Chapter 5 hidden plans

No words could describe what Naruto was feeling right now. Not a word in the world could even come close. As he held Sasuke close to him he didn't know what to think or feel. Such fulfillment from one person seemed impossible. He lightly touched Sasuke's face feeling his warmth spread into his fingers and beyond that. Having Sasuke with him filled his very soul; ever fiber of his being craved this man in his arms. He didn't know why he was crying when he was so happy, but yet he couldn't bring himself to stop. His heart was to full of feelings for Sasuke to do anything else. And all this time Sasuke had been feeling the same emptiness he had. He tightened his arms around the boy he loved so much.

Neji stopped telling his tale when he noticed his audience was no longer paying any attention to him. Even though it was rude of Naruto to not pay attention Neji understood. And he also knew this wasn't a moment to ruin or interrupt. He quietly bowed his head then slowly stood to leave the room. In the ways only a ninja could he left the room without as much as a sound being uttered. When the door was finally firmly closed behind him did he let out his breath out. A sigh accompanied his exhale as he leaned back on the door and closed his eyes. Such a stressful year this had been. But even though it had been rough it had also been a lot of fun. Sure it had been a very long journey to find Naruto. But now they had finally found him, and here of all places. Neji smiled in contentment. His mission was finally accomplished so now all that was left to do was go home.

"Well Sasuke I guess this is good bye." Even though he didn't love Sasuke like Naruto did, to an extent he loved him just as much. To him Sasuke had become his best friend and almost like a bother to him. Sasuke was now someone who was special to him. "Hn who would ever have thought I would regret doing the right thing. Be happy guys." Neji sighed again but this time he pushed off the door and walked down the hall. He would tell Gaara he planed to leave in the morning. This way he would be long gone before Sasuke was even awake. He knew he couldn't say good bye in person. It would hurt to much. Besides Neji was never one to be sentimental, so long as he could avoid it that is.

In Gaara's office!!!

Gaara sat in his chair looking out at his village. It had grown so much in resent years. His reflection starred back at him through the window with the same expression he always had. And as he looked at his own face he realized he hadn't changed at all. Reaching up he placed his hand on the warm window as he pondered this and many other things. Some were much more urgent then others. But one thought refused to stop pestering him. his face curled in agony as he said his name aloud.

Sasuke Uchiha.

How he hated that boy from the first time he met him. And now...now he was going to take Naruto away with him again. His hand on the window balled into a fist. It just didn't seem fair. He wanted Naruto to stay with him. Too stay with him forever. It had seemed like god had finally smiled upon him the night Naruto appeared before him so broken. Like an angel cast from heaven, its wings torn form his body. And all that remains is a broken man who knows not what to do. With out a second thought Gaara had taken Naruto in with him. He didn't care what anyone had to say. Naruto was his and his alone! And he would keep it that way no matter-

"knock-knock."

His thoughts were interrupted by a rapping on his office door. Resuming his usually calm demeanor he coolly responded.

"Enter." The door slid open and there before him was Neji. He bowed and Gaara motioned to the seat next to him. "So now what Neji? You have completed what you came here to do. Will you be staying a while or will you be departing tomorrow?"

Neji blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected Gaara to be so straight forward about this. "I am leavening in the morning and I hope that it will be ok to leave Sasuke in your care." Gaara's eyes darkened. His fears were realized now. Sasuke would be staying in the village even after Neji left. And since the two nations were still allies killing Sasuke would be out of the question. Well that is unless he wanted to start a war. Gaara rolled the idea over in his mind a few times then pushed it away. It was a topic to mull over when he was alone and had time. And right now he was presented with neither.

Neji noted every change in Gaara's body language as he spoke to him. "Gaara if I may," Neji paused and waited till Gaara motioned for him to continue. "Your not…are you in love with Naruto?" Gaara blinked and visibly tensed. He had never worded it as that. But now that Neji had said it. It seemed as though that would be the case. He… loved… Naruto. His eyes got wide as he said it in his mind.

