Disclaimer: I do not own any of the content in my story, although I really wish I did, it would be awesome, but sadly it all belongs to Masashi Kishimto and whichever publishing company he uses and the magazines his manga goes into, and I know I've forgotten to say this every time, but the credit also goes the company that created the Naruto anime, and the one presently creating the Naruto: Shippuden anime.

Warning: This story contains Shounen-ai/Yaoi/Slash-Fiction/boyxboy which is boys love, so if you are not open-minded or your religion does not approve of this, you might get scarred for life, so you should go back to the previous page. I hope you do read this and open your mind a little, but if not whatever.

A/N: OMg, I love this chapter, not really, I honestly hate Sakura, she is really annoying, but she can have Sasuke for all I care. Although I like Ino better, I don't know, just my opinion I guess. Did you know ino means boar, that's why Sakura always used to call her ino-pig, I just thought that was funny. Omg, six days until teen wolf premiers, I can't wait. Sorry about yesterday, the website wasn't letting me put chapter seven up, it sucked. I'm sorry about that; lately my chapters have been pretty small. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it ^-^!

Chapter 9

Naruto's POV

"Naruto, Naruto, are you okay?" Gaara's familiar voice called to my barely conscious body. I opened my eyes lazily.

"Good morning Gaara." I said. I could remember everything, I wasn't a girl, what was I thinking? But it was so much more fun being a girl; I think I'll stay a girl.

"Naruto, thank god, I was so worried about you."

"Thanks for worrying Gaara, I remember everything now". I said as I pulled on his collar and pulled his lips to mine. They were welcomed and familiar; he didn't try to push me away, but accepted them graciously as our lips connected. I put my other hand on his collar and kept him pressed up against my lips. Then I let go and caught my breath. I looked back at him with a captivating smile on my face.

"What? That's great!" he said as he wrapped his arms around me. Then he looked into my eyes with teary eyes and a grateful smile on his face. I smiled back at him. I didn't mind that I was wearing girl clothes, and clearly, neither did he. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his shoulder and felt tears streaming down my face as the memories rushed back. My feelings, my thoughts, and the way I felt towards Sasuke.

I was glad I had saved him, but I was still haunted by the memory of what he had done. And I was especially sickened by how he took advantage of me when I was amnesiac. How could he do that? I mean, I didn't know he felt that way, but now I'm pretty sure why he was doing that, I'm not as ignorant as I was before. I could tell he obviously like me. God, why would Sasuke do something like that? It just made me so pissed.

Then I remembered our fight at the valley of the End and that stirred up even more hatred towards him. Why was Sasuke like that? I wish I hadn't even saved him. I'm glad Ino had taken away from my sight. I only wanted to be with Gaara. Even if I regained my memories, my feelings for Gaara hadn't depleted in the slightest. I held onto him tightly, and let the tears soak into the fabric of his shirt.

"Gaara…"

"Yes?"

"I love you!" I said quietly into his ear.

"I love you too. And I'm glad that you still love me even after you regained your memories." He whispered back at me then kissed my forehead lightly. I looked up at him and smiled and gently kissed his forehead. He blushed and I'm pretty sure I was blushing too, but I could care less. I let go then reached down and held onto his hand tightly. We walked away from the school and headed towards my house. Totally forgetting about my near death fall, we walked to my apartment.

When we go there we sat down and talked about stuff. I mostly talked about my ordeal with Sasuke and how I felt about it. How much I hated Sasuke for it, and how I regretted saving him. I truly hated him now. He no longer meant anything to me, and I no longer cared for him. I think I had used to love him, but when someone puts you so close to death, you kind of rethink your opinion of them. I didn't want anything to do with him; I had only saved him because Sakura had begged me. She hadn't even thanked me earlier when she saw me with 'him'. I felt anger welling up inside me then I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder.

I leaned my head onto the shoulder and smiled as I looked up at the man I had new found love for. He grinned back at me softly then his head bent forward and our lips met. They were soft and welcomed, and by far the most loving kiss we had shared. It quelled the flames of hatred I had burning in my heart and replaced them with the calming waves of the love we shared. He touch comforted me and I wanted more with every second we were connected.

I pulled back and got up to sit on his lap. I put my butt on his knees, my legs on either side of him, and he bent forward to resume our kiss. I pushed my tongue forward and felt his lips opening for me. My tongue touched his and I put my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I put my knees on the cushion of the couch and pushed him back until he was leaning back onto the couch completely.

