Chapter One

Sakura smiled as Gaara kissed her and put his hand on her swelling belly. She was four months pregnant, and Gaara spent as much of his free time with her as he could. "Soon." Sakura said and held his hand. Gaara smiled, "Soon."

Five months later Sakura gave birth to a girl, Gaara was very proud of himself, he wanted a daughter. Sakura named the child Aniki, Aniki had jade eyes, like her father, and she looked almost exactly like her mother, despite being only two minutes old. Aniki's eyes were closed shut, Gaara took the baby from Sakura, he was smiling. Sakura's breathing returned to normal and she smiled when she saw Gaara's face.

"She's beautiful." He said, Sakura nodded, "Just like you." Sakura giggled, and started to fall asleep.

Nine years later Aniki was sent to the Academy of Suna, after being taught by her parents, and instantly felt nervous. Her cousin, Siteim, was also being sent here and so they sat next to each other, Siteim was the daughter of Temari and Shikamaru. Aniki was a month older so she could tease Siteim about it.

"Aniki! Aniki!" Siteim called her name, "Lets sit over there!"

"Okay." Aniki said, they went over to a desk, no one else was there when they sat down. Soon a small shy boy went up to them and asked if he could sit with them. Aniki nodded and patted the seat next to her, "Hi, my names Aniki, what's yours?" Aniki asked. The boy blushed nervously,

"It's Cyrus." He said finally, Aniki smiled and her cousin appeared by Aniki's shoulder.

"Hi Cyrus, my names Siteim!" She said energetically, Aniki laughed at her cousins enthusiasm, she was nothing like her parents. Cyrus smiled and sat down. Then the Chuunin that would be teaching them came through the door along with the Kasekage.

"Hi mom, hi dad!" Aniki shouted, Sakura looked up and smiled at her child, Gaara smiled but didn't look at her. The rest of the class, however, turned around and stared at Aniki in disbelief. Sakura finally managed to get the class' attention and said,

"I will be teaching you here, but remember, I also have to teach those who wish to become medical ninja and working at the hospital so don't give any crap! You will be the ones who will be punished!" Gaara smiled at this, he was laughing on the inside. Sakura continued, "If there are any of you that have interest in becoming a medical ninja, please raise your hands and when I point to you you will give me your name. Any entries?" Aniki immediately shot up her hand, Sakura nodded at her and wrote down Aniki's name. Also Cyrus rose his hand, slowly. Sakura looked at him and smiled, he was at the same table as Aniki, which meant he was already her friend.

"Yes? you there, what's your name?" Cyrus blushed nervously, he couldn't answer. Cyrus looked to Aniki for help, Aniki smiled at him.

"His name is Cyrus." Aniki said, Cyrus breathed out in relief. Sakura smiled and wrote it down. There were no more entries so Sakura continued.

"Now the Kasekage has a few words to say." Gaara stepped up front, and looked over them all, three cringed, four stared back, and the rest were staring off into space, Aniki, however, waved at him smiling, Gaara smiled back, Aniki squealed. Once again some of the class turned to stared at her, Gaara cleared his throat and was now the center of attention.

"As you know from Sakura you will be punished for any type of fooling around, however, if you attack or insult another classmate to make him or her attack you, you will be thrown out of the Academy and never allowed back." Gaara said, everyone was listening intently now, "That is all." Gaara left the room, Sakura smiled at the class.

'He got them quiet pretty quick'

'What do you expect? He is our sweetheart after all'

Sakura smiled to herself and said, "The two who have enlisted for medical ninja training please come up and get one of these books." Sakura placed two books for the basics of medical ninjutsu on the desk. Aniki got up and proudly grabbed one of the books, she was about to head back when she saw Cyrus hadn't moved from his seat. Sakura smiled and whispered something in Aniki's ear. Aniki blushed and picked up the second book, then gave it to Cyrus.

"Here you go." Aniki said with a smile, Cyrus smiled and accepted the book,

"Thanks." He said quietly, Aniki smiled and sat back down.

'He's kinda cute.' She thought and giggled. Sakura continued talking about the main reason there are ninja, Aniki had already heard and memorized it, so she kept thinking about her new friend. Soon the class came to a end and Sakura waited for the class to leave, when they did she sighed and was about to leave when she saw her daughter and her friend talking.

"Come on you two, I'm going to be late!" Aniki blushed and Cyrus got even more nervous.

"Okay mom, come on Cyrus lets go!" Aniki said, Cyrus nodded, got up, and left, Aniki was walking behind him and was about to exit when Sakura held her back.

