OKAY, So if you are reading this chapter, you reveiwed that last one right? YOU BETTER HAVE (crazed look in eyes)

"Get out!"
"Everybody out!"

"There's too many!" Lee had picked up a gun and was back-to-back with Shikimaru, firing warning shots to get the hell out. Ino did the same, pressed against the wall in a corner so nobody would be able to get behind her.

Gaara appeared out of the darkness and rushed over to Neji.

Men in black, making them almost invisible, rushed twards a sorce of fresh air that poured through a open door in the back where Sakura had entered. She was standing all alone, in the courner, tears flowing freely down her face, no expression.

Lee put his hand on her shoulder, and she leaned in to cry. He ran his fingers through her pink hair and wiped the blood off her forehead.

Ino and Shikimaru were huddled outside, as the choas died down, sitting on the pavement.

Naruto got up, limping, the room emptying slowly.

"Is he..." Gaara whispered, grabbing Neji's hand in his own. It was cold, colder than anything Gaara had felt before.

"Please no..." He turned to Sasuke with pleading eyes.

Sasuke's hair was hanging in his face. He shook his head, a simple, obviouse, 'I don't know."

Sasuke was pretty sure he was imagining when he saw Gaara's bright green eyes well with tears.
"Please no!"

They ran down his hot cheeks onto Neji's face.

"Please don't die! Remember what I told you, Neji?"
Sasuke stood up and rushed into Naruto's arms, stumbling as he walking. He collasped half way, crying.

"He saved our life and I couldn't save his! He saved us all!"
Naruto cried to, it was the worst sound, the most heartwrenching sound they could have ever heard.

He looked over at Gaara.

"I told you that my heart belongs to you!" He shouted, as if he wanted the whole world to know. Everybody looked at him, everybody pittied him, but he didn't care.

"I told you that my heart was yours and if you die...I die!" Temari rushed into the warehouse.

"Gaara I needed my car so I..." Her eyes fell opon her brother. Kankurro peered in. He had never seen Gaara cry before. He exchanged confused glances with Temari and she shrugged, both not undestanding the full extent of this situation.

"Please, I don't want to die, Neji! I love you so much I won't be able to live anymore or love anyone eles!"
Sakura couldn't stand the sobs and the tears.

Naruto sat by his side with Sasuke, grabbing Neji's other hand.

Everyone needs some one when they fall.

He unbottoned Neji's jaket and then his shirt.

I'll always help you because I know he's presiouse to you.

"What are you doing..." Gaara growled, his voice deep and menecing. "Don't even touch him!" He hissed.

And your preciouse to me...

Gaara burried his head in Sasuke's arm. The shorter, raven haired man sighed and cried with him.

Naruto took off his own t-shirt and pressed it against Neji's open wound to stop the bleeding.

"What the hell!" Gaara snapped. Sasuke shook his head to Gaara, and the red-haired boy instinctivly closed his mouth. Naruto had ignored him, and pressed his head against Neji's chest.

At first he heard nothing, but then the fainstest sound possible.

He wasn't even sure he had heard anything, but he couldn't be over-careful.

"Help me!" Naruto yelled, his voice echoing off the walls. "Neji is still alive!"

Your wounds are bleeding

Like tears running off my face

Your bleeding to death

It kills me to watch too

Watch when I can't do anything

You can't do anything either

It makes me want to cry to see you like this

Your probably hate it

The looks of pity that surround you

You were so proud

Your eyes were so fiery

If you had the strenth I know you

I know you would push us all away

Because you would say you wouldn't need

Anyone's help.

But you need it...
You need it.

I made that mistake

It's hard to say that I did

But its true, so I know how you feel

You think your all alone and that you can

Take care of yourself

But your not alone anymore,

Now that you have us

So you'll never be alone again.

So maby you'll let your guard down?

Maby you'll let us help you now?

Even though it's not like you have a choice anymore.

