*Author's Note: Hellos! This is the final chapter of this fanfiction. I am really sad and I have been putting it off because I'm sad it's ending. Which wasn't fair, so after giving myself a more stern talking to, I finished typing out this ending. I know I said I was going to have an alternate ending, but frankly, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wouldn't make sense. ANYWAY! I want to thank everyone who favorited and followed this fanfiction and even if you didn't thank you for reading it until the end. I started this in 2015 and almost six years later it is ending. I honestly didn't know so many people would read it, let alone enjoy it, especially with my mucked up grammar and irregular updating. Even so, this was one of my hardest worked on fanfics and the longest one and I don't think I would have kept going if it hadn't been for my readers. Thank you all so much and I love you all. -Also sorry if this might be a crappy end to some people I don't know, I liked it, but of course, I did hehehe *wink*- THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!


Gaara fixed his regal robes on him comfortably and stared into the tall mirror. His hair was now the length it had been when he first left Suna. His face was just as untouched by the sun and his poised stance came back to him as if it had never left.

He exhaled softly and walked to his bed-chamber window looking out over the city. Soldiers patrolled through the streets as they were ordered, some with families following closely behind them. Sasuke left with Shikamaru to ready a ship to travel to Konoha.

The council, despite their attempts to convince them of war, refused to allow them to prepare their defenses and equip their soldiers with tools that would be adequate for battle. They refused the possibility of war at this time and encouraged them to approach Konoha council members with proper order.

"Do you really think this is will have any weight over Orochimaru?" Temari questioned Gaara as she came beside him. Her footsteps so quiet he didn't hear her enter the room.

He looked to her, "Temari, I'm not doing this because I want to," Gaara crossed his arms and looked out to the distant ocean, "I'm doing this because I need to keep the council in order as well as my people safe,"

"So you're to follow the council's orders?" Temari remarked with a sharp, condescending tone.

"For once, I think their idea is right," A smile appearing on his face.

Temari frowned confused, "What idea?"

Gaara met her confused gaze with a knowing look, "He will face the consequences of his crimes as the council have outlined to me,"

"Their outline just spoke of you telling the Konoha council the consequences for his crimes against Suna and to take appropriate action to ensure that…" Temari trailed off.

"Suna is represented properly, not like that of a warlike country, but that of an outstanding nation," Gaara stated calmly as he looked back out the window, "Such a thing will produce the desired outcome,"


Gaara waited as their wagons approached Orochimaru's council hall. It wasn't far from sight of the port, but they were waiting when they arrived. Despite Orochimaru's leverage, the establishment of councils had its worth and when the word was received that Orochimaru had made an attempt on Gaara's life and war would ensue, the council immediately sought Gaara's attention.

Orochimaru's ships had withdrawn shortly after they received this invitation. Gaara knew that Orochimaru would play carefully in the eyes of his lower peers and he no longer held relevance to the undersea god, so that would not play to his advantage. The odds were gradually stacking against him.

Breathing in deeply as the wagon came to a stop, Gaara cleared his mind before opening the door of the wagon. Stepping down onto the stone street, he glanced around and only saw guards lined up along the steps and up to the entrance. He walked forward leaving room for Kankuro to step out behind him, followed by two of the council members, who were required to be present and would be the only ones allowed to speak.

A man quickly came out from the entrance and rushed down to Gaara bowing in greeting him, "Your majesty Kankuro, prince Gaara, and council, I will escort you to the council room. I am at your service during your stay here in Konoha, if there is anything you need I will attend to it as promptly as I am able and I will be sure to retrieve for you everything you request!" He spoke quickly and glanced up for acknowledgment.

Kankuro stepped forward, "See to it that we do not waste time with your chatter, there are more important matters as I do not intend on remaining here for more than a few hours!" He boomed and started up the stairs. The man jumped and quickly ran ahead of him attempting to correct his error. Gaara joined them in rushing up the stairs, followed by the two council members.

The walk to the council room was quiet, excluding the sounds of their footsteps on the marbled floor. Reaching the opened doors of the council room, the silence filled with the chattering of the council, whose voices they could hear outside the hall. Conversations ranged from solving this altercation to dreading the interaction with people from such a violently known country.

The man, breathing heavily from their quick pace, knocked four times on the door. The room fell silent as they stepped inside with all eyes set on them.

