This is a musical, a gaasaku one. All the songs used are from The Beatles. I did this after watching "Across The Universe". There'll be about 11-12 songs. So this happens after the Rescue Gaara arc. I don't know why but Shukaku's here so, yeah, deal with it. This first song is called "I've Just Seen A Face", it's supposed to sound like the ATU version.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and "I've Just Seen A Face".


5 months, that's how long he's been thinking about that pink-haired kunoichi. After her 3 week stay in Suna five months ago, he can't stop thinking about her, he could possibly even love her. The only he thing he could ask for right now is for that kunoichi, Sakura, to return his feelings. Or just see her, that would calm him down, just see her. Saying he's irritated that he can't get her out of his head would be an understatement, he's… he's…

He sighed… in love.

He clutched the mission report he'd been reading, being the Kazekage can sometimes be such a drag. 'Maybe Temari was right… love.'

'Admit it! You're in L-O-V-E.'

'Oh, it's you.'

'Yo.' Shukaku said, making a peace sign with his fingers.

'Is it really necessary for you to do that?'

'Yup.'

Knock knock

"Come in." Gaara said. His new assistant and old apprentice, Matsuri, came in. "I'm sorry to bother you Gaara-kun!" He twitched. Matsuri really annoyed the hell out of him. She shouldn't even be here, he didn't hire her, his sister did.


Flashback

"She's the best choice, Gaara. She was your apprentice. You already know her." Gaara gritted his teeth, "I said no." Temari sighed.

"Look, I know she's a little annoying but-" He cut her off, "A little? You must be kidding. She and her friends follow me nonstop, she steals our garbage just to get my stuff. She even stole my undergarments, Temari!" He explained.

"Come on, just hire her! She's the only one you know well enough not to kill." She said. "I doubt that." Gaara said calmly. Temari took a deep breath then said, "If you don't hire her," Her eyes narrowed and she smiled mischievously, "I'll eat all your cookies." Gaara's eyes widened. "Y-you wouldn't dare." She smirked. "Oh yes, I would."

Gaara glared at her but she glared back. After 5 minutes, "Fine, I'll hire her." He said reluctantly. Temari pumped her fist in the air.

End Flashback


"What is it, Matsuri?" He asked calmly. "Uh… what was it? Oh yeah! A letter came for you 3 days ago from the Fifth Hokage, you were out so I read it for you." Gaara narrowed his eyes but Matsuri didn't notice. "Anypoo, it said that some medic from Konoha, Haruno Sakura I think, is coming to check on the medics she taught months ago and to teach some chunin medicine." The pencil he was holding snapped in half. His eyes widened.

'Haruno S-sakura?!'

"She's arrived and is waiting for you at the village entrance to escort her back here." She said. "Why can't she come here on her own?! Hmph!" She turned to leave and closed the door, Gaara glared at her. Then he realized she was waiting for him. He grinned, BIGTIME.

He took his gourd and exited the Kazekage tower via window.

Gaara:

I've just seen a face

I can't forget the time our place

Where we just met

He hopped off the roofs of the tower and unto the ground, where villagers smiled at him. He walked towards the village entrance straight ahead.

She's just the girl for me

And I want all the world

To see we've met

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm

He looked at the sky, still walking, and continued.

Had it been another day

I might have looked the other way

And I'd have never been aware

But as it is I'll think of her tonight

La, di, di, da, di, di

He sees a blur of pink, smiles and picks up his pace.

Fallin', yes I am fallin

And she keeps calling

Me back again

He clutched his heart and smiled at it.

I have never known the like of this

I have been alone and I have missed things

His eyes widened and he turned his head to the side to see some fangirls squeeling and screaming his name. And he hid behind a cabbage cart passing by.

And kept out of sight

For other girls were never quite like this

La, di, di, da, di, di

Villagers:

Fallin', yes he is fallin'

And she keeps calling

Him back again

On the other side of the main road, Sakura was walking happily towards the Kazekage tower.

Sakura:

Fallin', yes I am fallin

And he keeps calling

Me back again

She smiles at some kids running and playing, her smile turns wider when she sees a certain red head coming towards her, but still far off. She sings dreamily.

I've just seen a face

I can't forget the time or place

Where we just met

She opens her arms wide and spins around grinning like a crazy person. (A/n: coughSound of Musiccough)

He's just the boy for me

And I want all the world

To see we've met

Mmm, mmm ,mmm, la, di, di

Villagers:

Fallin', yes she is fallin

And he keeps calling

Her back again

Fallin', yes he is fallin

And she keeps calling

Him back again

Gaara & Sakura:

They come closer…

Oh, fallin', yes I am fallin

Closer…

And you keep calling

Closer…

Me back again

They both stand there, blushing madly. The villagers continued on with whatever they did and acted like their Kazekage sang in the streets everyday and it wasn't a big deal. Sakura broke the awkward silence, "So… uh, hi." "H-hi, S-sakura." Gaara said nervously, looking away from her so she won't see his blush. Sakura laughed. "You're stuttering, Gaara?" she said. He didn't answer. A few more seconds of awkward silence.

"Well, let's go on to the Kazekage tower, shall we?" He extended his hand for Sakura to accept. Sakura blushed but took it. "Were you here to escort me?" She asked.

