Assassination

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. I do own the name Orochimaru gives Sasuke.

Why?

This is it, I'm going to dye! Sasuke thought, as the sand squeezed, him his mask began to fall off his face. He instantly knew, they were going to find out.

Sasuke struggled, and moved around, only to let the sand tighten around him more. He was starting to not breathe and his mask was still falling off.

"It's about time Sanarie, we get to see who you really are." Neji said, walking up and looking at Sasuke. He smiled and was ready to just permanently dispose of Sanarie; he lied and was a stealer.

"Neji move, I don't want his blood all over you." Gaara said.

"Oh, don't worry I'll move, but I'd love to see him without this mask."

Sasuke moved his face away from Neji's hand. Instants later, the mask fell down, and Sasuke put his head down, so they couldn't see his face.

"Oh, now you want to be shy! Come on let's see that face of yours!" Neji lifted Sasuke's head, and gasped. He stepped back, nervous.

"Sasuke!" Naruto said, also shocked.

"What?" Gaara let go of the Sand Coffin, and looked him as well.

"I don't have to answer to any of you!" Sasuke made a run for it, but Neji cut him off, and slammed him against a nearby wall.

"Why, the hell, did you do that, all of it!"

Sasuke stayed quiet.

"Answer me damn it!" Neji began to choke Sasuke.

"I wanted power, and to get answers."

"You left for that! I waited for the day I would see you again. I can't even sleep without you, and this is the best you can come up with!"

"Neji, I wanted to see you again too, that's why I couldn't go through with killing y…" Sasuke stopped.

"What? Killing me! You might as well do it now! I feel horrible, that I ever dated you, and even loved you!" Neji dropped him, and then grabbed Sasuke be his hair. Sasuke winced. "Gaara dispose of him, and if you won't…I WILL!"

"Neji, you love him too much, and you know that. You would never be able to go through with it." Naruto said, trying to calm Neji down.

"I don't care about this-this, bitch anymore! He didn't care for me, and now the feelings are mutual."

"Neji I-I do care, please, just believe me."

"Oh please! Don't even try that now!"

"Neji, you're the only one I could think of, the whole time, and if you don't believe me, I understand, I deceived you, and I wouldn't love me anymore either. In fact I don't care about myself anymore." Sasuke picked up his sword, and put it to his chest.

"What are doing?" Neji asked freaking out.

"Disposing of myself, so you don't have to." Sasuke pushed the sword through his chest.

"Sasuke no!" They all screamed and Sasuke's limp body fell to the ground.

"No, no, no! You can't die, please; I didn't mean any of it!" Neji screamed and held Sasuke's body to his chest.

"We have to get help!" Naruto screamed.

"There's a hospital not to far from here, let's go!" Gaara said and they all looked at each other.

"Ok, Gaara lead the way." Neji said picking up Sasuke's limp body. They all ran to the nearest hospital, which was where Hinata was working part time.

"Hinata, help Sasuke's in trouble! He's going to die!" Naruto screamed. Hinata saw Sasuke's body and gasped. The other nurse called the paramedics, who came, and took Sasuke from Neji, and took him to the Emergency Room. Neji and the others stood around and waited. Neji sat down in a corner alone, and began crying. Gaara noticed first and went over to him. He hugged him and tried to make him feel better.

"It'll be ok, Neji, I promise."

"Why did I have to say that? He wouldn't be in there if it wasn't for me!" Neji buried his face into Gaara's chest. Gaara rubbed his back.

"You didn't mean it, you spoke out of anger and you hurt so much, that you didn't know what else to say."

Neji continued to cry on Gaara and Gaara sat there thinking of how all of it happened, and how it happened so fast. They were all waiting. Waiting for it all to over, a nightmare come true.

"Where in the world did we go wrong?" Naruto asked himself out loud.

"We let Sasuke leave him, and all of us." Gaara said, now having a sleeping Neji in his arms.

Two hours passed, and they still waited. The light in the Emergency Room went off and the doctor came out.

"Neji wake up." Gaara said, and looked down at a very sleepy, cute Neji.

"I have so good news, and bad news."

"Bad news first." Naruto said.

"The bad news is that, Sasuke Uchiha, will be held here for a while."

"And the good news?" Neji asked.

"The surgery was a success and Sasuke will live."

They all took a deep breath, and looked and hugged each other.

"Can we see him?" Gaara asked.

"Yes you may, the nurse took him to room, B-23."

"Thank you." Gaara said, helping Neji up and then they traveled to the room. Where Sasuke lie looking out the window, with a little boy in the bed next to his.

"Sasuke." Neji whispered and Sasuke looked at him.

"I wanted to get rid of myself, why did you save me?"

"Regardless of what I said, I will always love you." Neji said, and he sat next to Sasuke.

"Really?"

"Yes, really." Neji put his head down on Sasuke's bed, and Sasuke ran his fingers through his hair.

"Neji?"

"Hm?"

"Don't ever leave me."

"I won't if you promise not to leave me."

"I promise."

Neji hugged Sasuke and kissed him, for what he thought would be a quick one, but it lasted and turned into a passionate one. The nurse came, in and tapped Neji's shoulder. He turned and looked at her, and blushed.

"Let's not make out with the patients."

"Sorry, I-I-I didn't mean it." Neji said moving. She changed the bandages Sasuke had.

"Neji, could you get him anything if he needs it?" the nurse asked.

"Wait, how do you know my name?"

"It's me silly."

"Hinata?"

"Yep."

"Look at you." Neji spun her in a circle.

"What, I grew up, just like you."

"Alright now I'll leave you too alone."

"Alright."

Sasuke put his hand out, for Neji, and Neji took it. Sasuke soon fell asleep, and Neji smiled looking at him.

"Forever Sasuke." Neji whispered before falling asleep.

R&R! I finally did it! Sorry for the delay, I had two major projects going on.
