'Letters from a lover to a lover'

Naruto was walking home from the store when he saw that he had mail in his mail box. Naruto opened it and saw the letter he had been waiting for. Naruto grabbed it and ran into the house. Gaara and Sasuke ,who were on the couch talking, Watched as Naruto ran into the house and ran up the stairs to his room shutting his door in the process. Sasuke looked at Gaara.

"Letter from Itachi." Gaara said.

____________________________The letter _________________________________

Dear Naruto,

In the moon I see your face. Even though the battle grows closer I can't seem to concentrate on training. You keep popping into my mind . I really miss you. We all can smell death as the wolves come closer. Some times when I look at the stars I think of you and of what you are doing. Are you looking at the same stars Naruto? Do you see the same moon? Do you miss me as much as I miss you ? I want to hear your voice, see your eyes, touch your face, I want to be with you. Naruto do you cry for me as I cry for you?

Love, Itachi

____________________________Naruto_____________________________________

Naruto looks down at the paper he just read and watched as a tear fell onto it. He missed Itachi even more now. And Itachi missed him to. Naruto wished that he was a vampire so he could fight by Itachi's side. But he knew he couldn't.

___________________________Itachi_______________________________________

Itachi was looking at the moon thinking of Naruto when someone walked up to him and handed him a letter. Itachi took it and nodded thanks to the vampire and the vampire walked off. Itachi looked at the letter and saw that it was from Naruto. His heart gave a little squeeze as he opened it and started reading it.

___________________________The letter____________________________________

Dear Itachi,

The moon looks sad. Even the stars look sad. I can no longer cry. My eyes have grown red and puffy and can longer produce tears . Though my heart still cries. My heart misses you. How can I see the same moon? The same stars? When I'm facing death in a few days? I wish that you were beside me or that I was beside you. I hate being away from you and your heart. How can I not cry for you? But I am not the only one that misses you it seems. Your little brother misses you as well.

Love, Naruto

_____________________________End of letter_______________________________

Itachi looked at the paper as a tear fall on to the paper. Naruto missed him too! Itachi was both happy and sad. He knew this war was going to be longer now. But he had hope. Naruto and his brother Sasuke were waiting for him. It would have made him happy to know that but war was drawing closer. Death was breathing down their necks and Itachi had a feeling that it would not end well. But he had to see Naruto, but what if he died in this battle and Naruto wasted his life waiting on him to never return? Itachi couldn't do that to Naruto and Itachi knew right then and there, when he pulled out the piece of paper that he was going to do something that he really didn't want to do.

____________________________Naruto ___________________________________

Naruto looked down at the paper that Gaara had given him from Itachi and stared at it. Itachi couldn't do this to him! Not right now! He couldn't stand being alone! Not again! Naruto threw the paper across the room and ran to his room. Gaara picked up the paper and read it.

____________________________The letter___________________________________

Dear Naruto,

Never are we going to ever be together. We can't do it with out hurting other people. You need to move on and to forget about me as I will forget about you. I hope to never see you again in my life or yours.

~Itachi

_______________________ _End letter___________________________________

Gaara looked at the letter disbelieving. It did not sound like something Itachi would say. Gaara damn well knew that Itachi loved Naruto. 'What the hell was Itachi thinking!?' Gaara then noticed something on the back of the note. Gaara flipped it over and saw that it was a bunch of numbers. Gaara took the note to His room that he and Sasuke were sharing and sat down at the desk. Sasuke came up behind Gaara and read the letter.

"WTF! How could Itachi say that! It doesn't sound like Itachi at all!" Sasuke said.

"Exactly…" Gaara said as he looked at the letter.

"Exactly? Exactly what?"

"It doesn't sound like Itachi. Itachi's doing something and I think the number so the back have some thing to do with it. Though I have no idea what they mean."

"A code maybe?"

"Seams like it. But I'm not sure."

"What are we going to do? Is Itachi lying? Or has he gone insane?"

"I'm not sure. I need a few days to figure it out. Can you keep Naruto from killing him self while I try and de-code this?"

"Sure leave it to me." Sasuke said as he walked out of the room.

Gaara looked back at the paper, back at the numbers.

___________________________The numbers__________________________

.20.15.-9.-.-25.15.21.º 2.21.20.-9.-.-.4.-20.8.5.-.7.8.20.-15.6.-25.15.21.-.9.14.7.-.-.-.9.14.7.-6.15.18.-13.5.° .19.5.-..14.4.° 25.15.21.-1.18.5.-13.25.-.-1.14.4.-13.25.-.19.° 25.15.21.-1.18.5.-13.25.-.°

Gaara looked one more time at the numbers. 'What the hell could they mean!?' Gaara knew that it would take a long while and he hoped that Naruto could hold on until he did. Gaara then went on his way trying every way he could to de-code the mystery of Itachi's weird behavior. Gaara knew that he needed to do this for Naruto. He couldn't stand seeing him cry and be sad, not again.
