Kira stood frozen staring at the man before her. Her heart was thumping so fast she was sure it would run away if it got the chance. Aqua green met crimson. She wanted to run to him. To wrap her arms around his neck and never let go. Tears started to form at just the sight of him. Her Gaara.

"Kira." His rough voice sent shivers down her spine. He sent a small glare to Sasuke but returned his gaze to Kira, he had been so worried. He was glad she was okay. Walking towards her he stopped when he heard her voice echo through his head.

'Don't come over here! Please wait till we're alone.' Gaara stared at her confused, but knew she would explain herself in the end. She always did. She nodded to herself glad that Gaara would be patient until they were sure Sasuke was out of eye and ear sight.

So nodding to herself she wasn't ready to get this over with but knew she had to.

A vice like grip wrapped around Kira's wrist holding her in place. "We came here for a reason. Don't make me wait." nodding her head she watched him let go, never taking his eyes off her. She waited till she was sure he wouldn't stop her.

Rushing to Gaara's side she grasped the red head's hand dragging him to a more private area. Kira dragged the man till she was sure they weren't being followed. Letting him go in the middle of the room Kira locked the door. She wanted at least a few minutes alone with Gaara before Sasuke came barging in.

"Baby. What's going on?" holding her mouth she didn't want to start crying. She wanted to be strong but this, this was just crushing her. She didn't want to hurt Gaara. She didn't want to break up with him. She didn't want to lose the best thing in her life for Sasuke. Call it selfish but Gaara was her everything. She already lost him once. She had felt so alone, so empty.

Warm rough hands grasped onto her arms hesitantly spinning and pulling the girl to his chest. He could see how upset she was. He didn't know what was wrong but knew it had to deal with Sasuke. Ever since they were children he had tried to stake his claim on the girl.

Sasuke had hated how close they were back in the Chunin exams, threatening him to stay away. But why would Gaara listen to Sasuke? Why would he listen and stay away from the girl who brought him out of his dark and lonely cell. To stay away from the woman who gave him light, who knew his pain, who loved him with her entire heart.

Resting his chin on top of her head he felt his shirt start to feel damp, her arms wrapped around his waist tightly. "It's okay baby," he whispered, running a hand down her back. Trying to comfort her as best as he could, he was still awkward about these things.

"No it's not." her voice muffled against his chest. "Of course it is," his lips brushed against her hairline, his nose squished against her horn, he couldn't imagine her without it. "We're here together. You're safe." he felt her head snuggle into his chest. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." he loved how she just fit perfectly against him, the way she smelled like the forest around her. Blending naturally into the woodsy environment. "Has Sasuke...has he hurt you?"

"No...but I won't be able to for much longer." she mumbled pulling away from his embrace. Her fingers running along the metal of her arm. The warm sun had heated the material to an almost burning point but she didn't care.

Gaara watched her walk away, her eyes cast to the floor. Walking after her he sat them at a table "Stay here." hearing him say that made her cringe. She would love nothing more than to be here with Gaara, but she couldn't. "Screw Sasuke. Baby just stay here with me." he clutched onto her hands shifting his head so that he was hunched over, able to see her eyes. "We've talked about it, you moving here but..."

Tears started to fall hearing those words. "I know," she mumbled reaching her hand up to pull her mask down. Gaara leaned forward resting his head against hers. "I would love to, gods I want to." she whispered leaning forward to kiss him.

Gaara didn't deny her the kiss. He feared this would be the last one for a while. The two teens poured all their love, their passion, their need, their pain into this one kiss. Tears fell freely as they clutched onto one another.

"I love you." she whispered, being the first to pull away. "And I you." resting his forehead against hers keeping her in place. The rough ridges of her horns dug into his skin but he didn't care, he didn't want her to leave, to leave them for Sasuke.

"Don't go."

"I don't want to." she whispered softly, reaching out to hold his face, running the pad of her thumb over his cheek to stop his tears. "I would love to stay but I promised Naruto I'd bring Sasuke home."

"Screw Sasuke. He made his choice..." her lips brushed against his own stopping him from speaking. "I know baby. I know." He didn't want to end things, he didn't want to lose her again. "I don't want to do this." fat tears started to fall again, Gaara held her face brushing her own tears away but they wouldn't stop coming. He could see her heart breaking in his eyes.

"I don't want to but I have to." her voice sounded so broken. "You'll hate me but I didn't..."

"I would never hate you. I hate that you're doing all this for Sasuke." Shaking her head she leaned her head against his chest "It's not for Sasuke. Its for Naruto." she mumbled against him. Gaara let out another sigh hugging her tightly "He would understand."

"I know but I can't see him like that again." So this was it. She was breaking up with him for Sasuke. He didn't want to be angry with her, he could never hate her. But this, all this for Sasuke? Sasuke of all people. He felt a burning hatred towards the raven haired male. "I love you." she whispered her fingers gripping onto the fabric of his shirt. "I love you so much."

"Let me see everything that's happened since you left." He watched her pull away a frown on her lips but she nodded her head closing her eyes and resting her head against his own. Gaara watched as the memories from when she left to now slipped through his brain. He knew this would be difficult for her but Gaara knew she would be okay in the end.

