''Hello my little blossom!''
Sakura yelped when she found two arms around her stomach.
''Sasuke, ''she whispered. His arms were so protective, so warm. She wanted that this moment would last forever.
However, it did not. At the next moment, her mom waked her. ''Sakura, it's already noon. You must come out of your bed.'' 'It was only a dream. A dream that would never come true. Its cruel, it is tormenting. Why can't I have a happy life?' She came out of her bed like a zombie, not caring what her mom or anybody thought.
Concerned, her mom went to kitchen. She understood that her 17-year-old daughter wanted to be alone.
Changing clothes, she thought how everybody but her was happy. Ino got Shino, Temari got Shikamaru, Kiba got Akamaru, TenTen got Neji, Hinata got Naruto, and Lee got Sai (A/N: Yes! In the end, they understood that both of them were gay.)
Now when she was in her outfit, she opened her window and stared at the beautiful cherry blossom tree that grew under it. Heck, even the tree was happier. So what is wrong with her?
Suddenly, a gush of wind came and with it was one little pink blossom. She caught it with hands and held it softly. It was so pretty and to her it remembered a little pink heart.
'What the hell am I doing? Just moping around about some jerk! It is not me! I'm cheery Sakura Haruno!'
She put that blossom into her pocket and smiled. Today she will be happy like always.
Konoha hospital. Place were Sakura worked. She loved helping people. It started when Lady Tsunade begun teaching her. Then she decided to be strong, not a usual wallflower. Then she decided to begun living. Then why was she moping just at the morning. This is her life! Moreover, she does not get another chance to live it!
Looking at the folder, she saw that her next patient is in the room 344.
She knocked on the door and entered. On the bed was sitting bloody redhead who wear only pants. He had cuts and bruises all over his body. At the nearer examination, she recognizes the Kazekage. (A/N: Shukaku is already removed.) 'It's Gaara. Who did this to him?'
She almost run to him and started to examine the wounds. ''Please lie down, so I can heal them!'' Gaara eyes widened. ''You don't fear me? Moreover, you are ready to help me?'' Spoke low but somewhat balmy voice. ''Shush!'' ordered calm nurse. ''Lie down and shut up! If I do not heal those, you may die.'' Obeying to the pink haired ninja, he led down and was quiet.
Her hands glowed green and she put them above the cuts and bruises.
After healing, the glowing stopped and Sakura breathed easier. ''Your injuries are all right now, but you must stay in the hospital for three more days to rest. Lie and rest.'' She stepped to the door and opened it. ''And to answer your question. I do not fear my patients. Especially patients who are my friends.'' With one last sweet smile, she stepped out of the door and closed it.
Since then visited Sakura Gaara every day. Surprisingly she felt good when she was with him. They talked about everything and Sakura grew close with him. She started to see how handsome Gaara really was. His sea green eyes and red hair.
Nevertheless, today is the day when Gaara gets out of the Hospital and goes back to Suna.
This is the last time she walks toward his hospital room. Silently she knocked onto the door and stepped in. Her look was on her shoes when she talked. ''You can go now. Hospital will not hold you down anymore.'' She started to go away but something got her hand. 'Sand?' she thought. It spans her around where her lips met his. His soft lips on hers. It was bliss. Gaara broke the kiss and tilted himself forward. ''Thank you! I hope I see you soon. My little blossom….'' His voice was so sensitive, so good, so kind… At the next minute, he was gone. However, one thing was sure, he will come back. To her little blossom. Smilingly, Sakura put her hand into the pocket. There it was. The little blossom of love.
