Hey it's my FIRST story! I hope you like it. If you hate it let me know.

A pink headed little girl, about five years old, woke up to the sound of her mother's voice.

"Sakura you going to sleep all day!?!?" her Mother yelled.

"I'm up!" She yelled back to her mother.

"Not that I need to, it's just another day by myself," She thought.

Sakura lives in Suna. Her Mother and Father are ninja that move around A LOT. Sakura move here about two weeks ago. Sakura was a small girl with pink hear and beautiful emerald green eyes.

Sakura sat up in her little cream colored twin bed. She never liked to make things to flashy. Her room was an average sized room, with light colored pink walls. She had a little char with a pink cushion in the corner. There was a white dresser on the far wall.

Sakura got out of bed in her red PJ's and walked over to the dresser and grabbed a little hair brush then, she brushed her hair and walked over to her door where there was a full length sized mirror.

She looked in the mirror and pulled her hair over her face.

Sakura never liked how she looked. All the kids said she had a huge forehead. The kids would always laugh at her and never let her play with them.

Sakura put on a navy shirt and tan cargo pants. Then she ran down stairs eager to get some food.

Down at breakfast Sakura sat at the table eating some rice. Her mother was washing dishes from last night. Her father sat next to her and ate quietly.

When Sakura finished eating she hopped up and walked over to her mother.

"Mommy, can I go to the park today?" she said with the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

Her mother looked down at her daughter then looked at her husband.

"O alright but be home before 7:00, ok?" her mother said.

Sakura smiled and hugged her mother then ran to the door.

"I will I promise" she yelled going out the door.

Sakura walked down the street looking around. She saw some kids playing jump rope, so she walked over to them and asked if she could play.

"H-h-h-hey c-can I p-p-play with you?" she asked getting the last two words out with some confidence.

"We already have an even number of people and no one wants the pink freak with a huge forehead," a boy with blue eyes and black hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in forever.

"O ok," she said with tears in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall.

Sakura had been told to be a ninja she couldn't cry, and that is what she wanted to be.

"I won't cry. I won't cry" she thought.

She thought about all the other times kids made fun of her so she hit the boy right in the nose.

"Ahh what you do that for?!?!?!" the boy said while holding he's bleeding nose.

"That is for calling me a pink freak with a huge forehead!" she said like she never did anything.

Sakura was actually very surprised that she hit him. She had always got mad at people but never hit anyone.

The boy glared at the little pink haired girl, then raised his hand and was about to hit her. When out of nowhere sand came and wrapped around the boy's wrist and flung him into a tree. He was knocked out.

All the girls and boys that was at the play ground started to run like there was no tomorrow. One of the boys running stopped and picked up the boy that was knockout.

Sakura stood there shocked. (What happened?) She thought.

When Sakura turned around she saw a boy that looked like he was her age. He had blood red hair and eyes almost like hers. He wore a black shirt with black pants. It looked like he had on a lot of eyeliner on. He also had a teddy bear in his arms.


Gaara was walking to the park where he always sat on the swing in he's favorite black shirt and pants. He had his teddy bear with him to keep him company.

Gaara is a jinchuuriki with the one tailed beast Shukaku in side of him. Everyone feared him, even his own family. Gaara was always alone.

He was walking by a couple of kids, when he saw a little girl with pink hair. He stopped to see what was happening.

"Never seen her before" he thought

"Well kid if you looked around your dad's office you would see that a family moved here from the leaf village,"Shukaku said.

Shukaku could talk to Gaara throw he's mind, and the thing never left him alone.

"Why don't we stay and watch what happens?"It said

"Why would I do that when I could go to my swing and let it be?" He thought to the demon.

He listened in on the conversation between the girl with pink hair and the boy who needed a bath.

"H-h-h-hey c-can I p-p-play with you?" the girl with pink hair asked.

"We already have an even number of people and no one wants the pink freak with a huge forehead," the boy said.

Gaara looked around and saw that he was lying. There were 13 kids playing on the field with the boy. Gaara felt sorry for her he knew how bad it felt to be left out.

Suddenly the girl with pink hair hit the dirty boy right in the nose. The boy throw his hands up to try and stop the bleeding.

"She hit him!"Gaara thought

"I told you to stay. Why would you ever doubt me?"Shukaku said.

"O I don't know, maybe because you destroyed my life."Gaara thought.

Gaara looked back over to the kids and saw that the boy was going to hit the girl. Gaara, on instinct, made his sand go for the boy a throw him into a tree. The boy was knocked out cold.

Gaara watched as all the kids saw him and ran away. He felt sad seeing them run away from him but didn't show it. The little girl with pink hair turned around and looked at him.

"Now she's going to run to. Just like the others," Gaara thought sadly.

"Hang on their kid," Shukaku said. "Look in her eyes"

Gaara looked over at the girl and in to her eyes. He looked really hard but saw no fear. He saw a little sadness with some curiosity. Gaara was confused he always saw fear and hate in peoples' eyes.