Sasuke fell asleep, he wasn't sure when or how or even where, but he rememberd vaugly that he wasn't in a hard, cold warehouse. And he felt for the first time in his life warm.

His head was throbbing, and his vision was shifting. His leg's were somewhat numb and his heart was unbearably heavy.

He didn't bother trying to sit up, the harsh light blinding his eyes, making him squint.

His thoughts started to clear, and he went over the events that had just happened.

He was afraid, so, so, afraid but Naruto came and...he helped...he helped and now Sasuke was safe.

But was that really how it happened?

Was everything really okay?
The relization was like a dagger to the heart.

It was Neji.
He was dead.

Or was he?
Sasuke sat up, and whirled around, his eyes wide and pannicked. He felt a hand on his shoulder, and turned, half-expecting it to be Naruto, but frowned as he noticed it was a nurse with a sympathetic look on her face.

She opened her mouth to say somthing, slowly, but Sasuke shook his head.

"Don't say it...Don't say it..." She nodded. "It's...okay...sir."

Sasuke grabbed her by the shoulders, though she was taller, and looked her strait in the eyes, a peircing glare that looked into her soul.

"Tell me he's not dead!"

She looked suprised, her blonde hair standing on edge, but then he noticed her name tag. It read: Yuka Mizuki: Pysciatric Ward.

Damn, Sasuke sighed. She had probably had been dealing with this all day.

"I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid I don't know..."

"Sasuke!"

Sasuke turned to see Kiba. The nurse walked away, looking about once.
"Kiba, your back!" He nodded and scanned his eyes over Sasuke's body.
"You look like hell." Sasuke sighed. He would be getting this all day and he knew it. He peered at his watch. It was 3:40 in the morning.

"Why are you here now?" Sasuke asked, puzzled. "It's really early." Kiba nodded.

"Wake-up call from Hinata. She was crying alot. I came down as soon as I could."

Sasuke hadn't even relizated Hinata was Neji's cousin, and they were unseperable. Kiba's eyes shinned concern for her. They had been close for a long time.

"..so..." Kiba sighed and shifted his footing. "I Heard from somebody-" And by somebody Sasuke knew he ment Naruto-"...that you...were..ummm..."

Sasuke sighed, not really consentrating on what he was saying.

"..that you are going out...with Naruto..." Sasuke blushed, and looked at his scuffed shoes.

"...y-yea..."

But then he remembered why he was here in the first place.

"Do you know where the fuck Neji is?" Kiba raised an eyebrow.

"I don't."

He looked Sasuke directly in the eyes. Sasuke sighed. Kiba walked over, his eyes tiered yet resiliant. He put a arm around Sasuke's slim shoulders.

"Don't get your hopes up, man."

Gaara didn't fall asleep though fatuige nagged at his body.

Neji's heartbeat was faint, he knew it too, though he wasn't allowd to see him yet, and he was getting sick of all the tears and kind words.

He just wanted to push them all away. He sighed.

He only wish he could lock eyes with Neji, one last time, feel his kiss on his lips, feel his hand in his hand and tell him how much he loved him.

Sasuke ran through the halls his heart beating out of his chest.

He hated the strange looks people were glaring as he rushed passed him, but he didn't care.

Neji...I'm so sorry...

He started to cry again, but he closed him eyes as he ran. It was like if he had stood outside in the freezing rain.

Suddenly, as if awkening him, he colided with someone and fell falt on the floor.

"Sorry..." He whispered, rubbing the top of his head and wincing. "I didn't meen too..."

"S'kay.." The other man said back, getting up and sticking out a hand. Sasuke peered up through his raven-haired bangs.

"Naruto!" He exclaimed, his heart racing. "You're okay!" He was close to hugging Naruto but he stopped short, noticing his arm up in a sling.

It was the moonlight I'm sure

Tears rushed to his eyes. Naruto tentivly reached out a finger to wipe them off his cheek.

"Why the hell are you crying now?" Naruto asked, puzzled. "There really is no need you know."

