Chapter one: the Rescue
Sakura looked at their graves and felt a twinge of sadness that all she could put there was their ashes and not even in an urn. They had died on the mission that Sakura still had to complete. Their mission was to get information on the possible whereabouts of the remaining Akatsuki members. The organization had collapsed and the members were now being hunted, but they were still dangerous and had gained many followers. Her assigned team mates had just turned jonin, but they were nothing like any of her friends. She had never met them before, but now she had wished that she had. It was always sad when team mates died on missions because it meant that they wouldn't get the rightful burial that they deserved, but a quick funeral and there name on a board. The first one was Tetsuo, a no nonsense guy who had stayed behind to hold off the enemy for as long as he could. He had great talent, but he was no match for all the enemy ninja's that came to attack him. He was pierced in every single part of his body when they found him, but he was still alive. Sakura asked him if he was hurt and he replied, "I have no feelings in my body." Then his eyes went all cold and lifeless. The next was Mishimoto, who was trying to run, but was hit in the back with a kunai. Sakura helped him fight off the enemy and had succeeded to; until he was cut open by one of the surviving Akatsuki, Kisame. He had been Uchiha Itachi's partner before Uchiha Sasuke killed Itachi. Now Sakura was running from them, but she went back to give her dead team mates whatever burial service she could give them.
Gaara woke up and thought to himself about finding a girl today. He had become the heart throb of Suna, but after tasteless relationships, Gaara just laid low for a while to worry about the village's affairs. He would visit Konoha every so often and met up with Uzumaki Naruto and his friends. He remembered that Naruto had gotten together with the heiress to the Hyugga clan, Hyugga Hinata. She was cute, but over time had become tougher thanks to Naruto's encouragement. Gaara had become good friends with him and his friends, even the ones he hurt. Uchiha Sasuke, the person he nearly killed in the chunin exams, lived with his fiancée, a girl named Kiriomi. It surprised Gaara that it wasn't Sakura, but he realized it was because Sakura could not get over the pain that he'd caused her. Gaara himself had once seen Sakura protect Sasuke from him, but Gaara had pushed her against a tree with his sand. She had gotten stronger physically, but she had scared emotionally by Sasuke's betrayal. Gaara himself had comforted her or at least tried to. If it worked he didn't know, but he had succeeded in becoming good friends with her.
That day he decided to go on a walk to Konohagakure. He used his sand teleportation juts, which had become much stronger since he got Shukaku back. It wasn't easy getting Shukaku back, he had to fight two members of the Akatsuki to do so, but he had gotten it back. After having it inside of him for so long, Gaara felt it was his duty to protect the world from Shukaku by keeping it inside of himself. Shukaku had come back to him changed. It was no longer blood thirsty having calmed down after so many years and it was now a seven tailed demon. Gaara felt good being able to sleep now, but his dreams were always of his friends and Gaara would feel like he's still in a dream even during the day. He decided to teleport himself close to Konoha, but he decided to take the scenic route.
Sakura was running for her life with Konoha so close. When she reached the familiar territory, she had two run two miles till she could run into other Konoha ninjas. She was only a day away from reaching that familiar territory, but she still had to rest and hide from the chasing ninja. She would hide in trees that had holes cut in to them. Tetsuo had done this, saying that on the way back they would have a place to rest before they had to run again. She would give anything to have that humorless soldier standing with her waiting for her to bark orders at him. At first she had been annoyed at this habit of his, then she came to tolerate it, but now she missed it and Mishimoto's impersonations of Tetsuo when he did this. She missed the both of them and wanted them to be there with her. Hell, she wanted anybody to be there to help her, but right now she was just dreaming off into her happy place thinking of the man of her dreams. She didn't know what it was, but recently, when she dreamed, she dreamed of the man who had helped to comfort her when she felt hurt. He had once been the scariest person she knew, but now he was different. She felt safe around him and she felt something else. The origin of these feelings was loneliness, but then she saw that they had so much to give each other.
I can ask him out when I go to Suna, but first I have to make it out of here," thought Sakura. It was then that she heard noise from outside of the tree. She used chakra to mask her presence, but they were moving closer. Quietly, she pulled her kunai out and waited for them to open the door. The protective tree covering was ripped away and Sakura felt hands on her legs. She lashed out at those hands and fingers flew around in the small space. They dragged her out and tried to beat her, but she used her enormous strength to break the ground under them causing them to lose their balance. She then started cutting their throats as she moved from one to another. Before she could finish on the group, she felt something sting her neck. It rendered her immobile, she couldn't move to defend herself and she was at the mercy of the enemy. They began snatching at her clothes and ripped her shirt off. One began to lick her face and then her bra. She shivered as she saw the hunger in each man's eye. They were going to rape her before they killed her. It was all over for her, before she could even find her "love of a life time." She stared in horror at the hand coming closer to her panties. Then she saw it stop and then she saw something tan covering it. Sakura looked up to see Gaara unleash his sand on the men who were going to rape her.
Gaara stared at the men surrounding Sakura and then at Sakura, whose shirt had been ripped and one of her bra straps had been cut. There was no mistaking what he had just interrupted. They were about to do the most horrible thing to someone whom he considered to be a dear friend. It angered him and he made his anger known.
"Who the hell are you," asked one of the ninjas. "What the hell is this stuff on my comrade's hand?"
"I'm Gaara of the Sand and that's sand," said Gaara. "It's also the instrument of your death."
"You little bastard," said the leader. "We captured you before and we can do it again."
"Oh so your Akatsuki," said Gaara with an evil smile. "How wonderful an opportunity is this?"
