"Why? What's the point? Isn't Sasuke an ass?" Gaara asked her confused; Sakura rubbed the back of her head.

"Well yes...I suppose he is...but then again so are you. No offense!" She said flinching.

"None taken, I could care less...so how long until Ino gets here?" Gaara asked looking at a picture on the wall.

"A few minutes..." Sakura noticed Gaara looking at the picture; she turned to look, "Oh...that was me when I was younger."

"Why are you all alone?" He asked looking at her and she looked back at him.

"Well...you see I didn't exactly have friends...they all made fun of me because of my big forehead...but Ino stood up for me and now we are enemies." She said then shrugged. Sakura looked at him again and saw that he was staring at her intensely, "W...What?"

"I don't think you have a big forehead..." Gaara said still looking at her forehead; Sakura blushed slightly.

"Well thank you Gaara...but most people think so, including me." She said sticking her tongue out; Gaara looked away and smiled a little.

"Sure okay, whatever you say." He said then he heard a knocking on the door, "Uhh I think Ino is here." Gaara noticed that she doesn't move towards the door, "Aren't you going to ge-" Ino burst through the door panting and she looked at Sakura.

"Where is he!" Ino yelled.

"Where is who Ino? Gaara is right here." Sakura said innocently pointing at Gaara.

"I don't mean the sand freak, I mean motherfucking Sasuke!" Ino screamed putting her hands on her hips.

"Sand freak? You dumb bimbo." Gaara said calmly, "Sasuke is not here, now leave before I decide to kill you." Ino freaked and ran out of Sakura's house; Sakura looked at him.

"Are you okay Gaara?" Sakura asked and Gaara looked at her.

"Fine...now you might want to get Sasuke out of your attic before he dies." Gaara said motioning to the attic door; Sakura went to it opened it; Sasuke fell out, "Maybe it's to late..."

"Sasuke?" Sakura said poking him; he slowly sat up.

"I'm fine, I didn't die...I was just trying to listen to what you guys were talking about then you opened the damn door. Which hurt by the way." Sasuke said rubbing his head.

"Stop being a wuss and leave, I'm sure Sakura doesn't want you here anymore." Gaara ordered crossing his arms; Sasuke stood up grabbing Sakura's chin and pulls her close to him.

"Of course she wants me here, don't you see how she wants to touch my body? How we hug. It's called affection, something you'll never get." Sasuke said holding Sakura to him; Gaara punched Sasuke, making him go through a wall, and uses his sand to catch Sakura.

"You think I'm not aware of that? I've known that for years now you dumb fuck. But I know as a fact Sakura doesn't want you here right now!" Gaara yelled slightly pushing Sakura behind him. Why do I feel protective of her?

"You're stupid, I can see it in her eyes, she still loves me. It's obvious. Why protect her from someone she loves eh?" Stupid moron, Sakura may be nice now, but when you leave she'll forget all about you. Sasuke said standing up and walked towards him, "Now hand her over to me before you hurt her." Gaara twitched slightly and Sakura hid even more behind Gaara.

"Go away Sasuke, just go away, like Gaara said I don't want you here!" Sakura screamed from behind Gaara.

"Fine, I'll pick you up around noon tomorrow, good bye." Sasuke said walking out the door; Gaara's hands balled into fists.

"Sakura..." He mumbled.

"What is it Gaara? Are you okay?" Sakura said standing in front of him so she can see him.

"I'm sorry...I should go, Sasuke is right...I could easily hurt you and I don't want that to happen...and if you truly do still love that ass then I don't want to keep you from him it wouldn't be right. So I'm leaving..." Gaara said slowly; Sakura gasped.

"No! Gaara don't go!"

"Goodbye Sakura-chan, have a nice date tomorrow." Gaara said before walking out the door.

"Gaara!" Sakura screamed before chasing after him, she followed him up to the field until he turned around, "Gaara! Come back!"

Why? No one cares for this sad lonely panda...why do you? "Sakura, go back to your friends, you don't have to worry about me." Gaara said before he turned around and started walking; Sakura reached into her pocket and ran towards Gaara, she grabbed his arm and tied a ribbon to it. It looks like the one that was in the picture.

"Don't leave Gaara damn it, stay here!" Sakura pleaded, but Gaara used his sand to gently trap her to a tree.

"Sakura, don't bother." He said and he looked at the ribbon. Is this a sign of friendship? Gaara vanished into the forest and the sand holding Sakura followed shortly after.

"Gaara! I will find you!" Sakura screamed after him and she felt something on her wrist, she looked down. It's a bracelet made of sand...Gaara...what is the meaning of this? She stood there staring at the spot where he disappeared at thinking if she should go after him or not when Sasuke walked up to her.

"Sakura, what are you doing out here?" He asked her and looked at her.

"I'm waiting for Gaara." She answered not looking away from the spot.

"Why?"
