-Kankuro-

I watched as Gaara left, and to be honest I couldn't blame him. The woman he loved just died in his arms. I hugged Temari close as she cried into my chest.

"Naruto, can you….get those things out of her?"

I asked and he snapped out of his daze and nodded before walking over to Fayre's limp body and pulled out the pillars. They made a sickening sound as he pulled each one of them out and after the third one I pulled Temari out of the cavern with me and made our way out of the mountain. We walked out into the moonlight and I noticed that Gaara was nowhere to be seen, but the others were all sitting on the ground with blank looks on their faces.

'Looks like Gaara told them.'

I thought as I walked over to Neji who held TenTen in his arms.

"Is it true?"

TenTen asked as we reached them. I couldn't bring myself to say it so I just nodded. She cried and buried her face in Neji's shoulder and I sighed as I leaned against a tree and held Temari as she continued to cry. It was effecting all of us, but I believe Gaara was taking it the hardest.

-Fayre-

I felt something soft and warm beneath me and was confused because the last thing I remembered was being pinned to the ground by Pein's chakra infused pillars and the feel of Gaara's lips against mine.

"Open your eyes Fay."

A familiar voice I hadn't heard in years said and my eyes snapped open and I sat up in shock. My eyes widened and began to water when I saw the tanned skin, dark green eyes, and messy red hair that could only belong to one person.

"Raja!"

I screamed at him before jumping up off of whatever I had been lying on and tackling him into a hug.

"It seems like you haven't lost any of your rashness."

He said with a laugh as he wrapped his arms around me and returned the hug.

"So you are the girl my ex-host has chosen to spend his life with. I must say, that child has good taste."

A different voice said and I turned my head to the left to see a black and sand colored, one tailed raccoon looking beast looking at me with yellow eyes.

"Be nice Shukaku."

Raja said and I heard the raccoon named Shukaku sigh.

"I was only complementing her on her beauty."

He said and I heard Raja growl at him and mumble something that sounded like 'perverted raccoon' under his breath before he looked back at me.

"Fayre, tell me of your life since that night."

Raja said and I didn't have to ask which night he was talking about. I wanted to, I wanted to spend as much time as I could with him now that we were together again, but I also wanted to know where I was and if I could ever see Gaara again.

"Perhaps you should explain to her where we are first Raja."

Shukaku said and Raja looked at him in surprise and his eyes widened in shock before he turned to look at me.

"I completely forgot!"

He said and I smiled at him.

"Still as forgetful as ever Raj."

I said and he laughed as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah."

He said before taking my hand.

"Come on, I'll explain on the way."

He said as he started to lead me down a path that I hadn't even realized was there before just now. I looked behind me to see I had been lying on a cloud.

'Just where the hell am I?'

I wondered as I followed Raja and Shukaku down the path.

"Okay, well first things first. You're dead Fayre."

He said and I stopped short.

"Say what!"

I yelped and he turned back to look at me.

"You can't tell me that you're surprised to hear that. I mean come on, Shukaku and I were extracted and killed. You were tortured and had a pillar ram through your chest and miss your heart by three inches. You can't honestly tell me you thought you were just dreaming."

Raja said and now that he'd put it that way I guess he was right.

"Is there any way I can get back?"

I asked and I heard Raja sigh.

"Well that bit's a little more complicated."

He said and I looked at him confused.

"Come on, I'll tell you once we're inside."

He said as he pulled me along after him.

"Inside where?"

I asked looking around, but my mouth fell open when I saw a huge house that hadn't been there a few minutes ago. Raja opened the door and let me go in first. He and Shukaku came in after and they led me to the kitchen. The table was already set for three and was covered in marvelous food that made my mouth water.

"Sit down Fay, we have a lot to talk about."

Raja said as he and Shukaku took their seats. I nodded numbly and sat down between them.

-Naruto-

I finished pulling out all the pillars in Fayre's body and gingerly picked her up. I carried her outside and stepped out into the moonlight. It cast it's light on Fayre's blood covered face and made her skin look like it was glowing. I felt tears in my eyes, but held them back as I walked over towards the others. Kankuro was leaning against a tree holding his sister as she cried. Neji and TenTen were sitting on the ground next to them. Lee was holding a crying Ino, Hinata and Sakura were crying silently and Kiba was trying to comfort them both. Gaara was nowhere to be seen.

"Sakura."

I called and she looked up at me before coming over to me.

"I know she's…..dead."

I said, forcing the word past my lips.

"But do you think you can heal her wounds?"

I asked and she nodded before raising her hands and hovering them over Fayre's limp body in my arms and her hands glowed a pale green and I watched as Sakura's chakra made all of Fayre's cuts, gashes, and wounds stitch together and disappear.

"Thank you."