Gaara kept his eyes on Orochimaru as soon as he stepped in the room. Walking forward, they approached directly in front of him and the council leader. The council was shifting in their seats as they got closer until they stopped several feet in front of Orochimaru and the three heads of the council, which included the council leader.

"It is unfortunate to see you on such an ill occasion," The middle, taller man spoke. He stood and bowed to them, followed by the other two.

Kankuro waited until they were seated before he motioned for Gaara to come forward. Gaara stepped forward turning his attention to the council leader, ignoring the heavy gaze Orochimaru laid on him.

"We are here to enforce the punishment due to Orochimaru's offenses against our nation. He is accused of hiring the pirate Sasuke in a conspiracy to overthrow the nation of Suna. Other actions are as followed, abandoning our prince to the elements at Ningyo Island, attempting murder to allies who were attempting to return our prince to Suna, attempted murder of our prince's mother, and attempted murder of our prince Gaara twice," One of the Suna council members announced loudly. He stood with his chin raised and back straight.

Quiet murmurs amongst the council filled the room immediately after for several minutes. It was something both Kankuro and Gaara were accustomed to with their own council.

One of the council leaders stood and tapped hard on the podium in front of him, "Silence as we speak," He ordered and glanced around waiting for the others to become silent.

"We will discuss the matter of punishment for these crimes at a later date and you can trust that we will ensure Orochimaru pays for his crimes," The man spoke and started to sit back down.

"That is not in accordance with our treaty," The other Suna council member spoke out and stepped forward beside Kankuro. She stared hard at the lead council member as he straightened up.

"What?" He asked curtly.

"In accordance to the treaty that every council member, including Orochimaru, signed with Suna two years ago," She announced loudly, "Should a law within the treaty be violated, the undersigned must immediately surrender any and all criminals or items that violated the treaty,"

"The undersigned agrees that they will give power over punishment for the criminal actions to the wronged party, within a sanctioned time frame deemed fitting by the members of the Suna council," She paused and glanced back at Gaara, then continued, "Orochimaru has committed the heinous act of conspiracy and action to murder prince Gaara of Suna. You will surrender Orochimaru and all of his cohorts who participated in this plot,"

The leader slowly sat down, he stared ahead at them unsure of how to proceed. Orochimaru gripped the arms of his chair as he met Gaara's gaze. Gaara could see the anger rising in him and he did not waver under the intense gaze.

"What sort of barbaric manner is this for a country whose council is regarded so highly of?" A council member spoke out, earning gasps and shocked eyes in his direction.

"It is the same manner that you and everyone in this room agreed to when you signed this treaty!" She exclaimed and did not remove her eyes from the head leader, "I can only assume that you read our treaty and signed it. I can only assume you to know how barbaric it is and how going against it, would be a mistake you would come to regret. Yet here we are, the only ones fully understanding the severity of these crimes and being the ones who will take the criminal and serve justice upon him!" She exclaimed and breathed in deeply.

"We are not without pity for your people. We are not going to allow such rampant, violent behavior continue in such an ill-maintained manner," She growled, her anger brimming, "If you are so envious of our council I suggest you take our example and hold your leader accountable for his disgusting actions, by submitting him to suffer for the crimes he has committed,"

Gaara clenched his fist, wishing he could commend her right then. Even though she had not said much on their quick trip here, her words were in power invoking and it had surprised him to hear her speak with such vigor. The other council member seemed off-put by her outburst and brazen attitude, but he did nothing to object.

"You ask more for mercy and Suna will not tolerate such childlike requests on such a momentous matter," She spat before reaching into her bag and taking out a small satchel of sand, "If my understanding is correct and you are indeed refusing to comply to surrender the criminal. Following our treaty, our offense is no longer singular to the criminal, but to the entire council, all of whom have broken the treaty and will face the penalty of death,"

She turned the satchel down and sand began pouring from it. The council members shifted and started to stand, but strings tied their wrists and pulled them back down into their seats. Gaara wanted to look around at the performance, yet he refrained to show any unawareness of the deed. He knew Kankuro was certainly the mastermind, but he kept his gaze centered on Orochimaru, who did not move an inch, rather he remained motionless keeping his gaze on Gaara.

The council leader panicking, "Stop, stop this…we will comply with your treaty…we are not against awarding Suna all that is demanded due to the grievances that our former ruler, Orochimaru committed," He confessed and the strings withdrew immediately from the council members and targeted Orochimaru, who didn't fight their binding.

