I do not own Naruto. Thanks to mewmewgoddess for the idea.

Sorry this took so long. but here it is. This fic will be over in a few more chapters and then there will be another fic that takes place right as their next adventure. I will write an author note to tell of the next story when this is done. But until then enjoy :)

She could help him. She could help him get his Neji back after Minako had stolen him. She was the only one who could help him, but at what price. She had not said only that she could help. Gaara would do anything to be with Neji again and he would give up anything as well. He took a deep breath and prayed he wasn't making a mistake when he did this. He needed Neji back and this seemed to be his only solution. Gaara looked at the enchantress.

"Promise I will get my Neji back.", he said to her.

"Yes...."

"Then I will accept your offer..."

"Perfect.", the enchantress said as Neji and Minako rushed into the place.

"Neji...", Gaara said.

"Stay away from him you witch...", Neji said to the enchantress.

"Oh its too late now. I have already made a deal with him. He is now going to have to leave you Neji. You can see him of course, but he will be mine forever unlike his father, Sakuya Nami and Hizashi Hyuuga.", the enchantress said.

Gaara felt tears sting at his eyes when he heard the rest of the deal. Why had he accepted without hearing the rest of the offer?

"Hizashi Hyuuga...my father?", Neji asked.

"Yes the one and the same.", the enchantress said. "Would you like to hear a little story?"

"I...yes...", Neji answered.

"Hizashi was always a strong minded determined child. I always admired that about him, but one day he wanted something that wasn't his. A woman. A woman interested in Hiashi since Hiashi was born first and had more power in the company. He wanted her so much that he was willing to do anything for it. So I made him an offer. He could have her if after 16 years he agreed to be mine and mine only.", she said pausing for a moment. "He agreed and a little after Hiashi and the woman began dating he stole her away. The girl was an innocent, meaning a virgin, and he proposed to her. They slept together and she got pregnant with a beautiful baby boy. Well after the time had passed he did not come to me and so I convinced a still jealous Hiashi to get someone to mess up Hizashi's brakes and then well you know the rest Neji.", the enchantress said laughing evilly.

Neji was consumed with anger from this recent developement and tried to attack the enchantress. He went to hit her and then felt his arm pass through the thin gauzy material of her dress. Neji's eyes widened in shock.

"I do not have a physical form unless I want one", the enchantress said to him. "Which means I can not be physically harmed."

"You evil witch why not just leave them alone?", Minako said to the enchantress in anger.

The enchantress merely laughed at them and then went away though you could still hear her laughing in the distance.

"Why Gaara? Why did you do it?", Neji asked. "I would have found my way back to you. So tell me why you did it. We had everything. I revealed the truth to Minako. We could have been happy together without having to deal with anymore of this, but you made the deal and I promise you that I will not give you up. Even if I have to follow you where ever she takes you I will never give you up.", Neji said to Gaara.

Gaara just looked at Neji and smiled weakly. He had no idea why he agreed to the enchantresses deal all he knew was that he wanted Neji by his side. All he had thought about at that moment was Neji and him being able to at least spend more time together. He had forgotten that they had uncovered the secrets to Minako's past and all they had to do was to tell her the only thing in that moment that he had thought about was Neji. He was so stupid! Now he had to find a way to stay with his beloved when they had an enchantress that desperately wanted to keep them apart.

Another spirit came into existence next to Minako. It was Minako's lost love Hayate. He looked at Minako with love that had surpassed the times in his eyes and smiled before he turned to the two lovers that were currently trying to figure out a way to stay together.

"Gaara...Neji...Thank you for revealing the truth to Minako.", Hayate started before Minako turned around happily noticing him. He stopped her floating form before it came closer. "Because you have revealed the truth to Minako and helped us. I want to help you. This enchantress needs to be stopped at all cost in order to ensure the safety of lover's everywhere."

"How? How can we stop her?", Neji asked looking slightly defeated like the time he had fought with Naruto and lost. It had been the most humiliating time of his life, but he had changed since then. "How can we stopped the enchantress?"

"Well there is a legend that I am quite sure is very true. The enchantress is a bitter woman who lost the man she loved and therefore that is why she breaks up lovers. It is said that the man's spirit is in an ancient jade crystal and that reuniting her with her love will break all her spells. Because the enchantress is still around Minako and I can not rest even though we know the truth that lead to our demise. She is the key to freeing our spirits and more. We need to find that jade crystal. The last known owner of the crystal was Emmeline Sabaku over 100 years ago.", Hayate told them.
