Not minding the medical kunnoichi sitting across from him he stayed busy trying to dry both of their clothes. She stole a peek and saw the light of the flames playing shadows across his toned body. She looked down and hoped he hadn't noticed her. "I reckon you kept your underwear or brought none. You might still get sick if you keep them on. I won't look so get your shame over with woman! And stop acting as though you didn't possess a remarkable body!" Gaara spoke long enough to compliment her! 'I bet Ino hasn't had the honor!' Inner Sakura gleefully remarked 'A Kazekage has complimented you! Lil' weirdo said something nice and he's hot too!' Her cheeks and ears turned red as she tried to hush Inner Sakura. Mustering all the courage she could she squeezed an "...arigatou..." but stopped when she glimpsed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly he turned around and she faced his back wondering she had offended him. Not knowing what else to say she shyly offered "I haven't looked at your... you-know-what or anything, it's just that..." "You can have that side of the cave to rest while the rain stops" he cut her off suddenly and she became senseless mad. If he were a Konoha shinobi he'd know better than to try her temper. No man, not even Sasuke, was allowed to interrupt her so abruptly, so rudely, so insensitively. She got up and stomped her way to face him. He looked sideways as her eyes rested on his swollen partner. She found herself unable to tear her gaze from it, fascinated and scared of it at the same time. "Woman, I'd like my robe back now..." His cheeks flushed as he realized this was the first woman to look at his hardened partner.

"The name's Sakura you jerk, and I'm sorry but I'm using the robe right now, you surely don't expect me to..." He pulled her closer, covering himself with the bundled girl "I'm sure you won't mind sharing" She looked sideways trying to hide the crimson that had crept in her face as she felt his hard self pressed against her scantily clad body. One hand secured in the small in the back, the other held her chin up to his face as he smiled "You don't mind sharing, ne, Sakura-kun?" she shook her head slowly and lost herself in the sea of his eyes. No resistance was offered as he pulled her face closer and their lips met. He had never kissed anyone and wondered if simply pressing his lips against hers caused the stream of tears that now escaped the shaking girl. He held her tight and waited for the sobbing to subside.

He agreed with his sister's boyfriend that women were complicated beyond male reasoning. They cried for everything, competed against their female peers and hesitated at every turn, especially when dealing with men. He had met the pink haired girl in his arms a few years ago during the Chuunin exams. And to his knowledge she still craved the attention of the younger Uchiha traitor, rejected the taijutsu freak and ignored her blonde teammate's affections, the only other human he had so much in common with. He had even heard of the endless rivalry she had with her childhood friend but wondered why two completely different beautiful kunnoichi would compete for men if they could have them all and share too. And now he had blemished his first kiss by kissing a spoiled psycho woman...

"I'm sorry Gaara-kun, it's just that I've always had everything but what I've really wanted I've never had... I hope you understand..." 'Love... more than anyone I understand you Sakura' he thought quietly as her sobbing subsided. "You're right, I'm a ninja... and all this time I've been acting like a little daddy's girl or something... I won't hesitate anymore, I'm in a real world not a fairytale and we shinobi live to protect our precious ones, sacrificing our lives if necessary. There's no time for silly dramas, we must make the best of the situations we are in and learn learn learn!" She beamed him a smile as his fingers wiped the remaining tears away. Then to his surprise she kissed him back, but didn't just press her lips against his this time.

He smiled as she possessed him, nibbling his lower lip, kissing his brow, digging her slender fingers in his wet red hair. Kankurou had told him something about that earlier, that when women tried (usually in vain) to rid themselves of all insecurities in one stroke they ended up seducing the first man that offered an alibi. Still he'd expect any and every woman to hold back if they knew he was a Jinchuuriki and not particularly the most stable of them. She scratched his back playfully as her tongue violently danced across his chest. He experienced a whole new variety of sensations as she greedily sucked on his member, her hands caressing his pelvic area. He wondered if all women could trigger such bodily reactions in him and made a mental note to have some village girls sent to his quarters.

Shukaku chuckled inside, pleased and smiling at him. He grinded his teeth as his juices rushed out of him and into the kunnoichi's mouth. She sat back, shocked and gagging at the invasion in her mouth. She swallowed and smiled realizing that the Kazekage tasted sweet regardless of the salty gooey flavor she had been told of. He grabbed his now dry dark robe from a corner and laid it next to the girl, motioning her to sit on it. He breathed deeply and reveled in the smell of wet grass, male seed and female scent mingled in the air. He kneeled between her slightly open legs and cradling her head in his hands laid her down. With a finger he traced the remaining seed at the edge of her mouth and playfully spread it across her smiling lips. He kissed her and tasted himself on her, surprised that it wasn't bad at all.

