School has started and I am getting another brace so chapters will take longer to update. *Sigh* Mom made me finish an essay. Compare and contrast thingies fail. Especially when you have to write a 5 paragraph essay and it's like hey they are two things not three. Told my mom one of the things are gonna be they are both books. She don't believe that I will put it but I did. I was going to put this chapter on yesterday but things happened and I ended up going to the hospital. It was family problems. So I'm adding it now.


Sakura's POV

I woke up before dawn and got ready for breakfast. After breakfast I would have to get ready for the ball. Temari said she would do my hair and make-up since I had no idea what to do. This was one reason why I never wore make-up. The other reason was I just out right hated it. Breakfast went by pretty fast. Temari was now in my room curling my hair. She was actually pretty good at it. She put a few clips in my hair to keep it out of my face.

Then she started on the make-up. She put on emerald eyeshadow and silver eyeliner. She put on clear lip gloss and a light blush. Once she was finished she left the room so I could get dressed. I grabbed the dress and started to zip it up. Then the zipper got stuck.

"Shit." I opened my door and looked to see in anyone was out there. I saw Gaara. "Hey Gaara can you help me with something."

Gaara's POV

When I heard Sakura ask me for help I turned around and headed towards her room.

"Can you zip my dress up for me?"

I nodded and she turned around.

"Wouldn't it be better if we removed the dress."

I ignored him and zipped her dress up.

"Thank you." She gave me a kiss on the cheek before she went back into her room.

I turned around and headed back to my room to get ready.

"Don't ever say that again."

"We both know you wanted to."

"I can't force her into it. It would turn out bad for the both of us."

Sakura's POV

I grabbed the box that had the necklace and earrings. I then put them on.

"I wonder who got these for me."

"Maybe a hottie red head."

"Maybe."

I sat down on my bed and put on the heels. "So why have you never told me your name?"

"I am waiting for the right time."

"Oh."

The rest of the time while I waited I was talking to the voice inside my conversation ended when I heard a knock at the door. I stood up and stumbled the first few steps. When I opened the door I saw Gaara. I smiled at him. Temari had said he would be my escort. He offered me his arm and led me to the ball room.

"Great. I have to walk downstairs."

"Don't fall."

I ignored her and slowly walked down the stairs next to Gaara. I could feel peoples eyes on me. One set in particular scared me. His black eyes were staring at me lustfully. I moved closer to Gaara's side.

Gaara's POV

I felt Sakura move closer to my side. When I looked at who she was staring at I saw the Uchiha. I growled at him and he smirked at me. I led her away from him. I knew she wouldn't want us to fight over her but I would if it came down to it. When we were a safe distance I stopped.

"You look beautiful Sakura." I whispered right next to her ear. I saw her blush. I breathed in her scent. It had a spicy smell to it. I wondered why.

"She is going into heat."

My eyes widened. I would have to control myself around her.

"Gaara let's dance."

She pulled me onto the dance floor. A waltz started to play. I grabbed her hand in one of mine and put the other on her waist. We danced until the song ended. I could smell the Uchiha.

"Mind if I have a dance?"

Sakura nodded. I wanted her to say no but then something worst might happen. The Uchiha thinks he could take what was mine. I walked off to a less crowded area and waited for them to finish their dance. I saw the Uchiha say something to her. She then slapped him and walked off.

I smirked at him and followed after Sakura. When I caught up with her she was on the beach. Her shoes where off and she was standing in the water with her dress pulled up so it wouldn't get wet. I snuck up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

Sakura's POV

I jumped when arms wrapped around my waist but then I saw red hair. I relaxed in his arms and allowed him to pull me out of the water.

"I won't let him hurt you."

"I know."

"Glad you liked the jewelry."

"You got these for me?" He nodded. "Thank you." I kissed him. I'm not sure why. I just had an urge to. When he started to kiss me back I wrapped my arms around his neck. I could feel his arms on my waist tighten and pull me tighter against him. We the need for air became to great we pulled apart. I smiled at him and instantly knew I was falling for him. When it started to get dark Gaara sat down with me in his lap and we watched the last light of the day fade into night.


Another chapter. Don't you just hate when your dress zipper gets stuck. Hopefully none of you guys have had that happen cause I hope you ain't wearing dresses. If you do have fun with that. I want to thank my previewers who helped me find and fix my mistakes. R&R
