CHAPTER ONE

"Why are you leaving me Ra?" I thought we would be together forever?" cried a six-year-old girl. "I thought we were friends." "We are, Sakura. It's just my step-father wants different things for me…and that would be me moving away from you." Said the little seven-year-old boy. Sakura looked up at him and launched herself into arms. They talked about all the good times and he just held her their until nighttime came along.

He then walked her home and once they got there. She was about to walk into her house when she stopped. She saw his back to her and she shouted, "Gaara, c'mere." The little boy stopped and turned around, only to be brought into a brutal hug. He looked down at her and she smiled up at him. "I won't forget you, I love you remember." He nodded and she stood up on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek.

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back, also giving her a kiss on the cheek. She giggled and said, "I miss you Gaara. Promise me you'll come back for me?" while running to her house. Before she opened the door she heard him reply, "I will Sakura. I promise…don't you worry." She then went inside and closed the door taking a final look at her best friend, unknowing what was coming up in the upcoming years.

"Sakura…attack Sasuke with-" started Kakashi before Naruto chipped in and said, "Sexy no jutsu, sexy no jutsu." Just then he did the sexy no jutsu and started to hit on Kakashi, but he just punched Naruto in the face. Naruto changed back to his normal person and he said angrily, "YOU CANT HIT A GIRL…wait I mean you cant hit my sexy no jutsu."

Sakura just smirked and Sasuke looked annoyed. Kakashi looked over at Sakura and Sasuke. "Let's all take a break." He then sat down under a tree and started to read Icha Icha Paradise volume 8. Sasuke and Naruto just shrugged and sat down to enjoy the warm air while Sakura ran around the huge field they were practicing in.

After her fifth lap or so, Kakashi stood up. "Sakura." She stopped running and looked him in the eyes, "Yea?" "Stop running and take a break." She was about to protest but he gave her a stern look. She then walked over to the tree and sat down. "I'll be back team, just stay still." They just looked at their sensei as he jumped from treetop to treetop and back to Konoha.

Sakura then stood up. "Someone's coming." The two boys jumped up and got into a fighting stance. Sakura then sat down and fixed her hair. They gave her a weird look. "Um…Sakura…you going to help us fight that someone." She shook her head. "no I don't think so its only Ino." The boys glared at her and Naruto started to yell at her. " Ever since your 'boyfriend' left you have been such a…a bitch to everyone. You could of told us it was Ino in the first place."

Sakura just looked at him and said, "Whatever." Ino then stopped in front of the group. "Hey guys…hey Sasuke." She said in a sexy voice. He ignored her and sat back down. Naruto looked like he was ready to burst. As soon as Naruto was going to yell at Sakura again, a loud crash was heard at the far end of the clearing.

The four looked over and Sasuke and Sakura stood up. Just then Ino shouted to the other three, "It's the hidden sand village." They all got ready to fight, but nothing happened. They just kept hearing crashes so they all went around the clearing through the woods in case it was all a trap. When they made it to the scene a boy and a girl were throwing things at trees knocking them down, while two boys watched annoyed.

"Ino you take the girl, Sasuke you take the one playing around with the girl and Naruto take the one sitting down. I will take the guy with the black cloak on." Said Sakura giving orders to her teammates. They all nodded and went off into separate directions. "1…2…3…" She whispered. She waited a few seconds then shouted, "…NOW!" Just then they all attacked the Sand village ninjas.

The person who got out of the way was the black-cloaked person. Sakura watched his every move while her team attacked the others. She saw the guy look right at her and start to run the other way. She followed right behind them. She was tired of playing cat and mouse so she threw a kunai at him and just barely missed his head. "I wont miss a second time." Sakura shouted. Just then the guy turned around and Sakura skidded to a halt.

She looked at him weirdly. 'He seems familiar.' He was about to remove his hood when all of a sudden her team came back. She looked at Ino then back to the guy. Ino then spoke up, "They ran away after realizing that HE was gone." Sakura nodded her head. "Who are you? Show yourself." Just then his team showed up and they all looked at each other and disappeared into a whirlwind of sand."