He felt her tremble beneath him. Her body shook, blood started to pour from her nose transferring her memories would take its toll. But he knew. He now knew everything. "You foolish girl." he whispered, clenching his eyes tightly.

"You stupid girl." he mumbled lifting her head to place kisses along her face. "What am I going to do with you?" she smiled weakly, her sad broken eyes heavy. "I don't like this, but I understand now." she sighed glad he understood.

Feeling her snuggle into his chest Gaara cradled the girl never wanting to let her go. "I love you." he mumbled in her ear. "I love you too...but you should find someone else to love." Forcing her chin up Gaara shook his head. "I was given a second opportunity at love and I'm not throwing that away. If I have to wait I will."

Pulling away Kira couldn't believe what she was hearing. Gaara would willingly wait for her? Wait for her knowing that she was going to be with Sasuke?! "I can't ask that of you!" She yelled starting to pace hugging her stomach, letting her thoughts run through her mind.

"I won't let you wait for me. I love you too much to let that happen. I won't let you wait for me." Gaara could see she was upset about his response, but he meant what he said he would wait for her. She was his light, his heart, he couldn't imagine life without her. "You're saying you'd rather be with Sasuke than me?"

Her right arm came crashing down on one of the tables sending cracks through the wood. Her eyes locked onto the spot before meeting his own. "You know that's not what I'm saying." she held her face in her hands sinking to the floor. "I can't be the reason you don't find another love. It would kill me."

Gaara took three large steps and squatted down being at her height now. "I don't want another love, can't you understand that." she met his gaze "I do but I won't hold you back. I want you to be happy, even if it means it's not with me. It might take some time but you'll find someone, I just know it."

There were tons of girls in Suna who already wanted to be with Gaara even though they knew that they were dating. Someone pounded on the door startling both teens on the floor. Gaara watched Kira pull her mask back up and fix her hair so covered her eyes. "I need to go." she whispered standing up.

Reacting quickly Gaara gripped onto Kira's arms he pulled her close to him once more. "Don't go. You don't have to go with him." He understood her cause it didn't mean he liked it. He didn't want to give up on them for Sasuke. Sasuke had it easy when finding female companions, Gaara had struggled after his change of heart but Kira...Kira had wanted him from the start. "Please."

Kira's heart ached hearing his plea. She knew if she stayed any longer she would give in, she would agree and the two of them would have to deal with Sasuke. She also knew that if she did agree that Sasuke would go back on his word, that he would not return home to Konoha and that everything she's done so far would be for nothing.

"I love you." she whispered leaning back and placed a kiss on his cheek through her mask. She needed to go now. Walking out of his arms was one of the hardest things she's ever done, opening the door to Sasuke and walking out leaving a heartbroken Gaara left her feeling empty.

She knew he would find love again, he would fall for someone that would love him more than anything, he would find himself someone who he deserved. "What was taking so long?" Sasuke grumbled, matching her speed with ease. She didn't bother to answer. He wouldn't like the answer anyway.

They walked out of Suna ignoring anyone who they might have come across, the day turned to night and yet she still walked quietly. She had to get away from Suna, she had to get away from the sand. Everything here reminded her of Gaara, if she didn't leave she'd probably break down again.

Sasuke felt giddy with himself, she was finally done with that annoying sand bastard Gaara. He felt bad since she was so upset but he knew she'd be okay after tonight, he'd make sure she would never think of Gaara again.

Sasuke would claim her mind, her body, her soul. It was only natural to feel giddy. He couldn't help it, the woman he loved was now officially his. He couldn't wait to start their family together but he knew he had to wait. He needed to kill Itachi first before he even thought about restoring his clan. Though when he thought about it, they could still try. He wouldn't mind seeing a little Sasuke or Kira running around while they traveled.

"I'm not having kids yet!" Kira snapped, clenching her hands to fists, her glare could match that of an Uchihas. "I never said we were." he argued though the smirk was there. "You thought it though!"

He shrugged making sure she could see the cocky smirk on his handsome face "How is that my fault. If it bothers you so much don't listen in." he could practically see the murderous intent behind those crimson eyes. Of course it made him even more excited. He always loved it when she got angry in the past, watching her get so disheveled. It was quite amazing.

"I swear to god I'm going to strangle you in your sleep!"

Letting out another chuckle, Sasuke walked onwards, leading the way back to one of Orochimaru's hideouts. There was a certain someone he knew would do well for their journey. They didn't have a moment to waste. "Then I'll have to keep those hands of yours busy with something else, hmm?"

Kira let out a small scream of aggravation as she stomped after him, he could hear her grumbles of anger. Most of which were calling him an asshole or a pervert. Sasuke didn't mind at all. In fact it was giving him other ideas.

Sorry for the short/ sad chapter. I really hated writing this and hurting Gaara, I hate the idea of him hurt and I know it's my story and that it was going to happen but shit this hurts. I love Gaara more than anything. He's my precious Baby and writing that broke my heart. I'll try to post another chapter soon I don't know if it'll be spicy or not but I just know I got a few comments on all the websites I post the story to, they're asking for a lemon but fair warning I've never written any and it might be really bad.
