Heartless - A Naruto Fanfic (Gaara Love story)

Chapter 6 See You Later

Gaara's POV

I was sitting down on the swings waiting for Ai-chan to come back. I've been waiting for a while now about an hour and a half I guess.

What's taking her so long I sighed out thoughtfully. I looked down at Teddy Bear. I wonder where Ai-chan and Dango Bear are at, right, Teddy Bear?

I guess I should just wait for her to come back.

I just sat and watched the other kids play, I wonder if, maybe one day me and Ai-chan would be free from all the pain and feel lively with out a care in the world, no fear and no death around us, just peace....

I smiled at the thought, maybe one day that would happen, and I would want to spent it with her when that day comes.

Back to the moments that we spent together, me and Ai-chan had the most funnest times of our lives these couple of months.

I remember that time when I stoled her bestest brand of pockies and made my sand hold her back while I ate all of them in front of her face. One of the funniest moments I remembered.... But it ended with me dripping wet in the end.

Suddenly I heard running footsteps and saw a blur of red, blue, and white running towards me.

Now that I can see who it was more clearly, it was Ai-chan and she looks really sad and serious.

I got off the swings fast and approached her quickly. She hugged me once I reached her really fast that we both fell backwards or for her frontwards and, once again my sand caught me, or more specifically us.

Now that I think about it, she does this almost every single day. Whenever she gets the chance to she would practically tackle me, which always ends up with my sand catching us, ok I'm getting a little sidetracked, but today it doesn't feel the same like the other ones.

That's when I felt something wet soak my shirt, then did I realize what was happening. I sat up and grabbed her shoulders, putting us in a bit of distance so I can see her clearly. I was devasted to see her in this state, but that's when I saw her with her traveling bag.

"What happened and why do you have your traveling bag with you, Ai-chan?"

"G-Gaara-kun I-I-I have to l-leave.... I don't have enough time to tell you why, but o-once I come ba-back again or s-see you *sniffle* again I'll t-tell you. I promise-"

"Wait, what!?What are you even saying,y-your leaving?" Please let this be a joke. But her face says it all, she's saying this seriously and she was even crying, she's not the type to cry so easily.

"I-I have to Gaara-kun. I'll tell you one day I promise, but I don't have enough time. And I want to give you something I want you to keep to remember me by." She said and her shaky hand reached up to her hair and pulled off her black ribbon, and her hair cascaded down swiftly.

It's my first time seeing her with her hair down but she looked more beautiful with it down. I blushed quickly but pushed it away.

"Here Gaara-kun please keep this and remember me by it. Don't forget about me, and remember that heart I gave you, and you gave me, well remember that if I still alive my heart's red crystal in the middle would not dissolve, and if your still alive your sand would keep on moving inside the heart that you made."

I nodded and my eyes were getting teary. "Yeah I remember, and I wont forget about you either Ai-chan."

"I got to go Gaara-kun, I'll see you in the future." Once she finished talking I pulled her in a big hug. She hugged me back and we both started crying.

She was sobbing on my shoulder and I hugged her tighter. My first friend leaving but why?

"See you later Gaara-kun." She whispered and ran off in the direction of the village gates after she pulled away from our hug.

Yeah bye Ai-chan.

Ai POV

I ran away from Gaara-kun, with an unbearable pain in my chest. I clinged my hand over it and kept on running.

Tears streaked down my cheeks, staining it with its' wet substance. I kept running like my life depended on it and I soon passed Suna's huge walls surrounding the village.

Hours passed by and it was soon dark. I stopped running and fell on my knees, I'm so tired... I thought.

I weaved a couple of hand signs and muttered "Crystal Style: Crystal Dome". A large dome made of crystal surrounded me and I sighed and pulled out a sleeping bag, dropping my traveling bag on the ground. I layed my sleeping bag down and went in it.

I felt something in my pocket and it was bothering me. I slid my hand in my pocket and pulled out the object. It was the heart Gaara-kun made.

I placed it near my face clutching it and smiled a sad smile, a tear making its' way down my face.

Gaara-kun we'll meet again I promise.

I closed my eyes and was soon consumed in darkness.
