Ok next chapter this one might have smut but it might not. So beware but don't be too afraid but you should still worry. Moo-ha ha. Oh and for you people that suck at life Baki is the sand teams old sensei
'No we're good ninja too!
Not really you see in this show if you sneak around and kill people it means your bad.
See the good guys wait till some one they love dies or their about to die to kick butt.'
Ha ha I saw that online.
I do not own Naruto!
Sakura Shikamaru and Naruto walked a head of Kakashi. They had picked up speed when they saw the wall to the sand village.
"Thank god if I had two go one more day in this heat I would have died." Sakura had abandoned her vest about a day ago. Now she just wore a black sports bra. But she was still hot.
"Your barely even wearing anything!" Naruto said. He still had his black shirt on.
"Well I'm still hot!" Sakura tried to get mad but couldn't it was vary to hot.
"Shikamaru how are you not dead from heat exhaustion?" Sakura said wiping the sweat from her face.
He looked over at her then shrugged. "Um" He turned back away from her.
Well so much for conversation. Sakura thought as she took a drink of water from her bottle.
They walked the rest of the way in silence. When they reached the wall they were met by two guards.
"Sate your name and purpose!" One of the guards almost yelled at them.
"I'm an Hatake Kakashi This is my squad. We are here to renew the alliance between Sand and Kohonna." Kakashi stepped toward him.
"Alright you may enter." The guard said stepping aside to let them threw. Sakura looked at the guard out of the corner of her eye as she walked past him.
Jerk… She thought snapping her eyes away. As they walked into the city sakura moved over to Kakashi.
"Hey. Is it just me or did that guy have a major attitude?" She had leaned in to his ear so no one else could hear her.
Kakashi tilted his head a little.
"Sakura you have to remember that this is their village. They might think that are lack of protection is stupid and just asks some one to take us over. But really we have are security spread evenly threw out the village." Kakashi pulled away but then pulled her back to him.
"Oh and remember they were in invaded and had their Kazekage taken."
Sakura nodded. She was about to ask how they were going to find there way around but a voice from behind her stopped her.
" Well… you guys got here faster then we anticipated." Kankuro said walking toward them.
"Hey Kankuro! Where's Gaara?" Naruto asked.
Man no one ever comes just to see me. It's always Gaara. Kankuro thought as he side.
"Sorry Kankuro-san what he means is how have you been?" Sakura asked stepping forward to him.
"Wow it's been a wile. You've got taller since I healed you." Sakura said.
Not to mention sexier! Man if he where to lose the face paint he'd be hot!
Kankuro looked down at Sakura's outfit. (Or there lack of) He forced his eyes back up to her face.
"Yea…I'm almost as tall as Baki." He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
Man is this one of Sakura's many talents? The ability to make any man uneasy with the snap of her fingers. Naruto thought look at her slightly annoyed.
"So anyways how about Gaara…" Naruto asked.
….
….
….
They stud in front of Gaara's desk. Sakura was shocked over how different he looked. His once emotionless face was now full of them. From the time they walked in till now.
"I'm sorry to push you guys out but I have a meeting and as much as I would like to miss it…." He trailed off looking at some papers. Then looked back up.
"Sorry but I have to go….. Kankuro?" Gaara looked over to him. His mind was obviously was on the meeting.
"Yes?" he answered.
"Can you show them where they will be staying? I really don't have the time." He asked holding up papers.
"Yea no problem." Kankuro said.
Kakashi Shikamaru and Naruto started to walk to the door but Sakura had been daydreaming and was standing by a window looking out it.
"Sakura-san?" Gaara had gotten up from his desk. "Are you O.K?" She looked around too see the room was empty except for the two of them.
"Oh…Sorry…I…Yea sorry" Sakura said turning a little red. She moved toward the door. As she stepped out it she turned back to him.
"Sorry again. It was a pleaser seeing you again Gaara-san" She smiled then walked out.
"Pleasers all mine." He said as he lessened to her hurried footsteps in the hallway.
Sakura caught up to the other a little way down the hall.
"Thanks for waiting! You jerk." She walked up to Naruto.
"Sorry Sakura I um...really didn't notice you were gone." Naruto looked down at the floor.
"Cause that helps?" Sakura said shaking her head.
"Well anyway you rooms are this way." Kankuro said starting to walk again.
