Alrighty then, fourth chapter is up. I had a small writers block on the end part since i was trying to keep Gaara in character as much as possible. I don't really like OOC-ness. :/ Anyways hope you enjoy it. :)

Disclaimerr: I haven't wrote one yet so here you goo. I don't own Naruto or any of it's characters, cause if i did then Sasuke would of never left and been with Sakura and i would killed Orchimaru in the worst way ever cause hes horrible. :)

Sasuke ran a hand through his hair in frustration. Suki was driving him to the brink of insanity. She was whining and moaning and cursing and screaming, it was annoying the hell out of him. He sat on Sakura's bed, since she wasn't there, and Suki was laying on her bed, she couldn't really get up because of her waist. Three ribs were cracked in half, Gaara had really hurt her, but she didn't seem angry about it.

Naruto was really beat up though. He had all his ribs squeezed in tighter and his lungs were crushed. Sakura was working on him right now, Sasuke hoped he was ok, even though he wouldn't say it out loud.

"Sasuke…can you get me a cup of water?" Suki asked, reaching her hand up weakly to the now empty glass on the nightstand. Sasuke watched her try to grab the cup, but when she flinched he was over there in a flash, pushing her arm back down and grabbing the glass.

"Don't strain yourself." He said. "Try not to move." She looked away, biting her lip. He knew she didn't like being babied, especially by him, but she had to not strain herself like nothing ever happened. The wrong movement could bring her bones out of place and make it hurt more than it already did.

"Where's Kakashi?" She asked, before he walked out the room. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, but I'm sure he'll visit soon." He answered, then opened the door walking out.

He walked down the hall lazily, heading to the small kitchen in the back of the tower. No one was around, there wasn't that many people running around in Suna, unlike Konaha where people where everywhere. Everyday. All the time. Sasuke sighed, turning the corner and bumping into someone. He snapped his eyes up to meet jade ones.

"Sasuke." Gaara mumbled. He had a bandage under his chin and a slip of medical tape across the cut on his cheek. There wasn't anymore blood down his neck, but it was still on his shirt. Soaked into the fabric.

"Kazekage-sama." Sasuke said formally. Gaara's eye twitched slightly.

"Just Gaara-sama, please." He told him.

"Alright, Gaara-sama." Sasuke said. They stood in a uncomfortable silence for a second. Neither of them moving out of each others way.

"How's Suki?" Gaara asked quietly. Sasuke pursed his lips.

"She's ok. Still in a lot of pain, she can't really move much." Because of you, he added in his mind evilly. He was pissed at Gaara for hurting Suki and not controlling that stupid tailed beast inside him.

"Aah." Gaara mumbled. Sasuke hoped he felt guilty.

"I see you got you chin bandaged." He forced out. Gaara graced his finger across the white fabric and looked up at Sasuke, who had to be an inch or two taller.

"Yeah, it was causing too much trouble." He looked at the ground briefly, before looking back up. "And I'm sorry." He added quickly. Sasuke raised a perfect eyebrow, questioningly.

"For?"

"Hurting your teammate. You must be angry." Gaara said.

"Hell yeah I am." Was what Sasuke wanted to say, but of course he wouldn't step out of his character for this kid. "It's cool, it guess, but technically it's not me who you should be apologizing. I wasn't the one you hurt, am I?" Sasuke settled for, hoping it didn't come out as bad as he wished it too. Gaara looked away again, but didn't meet his eyes anymore.

"Well, is she awake?" He asked. Sasuke smirked, he loved how he could get under someone's skin with a few words here and there.

"Yeah, but before you go, could you bring her this glass of water? She need some and I'm gonna go see if Naruto and Sakura are ok." He lifted the glass up to Gaara's level and the red head took it from him gently, turning back towards the way he came to go to the kitchen. "Oh, and Gaara-sama." Sasuke called out before he was out of sight. Gaara stopped walking and turned his head to look at the Uchiha.

"If you ever hurt my teammates again," Sasuke paused. "Or even put them immediate danger, I will not hesitate to kill you. Tailed beast or not, Kazekage or not." He turned away without waiting for a response and walked around the corner. Gaara's eyes lowered slightly, but he continued walking to the kitchen.

Suki scratched Gaaki-chan's head with his finger lightly, trying not to move much but make the kitten happy. She purred and pushed her head against Suki's hand, making the girl smile.

