Thoughts
---------------------------------------------------------------

It's been almost a year now and memories of him still cloud my mind, haunt my dreams, and fill my head..... I know he said to remember him as he was.....

Gaara put his face in his hands and began to cry. Temari walked by his office and saw him.

"Gaara....." She walked over to him and set an arm on his shoulder. "It's him again, right?" He just continued to cry.

-One year ago-

It looked as if it rained blood as the battle raged on. Sand, Kunai, Suriken, and Senbon flew in every direction as a war between Suna and Sound raged forward.

Sabaku Kyu!

Another ninja's blood flew in every direction to Gaara's jutsu. Neji did his Hakke Kusho, sending several kunai stray from their paths.

"Neji! Behind you!" Gaara yelled as a senbon was aimed for Neji's blind spot. He ducked and it shot over his head and into the ground.

"Thanks." He quickly turned around and hit a Sound ninja in to stomache. "They can't have many ninja left..." Neji started to breath hard.

"I think you spoke too soon...." Kankurou stepped back as another fleet of Sound nin made their way through Suna's Village barriers. He quickly layed out another scroll and summoned Karasu. "I don't think we can hold up much longer!"

Karasu jumped up and shot out poison gas as Temari flung her fan to blow it at the new fleet. Gaara trew up his sand sheild and deflected a numerous ammount of shuriken in oppisite directions. Neji quickly turned around and kicked another ninja in the chest in mid-air.

"Look out!" Temari yelled as a ninja with Katana came up from behind Neji.
Gaara turned around; Time moved in slow moition in Gaara's eyes as the wepons went through Neji's back and out his chest like butter. Sand immedeaitly engulfed that ninja and turned him to nothing in less than a second. Gaara ran over and caught Neji before he hit the ground.

Neji coughed up a small ammount of blood and his white robes turned crimson. Gaara felt tears swell up in his aqua eyes. Neji saw the tears fall slowly down his pale cheeks, he lifted his shaky hand up to Gaara's face.

"Don't.... cry for me....." Neji coughed again.

"B-but...." Neji put a finger to his lips.

"I l-love you..... " He said as more blood came up as he coughed. "Please.... don't rememb-ber... as I am..... now..... But.... as.... I was....." He choked out.

"N-neji....." Gaara said as more Konoha reinforcements showed up. "Don't leave m-me...." He cried. Neji just smiled and liped 'I love you' as his eyes closed. Gaara let his tears fall as Suna and Konoha won the battle.

----
'Don't cry for me, Love.' Gaara herd a voice in his head say. He lifted his head up.

"Neji?" He whispered.

"What did you say, Gaara?" Temari asked. He wiped his face and smiled.

"N-nothing."