"Dammit, dammit, dammit." Shouted Sakura. She then looked back to her group. "If you three haven't showed up yet, then I would be talking face-to-face with that guy or at least fighting him face-to-face." She then ran away. She was so mad at her group that she wanted to get farther away from them so she put a lot of her chakra into her feet, which in turn pushed her beyond her limit.

She made it to a spring that was in the middle of the forest and was about to get relaxed when she heard voices. (A/N I should tell you that the forest separates Konoha from everywhere else. U should know that thought or it wouldn't be called Hidden Leaf Village.) She quickly hid behind a huge boulder and waited for them to either disappear or to stop talking before she looked out.

She heard three people go off into the forest somewhere. She then peeked out over the boulder and saw a red haired wonder, drinking from the spring. 'Red hair…why is that so familiar?'

FLASHBACK

She sat alone on the picnic table bench. She had no friends so she usually sat alone. She was looking all around the playground and she saw a red haired boy. He glanced over at her and she looked down. Just then she heard someone say, "Hey girl, why were you looking at me?" She looked up and saw him in front of her. "Your hair color…its well…its kind of…" "Don't pick on my hair color…yours is pink." Said the little boy. "I'm Sakura by the way, what's your name, boy?" He looked at her and smiled, "Gaara."

Sakura and Gaara from that day forward were known to be seen together, talking or just plain hanging out.

ONE YEAR SOME DAYS LATER

"Why are you leaving me Ra?" I thought we would be together forever?" cried a six-year-old girl. "I thought we were friends." "We are, Sakura. It's just my step-father wants different things for me…and that would be me moving away from you." Said the little seven-year-old boy. Sakura looked up at him and launched herself into arms. They talked about all the good times and he just held her their until nighttime came along.

He then walked her home and once they got there. She was about to walk into her house when she stopped. She saw his back to her and she shouted, "Gaara, c'mere." The little boy stopped and turned around, only to be brought into a brutal hug. He looked down at her and she smiled up at him. "I won't forget you, I love you remember." He nodded and she stood up on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek.

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back, also giving her a kiss on the cheek. She giggled and said, "I miss you Gaara. Promise me you'll come back for me?" while running to her house. Before she opened the door she heard him reply, "I will Sakura. I promise…don't you worry."

END FLASHBACK

"Gaara." She whispered. He then looked right at her and she quickly ducked down. 'Shit, I hope he didn't see me.' Just then she looked back over the boulder to find him gone. She then stood up and turned around only to have a kunai faced right at her throat. She looked into his eyes. 'I don't see anything…it's like he's an empty shell.' She gulped and he moved it closer to her throat. When she swallowed, her throat touched the blade and cut her a little.

"Gaara…why are you doing this to me?" asked Sakura with pleading eyes. All she wanted to do was see him smile and hug her like it has been over a decade…well it has been over a decade, so yea…she would like a hug. He gave her no response. She then went to move around him so she could get a good look at him, but he blocked her way. He then looked her up and down. 'How the hell does she know my name? She doesn't even look familiar.' She then said, "Don't you remember me? We used to be childhood friends." He shook his head. "No." Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes and she screamed at him. "You promised me that you would come back for me…you lied!" She then blasted a whole bunch of chakra at him. His sand engulfed him and was brought a good ten feet from her.

She then looked up at him and said, "I will cry for you no longer. You promised me you would come back for me eleven years ago, but you never did and now you don't remember me…I thought we were closer than that…good-bye Gaara." She then sped away leaving Gaara alone by the spring. He closed his eyes to think for a few minutes, but he then remembered.

FLASHBACK

"I will Sakura. I promise…don't you worry."

END FLASHBACK

That was his voice, in a little him. His eyes shot open and he whispered, "Sakura." It was too late though she was already gone and with how fast she was going it would be hard for him to catch up even with his sand. Just then his teammates came back.

Sakura tripped over a root and didn't even bother to get up. She was emotionally and physically upset. She started to cry her eyes out and that was how Ino, Naruto and Sasuke found her. They tried to get information out of her but all she said was, "Gaara…doesn't…remember me." She then broke out crying again. They the brought her to the clearing they sat in before and she just sat their unmoving. But when Kakashi came back she started to run again. She then practiced her no jutsu's, until day break.
