Chapter Two: The Hanabi Festival"Tsunade-shishou! I'm back!" announced Sakura as she walked through the office doors.
"Oh wonderful! So… how did it go! Did you beat him?" bombarded the Hokage.
"Um…. yea I won. He said that I can come to Suna." Said Sakura sheepishly.
"Great. You know Sakura this makes the situation much better," said Tsunade matter-of-factly.
"How exactly?" asked Sakura.
"Well…you're going to Suna to forget about Sasuke, and Gaara there will just make a bigger distraction!" explained Tsunade.
"…E…excuse me!" sputtered Sakura.
"Well think about it. You have just seduced the Kazekage of Suna, Gaara. Seeing as you're going to Suna he will always be there with you. And he will most likely try to get back at you for doing what you did. Maybe in the end you'll even fall in love. And then you can…"
"...T...thank you Tsunade-shishou…but I think that that's enough predicting for the future," Sakura interrupted. She didn't want the remainder of her life to be foretold by her sensei, especially if her sensei was a pervert and very exaggerative.
"Very-well then. I suggest you go and start packing. I want you to leave tomorrow morning. I don't want you to miss today's festival," smiled Tsunade.
"You're so eager to get rid of me Tsunade-shishou," joked Sakura.
"Sakura…I'm hurt that you think that I would want to get rid of you," said Tsunade dramatically while putting her hand over her large chest. (Well not really large…more like ginormous!)
"You know that I'm just kidding with you Tsunade-shishou," giggled Sakura. Times like these made the years without him much more easy, "Well, I better go and get ready. I have to look my best for the festival tonight."
"I knew that I taught you more than just jutsu's." joked Tsunade. (The joke is, if you don't get it, you know she taught her how to look good and to always dress well...you know… back to the story)
"Of course Tsunade-shishou. Bye…see you later," said Sakura as she waved goodbye and walked out of the office.

'Hmm…I wonder. What should I wear to the festival today? Something really formal, or something more party-ish. Ugh…why is it that when I need Ino she's never around!' thought Sakura.
"Oi! Sakura!" yelled Ino as she walked down the street with Shikamaru. Over the years Ino had matured but she was still as hyper and bouncy as always. Once Sasuke had left, she had moved on, and found out that Shikamaru liked her. Since then, they had been going out. So that was about 2 ½ years of dating already.
'Speak of the devil,' thought Sakura happily.
"Hey, Sakura what's up? You seem a little lost," said Ino.
"Yea…I was thinking of what I was going to wear to the festival today, and I just can't decide. Thank-god I found you!" said Sakura, as she pulled Ino and started to walk away. "Sorry Shikamaru! I'm just going to borrow Ino for a little while. Ja ne!"
"…So troublesome," sighed Shikamaru as he turned around and walked away.
----
"So… what do you plan on wearing tonight?" asked Ino as she and Sakura walked onto the main street, for shopping of course.
"Well…I couldn't decide whether to wear something formal or party-ish. It's a festival, but I want to look really good," whined Sakura.
"Dressing up for someone special?" said Ino slyly while she winked.
"N…no! Ino why would you think something like that…" stuttered Sakura while fighting down a blush.
"Well, whatever. I won't butt into your business. Do you have any idea what you want yourself to look like?" asked Ino.
"Well…" said Sakura. And thus the search for the perfect outfit began.
------- 2 hours later
"Ino! I don't like this one either!" whined Sakura.
"Well if you picked something out already, we wouldn't have to be doing this!" retorted Ino as she continued digging through hundreds of outfits.
"But you know how picky I am! I don't want anything to open, too tight, too loose, or skanky," said Sakura
"So freaking picky. Ugh!" complained Ino.
"Sorry," apologized Sakura.
"Whatever…Hey what about this kimono?" asked Ino as she held up a baby pink kimono with white trimmings. It had gold outlines of Sakura blossoms along the bottom and sleeves. The cut went right above her cleavage, not so that it wouldn't be seen, but just not too revealing. It was perfect!
