Chapter 1-

Sakura's POV

Well, today is just like any other day. Work, eat, talk, more work, go home, sleep. Next day, the same routine all over again! *sigh* I wonder if will I forever live like this? Oh yeah, by the way, I'm Haruno Sakura, just to let you guys know. Well, better start working before Tsunade fires me... *shudders*

"Sakura, have you finish with the book?", one of my friends, Ino, Yamanaka Ino asked. "Nope, erm, but I would finish the book later this afternoon," Looking through the file of papers, I took the one that I recently finished and continued writing it. "Once you finish, could you please give it to either me or Ino-chan, okay Sakura-san?" My most timid friend, Hyuuga Hinata asked. "Hinata! You don't have to call my name with -san behind you know? And why do you call Ino-Pig, Ino-chan?" I asked with my eyes teary. Hinata got almost scared and quickly said," I'm so sorry, Sakura-s..-chan!"

"Haha, thank you, Hinata-chan," I said. Hinata almost immediately blushed. Oh, how cute. I wish I was like her..

*Ring* *Ring*

"Hello, Nin Publishing Industry, Haruno Sakura here, how may I be of service to you?"
"Sakura-chan, this is Shizune, I need you to do me a favor," I wonder what.. Hmm...
"Okay... Whats the favor Shizune-san?"
"Well, you see Sakura, there's a delivery for the company and no one is available to get the delivery, so could you get it for me? Please?" Oh, I thought it was something more serious. Haha, silly me. Of course I get all the minor work sometimes.

"Sure thing, what time do I have to get the delivery?"

"5.30 p.m. and thank you, Sakura!" I hang up the phone and went to the lift, since its already 5.25 p.m.

"Evening, Miss Sakura," Nara Shikamaru, the lazy receptionist greet me, I greet him back then turn my attention to the delivery guy. "Are you the one who is suppose to get the delivery?" The delivery guy asked me lazily. "Yea, so what am I suppose to get from you anyway?" Trying to peek inside the box, "Some furnitures from foreign country," delivery guy answered me with a blank face. How can he talk with a blank face? I mean come on, I can't even do that!

"Are you gonna take the delivery or are you gonna just stare at me?" The red-headed delivery dude beside Shikamaru stated instead of asking me. He seems annoyed though, I wonder why... "Oh, by the way thanks... Emo dude!," I chuckled while getting the delivery. Damn! This delivery is heavy! Hope I can carry it all the way to Shizune's office.

But not even 3 steps later, I was out of breath! "*pant* Oh *pant* man, *pant* what's in this box?" The emo dude chuckled lightly under his breath. "Hey! That's mean you know!" I yelled, face-red while showing my fist towards him.

He immediately stopped but still had a smirk plastered on his face. Shikamaru snickered. "So, do you need help or what?" The emo dude asked me. "Wha...?" I asked confused out of his sudden kindness. He said," So, you don't then. Nevermind," and walked away but before he did, I immediately shouted," W-wait! Umm, yes! Please..." I whispered at the end. I was blushing! Why am I blushing? Then, I felt something being carried out of my hand and I looked up, face-to-face with the emo dude and thought," Wow...,"

He raised a perfect eyebrow and walked away while carrying the box. He stopped and said," Are you following me?" I immediately got back up my feet and started walking fast towards him. We walked together. After a while, I broke the silence by saying," By the way, I'm Sakura, Haruno Sakura. Umm, thanks for your help...?"

"Gaara. Just Gaara," He said.

"Oh, okay.. Gaara." What a nice name...
