Won't Deny I Want To Die

Prologue

Sakura is now an official Junín a high ninja rank. She moved from the leaf and is now a sand ninja.

She became great friends with Gaara, her full time mission partner. They have become very close over the three years they have been a team. So close that they have fallen in love, but they are both to stubborn to admit to it. They are strong willed and, even though they hide their love for one another, they are still protective over the other.

Sakura wrote in her diary:

'I wish I could tell him how I really feel. It's like everyone but he is the only one who cannot tell he's such a bone head'

Sakura was called to Tsunade and was given a briefing for the mission she and Gaara were to go on. Tsunade told her, "Child, I took you as my apprentice because I thought you were a bright student and I really don't think you should go on this mission. I think Gaara can handle it on his own."

Tsunade was telling her the day before about how the men on this mission working for the enemy wants her dead and are the men who had killed her father, but Sakura insisted that she goes as she is now. "But I have to go with Gaara. I love him. I want to stay with him always!"

So Tsunade told her, "Okay Sakuras, but please be careful. I really don't feel like having you die on this mission. I mean, everyone from the leaf will be so sad and not to mention Gaara would be devastated. So you better come back in one piece!"

Then Gaara came in and Sakura got the briefing for the mission. Tsunade left out the part about Sakura being in all that danger and gave them both all the little details about the men that they are up against and the roads that they will be taking.
