Blast from the Past!!!
SEQUEL of 'Revenge is a Blast'! Must read it before this!!)
The three just stood there in complete silence for a couple minutes. Gaara stepped aside letting the two into the house.
Naruto and Neji sat on the couch still both silent. Gaara stood in front of it his arms crossed. "So there was nothing left?" Gaara looked at the two.
Neji shook his head, "Nothing only rubble and debris,"
Naruto's hands formed into fists, "I lost two of my most precious people" Naruto let some tears fall from his eyes. "I just wish I could see Hinata and Sakura one more time"
Gaara's attention snapped to Naruto, "Sakura, she's here, she's alive"
Both Neji and Naruto looked up at him disbelieving. "Come on she's upstairs" Gaara said as he headed up the stairs. Naruto and Neji followed close behind and Gaara got to his door and opened it.
They all walked in to see Sakura asleep on her side of the bed. Gaara turned to Neji and Naruto to say something but saw a suspicious look on their faces.
"Oh wait, this isn't what you think" Gaara began. "You see she just,"
"SAKURA-CHAN!!" Naruto ran happily over and jumped on the bed and hugging the awakening Sakura. Sakura froze and scream and punched Naruto in the face sending him to the wall.
She had a fearful look on her face and fell off and bed and scooted to the wall, completely horrified.
Gaara ran over to her and kneeled in front her. Sakura saw him and immediately wrapped her arms around him. "Gaara who is that?" she cried, holding onto him tightly.
Neji just stared at them very confused; he looked over at Naruto who was rubbing his head from the impact. Naruto stood up cracking his back and looked at Gaara and Sakura.
Gaara stood up pulling Sakura with him. Gaara turned to the two with Sakura hiding behind him and poking her head over his shoulder to look at the two.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto stepped forward slightly making Sakura hide further behind Gaara.
"Gaara, why does he know my name?" Sakura asked him.
Naruto was horror struck; he couldn't even begin to understand his sadness. Neji looked at Sakura filled with the same sorrow. Gaara sighed and took in a deep breath before saying anything.
"Sakura lost her memory," Gaara said averting their gaze.
"Sakura-chan you mean you can't remember anything, it's me Naruto" he tried to smile. Sakura shook her head shyly not remembering anything other then the image from the memory of Gaara.
"I've got a question Gaara" Neji crossed his arms and looked at the pair. "Why was Sakura asleep in your room and is wearing nothing but a shirt to sleep in?" He raised an eyebrow curious as to what was going on.
Naruto blinked just now realizing this concept, "Why is she like that . . . WERE YOU TWO SLEEPING TOGETHER!?"
Sakura went blood red and clung to Gaara even more then she had been. "It's not what you think we're not like sleeping together, she just can't be alone at night and shares my bed with me" Gaara tried to say without turning it into something else.
Both of them looked at him disbelievingly, "Really then Gaara show us, so we know" Neji said.
Gaara grimaced, "I don't have to prove it to you ok, she does she starts crying and screaming whenever she isn't near me"
"I believe you Gaara" Naruto said smiling slightly. Naruto looked a little past him to Sakura, "Please come out I just want to see you" he begged.
Sakura looked at Gaara and he nodded telling her it was ok and safe to do so. Sakura stepped past Gaara and walked towards Naruto. Naruto smiled and tears weld up in his eyes but he refused to let them fall.
"Sakura . . . I'm so glad you're alright" he smiled brightly and walked closer to her and hugged her lightly. Sakura slowly hugged him back and smiled slightly closing her eyes.
She felt something for the blonde, it wasn't anything like she felt for Gaara, but it was something friendly and kind, something she wanted to be around and never lose.
He released her and she looked at him, "Naruto?"
He smiled brightly, "So you DO remember me Sakura-chan!"
She laughed slightly, "No, I was asking if it was your name, so I could remember"
Naruto continued smiling and rubbed the back of his head, "So I guess you only remember Gaara" he laughed trying to make a joke.
Sakura nodded happily and smiled back. Naruto blinked realizing she wasn't joking, "So you really do only remember Gaara?" he asked.
Sakura nodded again, "Gaara says it's because I've been with him the most," she said blinking. Sakura turned a slight pink, "Um, do you two mind getting out so I can change I feel a bit awkward seeing as I'm only in a shirt"
Naruto and Neji nodded and headed to the door, but Naruto looked back at Sakura and smiled. "Gaara I'm going to take a shower ok, so you can change and go talk with them" she smiled at him.
"You sure you'll be alright?" he asked.
