Warning: This story contains Shounen-ai/Yaoi/Slash-Fiction/boyxboy which is boys love, so if you are not open-minded or your religion does not approve of this, you might get scarred for life, so you should go back to the previous page. I hope you do read this and open your mind a little, but if not whatever.

A:N/Omg, this is the last chapter. I hope you enjoy it. I think I told you last chapter that this would be the last chapter to this story. I hope you enjoyed the story. I had fun writing this story. I really liked it, I really don't like the ending but I thought it would be beautiful. I hope you enjoy it. I'm going to Kelowna; It's going to be nice and sunny. Can't wait. I think this is the fourth chapter I've written this week. I know they're not long, I'm sorry. Today I can't think of anything to write about in this section. I don't think I'll pput one at the bottom, I don't know, I might, just to make it longer. So we got to Kelowna and guess what, I got the 3 newest issues of OTOMEN, and, drumroll please… A Naruto Shippuden poster! It is so cool! I got it at Spencers, my brother got a Bob Marley bracelet and a rosta wallet. I had lots of fun today. It was pretty cool, but sadly, like I said, this is the last chapter to this story, so hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it ^-^

Chapter 18 (The last Chapter)

Naruto's POV

"How many times must I tell you? Damn fox!" he stepped of and I jumped to a good distance right away. I conjured up two shadow clones and tried to make a Rasengan. I made another set in a place where he couldn't see them and let them wait in wait. I released the clones that helped me make the Rasengans and ran my fastest towards Obito. I ran towards him in front while the Shadow clone ran towards him from behind. As I guessed he dodged the first one. But, as I hoped he was so focused on the me in front of him that he didn't realize there was another me until the Rasengan burned a hole right beside his heart. My clones hand came through his chest through the hole and it went through one of his lungs.

Surprisingly he didn't die instantly. His eyes were wide and he stared at me in shock. His Sharingan disappeared and I knew Gaara would soon be free of his Jutsu as the effects wore off. Then I looked down just as he used a jutsu. He through his Kunai knife at me and it lodged itself into my heart. I fell to my knees and the last thing I heard was Obito's words as he died along with me.

"Die Nine Tails."…

Gaara's POV

I started to regain the control over my body and I flexed my muscles. I was barely aware of what was happening when I was under Itachi's Genjutsu but I was completely unconscious under Tobi's Genjutsu. I had barely even realised any time had passed. I found myself sitting alone in a throne like chair. I looked around and I was still in the cave 'I' had brought Naruto to earlier. I couldn't see anyone besides me, but the cave door was still closed so the others had to have been near. It was hard to see in the darkness from where I sat. I could barely see anything. There was barely any light in the cave, the only light seeped through the holes in the caved roof.

I looked around the cave and saw Sasuke and Itachi lying next to each other dead. They looked sad, both of them. Sasuke had always wanted his brother dead, and now it had finally happened. Then my eyes followed the trail of blood and saw Tobi and Naruto lying next to each other dead. They were lying in a puddle of blood. The blackish red of the blood stained their clothes.

"Naruto!" I screamed. I ran over to him as fast as my legs could carry me. I sat next to his side I checked his pulse and it faded under my fingers then it stopped. I felt the tears flowing down my face and I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand.

"Naruto… Naruto! Please don't leave me! I can't live without you!" I screamed. I put my face on his chest and cried into the fabric of his jacket. It was damp with my tears and his blood. I cried for a long time then got up and looked at his face. He had always looked so full of life during his shirt life. But now he looked lifeless. They say you look peaceful when you're dead, like you're sleeping. But no matter how I looked at his face, he looked dead. Maybe it was the blood smearing his cheek, or how pale his face was now. I had abandoned my village; he had been my place to return to. I only had him. No matter what I couldn't lose him, he had been everything to me. I cried, the hardest I had ever cried in my life, I missed Naruto.

"Naruto…Naruto…Don't go, no matter what you can't leave me. Please, please! Don't leave me! I need you, and not just me, the entire village needs you." I watched as my tears landed on his cheek, diluting the blood on his cheek. Now that he was gone I had no home to return to. To me, home was wherever someone was waiting for you. And now I had no one. I cried and wanted so badly to bring him back. Naruto don't leave me! I continued to cry. I would do anything so Naruto could achieve his dream. I would give him my own life. I would do anything for him. I just didn't want him to be dead. He was too full of life to be dead.

"Naruto, don't go, I need you…" the tears were flowing like rivers down my face. Naruto couldn't leave me. He couldn't leave his village. He was so close to becoming Hokage. Now he couldn't fulfill his dream when it was so close to him. I couldn't live without him, I needed him, he was my reassurance and my reason to live. Without him here I don't know what else I would do. I had nowhere to return to. The only thing that had kept me in the leaf was Naruto, and now that he was gone I had nowhere to return to. I no longer had a home. I didn't belong anywhere. I needed Naruto. I don't know how I lived my life before I met him. I used to be a psychopath focused on killing anyone I wanted to. I thought killing was what made me feel alive, but I soon realized it was love, and not just anyone's love, it was Naruto's love. He understood me, he was a Jinjuuriki too, and I used to be, so I could understand him too.

