A/N – This is a Kaka/Saku story, it hints to Gaara/Saku, but it is not! I would never write a Gaara/Saku story! Never ever!
To See His Face
Chapter One: Trust Me
Sakura Haruno ran skilfully through the forest, looking over her shoulder every ten seconds.
Gaara of the sand had attacked Team Seven, and they had lost each other, in the thick forest surrounding them. Team Seven consisted of; Naruto Uzumaki, a blond haired, blue eyed, goof ball, Sasuke Uchiha, a serious, strong, yet was close to being an ass, hotshot, and Kakashi Hatake, their perverted sensei.
Usually, on Kakashi's orders, they stayed where they were, until he found them. Unfortunately for Sakura, that wasn't an option.
Sakura glanced over her shoulder, as the young, red headed boy from the sand chased her.
This was getting hard; Sakura knew that in a few more seconds Gaara would catch up to her. So, as Sakura ran, she turned slightly, and threw a handful of shurikens, and kunai knives at Gaara. He dodged them by disappearing, and reappearing directly in front of her. Sakura jumped back, and landed in front of a large tree. She readied a kunai in her hands, and glared at Gaara.
Gaara smirked at her, "Why don't you lower your weapon?"
"HELL NO!" Sakura shouted, as though he was insane.
"Come on," Gaara said in a slightly annoyed voice, while taking a few steps towards her, "You, and me. We are almost identical."
"No we aren't!" Sakura shouted.
"Sure we are," Gaara said, and then he lunged forward, and pinned Sakura to the tree behind her, "Can't you see it?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sakura spat.
"We're alone," Gaara whispered into Sakura ear.
Sakura's eyes widened at Gaara's words, and her stomach knotted, "What?"
"We are all alone," Gaara repeated in more detail, "Without anyone."
"I HAVE MY FRIENDS," Sakura shouted, trying to get Gaara off her.
"Friends?" Gaara laughed, "You don't actually believe in 'friends', do you?"
Sakura's stomach clenched, it was getting harder, and harder to suppress the feeling in the pit of her stomach, the feeling that kept telling her one thing, over, and over.
Gaara is right.

Naruto stood ready for an attack, kunai before him, eyes surveying the area around him swiftly.
Naruto turned sharply as he heard a rustle from the bush behind him, he surveyed the bush, then two shadows appeared, and Naruto ready his one kunai, while drawing another.
"It's Kakashi, and Sasuke, Naruto," Kakashi's voice came from one of the shadow figures. The two shadows emerged and the forms of Kakashi, and Sasuke appeared.
"Hands," Naruto said, not lowering the kunai knives.
Both shadows held out there right hands, and Naruto saw a small leaf symbol painted in black paint. Team Seven had decided on this as a way to tell if it was an imposture.
Naruto lowered his kunai knives, and sighed, with his eyes downcast, "That's a relief."
Naruto's eyes then snapped back up to look at Kakashi and Sasuke, "Hey, wait, where's Sakura-chan!"
"We don't know," Sasuke, answered, "We've search the surrounding area, and we haven't found her."
"That must mean that," Naruto started, he almost couldn't bring himself to say it, "That must mean…GAARA HAS HER!"
Naruto made for the closet forest path, but Kakashi ran and grabbed him by the collar of his orange jumpsuit.
"We can't act irrationally," Kakashi said.
"But, we have to go save her!" Naruto shouted at Kakashi, "Who knows what that evil monster will do to her!"
"Naruto," Kakashi said; Naruto was starting to make him think of horrible things that could be happening to Sakura, but Kakashi suppressed the urge to run off and find her in a mad rage.
"Naruto," Sasuke spoke up, walking towards them, "Kakashi sensei is right, we have to think this through. Though, we should think this through quickly. Sakura's so weak, she's probably fainted, and Gaara's just carrying her away, without any trouble."
Kakashi glanced at Sasuke, "That's a little mean to say, Sasuke."
"It's not mean," Sasuke, said, "It's just the simple truth."

Sakura stared at Gaara, as his body pinned her to the tree.
"You're all alone," Gaara said once more, "No one cares about you. They think you're weak. They all hate you. Which is what everyone thinks of me. So, you see, we are the same."
Sakura's stomach was in a million knots, she knew damn well that Gaara was right, about a few things, at least, that no one cared for her, that they all thought she was weak, and most of all, that everyone hated her.
"Come with me," Gaara told her.
Sakura stared, "Come with me to the sand."
Sakura continued to stare, "What?"
"You can be my wife there," Gaara said, "You can become a ninja of the sand, and be loved by me."
Sakura's mind swirled, Gaara? I can be Gaara's wife? And be loved by…him?
Sakura paused in her thinking, Gaara, Would he really do that? Love me?
Sakura looked up into Gaara's eyes, "How…how can I trust you?"
Gaara looked back at her and asked, "How can you trust them?"

Kakashi looked at his two students then spoke, "I want you two to stay here, alright?"
"What? No way!" Naruto protested.
"This isn't up for debate!" Kakashi barked at Naruto.
"Okay, just…" Naruto paused, "Just bring her back, okay?"
Kakashi smirked, "Of course, I couldn't let our favourite little strawberry get soured by the taste of sand."
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Whatever, just bring her back."
"Right," Kakashi said, and he took off through the forest in search of Sakura.

Sakura just stared at Gaara, not knowing how to answer him, "I don't know."
"Then, why can't you trust me?" Gaara asked her; Sakura bit her lip, "You don't even have to trust me completely."
Sakura's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"
"Just trust me enough, to let me perform a jutsu on you, that will let you see the truth," Gaara told her.
Again, Sakura bit her lip, what do I do? Should I trust Gaara, Gaara of the sand?
"Trust me," Gaara whispered.
Sakura stared at him, "Okay, I'll trust you."
Gaara held a hand in front of him, and started making hand signs, with the other, he placed a single finger on the bridge of Sakura's nose, and then, under his breathe, whispered, "Sandy Eyes Jutsu!"
There was a sudden burst of sand that erupted from the point of Gaara's finger that was touching Sakura; she fell backwards holding her face and screaming.
"Aaaah!" Sakura yelled, "Gaara!"
"You will see the truth soon enough, Sakura," Gaara told her, "Until that time, farewell."
"GAARA!" Sakura screamed, but Gaara didn't hear her, he was already gone.
Sakura got to her knees, and rubbed her eyes, with her forearm, "Argh, what the hell did he do to me?"
Sakura gave her eyes, one last rub, and then pulled back her arm. She, slowly, began to open her eyes.
No! No! Sakura thought in horror as she stared into the endless darkness that surrounded her, I'm blind!