I said as she cut the chakra flow to her hands. She just nodded before walking back over to Kiba who wrapped his arms around her.

"We should take her back to Suna."

I said to Kankuro and he nodded and followed me as I headed in that direction. Everyone else fell instep behind us. It was silent the entire time and we eventually had to stop and rest. No body wanted to just bury her where we were, we wanted her to be buried in Suna where she could be remembered. I laid her body down in a patch of soft grass and sat against a nearby tree and closed my eyes as the tears ran down my chin.

"We all miss her."

Hinata's voice said and I opened my eyes to see her standing next to me, but her eyes were on Fayre's still form.

"Hinata, you shouldn't-"

I started, but she cut me off with a shake of her head.

"I'm okay."

She said before she knelt down beside me and leaned against me. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close.

"I still can't believe she's gone."

I said.

"I know, but she is."

She said and I sighed as I closed my eyes again. It would take us three days to get to Suna, then it'd be up to Gaara to give her a proper burial.

-Fayre-

"Okay, so let me get this straight."

I said looking at both Raja and Shukaku.

"I am currently in the Realm of Gods and demons and tailed beasts are actually Gods that were sent to Earth to help those that needed it and that's why you were sealed inside of Gaara and my bloodline makes us have demons within us?"

I asked slightly confused.

"Yes, but it's slightly more complicated than that. With the tailed beasts like Shukaku they are actually Gods sent to Earth that were sealed into their hosts for several different reasons. Where demons like me Demi-Gods and are born into our hosts through their bloodlines."

Raja said and I nodded in understanding.

"Ooookay."

I said as I looked back down at my now empty plate of food.

"Then why have us believe you guys are beast and such? Why not tell us you're actually Gods and Demi-Gods?"

I asked and Shukaku sighed.

"Because, the information would have made you power hungry and blood thirsty. Well in Gaara's case when I was still with him blood thirstier."

Shukaku said and I glared at him.

"He's right Fay, you hosts wouldn't have been able to handle the information of knowing that you housed Gods within yourselves. You would have lost the part of you that was human and gone crazy."

Raja said and I sighed as I realized he was right.

"Okay, fine. But I'm not calling you Gods or anything. You're still a demon to me."

I said pointing to Raja.

"And you're still the one tailed, raccoon beast that was sealed inside Gaara."

I said pointing to Shukaku and they both nodded in understanding.

"That explains where I am, but not if I can get back."

I said and noticed Raja stiffened.

"Before we get to that you've got to understand, we can only do this once."

Raja said and I looked at him confused.

"Do what?"

I asked and Shukaku sighed at me.

"Gods your dense."

He said and I growled at him and he smirked at me.

"Bring you back to life. We can only do it once."

Raja said and my eyes widened.

"You can bring me back? You can make it so I can see Gaara again?"

I asked and he nodded, but I noticed the solemn look on his face and my happiness died.

"What is it?"

I asked.

"You know that you were with child when you died correct?"

Raja asked and I felt tears sting my eyes as I remembered Pein informing me that I was pregnant with Gaara's child.

"Yes."

I said in a small voice.

"We can only bring you back, not your child."

He said and I saw Shukaku look at him weird, but ignored it and nodded in understanding.

"That's okay."

I said and he and Shukaku looked at me shocked.

"If I get a chance to go back and be with Gaara again, then we'll have a chance to try again."

I said and Raja smiled at me while Shukaku just scoffed. That raccoon was really pissing me off.

"Now the choice is solely up to you."

Raja said and I looked at him confused. Did he really expect me to reject such an offer? There had to be a reason why.

"Raja, what is it?"

I asked and he blinked at me in surprise before smiling at me.

"You never miss anything do you Fay?"

He asked and I just looked at him.

"We can give you the power to kill Pein, but it will take time."

He said and I froze.

"How much time?"

I asked warily.

"Just a day."

He said and I thought about it.

"How would you give me the power?"

I asked.

"The same way we'd send you back, through a drink."

He said and I nodded.

"Okay Raja. I will wait one day before asking that you send me back."

I said and he smiled at me before getting up and showing me to a room upstairs.

"Get some sleep, I'll get you for breakfast in the morning. By then we shall be ready."

He said before bidding me goodnight and leaving.

I flopped down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. The bed was just like that of my room back in Gaara's house. Only the colors were gold and white instead of red and gold.

'They can give me the power to kill Pein, and they can send me back. All I have to do is wait till tomorrow morning.'

I thought with a sigh as I rolled over onto my side.

'I wonder how everyone will react when I come back? They must be complete wrecks knowing I'm dead. And Gaara.'

I thought and felt my eyes sting with tears and couldn't stop them from falling down my face. It must be killing him knowing he was too late.

'Just wait a little longer Gaara. I'm coming back to you.'

I thought before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
