Sakura ran through the forest wondering how she got into this situation. She was running away from the Akasuki. It seem they noticed her. As she ran and ran,it looked like she was at a dead end. No escape. Just when the Akatsuki were about to take her, a white light glowed and she disappeared.
"Where did she go, un?" a blond-haired Akatsuki member asked.
"Tobi don't know! But she was pretty!" The Akatsuki sweatdropped.
With Sakura
She didn't know where she was for a second, but when her eyesight became clear, she saw she was in her old house where she and her family lived.
Huh? Where's the Akatsuki? Wasn't I being chased?
You're right...
Wait... Inner? Is that you?
Cha! That's right! It's been awhile hasn't it outer?
Yeah! I haven't talked to you since Sasuke left.
Yeah. We gotta figure out what we're doing here.
You're right.
Sakura looked down. She noticed she wasn't 18 anymore... she was 6 years old!
What the hell happened to my body!
You're right! What happened?
"Sakura sweetie! Time for breakfast!" She heard her mom yell.
"Comin'!" Sakura walked down.
I gotta find out what happned.
She and her family ate breakfast.
"I'm going down to a store, would you like to come?" Sakura's mom asked her. She nodded. She needed to see what had happeened. Sakura got changed. She was wearing a light pink top with short shorts, but not too short. She and her mother walked down the Konoha streets. Sakura scanned the streets in search of something. Her eyes became wide when her eyes landed on a certain raven haired boy. It was none other than Itachi Uchiha!
What is he doing here?
I know! what we're in our 6 year old body right? Then that must mean Itachi didn't kill his clan yet! We went back to the past!
Really? That explains EVERYTHING! But wait. How did we get here?
I don't know.
Her mother snapped her out of her thought. "Sweetie, would you like some apples?"
"Sure mom." Sakura said. "Mom?"
"Yes hun?"
"Can I go over there I wanna see something!" I asked smiling. "Don't worry I'll be fine!"
"Um ok sweetie but don't get lost okay?"
"Hai!" Sakura walkedover to where Itachi was. She poked him. He truned around to see pink.
'Wait pink?' he thought.
"Are you Itachi Uchiha?" Sakura asked innocently. She fought back a glare.
"Hn." He answered.
Ugh! Are all Uchiha's like that, going "hn" "hn" "hn"! It pisses me off!
I know right!
Itachi watched the pink haired girl glare at him. He was quite amused.
"Hn." she said back. And before Itachi could blink she was gone. He looked around and noticed that she was with her mom in another store.
"Interesting." He mumbled. He smirked.
Sakura and her mom walked home. She saw her dad sitting on the couch.
"I'll be going on a three day mission mission." He said.
"Where?" I asked curious.
"Suna." He replied.
Suna? Isn't that where Gaara is?
Yeah!
Ooooh! Let's go I always wanted to help him!
Good idea.
"Hey dad?'
"Yes Sakura?"
"Can I come? Pleeeeeeeeeeaseeeeee."
"I don't know..."
"Pretty pleeease with a cherry on top." Her father sighed in defeat.
"Alright."
"Yaaaaaaaaaaay!"
"Go start packing ok?"
"Ok!" Sakura ran up to her room.
I really don't need clothes because I can poof them up. So what should I get... Oooh let's get the gift Gaara gave me before.
Good Idea.
Sakura walked downstairs with a reeeallly small bag.
"Is that all you need Sakura? That's awfully small."
"Yep! I'm sure!"
"Alright then. Let's go."
The traveled to Suna, and Sakura was very excited. It took about 2-3 days to get there. They walked inside.
"Sakura, why don't you play at the park?"
"Ok!" She said and disappeared. She saw a glimpse of red and knew it was Gaara. She approached him quietly.
"Hi!" She said. Gaara turned around to a girl with pink hair.
Gaara's POV
Why is she talking to me? Yet alone approach me.
"Hi my name's Sakura, can I play with you?" she asked me. I was taken back by surprised that she wanted to play with me. She reached her hand out and I was hesitating whether I should or shouldn't shake her hand.
"It's ok I won't hurt you!" She said. Though I was still hesitant I grabbed her arm, it was warm. I thought i was going to get hit, but I wasn't.
"See I told you! So can I play with you?" She asked again.
"S-Sure." I replied. She smiled whole-heartedly at me. and sat down beside me.
"By the way what your name?" she asked me.
"I-It's Sabuku no Gaara."
"Haruno Sakura! Your new friend!" She grinned.
"How come you're not playing with the others Gaara-kun?"
It's because they don't want me to. They think I'm a monster..." I said whispering the last part. She gasped.
I knew it. She'll hate me!
"I'm going to beat them up!" She yelled. I was shocked. I thought she was going to run, but she still stayed with me and didn't leave or even have hatred in her eyes.
She's different.
Normal POV
"Gaara, can Imeet your family?" Sakura asked.
"Ummm.. sure." he answered. They both walked to Gaara's house. Gaara knocked on the door feeling nervous. A blond girl opened the door, and Sakura knew it was Temari.
"Gaara! Who's this?"
"Hi! I'mSakura! Gaara's new friend!" Sakura said proudly. OnceTemari heard that she yelled:
"Kankuro! Get down here! Now!" They heard footsteps and groans.
"What?" He yelled/asked.
"Gaara's got a friend! She's right there!"Temari said and pointed at Sakura.
"Seriously! Hi! Nice to meet you! Thank you for being Gaara's friend!" Kakuro said. Sakura blushed.