"Naruto!" I screamed. Then I heard a voice in my head. It belonged to Chiyo. I couldn't hear what she was saying but I knew somehow her knowledge, along with her life force, had been transferred to me. I remembered a jutsu I could use in this situation. It had been used on me to bring me back from the dead. I knew how to use it when I thought of it. Chiyo's jutsu had been transferred to me. I knew I could do it. I could bring Naruto back to life.

I put my hands over Naruto's still body and tried my hardest to pump my life energy into his body. It was harder than I thought it would be. I felt as if I was pushing my very soul out of my body. My body was burning as it tried to keep my life energy from slipping out. My hands were shaking as I worked on the Jutsu. I wanted so badly to bring Naruto back to life, this pain was nothing. He had died trying to save me. There was no danger left, but Naruto was now dead. I had to save him. I continued on Chiyo's jutsu. I pushed as hard as I could, trying to get every ounce of my life into his body. I felt myself getting weaker and weaker and I wanted to pass out, I wanted the pain to be over. My body was slowly losing feeling and from my waist down was becoming numb. It slowly came up, enveloping my body. But even if I couldn't feel my body I still had to do the Jutsu. Then the energy around my hands started to fade, I gave him a quick kiss on the lips then I watched as it disappeared. The last thing I saw was Naruto's eyes opening slowly.

"I love you…"

Naruto's POV

I woke up in silence. I thought I had died. I thought Obito had killed me, what happened? I tried to push myself up off of my elbows but the task proved too hard for me. I lay still until I felt my energy coming back. I pushed myself up so I sat on my butt. I tried to look around but it was too dark for my eyes. I felt some warmth on my lips that was slowly depleting. I let my eyes adjust to the dark and I looked down to my right side. There beside me, lay the still body of the red headed boy I loved.

"Gaara!" I crawled over to his shook his shoulder. Nothing, he didn't even move. "Stop pretending, you're not dead, come on, you can't be, please, no!" I put Gaara's head on my lap and cried over him. I looked down to his face; he had died with a small smile on his face. "Gaara…" I whispered. This couldn't be happening. I was the one who was supposed to die. I had died protecting Gaara. What had happened. Then I remembered the jutsu Chiyo had used Gaara back. But he couldn't have used it, he didn't even know how to. But that was the only logical explanation. Gaara was alive when I died, and now he is dead and I'm alive. He had to have, somehow.

I looked at his face once more; it was covered in tears, not just mine, but his also. He must have been released from the Genjutsu and seen me dead. He must've been so horrified and shocked. It made me cry even harder, all I ever did lately was cause pain for Gaara, no matter what I had only hurt him. I held him tight in my arms and cried into the fabric of his shirt. I sat there for hours, in silence, staring at Gaara's still, cold body.

Later I conjured up some shadow clones and made them destroy the wall that blocked the cave entrance. Then I carefully picked up Gaara's body and carried him back to the village.

After story

It has been four years since Gaara died. I still missed him, and some days I would just break down crying. I missed his love, his warmth, and his touch. I wanted nothing more than for him to return to my side. I needed him, but that was the past, and now was the present. I needed to continue living, not just for me, but for Gaara also. Eventually, Kankuro ended up returning to his village. He went back to live with his sister. She married Shikimaru, and I still have no one. I don't think I could fall in love with another person after loving someone so seriously before. But I knew I would return with him when I died, a lifetime wasn't very long if I knew I had someone waiting for me on the other side.

It was a warm sunny day in the leaf. We had rebuilt the town ages ago and everyone eventually forgot the incident with Pein. I finished my Hokage training and was officially the sixth Hokage. I had a student. Konohamaru, he was a great student, he reminded me of myself a lot. He was now the same age as I was when Gaara died. He was so full of life.

"Lord Hokage, are you busy, I have an message!"

"Come in, what is it?"

"I have a message from the Hidden Sand."

"What is it?"

"The Kazekage just had a child; he has red hair I heard."

"It must run in the family. Do you know what they named it?"

"Well it is a he, and, I heard they named him Gaara." Sakura said. I smiled softly. I missed Gaara so much. I could almost imagine his last words. "I love you"…

THE END

A:N/ Gaara! No don't die, I love you too much. I bet that's what you were thinking when you read this. I know, I love Gaara too, I thought this would be perfect for the story though. Does anyone hate the ending, because personally I thought it was beautiful? I really do, I know Gaara and Naruto were meant to be together, and I hope this chapter didn't go by too fast. I thought I did, maybe it was because I was writing it. I don't know. It's weird reading your own writing because no matter what it doesn't have the right feeling when you write it yourself. It doesn't feel like a real story. I don't know how to describe it. It feels just like work and not like something you yourself would read. I don't know. Well I had fun writing for the little people who read this, I hope it turned out well and I didn't make things to boring. I did add a whole spiy scene just so it had some romance. But near the end it was more beautiful than just love. I hope it didn't sound to forced, all their loving and that. Like it went by too fast or something, well I hope you enjoyed it. I thought it turned out amazing, but if you have any complaints please tell me; it would be nice to know my mistakes before I start another story. Well, I hope you had as much fun reading this story as I had writing it !