"Uhuh…I like that one," said Sakura in monotone voice as she came up to Ino and slowly took the kimono out of her hands and carried it as if it were the most precious item on the planet. Ino laughed at her best friends antics.
"Ino its perfect!" said Sakura after she put it on.
"Well then lets go. The festivals in 2 hours! Hurry up and go pay for it!" said Ino as she walked out of the fitting room.
-------- At the festival
"Wow, its so amazing!" exclaimed Ino as she and Shikamaru walked into the festival district.
"Hn, so troublesome," sighed Shikamaru.
"Nan kai ta?"(Nan kai ta: what did you say?) said Ino as she turned around with a threatening glare.
"N...nothing, Ino." Stuttered Shikamaru.
"Well that's good to hear! Come on Shika-kun! Sakura hurry up already!" said/yelled Ino to Shikamaru/Sakura. At hearing Ino, Sakura quickly ran up to the couple.
"Sorry…my shoe fell off while I was walking," explained Sakura.
"Yeah whatever. Shika-kun and me are gonna go and meet up with Tenten and Hinata. You wanna come with us?" asked Ino. As an answer Sakura just nodded.
"Well hurry up. We said we would meet up with them ten minutes ago," said Shikamaru with a bored look.
"Right. Don't want to keep them waiting!" said Ino as she grabbed both Shikamaru and Sakura by the wrists and dragged them to the center of the district where they met up with Tenten, Hinata, Neji and Naruto.
"Hey guys!" yelled Ino as she ran up to them.
"Hey!"
"Do you think they sell ramen tonight? Maybe even at a discount… Oh hey guys!"(I think you can guess who said that)
"H…hello,"
"Hn,"
"All of you look so good!" complimented Ino, "I always knew you guys would get together eventually." At this all four of them blushed. (By the four I mean Neji, Naruto, Tenten, and Hinata)
"Anyways, lets go par-tay!" Exclaimed Ino as she once again dragged Shikamaru and Sakura with her to a nightclub. Of course everyone followed along.
When they all got to the entrance they were allowed in for free because of the festival.
"Well what do you guys wanna do first?" asked Ino. (Isn't she just a bundle of hyperness…)
"I dunno…what do you wanna do Neji?" asked Tenten.
"Well what are you supposed to do at a nightclub?" retorted Neji with his usual scowl.
"Well then if that's how your gonna act then I get to chose everything you do…GOT THAT?" exclaimed Tenten.
"Hn," said Neji
"Ugh…whatever," said an angered Tenten. But little did she know that that was what Neji was planning.
"Come on Tenten… you can't be mad at me forever," said Neji with a genuine smile.
"Awwww! That's so sweet! How come your not like that Shika-kun?" said Ino.
'At least she has someone to be with… I don't even have that much.' thought Sakura.
"Boo," whispered someone right next to Sakura's ear.
"Ah!" exclaimed Sakura but no one noticed. Naruto was with Hinata at the bar. Neji was trying to get Tenten from being mad at him, and Ino was once again arguing with Shikamaru. Another thing was that the music was pretty loud (pretty loud meaning can't hear a thing your saying! Come closer! (I think that clubs do that on purpose so that people would get together just to talk…lol…They're geniuses!))
"You know…that was a pretty low stunt you pulled back at the training fields," whispered the mystery person once again as Sakura turned around to face Gaara.
"Um… Hehe… well I really needed to get away from Konoha and the only way to do that was to beat you, I'm sorry! I was and still am desperate." Pleaded Sakura.
"hn, did you think that you would get away with that Kunoichi?" said Gaara as he twisted his head to a different angle.( So basically it now looks like Gaara is examining her or more like the side of her face)
"Kazekage-sama, I,"
"Gaara, not Kazekage-sama," said Gaara with disgust.
"…Gaara, I've already told you that I was really desperate," said Sakura.
"Just because you said that doesn't mean it didn't happen, right?" said Gaara with something hidden behind his words.