"Such a pretty, stinky, dirty kitten." Gaaki-chan stopped purring and stood up, staring hardly at Suki. Suki smiled. "Well, you are kind of stinky…and dirty." Gaaki-chan stretched out and fell on her side, letting Suki scratch her head again. The door opened slowly and Suki looked over quickly. "Finally, Sasuke. Took you long enough. Could-" She stopped short when instead of Sasuke standing in the doorway with a glass of water in his hand, it was Gaara.

"Panda-sama." Suki breathed out, a smile taking her lips gently. Gaara bit back his shocked expression and pushed his hand forward, the glass hanging loosely in under his fingers.

"I brought you your water." He mumbled, walking forward. Suki reached up and grabbed the glass out his hand, and placing the rim at her lips. She tried to tilt the cup up slowly, but the water came rushing out anyways. Spilling into he mouth and nose, making her jerk her body forward and bend at her waist. The cup dropped out her hand as she let out a small scream and wrapping her arms around her waist tightly, adding pressure to the broken bones. Gaaki-chan jumped up from her relaxed position and jumped off the bed and ran out the door. Gaara's hands twitched ready to reach forward and hold Suki down but he wasn't sure that it would help her at all. She shook violently, clutching her waist and rolling on her side.

Gaara silently started to panic. What was he supposed to do? He knew the bones wouldn't heal right if she wasn't crouched up like. So, he reached his forward and touched her arm lightly. She jumped and hissed at the pain of the sudden movement.

"No…" She whispered. "Don't touch…me." Gaara bit his bottom lip, but didn't stop. He pulled her onto her back, then started pulling her arms off her waist. She cried out and tried to yank her arms out his grasp.

"Trust me, if you lay still on your back, the bones will heal quicker and in the right place." Gaara said. Suki relaxed under his grip, but winced every time he moved her arms down to her sides then let her go. "Feel better?" He asked. Suki squeezed her eyes shut tightly, then opened them slowly.

"Yes." She drawled. No one spoke for a while, they both laid, and stood, there in comfortable silence. Gaara gazed his eyes over her bandaged body, which he could now see since the covers fell off her upper body. He felt a sting of guilt and moved his eyes off her. He hated the fact he hurt her, he felt like a bad Kazekage and just an all together bad person. Sometimes he wished the Akatsuki would just take him away and rip out the stupid tailed beast out of him, but then again he couldn't let them get what they want.

After another couple of minutes of not speaking, Gaara sat down at the edge of the bed carefully and looked at his knees. Suki blinked up at him. She got a good look at his face now. There was a thick white bandage under his chin with two pieces of tape holding it down and he had a strip of medical tape covering the cut on his cheek Sakura gave him. His skin was a bit paler than usual and his eyes were duller and gave away the tiredness he felt but tried to hide. She fought back the urge to grab his hand and comfort him, but she was afraid he'd push her away.

"I'm sorry." Gaara spit out quietly. Suki pulled her eyebrows up, confused. She hadn't heard what he said.

"Huh?" Gaara sighed and look over at her, but didn't meet her eyes.

"I said I was sorry…about that." He nodded his head to her waist. "I shouldn't of lost control…I shouldn't have hurt you, or Naruto. I just…I'm just an idiot." He mumbled, looking away from her completely and rubbing his eye in frustration. Suki watched him for a moment, before grabbing a hold of his hand, wrapping her small fingers around the back of his hand. Now, was the time to comfort him and she knew he wouldn't push her away.

"Don't worry about me Panda-sama." Gaara locked his jade eyes onto her amethyst colored eyes. "I'm gonna be just fine and as soon as my bones are healed you won't have to worry about me anymore. Anyways, I don't want you to worry about me right now. So please don't put yourself down, I know how it feels to lose control and when you wake up your friends are hurt. I can't let you be upset about something not that important." Suki smiled. Gaara lowered his eyes.

"But…you are important. To a lot of people. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and probably a lot of other people back at Konaha." He paused, unsure if he should go on. "I'm sure even in the short time they've known you Temari and Kankuro think your important to." Suki blushed slightly.

"What about you?" She asked quietly, looking away. "Am I important to you?" Gaara's eyes widened slowly.

"I…um…" He was glad she wasn't looking at him, because his cheeks began to burn and turn pink. "…y-yes," He stuttered out. "Your important to me as well." Suki looked back at him, but he was looking away. She smiled brightly and tightened her grip on his hand.