"Do you like him?" Sakura asked, Aniki blushed and nodded. Sakura smiled and let her go. Aniki rushed to catch up with Cyrus and found him waiting outside,

"Sorry about that, my mom held me back a bit." She said, Cyrus smiled and waited for Aniki to catch her breath. When she did he asked,

"Where do you want to go?" Aniki smiled grabbed his hand and ran to the park, Cyrus blushing the entire time. The villagers looked at Aniki dragging Cyrus with interest. The park was actually an oasis, but it was the only place with trees and water. Aniki smiled and watched the running water while Cyrus played with the grass in between his feet nervously. Aniki smiled and sat down on the grass with Cyrus and hugged him. This made Cyrus blush a dark scarlet, he looked at Aniki and smiled, his blush let up a bit.

Soon it started to get dark and they had to go home, "Want me to walk you home Cyrus?" he smiled, he was starting to become less nervous now.

"No I'm fine, thanks though." Aniki smiled and went up closer to him, he started to get nervous now, then Aniki kissed his cheek.

"Okay then, take care." Aniki blushed and walked home, leaving Cyrus frozen in place. He put his hand up to where Aniki had kissed him, smiled and walked to his home. Aniki entered the house, "I'm home!" she shouted. Sakura looked out of the kitchen and smiled.

"Aniki, can you come here for a minute?" Aniki smiled and ran to her mother as she went back into the kitchen. Aniki came into the kitchen and gave her mother a hug, Sakura smiled and said, "Where did you go today with that boy Cyrus?" Aniki blushed and answered,

"We went to the park and stayed there all day and talked." Aniki blushed again, Sakura rose her suspicions.

"Did you kiss him?" Sakura asked.

"MOM!" Aniki blushed, Sakura laughed.

"It's okay, me and your father kissed on our first date, isn't that right sweetie?" Gaara had just entered the kitchen.

"Hn." Was all he said. Sakura giggled and whispered something in Gaara's ear. Gaara showed no emotion but whispered something back and went upstairs.

"Really? You kissed on your first date?" Aniki asked, she was interested, Sakura smiled and nodded.

"It really is okay for you to kiss someone on the first date but I would rather know who it is when you do." She said, "It's your decision after that. So did you?" Aniki blushed and nodded. "Where?"

"On his cheek when we were about to go back home." Aniki answered, Sakura gave Aniki a hug and returned to cooking. Aniki took this as a dismissal and went up to her room to change.

Dinner was delicious, but silent. Finally, "How was your day Aniki?" Sakura asked.

"It was okay." Sakura smiled, she wouldn't take it personally, Aniki already heard what Sakura said that day, "Cyrus is a really quiet boy." Aniki smiled.

"And you like it?" Sakura asked, Aniki nodded, Sakura smiled, "There was a time when I hated silence." Gaara choked on a bit of food as he tried not to laugh. They ignored Gaara and continued eating.

The next day Aniki was in another daydream, Sakura was explaining something, once again, she already heard and memorized. The she heard Sakura say, "The two who are wanting to become medical ninja, turn to page ten and start reading through to page fifteen, what you don't finish becomes homework." Aniki and Cyrus got out their books and started reading, Aniki was a much faster reader and could memorize when looking at something only once, no matter how brief, Cyrus however got three pages for homework and didn't quite understand it so Aniki helped him out.

Class was dismissed and Aniki was still helping Cyrus when Sakura interrupted them, " Come on you two, I'm going to be late!"

"Okay mom, sorry!" Aniki said, "Come on Cyrus, we can finish this later." When Cyrus finished packing his books, Aniki grabbed Cyrus's hand and hurried out of the room. Sakura smiled at them and locked the door behind her.

"Slow down Aniki! I can barely breath!" Cyrus said, Aniki blushed and stopped.

"Sorry Cyrus," Cyrus had trouble catching his breath for awhile and Aniki began to think he was hyperventilating, so she went closer to him and kissed him, mouth open, giving him her air. Cyrus blushed a deep scarlet, his breathing finally returned to normal and Aniki parted from him, blushing as hard as Cyrus.

"Um... Thanks.." Cyrus managed to get out, Aniki blushed and took his hand and they walked to the park. Aniki's face finally returned to it normal color while Cyrus's was still red, "Ano..Aniki?" Cyrus said nervously.

"Yes what is it Cyrus?" Aniki turned around blushing, Cyrus's face went redder.

"When you...kissed me... did you mean it as an actual kiss or just to help me breath?" He asked, Aniki smiled.

"Both." She said and kissed his cheek again. Cyrus blushed and smiled.

