Hey I'm back Thanks for the reviews. You guys are the best!!!!!!!!
Let's go to where we left off.
1Sakura woke up and looked around. She was in the park again, but she was in Gaara's lap. She figured at he took her there when she finally fell asleep from crying. Gaara looked down at Sakura and lightly touched her face and whipped some tears that she had.
"You ok" Gaara said in a low soft voice.
"I-I-I thinks so" She managed to get out without crying.
"It's 6:00 in the morning so you can stay with me. I won't leave you so you can go back to sleep k."
"But you need to sleep to." She said looking up at him with big red eyes.
He smiled at her. "It's ok I can't sleep anyway. Besides you need sleep." He said.
For some reason when he looked at her he didn't feel bad about not being able to sleep and having a monster at drives him crazy. He wanted to protect her. She was special to him.
"What do you mean by you can't sleep?" she asked.
"I mean I can't. I've never slept in my life." He said.
"What?!?!" Sakura said
"I'll tell you later k. Now go to sleep." Gaara said as he laid her back down with her head in he's lap. Sakura slowly went to sleep as Gaara looked at her.
"Whoever did this is going to die." He thought
"Don't worry about that I'll kill them before you get the chance." Shukaku thought back to him.
"So you care about her?" he asked surprised.
"Don't be so surprised. I might hate all people, but this girl, there's something about her that I like." It said.
"I don't really care as long as she doesn't leave me."
Gaara looked at Sakura and then at the stars. He moved Sakura up so she was leaning against his chest. Her head fell onto his shoulder. He looked at her face. Her head was tuned towers him and the side of it was shining in the moon light. If people didn't know it was Gaara they would probably be thinking it was the cutest thing ever.
So there they sat two five year olds at a playground, after something no one wants to see, a loved one being murdered right in front of them.
The sun rose and Sakura woke up.
"Good morning" she said with a smile.
"Good morning, you ok?" Gaara said confused that she was smiling and not depressed.
"Yea I'm alright. Let's go and get something to eat." She said.
Gaara sat there watched Sakura in amassment at how she seemed like nothing happened. She stood up and helped Gaara up.
Gaara stared at her for what seemed like hours, While Sakura pulled him down the dusty road. "Why are you so happy?" he finally asked.
Sakura stopped and looked at him with a smile. She looked so happy like with they first became friends. He was very confused at how she was acing.
"What do you mean" She said
"I mean even after all that happened last night you're just so happy." He said
"Well you see my mom and dad are the only ones left in my family. The rest were killed, in front of me." She said. She suddenly sounded so serious. She looked like she had just died, but in a split second she was all happy again. "But I've learned that it's ok. Now I have you."
This girl amazed Gaara she just saw her mother getting killed and is now walking down the street holding he's hand with a big smile, and on top of that she just said that he made her feel better.
"I make her feel better. I make her feel better!!!!"
"See I knew everything would get better."
"I'll stay with her forever. We'll be best friends forever. I'll never be alone again!!!!" He thought.
Gaara then resized that they were going the way to her home.
"Hey Sakura don't you want to go to a food stand to eat?" Gaara said.
Sakura looked at him her head tilted and with a smile. O how he loved her smile and she was giving it to him.
"We got perfectly good food at home why waste it?" she said.
"O umm ok" He said nervously. He was afraid that when they got there she would start to have flashbacks and brake down crying. He never wanted her to cry like she did the night before. He would do anything to keep her smile there. He never wanted her be sad ever again.
She pulled him by he's hand to the door to her house. Gaara was glad that he moved her mother's body, but was still a lot of blood.
She opened the door and walked right past all the blood like it wasn't there. She went to the kitchen where the blow of chicken, broccoli, and rice was that her mother laid out for Sakura. She grabbed the blow and put it in the sink. She then walked over and opened the fridge and got an apple for her and some rice for Gaara.
Gaara watched Sakura getting the food like it was a normal day. He watched her put the rice into the microwave and press start. She then walked over to the table and sat down and began eating her apple.