The leader exhaled sharply and rubbed at his wrists, "What are your other demands?"

"As it states in our treaty, you will relinquish the prisoners that Orochimaru subdued to us," She told him starkly.

To that, Orochimaru burst with laughter. All eyes went to him as he laughed loudly, before he grinned widely at Gaara, "What's left of them you mean," His laughter sickening to hear.

Gaara clenched his hands tighter and sand slowly started covering Orochimaru until he was engulfed in it. The council leader looked to them, fear mirrored in his eyes.

"Those are the only requirements that we request and we will see to attaining the prisoners now," She spoke harshly. She turned on her heel and started to the door. Gaara followed behind her, while the other council member and Kankuro remained where they stood.

The council leader raced to meet them at the door and to lead them to the prison. The rest of the council sat in petrified shock as the engulfed Orochimaru was pulled from his seat. Then Kankuro and the other council member dragged him to the door.

Approaching the first cell, Gaara wasn't prepared for what he saw and neither was his council member or the council leader. Two bodies lay still on the ground in one of the larger prison cells. The guard opened the cell door and averted his eyes from the disgusted glare of the council leader.

Rushing into the cell, Gaara went to Kakashi's side first. His body was cold and limp, but as Gaara attempted to move his body, he heard Kakashi grunt softly. A heavy odor, which greeted them when they opened the prison door, now seemed to be growing in its pungent stench.

"He is still alive,"

"This one is too, but only by the gods' graces," the council member spoke quietly. Gaara moved over to her and saw Neji's body jerk slightly, his face deathly pale.

Gaara gently moved his fingers over the multitude of raised veins that popped out from his temple and disappeared at his eyes. It looked unusual and grotesque at its unnatural appearance. He looked to her with a pained expression. She nodded in response to his unspoken concern.

"Send for our guards," She told the council leader. He nodded mortified and covering his mouth as the putrid smell got stronger. He took off running towards the door gagging quietly.

"…your majesty…"

Gaara looked to the council member and saw her holding a large fang. He took it from her and stared down at it.

"He must have used Manda's poison to do this to them…a lethal dosage no doubt," He mumbled clenching the fang in his hand before throwing it against the wall, hearing the soft echo of it hitting the ground.

"Will we be able to recover them?" She asked quietly, her eyes grew wide and she lowered her head, "Your majesty, will we be able to recover them?" She corrected herself quickly and kept her head lowered, but her eyes glanced up.

Gaara nodded and exhaled, "I am hopeful that Sasuke will be able to help them in some way," He stood up as he heard footsteps coming back.

He stepped out of the cell and saw the council leader running towards him in a panicked state.


Sasuke waited as patiently as he could, but the longer they were gone, the tenser he became. He knows how powerful Orochimaru is and even if the council surrendered him to Suna…he wouldn't leave without a fight. The worse bit of it all being that he couldn't be there with Gaara.

He watched the few people who were walking around the port. They eyed the ship and quickened their pace away from the port. Shikamaru and Kiba were both standing on the other side of the ship. Kiba was leaning over and talking with someone in the water.

Sasuke walked over to them and looked over to see a familiar face smiling up at them. He grimaced and crossed his arms, "What are you doing here?" He asked the mermaid.

She giggled and leaned back in the water, "I was hoping to see Gaara, but this handsome fellow says he's not here," She winked at Kiba, who turned a light shade of pink, before huffing and turning around from her.

"She said that she wanted me to fetch him like I'm some sort of messenger boy," He complained crossing his arms with a small grimace, "I told her that he wasn't here and she started spouting nonsense about wanting me to come down closer and I'm not going to be swayed into her trap,"

"Did he say trap? I am not like other mermaids, who lure you to a watery grave," She argued, earning their attention, "I will be sure to push your body to the shore when I am finished with giving you the best death, anyone could offer, drowning in the pleasures of ecstasy!" She laughed wickedly, before diving into the water.

Kiba shivered and shook his head, "Honestly, to think Gaara is related to those creatures is beyond my own belief," He remarked and looked at Sasuke, "By the way, er…Sasuke are you and Gaara…"

Sasuke's eyes raced to Kiba, "What?" He snapped recalling that Kiba had seen Gaara in his bed naked.

"Ah nevermind…what are you going to do when Gaara has to go back to being the sand prince?" He asked and crossed his arms.

