Chapter Two
I stared at Gaara. I saw a short wave of sadness melt into his eyes but it quickly faded away.
"Why did you ask me those questions...?" I asked softly.
"Because, I was wondering what you thought of me. I thought that if I asked you and if you knew who I was that you wouldnt answer me..." Another short wave of sadness melted in his eyes but dissapeared as fast as it came.
"But..why..?" I whispered, My voice hiding behind the voices of the crowd in Starbucks.
Gaara looked around franticly and stood up. He gently grabbed my hand and lead me out of Starbucks. He jogged to Temari's car dragging me behind him. Soon he opened up the driver's seat and picked me up off the ground and sat me in the passengers seat. I blinked and looked at him as he started the car.
"Where are we going?" I asked, wondering where Temari ran off to.
"They're here." He spoke in a grave voice.
"Who's here?"
"Bad people" He stated.
"I figured that much out already..." I spat at him making it sound more saracastic then intended.
He drove off, not persuing the argument. He drove down the street and pulled into a empty parking lot of a closed down resturant. He cut off the engine and sat in complete silence. I stared at his eyes, unable to tear myself away from his wandering gaze. Fear was carved into his eyes. Suddently I felt a twinge of guilt in the pit of my stomach. Even if I did know what was going on, I couldnt help him. Im no use to him. I felt a wave of sadness pass through my face.
Gaara looked at me with an confused expression. "Whats wrong Sakura?" He asked softly as if he were talking to a scared child. I bet thats what I looked like at this moment.
I felt like crying, I felt like pouring my heart out to him. I felt helpless, But most of all I felt useless. The feeling of guilt overwhelmed me and I knew I was on the berdge of bursting out in tears. But I had to be strong. I refuse to let him see me like this. I turned my head away from him and felt a soft whimper escape from my throat. I stared out my window as I felt the tears break through my eyes, smearing my black makeup down my pale, hurt face. Gaara stared at me and lifted up the arm rest that divided the two seats. he gently wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his lap. He gently placed a hand on the back of my head as I cried softly into his warm chest. He gently stroked my hair and hummed a soft unfamilar but soothing tune. He kissed my forehead.
"Its going to be okay Sakura..I promise." He swore in a whisper into my ear. I looked up at him to be suprised by the expression painted on his angelic face. His perfect pale features were twisted in angst, sadness, and sympathy all in one. When he realized that I was curiously staring at him, his face softened back into the pale angelic face from before. He gazed into my empty eyes with his hard emotionless eyes and then they started to soften. He stopped stroking my hair and gently pressed the palm of his hand against the back of my head. He brought his face down to mine, kissing my lips passionately. I felt my face turn red as I kissed him back. He licked my bottom lip softly, keeping his lips pressed up against mine for what seemed like forever. Soon he let his hand drop from the back of my head and pulled away. I looked at him and noticed my black lipstick rubbed off onto his pale lips. I blushed furiously and looked down.
He leaned back into the seat and glanced at me. I noticed that his face was turning slighlty pink. "Im sorry.." He said, staring out the window.
"Its fine.." I mumbled, looking down at my feet. 'Kiss him again..' my other side said into my head. 'You have nothing to loose.' 'i have tons to loose.' I argued with myself. After a vicious argument with myself I sighed, giving up. I glanced up at Gaara and stared at him for a second. I gulped softly and gently put a hand on the side of his pale face. His skin felt like fire against my ice cold hands. He looked at me as I gently pulled his face down to mine and kissed him passionately, drinking him, trying to consume him. It was as if I was going to loose him forever. Even though I havent known him that long, I felt connected with him. I felt like I could actually trust him.
He returned the kiss back and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me into him. His tongue licked my lips, begging for more. It was then that I had to pull away to catch my breath. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he gazed into my eyes. I pulled away from his arm around my waist and leaned back into the passengers seat. Gaara sighed.
"I better get you home.." He mumbled as he started the engine. He drove to my house as I gave him the directions. When he pulled into my driveway he kissed me softly on the lips. I got out and shut the door and started walking up to my porch when I realized that we forgot Temari...
The Next morning;;
"SAKURA!! WHAT IN THE HELL?!" Was the first thing I heard when I entered my first period class, Gym. I looked up at Temari with a zombie like glare as she ran to me. "YOU AND GAARA DITCHED ME!" she accused.
"Thats your fault." I put simply. She stared at me as I brushed past her and into the locker room with my gym bag. I changed from my short black long sleeve dress and black and white leggings to short black shorts and a black T-Shirt. I stuffed my clothes in my bag and jogged out onto the gym floor. I sat on the bottom row of bleachers as Gai Sensei took attendance.
"Okay Ladies. Laps!" He boomed as he blew in his whistle. I got up lazily and started running around the gym with the other girls. Temari ran beside me at the same jogging pace. I yawned. It was too early in the morning to do this.
"Hey, Saku-Chan?" Temari looked at me as we slowed to a walk when Gai Sensei blew on his whistle again.
"What?"
"What exactly did you and Gaara do anyways?" She questioned, eyeing me for answers.
Gai Sensei blew his whistle and we went back to our jogging pace. I looked back behind us at all the girls that seemed to never be able to pass us. "Nothing" I stated simply, lying through my teeth. Temari sighed. I guess she knew she wasnt going to win this fight.
After a good game of dodgeball I went into the locker rooms to change back into my clothes. I grabbed my gym bag and hid in one of the restroom stalls in the girls locker room. I always had a problem with changing infront of people. I slipped off my shirt and shorts as a group of girls bombared into the locker rooms, filling the air with rumors and gossip. I felt like I was going to be sick. I slipped into my black dress and leggings. I started to put on my converse when I heard Ten-Ten say my name.
"Haruno is such a whore." She said with a giggle. I put on my converse, ignoring her comment. It was common enough not to phase me. I put on my necklace which was a small silver chain with a fake metal silver razor blade hanging off of it.
"Sakura isnt a whore.." I heard Hinata whisper softly. Atleast she was attempting to defend me, even though no one listened to her. I threw open the stall's door and walked out of the locker room, brushing past the group of girls, staring at me and giggling.
"Hey Haruno. Why do you go screw Gaara after class?" Ten-Ten said with a laugh. I stopped in my tracks and glared back over at her. "What? Are you going to cast a spell on me?" She asked while laughing, making the other girls laugh expect Hinata. I turned around and sighed.
"Your a waste of my fucking time and breath. Get a life and get over yourself." I spoke in a calm voice. I turned back around and started to walk out of the room as Ten-Ten grabbed a hold of one of my long pig tails.
"What did you say to me bitch?!" She yelled in fury. I guess I must of hit a nerve. I jerked away from her grip and elbowed her in the stomach, right above her ribcage. She backed up and coughed up what was left of her breath. She grabbed my hair and threw me up against the wall in pure fury as the other girls crowded around us, rooting Ten-Ten on. I brought my right leg up and kicked her in the lower stomach, making her let me go. I stared at her when out of nowhere someone grabbed a hold of one of my silver hoop earrings that rested at the bottom of my ear. She jerked it out and I looked at her. I saw the blood pouring from my ear hit the ground in angry droplets. I felt it run down my neck as I looked down at the pool of blood forming under me. I glanced up at the girl as I felt the room around me spin. I ran out of the locker room as the blood continued to run down my neck. I ran past Temari and ran out of the gym into a crowd of people.
"Sakura!" I heard Temari yell from behind me. Everything started to get dark as I felt my body hit the cold ground, blood still trickling down my neck and into my hair. I felt a hand on my shoulder shaking me. "Sakura wake up!" I heard Temari speak ergently. "Wake up." She repeated.
