Ok so this idea just popped it my mind about an hour ago and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I really don't know where this is gonna go and I don't know how many people have had the same idea so don't expect too much out of it ok? All I do know is that it is gonna be a collection of one shots about Sakura getting her first kiss. Well, here goes nothing...again it's just my mind running wild!

I don't own Naruto

Sakura stood in the dim room just looking around. She had been standing there for all of 10 minutes watching all the masked people mingling and dancing around her and she frowned. She had told Ino that she didn't really want to go to the masquerade ball, but after much persuasion and the mention of a certain red head sand nin going Sakura agreed. She and Gaara had a kind of 'relationship' going on...kind of. They had been 'seeing' each other for about two months, but rarely got to see each other. She didn't even know he was suppose to be in Konoha that week?

To say that things got a little awkward when they were alone together would be an understatement. They liked each other a lot, but with her not knowing what to say to him and him just being a little- ok not just a little, emotionless, things just seemed...tense. They have been making it work so far, though they both felt like the other one was a little uncertain of their feelings. Sakura also feels that she wants more, her first kiss, but is afraid that Gaara isn't ready.

For the past couple weeks she has had these feelings, but she feels that Gaara wouldn't want to kiss her. She figured that she could just talk to him, but she was already having a hard time doing that on a day to day bases. She sighed and finally decided to walk around the ball room to see if she could find the refreshment table. She didn't recognise anyone because of the masks, but she kind of had an idea from the hair.

Not too far from where she had been standing, was Ino with, judging by the hair, Shikamaru on the dance floor. From what she could hear Naruto wasn't far away from her either. He had been with Hinata for around a year now. Right before he and Hinata got together Sakura had admitted to herself that she was attracted to and had feelings for the blond, but she never got a chance to tell him. Well, after a while she got over seeing him with Hinata and two months ago she got with Gaara.

Sakura made it to the table and waved at, who she could only guess was, Chouji then grabbed a cup of punch. As she stood there drinking her punch the music changed to a very slow song. All of the couples on the dance floor were hugged up and slow dancing. Sakura sighed, she had only come because she had thought that Gaara would be there, but evidently Ino had been mistaken when she said that she had seem him in Konoha earlier that day. Sakura had to get away from this place because seeing all those people together and the thought of all her friends moving on in their relationships while she struggled with hers was...well depressing.

She sat the half empty cup down and was just about to go home when she felt a strong soft hand grab her own. She turned around and looked at the hand then up to the masked face of the person that owned it. For a moment she was a tad bit upset. For some stranger to have the nerves to touch her without her consent...it was just a no no. Plus she was taken. Even if she and Gaara weren't in the most loving relationship she wouldn't ever do anything intentionally to ruin that. She spoke

" Ano...excuse me. May I help you with something?" The masked person nodded.

" Well, first I would like for you to let go of my hand please"

The person stood there for a moment without responding and that gave Sakura a moment to notice that she couldn't see the color of persons hair. Some how it was covered up. How?...I have no idea. Anyway, the man bowed low with one arm out toward the dance floor as a gesture for her to accompany him for a dance.

" Oh...no no...I couldn't possibly. I am seeing someone right now and if he was to come her and see me dancing with some stranger do you not think he would be upset?" The masked man shook his head no.

" Can you not speak?" She asked and he stood there with his head slightly tilted like a confused puppy. Sakura sighed and it was then that she realised that he had yet to release her hand.

" Fine...I will give you one dance, but if my boyfriend comes it's on you." He nodded and turned to lead her to the dance floor, not once taking his eyes off of her. The music was still slow when they started to dance. At first Sakura was very tense, uncomfortable, and uncertain, but reluctantly she relaxed. She was surprised, when she placed her head on his chest, how firm and muscular his body felt when she touched it through his closed. She had never been that close to Gaara so she had no idea how touching him would feel.

Sakura felt a little guilty that she was enjoying the feeling of some strange guys body against hers, but for some reason she couldn't force herself to move away. What did that mean? Was she second guessing her relationship with Gaara just because of one stupid dance?...Hell no, but it wouldn't hurt if she and Gaara shared moments like that. She wanted things to be intimate with Gaara and for them to be together for as long as they could.

She and the stranger had been dancing for much longer then she had noticed. The music had changed twice and yet they were still there. It felt really good to be embraced by someone and to be honest she didn't want it to end. She sighed and closed her eyes as a big hand gently caressed her back, but the thought of Gaara brought her out of her haze.

What would Gaara think if he saw her now? How would she explain to him that she was enjoying the warm embrace of some random guy as he caressed her lower back. Gods she would just die without Gaara, even thought technically Gaara wasn't really around her often in the first place. She really felt that he was the man for her. With that thought she pushed away from the man holding her, but didn't get too far. He grabbed her by the arm and once again tilted his head to the side in confusion.

" I'm sorry...I can't do this. I am with someone that I really love and I don't want to do something that could hurt him. Please...Please understand. Do you?" The strange man nodded

" I really enjoyed our dance...thank you."

With that she turned to walk away, but yet again she was stopped. She turned and gave the man a confused look, but didn't have a chance to say a word before she was pulled forward then felt soft worm moist lips against hers. She was in shock. This...this stranger was stilling her first kiss. Why?...Why? she asked herself. The kiss was sweet and gentle and for some reason she had enjoyed it, even through her shock, which made her feel ashamed.

When the man broke the kiss and pulled away from her he could see the questions in her eye through the mask she wore. She couldn't move...how could she? All she could think was ' my fist kiss is...gone. I'm...I'm so sorry Gaara.' The man leaned in toward her again and all she could do was shut her eyes tight, but his lips never met her. She opened her eyes wide when she felt his warm breath ghost across the shell of her ear.

" Sakura...I love you to..."

"...G...Gaara...?"

So how was it? That was my first time doing a short one shot and I would really like to know what you thought of it. I really hope that no one has done a bunch of drabbles like this, because that's what this is gonna be. I will have a collection of one shots with Sakura sharing her first kiss with different guys from Naruto in different situations. If you have a favorite guy that you would like to see appear please don't hesitate to let me know and I will try to fit him in ok? Well,...BYE!