Shikamaru joined him in looking for an answer from Sasuke. He thought it over for a moment, realizing that his life would change. He lowered his gaze somberly and shifted to face the sea.

"What punishment must I endure?"

Gaara hesitated a moment before speaking, "…I am satisfied living life like this with you…yet my heart is not deaf to the calls of Suna," He moved his hands to Sasuke's cheeks as his eyes nervously centered on his, "I…want to introduce you to my sister and brother…as my fiancé,"

Sasuke couldn't help his heart stopping at those words, nor his eyes as they grew wide to the idea. He slowly moved from over Gaara. He sat on the edge of the bed while his mind went wild with thoughts of marrying Gaara and it was then he recalled they were from different worlds.

He knew it didn't matter, he promised to live the rest of his life with him. Yet…he had not realized that perhaps it would mean giving up another part of his life. That, he knew was why he felt struck to his knees. A punishment, he thought, would be to remain on land, but not so while having Gaara at my side…

A gentle touch came on his shoulder. He looked to see Gaara had sat up and moved to sit beside him. His hands comfortably rested in his lap, yet he nervously tapped his fingers together.

"Is it a difficult decision to make?"

Sasuke leaned over to his precious lover and buried his face into the nape of Gaara's neck. His lips bit gently at his pale flesh, "Punish me then, capture me and keep me chained in your walls," Sasuke breathed into Gaara's ear softly as his hands pushed Gaara back onto the bed, he stared down hungrily at his blushing and naked lover.

"If that is my punishment, I will walk proudly into my prison and die there unsatisfied with the length of time you have sentenced me to,"

A smile grew at the corners of his lips, "I will be taken into Gaara's palace, you two may very well leave now as I will no longer sail the seas as I have done,"

Kiba groaned and began fumbling in his pockets. Sasuke looked to him curiously until he saw him hand Shikamaru a bag of coins.

"You bet on my decision?" Sasuke asked annoyed at the subject of the gamble.

Shikamaru glanced up at him after tucking the coins away, "If he wasn't able to see what was happening, I would be foolish to not mess with him," He spoke before a smile appeared. It was the first one Sasuke had seen on Shikamaru's face in a long time, "Besides, I follow my captain, I would not bet against your good fortune,"

"Or Gaara's good fortune?" He asked with a confident smile.

"When will this council thing be over?" Shikamaru asked turning around to face the city. Sasuke frowned at the subject change.


Gaara ran quickly from the castle dungeon with the council leader close behind him. He could hear the loud crashing sounds from behind them. It was slowly gaining on them. He left his council member in the prison to do her best with Shukaku to get Neji and Kakashi out from there.

He heard the council leader stumble down and he stopped immediately. He turned to see the leader getting up from the ground and further down in the hallway the large, deep purple-colored snake slithering towards them. Gaara grabbed the council leader's arm pulling him up.

They continued running until they came to the back of the building. Gaara looked back and saw the snake had gotten larger and was hitting against the walls. Its mouth opened revealing two large fangs. He pulled the leader out the door with him and they ran.

"We need to get to the port now!" Gaara shouted and he felt the council leader pull from his grip.

"This way!" He shouted and jumped into a wall of bushes. Gaara did the same and fell to the ground. He coughed and felt someone pull him to his feet. He watched as the leader hurriedly pulled him to go with him.

The crashing sound breaking the silence outside sent them running faster. Gaara watched as they rounded the corner and he could see Naruto's ships waiting off in the ocean. They had certainly come to be their cavalry. His eyes settled on the ship straight ahead. He couldn't see anyone on the deck, which was a slight comfort to him.

"Oh shit!" He heard the council leader shout and watched as he passed him. Gaara picked his pace up more, but he knew he couldn't keep this up much longer.

The port wasn't too far, he could see some people coming up from inside the ship. He smiled relieved to recognize one of them as Sasuke. Looking to his left he saw the alleys, the same ones in the map Neji had given them when they planned to rescue his mother.

"Gaara!" He heard Sasuke call out.

Gaara split from the council leader and started running down an alleyway. He dodged the different things in the alley, hearing a chilling hiss coming from somewhere close to him. He stopped and turned around to run back to the street. From behind him, it sounded like a building crashing. He glanced back and saw a huge snake rattle slip away. He kept running and the hissing came again. He stopped just as the same tail slammed down in front of him.