"Hey Kankuro why do you still wear that makeup?" Naruto asked
Kankuro's eye twitched a little before he answered. "It's not makeup it's face paint. And I wear it because it intimidates people." He said
"Yea it just screams 'fear me and my puppet of doom'." Sakura said earning a laugh from Naruto and a smirk from Kakashi and Shikamaru.
"Oh yea what is it you do? Besides healing? At least I kill people you're just a medic. What are you going to do heal some to good so the die of perfection?" Kankuro snapped back at her.
"Fine next time you get stabbed by an crazy puppet master go craw to someone else to heal you dumb ass." Sakura looked at him. "Oh who I BEAT by the way." Sakura added. Talking about the way she had killed the Adzuki member.
"Yea well what ever…..here are your rooms. Naruto you're the first one. Shikamaru second. Kakashi third." He looked at Sakura. "And thing you have the forth" He glared at her as she past him.
"You know your lucky we're here re-new the treaty. Cause if we were at war…." She opened her door and walked in. "You'd be the first one I'd go after." She winked at him as she closed the door.
"Kankuro…you better watch out for Sakura man…she'll really kick your ass if you make her mad enough." Naruto said waving good-bye then walking in to his room.
Kankuro stud there for a moment
I wonder how strong she has gotten since then?
He was smiling as he walked down the hall.
….
….
Sakura pulled her backpack off and set it on her bed. The room was medium size. It had a bed, closet, a table, two chairs, And a small table with a lamp on it.
She walked over to it and switched it on. Then grabbed her backpack and walked over to the table and pulled out her pencil and sketchpad. She had started to draw since Sai died.
Flipping threw it she came to the next blank page. Taking her pencil in her hand she begain to draw. At first it was just a random person but then she mad his jagged hair that was spiky yet strait at the same time.
Then she angled his face as she remembered it had been. His eyes were difficult. More like child's eyes big. Then she added his puppet. It's long tail coiling around him like a snake. She even added his chakura strings that connected to it. Next was his body but she didn't want puppet form so she just drew him in his dark robe with red clouds. It cling to his body.
Finale she started to shade it. His hair then the puppet. When she finished shading it something looked off, but she saw what it was.
It needs a name…She thought to her self. She had given her other sketch names. So why not this one?
"What was his name?" She thought out loud. Rubbing her eyes she tried to remember.
Sasori? Was that it?
Yes Sasori that was it. Sakura wrote the name in small letters at the bottom of the page. Right below his foot. She closed up the book and sat it on the table. Pushing back from it she walked over to the bed and laid down.
Man what a day. I can't believe how much Gaara and Kankuro changed.
Sakura closed her eyes. She tried not to fall asleep but it washed over her like tsunami.
….
….
Kakashi had lain down on the bed and was reading his book. He had just turned a page when there was a knock on his door.
Dam it. He said to him self as he walked over to the door and opened it. Naruto and Shikamaru stood at the door.
"What do you two want?" Kakashi asked still holding his book.
"Kakashi hey…we were going to go out. You know to a bar or something and we thought you'd might want to go?" Naruto was leaning up ageist the doorframe.
"Do you guys even know where there's a bar in this place?" Kakashi asked raising eyebrow.
"Well no but we figured that we would walk around till we found one." Naruto said.
Kakashi rubbed his chin. "Yea I'll go." He said walking out and stuffing the book in his pocket. He stopped by Shikamaru.
"Are you going to get Sakura?" Kakashi asked pointing to her door. Naruto shook his head then walked over to her door.
"Sakura? Hey sakura…" Naruto didn't bother knocking he twisted the knob and walked in.
"Idiot you can't just walk in." Shikamaru said but it was too late Naruto was already in the room. Kakashi walked in after him fallowed by Shikamaru.
Naruto saw that Sakura was asleep on the bed. And looked back at Kakashi and Shikamaru not sure if he should wake her up. But they nodded for him to go forward so he walked up to the side of the bed and shook her shoulder.
"Hey….Sakura…Sakura wake up." He shook her a few more times then turned back to them.
"She's not waking up?" Naruto said as Shikamaru and Kakashi walked over but before they got to the bed Kakashi noticed the drawing book on the table.
"She draws?" Kakashi asked walking over and picking it up.
He showed it to Naruto and Shikamaru.
"Wow theses aren't bad." Naruto said pointing at one of a little girl running with a dog down the street.
