"So Gaara, how was training?" Gaara looked at Temari confused. Sakura noticed this and squeezed his hand. He took it as a sign and went with it
"It was fine." He answered gruffly. Temari tried a different approach.
"What time did you find Sakura?" Sakura quickly outlined the number 12.
"12:00 at night, why?" Temari stared into his eyes.
"Just wondering," they ate, and left. They were walking through town when Gaara suddenly had an idea.
"I just remembered Sakura, I have your schedule and I need to go over a few things with you before you start teaching tomorrow." Temari just raised an eyebrow, and the two left. As they were walking to the tower, Sakura decided to start conversation.
"So Gaara, do you care when Naruto comes?" Gaara looked over at her.
"Not at all, I actually kind of missed the two of you."
"What?"
"Well remember after the rescue mission you two got to stay here for a month?"
"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"
"Believe it or not, I remember you following Naruto and I around, and Temari as well; you would talk occasionally, and the more you talked the closer I wanted to get to know you. You understood Naruto, so I wondered if you would understand me, but I was scared of rejection to actually talk to you."
"So you're saying that you watched me when you were around Naruto?" Gaara's face started to turn red, and he looked away quickly.
"No," Sakura started to smirk.
"Then what was it?"
"An observation."
"Sure, sure, whatever you call it." Gaara huffed and walked into his office. He sat in his chair, while Sakura pulled up one to sit next to him. He grabbed a scroll and handed it to her.
"You will be teaching on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, if you have any problems with them at all, come see me, I will deal with them." Sakura nodded her head and started looking over the scroll.
"The building will be at the other end of the street; it has a red roof, so you shouldn't miss it." Sakura nodded again, but kept her head down. Gaara couldn't seem to take his eyes off of her face. He didn't understand this instant attraction to her; now that he thought about it, his body reacted like this the last time she was here. He gently cupped her face and leaned down, capturing her lips in a slow kiss. Sakura enjoyed every moment of it, until there was a knock on the door, before it opened. Luckily they pulled away before that person walked in.
"Kankurou how was the mission?" Sakura's face was scarlet, but Gaara paid no attention to it. Kankurou however did.
"I couldn't gather any information on the Akatsuki." Gaara nodded his head and wrote something down on a scroll. Kankurou looked over at Sakura.
"Hey pinky, long time no see." Sakura just smile at him.
"Yes, I do believe it has been."