"Yes. Why do you ask?" He asked with a stoic face.

"You don't need to, you know. I already know Suna pretty well. I think I can make my way to your tower." She laughed softly.

He felt warm inside when he heard her laugh. He couldn't help but smile at her. When she saw this, she smiled. "I rarely see you smile, Gaara." She told him. "I don't see it necessary." He said calmly.


They entered the Kazekage tower and was greeted by smiles and whispering people. Gaara sighed. When they reached the door to Gaara's office, they ran into Matsuri. Matsuri glared at Sakura. She didn't like other girls being with his Gaara-kun. "Eh? So you're Haruno, huh?" Her eyes darted to Sakura's pink hair. "Is that even natural?" She said smugly with a smirk on her ugly little face. You couldn't tell but Sakura was fuming on the inside.

'How dare that little pest!!' Sakura screamed in her mind

'Of course, it's natural!! You should look in a mirror you fat brat!!' yelled Inner Sakura.

"Yes, it is natural. Haruno Sakura, apprentice of the Fifth Hokage and medic-nin. And you are?" She said with a fake smile. She extended her hand out to Matsuri. Matsuri looked at it with disgust. "Matsuri, Fifth Kazekage's assistant and old apprentice." She answered before reluctantly shaking Sakura's hand. " Oh? Gaara never told me about you." Sakura said proudly. Matsuri squeezed her hand, apparently Sakura felt it cause Sakura squeezed it ten times harder. Matsuri bit her lip so she won't scream, she can't scream in front of Gaara-kun! Sakura smirked.

"Let's go, Sakura." Gaara said. She nodded and they entered the office. She looked at Gaara and he looked like he was… twitching? She looked at the sight in front of them. Kankuro was leaning on Gaara's chair, feet on desk, eating donuts. Temari was hitting him with her fan looking rather irritated.

"Kankuro, Temari…" Gaara said with gritted teeth. Both siblings stopped, fear and embarrassment obviously in their eyes. Fear of Gaara, embarrassment with Sakura.

"Sakura-chan!" Temari shouted and hugged Sakura. "Hey, Sakura!" Kankuro said. "Hey, guys. I've missed you all so much!" She said. "Hey, Gaara! Look, it's Sakura!" Kankuro shouted while pointing at Sakura. Everyone sweatdropped. Temari hit him on the head with her fist. "Idiot, he knows that!"

Sakura just laughed and Gaara shook his head, if you look closely you could see a tint of pink on his cheeks.

Temari looked at her baby brother's face and snickered. 'Gaara's blushing!! Sakura made him blush!! CUTE!' "Eh? Temari, what's so funny?" Kankuro asked her. She immediately covered his mouth with her hand. She shushed him and pointed to Gaara looking away from Sakura, blushing. Kankuro snickered.

Knock knock

The door opened without permission. You could tell Gaara was annoyed. "Hey, Gaara-kun! A letter from the Hokage came for you." Matsuri handed him the letter, he snatched it from her quickly. "The Hokage?" Sakura asked him. He nodded. She leaned on his shoulder behind him to look at the letter. Sakura immediately stopped what she was doing and stepped beside him when she felt Gaara stiffen and blush. Matsuri probably saw the whole thing because she was clenching her fists and glaring at Sakura.

"Matsuri, you may go now." Gaara said, slash, commanded. "Fine." She said and left but not before glaring at Sakura one more time. Sakura rolled her eyes, "I think we get along, nice." She said sarcastically. She turned to Gaara and asked, "What does the letter say, Gaara?"

Gaara had already finished the letter and read it twice. Then he read it again for Sakura:

Dear Kazekage-sama,

I know that Suna and Konoha are brothers in war so I bring you these people to help in invading Otogakure. I will send Nara Shikamaru and Hatake Kakashi to help you come up with a plan in invading, I've come up with some plans myself, Shikamaru will show them to you if you want. I'll also send Team Gai which consists of Maito Gai, Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji and Tenten to patrol your borders like you asked and do other stuff you want them to do. Seeing that Sakura is there to teach your Suna medics, I'll send some of my other medics, Yamanaka Ino and Hyuuga Hinata, to help her. I'll include Naruto because I need some peace and quiet right now. Hehehe, he's your problem now. They will be arriving three days from now and they will leave when you've decided with a plan or when I give you a message saying that I want them to come back home because it's getting lonely here. Just kidding.

Love,

Tsunade

Sakura, Temari and Kankuro laughed at that last part, Tsunade never ceased to make them laugh. "So let me get this straight. Shikamaru, Kakashi, Naruto, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Lee, Neji and Gai will all come here, three days from now?" Temari asked, enumerating all the shinobi with her fingers. Gaara nodded.

"HUZZAH!! SHIKAMARU IS COMING!!" Temari yelled, not realizing she did that out loud and pumped her fists in the air.

Everyone stared at her, sweatdrop included, blinking once in a while. She looked at them, face red with humiliation. She fidgeted with her fingers.

"Er… ehehe… uhhh… did I say that out loud?" She asked shyly. Everyone nodded, all of them thinking the same thing.

'This will be one interesting week.'


I hope you liked it. The next song's gonna be "Revolution".