"I like this one." Shikamaru said flipping it to a pitcher of an apple lying on the ground.
"Is that Sai?" Kakashi asked stopping at a pitcher with a man sitting next to a stream. He had glasses and was reading a book. But that wasn't the thing that caught Kakashi's eye. It was that there was a hand lying in his lap. He could tell it was a hand of a woman, but who?
"Yea it is…" Sakura said from behind them. Naruto and the others hadn't notices her get up from the bed and walk over to them.
"Sakura…theses are really good." Naruto said a little embarrassed that they had gotten caught.
"Sai taught me before he died." Sakura said taking the book away from them. "But I don't like people looking at them." She put the book back in her backpack.
"So why are you guys in my room?" She asked looking back up at them.
"Oh yea….Um we wanted to know if you wanted to come with us to find a bar." Naruto said.
Sakura shook her head. "No I don't feel like drinking tonight. But you guys can still go." She said.
"O.k" Shikamaru said and walked to the door. Along with Kakashi and Naruto.
"Are you sure Sakura?" Kakashi asked her looking back into the room. "Your feeling o.k. Right?"
"Yea I'm fine I just want to get some sleep." She walked over to the door and waved good-bye then shut it. She then walked over to her backpack and took out her drawing pad and flipped to the pitcher of Sai.
She thought this was her best pitcher of him. The shading on his face was perfect. But seeing the pitcher brought back painful memories of the night he died. So she put the book back and walked to the door.
Maybe I should have gone with them? She thought to herself as she opened the door. Her room had just become a little stuffy and she wanted some air. So she walked down to the front of the building then jumped to the roof.
She sat there for a long time just thinking about what had happened to make her life so complicated. But she was pushed out of her thoughts by a soft cough.
Sakura whipped around a little startled to find Gaara behind her.
"Oh Gaara-chan you startled me." She said looking up at him. Gaara walked over to stand beside where she was sitting.
"My apologies." He said then turned to look out at the city. He didn't talk again until Sakura asked him a question.
"How was you meeting?" She asked not looking at him.
"Good. It finished about an hour ago. And I was just coming up here to think." He answered.
"Oh sorry I can go…" She started to push herself up but a hand on her shoulder stopped her.
"No it's fine I don't mind the company." He said still not looking at her. Sakura wasn't looking at his face but at his hand that he had left on her shoulder.
"You see that building over there?" He said lifting his hand from her shoulder to point at it. Sakura moved over to get a better view of the one he was talking about.
It was made of all glass and Sakura remembered it to be their medical plant house. But she played along and said
"Yea what is it?" She raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled and looked down at her.
"Its are green house. I thought you would like to use it. You might be here for a wile and I thought it would keep your mind off the heat." He saw the little drops of sweet running down her face.
"Yea. How do you stand it here? I would die in this heat if I had to live here." She said then laid her head down on the railing hoping it was a little could.
"I don't know…..I guess I was just born used to it, I never really paid attention to it." Gaara placed a hand on Sakura's cheek and smiled.
"Its funny to see some one so effected by it." He smiled again then took his hand away.
Sakura stud there a little dumb struck. But she quickly snapped out of it and turned back to the city. And after a moment she jumped up on to the railing then turned to Gaara.
"Well I see you latter Gaara-chan." He waved then she jumped down on to the second floor landing and walked to her room.
She was about to open the door when she felt someone looking at her. Turning to her left her eyes landed on Kankuro's black close.
"Oh it's you." He said leaning up on the wall.
"Gee thanks that made me feel wanted." Sakura said pushing the door open. But when she went to walk in Kankuro stopped her.
"Do you know where Naruto is?" He asked looking at her.
She raised an eyebrow at him then walked into her room leaving the door open so he could hear her.
"Why should I tell you? All you've done since I got here was make fun of me." She walked over to the table and undid her pouch from her hip. Kankuro moved to lean on the doorframe of her room.
"Look I'm sorry. I just want to know where he is ok?" he said.
She looked at him over her shoulder (cuz her back was to him) then wile pulling off her shirt (bra and all) answered him.
"Him Shikamaru and Kakashi went to find a bar." She walked to her bag still not facing him and pulled out a big shirt. Then slipped it on.
Kankuro had to grab his nose to stop it from bleeding.
God…that was a little much? He thought to himself. But secretly he wished she had facing him. Sakura turned around and looked as if nothing happened.