"I'm sure she can bath herself, Gaara" Neji said slightly annoyed.
Gaara sent a glare towards the Hyuuga silencing him. He looked down at Sakura who was blushing slightly from the statement. "You'll be ok?" he asked again placing a hand on her cheek.
She nodded and smiled as she grabbed her clothes and walked into the bathroom. Neji and Naruto walked out closing the door behind them. The two walked downstairs and sat back on the couch.
"I think Gaara and Sakura are a little too friendly, don't you think Naruto?" Neji asked the blonde.
"I don't think so, even if they are it's not like we have any say in it. I mean you saw what happened when I first hugged Sakura-chan, she had like a panic attack and clung to Gaara like if she let go she would fall"
Naruto sighed and looked at the wall. "Neji, I think she does need Gaara, I think Sakura is the only person who knows what happened to Konoha. I think she's so traumatized she lost her memory to stop all the pain."
"But why Gaara, he'd seem the least likely to you know . . . help" Neji wondered leaning against the sofa.
Naruto shrugged, he was just glad Gaara was taking care of her. Gaara walked down in his normal attire and walked up to them and sitting on the opposite couch.
"When I first visited Sakura in the hospital I asked her if she could remember anything, all she said was an explosion, a blonde woman, and falling to the desert floor." Gaara sighed leaning back on the couch as well.
"That must be what happened to Konoha, an explosion I mean that would make sense, since everything thing was destroyed I mean it was all gone." Naruto said.
Neji leaned forward and held his head with his hands just sitting there. Gaara glanced at him but returned his attention to Naruto who was going on and on about all the different things that could have happened to Konoha.
"SHUT UP NARUTO!" Neji stood quickly glaring down at the fox ninja. "SHUT UP! You keep talking about what different horrifying things could have happened to Konoha with this stupid attitude like everything is going to be ok!"
Both Gaara and Naruto just stared at him, "Neji you need to calm down just be thank-"
"Be thankful? . . . BE THANKFUL?! Naruto my wife is dead, I am never going to see her again and I should be thankful?! So SHUT UP and leave the matter alone right now!" he yelled and stormed out the door.
Sakura stood at the foot of the stairs and was staring at the door that Neji exited through. She looked at the two on the couches, "What's wrong?" she asked them.
"Nothing," Gaara said quickly. "Sakura . . . would you be ok if I left you with Naruto I forgot about something I had to take home with me at the office"
Sakura looked at him nervously and then Naruto, "I guess . . ."
Gaara stood up and walked over to her; she looked up at him and blinked. "I promise Naruto is the closest friend you have and I won't be gone for long and maybe you'll remember him too"
Sakura hesitantly nodded. "I promise I'll be right back," he assured her. Gaara closed his eyes and dissolved into sand and was gone.
Sakura blinked and looked around, "Did he just like teleport?"
"Something like that" Naruto smiled and walked up to her. Sakura stared at him oddly.
"You like him don't you?" Naruto smirked looking down at the redder by the second Sakura.
"N-no Gaara and I are just friends" Sakura tried to say strongly but failing miserably. Sakura began fiddling with her fingers and looked off to the side, Naruto just began laughing.
"You can tell me Sakura, I'm one of your best friends, and I can keep a secret" he smiled showing that she could trust him.
Sakura looked at him and thought for a second. "Well, sort of" she said quietly going even redder.
Naruto smiled brightly. "That's great Sakura-chan, I'm so happy you finally found someone!" he cheered and hugged her.
Sakura hugged him back slightly and then the two let go. Sakura looked around nervously and couldn't stop even the slightest movement. Naruto looked at her oddly, "You ok Sakura-chan?" he asked.
She nodded only slightly and her breathing became more labored. "Sakura-chan!" Naruto held her trying to calm the now freaking out Sakura.
She started screaming like a banshee and pushed Naruto away from her and slumped to the ground. "GAARA!!!!!!" Sakura screamed holding her head.
"Sakura-chan!! It's me Naruto! I'm here!! SAKURA!" Naruto yelled hugging her trembling form.
Sakura pushed him away and cried more, "NO! WHERE DID THEY TAKE HIM!! THEY CAN'T HAVE HIM HES ALL I HAVE LEFT!!" she cried continuously.
Sand swirled in the middle of the living room and Gaara appeared and Sakura and heard Sakura. He dropped the papers he was holding and ran to her wrapped his arms around her.