"Did you stop that boy from hitting me?" She asked.

Gaara looked around to see if she was talking to someone else, but no one was there.

"Are you talking to me?" he asked pointing at himself surprised.

"Well yeah who else is there, silly," she said.

It was an understatement to say that Gaara was surprised. There isn't even a word for how shocked he was. No one ever talked to him, EVER.

"See, kid she didn't run, now did she?" Shukaku said.

"I'm Sakura, Haruno Sakura. Thanks for stopping that kid." She said with a big smile on. She held out her hand.

Gaara just looked at her hand like it was a bomb or something. "I won't hurt you I promise," Sakura said sweetly. The truth is Gaara never really talked to people are had physical contact. So he reached over and took her hand. When their hands made contact he closed he's eyes for a second until he realized that nothing bad happened. It felt like forever until they let go. Gaara smiled so big he though he lips where going to split.

"So can I play with you?" She asked.

"YES!!!!!" He said very happily and excitedly.

Gaara grabbed Sakura's arm and ran to the swings. The swings were kind of old but the playground was wonderful. Gaara pulled Sakura onto one of the swings and sat in another one. He smiled and stated to swing back and forth. Sakura sat there watching him. She had a big smile on her face. Gaara looked at Sakura and saw that she was just sitting there.

"Are you going to swing?" He asked while he stopped to look at her with curious eyes.

"Well…I kina don't ….um….know how to swing." She said sadly and embarrassedly. Gaara hoped off the swing and walked over to Sakura and bent down so he could see her down cased face.

"It's ok. I'll show you." He said as he stood up strait. He grabbed the chain to her swing and pulled her back and pushed her high up. Sakura was surprised that someone was pushing her on the swings. She had never had any one do that. She suddenly smiled almost as big as Gaara did, almost.

After Sakura was high enough Gaara jumped up and landed on the swing with one foot on either side of Sakura. At this sudden movement Sakura was startled. Sakura looked up at Gaara as he shifted his weight to keep the swing going. She smiled and laughed while Gaara looked at her and laughed along with her.

For the first time in his life Gaara was happy and Shukaku didn't say one thing the rest of the time with Sakura.


Sakura and Gaara had been playing all day. They were lying under the stars at the playground. It was dark and starting to get cold. Sakura snuggled up to Gaara and started to get tired.

Sakura suddenly shot up with big eyes. "What time is it!?!?!" She said.

"Well I'm guessing maybe 8:00." Gaara said kina confused.

"O NO!!!!!! I told my mom I was going to be home at 7:00!!!!" Sakura was freaking out. "I'll come back tomorrow I promise." She bent down and gave him a hug.

"Ok but only if you come back to the swings at 8:00 tomorrow morning."

"I will" She gave him a huge and ran off to her home.

Gaara sat there thinking about how much fun he had with Sakura.

"So kid what are you going to do now?" Shukaku asked.

"I don't know."

"I think you should follow her. Something's going to happen and I think you should go and see if anything bad happens to her."

"What are you crazy?"

"Just do it. I was right when we first saw her don't you think I'll be right again."

"Ok ok I'll look and see."

Sakura got home and saw her mother in the living room.

"I thought you said you would be back at 7:00 young lady." Her mother said.

"I know but I MADE A FRIEND!!!!!!!!!" Sakura said very excitedly.

Her mom looked at her with kind eyes. "O is that so."

"Yep he's really sweet and nice and and and" Sakura said so fast her mother could barely understand.

"Clam down and breath." Her mother said while shaking her shoulders. "So you are going to see your new little friend tomorrow?" She said as she went to the kitchen to warm up so food for Sakura.

Sakura hoped into the kitchen behind her mom and sat at the table.

"Yep I'm going to see him at 8:00" she said happily as her mom put some chicken, broccoli, and rice in a blow and into the microwave. (My fav.)

"Well that's nice. Your father should be back tomorrow." She said as she took out the blow and put it in front of her.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Sakura's mother went over to answer it. Then Sakura heard her mom scream. Sakura ran to the door and saw her mom lying on the floor dead.

"MOM!!!!" she cried. Sakura ran over to her mother and sat down next to her body. She looked over to the person who killed her mother. He had black close on and wore a mask. You couldn't really see him that well in the dark.


Gaara was watching as Sakura's mom as she went to the door. He watched as 3 kunai get logged into her head. Blood went everywhere. Sakura ran over and sat down by her mother's body. Gaara saw as the person who killed Sakura's mother getting ready to kill Sakura so he made the sand create a shelled in front of Sakura.

Gaara appeared in a whorl of sand beside Sakura. As the sand fell they saw that their attacker was gone. Gaara looked down at Sakura as she cried. Her dress had her mom's blood on it and Sakura looked like she was going to die right there and then. He bent down to the small little girl and hugged her as she cried.

Sakura laid there in Gaara's arms crying. She held on to him like her life deepened on it. She didn't care if she was covered in blood all she cared about was Gaara.