" But knowing them there most likely still wondering the streets looking for one." She grabbed her backpack and sat down on the bed.
"Can you tell him I am looking for him when they get back?" he asked.
Sakura looked up. "Ask him your self." He thought she was being smart but then he heard Naruto's voice coming up the stairs. He wondered if she had sensed him from all the way over there, But when he looked back at her she just winked and started to draw something in a book.
"Hey Kankuro what yea doing?" Naruto asked walking up with Kakashi and Shikamaru.
"Looking for you." He answered but Naruto pushed past him and walked into Sakura's room along with Kakashi and Shikamaru. Making Sakura look up at them.
"Excuse me but what do you think your doing? This is my room." She was sitting Indian style with her note pad in her lap.
"Sakura what are you wearing?" Naruto asked looking her up in down. She was in her big t-shirt witch came down to her mid thigh. And she had slipped out of her skirt and only had her black shorts on under it.
"My pajamas…you know the thing you sleep in." She shifted her leg then went back to drawing.
"It's a little….." Kakashi couldn't find the words to finish his sentence.
Sakura looked up. "A little….What?" She raised an eyebrow. She had thought that her pajamas were fine but maybe she didn't notice something.
"Sexy!" Naruto said laughing. Making Sakura shake her head and ball her hand into a fist.
"Idiot…what the hell do you guys want?" She asked rolling her eyes a little.
"Nothing we just saw Kankuro standing here and thought we should come over and investigate." Naruto said.
"Well now that you've seen that I'm alright can you go?" She asked wile lying down on her bed.
Kakashi had to wipe the drool from his face. Sakura's shirt had ridden up her leg and now showed off a good part of her thigh. Sakura looked up to see them all starring at her.
"Ok that's it." She got up and stud by her bed. "If all of you aren't put of here by the count of three, I'm going to hit you so fucking hard you'll get a bonner." Sakura stud with her hand on her hip then started to count.
"One!"
Shikamaru and Kakashi started to walk to the door.
"Two!"
Kankuro pulled himself out of the door way and stud in the hallway.
"Three!" Sakura sent a bone crushing punch right into Naruto's skull. He flew out of the room and landed on his head right beside Kankuro.
"Son of a bitch!…..What the hell Sakura….you have anger problems!" Naruto yell holding his head in his hands.
"I gave you plenty of time to get out." She said walking to the door to close it. But stopped and looked past Naruto. A man was standing on top of the building right across from them.
He wore a mask but his dark red spiky hair moved in the slight breeze.
"Who the hell is that?" Sakura asked and pointed to the man. They all turned to look.
"Kankuro…..is that a sand village ninja?" Sakura asked a little hesitant.
"No…it isn't." He said. But right then the man threw a knife so hit right in between Kankuro and Naruto. When they looked up he was gone.
"Look there's a note attached." Naruto said picking up the knife and plucking off a little peace of paper.
"Cherry blossoms don't grow in sand." Naruto read aloud then looked up at Kakashi. But Kakashi was looking over to Sakura, as was Kankuro and Shikamaru.
"You don't think that that note was talking about me do you?" Sakura asked looking at Kakashi. But she already knew the answer to her question.
"Gaara needs to see this." Kankuro said pointing to the note. They nodded and waited for Sakura to get dressed.
She ran in and slipped into her skirt and pulled back on her shirt from today. Also before she walked out she grabbed her sketchbook from off the bed.
…
…
…
…
Gaara had been in a meeting so when they got to his office the guard told them to wait inside, so they did. Sakura sat in the chair under the window. Kakashi stud up ageist the wall by the door. Naruto and Kankuro sat in the chairs facing Gaara's desk. And Shikamaru stud leaning on the bookcase.
Sakura pulled out her book and balanced it on her knees then she begain to sketch the man she had seen. Kakashi heard her drawing and came over to watch.
About ten minutes latter Sakura had draw an exact replica of the seen that happened earlier.
"Uh….." Kakashi said under his breath. Making Sakura turn around.
"What is it not good?" She looked back down at the page.
"No no it looks vary good, but can you turn back I your book." Kakashi watched as she flipped the pages over one by one.
"Stop!" Kakashi said suddenly once she got to a particular pitcher. He reached down and flipped the book back to the pitcher that she had just drawn the flipped back in forth between the two.
