The Shadow and The Sand ( Gaara love story)

Chapter 29

It's been two weeks since the battle with Henta. And a few hours till Yorus funeral. After the battle, the shadow, leaf, and sand ninjas took the bloody breathless body of they're friend Yoru back to her home village.

Nobody spoke a word the entire journey. Only the occasional small talk to pass the time.

By the time the lot arrived the villagers, having received a message about the death of they're strongest ninja, all waited outside the gates with looks of sadness to grate fullness.

The villagers made way for they're Kage as he walked into the silent village with the girl he loved dead in his arms. His eye never left the ground as he walked along with his friends behind him. Kai and Sai, once so happy go luck, were silently mourning the loss of they're beloved best friend. Memories of the three pulling pranks around the village and all the memorable missions they were assigned to flashed through they're minds as they both glanced at the girl in Yoshinos arms.

Yoshitsune and Hyosuke, both with their arms crossed across their chests. Stare absentmindedly at the sky above them. Thoughts of denial in their minds.

'She's not dead'

'She's going to wake up.'

'This is all just another one of her jokes.'

The sand and leaf ninjas stared at the ninjas ahead of them. Yes. They were sad at the loss of the girl. But not as much as the shadow ninjas.

The Kazekage, as emotionless as ever, stared at the area infront of him. Staring at him, you would think the loss of his interest hadn't affected him. But on closer inspection, if you looked into his eyes long enough, there was a strong sense of sadness and pain. The girl that he thought was the one. The girl he thought he might have had actual feelings for was gone.

'I could have done something!'

Thoughts of guilt washed over the young Kazekage like a ocean wave.

'Why did I let her go?'

--------------------------------------------

Everyone in the village was dressed in black the day after the arrival of the rescue party. Many were mourning the loss of their most strongest ninja and closest friend.

Kai and Sai held each other as they saw their best friend in the coffin. Tears rolling down their face as they stared at her.

"Yoru.. Yoru please wake up!". Sai leapt from his chair and grabbed into the girls lifeless shoulders.

"Yoru please wake up! You promise that you wouldn't die before us!"

The blonde boy shook as another wave of tears rolled down his pink face.

"You fucking promised that you wouldn't die you asshole!"

He slapped the dead girls face until he was pulled away by his twin brother who was Close to breaking down at the sight of his broken down brother. holding him to his chest he attempted to calm them both down.

"Sai. it'll be ok. it'll be ok"

Tears silently fell down the cheeks of the other three boys as they saw the scene unfold before them. Hyosuke walked up to the sobbing twins and helped them back to their seats. He walked back to his seat and put his head in his hands. His body shaking as he couldn't hold back the tears that were threatening to fall anymore.

Yoshitsune put his hand on the kurokages shoulder in comfort.

"I know what she meant to you. and to all of us. But maybe it was for the best. She won't have to fight anymore."

Wiping his tears away the Kage stood up straight and walked towards the coffin.

"You always said that if you were to die to bring you back and kill you agin for being to damn stupid to avoid being killed."

He chuckled at the memory of the girls smiling face as she put her hands on her hips and jumped in front of him.

"You always had that weird sense of humor that usually made people avoid you. But... it was oddly entertaining watching you attempt to make a joke."

He stated down at her face and stroked her cold cheek.

"You know I always had feelings for you. I never have up on you no matter how many times you turned me down. I think I know why I did that."

He stared up at the graying sky.

"It wasn't love I was looking for in you."

A single rain drop fell from the clouds and landed on the boys cheek, rolling down his face.

" It was to be close to you. Not in a romantic way of a friendly way. I'm not sure how to explain it. But I know now it wasn't love. it never was."

Leaning down he placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I understand if you hate me now from keeping you from someone you might have had real feelings for."

Standing back, he returned to his seat amongst his weeping friends.

"Did you really mean that?"

The Kurokage turned his head to the deep voice of the other young kage.

"Yes. I really did. I understand if you hate me also. I stood I between you two since I first notice the way you looked at her. I shouldn't have said or done anything. It wasn't my right to do so. And I deeply apologize. Will you-"

"Look at the coffin!"

Both kages looked over at the coffin in disbelieve. what looked like black most emitted from within the coffin started to float above it and make a form.

The mist created Kimera, the demon looked around at the people before roaring and disappearing into the coffin . A sudden bright light momentarily blinding the crowd.

The first to clear their vision was the Kurokage kage. His eyes widened as he tried to speak.

Everyone was staring at the coffin In awe.

There standing infront of their death bed.

Was the supposably dead Yoru.

"Thought you could get rid of me that easily?"
