Teddy Bear
"Temari, what are you doing in this shack?" Sakura coughed as dust fill the air.
"Just looking at old photos." She started to open bixes.
"Is that Konkuro without make-up?" She pointed to a picture with a boy who looked like Gaara except with more noticeable brown hair.
"Yep, you can look through some of the stuff if you'd like." She pulled out more photos.
"Wow! Gaara was such a cute kid, anyway why are you doing this Temari," Sakura looked at her.
"I just missed some of these days when Gaara was kinder…" She sighed.
Sakura continued to rummage through the dusty boxes. She sneezed when the dust filled the room. Temari didn't want people to know they were there. The door remained close. Sakura felt something soft and when she pulled, it was a stuffed bear.
"Temari, who's bear is this?" She held up the stuffed animal.
"OH, that was Gaara's when he was growing up," She grabbed the bear and handed it back. "It was so cruel how those kids treated him, like…a monster. "This was his only friend it seemed." She said with a depressed look.
"Just like Naruto-kun…"Sakura thought.
"Temari, would you mind if I kept this for a bit?" She muttered.
"Sure thing, I doubt Gaara even remembers it." She sighed.
"He wouldn't forget something so special, would he?" She pondered.
The bear was worn-out and old. A button for the eye was missing, cotton was coming out the back, and the stitching was pulled out. Sakura wondered why he neglected it so bad if it was once like a best friend to him…

"Hey! Konkuro!" Sakura waved as she ran up to him. "Have you seen Gaara," She asked out of breathe.
"No, he's probably on top of the Kazekage's tower." He pointed." What are you doing anyway?"
"Nothing," She made a fake smile. "Arigato!"
"She's up to something," Konkuro said out loud.

Sakura was on the roof turning her head looking for Gaara.
"Why are you up here?" Gaara said in a hallow voice as he appeared behind Sakura.
"AAAAHHH!" She screamed because he had caught her off-guard. She cleared her throat. "Gaara, I got a surprise for you." She put the teddy bear in front of her face.
"…."
"Y-You don't like it?" She said with a depressed look.
"…"
Sakura sat it on the ground near Gaara. She did all that work for nothing. She sighed and was about to walk down the stairs.
"Sakura…" Gaara looked at her with a sympathetic look. She knew what it meant and walked quickly down stairs.

Gaara picked up his old friend.
"Sakura did this for me… I owe her a lot." Gaara looked into the streets and at the green eyed shinobi who walked out the buildings door.
