Blossom in the Wind

Prologue

Ok I promised my friends I would put this story I wrote a while ago up and now they also want me to continue it so I made over…. I'm just not going to tell you. So, the couple is….. Gaara and Sakura. Yep. I, at first, was thinking about just trashing the story and just leave it be, but my friends insisted I put it up here. Don't ask why but, now that I have finished it, I would like to ask those who know about them so well and that my friends continue to say they are made for each other. Please tell me when there was any Gaara and Sakura moments in the show at all. Cause I didn't see any. Ok. Here you go. Enough of my babble.

He sat out on the roof of his house, cornered by other thugs hideouts and criminal get away spots. To be quite honest, he didn't care. Though he did care if his gang got into trouble. He wasn't the leader of it nor was he second in command, he was just a member and so was his brother and sister. He knew that after getting control of himself, he would have to do everything he could to make sure that none of them would get hurt.

This was his family and he wasn't just going to stand by and let some crazy criminals take them away from him, but even with his new found purpose, he still felt empty inside and it wasn't because of Shukaku being sent into slumber. He just felt like that some part of his soul was missing and that he needed to find it soon.

Knowing that even watching the stars and seeing how they shine above him, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something better than this kind of life. If something or someone could breathe that life into him, he would take it without asking.

He sighed as he looked at his watch. 3;15. It read. He sighed again, wishing that sleep was just so easy to come by for him. But, he knew it would be awhile before his body got use to the idea of laying in a bed and closing your eyes for 12 hours or less.

The very thought of just losing consciousness without being in pain was curious to him. How could someone allow themselves to lose consciousness, to be open to any attack and the just ignore everything around you because your mind would play sweet images into your dreams? It puzzled him even more that to hear his brother say that he would dream of many women and….

He shook his head. He didn't want to go down that road again. The things Kankuro would dream up was beyond him. He looked up at the moon as it glistened across the night sky. He only had one thing to ask before descending into his home.

"Why must I wait for that one moment when so many others are given so many moments in a single second?"

As he glided down the roof and onto the balcony to where his room was, he could of sworn he saw a small blossom petal, blow by him and into the sky. Blossom. He thought as he closed the door to meditate and maybe try to sleep and dream of a better life.

What do you think? I know its short but I promise up coming chapters will be longer. Promise.