"Sakura I'm right here" he said soothing her. Sakura saw him and held onto him tightly and her crying subsided. Naruto sat there helplessly and watch the two, Gaara was right it hadn't even been 10 minutes and she had a panic attack.
"Sakura, you can't live without Gaara . . . can you?" Naruto whispered under his breath. Naruto grimaced and cursed whoever made Sakura this way.
Gaara looked up at Naruto in realization, "Naruto I sent my sister to go find out what happened to Konoha"
Naruto looked down at the ground, "If she sees Konoha, she'll . . ."
"She should have arrived there today, she's already been gone 3 days" Gaara told him.
They were all silent until they heard the door opened and Neji walked back in. He came and stopped a bit away from them, "I'm . . . sorry" Neji said quickly.
"It's just, hard knowing she's dead . . ." Neji said quietly. Naruto walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
He smiled, "Neji I know how you feel and it's ok because we'll make it through this" he said with determination burning in his eyes.
"Naruto you can have the room Sakura was going to use and Neji you can have the room across the hall from it" Gaara said getting up. Sakura stood up behind him still holding onto his arm.
"Now I have to go get some food because I'm running low, So Sakura and I are going to run out for a bit we'll be right back"
Both Neji and Naruto nodded as he and Sakura headed out the door. "Naruto, what was wrong with Sakura? She looked completely traumatized"
"Neji, Gaara left to go get something and left Sakura with me he wasn't even gone for 10 minutes and Sakura just . . . I don't know she went crazy and started screaming" Naruto looked down sadly.
Naruto laughed slightly, "I never thought the person Sakura would need most in her life after Sasuke . . ." he looked at Neji happily tears forming in his eyes.
"Would be Gaara," he smiled.
Neji smiled slightly, "But would you rather it anyone else?" he asked already knowing the answer.
Naruto nodded wiping his eyes before the tears could fall. "Neji . . ." Naruto said clenching his fists. "I know you and I feel devastated by our loses, but just think . . . I'm almost positive Sakura witnessed Konoha's destruction"
"She saw everyone she knew and loved die right before her eyes and now she's suffering loneliness . . . that I, Gaara, and I know you felt. When I find out who did this," Naruto clenched his teeth getting angry.
"I'm going to rip them apart, not only for Sakura but for Hinata" Naruto closed his eyes tightly, tears leaking out and falling to the floor.
The two stood in silence for some time until Naruto began speaking, "I'm going to go and lie down" he said solemnly and walked up the stairs.
Neji followed with his white eyes until he disappeared. He took a seat on the couch again and just rest his head in his arms trying to remember his love's face.
Time went by and the sun began to sink below the horizon. The door opened and Gaara and Sakura walked back in Gaara's sand carrying multiple bags of groceries. Sakura looked over and saw Neji on the couch. She looked up at Gaara and he nodded walking into the kitchen.
Sakura walked over and sat on the coffee table in front of Neji. She smiled sweetly and waiting for him to look up. Neji finally figuring out she wasn't going to leave looked up at her.
"Gaara told me about Tenten and I know you're my friend because I feel something for you, he also told me Tenten was my friend. So I got you this," Sakura smiled wildly holding out a necklace with a small puzzle piece on it.
"See I got four and they all fit together, I gave one to Gaara, and I wanted to give the other two to you and Naruto. So you know that even though you lost someone precious to you. You're not alone because you have friends"
Neji stared at it until finally taking it in his hand. He looked up at Sakura and his vision blurred. Sakura blinked and smiled and got up and sat beside him and hugged him. He sat there for awhile and then wrapped his arms around her.
Sakura leaned back and looked at him making sure he was ok. "Gaara is going to teach me how to cook I hope you'll have dinner with us tonight" she asked.
"Yeah," Neji said hoarsely. "Thank you, Sakura" he smiled slightly and got up and headed upstairs.
Sakura got up and ran to the window in the kitchen and sat on the stool there and looked in at Gaara. "I think he liked it" Sakura said leaning forward on the counter.
Gaara walked up to the window and looked down at her. "I'm sure he did," Gaara gave her a small smile.
"Hey, Gaara was I the only one who had no one back where I live?" Sakura asked twirling her fingers together.
Gaara was caught off guard by the question and just stared at her trying to search for an answer. "Because you told me that Neji was married to a girl named Tenten and her name seems familiar. Also you said Naruto and Hinata we're together."
"But would about me . . . did I really have no one?"
Gaara took a sharp intake of breath and looked at her. "You did have someone Sakura . . ." she looked up at him waiting for him to continue, hoping to god it was him.