Sakura was a very independent little girl. She loved to help her mother with everything. She knew how to do everything to survive alone.
The microwave stopped so Sakura put her apple down on the table and walked over to it and put out the rice. She sat it on the table and grabbed some chop sticks.
"Come on. It's not that bad." She said motioning him to set.
He walked over to the table and sat down. He looked at Sakura then at the bowl. He picked up he's chop sticks and grabbed some rice with them, and put it in he's mouth. He then put he's hand to he's mouth and acted like he was going to throw up.
Sakura glared at hem he swallowed the rice and stated laughing at her glaring at him.
"I thought you said it wasn't that bad." He said between laughs.
"Hey that wasn't funny" She whined.
They sat and ate the rest of their food. Sakura looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:00.
"My dad is going to be here soon." She said.
"Really, what are we going to tell him when he gets here?" He said nervously.
"We're going to tell him the truth about what happened." She said as she took Gaara's bowl from he's hands and put it in the sink.
"Come on I'll show you my room." She said taking he's hand and running up to her room. She opened her door to her room and pulled Gaara in to it. She then run over and stuck her head and arm under her bed.
"What are you doing?" Gaara asked setting in her cream colored bed and watching her digging around under it.
"Got it", she said getting up when a camera in her hand. She sat on the bed next to him.
"Are you going to take a picture?" He asked.
"No I'm going to throw it out the window and see if it'll fly."She said sarcastically. "I'm going to take a picture of you silly." She said.
"I don't know. I don't like pictures." He said.
"It's ok. I bet you'll look great." She said pulling the camera up to her eye.
"I don't know." He said but it was too late she took the picture. "Hey" He said.
Sakura giggled and stood up on the bed and took another picture. She jumped off the bed and took one more.
"Hey stop that." Gaara said. He jumped up and tackled Sakura to the ground. She was laughing really hard now. He got the camera from her and sat it where he could get it but not her. He was straddling her stomach. He smirked down at her and she was starting to stop laughing.
"O so you like to laugh? I'll give you some thin to laugh about." He said looking down at her with a wicked smile. He started to tickle her.
"Gaar *laugh* a *laugh* st-st-sto-stop *laugh* IT!!!!!!" She said. Gaara smiled and stopped to grab the camera. When she started to stop laughing he took a picture when she opened her eyes. Gaara got off Sakura and smirked at her.
Sakura was about to give him a piece of her mind when she heard the door open and her dad yell for her. Gaara helped Sakura up off the floor and walked to the door with her.
When she got to the front door she saw her dad with a mad look at her.
"Sakura why is there blood everywhere?" He said trying to be as calm as possible.
"It's mom's blood." She said with a sad look on her face.
Her dad's face suddenly when from mad to sad and concerned in a second. He walked over to his daughter picked her up and hugged her. He walked to the living room and sat her down on the couch with Gaara right behind him.
Gaara hoped onto the couch beside Sakura and looked at her dad.
Sakura's dad looked at him.
"Who are you?" he said to Gaara.
"I'm Gaara, Sakura's new friend." He said.
"Well Gaara." He said as he stood up from being on he's knees. "Can you set here with Sakura as I clean things up?" He said walking over to a closet where there was cleaning supplies.
"Ok" He said watching him put some water in a bucket and poor in some cleaning liquate in with it.
Sakura sat there watching her dad clean up the mess.
"Sakura go with your friend and pack. We're leaving this village." He said.
"WHAT!!! But we can't leave!" She said rather loudly.
"Sakura they said I could have a job in the leaf village. I know we just moved here but after these we're leaving." He said not evening looking at her.
"What about Gaara we can't leave him. He's my first friend!!" She said on the verge of tears.
"I'm sorry but you'll just have to say good bye to him." He said.
"BUT WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM!!!!!" She yelled.
"Sakura I know you like him but we're not staying." He said firmly.
"But but" but he cut her off saying "No!! I'm sorry." He said.
Sakura started to cry and grabbed Gaara's hand and pulled him up to her room.
