Thank you for the reviews :D

here's he next chapter..KAPAAAMM!

Recap:"Gaara's here!..well..he's..unconsious right now..but I bet he'll be happy to see you"Naruto said hugging Sakura.She was frozen and Hinata could just slap Naruto but she refrained,"I got to see Sasuke-later you two"he left.

"He's...back?"


"He'll wake in a few days I believe."Sasuke said to Naruto who just came into the room,"that is what you were going to ask-right?"he said raising his gaze to the blond.

"You're creepy when you mind read..but yes!"Naruto said,Sasuke rolled his eyes.The blond stood next to a sleeping Gaara,"wonder who did this to him.."

Sasuke was not paying attention,instead he stared intensely at the silver ring that was on Gaara's finger.Sasuke had a small frown on his face and he clenched his hands into fists.

"A dead man did.."Both Naruto and Sasuke stared at Gaara as he spoke,"atleast I hope he's really dead."

"GAARA?!"Naruto shouted.

"You shouldn't be awake?!"Sasuke grabbed a clipboard on a small stand next to Gaara's bed,he read it over and over.

"Okay Uchiha,let me lay still and play dead then"Gaara said opening his eyes glaring at him.

"You're the same as usual!sarcastic and insulting!"Naruto said grinning,feeling excited that he was awake.

"And so are you!overly cheery and annoying!"Gaara said with a exaggerating smile.Naruto's smile fell and then it turned to a bigger grin,he lunged himself towards Gaara to give him a hug.

"THAT'S the Gaara I know!"He let go of Gaara who was muttering curses,"oh right-your wounds...sorry."

"Gaara?"All three men stopped talking and turned to the door,a pink haired woman stod there,"it..is..-"she paused and held back a sob as she noticed the silver ring she gave him,ten years ago, still on his finger.

Gaara stared at her neck,she still wore the necklace but that wasn't the only necklace she wore.She also had a silver chain with an emerald the shape of a heart,"..who..gave you that."he said glaring at it.

"What-"

"The necklace..who-"

"I did"Sasuke said placing the clipboard on a chair next to Gaara.He placed his hands into pockets of his white coat.

Sakura and Gaara just stared at each other,oh how he wanted to take her into his arms,and how she wished that too.Both yearning for each other-but couldn't not do anything for there was people present..

"Why is Sakura not my doctor.."Gaara asked forgetting the whole necklace issue.Sasuke stiffened and he looked at the pink haired woman.

"Because I am..and I won't-..can't change that.."Sasuke cleared his throat,"excuse me"he said as he walked out of the room.

"I should go too.."Naruto said smirking.Sakura still stood by the door just staring at Gaara in amazement.

"Are you just..going to stand there.."Gaara asked,his cheeks tinted themselves pink and Sakura smiled.

"You..you show-"

"Yes..I show emotion now"Gaara said with a slight smirk,already expecting this..

Despite the fact that Gaara had left her,she was so happy he was back-wait a minute.Her smile faded-she couldn't kiss him like she wanted,she couldn't run her hands through his hair like she wanted,she couldn't do anything because she is,"..with..Sasuke.."

"What about Sasuke?"Gaara said confused.Sakura stood up straight and had her hands at her side.

"I'm..with him"she mutttered and now it was Gaara's turn to be quiet.

"No..you cannot..because...we-"

"You..left me,remember?"Sakura said trying not to sound hurt but failed miserably.Gaara cleared his throat and then stared at his hand,the silver ring glinting in the light.

"I did not want to..and we both know that.."he said looking at her directly in the eyes now.Sakura crossed her arms and stared at him.

"I can't just break up with him..Sasuke..was there for me..and I..I-"

"Don't...you dare say it..because you know you don't mean it-..now that you've seen me"Gaara said in a 'matter of fact' tone.Sakura now glared at him.

Wow,he's right.No he's not..I do love Sasuke.Now who are you tring to convince?Sakura stopped mentally battling her self,"It doesn't matter..because once you're better..you'll just leave again,I know it",and with that said Sakura left the room not wanting to hear his response.


"She still loves him,doesn't she?"Sasuke asked Naruto as the elevator doors opened and they were on the first floor again.

Naruto was quiet but looked at Sasuke,"Do you want the truth..or a lie"Sasuke clenched his jaw.

"I want her to forget about him..he hurt her..I would never do such a thing-"

"Unless she'd ask for it"Naruto said with a smirk as Sasuke turned pink.

"Shut up...dork"

"Ooh nice comeback,seriously..you two should just get a regular room..not vacant rooms in the hospital..my last patient is still a bit traumatized after seeing what happened in her new room."