"You just didn't know you had him," he said turning around and finished putting the groceries up.
Sakura had a confused look on her face and propped her head up with an arm. "That was SO helpful, Gaara" she rolled her eyes.
"Why can't you just tell me who it was" she protested.
"Because you didn't like him, you liked the stupid Uchiha" Gaara snarled back not facing.
"Well, I don't remember him all I can remember is you and your all I care about!" she yelled tears spilling from her eyes.
Gaara slammed the cabinet he was placing things in, startling Sakura. He just glared at the wall, his hand in the form of a fist. "Sakura you DON'T feel that way about me and you never will"
"Then how do you explain how I feel now? You're the only one who has been with me since I woke up! You're the one I need and you're the only voice I can hear when I have lost myself! It's not anyone but you! How can that mean nothing?!" she screamed.
Gaara turned around and walked up to her and glared, the two were face to face. "Sakura, you don't remember anything! You don't remember what I've done. I've tried to kill you! Don't you understand the only reason for this is because I was the one there when you woke up!"
More tears fell from her eyes and she turned around, "I don't care what you say. I don't care if you did try to kill me before. I know you wouldn't know and nothing will change how I feel about you!" she yelled crying more.
"Even if I get my memories back I'll always remember the way you make me fell! SO DON'T TELL ME I LOVE YOU OR NOT!" Sakura was now screaming at the top of her lungs and walked up the stairs.
"UGH!!" Gaara ran his hands down his face, cursing himself at how he got involved with this. Gaara punched the wall and glared off into space. "That stupid woman" his eye began twitching slightly.
He heard the door slam upstairs. A small growl was let out, "Did she just lock herself in MY room"
Gaara walked up the stares his aura practically black. Neji and Naruto looked out their doors as he passed and walked up to his room. Gaara grabbed the doorknob but was unable to open it.
"Sakura you open this door RIGHT NOW!!" Gaara yelled through the door.
"GO AWAY, STUPID HEAD!!" she yelled back from his bed.
". . ."
Neji and Naruto covered their mouths to muffle their laughter. It went unheard to the fuming Gaara. "Sakura if you think this door will stop me! You are sadly mistaken!!" his sand stirred all around him getting ready to demolish the door.
"GO AHEAD YOU STUPID BUTT MUNCHER!" he heard something hit the door. "I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY AND DO ANYTHING TO ME!!"
Gaara glared at the door and was about to rip it down with his bare hands but just scoffed and turned away from it. "FINE, Sakura I'm leaving and DON'T expect me to come to you when you start crying" he said loud enough for her to hear and dissolved into sand.
Neji and Naruto looked across at each other and reluctantly walked out and towards Gaara's room. Naruto knocked on it, "Um, Sakura its Neji and I"
The door opened slightly and Sakura looked out at them. She opened it and let them in. she just walked silently back to the bed and sat on it with her legs pulled up to her chest.
"Sakura-chan, I um overheard yours and Gaara's conversation," Naruto began.
Sakura looked off to the side and out the window. "Sakura-chan you don't understand, because you don't remember . . . Gaara he's not well he's not a very open person"
"Sakura-chan the last person to tell Gaara they loved him tried to kill him" Naruto said sadly. Sakura was short of breath and pulled her knees closer to her body and buried her head in her arms.
"I didn't know . . ." Sakura whispered sadly.
"I know Sakura-chan, but the thing is I've never seen Gaara act the way he does with you. It's just the words scare him, let me talk to him ok" Naruto smiled placing his hand on her head gently.
"Sakura-chan, I think you have become someone precious to Gaara" Naruto's smile grew ear to ear. Sakura looked up at him tears in her eyes and nodded doubtfully.
"I'm going to go to sleep" she said in a low voice.
Naruto and Neji looked at each other worry written on they're faces. "Alright Sakura we'll be down the hall if you need us" Neji said as him and Naruto left the room closing the door behind them.
Sakura got up and changed into another of Gaara's long t-shirts and slipped under the covers. She watched the sunset on the desert as she tried to drift off. Sakura's hand on the covers tightened and she shut her eyes tightly as memories flooded her mind.
She saw Naruto and their time together joking and her setting him up with Hinata. Memories with Neji came in their missions together and when they went to save Gaara's student, everything that had to do with the two.
The rest off her memories with Gaara came in making her head hurt from everything that was pouring in. Sakura held her head tightly not even realizing she was screaming. She was lost inside her own mind.
Neji and Naruto were calling out for her and trying to wake her but nothing got through. "Naruto stay here I'll go find Gaara!" Neji yelled over her screaming.
