Thanks!

OMG! Yes, this means that the sequel is done! I hope you guys enjoyed this thoroughly, 'cause I worked my ass off for you (lol). In fact, LyokofanYumisman is pissed at me for staying on the computer so he couldn't type the next chapter of his story! I love you guys so much! And I would like to personally thank:

Chixon: OMG! It's my über first reviewer back from way back when! Thanks for taking time to read this one too! I'm glad you like it! YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!

IceNight009: Thanks for the morality booster, it really helped a lot. I'm glad a lot of my reviewers were hoping for a part two. If you're really nice to me, I might make a part three (see above). Did you think his explanation was good? If not than you and I shall have a stern talk with him! Love you too! Hee, 'but not for long', shouldn't give the story away now!

NoCareChakara: I'm so very glad you like it. Thanks for the review, you're awesome!

scorpiongrl: You know, your review really changed my mind about the happy/sad ending. It wasn't originally going to be happy, and then I changed my mind thanks to your influence. In fact, see my next part of this couple and wait for your surprise!

YounememeArika: Thank you for coming back! And for being my first reviewer! You rock out loud! Make sure to keep your demon away from Gaara, okay? He can't die otherwise Masao shall be very upset. And thank you for the compliment, it really means a lot to me! Love ya!

KaoriUchiha192: Thanks for reviewing this, it means so much to me!

Superfreak9201: I'm glad you enjoyed reading this, and thanks for the review.

Kyre Aldar: Thanks for the review! It's so awesome how many people liked this!

Masao: I have to say, I rather enjoyed the ending of this better, Shelbey.

Me: (shrugs.) What can I say? My readers asked and I delivered.

Masao: Well, at least Gaara has changed just a little bit, ne? But does this mean the entire thing's over? I mean, no more dabbling with my and Gaara's relationship? Do you hate us so much that you plan to abandon us!

Me: (snort) Hell, no! I have an entire database of drabbles lined up just waiting to be posted.

Gaara: (walks in, clueless) Masao, we're out of ice cream and I'm in the mood for some mint chocolate chip… (Notices me, and quirks his brow) What are you doing here Shelbey? Don't tell me you're going to pawn off my socks again to rabid fangirls… again…

Masao: (rolls eyes) She's here to explain to us about what she has cooked up for the next sequel.

Gaara: (sarcasm) Joy. I'm going to lock my sock drawer now.

Me: (Gives him a dirty look) ahem Okay, it's going to be one of the 100 Theme Challenge things, and I could pick anything I wanted so I picked this couple. Also, all it's going to be is a collection of drabbles based after this story. I already have like, fourteen of them written so it's just a matter of typing them. YAY!

Gaara: Like I said before, 'joy'. In fact, I feel so much joy that I'm just going to leave and make sure my drawer is out of your grasp. (leaves) (Masao groans)

Me: (to Masao.) Hey, he's your boyfriend.

Masao: (sighs) I know… But I love him anyway. Even if he is a royal pain in the ass.

Gaara: (mumbling) I heard that… (Masao and I laugh at his expense)

Thank you for reading through the second part of this now three part pairing. You people make my day when ever you leave me a review or even give me a hit. Unless you're a writer or have something online that you wait for reviews for you could never understand how that feels. You amazing people should be commended! I love you all!
