I was walking through the streets. I was alone except for the voice inside my head. She was nice and helped me. I have no family. I have no clue who they were. People looked at with me sympathy. I was seventeen. It was the marrying age but I didn't want to get married unless I loved the man I was going to marry. People in the town helped me out. I had clothes and food but I would never ask for a home. I was already getting more then I deserved from them. In return I healed their sick. I had a gift. I could heal any sickness and I could read minds.
I was heading to the park when soldiers stopped me. "Are you Sakura?" One of them asked.
"Yes." I answered. "What can I do for you?"
"The prince is sick and the healers can not heal him. You must come with us."
I nodded knowing I couldn't let the prince die. I didn't know which one was sick but I followed them. I only knew the name of one of the prince's and that was Kankuro. He had a brother and a sister. The sister's name was Temari. It was said the youngest would be the ruler but no one knew who he was.
When we got to the castle I couldn't help but stare. I followed them inside. They lead me to a bedroom. It was dark except for a candle next to the bed. I walked over to the bed. I pulled the blanket done so I could see their face. He had red hair and the kanji for love on his forehead. He had black circles around his eyes. His face was pale and covered in sweat. I pulled the blanket down to their waist and removed his shirt. I put my hands on his chest and started to heal him.
The room glowed green as I removed the poison from his system. When I was finished I grabbed the bowl of water and cloth and wiped the sweat from his face. When I looked around I saw that the guards had left. I was glad that they trusted me. When I turned back around I saw jade eyes staring at me. He didn't say anything he just stared. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. I couldn't read his expressions and I wouldn't read his mind. I only did that when needed.
Gaara's POV
When I woke up my vision was blurry. When it cleared I saw pink hair. I didn't know anyone with pink hair. When the person turned around I couldn't help but stare. She was beautiful. Her skin was flawless. She has beautiful emerald eyes.
"What are you doing here?" It sounded colder then intended but it didn't seem to effect her.
"I was brought here to heal you."
I didn't say thank-you. I was not that type of person. "What's your name?"
"Sakura." The name fit her.I looked at her clothes. They were a torn pair of pants and a torn shirt.
Shukaku tried to get out. He was clawing at his cage. He wanted the girl. I don't know why though. I gripped my head trying to force him to stop. I felt her put her hands over mine. She was trying to help me. I calmed just by her touch.
No one had been able to calm him before. She ran her fingers through my hair and I leaned into her touch. I heard giggling and when I looked at the door it was opened. Temari was standing in the doorway. I glared at her. Sakura stopped and looked at the door. She stood up and bowed to Temari. They started talking but I wasn't paying attention to their conversation. I was staring at Sakura. I breathed in her scent. She smelled like vanilla with a hint of cherry. Shukaku kept trying to get out but I wouldn't let him. I had to protect the girl. I don't know why. I just had a feeling that she was something that I was missing. They left the room so Sakura could meet our father and mother.
"Why were you trying to attack her?"
"She is suppose to be your mate"
"Mate?"
"Every jinchuuriki has one."
"What happens if we don't get our mate."
"You die."
Gaara eyes widened. If he didn't mate with the girl he would die. He fell asleep thinking of ways to get her.
With Sakura and Temari- Sakura's POV
We were walking to the thrown room to meet Temari's and Gaara's parents. The guards opened the doors and we walked in. On the thrown were her parents. Her mom had light brown hair and kind brown eyes. Her father had red hair. His hair was a few shades darker then Gaara's. His eyes were green.
"This is the woman that has healed my son?" Her mother asked.
"Yes mother." Temari answered.
"Thank you. A room has been prepared for you. You can stay as long as you like."
Temari and I bowed then we left the room.
"Sakura you should stay with us."
"I couldn't."
"You saved my little brothers life. It's the least we can do."
"Stay."
"Why?"
"You will find out. Just stay."
"Fine."
"Fine. I'll stay for now Temari."
Temari grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hall to a room. When she opened the door I could see a bedroom. The floor was a sandy color and the walls had paintings of fish and other sea life on it. The bed had a light blue canopy and it covered the bed so I couldn't see the rest. They was a dresser that was the same sandy color as the floor. I saw two doors and knew one must be a bathroom and I guessed the other was a closet.
"Get some rest. We can go buy you some new clothes tomorrow." I nodded and Temari left. I decided to clean up the best I could before I went to bed. I went into the bathroom and stood their in shocked. The bathroom was huge. The sink was a dark blue marble and the floor was a couple shades darker. The bath was also a dark blue and could easily fit six people. There was a walk-in shower. I went over to the mirror and looked at my reflection. My hair was getting longer. It was now past my shoulders. I went over to the bath and turned the water on. Once I got it to the right temperature I let the tub fill while I got undressed.
When the water was at the right height I got in. The water soothed my sore muscles. I found some shampoo. I opened the bottle and breathed in it's vanilla scent. It had been awhile since I used actual shampoo. I lathered it in my hair. I then rinsed it out and looked around for some soap. I found a bar and scrubbed all the dirt and grim from my skin. Once I washed the soap off I got out of the tub and trained the water. I dried myself off and put my clothes back on.
I went back into the bedroom and got in the bed. The bed was big. I laid in the middle and couldn't touch the edges no matter how much I stretched. I got under the covers and fell asleep.
Yeah Gaara is nicer then he is but that is how he acts around Sakura. She calms him. Around other people he will be somewhat of his normal self. R&R. I wanna give a special thanks to kallou who previewed my story and helped me with a title and summary.