He looked around, then up, and saw the opened mouth of the snake. He took off running to the street and heard the head crash into the building. He climbed over the rubble the tail had left and returned to the main street.

"Gaara!" He took off running in the direction he heard his name. The dust from the building hindered his sight for the moment.

This has been enough time. He thought as he ran to the port. He saw Shikamaru helping the council leader onto the ship. Sasuke was doing all he could to get off the ship, but Kiba tried to keep him on the ship as best he could.

Suddenly the entire ground shook and Gaara fell forward tumbling to the ground. He coughed and got up as quickly as he could when the ground shook again. He stumbled back onto the ground and looked around but could only see dirt around him.

Down.

The dirt cleared, falling to the ground, and he saw the snake about to strike him. He felt someone grab his hand and pull him out of the way of the snake's bite. He didn't know how, but he was again running. He looked to see Sasuke running in front of him, his hand gripping Gaara's hand.

"Go towards the water!" Gaara shouted, not looking back for the snake.

"It's a fucking snake!" Sasuke yelled back.

"Trust me!" Gaara said and pulled his hand from Sasuke. Sasuke quickly grabbed it again tightly and pulled Gaara closer to him.

"You're not going to leave my damn side!" He shouted and moved his direction away from the ship.

They stopped on the wooden planks of the portside. Gaara looked back and the snake was closing in on them. He pulled Sasuke with him running towards the end of the pier. He looked out to the water and saw two mermaids swimming from the port. He looked to the other side and stopped.

Sasuke tried to run forward but stopped when he felt his hand tugged in Gaara's hand. He looked at him to see Gaara staring down at the wooden planks, "Gaara, come on!" He shouted and pulled on Gaara.

Gaara ran with him and gripped Sasuke's hand tightly and they both prepared to jump into the water but stopped just before the end of the pier at the sight of jagged rocks and various dripping debris below the pier. Gaara looked to the ocean and saw a large rise of water.

He pulled Sasuke to him and moved so they were against the wall. Everything went dark and the echoing sounds of water beating against the surface Gaara was frightening. They had close their eyes bracing for the impact, and when they opened them, they couldn't see anything.

"Where are we?" Sasuke asked quietly and pulled Gaara closer to him.

"Inside Shukaku" Gaara replied.

"What?" Sasuke asked

Gaara chuckled, "No its sand I used to protect us just in case the plan didn't go right," He said, slowly the sand fell around them revealing choppy waves beating against the pier.

The entire pier was soaked with water as well as the buildings close by. Their ship was further away and rocking in the water. Gaara looked to the ocean, his heart stopping in his chest.

Far from the shore, his mother's father held the large snake in his hands. He was much larger in comparison and more so than he had been when Gaara last met him. Sasuke fell back slightly at the giant merman god. He moved closer to Gaara and pulled to him protectively, earning a gentle smile from his lover.

His mother's father glared down at the limp snake, then looked to Gaara. He stared a moment before making a gentle nod to him. In a flash, he dove under the surface splashing water onto the city like the downpour of short storm.

Gaara smiled and looked at Sasuke wearing a perplexed expression, "What? I thought…"

"Your majesty!" Gaara moved Sasuke and walked to meet the council leader running to him. Sasuke looked out at the water then shook his head not wanting to question it knowing Gaara would explain to him what had just happened.

He started towards Gaara and the council leader and saw the leader grabbing Gaara's shoulders and hugging him. He frowned and quickened his pace to them.

"Your majesty, I…I don't know what to say about all of this…I just I am so relieved you are unharmed," He said moving his hands on Gaara as if checking him, but his hands were too physical. Gaara had forgotten such an invasive touch, but before he could say anything he felt someone pull him away from the council leader.

Sasuke moved between them and cleared his throat, "Don't touch my prince so intimately," He growled.

The council leader frowned, "My apologies your majesty…I simply wanted to ensure your safety," He spoke around Sasuke, who would move so that he couldn't see Gaara. He smiled for a moment and stepped out from behind Sasuke.

"Council leader…I want to check on my brother and council members," He told him and started walking to the building with Sasuke close to him.

"Ah yes of course! May I ask…what…er who was that?" He asked as they walked.

"The god of the sea," He told him flatly, "He wanted the man who attempted to kill both his daughter and grandson…and I gave my word to deliver the man responsible and I have kept it,"

The council leader stopped as he thought over what Gaara said and his face went pale. He swallowed hard and looked to Gaara who had stopped and turned back to look at him.