"We didn't know anyone was going to be in there!"Sasuke was now red with embarassment as he ran a hand through his hair.

"For goodness sakes Sasuke!she was eleven!"Naruto now said shaking his finger at him,Sasuke slapped his own forehead.

"Are you two acting like teenagers...AGAIN,"both males turned and saw..


Sakura stood in the elevator thinking about Gaara,she shook her head slightly,"..why'd he come back.."oh how she said that,but she did'nt mean it at all,she was glad...yet..

The doors opened and she was on the first floor,as she stepped out she felt the stares of people,Well,I guess they know..she thought displeased.Standing straight,she walked to her office,today wasn't that bad-not a lot of injured people..

Quitely walking down the hall she stopped infornt of a door that had her name on it,as she opened the door she was surpised to see someone in her office-someone she didn't expect..


"He started it"Sasuke stated,but felt childish after doing so.

Kakashi shook his hand and a smile was visible under the mask,"I heard he's back.."

"You heard correctly!"Naruto said with his infamous grin.

Kakashi and Sasuke stared at him in silence,amazed that anyone can be that happy hearing Gaara came back.

"Naruto.."Kakasho said narrowing his eyes at the blond,"are you on drugs?...you're too happy.."

Naruto's smile fell and was replaced with a scowl.

"Maybe.."Sasuke went on,"just maybe..you just joined the medical business to have access to drugs!"Sasuke said with a smile at Naruto's reaction.

"You two can kiss my-"

"Naruto!"Hinata came running to him,"we have a problem!a..big..problem.."she said looking at Sasuke and Kakashi.

"What is it Hinata?!"Naruto said placing a hand on her shouder.

His touch made her turn pink,but at this moment it didn't matter,"a patient is missing!"

"...missing?!"


"For your personality-I think this office is rather simple..too white,actually.."Gaara said as he was sitting in Sakura's chair.

Sakura had many thoughts run throught her mind,but the one she asked herself more escaped from her lips,"How in the hell did you get down here before I did?!"

"I'm the Kazekage..what can't I do?"he said with a proud smirk on his face,he opened a drawer from Sakura's ebony desk-

"NO WAIT! not-"too late,Gaara took the contents from the drawer and placed them on the desk.

Gaara revised the items over and over ,he had a sad look on his face,"..."he rose his gaze to Sakura and saw her with her hands covering her face,"..Sakura..why.."


"I know where he is.."Sasuke said as he ran down the hall to her office.

"Wait!why do you run so fast!"Naruto said going after him,"Sasuke!"yet Naruto stopped in his tracks when Sasuke entered the room and was frozen on the spot,"Sasuke?"

Sasuke felt that all the love he gave-meant absolutely nothing to her,there she stood,in his embrace with his lips over hers in such a passionate manner he couldn't turn away from the scene.He felt like his heart slowed down,the color go away from his face,and hate.Oh he felt hate,so much he just knew his eyes were tinted red this time..

Sakura pulled away from Gaara and slapped him across the face,tears flowing down her cheeks,"How..dare you"she whispered to him.

Gaara placed a hand over his cheek,but quickly looked over at Sasuke,Sakura turned to look at him also.

"Sasuke.."Sakura muttered,she took a step back from Gaara and walked towards Sasuke,"it's not what-"

"Sakura"Sasuke hissed through his teeth,"don't bother to explain.."he said coldly looking at her,he shifted his gaze to Gaara,then walked out of the door.

Naruto was leaning against the wall next to Sakura's door,he shook hs head lighty as Sasuke walked out in such a manner..

"Why'd you kiss me!"he heard Sakura shout at Gaara.


"..why didn't you send these to me?"Gaara asked loking at all the letters-that were meant for him,all those letters contained such emotion he couldn't handle it..

"I thought..you forgot about me.."Sakura said feeling somewhat embarrased.

"I would never..will never..forget about you Sakura..I love you.."Gaara commanded his sand so it could help him walk to her,he didn't need crutches.Sadly since one of his arms was broken he couldn't hug her,but he still stood infront of her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Gaara..please.."Sakura said closing her eyes,"don't confused me more."

"I won't..and you don't need to be,"He said looking into her eyes as they began to form pools of water,"..you need me,not that pathetic Uchiha"he said and collided his lips agaisnt hers.

Sakura reacted for a moment,she wrapped her arms around him-but then she tought of what he had said..pathetic Uchiha?!Sasuke is the only one who helped me when I was feeling down!He's helped me a lot and he loves me!he isn't pathetic!he's-he's-absolutely wonderful?

They both heard the door open..


Me:Gah!why couldn't you wait Gaara!

Gaara:...hormones..?

Me:..I see...well!thank you for the reviews!and don't forget to do so :D
