Neji and Gaara climbed into Neji's car and began driving to the garden. Both of them were perfectly happy and just enjoying each others company when a feeling of dread washed over Gaara. He had flashes of losing Neji and never being able to see him again. So when Neji stopped the car at the place he first felt the strange feeling, he waited a few moments before getting out ot the car and turning to his lover.

"What is it, Gaara?", Neji asked.

"I'm not sure Neji. I just...well...i get this strange feeling from this place...like...like I'm going to lose you or something."

"Gaara", Neji said inhaling deeply. "I'm sure its nothing. Please come with me. I love you and I want to show you something really special."

"Neji...please...I really don't think this is a good idea."

"I understand that Gaara, but have faith in me, and have faith in us. Together we can do anything."

Gaara looked up at Neji still a little uncertain and smiled. He's right, Gaara thought to himself, as long as we're together we can accomplish anything. Gaara nodded and they got out of the car and began heading to the clearing that Neji had almost wondered into the other day. Neji held Gaara's hand the entire way there and once again the strangest feeling he had felt the last time was back in full force. He loved Gaara with all his heart and he wanted them to be able to share this place together and not have anyone there to separate them. Though as he neared this place he began to doubt the red-head's feelings for him. When they were just barely on the outside of the clearing Neji turned to Gaara and pulled him close to him.

"Neji, what wrong?", Gaara asked worried about his partner.

"Gaara, please, just tell me if you feel the same way i do. Tell me that you love me and want nothing more than for us to be together. If it's truly how you feel then tell me now and seal it with even the smallest of kisses."

"Neji, you know i love you and that i will stay by your side no matter what. We can do anything together. We will overcome any obstacle that comes our way.", Gaara stated as he kissed Neji in a kiss so passionate it could make the flowers cry.

Holding hands the two stepped into the clearing and suddenly fell down as if in a deep sleep. Moments later they opened their eyes to see the garden flowers opening anda young girl sitting in the middle of them. She looked at them with sorrowful eyes and spoke in a soft, quiet voice.

"You have entered my garden. I'm Minako. Who are you?"

"I'm Neji and this is Gaara."

"I see. You must truly love one another to have entered my sanctuary. Tell me do you believe in love?"

"Yes", they both answered at the same time.

"So foolish and young. I was once the same as you, but i learned that love means nothing. It is but an illusion to hide the true feelings of another."

"No, it isn't!", Neji exclaimed.

"Oh?", asked Minako. "Are you saying that the love you share with Gaara will last forever?"

"Yes, that's what I'm saying. I have no intention of ever leaving Gaara. I made a promise-"

"A PROMISE?! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT PROMISES ARE EASILY BROKEN?! ARE YOU SO NAIVE AS TO THINK ONCE SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG HE WONT LEAVE YOU!", Minako shouted in anger.

"I wont break mine ever.", Neji answered not wishing to enter an argument.

Minako calmed down but rose to full height.

"So you are telling me that you two are truly in love? Well, then I guess i was wrong or was I? You do know the legend of the Moonlight Garden, am i correct?"

"Yes."

"Well then. Which of you shall forget? Unless you have the answers I seek."

"The answers?", Gaara asked tenatively.

"Ha Ha and I thought you knew of my legend. The answer i seek is the answer as to why my beloved Hayate betrayed me? Why he left me to live alone with our child and refused to even acknowledge our love once he came back? Otherwise you two will be separated and if you truly love each other you will fall in love again, but your memories of the other will never return unless you can answer my questions during the light of the full moon. I can not rest until then and I can't allow you to leave this place as you are now. One of you must forget.", she finished.

The two of them looked at one another neither of them wanting to forget the love they shared. Neji looked at Gaara and bent down to give him a long, sweet and romantic kiss as if trying to capture every last moment with him, before looking at Minako.

"Gaara, I know you can make me fall in love again. Just believe in us. Always believe in our love and everything that we've shared and I promise you we will be together again.", Neji said with tears threatening to fall down his face.

"Neji...I promise I will make you fall in love with me again and we'll fix this together. Nothing can keep us separated forever. I love you."

"I love you too, Gaara."

Minako looked at them as a bright light filled the area. The tears fell from Neji's eyes as all the memories of the love him and Gaara shared were erased.
