(Nightwish "Wish I had an angel")

"Dear diary I miss him, his scent, that beautiful red hair and those jade eyes. I want to go to Suna , no I need to go there. I NEED TO SEE HIM" Sakura wrote in small blue notebook and left it on small table next to her bed. She didn't have to worry of someone finding it. Her friends won't come this late at night and her parents...She trailed off. Years have passed, pain disappeared but the hollow feeling inside of her chest when she mentioned them remained. Here parents were dead, father died in war and her mother died from sadness right after him. "Stop it, Sakura! There is no time for thoughts like that!" She scolded herself. She got up, had a quick shower, dressed her pajamas and went straight to the bed. Tired, she instantly fell asleep. Outside a man on a tree branch smirked. "She forgot to close her window". His figure slowly faded on the branch until he became invisible. He then stepped out of the branch and floated in the air to her window ignoring gravity like it doesn't exist at all. Even if she woke up she couldn't see him but he stayed quiet. It was better not to risk. He lifted the diary and read the last note. "Helpful but still there is a lot place for wrong judgment". He then noticed the small black box on the table. He opened it and found gold locket with kanji for love and Suna headband. "So it's true. He isn't going to like this". He got out of the room and stood on the road in front of the house. In the moonlight his appearance could be seen. He was beautiful like a fairytale prince. His light blonde hair was wavy and reached his chin. His face looked like it was stolen from an angel. Blue eyes so light that they were nearly white shined like moon. But his cold, calculating gaze showing his ability to kill without regret ruined his beauty. Aura of cruelty was around him and it made people feel uncomfortable despite his beauty. He made a hand a handsign and disappeared in puff of smoke.

He reappeared in dark room lightened only by a small lamp. Walls were covered in dark blue paint. In the middle of the room was large desk made of dark wood. Behind it in leather armchair sat dark male figure. When the male figure noticed the blonde he said in cold tone: 'I hope for your own good, Dasaku that you didn't failed'. The blonde man ,Dasaku, replied: 'No I didn't Master. I would never fail you'. 'So is it true?' asked his Master. 'Yes it is. Judging by the evidences I found that pink girl is indeed Kazekage's girlfriend' he said. The eyes of Master filled with rage .Dasaku raised an eyebrow in curiosity and asked 'One question: Why did you ordered me this? She isn't important to our plans and the Kazekage is not in our hit list nor are you interested in his village.' Dasaku said. 'You are not here to question my orders, you are here to obey them! Now get out!' Master shouted at him. When he was left alone he said quietly to himself 'Sabaku no Gaara unbelievable.'

First rays of sunshine woke up Sakura from her sleep. It was time to start a new day. Another day without him. She dressed up and was about to have something to eat when Kakashi suddenly appeared in her kitchen. "Kakashi-sensei what the-" he cut her off "Anko is going to have a baby soon. Tsunade is out of village we need your help" Kakashi said nervous written all over his masked face. "Lets go then" Sakura said. "It is too early. It wasn't supposed to happen yet". Anko was eight months pregnant and the only two medics Kakashi trusted were her and Tsunade. Ever since he has found out thatAnko is pregnant he was overprotective of her. He was running in direction of his home so fast that Sakura had trouble catching up with him. "I've never seen him this nervous. Actually when I better think about it, I've never seen anyone this nervous". They finally arrived. A scream of pain could be heard from the house. They came in. Anko was lying there with one arm on her stomach. "Anko, Sakura is here" Kakashi said taking her free hand. "It was about time she comes you stupid copy-nin. I hate you this is all your fault". "Don't listen to her sensei, she is in pain and she doesn't know what she is talking about. Anko I need you to calm down, breathe" Sakura said. After thirty minutes of crushing Kakashi's arms. throwing numerous insults at him, screaming Anko gave birth to a beatifull baby boy. Kakashi was currently holding him in his arms looking at the silver haired boy with brown eyes with the most gentle look Sakura has ever seen. "Did you decided his name?". "We are going to call him Isamu. It means bravery" Anko said still lying on the couch. Sakura smiled at he sight of happy family. She started to imagine herself and Gaara in same position. It would be beatifull. She sighed. If she keeps thinking about him not being here she will go crazy. When she was sure that both Anko and the baby were okay she went to her home. It was suspicious to her that Tsunade was out of village but then it hit her. Sakura went to Tsunade's house which was empty. Sakura smirked and went to what seemed like ordinary wall. She concentrated her chakra in her index finger and drew some weird symbol on the wall. The wall split in two and revealed small, messy room filled with scrolls and bottles of sake. Tsunade was there drinking from one of them. "You know Tsunade you should take your job more serious" Sakura said scolding her. It was really hilarious sight. Sakura scolding a woman who was twice her age. "I needed a day off. I'm older than I look" Tsunade said. "Well while you were having your day off I had to help Anko with her child!" Sakura said angry. "Really? Well everything is fine now right, Sakura?" she said. "Yes". "Then there is absolutely no reason to yell at me. "It's good thing that you are here I need to give you something" Tsunade said with a smirk and took a scroll. Sakura knew that smirk very well. Tsunade had something on her mind. "What is in that scroll?" Sakura asked. Tsunade's smirk got wider "A very special jutsu. It's secret so don't teach anyone else how to do it. Use it tonight before you go to sleep". "What kind of jutsu is in that scroll?" Sakura asked. "Oh you'll have to wait and see. But there is one thing I can say. Your dear redhead won't know what got him" Tsunade said. Sakura left Tsunade's house with scroll in her hand completely confused.

It was evening and Sakura was at ramen bar with Ino, Shikamaru and Hinata. Speaking of her Hinata got married to Naruto and she was now living with him. "Billboard Brow I can't believe you caught the Kazekage" Ino said and the continued "I want a hot men from Suna too" she said. " Ino do you ever think about anything else except the boys?" Sakura asked. She completely ignored the nickname. She became immune to comments like that long time ago. "Hey if you two are going to Suna then so am I. Some needs to look after you two. Especially Ino". "I DON'T NEED SOMEPNE TO LOOK AFTER ME" Ino shouted "And you want to look after someone? Oh come on Shikamaru! Everyone knows that you want to see Temari" she added later. "Women are really troublesome" was all that Shikamaru said. He was too lazy to argue. "It doesn't matter why we all want to go. None of us can't go there because we can only go to another village if we have a mission there" Sakura said. Conversation about Suna ended with that and they ate their ramen in silence.

IN SUNA

It was hard. The mission required a lot of skilled shinobi and a detailed research of the abandoned bases that belonged to the criminal group which no longer existed. The Akatsuki. But still they succeeded. One tailed demon Shukaku was now once again sealed inside of his jinchuriki Gaara. The council told him that it would be better if they put it back in a kettle where it belonged. Gaara convinced them by telling them that anyone could took it away. Still what concerned him more was that those old fools could use it against him. They always hated him after all. The demon was weakened and he could sleep but his voice was constantly present in his thoughts. " I can see her in your memories. I bet she is even more hot in reality" the demon said his voice filled with lust. "Shut up just for a minute shut up!" Gaara mentally shouted at the demon. He really missed Sakura and this stupid raccoon wasn't helping at all. He wanted to see her but he couldn't. He could ask Konoha to send her here but he has to have good reason. He couldn't just say 'I'm in a terrible need of seeing my girlfriend. Please send her over'. Then it hit him. He should really remembered that earlier. Gaara took a piece of paper and started to write a letter...

Author's note: I tried to improve my writing and make the plot a bit more interesting than with my first story so please tell me was it good or not. Reviews are really appreciated.