"It's nothing really. I just wanted to be his friend." She said. "Well I should introduce myself. I'm Haruno Sakura,nice to meet you! I'm here with my dad, that's on a mission, and I will stay here for three days."
"Hi! I'm Gaara's older sister, Sabuku no Temari and this is my idiotic brother, Kankuro"
"I'm not an idiot!" Kankuro yelled. Sakura giggled.
"You're siblings are funny Gaara!" Sakura said. Gaara smiled.
My first friend.
Those words repeated to his head again and again.
"Who's this?" a man with yellow (blond) hair asked.
"Ah.. this is my new friend." Gaara answered and smiled. Yashamaru was shocked.
"Y-You're his friend?"
Isn't this the guy who tried to kill Gaara?
Yeah! That's him alright! We got to stop him.
Yeah we should, I'll keep caution.
"Hn." Sakura said and glared at him. No one noticed, but Yashamaru. He flinched.
"I gotta go home Gaara! See you later!" Sakura said and hugged him. Gaara stiffened. He thought his sand was going to harm her, but it never came. He hesitated, but hugged her back. Sakura waved and walked away"
"Bye!" Sakura walked home and slept.
She woke up the next morning and yawned. She felt like visiting Gaara today. She walked to their house and knocked the door. Yashamaru was the one to open the fought back a glare since she was too tired.
"I'm here to visit Gaara." Sakura said. "Can I come in?"
"...Sure..." He walked inside the house. She looked around for Gaara and saw him.
"Panda-chan!" Sakura yelled. Gaara turned around to see Sakura.
"Panda..-chan?"
"Yep! I thought I should call you that since you remind me of a panda. Can I call you that?"
"Ok." Gaara answered. Sakura smiled.
Her smile is so pretty.
"Gaara can we gooutside."
"Sure." They both walked outside.
"Gaara, remember when I said I'm here because my dad has a mission?"
"Yeah I remember."
"Well I'm leaving tomorrow, so I want to make more memories with you..."Sakura said a little shy. "Don't worry, I will still probably see you, just promiseme that you will become a ninja in the future?"
"Ok.." Gaara said kind of sad.
"Don't be sad let's go down to the stores!" Gaara nodded. They walked down the town. People were whispering and Sakura gave them a glare. Then Sakura stopped.
"Saku-chan.." He asked worried. "What's wro-" He was interrupted.
"Would you all stop whispering! God! If you have something to say, then say it! But that would be a bad idea!" Sakura yelled. "Hmph! Let's go Gaara-kun!" She grabbed Gaara's hand. She walked off. But the she stopped.
"Saku-chan?" Gaara asked. He saw her looking at a necklace.
"D-Do you want that?" Gaara asked pointing at the necklace. Sakura nodded.
"Then I'll buy it for you."
"No! You don't have to!"
"Think of it as a goodbye gift,"He said sadly. Sakura blushed.
"Thank you.." she said shyly. They walked inside the store and Gaara had bought the necklace for her. It was a vial necklace and Gaara filled it with his sand. He put it around Sakura's neck. Then Sakura sensed someone's chakra following them. The ninja threw a kunai at Gaara, but Sakura caught it in time.
"Don't hurt him!" She yelled angrily. She threw the kunai back at the ninja. She hit her target. Then she noticed someone lunging a kunai at Gaara. Sakura ran as fast as she can and the kunai wnet through Sakura's stomach. As Gaara watched the scene, his eyes widened.
"Sakura!" He yelled.
"It's ok Gaara, I won't die just of this little wound. Come on! Run!" She yelled as she grabbed his hand and ran as fast as she could. She stopped when the ninjas were kind of far, so she could heal herself. Two minutes after, ninjas showed up. Sakura didn't fully heal herself, but it was enough to fight. She looked at Gaara and noticed his eyes were turning yellow.
They hurt her... They will pay!
I will help you gain power, do you want that?
I do, I won't forgive those who hurt her.
"Gaara! Don't transform! It's ok, I'm fine please come back to me!" Sakura yelled. Gaara's eyes turned back to green/jade.
"DIE monster!" one of the ninja yelled. Sakura was faster and she kicked the guy in the stomach.
"Chet. Weak." Sakura said. "Come on. Fight!" All the ninja came running after her. Sakura punched the ground and it shattered into pieces, hitting all the attackers. Then a man came out, it was none other than Yashamaru.
"I knew you would come, ne Yashamaru?" Sakura smirked. "Seems like you think Gaara killed you sister hmm?" She whispered but loud enough for only Yashamaru to hear.
"How did-"
"I have my sources. Haha~ I'm just kidding. I know because I do." Sakura said. "But did you know he didn't kill his mother?"
"Yes he did!"
"Yeah, yeah. Believe in the crap the Kazekage said. He lies a lot! Did you kow Gaara's mom wanted him? Did you know that she loved him and wanted hi to have a happy life? Haha,I don't think so." Sakura said.
"But- But the Kazekage said-"
"He's lying you idiot! Why don't anyone love Gaara like I do. Care for him seriously! Does it take a lot of convincing? Gosh!" Gaara had tears coming out of is eyes.
She cares for him?
Yashamaru feel to his knees.
"I'm sorry Gaara, I'm sorry." He cried.
Later on that day...
"Bye Gaara, I have to go back to Konoha. I promise I will meet you again, I am sure."
"And I promise you Sakura, I will become a strong ninja."
"Bye Gaara." Sakura said and walked to him. She kissed him on the cheek. Both of them blushed. "Bye!"
I promise we will meet again. Sakura thought.
I will become strong for you. Wait for me Sakura. Gaara thought.
