Next thing she knew, she was running like nothing else mattered. She just needed to get away from him. To get away from her, Sakura…her friend.
She really needed someone right now and the only person she knew would understand was Gaara.
She raced to the Forest in search of him. "Gaara-sama!" She called as tears poured down.
He heard her screams and came to her concerned though he hardly showed it.
"Are you alright?" He nearly lost his breathe when he saw her desperate tears.
"I-I, h-he," she was hugging herself hopelessly. Why was this sort of thing always happening to her?
"Naruto..." he knew no one else could make her cry this hard. He secretly envied the foolish blond boy. He always got the better part of the deal. Sure they were the same with a demon sealed inside of them, but they were treated entirely different when it came to that matter. Gaara was feared and cut off from everyone while Naruto was especially cared for. And that idiot was so ungrateful for it too.
She nodded and kept her head down.
He snarled angrily. He has always thought of him as nothing but Hinatas companion, but now, he hated him.
He had hurt her. An innocent soul caught in the hands of fate, he knew it was bound to happen eventually.
"H-he broke up with me…" She struggled.
His eyes turned wide at the thought of him committing such a stupid action to the one he treasured.
She let out an unwilled weep.
He couldn't take it anymore, this was killing him inside, and why did it bother him so much? He was the Kazekage and should keep his dignity and care less for someone like her…but yet.
He embraced her and prepared for rejection.
Instead he felt her grab onto his shirt tightly with such a grip that he thought she would never let go.
One hand on her nape and the other around her waist. He enjoyed this rare chance for human contact.
She sobbed uncontrollably.
She was a mess, but, she just didn't care anymore.
This angered him.
Could he really be that important to her? His eyes narrowed as he stared at her small fragile body.
"He doesn't deserve you…" It wasn't meant to be heard but she heard it.
She calmed down. She couldn't believe what Gaara had said. She didn't believe what Gaara had said because it wasn't real.
"Liar..."
He realized that it was said out loud.
"He's an idiot to break-up with you for someone like her…"She stayed quiet.
They sat down against the trunk of a nearby tree.
The crying had stopped, and it eased his soul.
"I guess he just thought her prettier then me…Stronger…not so pathetic"
He cut her off there.
"Your not pathetic" he spoke solemnly, like it was a fact.
She listened.
"Your unbelievable, easy to talk to…beautiful and I'd choose you over anybody"
