~Sakura's POV~
When I walked away from my teammates I headed to the training grounds. When I got there I sat down under a tree cross legged, and closed my eyes.
When I reopened my eyes I wasn't at the training grounds anymore, instead I was in a room that was pitch black and the only light was a spotlight that shined down on a women that was sitting in a floating opened cage.
The women had very long pink hair and black eyes. Her hair was the only thing that covered her fully grown female body from my eyes.
I watched as her lips pulled into a smile, and her black eye looked at me with a knowing look.
"Sakura what on earth are you doing in here, not that I don't mind..it's just I didn't expect you to come in here and talk to me face to face"
Inner said, sliding out of the opened cage door and landing gracefully on her tip toes with her right foot in front of her left. When she did that I felt and saw the darkness under us ripple; almost like it was water.
"Inner...what did you mean by 'mate' when I first saw Gaara, also why is it my heart races every time I lock eyes with him?"
I asked getting right to the point, after all I couldn't stay meditating out in the real world all day.
"Simple you're in love."
She said smiling, even as I glared at her.
"No way I don't even know the guy."
"We'll hun, ever heard of love at first sight?"
Inner said, placing a hand on her hip.
"Pfft, whatever..and the 'mate' thing, last I checked humans don't have mates so what the hell were you talking about?"
I said, and inner just gave me a smirk.
"Of course humans have mates...though you all call the soulmates, I'm sorry if how I said it was confusing for you, I just thought you would have known this."
She said shrugging and I hmped.
"Soulmates aren't real."
"Yes they are hun, and Gaara's your soul mate."
Inner said and I pouted some more.
"Well...if he's my soul mate how'd you know about it before me...you told me yourself that we're two different entities; therefore we don't share is soul."
Inner just smiled.
"You're right, we don't our souls are two different things...but that doesn't mean I can't read your soul from in here, so yeah I new Gaara was your mate before you knew, because your Soul knew the first time you locked eyes."
Inner said with a dreamy sigh, and I rolled my eyes.
"Oh don't roll your eyes at me, you know it's romantic finding each other again in another life after the fates have went and sewn your souls together with that lovely red string of fate."
Inner said way to dramatically. I just shook my head and closed my eyes only this time when I reopened them I was back to the real world.
"Kami she annoys me."
I mumbled, and I head Inner laugh and say I loved her, which made me roll my eyes as I stood up and stretched. After I was done stretching, I started to walk off but stopped halfway through the training grounds when I noticed a certain redhead that I was just talking to Inner about, sitting under a tree meditating. I kinda stood there watching him as my heart beat faster.
'This is insane….I don't even know the guy….I should leave, leave and not even bother with the guy..'
I thought, but I was still just standing there like the fucking idiot I was being right now. Then to make matters worse, his eyes opened and he stared right into my eyes.
"You're the girl that was with the Uchiha and the blonde headed boy."
He said still looking into my eyes.
"I have a name you know!"
I said said frowning some, and Gaara just looked at me, with an amused smirk.
"And that would be?"
"S-Sakura Haruno."
I said kinda nervously, though I never broke eye contact.
'Damn it Sakura get a hold of yourself!'
I though and I could faintly hear Inner laughing at me.
'You know you're not helping Inner.'
'Oh I'm supposed to be helping instead of just sitting back and watching this train wreck.'
She said laughing, and I clenched my jaw some, and just kinda slammed a mental door shut on her, so I couldn't hear her. When I came back to reality Gaara was right in my face, and I squeaked a little.
"Wh-what are you-"
"You're eyes changed color."
He said cutting me off, and I blinked some kinda confused.
"What?"
"From Green to Black."
He stated, with what sounded like curiosity.
"Uh.."
I didn't know what to say to that, and he just narrowed his eyes at me.
"What were you doing to make them change?"
He demanded kinda dangerously and I just glared at him.
"Like I know, all I was doing was thinking"
I hissed. Honestly who the hell does he think he is demanding stuff from me. He doesn't even fucking know me.
Gaaras eyes glared right back at me apparently not liking what said or not lI king the way I said it. When he started to glare at me I just glared right back, if he was really my 'mate' like Inner said then he should learn I won't get pushed around by anyone anymore.
As we continued to glare at each other when I felt something start going up one of my legs, and I had a funny feeling it was that stupid sand he had uses back in the alley. Anyway I didn't look away from him not even when the sand stop at my knee. When the sand stopped Gaara sent me one last glare before his disappeared in a whirl of sand, leaving me all alone here in the training ground still kinda mad.