"I did happen but,"
"so you admit it happened?" interrogated Gaara.
"Yes."
"Do you also admit that your sole purpose was to seduce me?"
"Yes."
"Alright then," said Gaara as he straightened back up.
"But...do you admit that you enjoyed it?" murmured Sakura not intending Gaara to hear it, but sadly for her, he did.
"Did you say something just now?" said Gaara.
"No!" said Sakura a bit too quickly.
"Now come on, I want to know what you just said," pressed Gaara.
"You don't need to know," said Sakura sheepishly as she stepped back.
"Oh but I do," said Gaara as he stepped forward. Before you know it Sakura is at a dead end…the wall.
"Come on Kunoichi, tell me," said Gaara. When Sakura was about to retort Gaara had the perfect opportunity to press Sakura up to the wall, just like she had done to him. And because of his actions Sakura was forced to gasp, well not really but she did anyways.
"Kunoichi if you don't repeat it I will have to force it out of you," cooed Gaara as he pushed into Sakura even more. (Think of a squished sandwich. Gaara and the wall are the bread and Sakura is the meat and w/e)
"A…I…" stuttered Sakura as her mind tried to process what as going on.
"Now you know how it feels, to be put into this situation," whispered Gaara into Sakura's neck.
"gasp" gasped Sakura out of shock and…enjoyment?
' Shit! I shouldn't have listened to Tsunade-shishou! I should've just…just…ugh there was nothing else I could do! And what the hell am I supposed to do now!' thought Sakura with panic. You would be panicking too if you were in her situation.
"Ku-noi-chi…" whispered Gaara hotly.
'Well at least he's hot…' thought Sakura while mentally giving up on the situation. The most she could do was let Gaara do whatever he had planned to do to her so she could get on with her life. But if she did let him do that, they would have an extremely weird relationship when she moved into Suna. Obviously, Sakura was going to fight back with all the power she's got, and believe me that's a lot of power.
"Are you alright kunoichi?" said Gaara slyly while smirking.
"My name is Sakura, not kunoichi," growled Sakura with an enormous aura of anger radiating from her.
"Wow, Kunoichi. You sure are mad right about now aren't you?" said Gaara with his once again all-knowing smirk.
"Get off of me!" yelled Sakura as she tried to push Gaara off of her, but Gaara's grip on her was too strong.
"Sakura…" whispered Gaara as he pushed his hip onto hers.
"Ugh," moaned Sakura. Of course this only caused Gaara's smirk to grow three times in size.
"Enjoying this Sakura?" said Gaara slyly once again.
"Uhuh," answered Sakura without thinking.
"Good," said Gaara as he moved in and claimed her lips as his. The sudden action caused Sakura to gasp and gave Gaara the perfect chance to move his tongue into her mouth. He explored her mouth for the first time and Sakura's only response was to kiss him back as she closed her beautiful jade sea foam eyes. The two of them explored each other as Gaara subconsciously pushed into Sakura even more making her moan into their breathtaking kiss. After a little while longer Gaara took his mouth off of hers to catch his breath. But what caught him off guard was Sakura. Her eyes were still closed from their kiss and her luscious pink lips were swollen. She looked like a goddess in his eyes.
"Hn… I'll see you soon Sakura," whispered Gaara as he disappeared in a whirlwind of sand.
'Well that was unplanned,' thought Sakura as she opened her eyes and pushed herself off of the wall, although unsteadily. 'Shit! Now I definitely know how he felt. But…it felt so good.
'Hehe… so you agree with me now that he is extremely hot and that he taste's delicious?' said Inner-Sakura.
'Sadly…yes,' thought Sakuraas she walked over to the bar. "Time to get this night on the road."
-------- Tomorrow morning
"Ugh…what happened," moaned a hung over Sakura as she sat up from a black bed.
"You know you shouldn't have drank so much last night. Somebody could've took advantage of you," said…someone.
"Gaara! What are you doing in my house?"