They attacked him with every single jutsu they could, but his sand was faster and stronger. It deflected everything and soon the ninja were all tired from using all their jutsu and Gaara was still standing waiting for more. One rushed at him with a sword, but was immediately swallowed whole by the sand.
"Sand coffin," said Gaara as the sand lifted the unfortunate bastard up in the air. "Sand Funeral."
The sand of broken bones could be heard over the man's screams of pain as the sand crushed his entire body, splattering blood over the dead man's comrades. Two men tried to run, but were immediately impaled by sand spikes. Then Gaara stuck his hand out as the sand began to form into the shape of a sword. The ninja's looked at him with fear of this new weapon that would surely cut them in half. He would make them pay for trying to hurt one of his friends, but it wasn't just any friend it was Sakura.
Sakura saw Gaara kill three men and she heard the anger in his voice. She found herself pitying the men who had tried to rape her and she knew it was because she had a clear idea of what Gaara was going to do. After killing the first three, Gaara had managed to summon a sword using the sand to harden into a sharp blade. He's so cool,she thought. Where did that come from? Well guess he is cool. Authors note: Bold italics means it's their inner demons. Like for Sakura, Inner Sakura and for Gaara Shukaku.) You be quiet. No I don't, he's just a friend. I just feel that way because he's saving me. You shut the hell up.
She snapped back into reality and saw Gaara cutting up the enemy ninja's with his sand katana that could stretch out at whim. He amazed her at how fast he moved, not only had he improved in ninjutsu, but he had improved in taijutsu. When he had fought Rock Lee, he had only used ninjutsu since his gourd was too heavy for him to carry, but now he moved with the gourd as fast and gracefully, if not more so, than Rock Lee. She could see why when she noticed the rippling muscles beneath his chest and the ammo barrels on his guns. Will you stop talking about that? I don…d-d-do, alright I do find him sexy, but body alone doesn't mean I'm in love with him. I find lots of guys sexy, but that doesn't mean that I'm in love with him. Just shut up.
She then sensed another person behind her, as she turned her head she saw the man who had killed Mishimoto, Kisame. She wanted to call out to Gaara to warn him, but before she could she was knocked out by one of Kisame's slaps.
Gaara could sense the shark-man coming towards him like if someone had played the Jaws music. He turned to see him slap Sakura and felt the anger rise in his body. I feel like sushi tonight. She's a friend of mine and no one hurts my friends and lives to tell about it. Shut up, we've got killing to do.
"Oh so she must be your girlfriend," said Kisame.
"She's a friend and no one hurts my friends you Jaws-looking mother fucker," said Gaara.
"Deidara got you once and I'll get you this time."
"Deidara used a cheap trick, but I was only a one tailed demon then," said Gaara, the killing intent of a murderer rising in his voice. "Since I'm a seven tailed demon, you're nothing, but walking sushi."
"You're not a demon," said Kisame with a laugh. "You're just its vessel."
"You'll never know how ignorant you really are," said Gaara with a sigh.
He disappeared then reappeared behind Kisame, who had to move fast to deflect the sword attack that was launched at him. He was shocked at how quick the vessel could move, but was even more surprised to see that he still had control of the sand even when he moved. It was like the sand and he were partners. Kisame unwrapped his sword and went straight for Gaara, but when he hit he hit only sand. The real Gaara was right behind him covered in sand and smiling his killer's smile.
"Well now for one of the legendary seven you disappoint me," said Gaara.
"I'll paint this forest red with your blood," said Kisame as he charged sword in hand. This time the sand got his feet and he nearly tripped, but managed not to fall forward. This didn't help in the least as Gaara rushed right past, his sand sword cutting into Kisame's neck. Kisame was no more.
Sakura woke up to find a blanket around her and tea burning over a fire place. She saw clothes laid out for her. She didn't see Gaara around so she figured that she'd go look for a nearby river or stream to bathe in. That's when she noticed the hot spring behind her. She removed her clothes and stepped into the warm water and felt her body relax. For eight days, Sakura had to sleep in the most uncomfortable places and got only three hours of sleep before she had to run for her life. She was nearly exhausted. Just before she was about to nod off, she heard something move off in the distance. She saw someone on the other side. The person didn't seem to notice her as they removed ther clothes. Sakura just covered herself up and was about to shout at the person when she noticed the person had blood red hair. GaaraYou and your perverted thoughts.She was about to say something when Gaara turned to face her with his eyes closed. She nearly fainted at the sight of his manhood. He got into the water slowly, it seemed like a lifetime to Sakura and she couldn't stop herself from looking at him. Then she noticed Gaara's eyes opening.
"Who's there," asked Gaara.
"I'm sorry Gaara-sama," said Sakura. "I should leave."
"No please stay," said Gaara. "I don't want to interrupt your bath after all you were here first. I'll just close my eyes."
"You don't have to," said Sakura. "I don't have much to look at and I already saw you naked."
"That's okay," said Gaara. "It's proper for the man to do this or so I read. I don't really know that much about interactions do to how I use to act."
"Gaara just open your damn eyes," said Sakura dropping the –sama. "It's fine if you see me because I know I can trust you."
He opened his eyes and saw Sakura through the mist. Her breasts were medium size and she had a much toned body. I didn't ask. He noticed Sakura getting closer and wondered what he should do. He then felt warm lips on his cheek and he knew that Sakura had kissed him. He turned to look at her and saw that her face was red. She was just as shocked as she was by what she had done.
"That was to thank you for saving me," said Sakura as she got out of the spring. "Excuse me please."
All Gaara could think was, she has a cute ass.