Neji understood without Gaara saying it. Words were not needed to explain the feelings showing on Gaara's face. Neji looked away from Gaara. This road just kept getting rougher and rougher for Naruto and Sasuke. Maybe his mission wasn't over quite yet. Neji reached out and touched Gaara's hand. Gaara's gaze fell intensely on Neji's.

"Gaara I might not be the person who should tell you this, but you see... Naruto and Sasuke...Well...They are meant for each other. In so many different ways they love each other. I would go so far as to say need each other. And though you seem to love Naruto, you have to love him enough to let him go." Gaara starred at Neji aw struck. Neji... What was Neji saying? Naruto would have been his if Sasuke hadn't shown up. If only Sasuke would disappear. Anger seasoned with hatred flooded Gaara's mind. Neji sighed as he saw his words would not reach Gaara.

"Gaara I don't know of how much help I would be, but if you ever need someone to talk to, you can always just call and I will come here as soon as possible." Neji smiled a true friend's smile and stood to leave. Him and Gaara shook hands and said there good byes. But half way through the door Neji remembered something Sasuke had once said to him when he had asked Sasuke why he was looking for Naruto so hard.

It was one of those cold rainy days were all you could do was sit inside and ponder about your life. Where you are, what you plan to do, if it has any meaning. All the things you push from your mind until you have nothing better to do.

Sasuke had been starring out the window for hours just watching the rain cascade off the sill. The question had been bothering Neji for sometime now and he had nothing else to do.

"Hey Sasuke."

"Hum." Sasuke didn't deter from looking out the window.

"Sasuke I don't understand. Why do you look for this boy so hard even though you don't know any thing about him? I mean maybe he made the choice to have you forget about him." thought Neji didn't think it was likely that Naruto would really have wanted Sasuke to forget him. It was a possibility he had to consider. Sasuke didn't answer Neji for a long time so Neji assumed it was one of those topics you just can't discuss. No matter what kind of day it was. He hung his shoulders and stood to make dinner.

"I can feel him." Neji froze in his tracks. "I... I dream about him constantly. I think about him constantly it's like I live for him and him alone. And even though I don't know what he feels I can't change how I feel." Neji gave his full attention to Sasuke and reassumed his seat. But Sasuke hadn't turned to face him yet. "Neji if he had wanted to have me forget him…then." Sasuke stopped and seemed to be in deep thought.

But Neji wanted to know more. He needed to hear Sasuke say it. "Then what Sasuke?"

Sasuke turned his head around so he was facing Neji this time.

"Then why did he keep just my heart and leave my soul behind."

Neji blinked at Sasuke. Sasuke's words held such power over Neji's mind. It was like Sasuke was looking at a totally different world then he was in. he smiled in satisfaction. He had gotten the answer he needed cause this only proved that if there was ever two people who were truly in love with each other…it was Naruto and Sasuke.

When Neji recalled the feelings and emotions in the room that day he felt his mouth moving before he knew what he was saying.

"Gaara."

"Yes Neji."

"Sasuke once told me that Naruto had been holding his heart captive but had left his soul behind. I still can't understand the full meanings behind his words. But Gaara they live in a different world from us. And I don't think that we can ever be on the same plane as them no matter how hard we try. So don't try and ruin it." Gaara stood there in astonishment. Before Gaara could even retaliate Neji had left for his room. Gaara scowled at the closed door.

"Don't ruin it he says. Oh Neji you don't know how I would love to." Gaara paused. "But it seems that now a days you can't even higher a good assassin." Gaara looked over his shoulder and there in the chair was a young man in a huge sweatshirt with the hood up hiding his face and making predicting his body frame impossible.

"I thought we had a deal." Gaara sounded pissed but the man in the chair didn't even flinch. He causally reached out and plucked one of Gaara's pens off the desk twirling it between his slim thin fingers.

"Are you even listening to me…what the hell should I even call you?" the man looked up from his new toy showing a beautiful face. Sleek shape with perfect cream color skin only to be out done by his eyes that caught your soul in there depths. They were a deep green but framed around the green was a sapphire blue so deep it made jewels envious. Those rich colors only accented his beauty. Two bangs similar to Sasuke hung down to frame his face. But unlike Sasuke's they were a dirty blond color. Gaara was forced to wonder if this man was really a man. He was truly breath taking even when you were pissed at him.