He nodded and just stared down at the tormented Sakura. Neji opened the window and ran out onto the balcony and jumped to the roof and started searching for the Kazekage.
-
Gaara sat on the outer wall of Suna now looking at the moonlit desert. He let out a deep sigh and leaned back on his hands.
Gaara closed his eyes and let the wind caress his face. Gaara frowned when he felt a familiar chakra beside him. He opened one eye and looked up at Neji, "What?" he asked.
"Gaara, its Sakura something's wrong with her she won't stop screaming, you have to come" he said in a sort of pleading tone.
"I don't have to DO anything" Gaara said closing his eye again and trying to enjoy the night air.
"Gaara you can't honestly sit there and let this happen can you?" he asked but it was in a more demanding tone.
"I'm trying but your making it very difficult" he said a little annoyance in his voice.
"Fine, Gaara you let the girl who just told you she loved you to suffer, be my guest but she's all that's left of my past and I will NOT let her suffer no matter what I have to do" Neji said sternly.
He jumped back and headed back to the mansion as fast as he could. He jumped back onto the balcony and walked into the room Sakura still in the same state as when he left.
"Where's Gaara?" Naruto asked.
Neji shook his head and looked at the crying and screaming Sakura. All he could do was stand there and watch Naruto attempt to get through to her but nothing seemed to work.
Naruto slammed his fist against the wall, tears drenching his face. "WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER!" he screamed. Neji looked down sadly; if nothing Naruto did worked he doubted he could help.
Naruto and Neji tensed as suddenly the felt someone behind them. They both turned around swiftly kunai in hand to see Gaara. He walked past both of them and walked over to his bed and looked down at Sakura.
Gaara bent down and picked Sakura up by the collar of the shirt she was wearing. He pulled her close to him making them face to face, "SAKURA! CUT THIS CRAP OUT!" he yelled into her wet face.
Naruto was about to start at him, but Neji's outstretched his hand in front of him. The two stood and watched Gaara talk to the now only crying Sakura.
"How many times have I told you I am always here! Do I have to carve it into your forehead, do you want something like this?!" he growled grabbing her hand and placing it over the kanji.
Sakura looked down at him and her crying began to die down and was only breathing harshly now. "I'm, I'm sorry" she sobbed out. Gaara let go of the shirt and she fell to her knees on the bed and hugging him around the waist. Gaara wrapped his arms around her and held her head close to his chest.
Neji motioned to Naruto and the two crept out of the room. Neji closed the door quietly. They both walked down the hallway to their rooms and looked at each other before heading in.
-
"Sakura, are you ok now?" Gaara asked.
She nodded and held on tighter. "Do you hate me?"
Gaara remained quit and just held her tightly. Sakura felt his hand under her chin and forced her to look up. Almost instantly Gaara's lips met hers in a kiss.
Sakura was a little shocked at first but melted into the kiss. They stayed like that for some time until Sakura leaned back and looked at him and smiled. "Why did you come back I thought you left?" she asked.
He stared into her lush green eyes and answered; "Neji told me the girl I loved was in pain" he smiled slightly.
Sakura's eyes sparkled like they never had before and she clung to him tightly, loving his embrace. Sakura sat down releasing Gaara from her grasp; she climbed to her side and got under the covers.
Gaara sighed yet again and went and grabbed some pants and went and changed from his shinobi clothes and into his black pants. He crawled into his side of the bed and looked at Sakura.
He leaned over to her and pressed his forehead against hers, "Now go to sleep" he smirked.
She smiled back sheepishly and nodded. Gaara used his sand to turn the lights off and lay down facing the pink haired girl.
Sakura smiled and touched his cheek with her pale hand. "I love you Gaara" she said sleepily and drifted slowly off into sleep.
He grabbed her hand with his and held it there enjoying the touch. "I love you too Sakura" he whispered.
-
Deidara sat in the newly built up Akatsuki kitchen. They needed a new thanks to her bombs. She dove a spoon she had into the giant gallon of chocolate chip ice cream on the table.
The leader walked in followed by Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, and Kakuzu. She looked up at them the spoon of ice cream still in her mouth.
"Deidara well I haven't really been paying attention, but over the past 3 years you've been well . . . "changing"" he began.
She blinked and looked at them oddly. "Ever since Sasori, well died, you've been acting weird"
The spoon Deidara was holding snapped in half from the blondes grip. "SASORI-DANNA ISN'T DEAD!" she yelled standing up slamming her hands on the table.
