Twilight: Hello everyone. I want to start this little story off with this: I DON'T OWN NARUTO! IF I DID, I WOULD BE COMPLETELY SHAMELESS WITH PAIRINGS!

Gaara/Sakura

Naruto/Hinata

TenTen/Lee

Kurenai/Asuma (obviously. In this fic he isn't dead so *blows raspberry*)

Haruno Sakura lay on the ground gasping for breath. She had just finished fighting/training with Hyuuga Neji . 'As long as my asthma doesn't act up, I'll be fine. I'll just lay here until my chakra flows normally again.' Sakura thought. Her eyes widened as she felt a bad attack coming on. 'Inner-chan I'm gonna separate our souls! I want you, no I need you to run to the village and find Naruto. He has my inhaler! I left it with him because I thought I didn't need it! Run NOW!' Sakura screamed mentally as she shoved the girl out of her body. Inner Sakura nodded and created a chakra dome over her container. "I'll be back soon." She promised. "Hurry." Sakura wheezed. She coughed up blood and Inner Sakura ran for the village as fast as she could. On her way in, she fell on her butt as she ran into someone. "Sorry. I need to get to the village. Sakura-chan's in trouble." Saki said. "Who are you?" The someone asked. Saki (I'm going to call her Saki since it's too complicated to type Inner Sakura all the time and she's essentially her own person outside of Sakura's body.) looked into jade green and realized Sabaku no Gaara was the one she slammed into.

"My name is Inner Sakura. Saki for short. I'm usually inside Sakura-chan but she shoved me out. She's having a horrible asthma attack. If I don't find Naruto and her inhaler, she'll die. Sakura and I were sparring with Neji and he used his Juken on us too many times. I don't expect you to help me so please move so I can find someone who will." Saki replied. She made to leave but Gaara's cold voice stopped her. "Where is she?" He asked. "Follow me Kazekage-sama. She's in a clearing a mile away. And please try to keep your sand to yourself. I don't have the chakra to fight with it. Most of it went into the dome I erected over Sakura-chan to protect her from any attackers. She's dying. I need to get her inhaler to her." With those words spoken, Saki took off in the direction she came from with Gaara following her.

They got to the clearing and Saki rushed to Sakura's side. "Sakura-chan I didn't make it to the village but I brought help. I'm sure he can get you back faster than I can bring Naruto." Saki said. "Gaara-kun." Sakura smiled. Blood stained her lips redder than their natural cherry red. "Why did you come alone. Why not bring someone with you in case something like this happened?" Gaara demanded. He didn't show it but he was worried sick about the pink-haired woman. "Stupidity. I didn't think Neji-san would abandon me when I started coughing up blood." Sakura replied.

Saki touched the dome and it disappeared back into her hand. "Time to come back Saki-chan." Sakura said softly. "Yeah I figured. I'm ready to come back. The outer world isn't very fun. I like it inside better." Saki replied. She touched Sakura's chest and the clearing turned pink for a minute or two then returned back to normal."We're ready to go." Sakura said. Gaara picked the woman up, making sure not to hurt her. "I'm not that fragile you know but I appreciate the care nonetheless." Sakura said softly. "Hn. You're severely injured. It would be foolish to handle you roughly." Gaara replied as if it were obvious.

Sakura smiled with blood-stained lips and teeth. "So you do have a sense of humor. Just a very twisted one at times." She laughed. Gaara snorted as he carried her toward Konoha proper for medical treatment.
