ZOMG!!! I came up with a mini-epilogue thingy! Its as tragic as the first part though... -sweat-drops- Once again in Lee's POV

Why? Why did nothing feel the same anymore? I curl myself into a ball on my bed, sobbing. Nothing was ever the same... Ever since Gaara's death, I could never get over it. Nothing will make me forget the pain. The pain I put him through... The pain I made to myself. Listen to what they say when they say that karma always gets back at you. Because it has to me. And I'll never. Get. Over. This. Pain.

I grip my left arm tightly. This is all I have to remember him by... Nothing else... I think to myself, biting my lip. I'm so sorry... I wish I could hear you one last time... I want you so much... Gaara... I want to hold you in my arms, I want to hear you say my name, please... please!

There's nothing I wouldn't do... To have just one more chance, To look into your eyes, and see you looking back...

Lying that way, as if he was sleeping, the last glance I got of him before he was buried was what killed my loving nature. No one can save me now. Theres just too much pain to save me from my own Hell. I've been here, locked in my regret, sadness and I will be... Forever. "Gaara..." I whisper, drying my tears only to have more stream down my cheeks. Someone's knocking at my door, but I don't answer.

"Lee? Are you in there? You haven't come out of your apartment ever since he was mentioned by Naruto a week ago... " It is, once again, Tenten. She only causes me to sob louder. "Lee? Are you crying?"

"Yes... I am..." I choke in between sobs. "Just leave me... Please..."

"Lee..." She whispers, before I hear footsteps leading away from my room. I see a small glint as I see my kunai pack, sprawled out on a fresh spandex of mine. My eyes brimmed with tears flash for a moment before I get up, grabbing the kunai. If I can't be with you... I'll accept my fate. I know what I have to do. What I have to do to end this horrendous pain that has plagued me. I must die for it to leave... I have to...

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do... And I've hurt myself... By hurting you...

Just before I lunge it to the region where my heart lies, I hear a voice.

"Lee... Don't do this to yourself, please!" I turn to see a red-head standing there, shackles binding him. He looks into my eyes, the pale, concerned yet lifeless green-aqua pupils digging their way into my own.

"G...Gaara..." I whisper, dropping the kunai. "Is it really you? Are you...? Or am I just hallucinating...? I would expect the latter though..." He steps forward, caressing my cheek, not taking his brilliant eyes off me.

"Its me... Just for a little while. Its only a matter of time before I revert from solid to spirit, but I am still dead... I've just managed to use my little chakra that had come with me to death to solidify my form." He looks down, eyes saddened. I wrap my arms around him, sobbing loudly.

"Gaara, I love you! I need you! Without you, my life is gone... I have no reason to live..." I cry, lifting him in my arms. He wraps his arms around me, taking in some warmth. And he's cold. Oh so cold...

If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away...

"I love you too, Lee... I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." Gaara murmurs, a lone tear trailing down his cheek.

"Don't be sorry Gaara, its me who should be sorry... I wanted to hate you for almost killing me..." I feel him recoil from my grip, and then I continue. "But the very thought of ever hating you made me sick... Its because I care for you... Only you... When you died, I couldn't believe it. I held your body even after you were gone. They kept telling me to give it up, that you couldn't come back. I never listened to them. I kept believing it was all a dream, that I would wake up and see you alive, to tell you that I love you... But it wasn't a dream. During the funeral, so many hated me... Naruto yelled at me, and everyone glared... In the end, I broke. I broke completely beyond all hopes of repair... Gaara... I'm so sorry... Forgive me, please..." I whimper, holding him close to my broken heart. "And don't cry either. Angels shouldn't cry..."

"I forgive you, Lee..." Gaara whispers, a lust then taking his eyes. "But I want something in return." I look to him, ready to give him anything he wants. "You in me while I'm still technically solid."

"Gaara... I was hoping you'd ask that..." I say, picking him up and setting him on my bed. He looks to me with a starry look, and I forget that he ever died, that he is dead. I see that he came with no shirt at all, so I began marking him as my own, though I know in the back of my mind that he'll not be owned by anyone once he leaves me... I stretch him roughly, managing to keep a kiss linked, trying to make this as enjoyable as possible. He thrusts his hips in tune to my fingers, an enjoyable motion for him.

Thank you for all you've done... Forgive all your mistakes...

"Lee..." He whispers as I enter him. He's really stiff, but I'd expect that. I begin a slow motion, rocking him back and forth. I finally get my wishes of having him granted, of hearing him say my name as he moans it aloud.

"Gaara... I love you so fucking much..." I moan, ramming deep into him, hitting nerves that cause shivers of pleasure to dominate him. He claws at my back, digging his nails into my arms after, leaving crescents of blood in their wake. I thrust back into him, hearing the howl of pleasure rip free from his throat. I feel myself on the edge; As expected, since we're both virgins, I think to myself. He shakes underneath me, also at the same point. I lurch forward after about seven more thrusts, Gaara loosing himself at the fifth, screaming my name. Oh how I love it.

And I've hurt myself...

"Lee..." He mutters softly, now beginning to loose his form.

"No! Please! Don't leave me yet! Don't leave me!" I sob, holding him as tightly as possible.

"I'm sorry..." Gaara reaches out, brushing his hand over my cheek before I fall on the bed, the absense of Gaara under me leaving a gap. Now I lay naked, alone, in my own bed. I get up and dress, before collapsing once more in my bed, curling up. I put my fingernails in the crescents of where Gaara's nails broke the skin. The memory of Gaara strong in my mind, I see my whole collapse around me, nothing left to do. My vision darkens as I know I will end. But at least I will be with him...

By hurting... you...

Lee is found the next day, dead. He lies curled up, his sheets wrapped around him. No cuts visible except for red crescents on his arms and small scratches on his back. He had not died from any visible injuries. No. He died from a broken heart, from living in a Hell that not even Gaara himself could live in for more than a year, since of course he had lived in one his entire life.

They brought his body to Suna, where his love lay dead in a cemetary. Temari and Kankurou felt sadness for the Taijutsu Master, the one whom had loved their brother but never got to spend a day as a lover with him.

"Fuzzy brows... I'm sorry..." Naruto whispered, looking one last time at Lee's dead body one last time before it is lowered, located where it should be; Next to the one of his lover, by now rotting but still remembered. On the tomb-stone of Lee, there is written:

R.I.P- Rock Lee

Lover of Sabaku No Gaara, Kazekage of Suna. Died from a broken heart of loosing his love. Buried next to his love though born in Konoha.

For Gaara, it wrote:

R.I.P- Sabaku No Gaara

Died from a stabbing in the heart.

What was added was:

Lover of Rock Lee, devoted Taijutsu master who never got to say 'I love you'. Now lies peacefully, forever side-by-side to his love.

---

"Gaara..." Lee now stood, holding his lover close to him.

"Lee..." The smaller one replied, grasping the black-haired one.

"I love you... And I'll never leave you again." Now standing in a place that no matter what culture a person was in, was a variation of a Garden of Eden, they realized that this place was their heaven.

Because they had eachother.

And thats all they ever needed.

UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! -sobs-

Sasuke: ...-kicks her-

-ignores and continues to cry-

Gaara: Now why is she crying!?

Sasuke: She reread her "work" while listening to the same song that the fic that she wrote this as an epilogue to had.

Lee: ...THAT fic!?

Gaara: ...I'm gonna... -reads- ...That was unexpected...

Lee: ...Shes a pervert.

AM NOT! -still sniffling-

Naruto: aaanyways...?
