Gaara and Sakura Holidays

Gaara hated New Years. Everyone said it was a time for new beginnings, so where was his? He never got a new beginning and this year was no difference…. Or so he thought.

Sakura thought about how she smiled at Sasuke earlier when he walked passed them on their way to Ino's, while inside she was thinking 'die you ditcher!' She had stopped loving him the day he came back, and he didn't like being left. She sighed for the umpteenth time that day. How Ino talk her into this New Years bash she would never know.

"Oh Sakura this would look so great on you!" Said girl yelled from the dark abyss of her second walk-in closet. Emerging from the 'black hole' she held an amazing piece of fabric. Sakura's eyes widened and she took the fabric in a dreamy state.

"I'll wear it." She stated without hesitation.

Gaara wanted very badly to turn around as soon as he stepped foot into the party Temari forced him to. She was off talking as soon as they arrived and Kankoro was already working his way to half-way drunk. Scanning the room he made his way toward the bar. After a few drinks he stopped in mid gulp. Looking at the door with mouth almost agape he starred. Standing there was a girl he slightly recognized. She was wearing a silver and black cocktail dress with a slit going almost too high. Her pink hair was up in an intricate design adorned with a silver flower. Gaara, try as he might, could not tear his gaze from the stunning image of this girl. He suddenly remembered her name. The name of the silver flowers on her dress. Sakura.

Sakura blushed; looking at the ground like it was the newest discovery. She felt like every one was looking at her. Ino squealed.

"You barely walked in and people already think you're stunning!" She whispered. Sakura added another sigh to her growing supply and walked toward the bar. She needed a drink if she was gonna survive this night. She spotted the only seat available, which happened to be next to Sabaku No Gaara. She had heard he improved and was now the loved, yet still feared, Kazekage. She decided to chance it and sit with him.

Gaara had stopped starring and starred at his drink instead, watching the bubbled float from the bottom to the top then burst. He hoped this feeling would be like those bubbles. Last for a moment, but pop soon enough. Fate didn't agree. He felt her walk over a take the seat next to him.

"Hello Kazekage-sama." She smiled. Gaara fought the rising blush hard, but it came out a little victorious.

"Hn. Don't call me that. It's too formal Sakura." He remained calm, but inside something was making him confused as heck.

"O-ok Gaara-kun." That smile came again and this time the blush won as he thought how good his name sounded with that suffix coming from those particular lips. He again wondered what was happening to him. Maybe it was something in the drink. Or the food he had on the way here…

Temari and Kankoro sat in the shadows. "Do you think the relaxant worked? Maybe He'll finally find a girl." Kankoro stated. Temari looked at him weird so he proceeded to read the bottle. "This makes you relax, but especially around the opposite sex. It may even show the feeling you yourself didn't know you had." He read.

"Oh, this'll be good. Ten thousand yen says he kisses Haruno by the end of the night." Temari took out the money.

"Done!" Kankoro got out his.

Sakura had no idea that Gaara could be so…. Talkative. I mean… he wouldn't stop. She began talking about funny stories with team seven, and he starts going on about his team and their funny stories. Of course he didn't laugh, but it made Sakura laugh.

"And that Kankoro tripped Temari and she fell in the mud in her new dress. She chased Kankoro around Suna for a week, literally." He finished yet another story. Sakura was holding her sides giggling.

"That sounds so much like those two. How are they by the way? I haven't seen them at all." She looked around then faced Gaara again. "And I've never herd you talk this much. Did something…" Naruto came over and interrupted Sakura.

"Gaara talked a lot? Did he break his record of four words?" He asked, obviously very interested.

"Um… yeah. He's told me three Kankoro and Temari stories now." Sakura replied.

"Really?" Naruto's eyes got really big. "Why don't you ever talk to me like that Gaara?" He whined.

"Cause you're a dope." He said.

"SEE! Only four words." Yelled Naruto pointing an accused finger at Gaara.

"Would you like to loose that?" Gaara asked. "There happy. Six words."

"YAY! I'm happy." Naruto walked off to find Hinata.

"Anyways, why do you talk to me so much?" She asked.

"I don't know. You are just really easy to talk to for some reason, and I rhink Temari and Kankoro put something in my drink." He shook his head. "but it let me talk to you, so maybe I should thank them." He shrugged at this.

"Well I'm glad too. I like you like this Gaara. You talk to me like a person would. You talk to me in one night than Sasuke talked to me our whole lives!" she giggled while Gaara just watched her with a slight unnoticeable smile. "Oh, I better go. I have hospital work tomorrow." Sakura looked at her watch. It was 2:41 am.

"I'll walk you.' Gaara offered.

"Thanks."

"So where do you live?" Gaara asked.

"Not far. Just around that corner." She answered. She was tingling all over and she didn't know why. Gaara just seemed to be able to do that to her. "So how long are you here?" Sakura asked.

"We leave tomorrow night. I was just here for a meeting." He told her.

"Oh…"she said. Disappointment was evident in her small voice and she cast her gaze downward. When they reached her house he walked up to the porch with her. She jumbled through her purse for her keys, not wanting to make him stay later than he needed. When she finally got the keys out she looked up to say goodnight only to have a sudden warmth spread over her. Realizing the warmth started at her lips she closed her eyes. Gaara, the Kazekage, was kissing her. He wasn't drunk and she wasn't dreaming. He was really kissing her. After a while they broke for air.

"I hope to see you again soon Sakura." He said. With a last quick kiss he disappeared in some sand. Sakura opened her door, closed it, turned around, and jumped on her couch squealing. Ino would want to know everything.

Gaara was actually smiling. He thought for a minuet then came to a conclusion, He got a new beginning this new years.

Temari counted the money in her hand while a crying Kankoro sat next to her. She knew that her plan would work.