"Oh, okay." He smiled and his blush lifted a little more, and they continued walking. They sat by the water and watched it run by, Aniki moved closer to Cyrus and rested her head on his shoulder. Cyrus was frozen by this action and blushed. Aniki felt him tense with surprise and took advantage of this and snuggled into his shoulder, Cyrus's blush reached maximum and now got risky and put his arm around her. Aniki smiled and closed her eyes. Cyrus noticed the sun was getting lower, it was about time to be heading home. He looked next to him and noticed Aniki fell asleep, he tried to shake her awake, she didn't. Cyrus sighed and picked her up, there was only one way to be able to keep them both out of trouble. He knocked on Aniki's house door, Gaara answered and looked down at Aniki and Cyrus.

"Um. Here, I brought her back here, she wouldn't wake up so I had to carry her." He explained, Gaara nodded, he understood, he had to do the same thing with Sakura whenever she fell asleep. "Tell her what I did for her please, I get nervous when around girls like her." He blushed. Gaara nodded and closed the door. Cyrus sighed in relief and headed home. Gaara placed his daughter on the sofa and went into the kitchen to explain what happened.

"Our little Aniki is growing up then." Sakura said, Gaara nodded, he was smiling, "To think, she has already gotten a boy to love her in two days."

"You loved me in two days," Gaara said, "and if I recall correctly, you hated me at first. What did you call me? Ah yes, you said I was an ass wipe." Gaara had whispered this last part in Sakura's ear, just in case Aniki was awake and listening to them. Sakura turned to face Gaara and kissed him.

Aniki awoke, refreshed and energized, ready for the next day. She blushed when she remembered she had kissed him then when he asked the question and she said both. The students were off of School today so Aniki waited to see if Cyrus came over. He did. Aniki squealed when Cyrus knocked on the door and answered it. Cyrus stood at the doorstep and smiled when he saw her.

"Mom I'm going out for a while!" Aniki shouted.

"Okay dear, be back before dark!" Sakura shouted back, Aniki blushed and closed the door behind her and hugged Cyrus. Cyrus blushed and they walked to the park, Aniki was staring off into space, Cyrus was looking at his feet. Aniki moved closer and held Cyrus's hand, Cyrus blushed and saw her staring off into space.

"What are you thinking about Aniki?" He asked, Aniki smiled.

"Wouldn't it be great to live in a forest?" She answered, "So many different animals and insects at night. Green grass, tall trees. To just be in a forest, I want to do that someday." Aniki said dreamily. Cyrus smiled.

"Is that why you became a ninja? To be able to leave the village and see things you haven't seen before?" Cyrus asked, she shook her head.

"No, I wanted to become a ninja for two reasons, what you said and because I want to protect the people closest to me." Aniki said.

"Yeah, me too." Aniki blushed and turned toward Cyrus and looked at him, he looked back, "What? Do you want som-" Cyrus froze, Aniki had kissed him, forcing him to stop. Aniki's eyes were closed and Cyrus soon closed his. They finally parted and both Cyrus and Aniki were blushing. Aniki started walking again, holding Cyrus's hand. Cyrus was still stunned by her actions by the time they arrived at the park.

Aniki was blushing as they sat by the water again. They both had gotten hungry so they got some food at a nearby shop, when they finished eating Aniki sat on a bench, for some reason she was out of breath. Cyrus sat next to her and held her, Aniki smiled and closed her eyes, laying her head on his shoulder. Cyrus smiled and blushed, no girl has ever acted this way with him, he liked it. He decided to take a risk and say,

"Aniki." She snuggled into his shoulder, he blushed, "I-I think you are beautiful." Cyrus finished, blushing at maximum again. Aniki looked at him smiling, eyes lit up with happiness. Without warning, although Cyrus expected it, she kissed him. One minute passed before their lips parted, Aniki smiled and got the closest she could to Cyrus. Cyrus noticed someone watching them and looked up, it was Aniki's cousin, Siteim. Cyrus told Aniki to look up, Aniki looked to see her cousin, mouth hitting the ground in shock. Aniki smiled and greeted her cousin, she was even more shocked that Aniki would be okay with letting one of her family members see her kiss someone for so long.

Siteim thought of something evil and said, "I'm telling your mom." Aniki looked up and shrugged, she didn't care if she told the entire village, neither did Cyrus, as shy as he was. Siteim's mouth dropped as she realized this, and stomped away, fuming. Aniki stuck out her tongue at Siteim cutely and Cyrus had an urge to kiss her, luckily Aniki turned back to Cyrus and kissed him.
