Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, although if I did #&#$#$#(enter explicit material here)#$$$$#$#. I don't own Gaara although if I did, I would share him with my friends, and we'd $#!$#$$(more explicit material)#!#$$!#!#. I don't own Neji, but if I did, I would hug him, cuz he looks sad sometimes. He's kinda boring though...Sorry Neji. I don't own Autumn's Monologue, or The Fiction We Live, by From Autumn to Ashes, although if I did, I would be very proud of myself for making something so magnificently beautiful (although I bet they think it's just another song). It touched me. (Take that as you will!dramatic flourish)
Chapter 2: The Fiction Gaara Lives
Two months before, on the balcony of the kazekage's office...
Gaara stood, passively looking over the arid city below. Words seem to fail to describe how he felt, yet he continued to write, hoping that somehow his lavender eyed lover would respond.
You might be just what I need.
No I would not change a thing.
Been dreaming of this so long
But we only exist in this song.
He looked upon himself with accusing eyes. How could he have done such a horrid thing? For the good of his country? If his heart was held elsewhere, what was so good? Neji was right to leave. Yet, he missed him like the earth misses the sun.
The thing is, I'm not worth the sorrow.
And if you come and meet me tomorrow,
I will hold you down, fold you in
Deep, deep, deep in the fiction we live.
Every letter he sent Neji was filled with want; greed. He wanted so bad for his lost love to return. He had only wanted the best for his people. He wanted peace between two great nations. He wanted, wanted, wanted. He never gave.
I break in two over you
I break in two
And if a piece of you dies,
Autumn I will bring you back to life.
His greed was what had driven him. Now it was time to give. He went to his desk, pulled out a piece of sand colored paper, and began to write in green colored ink...
Of course I see you
I do.
A/C:(author's closing) This is the final chapter. I know, cut off ending, but it is up to you , the reader, to decide whether of not Neji accepts him. I may write a bonus chapter that has the Green Ink Letter, but I don't have the mindset to do it now. "For me the grief is still too near."
DTD: Thank you, Legolas.
Matto: You're welcome.
DTD: Take off the blonde wig. You look like a girl.
Matto: pouts
Kat: I will be writing a new story called Gaara's Letters. It will be a mix of songfic and normal, but I'm not sure what they will say, so I can't put up any spoilers. Sorry.
Keith: Isn't that a good thing?
Kat: Oh, you're right.
