Hey, this is years later when Kankuro's puppets are destroyed and he is badly poisoned.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His eyes started slowly to open, and everything he saw was a big blur. He could see colors but never has he not been able to see when shapes ended. A sudden burst of fear came over him with his last memory of being poisoned. He grunted as he sat up and swung his arms wildly to ward away anything that might be near him. Something grabed his wrist as he swung,

"Hey, you need to settle down and rest, I promise your safe."

This voice was very comforting and he knew it, but didn't know who it was. A hand gentlely pushed his chest to make him lay back down on the table. He was so weak at this point even the lightest push would over power him.

"I can't see, who is this?" he asked almost demandingly.

"It's ok I'm Sakura, one of Naruto's teammates.

"You got messed up pretty bad, accually I just recently got the last of the poison out of you."

He couldn't believe that the girl that he hasn't said more than two words to has saved his life twice, and she was here with him. He felt as if nothing could bad happen as he drifted off to a much needed slumber. When he finally reawoke Gaara, Temari, and Sakura were standing around talking about different things.

"Oh, hey he's wakeing up," Temari stated as she saw his eyes start to open. He groaned and his bones creaked and poped as he sat up.

"Hey, lay down. You don't need to move right now." Sakura advised.

"I'll do as I please." Kankuro replied as he proped his back against the wall.

"You were always stupid," his sister snaped.

"Well, at least I got the looks in the family," he smirked as he saw his sister get almost blind with fury. Gaara turned towards the door,

"Temari, we're leaving. Now!" Gaara said while walking out of the door, and Temari followed. Now Kankuro and Sakura were alone in the room, he could tell that Gaara and Temari found out about his crush at some point and left early on purpose.

"So are you feeling any better?" she said trying to start a conversation.

"Eh...I've been worse," He was lieing and she could tell.

"Well, I have wanted to see you again, just not in this situation." Slightly blushing when she spoke.

"Yeah well I owe you for saving my life."

"No, a long time ago you had saved mine. The day you killed that grass nin and I threw the kunai at you."

"Oh , yeah I kinda remember that." Which was anouther lie and he though about that night every day.