"Your important to me too Gaara." Gaara turned his head and locked eyes with her. A small smile graced his lips.

"Let me make it up to you." He said a couple seconds later. Suki knitted her eyebrows.

"How?"

"I'll take you out on a date whenever you get better to make it up." Gaara said, his face showing no emotion but hid eyes gave it all away. He was nervous. Suki fought back a blush and smile, turning her face away from him. He wanted to go on a date with her! She was so happy! "If you don't want to…"

"No, no!" Suki said a bit loudly, turning to him quickly. She cried out at the sharp pain in her side. Gaara was watching her curiously, not sure if he should help her or watch her. She sighed and relaxed. "No, I do. I would love to actually." He paused, he hadn't really expected her to actually say yes.

"Well-"

"Wait what's today? Please tell me it's Saturday." Suki said suddenly. Gaara cocked an eyebrow.

"It's the same day. Thursday." He answered her calmly, confused. She groaned.

"I can't believe I lost." She mumbled, rubbing her face gently. Gaara stayed quiet for a second, before letting his curiosity get the best of him.

"Lost what?" He asked. Suki's face turned red and she turned her head away, blocking her face from view.

"Nothing." She lied. Gaara turned to her more, resting his hand on hers, neither noticing.

"Tell me." He said gently. Suki looked over at him, her face still slightly pink.

"Sakura and me betted about…things." She mumbled quietly.

"Things? What kind of things?" Gaara asked. Suki tried to lift her hands and cover her face, but something was holding down her left hand. She looked down at it and blushed even more. Gaara had his hand placed over it, his fingers sitting between hers. She looked up to meet his eyes, but he wasn't looking at her. He was staring at the open window above her bedside, squinting out of it like he seen something.

"Panda-sama." She mumbled quietly, trying to get his attention. Gaara's eyes lowered more.

"Did you hear that?" He asked, still focusing on the widow or whatever lay beyond it. Suki looked up, trying to see out it but couldn't since she was laying down. Her eyes locked onto Gaara's face and they sat in silence, both trying to listen to any noise that caught their attention.

"Pan-" After a couple of minutes Suki started but was interrupted when a crash was heard and a female scream. Gaara shot up immediately, moving over to the window to look out of it. With Gaara being the Kazekage, he was worried by the fact that one of his villagers were hurt, or being hurt.

The door banged open and Sasuke ran in, stopping by Suki's bed side. Gaara turned around to meet his eyes and they stared at each other for a moment, tension settling thickly in the room. Sasuke stepped his foot forward and it crunched on something. Him and Gaara looked down at the broken glass that used to be the cup Suki had. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the Kazekage threateningly, looking over at Suki then back to him.

"What happened? Was that you who just screamed?" He asked directing his questions to Suki, but still kept his eyes trained on Gaara's. If he had hurt Suki again, the red head was about to get his death wish granted.

"Nothing, I tried to drink the cup and it fell out my hands." Suki answered, leaving the part about her screaming and curling up in a ball due to the pain in her waist. She knew it would worry Sasuke too much. "And that was a while ago, we heard the crash and scream too but don't know where it came from."

"So, you can stop glaring at me now." Gaara added venom dripping in his words. Sasuke deepened his glared.

"Or what?" The Uchiha asked angrily. Suki felt the tension in the room thicken more and she switched her eyes between the two boys in front of her worriedly. Gaara remained silent, just testing the temper of the Uchiha, which remained in place for a minute. "Well, answer me." Sasuke snapped. Gaara blinked, bored at Sasuke's feeble attempted to imitated him. It wasn't happening. Sasuke scoffed and waved his hand, looking down at Suki. "You ok?" He asked. She nodded slowly.

"I'm fine." Sasuke shot Gaara one last glare, before nodding back at Suki then retreating out the room, closing the door behind him. Gaara snorted and turned back to look out the window, he was still curious about the noises he heard before the Uchiha came. "Panda-sama…" Suki trailed off.

"I'd rather you say Chan than Sama." Gaara stated. "If you like, I just don't want you to feel like you have to be formal with me all the time." He said, Suki blushed. She hated how he could make her blush even when he wasn't trying.

"Ok Panda-chan." She tested out the sound of it and smiled. Gaara sighed and backed away from the window, sitting back down at the edge of his bed.

