A/N: Here's the conclusion
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Hinata knocked on Neji's bedroom door. "Hey! Are you ready to go?"
Neji opened the door and nodded. He was dressed in a brand new black tux and Hinata had on a black dress that flowed just past her knees. They were on their way to a memorial service for everyone that had died in the past couple of weeks. After the memorial service mutiple funerals would be held for each person. Kabuto, Ino, Kiba, Minato, Naruto and Sasuke. Hinata could never forget how shocked she felt when Sasuke let himself fall from the roof with Naruto. They'd run down to the ground to try and help them, but they were both already dead. Deidara had practically fallen apart and Itachi wasn't much better. They'd all stayed there not knowing whet to do until the police eventually showed up. It'd been about a week since that happened.
Hinata checked herself in the the mirror to make she looked okay before she followed Neji out to his car. The ride to the cemetary was short and silent. The were met outside the front gates of the cemetary by Sakura. She hugged Hinata but couldn't bring herself to look at Neji. Then they went inside. Hinata loooked around and saw Itachi and Deidara in the back of the crowd consoling each other. Kiba's family was there and so were Ino's. "It's really over isn't it?"
"Yeah." Neji said. They all filed into the curch beside the cemetary and took their seats as the sermon started. Other than the sermon it was pretty much quiet save the occational sob or sniffle. Sakura bowed her head and let out a sigh of relief. She was sad about people she cared about dying, but also glad that it was all over. After geting the camera back from Deidara, she'd deleted the video of Naruto. She just wanted to get on with her life.
The sermon seemed to go on for hours. When it was finally over everyone separated into groups and went to the different burial sites. Naruto and Sasuke had been buried beside each other. Itachi knealt down beside thier freshly dug graves and closed his eyes. "Sasuke..." He wisperd. Deidara placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Itachi." He said. "It was his choice to go with Naruto. He's happier wherever he is."
Itachi nodded. "It still hurts. He was me brother. I just don't feel right with out him."
Deidara knealt down beside and and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. "I miss him too."
Saskura looked over at them from beside Ino's grave. Neji took her hand in his but she pulled her hand away. "No. I can't"
"Sakura..."
"You were never happy with me, were you?" She wispered sadly. "It's okay. You can go to Sasori." She went to Hinata who was at Kiba's grave.
Neji looked over to where Naruto and Sasuke were buried and noticed that Itachi and Deidara were gone. He looked at the headstones and turned away. It made him uncofortable to be where Naruto was buried. He felt like the blonde would pop out of the ground any second and come after him. But that didn't happen. He sighed and walked out of the cemetary. The whole atmosphere of that place was making him sick. He knew Hinata would probably go home with Sakura, so he started the car and drove away. But even when he was a considerable distance from the cemetary he still couldn't shake the uneasy feeling plauging him.
He shook his head. 'It's over.' He thought. 'It's time to get on with my life.' But no matter how much he tried to calm himself down, his feelings of unrest wouldn't go away. When he finally got back to his house Hanabi was waiting for him at the door with a letter.
"You're back early." She held out the letter. "Some guy left this for you."
"Really? What'd he look like?" Neji took the letter and inspected it. It was just a plain white envelope with his name written on the front.
Hanabi shrugged. "I didn't really get a good look at him. He had on a hoodie and a hat." Neji opened the letter and when he read what it said he felt his blood run cold. Written on the paper were the words 'It's not over'.
Neji read and reread the words in disbelief. "Who..." He trailed off. He'd noticed that all the graves in the graveyard looked fresh, but Naruto's and Sasuke's looked the freshest. As if they'd been dug up just hours before the memorial service. "It can't be." But the sinking feeling in his gut was telling him otherwise.

Hinata went home with Sakura after the memorial service was over. They'd just been hanging out watching tv for hours. Hinata got up to leave when it started to get dark. Sakura started to walk her out when he cellphone rang. "Hello?"
"Sakura. It's Neji."
"I thought I told you not to call me anymore after everything was over."
"Sakura...it's not over. Meet me at the cemetary."
"Neji, let it go!" Sakura said. "I just want to get on with my life!" Before Neji could protest she flipped the phone closed.

Neji stared at the phone with an angry expression on his face. 'Well, I'll just have to do this myself.' He grabbed his car keys and headed out the door. He broke the speed limit all the way to the cemetary and luckily wasn't pulled over. He knew the cemetary always closed early so he'd have complete privacy. It was a simple matter to pick the lock on the toolshed and steal a shovel. He made his way through the rows of headstones until he reached his destination. He glanced between the two headstones before deciding on Naruto's grave.
Even though the earth was still freashly dug, it took him over an hour of constant digging until his shovel came into contact with the casket. He stood over the large box panting and trying to calm his nerves before bending over and opening the smaller top door. It was empty. "Shit."
"Nice choice of words." Neji slowly looked up expecting Naruto to be the one who'd said the words, but the blonde was nowhere in sight.
"Sasuke?" Sasuke was indeed looking down at him from outside the hole. "B-but-"
"Yeah. It's a bit surprising, I know." Sasuke picked up Neji's discarded shovel.
"But how?"
"Deidara and Itachi couldn't stand that we were gone and brought us back. They didn't use the same curse that brought Naruto back the first time. They just used one that would bring us back. No pain. No hatred." Sasuke explained. "We've been alive for a couple of days. The funereal workers just buried empty boxes. Deidara and Itachi only came to the memorial sevice to keep up appearances. They ever faked the conversations they had her in case anyone was listening to them."
"Whrere's Naruto?" Neji asked as he eased away from Sasuke. The way he was holding the shovel didn't sit well with him.
"He's at home resting. Being brought back to life twice was a little much for him so we're going to take a vacation. I just thought I should tie up some loose ends for him before we left."
"Loose ends?"
"You." Sasuke eyes seemed to almost glow red. "You hurt him. You caused him pain for years just to make yourself look tough. And he can't seem to let go of his hatred for you. So I just thought I should take you out."
"Wait!" Neji held up his hands as Sasuke raised the shovel.
"Sorry. I don't feel like waiting." With almost blinding speed Sasuke brought the flat part of the shovel down on Neji's head. The younger man crumpled down onto the coffin, unconcious. Sasuke looked down at him for a few minutes before he started refilling the grave. When he was done he placed the shovel back in the toolshed and drove away. He knew someone would notice that the toolshed had been broken into and all the fresh graves would be dug up and checked for robbery. But he knew by then Neji would have suffocated and he and Naruto would be long gone.

Naruto kept changing positions in Sasue's bed but he couldn't seem to get comfortable. He wanted Sasuke to be there with him. Just as he was about to get up the bedroom door opened and Sasuke walked in. "Where were you?"
"Just taking care of a few things." Sasuke took off his coat and tossed it in the clothes hamper. He got in the bed and pulled Naruto into his arms. "But I'm here now."
"Forever?" Naruto asked quietly.
"Yeah." Sasuke smirked. "Forever."

A/N: So what do you think? In case that smirk at the end didn't give you a hint, Sasuke's a little bit evil now and Naruto's been pretty much returned to normal. Cheezy way to end the story? Probably.
But I'm just glad I'm done. Writing and editing the whole thing took about a month.
I wanted to have the whole thing uploaded by my birthday and I succeeded! Yay!
And in case your wondering, I didn't kill the characters because I hate them. The only character who died that I don't like is Kabuto. I can't stand Kabuto.
And so...the story's over...I bid you farewell.