The boy smiled at him answering Gaara's question without a care in the world. "You can call me what ever you want. And yes I am a man." His voice was clam and smooth as though he had rehearsed this speech a million times. Gaara rolled his eyes.

"I thought we had a deal."

"We did. Shame...Lord Gaara? No no I don't like that. Hum." The man was still spinning the pen in his hands while he spoke to Gaara. As though no matter what Gaara said it wouldn't faze him. Gaara didn't think the man was even talking about the same thing he was. And if he was he certainly was making no sense at all.

"Then what the hell happened?" suddenly the man's whole demeanor changed. He smiled as Child dose when given a present. His face brightened up 10 shades as he spoke.

"Well what of course. But of course you know what happened. He was so amazing Gaara you should have seen him fight. Didn't disappoint me for a moment. He's the one certainly." The man kept rambling not paying attention to Gaara being right there.

"Sir! Pay attention." The man blinked quickly sobering up and returned to spinning the pen like nothing had happened. Gaara growled in frustration. "We had a deal."

The man held up a finger to shush Gaara. "tisk tisk. We still have a deal. Not had my good sir. No I don't like that either. I will eliminate the person who plagues you. And as promised you will pay your price." Gaara chirped in.

"You still have yet to name what it is?" the man smiled wickedly.

"When you called for me you said you would give anything to have him out of your way. And you made a deal. I will take that which is most precious to you in exchange for that which you detest the most. This deal must be equivalent exchange. You understand don't you?" Gaara didn't trust this man. He hadn't from the first moment they met. But he needed him for now. Gaara had other plans up his sleeve once Sasuke was out of the way.

"Fine fine what ever you say. Since your last plane failed, what will you and your men do now?" suddenly the boy threw his head back and broke into hysterical laugher. "I don't see what's so funny." Gaara folded his arms over his chest. This was getting old fast.

"Ha-ha ohh you just don't understand do you. I have no need for men." Gaara raised a non-existent eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"They are simply for my entertainment. And if I have no use for them…well then they have no purpose. And people with out purpose should just die. So, I am starting over. All I need is me for my group. Followers will flock to me. For I am powerful and people seek out those who have power. Not only am I powerful but I intend to use my powers to befit me. But then again you know how that is don't you?" he gave a crocked smile to Gaara who scowled in return. This man was truly crazy.

The man stood and stretched still clutching Gaara's pen in his hand. "Well if you would excuse me. I must prepare for the next phase of my plan. You know how to find me." Gaara nodded. "Then I take my leave of you. Have a most horrible day to match your most awful ideas forming in your mind." The man waved as he jumped from the window and seemed to disappear in the process. Gaara's felt infuriated but at the same time grateful. He knew that this man would get the job done no matter what. But Gaara couldn't seem to figure out what was most important to him. He guessed it would be Naruto but the boy had promised the first day they met he would not lay a hand on Naruto during the process of exterminating Sasuke. So what could it be?

The man in question was walking down the street as happy as could be. Humming a little tune as he walked.

"What an idiot. He hasn't even figured out his price yet. Haha. Life couldn't be better. Soon... oh so very soon I will have what is rightfully mine." He reached his hand up towards the sun as though trying to capture it in his grasp. "So very soon." He walked down the street watching all the people around him as he did. He smiled even more if possible. No one suspected this cheerful boy as a threat but little did any of them know that this boy could so easily end all there lives. He gave one final laugh and turned down an ally. This time to disappear for real into the darkness of the night. "Just a little longer Naruto-kun. Just wait for me a little longer."

End for now….sorry it took so long. ok now the part were the bad guy is like no, no I don't like it. He's trying to figure out what to call Gaara. Cause Gaara has hired him but the boy has no respect for him. So this is your part. In your reviews I require 2 things.

1 What should he call Gaara. make it cute