They all back up quickly scared of her temper. "Deidara you have Sasori's body in your closet" Kisame said a little worried.
Deidara flipped the table over making it land on its side, "I'M NOT CRAZY!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
They all back up to the wall. "Now Deidara calm down no one is calling you crazy" he said trying to calm the psycho clay artist.
"YOU THINK I'M STUPID! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO!!!!" she yelled and then laughed evilly. "I know he's not dead!! I KNOW!!" she laughed while her eye twitched insanely.
She ran out and past them laughing like a maniac. The Leader, Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, and Kakuzu were all huddled together holding onto each other for dear life.
Deidara kicked open her and glared at them before going in. She slammed the door hard behind her. They all gulped and looked at each other, "we are NEVER doing that EVER again" Kisame said.
They all nodded and departed into different areas around the house.
-
Deidara opened her window and looked outside. "I have been acting strange" she said moving her hair out of her face. "Maybe I am going crazy, slowly over the years I've been losing my sanity . . ."
"I felt the change the day he died, I think my mind accepted the fact he was gone . . . but my heart didn't" she let a tear fall from her eye. Deidara pulled her legs to her and laid her head on her hands and began crying.
"I don't want to be crazy, I want everything to be like it was when you were here" she sobbed.
"I miss you so much, Sasori-danna"
-
One week later. . .
"Gaara it's been a week since your sister got back and she hasn't left her house" Naruto said worriedly.
Gaara nodded from his desk and looked out the window. "She was devastated when she was Konoha" Gaara said sadly.
"Can I try and talk to her Gaara?" Sakura asked from her place on the couch. Gaara looked past Naruto to Sakura and thought about it.
"I don't know Sakura that might not be a good idea," Gaara said thinking of how she gets when she is away from him for too long.
Sakura got up and walked beside Naruto and pouted. "Please Gaara" she turned slightly. "You know I've been getting better, I'll only go for a little bit ok, please, please, please!!" she begged.
Gaara ran his hand down his face and stared at her. "Fine . . ." he groaned. Sakura jumped up and down, "thank you, thank you, thank you!!" she yelled and hugged him.
Gaara groaned again as she let go and ran out the door. Gaara looked wearily at Naruto. Naruto let out a small laugh, "Yes, Gaara I will watch her" he smiled and poofed.
Gaara let out a relived sigh and stood up and looked out the window seeing Sakura hurrying towards Temari's house. Gaara let a small smile grace his lips. He rests his hand on the glass and whispered, "Sakura . . ."
-
Sakura looked around and saw the house her and Gaara had gone to before. She went up happily and knocked on the door. Sakura waited patiently as she heard a person approach.
"What." the voice hissed.
Sakura tilted her head to get a better view at the girl through the crack. Sakura smiled, "Temari it's me Sakura can I please come in"
There was silence for a bit until the door opened a little wider allowing Sakura in. she walked in, the place was a mess, Sakura looked to see Temari go back to the couch and turn on the TV and just sulkily watch TV with a large blanket around her.
Sakura sat down in a comfy chair and looked at Temari. "Hey, Temari it's not healthy to sit around all day and night for a week" Sakura said looking at the blonde.
"I don't care" she sobbed. "Shikamaru is dead, why does anything matter anymore!" she cried wrapping the blanket tightly around her.
"Lots of things matter Temari, your brothers, they hate seeing you like this" Sakura smiled slightly and moved to the same couch as her.
"I care about you and I want to remember you more, not to mention you're entire village" she said placing a hand on the Suna Kunochi's shoulder.
Temari's sobbing stooped and she looked at Sakura with tear filled eyes. Sakura smiled and hugged Temari and Temari hugged her back, letting the tears fall from her eyes.
"I'm sorry Sakura, here I am crying my eyes out about Shikamaru, when you lost everything and everyone" Temari cried.
Sakura's smile faded slightly as she thought about this. The two parted and Temari smiled at Sakura. She broke from her thoughts and smiled back.
There was another loud knocking at the door. Both Sakura and Temari looked at the door.
"I'll get it" Sakura said to Temari before getting up and answering the door. She blinked and smiled as she saw Gaara.
"Hi Gaara!" Sakura smiled hugging him tightly.
She looked behind him and saw three people. "Hey Gaara who are they?" Sakura asked looking up at him.
All of them looked puzzled at her. "Sakura this is Shikamaru, Hinata, and Tenten" he said to her.
A/n: Ok well I hope you all liked it!!!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!