"See to it that you no longer make attempts on my life," He spoke coldly, "Suna will assist in providing leadership for your country until a new leader is chosen with agreement from the other councils, until then I am quite sure you know where the prison is,"


Epilogue~

Months had passed since Gaara came back into his castle. He walked through the long hallway as he had done for so many years. Yet, today was different.

Dressed in formal Suna garb, he delicately touched the hem of his outfit. It was sheer but layered so as to not expose him. Sasuke both loved and hated the way it hung on Gaara's hips, a fact he has stated when they were married and when he found out he must wear them again today.

He approached the banquet hall adorned with the common flowers of Suna. The entire party of people stood as he stepped into the room. He stopped and turned to reach his hand out to Sasuke standing by the door.

Sasuke was dressed as refined as he allowed the Suna tailors to dress him. It was a cleaner, crisper appearance than what he had worn when Gaara first met him. He was clean-shaven and his hair trimmed neatly. A look that Gaara often felt envious to have other people see of him, yet he wouldn't speak of it to Sasuke. He knew the raven-haired man would tease him incessantly about it.

Gaara smiled, as he was pulled from his thoughts when their hands touched and he led Sasuke to the royal table. Sasuke stayed a step behind Gaara, as he was instructed. They stood by their chairs and looked to the doors that Gaara had just come through waiting.

He looked to the center of the room and smiled seeing Neji standing with his now white-colored eyes looking in the direction of the door. His regal military outfit was simply for show of his previously held status in Orochimaru's former military. A faction that was resolved after Naruto became leader over Konoha.

Neji had lost his eyesight a month after coming to Suna because of Manda's poison. Kakashi only lost sight in one of his eyes, but he was still able to see some shadows. They were lucky, as Sasuke repeated while helping them recover, something only he could know.

Gaara looked back at the doors as they opened. Sakura stepped into the room after a moment of standing at the door. The entire room roared with clapping as she reached her hand out to Kakashi. He stepped out and took her hand gently, being careful not to step on the elegant gown she wore. They smile at each other and he walked her to Neji's side.

Gaara stared out at the kingdom and exhaled slowly. His gaze dancing over the landscape he had once grown so tired of seeing outside of his window. This castle seeming like a thick glass case keeping him trapped inside with the same sight of the sandy hills, then towering mountains further off.

His eyes lowered to his own ring, from his marriage with Sasuke. Smiling, he twisted it around, remember that night when they kissed by the shore. The cheers from both the sea and the shore enveloped them. The splashes of water from the mermaids brought them back into the moment from the bliss they drifted into while they kissed.

Gaara heard soft footsteps and he looked over his shoulder to see Sasuke press his lips to his gently.

"I'm not sure what was so great about the ocean," Sasuke mumbled as he kissed his prince, "I'm beginning to forget all I grew to know about it,"

Gaara smiled, "It once belonged to the Uchiha bloodline,"

"Now it belongs to those damn mermaids," Sasuke growled. Gaara smiled knowing he was referring to the girls who enjoyed riling him up.

"You know they enjoy seeing you angry," Gaara pulled from him to gaze up into his eyes, "You haven't seen them since our wedding, what has you in such a state?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Naruto has told me about their ridiculous lies and jokes towards me," He scoffed, "Damn mermaids, each is more annoying than the last,"

"My mother," Gaara spoke softly and touched Sasuke's lips, "She would find your words far too unruly and unbecoming for her son,"

Sasuke pulled Gaara close to his body so that he heard a soft moan escape from Gaara's lips. He leaned his head down kissing Gaara's neck, "I'm not afraid of such a goddess, she allowed me to claim you as my husband, my precious prince," He bit Gaara's neck pressing his leg between Gaara's legs and against his crotch.

Gaara moaned again and gripped the fabric of Sasuke's shirt. He quickly found Sasuke's shoulders as he felt his body slipping and pressing more against Sasuke, "Sasuke…someone may see," Gaara whimpered as Sasuke touched him gently.

"She would certainly find your deliciously lewd body uncouth and scandalous," He whispered and pressed his head against Gaara's head. His hand moving against Gaara's member over the delicate fabric, "Not that I would ever let her or anyone else see you so vulnerable. It is the side of you I wish you only give to me,"

"It's yours," Gaara whispered, "It's all yours and always will be until I die,"
