Sorry for the delay, I have had A lot going on here and It has left me exhausted. So here is the second chapter and I will try to make chapter 3 longer with some lemon in it.
Chapter 2: The Past
Sakura glanced into Gaara's eyes and felt as if she was pulled into a past long forgotten. There was a small, 3 year old Sakura. Only instead of pink hair, she had hair black as ebony. With eyes as golden as a serpent's, they were ever watchful. She was Sakuya Orochimaru then. The power that radiated off of her made Gaara feel powerless as he watched her train from the shadows.
Sakuya's eyes flashed red for a moment as the ground around her exploded into a crater. Gaara looked down and he knew his power could never compare to hers. With a small sigh, Gaara turned and walked away. Sakura having felt his presence looked behind her. "No Gaara….please stay.." She said softly.
Gaara stopped and turned around, holding a flower as he walked up to her. "For you…Lady Sakuya" He held out the flower as she shyly accepted it. She smiled as Gaara took the flower and placed it behind her ear in her hair. "You look beautiful." He whispered.
Sakuya smiled. "Thank you" Gaara smiled back as he looked at her beauty and found himself wish she were his. Gaara was so wrapped up in her beauty he had not noticed Lord Orochimaru and Lord Kazekage coming up the hills. "Sakuya, I see you are training again." Orochimaru said.
Sakuya turned around and ran to her father "DADDY!!!" She jumped into his waiting arms and he settled her on his hip like a natural father would. Gaara looked down and acknowledged his father's presence with a whispered, "father".
Orochimaru and Gaara's father looked at each other. Orochimaru set Sakuya down. "Now Sakuya, I have arranged a marriage for u, to young Lord Gaara of the Sand." Gaara looked at Sakuya and was shocked to see a blush and a smile on her face.
Sakuya blushed as her hand caught the falling flower that Gaara had moments before put in her hair. Orochimaru glanced over the hills as he picked up his daughter. "Sakuya, listen to me very carefully, I am sending you to Suna. It has become dangerous here for you" Sakuya felt her eyes glisten with tears as her father set her next to Gaara as the Kazekage ushered them both through the back path that was hidden by rocks and vines.
Sakuya looked back as a ninja jumped at her father, sinking a kunai into his arm. She tried to run to help him, but Gaara's father grabbed her and went inside the tunnel, sealing it with a jutsu behind him. Sakuya cried as she was lead to Sunagakure. Gaara felt powerless, he could never hope to make her feel better with the loss of her father.
Gaara took Sakuya's hand and held it tightly. "It will be ok Sakuya, I promise." Gaara said, and Sakuya smiled as the Kazekage made arrangements for Sakuya in Konohagakure, with her mother. Tsunade sent some konoha ninja lead by Itachi Uchiha to Suna to pick up her daughter.
Days later Itachi and the rest of the Anbu walked into Konoha. Tsunade was at the desk when Itachi knocked and entered the room with Sakuya. "I have completed the mission Lady Hokage." Itachi sat her in a chair and left the room. Sakuya looked around shyly. Tsunade watched her not certain if her daughter knew who she was.
"Sakuya?" Tsunade said looking at her. Sakuya looked at the hokage. "Sakuya what do you know about your mother?" Tsunade asked her. Sakuya just sat there not saying anything. Tsunade thought something happened to Orochimaru since Sakuya was not with him.
"I want my daddy" Sakuya said as she hugged her teddy bear closely. Tsunade sighed and decided to send a message to Orochimaru. Sending for Neji, Tsunade then made the decision to send Sakuya to the Hyuugas for the time being.
