A:N/Omg, this is the twelfth freaking chapter, it is going by way too fast. Omg, I feel like I just started writing this story. Well time sure goes fast when you're having fun, and believe me, I really love writing for people who appreciate my writing. I work really hard on it and spend a lot of time on them, even if they are really short chapters, only like two thousand words per chapter approximately, not a lot. Some stories I've read have like six thousand a chapter and they have like eighteen chapters. But they are probably adults or people who don't only spend like only four hours on them max. I try my hardest to get one chapter out per day, it is really hard especially when I don't start till like six, cause then I have school next morning and I have to work on it in the morning, it is really hard. Has anyone read the latest Naruto Chapter, I was so shocked at the end, poor Itachi, but I didn't see the point in doing that, I mean, he'll just regenerate again, but they probably won't be able to make that jutsu come back again. My poor Itachi, I love him almost as much as Gaara, Almost. Well I hope you enjoyed this Chapter, I'm gonna watch some Dragon ball! ^-^
Chapter 12
Naruto's POV
I ran frantically looking around everywhere I could think of for Gaara, but to no avail, I couldn't find him. He must have gone somewhere I didn't know or was outside of the village. I looked around for an hour until Tsunade caught me.
"Where have you been Naruto, I've been looking everywhere for you."
"I can't find Gaara, he ran away, it's a long story."
"I've got time."
"Well, I ran into Hinata while I was looking for Gaara, then she started to me. Then, out of nowhere she kissed me and of course the moment it happens, Gaara shows up and sees me. He ran away and I've been looking for him ever since." Tears were running down my face and I tried to wipe them. They were reminders of what I had lost. "I hope Gaara can forgive me, I didn't even want to."
"Naruto…" Tsunade put her arms around me and held me in an awkward hug. "He'll come back to you, he loves you, I know he'll forgive you if you tell him the truth."
"You're right Granny Tsunade!" I looked up at her and smiled. "I'm going to go find Gaara. Thanks for everything." I ran off and once again searched for Gaara. I was surprised Tsunade let me go instead of continuing with Hokage lessons. There was so much stuff we had to do. She taught me a lot and it was hard to take it all in at the speed she was teaching it.
I searched all day but I couldn't find him, I wonder where he went. He usually never went anywhere without telling me. It was dark by the time I finally gave up and I was sore all over. I went back to our house and I wasn't surprised to find it empty. I walked over to my room and stared at the bed, wishing I wasn't its only occupant.
I sat down beside to spot that had once occupied the man I loved, the man I still love and hope loves me back. I missed his warmth when he would lie down beside me in bed and his touch when we slept together. I cared about Gaara more than I cared about anyone else. Gaara was my everything, if he disappeared, I don't know what I would do, and right now, I don't know what to do. I could feel tears running down my face once more. I plopped my head down into my pillow and started to cry. I wrapped my arms around the pillow and pushed my face into it as much as I could.
Gaara was gone. I wished he would forgive me and come back, I wish more than my heart can stand that he would come back. Gaara was so much to me, he filled up so much of my heart. And, if he never came back, I would slowly fade away, and the sad part was, none of this was my fault. Damn Hinata, I hate you so much! Why would you do that? I mean, I know you love me, but if you truly loved me, you would want me to be happy more than anything, right?
"Gaara…" I sobbed. I missed him so much. I wonder where he was? Was he staying with Kankuro, or did he find another place to stay. Then I fell asleep and found myself in a dark dungeon, the ground was full of water and I was standing before a giant cage which held something I knew only too well.
"Hello, Nine-Tails. What do you want?"
"Naruto, I think it would be best if you forgot boy whom you call Gaara."
"Why?"
"I just have an ominous feeling, like the next time you meet him, something horrible will happen, not just to you, but to me also."
"And how do you know this?"
"I have a feeling, if you die, that means I will also die. You know that right?"
"Yes, only too well in fact."
"So just forget about the red headed boy…" My dream was cut short when I was woken up by the sunlight radiating through the open window. I turned around expecting a head full of red hair, but was instead greeted by empty space that occupied the spot beside me. I wanted to start crying again, but I knew I couldn't no matter how much I wanted to. I pushed myself off the bed and started walking towards the bathroom. I never usually cared about how I looked, and it wasn't like I could use the water or anything.