"Because it's my fault you're like that, Naru-chan!"

It was that who blinded me,

He put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and Naruto tried to give him a hug, but Sasuke shook him off.

"Sorry." Naruto whispered. "Bad time?"

But when the night leaves us

"It's okay." Sasuke brushed off his jaket. "Can you tell me where the hell Neji is?"
Naruto nodded and pointed down the hall.

I can see again

"There not telling me anything. I tried to beat some sence into one of them, but I almost was asked to leave.."

Sasuke laughed slightly.

I can see everything I did and I wish now

"Do you think...Naruto..." Sasuke adverted his eyes. Naruto knew immidiatly what he was trying to say. He sighed, deeply and thoughtfully. Finally, he spoke.

I would be dark forever
"...Sasuke, nobody knows. Right now...it's all up to Neji."

"Naruto...I miss him..."

And I'd never have to see the truth

"I know you do..." He pulled Sasuke into a hug. "Believe me..." He said quietly so Sasuke could barley hear. "I do too."

See that it's all my fault

Flashes of the fight that had gone on earlier rushed through Sasuke's mind.

He was an Angel...It was an Angel and now I'm dead...

Sasuke kissed Naruto a short, sweet goodbye and headed down the hall, leaving Naruto staring at him behind.

No...It wasn't an angel..It was just him

And I'm really alive.

Even if I somtimes wish I wasn't.

Sasuke kept runnning until he saw a familliar face.

"Gaara!" Sasuke breathed as he stopped runnning and stood infront of him. Gaara gave him a second glance, and sat down on the bench across from the door, one of his hands balled up into a fist, the other supporting his chin.

"Gaara..." He said, sitting down beside him. "I know you get this alot...but..."
"Save your pity, Sasuke. I don't need it."

"I'm guessing..." He started. "That they havn't let you see him. They havn't even told you if he's.." Sasuke stopped talking as Gaara's emrald eyes bore into his.

He looked away.
"So, Sasuke...what you said...was it true..?" He asked quietly. "That you really did...that?" Sasuke's heart felt weighed down for so long after keeping it a secret that it was suprising to feel the lightness.

He nodded.

"It's not like I'm proud of it, Gaara. But Somtimes..." Gaara looked at him from the side. "You have to own up to what you did..." He finished for him. Sasuke didn't reply.

"And it was true that...you're in love with Neji?" Gaara was the one who didn't reply now. But Sasuke saw the hint of a blush. He smirked.

"I knew it. It's just a little suprising." Gaara stared at him and lifted up his head. "What do you meen?"
"You're always so..." He stopped. He didn't need to finish. All he said was,

"Neji's a lucky guy."

Gaara smiled slightly.

"I Hope so, Sasuke. I really do."

After while of silence, a nurse came out of the room wearing a very solemn expression.

Sasuke gripped Gaara's hand. Gaara seemed shocked, by didn't pull away.

"I-I..." She started, his voice starting to become weak. Gaara's stomach lurched. "I don't know how to...tell you this..Sir..."

Sasuke felt Gaara's hand tence. He stood up and pushed her aside.

"You can't go in there, Sir!" She yelled and tried to pull Gaara back but he shoved her off.

His eyes were wide as he made his way through a few doctors crowding around Neji.

"Oh...Neji..."

He looked up at Sasuke who nodded and stepped back to the door. There was complete silence except for very faint and scarse beeping sound. But Gaara didn't care.

Neji's eyes's were closed, but his face was the opposite of peaceful.

His eyebrows were knitted and he was bitting his lower lip. His brunette hair was tussled and matted; the way Gaara had never seen it before. He took Neji's hand in his own and closed his eyes.

Sasuke motioned for the rest of the hostipal staff to leave.

"Your going to be...okay...I promise.." Gaara whispered, his voice quite. Naruto appeared in the doorway and it took a moment for him to relize what was going on.

Neji was dying.