"There the same person." Sakura said I a harsh whisper. He body started to shake and her muscles tensed. She felt a cold sweat starting to form on her brow.
"Sasori…..Kakashi….I saw him die. I wasn't two feet away." She looked up into his deep drown eyes. And saw something that she had never seen in them before. She could tell that he was worried about something. She reached up and placed a hand on his.
"Kakashi there's no way it was him. I'm telling you he's dead. And besides if that was him where was his puppet? He wouldn't dare come to sand without one of his puppets." Sakura smiled as she flipped between the two pages again.
But I do have to admit they have a big resemblance to each other. Sakura thought as she closed her notebook and looked over to Kankuro who was talking to Naruto quietly.
If that is Sasori Kankuro will want to know first thing, But I don't think that will be a good idea. If he goes off looking for a fight and scares the masked man away we'll never find out who he is.
Sakura agreed with her self not to tell Kankuro. But if Kakashi bought it up she wouldn't be able to stop him. She pressed her lips together and blew out air. She didn't know how a simple mission to sand had become so troublesome.
…
…
…
…
Sakura flopped down on her bed. She was tired from all the talking. Gaara had made them wait there for another hour but when he came in they told him about the man and they all debated whether to bring in other sand ninja. They decided not to cause any worry and keep it a secret. And luckily Kakashi hadn't said anything about the drawings resemblance. But he did say that Sakura shouldn't stay alone. And of course Gaara had to choose her least favorite of the bunch. Kankuro.
Sakura looked over at him as he walked in the room. She rolled her eyes and side then sat up.
"I don't need any one to look after me." She said walking over and picking up the same big T-shirt from earlier. Kankuro turned away from her.
"Yea I'm not thrilled about it either ok?" He said peeking over his shoulder to see if she was done yet. But instead of seeing her in bed she saw a nice flash of her perfect butt. He snapped his head around and could feel a little blush come out on his cheeks.
"What ever…I'm going to bed. And don't you dare think you can sleep in the bed." She said looking over at him.
"What? Do you think I'm going to sleep on the floor?" He asked.
Sakura sat up and grabbed a knife from the side table. "I could always make the sleeping part permanent." She said with a raised eyebrow.
"Fine!" He said grabbing a chair and sitting down.
….
….
Sakura could hear him shuffling around. It had woken her up and now Kankuro's constant noise made her eye twitch with anger. So she sat up a flicked on the lap. When she had gotten used to the light she say that his head was bent 90 degrees to the side. His eye flicked open when he saw the light.
"What?" He said moving his head up, but when he did Sakura heard a loud pop and he grabbed at it. She laughed then motioned for him to come over. He got up and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Hold still." Sakura said as she got to her knees and put her hands on his neck. Green chakura formed around them and soon after Kankuro rotated his head to find the pain was gone. Sakura moved to the other side of the bed.
"You can sleep here. But only because I don't want Gaara made at me if his brother has a spine condition in a few years." She rolled over to her side but she was still facing him.
"Thanks." He said then slid his feet under the covers but before he laid down he peeled off his shirt. Sakura could feel her mouth start water but quickly got it under control. She looked at a scar that stretched from his lower side to his upper chest.
"What happened there?" She said reaching out and putting her hand on the middle of the scar. Kankuro jumped a little at her touch then looked down at his scar.
"Oh that, it was from a mission to the mist village. I got a sword right to the chest." He smiled then looked back down at the scar witch Sakura still hadn't taken her hand from. She ran her hand up and down it.
"Wha…" Kankuro began to ask but sakura put her finger to his lips. Then with lighting speed she had swung her leg over him and was now sitting on his chest. She bent down and ran her tong over his lips. Then reached her hand up and traced a lazy finger down his jawbone.
Kankuro ran his hands up her thighs and squeezed her butt. Then grabbed her waist and tossed her over so now he was on top of her. He had pinned her hands down above her. And now sent his tong in and out of her mouth.
Sakura grinded her hips upward and into him. She did it over and over until he put a little wait on her.
"Stop that!" He growled into her ear. Sakura smiled then grinded into him again.
"Or what?" She asked him. He answered by reaching down to the buckle on his pants and undoing them. Then in a swift move he took them and his boxers off. Also he had torn off Sakura underwear and throne them into the floor. He looked down at her. Her face was pale and her pink hair fell over into her eyes.