I grabbed the brush off the counter and tried to brush it as neatly as I could, but like every other time I've tried, it continued to stick straight up. I stared at myself in the mirror. My eyes were poofy and my face was tear-stained. I tied my headband around my forehead and pulled tight.
I headed out the door to go see Kankuro and see if Gaara was staying with him. The whole way to where he was staying my thoughts were only for Gaara. I finally saw Kankuro where he was staying at the tents. He wasn't injured, but if your house was destroyed you had to stay there.
The first thing I saw was his hood and his purple make-up that covered his face. He looked bored from the looks of it. He was holding some scrolls in his hand as he sat outside the entrance of the tent he was staying in. I walked over and he noticed me coming.
"Hey, Kankuro."
"Hey, Naruto."
"Do you know where Gaara is?"
"No, why? What happened?"
"Well, nothing much, I just couldn't find him when I got up." I know lying is wrong, but if I told Kankuro the truth, he would kill me. I mean, I pretty much cheated on his little brother.
"Oh, no, is he helping Yamato again?"
"No."
"Oh, well, uhmm, I can't think of anywhere else he would be."
"Oh, okay thanks."
"No problem. Oh yah, Lady Tsunade was looking for you, she told me to tell you that if I saw you."
"Thanks Kankuro. I'm going to go look for Gaara for a little while longer." I waved good bye and started walking around, looking for Gaara again. I had completely ignored what Kankuro said about Lady Tsunade wanting to talk to me, in my opinion this was way more important. I kept looking for about an hour but no matter how much I looked I couldn't find him.
Eventually I went to the city gates and walked around the surrounding area. The forest was dark and gloomy; all the life around the city had been scared away when Pein had attacked. Or, they were scared away when the Nine-Tails took control over my body. I had almost released the seal holding him inside my body. Then, my father showed up and stopped the complete transformation from ever occurring. It was because of my father that I could stay with Gaara and stay human. I walked around the forest and the only life I came across was bugs. This would be the perfect place for Shino.
I looked around vigorously, but no matter where I looked I couldn't find him. I eventually gave up and I started walking towards the city gates again. Then I saw a man standing by the entrance who a carried giant gourd on his back. His red hair shone in the sunlight and he turned to face me, instantly noticing it was me. His expression changed to a smile and he waved to me. Compared to his pale skin, his mark and dark circles around his eyes stuck out like a sore thumb. But I loved that about him.
"Gaara…" I started to run towards him with my arms open wide. I ran and caught him in a hug. "Gaara, I'm so sorry, please forgive me." I sobbed into his shirt.
"Of course, I could never hate you." Gaara wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a loving embrace.
"I love you, Gaara."
"I love you too." I had missed him so much. I hugged tighter and cried into his shirt. He patted my head lovingly.
"I'm sorry for worrying you." Gaara said.
"No, I'm the one who should apologize. Hinata was the one who kissed me, but I let it happen. You must hate me."
"No, I could never hate you. You know that right."
"Gaara, where were you?"
"I was walking down the road, but I decided to come back, I couldn't be away from you."
"I know, I missed you so much last night."
"Yah, I walked the entire night, I wanted to get back to you as quickly as I could. But, I found this amazing place."
"Where?"
"In the forest, come on." Gaara held out his hand and I eagerly took it, a big mistake…
TBC…
A/N: I was watching Dragon ball again, and still no super Saiyan mode, it pees me off. Vegeta died, at least something good happened. But, I got my new bed today, I've been sleeping a week without one, my back will be so happy tonight, I can't wait. Does anyone know a good anime I can watch, or a good manga I can read, or even a story on this site I can read? Well, I really like this chapter, it shows just how much Naruto loves Gaara, it's kind of sad how he's so sad and he cries over how Gaara is gone. Naruto is so sweet. I haven't been watching the anime lately, I've only been reading the manga, where are they at in the story? Well, guess what, I love blue exorcist! It is awesome, I want to find a shounen-ai for Rin and someone else, hopefully Bon, but even if there isn't, one can , if anyone has any questions or ideas review, I won't know otherwise. Well, thanks for staying with me this long, I'll will try my hardest to get a chapter out a day, but I might not be able to everyday. I apologize in advance. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it ^-^!
