I do not own Naruto

im back...finally my computer is fixed...


Gaara...

Gaara...are you ok?

Gaara woke up looking down at his desk. He looked at his surrounding and wondered how the hell he got into a classroom. Wasn't he just with Neji? He sighed and looked down at the clothes he was wearing and he suddenly remembered that he was at school and that he was now the owner of Sabaku industries. What he was more concerned about on the other hand was whether or not he had actually been with Neji just now. He thought he was and it all seemed pretty real to him, but was it really? He looked around and moved his leg ever so slightly. That's when it hit him and he immediately buried his head in his arms in complete embarassment.

Neji looked at the red-haired boy sitting next to him. Something was wrong as Gaara had looked up and then put his head down a second later. It was a little odd, but he figured it was because Gaara had been up later and later nowadays to run his father's company. He turned to stare directly back at the board not really seeing anything on it. Yeah, he was in class but there was a lot more on his mind right now than english, a lot more. He had to tell his uncle that he was no longer a virgin and let alone not interested in anyone but Gaara. It was always important to Hiashi that he know everything they did so that a large scandal did not disgrace his household or the punishment for such an offense would be severe. Sighing, he glanced at the clock and noting that there was only a few minutes left in class began to pack his things up.

Gaara pulled his shirt on top of his jeans. He needed to find out if what happened between them was really real. He waited until he saw Neji walk out the door and then followed a few minutes later. As he walked past some of the girls tried horrible attempts to get his attention including flashing him hoping that he'd even so much as look their way. Things had in fact been different for him as soon as he took over SI and people were now treating him with a lot more respect. He found Neji by his locker getting his books for his next class. Gaara went up behind him pulling the hair tie out of his hair before turning him around and slamming him against the locker.

"Gaara... ... ... What's wrong?", Neji asked as his hair cascaded down around his face.

Dammit, Gaara thought, why does he have to look so damn good?

"Neji, I need to know. Did we have sex the other day?", Gaara said in a hushed whisper.

Neji looked surprised. How could Gaara not remember? He had been thinking of nothing else since that night.

"Yes, how could you forget that?", Neji asked in a hurt whisper. He felt like crying, but would not give Gaara the pleasure of seeing him do so.

"Neji...I didn't forget...I...just...had...a dream back there and I wanted to know whether or not everything I dreamed was real... I'm sorry for hurting you."

"It's ok...", Neji started before they heard a loud scream in the hallway. Neji started laughing under his breath and Gaara looked to see the cause of the commotion. Apparently, someone had put worms in Sakura's locker and it freaked her out to the point where she was shaking in the hallway. Gaara looked at Neji with an amused smile on his face. Neji smiled back and next thing he knew Gaara hands were in his hair and his lips were pressing down on his. The kiss was so sweet that Neji almost melted into the floor. This wasn't the Gaara he was used to, especially since Gaara was extremely skeptical about displaying affection in public.


Hayate was guarding the gates of the city thinking of nothing except his beloved Minako and how he couldn't wait to go see her. This war would be over soon and they could once again be together just like old times. When he slept at night it was her face he could see and when he dreamt it was about the beautiful gift of herself she had given him.

The war moved on and there was talk that it would be over shortly and then he could propose to her and they could have a family together. General Tanaka came to them that evening saying that the last defense was needed to secure the win. Hayate was scared at the possibility that he may not be able to return to his beloved Minako. He had heard that even though they were winning there had been a lot of casualties on both sides as was common with any war: win or lose.

He left that evening wishing he could see her face one last time or to hold her in his arms until sunrise. The battle was long and fierce. Just before it was over, Hayate had been fatally injured and stay in the hospital set up until he died. While alone and in pain a strange woman came up to him and offered him his life for a price, a very terrible price. He had to give up a life with the one person that he loved and marry this woman and take care of the child she had. He accepted since then he'd be able to see Minako again and maybe he could break out of his deal or at least be with Minako as much as possible in the garden. Then the woman told him the other part of the deal he had already accepted. If he showed any signs of love or compassion to Minako then the deal would be broken and he would die. As she healed him, he wept whispering over and over the name of his beloved Minako.
