Chapter 3
Sakura yawned, stretching her arms out. It was 5:55 am, and she was walking towards the gate to meet Gaara, and she had to say, she was pretty excited and unusually cheerful this morning. She couldn't wait to get started on this trip; she just had to know if there was someone out there, well, besides herself and Gaara. She squealed at the thought of finding people, and almost jumped up in joy.
She finally couldn't take it, and she let her excitement take over her, as she started running towards the gate.
Running right into the red haired god.
They both fell backwards, landing on the ground. She flushed with embarrassment, muttering a quick apology, while Gaara just glared at her. She stood up, and held out a hand for him, but he just glared at it, 'hn-ed', and stood up without the help of the kunoichi.
"Hn, let's just get going," Gaara said through his clenched teeth, trying to contain himself from killing the girl in front of him.
"Haha, right," Sakura sheepishly replied, rubbing her head in embarrassment.
Their facial expressions turned into more serious ones, forgetting what had happened a few seconds ago, and they began to run and jump from tree to tree, side by side. They were going pretty fast, considering that they just needed to know if there was someone else out there or not. Gaara tried speeding up, partly trying to get there as fast as they could, and partly to see if the pink haired girl could keep up with him. He smirked; there was no way she could keep up with him.
Suddenly, in a matter of seconds, Sakura caught up to him, and his smirk fell off his face completely. Sakura noticed this, and began smirking herself, and sped up slightly. This had now turned into a game.
Gaara, though not saying anything, accepted this challenge, and sped up even more.
And it continued on like this for a few hours, both trying to see who was faster. They both had gotten many wins and losses, both knowing who had won or lost.
'She's better than I thought she was,' Gaara thought, sweating from their game.
'Yeah, she's even good enough to be our mate, she's pretty, and she can run pretty fast.'
'First of all, don't even start talking about mates, and second of all, no way, and third of all, I don't even know her, and all I know is that she's a clumsy girl who can't help but fall into me,' Gaara thought.
'Maybe she's really in love with you, and she's purposely falling into you.'
Gaara mentally rolled his eyes, and shoved Shukaku back into his mind where he couldn't hear him, and focused on his running. They had both been focusing on their speed, but they apparently weren't focusing on other things, and suddenly, both of their stomachs began grumbling. Both look embarrassed, well, mostly Sakura, for her face had almost turned the color of her hair, while Gaara just had a slight blush, and 'hn-ed'.
"M-maybe we should stop for lunch or something," Sakura said sheepishly, "I brought some food for us."
"Hn," was all Gaara replied back with, but nodded his head 'yes'.
They both sat down in the middle of a clearing on the grass, Sakura sitting on her knees, digging in the backpack in front of her, looking for their food, while Gaara sat Indian style, just staring, um, glaring at her. Finally, Sakura found some sandwiches, doing a little victory dance in her head, and gave one to Gaara and kept one for herself.
They both ate in an uncomfortable silence, ignoring each other's stares.
'Jeez, I wish I was stuck with someone who would actually talk, maybe someone like Naruto or something,' Sakura thought.
'Well, it might not be someone talkative, but at least it's someone hot.'
Sakura blushed, 'W-whatever! You're such a guy addict.'
'Fine, if that's how you're gonna be, I'm leaving you.'
Sakura was still blushing from the incident she just had with Inner Sakura, when Gaara raised an (non-existent) eyebrow.
"Hn, why are you blushing," Gaara wondered. Unfortunately for Sakura, this just caused her to blush even more, and she shook her head fast in a 'no' fashion.
"I-it's nothing!" Sakura stuttered, putting her hands in front of her.
"Hn, whatever," Gaara said, turning his attention back to his sandwich.
Finally, when they were both done with their sandwiches, they got up, and began to run again.
(Okay, look, they ran for about 7 or 8 hours in silence. I'm way too lazy to type a whole paragraph on what happened cause they barely did anything so yeah. :P).
It was starting to get darker, and Sakura and Gaara knew they would have to set up camp soon.
"Gaara, we should probably stop soon," Sakura said, breaking the silence. Gaara merely nodded, and they noticeably slowed down, looking around them, trying to find a place to set up camp.
"Gaara, over here! I think I found a place to set it up!" Sakura shouted excitedly, Gaara muttered something about loud pink haired girls, and came over to where Sakura was standing.
It really was a perfect place to set up camp. It was in a small clearing surrounded by tons of trees, most of them leaning in a certain direction so that if someone were to come anywhere near them, the person wouldn't know, in other words, it hid them, not that they had anything or anyone to hide from. Gaara was slightly impressed that the girl found something like this, but he wasn't going to let it show, so he just 'hn-ed' for what seemed like the millionth time today, and took off his bag containing his supplies, which barely held any.
Sakura did the same, pulling out a package that held a tent that you had to set up, and looked big enough to hold about two people. She slightly paled, when she found she only had one.
'Where's the other tent?!' Sakura thought to herself, looking in her bag over and over again, even dumping out all of the stuff inside her bag.
Gaara looked over to her, and slightly paled as well, noticing what she was doing.
She didn't have another tent, and neither did he.
"I'll just stay in the tree, you can have the tent," Gaara said. It's not like he could sleep anyway, so he didn't need to be in a tent for the night, though it would be a little more comfortable in the tent.
"No, it's fine. We can share the tent or something. I don't want you to be uncomfortable up in a tree," Sakura replied back to him, almost like she was reading his mind.
"Hn," Gaara nonchalantly said, though on the inside, he was incredibly surprised. Had she actually done something nice for him? Even though he never did anything for her? This also made him confused, and didn't know what to do.
"Come on already, just help me set up the tent, and we can share it, 'k?" Sakura questioned, he unconsciously nodded, and helped her set up the tent.
When they were done, they both mentally sighed in relief that it was bigger than it looked in the package, and looked like it could at least fit four people in it. They both brung in their items, laid them down at the end of the tent, and chose where they were going to sleep, well, more like Sakura, but Gaara still chose a spot anyway.
They didn't have sleeping bags or blankets, considering it would just slow them down, so Sakura was freezing, while Gaara didn't really look affected by the cold. He looked over at the sleeping and freezing Sakura. She just looked so cold.
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him, and she stopped shaking. They laid like this, until Gaara realized what he was doing, and blushed.
'What am I doing?'
'Awww, I knew you were in love with her!'
'Shut it!' Gaara thought back, mentally glaring at Shukaku, but he just laughed.
'You know I'm right, hehe, and what are you going to do when she wakes up?'
'Tch, I don't know, I'll think of something,' Gaara thought back to him, ending their conversation. He looked down at Sakura, who smiled in her sleep.
"S-sasuke...," Sakura muttered, moving even closer to Gaara, if that was possible. As much as any guy would enjoy this, Gaara was not.
'Sasuke? Tch, are they in love or something?' Gaara glared down at the girl in his arms. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, and realized something.
Wait, why should he be mad over something like this? It's not like he liked the girl… right?