"You can't go. You're my best friend." Gaara said.
"I don't have a choice." She said in a sad low voice.
She head was low and tears fell from her eyes. You couldn't see her face but Gaara could see that see was trying her hardest not to break down crying her heart out. She shoulders shook from lightly sobbing.
Gaara reached over and held her for what seemed like forever. She lightly sobbed into his chest. She didn't want her to go, and she didn't want to go. Sakura sat up and whipped her eyes.
"Well I better get ready." She said very sadly.
"I guess so" Gaara said on the verge of tears also.
She walked over to her closet and grabbed some folded boxes, and started to unfolded them. Gaara walked over and helped. As much as he didn't want her to go he knew she didn't have a choice.
After about 3 hours of packing in sad silences they were finished.
Gaara was using he's sand to put the heavy boxes on top of each other. It was about 8:00 so Sakura's father came up to her room and told Gaara that he had to go home. Gaara gave Sakura anther huge and walked out the door. When the door shut behind him he started to sob uncontrollably.
Gaara walked down the street to the park, that's where he spent most of his time. He got to the park and sat of the swing that Sakura was on.
"What are you doing?!?! Are you just going to set there and do nothing!?!?!" Shukaku said.
"I can't do anything," Gaara said to the monster.
"Well at least leave her something," Shukaku said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean give her something so you can find her after she leaves."
"That's a great idea!"
"See I can be helpful."
"Shut up"
So Gaara teleported to he's room with he's sand.
He's room was small with a wooden dresser and a mirror. The walls were a sand color and the floor was wooden. On the dresser was his teddy bear and necklace with a picker of he's mom.
He's mom was a small woman with sandy blonde hair. Her eyes were green just like Gaara's.
Gaara grabbed the necklace and held it in his hand. He's sand came to the necklace and he closed he's hand. When he opened he's hand some of he's sand had fused into the necklace, then teleported to Sakura's window.
He opened her window and saw her asleep in her bed. Her hair was spread all over the pillow. The covers were pulled up to her chin.
He jumped into her room soundlessly. He walked over to her bed and looked down at her. He shook her a little and she rolled over and pulled the covers over her head.
"Sakura it's me, Gaara." He said.
Sakura sat up. "How did you get in here?"
"I came throw the window. I want to give you something." He said
"O what is it." She said.
"This" He said holding up the necklace.
"Where did you get that?" She said holding it in her hand.
"It was my mom's before she died." He said.
"I can't take it if it was your mom's." She said.
"No I want you to take it. You see I fused some of my sand into it so I'll always be with you." He said.
"Gaara you're the greatest best friend ever!" she said giving him the biggest huge ever.
"Here I'll help you put in on." He said. Gaara took the necklace and put it on her. He made some sand come and rap around the latch of the necklace to keep it on her forever.
"There now it will stay on for the rest of your life." He said.
"O Gaara thank you!!! I love it." She said.
Gaara got Sakura to lie back down and covered her up with her covers. He gave her a huge and told her he would see her before she left.
She went back to sleep and Gaara got up and walked over to the window. He looked back at Sakura then teleported back to he's room.
When he got there he sat down and though about what he was going to do when Sakura left. Then he heard a knock on the door, it was Yashamaru. Yashamaru was he's uncle. He was the only one that would come near him, but when he was around him he could tell that he was jumpy and nerves.
"Lord Gaara when did you get here?" he said
"I just got back." Gaara said in with a sad tone in he's voice. Yashamaru could sense it and walked over to him.
"Are you ok? What's wrong?" he said setting down beside him.
"I made a friend. She wasn't scared of me and she played with me, but when we got to her home someone killed her mom at their door step. Now her dad is going to the leaf village and he's taking her with him." He said crying a little.
"Lord Gaara if I may say but I'm sure I'll find someone else that will be your friend just like her." He said.
"No not like her." He said
"It well be ok." Yashamaru said trying to comfort him.
Gaara just sat there thinking about Sakura. Yashamaru got up and left him to be alone.
