A Futile Fairy-Tale
Mario11445: Here we go, my first story! I'm so exited, whoever is reading this, I already consider you one of my closest and very dear friends. Oh, and just for the record, I'm a dude, not a pervert, and not gay, I just felt like writing about GaaxSaku, thats all. Through this story, Sakura will continue to hate Gaara's guts, but eventually... yeah thats as far as I'll go, its pointless to tell you what I'm thinking now 'cause then you wouldn't read the story. Reviews would be GREATLY appreciated, Thank you all! Oh yeah this is a six year time skip from them being 12, so now they're all 18 and Neji's team is 19, Kankuro is 19 and Temari is 20.
Part One, Chapter One
'Tsunade is going to pay for sending me here.' The konoichi thought as she crossed the desert.
'Aw, lighten up girl, its only for a little while.' (Inner Sakura)
'And you're never like this, when did you get so soft? I must be going insane.' Sakura has an 'inner self' to whom she speaks to inside her mind. When she didn't hear from her inner self, she sighed and continued walking. Naruto and Neji were also there, and Naruto, annoying as usual, kept talking about ramen.
"(Naruto in background) blah, blah, blah, ramen, blah, blah, blah" Neji looked over at Sakura, a complicated look on his face. Sakura though it said, 'save me!' and giggled. Naruto kept talking about ramen until...
"Shut up Naruto!" Neji suddenly snapped and yelled at Naruto. Naruto looked over at Neji, confused on why he burst out like that while Sakura continued to giggle uncontrollably.
"Neji, are you okay?" Naruto asked, still confused.
No answer. Neji resumed his impassive posture and started walking again (they had stopped when Neji burst out) and Sakura followed, having finally been able to stop giggling.
"Those two are confusing." Naruto said to himself.
'Just hurry up you moron.' (Kyuubi)
'What the hell?!? Who are you? Why are you inside of me?'
'You idiot, I'm the nine-tailed fox! I was sealed inside of you by that damned fourth hokage!'
'Oh, I forgot about you'
"Come on Naruto!" Sakura shouted, "We're going to leave you behind if you don't hurry!"
"Coming Sakura-chan!" He shouted back and ran to catch up with them.
ONE HOUR LATER
The Village Hidden in the Sand came into view as they walked across the harsh desert. 'This desert is almost as harsh as that ass, Gaara' Sakura thought. Naruto looked over at Sakura to see her expression of lust, he knew what she thought of Gaara, after all she was almost killed by the Shukaku and Gaara four years ago. During his training with Jiriaha-sama he worried if Sakura was going to be okay by herself. Jiriaha noticed this and told Naruto she would be fine with Tsunade looking after her, Naruto agreed and went on with their harsh training. The guards at the gate asked for their papers and Neji gave them to the two jonins.
"Very well, you may pass." One of the guards said. The trio started through the gate when, "Wait," Sakura froze in place, Neji stopped, not bothering to turn his head, and Naruto fell into the ground face-first anime style, "Don't try anything that would... endanger yourselves. We're watching you." He finished. Neji started walking toward the tower, Sakura relaxed and followed Neji, and Naruto, realizing he was being left behind again, ran to catch up yet again.
"Well that was... interesting." Sakura barely managed to get these words out. She received a nod from Neji, and Naruto was staring off into space. 'Whats with Naruto? He's usually the first to reply from anything.' She thought.
'Ah, who cares about Naruto. Cha! You were so scared!'
'No I wasn't!
'Yes you were! I'm you! Duh!'
No I wasn't!'
'Yes you were!
'No I wasn't!'
'Yes you were!'
'Enough! Stop! Shut up' Sakura screamed in her head. Her inner self fell silent. They approached the Kasekage's tower, and opened the door to feel a blast of cold air. Sakura sighed in relief as they escaped the heat outside. They got directions from the woman at the desk to the Kasekage's office and left. Neji was about to knock on the door when Naruto just grabbed the handle and pushed it open. Sakura and Neji backed away from Naruto to make sure the Kasekage wouldn't throw a fit at them, but at Naruto. Sakura gasped as she saw who was the Kasekage of Suna, 'Damnit its that ass wipe, Gaara. Who knew he could become the Kasekage?'
Gaara looked up with an intense glare at whoever was interrupting his work. Naruto grinned and shouted a greeting at Gaara. Gaara remained where he sat and looked over Naruto and Neji, he seemed to have calmed down a bit, then looked at Sakura. Sakura froze once again, 'don't scream, don't scream, damnit don't scream!' she almost did scream, but what came out was more like a low whimper. Loud enough for everyone to hear, Naruto looked over to see Sakura shaking, Neji ignored all of it and Gaara continued to stare unblinkingly at her.
Finally Gaara broke the silence, "You are here because of the Akutski?" He asked. Neji nodded in response. "Very well then, you will be staying here in Suna for awhile, have you found a place to stay?. The desert has many sandstorms so you cannot stay outside."
"No," Neji said, "we've only just arrived." Gaara nodded.
"I thought as much," He stopped, deep in thought, "You will stay with me and my siblings then." Sakura froze even more.
'Living in the same house as him? Oh no.'
"Okay! Now lets get down to buisne--" Naruto was stopped by a punch from the newly revitalized Sakura and sent into a wall. Neji looked at her and Gaara lifted an imaginary eyebrow.
"Baka! Its ten o'clock at night! How can we start investigating at night!"
Gaara had continued to stare at Sakura, 'damn, when did this female get so violent? When I looked at her she froze in place.'
'Its because of the fight we had with her, she ended up pinned to a tree! That was fun too.' (Shukaku)
'Yeah whatever, I'm just glad she stopped looking at me...'
'Really? Thats not what I think.'
'hn, then what is it?'
'You think she's hot. I can sense it. You are in l-o-v-e.'
'shut up. Make good use of yourself and go away.'
'Aha! You do like her body! I knew it!'
Gaara ended the silent conversation and turned his attention to Naruto and company. "I had just finished creating a work schedule for you three when you came in." Gaara glared at Naruto, then handed the paper to Neji. "You will work three hours of patrolling the border, and another three hours investigating the city for any signs of the Akutski." He turned his attention to Sakura, "You will be working in the hospital for four hours, and you will be teaching genin who wish to become medical ninja for another two hours. Got it?"
"Yes." They all said, Naruto was a bit late and said it a second after Neji and Sakura finished. Sakura gave Naruto a look that said, If you do ANYTHING stupid while on duty, I will punch the living hell out of you! Naruto cringed from he look he received while Gaara and Neji stared at Sakura.
Gaara got up from his chair and left the room, "Follow me." was all he said. He took them to his house, Naruto gasped at the size of the building, Neji ignored him, and Sakura's mouth fell to the floor. 'House? More like mansion!'
'Damn thats huge!'
'Yeah. I wonder what its like inside the.. uh.. house' she looked over at Gaara, and even though it was night, she felt she saw light shining on him.
'hehe, I saw that.'
'What?... no, no, no! it- its not what you think!!'
'Yes it is! You have the hots for Gaara!'
'No I don't! I'm ending this conversation now!' She woke up from her fantasy to see Gaara giving her an annoyed glare.
"What?" He said, harshly.
Sakura cringed "Nothing, nothing I'm sorry." Gaara stared at her intently, finally-
"Lets go."
