When Gaara Subaku opened his eyes, the first thing that hit him was the bright light. Groaning, the redhead pulled the pillow over his head and peeked at his clock. At first the digits were just numbers in his head, but he jumped up when he realized the time. He only had about one minute to get ready! Why hadn’t Temari or Kankuro come and warn him? Damn them!

Gaara pulled on a random outfit and grabbed his pack before heading to the bathroom. Messing with his hair slightly, Gaara didn’t bother looking into the mirror because he just didn’t care how he looked. After brushing his teeth, the small redhead barged downstairs and grabbed a banana when he saw his siblings walking out the house. WTF?

Running after them, Gaara jumped into the car steaming all the way. This was slighty strange but not a surprise. Kankuro, who was driving, and Temari, who always rode shotgun, were exchanging conversation, not really bother to turn and check if their younger brother had manage to get in. This pissed Gaara even more, but he cooled off with a meditative process that he learned. The rest of the car ride was silent on behalf of the little redhead.

A little put off, Gaara slid into his seat. He decided to wave the weird feeling off. The sun was pouring into the classroom. Since his desk was in the back and closer to the window, Gaara just stared out the window. He watches students filling into the building, some panicking not to be late and others taking their time leisurely. Gaara’s mind started to wander. Is he going to see Neji today? Since the Hyuga was a year older, the chances were slim like always. A sigh slipped past his pale lips when the first bell rang and five minutes the second one was heard.

Gaara watched as the teacher begins roll call. This teacher had a tendency to forget things so it wasn’t unusual when Gaara’s name was skipped as well as some other. But what was weird was later on in the class.

The redhead sat there for a moment before shrugging and lying his head down. If he wasn’t going to get the worksheet, might as well sleep then blame the teacher. See, what happened was this. When the teacher, whose name was of no importance to Gaara, passed out the worksheets, there was one less in his row. So Gaara must have sat there for a minute with his hand stupidly in air, but the teacher didn’t pay any attention. So here he was…might as well just sleep.

Gaara sat down at the lunch table and glanced around. This morning was so weird for him. People were just ignoring him. Also Gaara thought it was some sick joke and was ready to kill when someone had cleared out his locker. And then…Neji. When Gaara was walking to third period, he saw the older boy and waved, but apparently either Neji didn’t see or didn’t care because he just walked off. This annoyed Gaara to no end turning math so he ended up not doing the work, not like he cared.

When he heard a big, “Hiya!” Gaara forced a smile at the blond. But for some reason…those blue eyes just pass by him too. The redhead look behind him to see Sasuke Uchiha walk by…he always suspected something between those two.

“Naruto, we can hear you just fine,” Shikamaru Nara sighed as he plopped into a seat.

“Yeah, so shut it bubbly,” Kiba snorted.

Naruto Uzumaki’s eyes focused back and he shot a playful glare and a pout.

The group settled down and they started talking about random things. Gaara just leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes. Finally something normal! It was usually like this, playful banter and midget quarrel, with Gaara silently watching. He mused to himself how much things have changed. In the beginning of the year, where Gaara was new to the school, he had been closed off and well…violent. But now…after meeting Naruto, things started to get brighter for him. And then he met Neji…

“Yeah know…it’s been three months.” Shino Aburame quietly stated.

A wave of silence befell upon the table and Gaara opened his eyes in curiosity. Even Shikamaru was awake.

“What are you talking about, Bugboy?” Gaara asked annoyed that he was left out.

No one said anything for a moment and the redhead sighed angrily.

“Happy birthday, Gaara,” Shino said, well…more like stated since he seemed like he was talking to himself.

Totally forgetting that, Gaara opened his mouth to answer when Kiba Inuzuka growled.

“Hey, here comes Hyuga! Shush!”

The table silently watched as Neji approached them.

“Naruto, please give tonight’s homework to Hinata.” Neji quietly told the blond.

Naruto nods his head, understanding.

Gaara glanced at the bouquet of roses that Neji was holding tenderly. “Who are those for?”

Neji said nothing and walked off.

“That bastard…” The redhead glared and jumped out of his seat.

Naruto’s usual happy face disappeared and his eyes stared off.

Gaara barged after the boy with anger etched into his face. So what if his siblings and friends were ignoring him? So what if his teachers and classmates were acting like he didn’t exist? That was normal! Well…except for Naruto, but anyway! This? This wasn’t! Hyuga never, and he implied never, give him a silent treatment before! In fact, it was this beautiful white-eyed boy who saved him! Save him from falling into the faceless crowd. He was always visible to Neji!

“Neji, what the hell is going on? Why are you ignoring me?”

The older boy stopped walking.

“Is there something going on? Did I do something wrong? Tell me, Neji!” Gaara glared with so much hatred and…pain at the flowers in Neji’s arms.

The Hyuga glared at nothing in particular.

“Neji…”

The red-head whispered mournfully as the other just walked out.

Gaara waited a moment before glaring and following.

Neji got out of his car and paused at the gates of the cemetery. Looking up, Neji smiled sadly, he remembered the weather was similar to the funeral. With a small sigh, the white-eyed boy walked down a familiar path to his destination.

Gaara watched silently with Neji being unaware. The older boy kneels down and places the flowers down.

The confused redhead blinked, trying to figure out whose gravestone this was. Knowing that the Hyuga had a family tomb, he felt dread flow through him.

“…and those eyes.”

Gaara quickly pulled his attention back to Neji who was talking to the grave. Pain and sorrow were laced into his words and all Gaara wanted to do was pull the boy into a hug and tell him everything was going to be ok. But with the events before, he couldn’t.

“…I’m sorry!” the white-eyed boy begins to shout. Startled, Gaara stepped forward a bit wondering what’s going on. “I’m such a terrible person! I never thought—why? Why this? I’m a horrible friend and a terrible lover!”

The silent boy reeled back a bit, did Neji say lover? So Neji was cheating on him?

“I miss your rare smiles and touches! I even miss your silence! All I want is your presence again! I don’t care if I can’t have you anymore! All I want—all that I need…” Tears rolled down those pale cheeks.

The Hyuga angrily wiped at his eyes and he stalked off, leaving Gaara even more confused. He peeked at the words on the stone, only to fall on to his knees. With trembling hands, Gaara traced the engraved letters gently.

Rest In Peace

Rest In Soul

Forever remembered

As a friend

As a lover

In the parking lot, Neji felt like he was being haunted but he ignored it and whispered gently, “Gaara…”

A/N:…hehe…a werid fic, I know…I can’t believe I killed Gaara…YES I KILLED GAARA! READ BETWEEN THE LINES!...sigh…it’s not like any of my haunting fics…it was hard because I wanted it to be different…also trying to keep Naruto for being a dead giveaway that Gaara’s gone was hard! I know it’s short and there WON’T be a sequel because I squeezed too much brain juice on this ONESHOT!

I know I know I KNOW! Ya all's wondering what's with this lunatic...updating, putting up stories like wild daisies popping up in a weeded field. I just remembered this fic so I decided to post it, so deal with it. I'll take it down if no one likes it.