Having his sand eye was a good thing for times like these. Some weeks ago he spied his brother banging Ino in a room next to the office. Kankurou smiled and acknowledged the watching eye but said nothing to his girlfriend as he basically illustrated his younger brother how to please a woman. He was sure all women weren't the same but after that time he didn't dare to spy on the couple anymore and seeing his sister's dealings was of course out of the question. If he were lucky Sakura wouldn't be experienced enough to notice his virginity. Shukaku cheered his host as steady fingers began pleasing the medical kunnoichi. As she whimpered in bliss he inserted two fingers from his other hand and performed a jutsu to seal the cave entrance before she could notice. 'When the woman's wet enough you can insert yourself and push it inside against her until she makes a total wet mess.' Satisfied with his previous observations he patiently waited until she seemed 'ready'.

She was panting heavily but he knew nothing of mercy during intercourse. Positioning himself for entry he grabbed her waist and her hair. Her body arched upwards as he plunged himself instinctively against her tight warmness. A scream pierced the air and he was certain that were it not for the sand at the cave entrance the sound would've reached the village. The pair were unaware of the two other lovers in a nearby cave who stopped mid-intercourse and left disturbed by the thought of other strange people doing it in the same area. Gaara lost himself in the hypnotizing rhythm, savoring every whimper and every involuntary movement he triggered in the girl below him. He thought he was able to finally understand why his brother and his sister's boyfriend bothered with women. 'Delicious' was all that played in his mind along with the echo of Shukaku's amused laughter.

Some hours later his robe lay completely spoiled and a girl laid on it nearly lifeless from exhaustion. Her face seemed paler but her flushed cheeks gave away the happy healthy girl. He knew she wouldn't last an extra minute but he felt as if he could go on for days. He unceremoniously pressed his lips against hers and coaxed the sand to leave the cave entrance to cover him. Sakura stared at the sand that danced all over his naked body but couldn't tell the difference once the armor was in place. Not concerned with his bare self he walked over to cave's entrance while the girl achingly dressed. "I'm sure you are expected at your village. If you need more rest I'll stay with you as long as necessary. I'm aware it's a three day trip to Konoha so do not rush yourself."

"It's OK, it'll be ready to depart soon, I just need to do a little medical jutsu on my hips and legs and I'll be like new, thank you Gaara-kun." She smiled at what she thought was real concern. 'Maybe he's a little rough around the edges but I'm sure that's something I could fix' Inner Sakura smiled victoriously. "Very well then, I'll stay somewhat longer until my clothes dry again, make sure no one sees you on your way out, I'm sure nothing good would come out if news spread of the Kazekage with a Konoha kunnoichi... I'm sure you understand." Sakura nodded, her expression blank, undecided if she was feeling hurt or offended or indignant or sad about his words. She had finally found a new object of affection and here he was dusting her off as a nuisance after banging her?

He was still naked by the cave entrance as she walked past him and remained unmoved when she looked back several yards away. Under the cover of night he left for his village wearing the slightly dirty robes and changed hastily. A few hours later his brother barged in to the office saying how he was with his girlfriend at a nearby hideout and they heard a sky piercing scream. Gaara contained his urge to laugh as his brother explained how Ino thought it was a vengeful mountain spirit while he tried to convince her it was another couple. In the end they agreed it must be another pair but thought it was disturbing because they didn't know who it could be and decided to resume their affair in the privacy of the puppet master's room. The Kazekage simply smiled amused but said nothing of his heated affair with the medical kunnoichi, instead he surprised his older brother "Speaking of women and that which I happened to see the other day, do you think I could get any sand village volunteers to warm my bed every once in a while?" Needless to say Kankurou's jaw dropped in shock.

Back in Konoha Sakura tried to decide whether she was proud of her first one-day stand or if she should feel ashamed. 'Silly maybe you're addicted to handsome insensitive-looking guys... crush on Sasuke, got screwed by Kiba and Gaara... who's next, Neji?' Inner Sakura complained but suddenly both smiled as she took a cup of sake to her lips and the idea of being embraced by the Hyuuga boy didn't seem like such a bad idea...

Jajajajajajaja maybe I'll do that pairing next! I don't know but even though most people see Ino as sluttier, I think it's Sakura who'd be "easier". Just look at the multitude of characters she's hooked with in the fanfics and see in how many she actually tries to 'say no' (except in NaruSaku and SakuSasu).
