Chapter Four

Gaara felt warm-very warm. He liked the warmth, it calmed him, it felt so good against his naturally cold body. He felt energized, he actually felt strong. He was strong, and had always been strong. But at that moment he really felt it. If this is what sleep did, he couldn't wait to sleep tonight too. Sunlight filtered through the open windows of his office; he sighed just realizing the down side to his wonderful sleeping experience. He was so comfortable, he did not want to get up.

Gaara thought back to the precious day, smiling- actually smiling. Sabuko no Gaara was happy, and so many things about that previous day made him actually smile. He continued running through the events until he reached the part where he fell asleep. Sakura was with him when he fell asleep. Did that mean she was with him now ?

He shot his eyelids open, searching for her. He did not need to search far, for immediately he saw a pretty pink haired medic asleep on his chest. He knew why he felt so warm now, and he had absolutely no intention of moving. She had obviously fallen asleep sometime after he did, and drifted down on to the couch beside him.

Her arm was loosely tied around his waist. Her head was rested on his chest, and her leg was tightly hitched around his waist. He gazed at her, taking in every part of her beautiful face.

Shukaku started laughing, "Haha, Gaara, you spoke to while you slept. Gosh you make me sick." Shukaku made a gagging noise, "Eww, you were so lovey-dovey..."

Gaara blushed, but did not respond to the perverted Shukaku. It was best he just let him talk.

Shukaku, "Ok Gaara. I've had enough of your gazing, she's asleep! Kiss her, you want to, I can tell. She'd never know... and you want to kiss her so badly."

Gaara growled at the Shukaku, nobody talked about his Sakura like that. Well, she wasn't his, but it did not matter. He could not tell her, but he wanted her to be his; and even though he had no idea what love was, he had a feeling that he was feeling it for her.

He began gazing at her again, he rolled over lightly so he was more comfortable on his side. She remained sleeping, but her back was now pressed against the couch. He growled again, but to himself this time, Shukaku was right. He wanted to kiss her, and to hold her. He wanted to gaze and her for hours on end and never look away. It wasn't his fault, she was beautiful, and interesting, and tempting to him.

He whispered her name softly, "Sakura..." Cold, sweet breath blew on her face and she moaned lightly in response. He gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists- he would not give in to her tempting ways, and Shukaku's ideas. Never.

Though, he brought himself closer to her; he pressed his cold body against her warm body seeking her warmth again. The minute he felt the heat radiating off of her, he pressed himself eagerly to her, wanting to share every little ray of warmth she had with her. He could feel every line of her body against hers, and she seemed to respond well and burrowed her head into the crook of his neck. To his great surprise she whispered his name, into the crook of his neck, making him shudder.

His body became rigid, she was awake. She had been awake since he whispered her name. Gaara relaxed slightly, "Sakura, I know you're awake."

He shook her head no into his neck, "Nooo, I am not awake. If I was awake you wouldn't be holding me. Please stop talking, I'm enjoying my dream..." She continued to mumble against his skin.

He chuckled lightly and lifted a finger and lightly put his finger under her chin tilting her head up to look at him. He gazed into the whirl pools that she called eyes and without looking away spoke again, "Sakura, you're not sleeping." She mumbled no again into the crook of his neck. He sighed in frustration, "Sakura, what can I do to show you that you are indeed awake."

She became stiff very quickly as he spoke and shuddered. The frustration in his voice was real. She was being held by Gaara, and she was awake. It was no dream, and he was still holding her. He opened her eyes, squinting against the bright light.

He looked down at her, smirking at her dazed expression. She was awake, and she was not fighting his hold on her. And she was happy to rest her head in the crook of his neck, Gaara wasn't sure how to stop himself anymore. He bent his head slowly pressing his lips lightly to hers.

He pulled back quickly though, never having been that close to any human at any time in his life except birth. She smiled at him, emotion soaring through her eyes showing everything like open windows. He smirked and sat up bringing her to a sitting position too.

Sakura blushed and looked away, "Gaara, you're probably aware that I don't let people in easily ever since... anyways, I think I'd like to get to know you..." She blushed and shuffled her feet looking at the ground. She wasn't really sure if he understood her, but he had kissed her right? Didn't that mean that he liked her?

"I understand. I may understand more than anyone what it feels like to not have anyone to let in. If it makes any sense to you I'd like to let you in. I don't understand what I'm feeling, but I like it; and I-i want to... I want to be with you. I want to feel like this every day... and I don't think I'd feel like this with anyone other than you."

He stood up, and held out his hand, "Sakura, you don't have to take my hand. But all I'm saying is that I'd like to love you. And I think I already do."

Sakura took his hand the moment it was extended, and bent her lips to his ear, "Sabuko no Gaara, I think I already love you too." She smiled brightly, and he smirked at her words. He would have smiled, but he was Gaara. He was still afraid to get broken and he didn't want to show to many emotions in-case he did.

"Sakura, I think we should probably leave the office now...it's about 12:00 noon. I'll take you to wear you will be staying." He picked up her bags and motioned for her to follow him. They walked down the hallways of the Kazekage building. Apparently it was MUCH bigger than she thought. He stayed quiet for most of the walk but she did not mind, he was Gaara after all. Though he occasionally briefed her on the life styles of Suna, "... and I think maybe we should lend you some of Temari's clothes until you get your own for the stay. It's important you're dressed appropriately for the weather in Suna."

She nodded but kept quiet as well, smiling all the way, just glad to be at his side. They finally reached a separate wing of the building, and he opened the door for her. Both Sand siblings looked up up when the door opened.

Kankouru didn't look up from the T.V as he spoke, "We were wondering when you would get home."

Temari did look up and saw Sakura, she immediately ran up to her and took her in a bone crushing hug, "Welcome Sakura! I've been waiting for you!"

Sakura smiled, "Hey Temari, long time no see!" She smiled at Kankouro too, as he looked up to see her.

Kankouro scratched the back his head nervously and winked, "Well, welcome to your temporary home."

Sakura smiled and looked up at Gaara. She nodded, home sweet home.

Ok!
