Chapter One
Gaara the Kazekage of Suna, wearing his red traveling robe over black pants with the Gourd and Temari carrying her big fan. Have just arrived to discuss arrangements and to see what Lady Tsunade Hokage wanted. They had left Kankuro in charge of matters.
As they enter the gates of Konoha. Sakura, the pink haired kunoichi, was standing there waiting for them. She was wearing her red vest over the black shirt and black shorts with tan knee pads.
Temari and Sakura hug and start asking about the trip. Sakura turns to Gaara and smiles at him and evens gives him a hug too. Which startles the gate guards. They start walking to the Suna Embassy. Which is just a 6 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms house set aside for them. Because Temari and Shikamaru have been dating. Gaara has finally just gave up to that fact. Of course it helped that He and Sakura have become friends. She has been back and forth on missions to Suna for at least a year. He has even became more warmer to Sakura and his family. Temari shudders to think what would happen to him if anything happens to Sakura.
FLASHBACK
Suna, Sakura stationed to teach for 2 months, then back to Konoha for 2 months. Plus she stayed at their home. She even was able to teach Temari how to cook better, now she is a decent cook, but secretly Sakura's cooking is just excellent. It used to be Gaara would cook breakfast, the lunch were eaten out. Then dinner was Temari's cooking, sometimes it just was safer to eat out...

"Hey Temari", said Sakura. "They have a Cooking class starting tomorrow for 3 days. Were you interested in joining. Who is going to be there as well, Ino well for one even TenTen."'
"I might as well." Temari said. (WHY...do they always pick on my cooking...)
(Please, thought Gaara)
"Are you attending this?" said Temari.
"Yes, I am. You never know too many recipes or how to field cook." said Sakura, "Oh, Gaara, the Hokage said your meeting is set for tomorrow around one o'clock. Temari, Shikamaru is still out on a mission, he is due back in three or four days."
"Is Naruto around." said Gaara.
"No, he is out on a mission as well." said Sakura.
As they neared the house, they recognize that the grounds around the house have been improved.
The house now had a wall around it with a iron gate. Inside the walkway was paved stone, on either sides of the walkway was sand. Like a small part of Suna.
Both Gaara, and Temari were stunned.
"How." said Gaara.
"When" said Temari.
"Well, Naruto and I thought it would be nice, and since we are allies it was approved by Lady Tsunade. said Sakura. " As to how, Naruto used carts that had bags full of sand. Pulled by shadow clones. Then he had them spread them. When he did that, I had the wall put up, and the walkway done."
Gaara went over and gave Sakura a hug. He was smiling over this beautiful gesture of friendship. Temari hugged her after Gaara let go.
"Thank You." said Gaara.
"Thank You." said Temari. "Are there anymore changes."
"No" said Sakura. "Gaara the bookstore has those books you ordered."
"I will go pick them up later then." said Gaara.
"Oh, Temari the class starts at 10 in the morning." said Sakura. "I come over to get you for the class."