After a few hours of doing nothing Gaara went on the roof. He hopped across the houses and stopped on one that he could look in Sakura's window and see her. He sat there for a while until 8 kunai came from behind and tried to hit him. As usual the sand came up to protect him, then the sand went and wrapped around he's attacker. He used he's sand coffin but not hard enough to kill him. He wanted to see who was trying to kill him while he was so sad.
He walked over to the person and saw that he's finger was wrapped up just like Yashamaru's finger. Some hair was sticking out from his mask, and it looked like Yashamaru's. He reached out with a shaky hand and pulled the mask off. Gaara pulled clutched he's chest where he's hart is and took couple steps back. Gaara looked with horror, lying there was Yashamaru.
"W-w-w-why, why did you *sniff* why did you do this. I thought you loved me. YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME!!!!" Gaara said crying. Gaara's nose was running and it would be an understatement to say that he was confused. He was way past confused. "Father sent you to kill me. You had no choice right?" He said.
"I had a choice and I chose to do it." He said.
"No No you love me." Gaara said hoping it was just a bad dream.
"I tried to love you, I really did, but I think because your birth was what killed my sister I've always hated you. I would also like to say that I killed Sakura' mother." He said to Gaara. "And now" he said as he grabbed the zipper to he's vest. "Now I can be with my sister and kill you." He pulled the zipper and opened he's vest. When Gaara looked Yashamaru had paper bombs all over he's body. "NOW DIE!!!!" he yelled.
Gaara's sand came up to protect him. When the sand fell you could see Gaara with he's knees crying into he's hands.
Gaara stood up breath very hard. He's hair covered he's eyes, then he looked up to the sky and yelled at the top of he's lungs the sand around him went around he's feet at an unbelievable speed. The sand went up in the air like tent poles. The sand went to he's forehead and Gaara yelled even louder.
Suddenly the sand stopped moving and fell all around him. Gaara let his head fall. When he looked up there was blood dripping down he's forehead. He wiped the blood away and you could see the symbol of love there. He looked over at Sakura's window to seen her standing there looking at him.
Sakura woke up to the sound of yelling, Gaara's yelling. She got out of bed and looked out the window and saw Gaara on the roof of the next door Nabors house, sand was at he's forehead. The sand Stopped and fell to the ground.
She saw the blood on he's forehead as he wiped it away. There was something on he's head but couldn't tell want it was.
Then Gaara looked at her she stood there and couldn't move. He suddenly disappeared in a second.
Sakura then felt two arms around her. She looked back to see Gaara hugging her and crying. She saw the mark on he's head that said love.
"Gaara are you ok?" she said.
"Do you love me?" Gaara said crying a little.
"What?" she asked confused.
"Do you love me? Please say you love me."
"Gaara I love you. Now tell me what happened." She said sweetly.
Gaara told her ever thing that happened on the roof.
"Why would he say things like that?"
"Sakura I have a demon in me." He said
"What" She said.
"Before I was born my father sealed the sand demon in me. That's why I can't sleep. That's why my mother is dead." Gaara said looking away from her. "You don't love me any more do you?" he said
"Gaara it's not your fault that you have the sand demon it's your dads, and I will always love you." She said
Gaara looked into her eyes and smiled at her with happy tears going down his face. She hugged him and pulled him over to the bed. She pulled the covers back and hopped into the bed.
"Hop up here." She said.
"Really?" He said.
"Yep come on."
Gaara sat on the bed and pulled the covers over both of them.
"Good night Gaara'"
"Good night" he said back.
Sakura fell asleep again and Gaara watched her for rest of the night.
In the morning Gaara said goodbye to Sakura at the gate of the village. Sakura gave Gaara one last huge and hopped on a horse with her dad.
Sakura looked back at Gaara and waved then turned around and watched as they headed to the leaf village.
As they rode off Gaara watched her slowly go away.
"I'll find you again, and you'll never leave me" Gaara thought.
That was a long chapter.