I felt my heart beating fast in my chest, except it was even faster than the first time I laid my eyes on Gaara. Everywhere he touched my body, it burned. I felt myself blushing, but my eyes were closed as our lips were connected. I pushed my pelvis forward and Gaara jumped but calmed down in a few seconds. I felt his tongue playing with mine and smiled mid kiss. I really loved him. Gaara was my other half, and I wish I could stay with him my entire life.

I ached for his touch to last longer but after a while we eventually stopped and continued talking about our lives and such. He told me about his childhood and what it was like being a jinjuuriki growing up. His hardships were similar to mine, save the assassins. I could only imagine the horror he must have gone through when he had to kill the only person he had ever loved with his own hands. He had to watch him die right in front of him. That was the time when he got the 'ai' tattoo on his forehead.

I told him about my childhood and the scorn and contempt I had undergone as a child. The villagers had hated me, and I'm pretty sure some of them still did. But I could ignore it now, I had gotten used to it over the years. I could stand the glares and their words without caring any more. But as long as I had Gaara to lean on for help, I could cry to my heart's content with all the sadness I've bottled up over the years.

I leaned my head on Gaara's shoulder and closed my eyes. Shortly after I drifted into a dreamless sleep full of nothing but and endless void in every direction. When I woke up the sun was shining through the window and Gaara's eyes were closed, but I knew he wasn't sleeping. He opened his eyes and looked down at me.

"Good morning, Gaara!" I said enthusiastically, wiping the sleep from my eyes. He smiled at me.

"Good morning, Naruto-Chan." He said in his friendly voice.

"What time is it?"

"nine o clock."

"What, it's already that time!" I said frantically, jumping of the couch, but falling in the attempt. "Ouch." I said rubbing my head. That make is the third time in a three day span to have injured my head. I rubbed it until the pain disappeared and I smiled at Gaara embarrassed.

"You okay." He said as he got off the couch and extended a helping hand towards me. I grabbed and, he must have been stronger than I expected, because he pulled me up faster than I expected. I ended up falling on him and knocking him down with me onto the couch. Or faces were right in front of each other, and my body was sprawled out on top of his. Our eyes met and we both blushed instantly.

"Uhmm… Sorry Gaara." I said as I jumped off of him, not falling on my face this time. I guess love makes you clumsy. I smiled to myself. "So, do we have to see Tsunade again today?" I said tilting my head and crossing my arms.

"I would assume so."

"Okay, well I guess we should go then." I said and held out my hand. Then I realised I was still wearing the same things I was yesterday. I rushed to the bathroom and found my bag of clothes was still in there along with all the makeup I had dumped onto the counter. I took off my clothes then realized I had forgotten to close the door behind me. I turned around slowly, half naked, and saw Gaara staring at me. I hastily closed the door and continued to get dressed, but I took off the bra, it felt weird now that I knew I wasn't a girl. I put on an outfit and wiped off all my makeup from yesterday and put new stuff on. I put on the finishing touches and walked back into the room where Gaara was sitting.

"Ready?" he said as he got up off the couch.

"Okay." We went to the Hokage building and Tsunade was over joyed when she found out my Amnesia had been cured, and gladly, she didn't say anything about my new found love for cross-dressing. I was thankful for that. Gaara asked if he could stay in the leaf for another month, and Tsunade saw nothing wrong with that. So we went back to my house after a bunch of reminiscing.

We walked into the doors of my apartment and plopped ourselves down onto the couch. Gaara and I talked for a while then he came across an interesting topic.

"Naruto?"

"Yes?"

"I saw you that night…"

"What night?"

"Well, you were practising a jutsu and you looked like an extremely beautiful woman when you were standing on a rock. I don't know how I knew it was you, but somehow I did. You were really pretty. You looked like an angel…" his words faded and my face went scarlet.

"You saw that?"

"Yah…"

"How embarrassing." I said.

"No I thought you were beautiful."

"Thank you." I leaned over to him and our lips met together. " I love you."

Not TBC…

A/N: Finished my second Fan fiction, I'm so proud of myself. Ah, love. I'm in love right now, although, sadly he doesn't know of my love, Gah! Why is it so hard to confess your feelings? And I hear, that there's more chance of accepting if the guy asks the girl. It's driving me crazy. Right now were just friends, but I hope we could be so much more, gah! And I'm glad no one actually reads these, but if you do, thank you, you make me feel so appreciated. Well it has been fun writing another Fan fiction for my readers, well until next time ^-^!
