Chapter One: Surprise Surprise

It had been three years since Sakura left Konoha. Every three months she would go and visit. Naruto, Hinata, Neji and Shikamaru always waited by the gate when she would come. That was one of those days. They were all waiting for her and Gaara to come. Hinata was the first to see her best friend. "Sakura-chan!" Sakura was engulfed in a hug.

"It's good to see you too Hinata." Sakura said after Hinata released her. She got hugs from everyone and Gaara wrapped his arms around her.

Suddenly she was pulled from Gaara's arms. Gaara looked shocked. Hinata was the one who had pulled his love from him. "Sorry Gaara-sama, but I need Sakura for girl time." With that the two disappeared.

"That was weird." Neji said. The other three nodded.

"Let's go get some ramen!" Naruto exclaimed. Neji, Shikamaru and Gaara sighed but agreed.

Hinata and Sakura were in Hinata's home. "What is it Hinata?" She didn't like the way Hinata acting.

"I see a ring on you. Now spill." Hinata demanded. Sakura saw that she had no way out. She and Gaara had planned on surprising everyone, but Hinata had a sharp eye.

"He proposed a week ago…" Sakura started.

Flashback

It was around midnight and the moon was full. The night was extremely cold and Suna had just been through another sand storm. Sakura was out in the cold fascinated by the aftermath of the storm. Everything was so still and so peaceful. The moon's light helped the sand glisten. She felt someone come behind her. Sakura turned and saw Gaara. "I thought you were sleeping."

"That's what I thought." Gaara said. He sat down beside her. "It's beautiful."

"It is." Sakura agreed. She shivered. Gaara took her in his arms.

"I love you Sakura." Gaara said.

"I love you too Gaara." Sakura responded.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Gaara stated.

"I do too." Sakura said. She was too much in a daze to realize what was coming.

"Will you marry me then?" Gaara asked. He took out a simple silver ring. That ring meant so much more to Sakura.

"Yes." They kissed.

End of Flashback

"That was so lovely." Hinata said. "Can I see your ring?" Sakura nodded and handed her ring over. Hinata examined it. Sakura had told her that it was so beautiful. It was, but it was so simple. Then she saw it. The ring was engraved with Gaara's sand from his gourd. She finally knew why Sakura loved it. The ring had part of Gaara in it. The engraving said, 'I love you Sakura from Gaara'.

"Now you know why." Sakura said. Hinata nodded. There was silence for a while. "Will you be my maid of honor?"

"Yes!" Hinata squealed. She hugged Sakura.

Gaara, Neji and Shikamaru watched as Naruto eat his fourth bowl of ramen. "So what's up with you and Sakura?" Shikamaru asked lazily.

Taking his eyes away from Naruto he faced Shikamaru. "We're engaged now."

"WHAT!" Neji and Shikamaru asked. Naruto started to choke on his ramen. Neji hit him and Naruto was saved.

"We're engaged to be married." Gaara said again.

"Since when?" Naruto asked. He paid for his ramen and the four left.

Gaara started to explain what had happened in his point of view.

Flashback

There was a sand storm and Gaara was forced to stay indoors. Sakura was in a different building. He had not seen her all day. The storm stopped around eleven at night. Gaara went on the search for her. He checked everywhere. It was near midnight when he thought of the roof. Sure enough, there she was. The moon reflecting off her pale skin. She turned around. "I thought you were sleeping."

"That's what I thought." He answered. He didn't know why, but she seemed in a daze. He walked over and sat beside her. "It's beautiful."

"It is." She agreed. He noticed her shivering and took her into his arms.

"I love you Sakura." It was true. He was so deep in love with her.

"I love you too Gaara." She answered. Gaara felt his heart soar.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He told her.

"I do too." She responded. He noticed that she was entranced by their surroundings.

"Will you marry me then?" he asked. He waited for her answer.

"Yes." Her answer was making his heart skip a beat. He was so happy and they shared a kiss.

End of Flashback

"Congratulations Gaara." Neji said. Gaara nodded.

"So Gaara," Shikamaru started.

"Who's going to be…?" Neji continued.

"…your best man?" Naruto finished.

"…"

Red eyes were burning the darkness around it.

An anbu came in through the Hokage's door. "Hokage-sama!"

"What is it?" Tsunade said. She was ready to take a break.

"Sasuke Uchiha and his team are missing." The anbu said weakly. He ducked as an empty sake bottle was flying toward him.

"WHAT?!"
