I won't think of killing you, and then when I do I will give you a proper burial." I said making him stare at me with a look I couldn't comprehend.
"I'll wait for you… Just don't keep me waiting too long." He said with a hollow voice making me nod and burst into tears when he left me all alone again. Sasori's gone…. My only friend…. And now Gaara's gone too. I'm where I started only now Sasori's gone and Gaara has his blade.
Something tells me that I lost something inside me as well. A part of me… wants to tell Gaara that when I kill him… I'll be waiting to join him in death. He's stolen my heart and killed the one I love.
I'll wait for you… in death.
