A/N: This is the last chapter, I hope you guys enjoyed! Reveiw if you have any pairing requests!
When I woke up, I was restrained. My whole body felt like rubber. The only thing that I could see was a bright white light above me. I slipped back into unconsciousness.
When I awoke again, my senses were back to normal. I could hear the soft murmur of voices, none of which I recognized. I waited.
When the door to my room finally opened, I was surprised to see Temari. She was holding my son, her eyes still red from crying.
"Temari, what the hell is going on?" I asked.
"Gaara, calm down and listen. You killed Neji. The doctors thought that it would be best if you heard it from me," she said, closing her eyes again.
"So, what's going to happen?" I asked.
"We're not sure yet. Tusunade and the other village leaders are going to decide at a meeting later tonight."
I nodded, attempting to let the events of the past few days sink in. I had lost the love of my life, gained a son, and now I may lose everything. The usual punishment in Konoha for murder was execution. The only reason a meeting was called was because I of the demon I had carried since birth.
I waited, my son lying on my chest while I waited to find out what my fate was. Temari sat next to us, sobbing quietly. When Tsunade entered the room, I realized I was shaking. For the first time in my life, I had something to live for. I didn't want to die.
"What-" began Temari.
"I tried," Tsunade said, shaking her head. Temari began sobbing again.
The next few hours I spent with the only family I had left. At midnight, a guard made them leave. I was alone with my thoughts when they asked if I had any last requests before my execution the next day at noon. I said I wanted paper and something to write with.
So, for the past twelve hours, I have wrote. I will give this to someone in the hopes that they will pass it on to Temari, who will pass it on to you, Akihiko. I want you to know that I am not a ruthless murderer and that I truly did love your mother. I just want you to know that I love you and I wish that I could be there for every milestone in your life.
I hear the guards coming. I guess this is the end. Goodbye, Akihiko.