"Are you gonna go to sleep anytime soon?" He asked, looking over at her. Suki shrugged, which was slightly painful.

"I might." She said. Gaara opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it not sure if he should say what he wanted to. Suki noticed this though she kept her mouth shut, not wanting to embarrass him. They sat in a comfortable silence, before Gaara decided to say what he wanted to say.

"Do you want me to stay in here until you go to sleep?" He asked politely. Suki looked away and bit her lip trying to fight off a blush.

"But don't you need to sleep?" She questioned looking at him. He met her eyes.

"No, I don't sleep much. If you want me to I will." He said. Suki bit down harder on her lip, but answered none the less.

"I-I.." She stuttered awkwardly, then took a breath to calm herself. "I would like that." She smiled. Gaara let a small smile take his lips, but it dropped when she scooted over a bit, making herself wince.

"What are you doing?" His face turning into a look of curiosity. She blushed red, not being able to hold it back anymore.

"Um…I feel weird if you just sitting there…and I can't sleep when I'm uncomfortable…" She paused. "So…can you lay down…next to me?" She asked, looking up at him. On the inside Gaara was completely shocked, but he kept his cool and stoic face on the outside and laid down stiffly next to her, their shoulders and arms touching since the bed was so small. "Do you need more room?" Suki asked, making a move to shift over, but Gaara grabbed her hand as he started to relax.

"No, it's fine." He mumbled, not letting go of her hand. Suki watched him close his eyes and relax completely. She looked down at her hand that he held gently in his, his fingers wrapped around hers sweetly, making her face turn pink. She scooted closer and held his hand as well.

"Thank you, Panda-chan." She whispered, closing her eyes as well. Gaara grunted in response and rested next to her.

Sakura sighed and took the clip out her hair as she walked down the hall back to her room. She was tired, very tired. Working on Naruto was a exhausting job, she had been working for hours on end trying to expand his rib cage back to its normal size. Which she did. Luckily none of his lungs were punctured and he would be perfectly fine when he woke up in the morning, except for some slight pain.

Poor Suki had it tough, Naruto's arms being at his sides kept to impact from being to deadly. Suki's on the other hand was worse, two ribs were cracked, but Sakura was able to fix them and they would heal the rest of the way as long as she didn't move around too much.

The pinkette sighed again and pushed open her door, only to be met with the cutest sight ever. Gaara had arm wrapped around Suki's shoulders, his hand holding hers and she had her head laying on his chest. Both had their eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping. Sakura held back a squeal and walked over to bed so she could go to sleep as well. There was a rustle on Suki's bed and she turned around to see Gaara sitting up. He slowly let go of Suki's hand and laid it on her side, then he lifted her head, sat up and laid it back on the pillow. He sat at the edge of her bed for a moment, staring at her, then moved his gaze over to Sakura.

"How is Naruto?" He asked. Sakura pursed her lips.

"He'll be fine, everything's working and nothings badly broken or broken at all." She answered. Gaara nodded and stood up from her bed, scratching his head.

"She wanted me to lay with her until she fell asleep, but I just waited until you got here so she wasn't alone. I think that was the main reason she wanted me to stay." He said. Sakura nodded and smiled slightly.

"For someone who tries to keep it all inside, she's easier to read than an open book isn't she?" She asked, looking over at Suki's sleeping form. Gaara looked at her too and nodded.

"Yeah she is." He mumbled, then looked back over to Sakura. "What did you guys bet on?" He asked. Sakura locked eyes with his, raised her eyebrows.

"Bet…?" She whispered to herself before remembering the bet her and Suki made. "Oh yeah! I bet that you would ask her out on a date before Friday."

"Aah." Gaara inwardly smirked.

"Why?"

"Because I did, and she mentioned something about a bet but wouldn't tell me." He said. Sakura grinned happily.

"You did?" She was literally vibrating from all the excitement, but she calmed down after a second. "Well, that's very good for you to. I guess I'll see you in the morning, Gaara-sama." Sakura bowed. Gaara bowed back lightly, then left the room. Sakura beamed at Suki, even though she didn't know and shook her head. "They are so cute together." She mumbled, before shutting out the light and crawling into bed.

How was it? Horrible?

Geart?

Needs work?

Review and tell me plleasseee! :)

Chapter 3:
