Hey, not a lot to say. ( CHINA TOWN ON FRIDAY XD! I'll tell you all how that went. Anyways, enjoy the lovely piece of crap I like to call a story. Please review to, I really really like reviews.
Sakura let out a small gasp, not in shock but in admiration. She sat up so she could get a better look at his chest. "It's beautiful." Sakura said quietly. "Pardon?" Gaara asked sitting up more. "Why are you ashamed of this, I wouldn't be?" She asked looking back into Gaaras' eyes. "Because, doing something like this is bad. I only did it cause at the time I wanted to punish myself for things that were out of my control. I stopped doing in awhile ago but they're taking a long time to heal. Longer then I would have wanted. I have a lot of things on my mind, this was just how I chose to express myself." He explained looking down at the scars with an actually hint of emotion in his eyes. "I tried doing something like that. However, it failed miserably." She told him pulling her skirt down a little to show an extremely tiny very roughly etched out cherry blossom. "It's pretty old, just the rough marks of it now. I did that when I was only 12." She explained. "I've stopped though, now I do tattoos." Gaara explained lifting his bangs up to show the little red Kanji charm for Love Sakura hadn't noticed before. "That's really cool." Sakura said with a hint of amazement to her voice. "I've stopped to, sometimes I find myself stabbing my hand with a needle but...I guess old habits die hard right?" She continued smiling up at Gaara. "Hm, don't know if that's good for you or not, but it's better then fully pulling out a razor and hacking at your arms." He joked beginning to button up his shirt. This cause Sakuras gaze to follow his hands making her blush at the site of his muscular body. "Don't think dirty thoughts, Don't think dirty thoughts, Don't think dirty thoughts, Don't think dirty thoughts, Don't think dirty thoughts, Don't think dirty thoughts." She let out a small giggle without even realizing it and rolled off Gaara and onto the side of the bed next to him.
"You okay?" He asked as he finished buttoning up his shirt and started on his difficult tie. "I hate these things." He told her looking over at the blushing Sakura. "Your face matches the color of your hair." He pointed out and Sakura started giggling harder. "Oh, wow. I'm on a bed with a girl...Don't think dirty thoughts, don't think dirty thoughts, don't think dirty thoughts, don't think dirty thoughts." Gaara thought as he could feel he's cheeks also turning a light shade of pink. "Sorry, for my random out burst of laughter." Sakura said in a serious tone. There were a few moments of silence before both of them started laughing for no apparent reason. "Gaara." Sakura suddenly said as they both stopped laughing. "Yes?" Gaara asked looking into Sakuras eyes. "Um." She started but was cut off her bedroom door swinging open and her mother standing in the doorway. "Hm, no surprise there." Her mom said simply shutting the door behind her and stomping down the hallway. "Ugh, I hate her!" Sakura screamed into a pillow.
"Bad relationship?" Gaara asked leaning against the headboard for support. "No bad "reputation" apparently." Sakura responded also leaning against the headboard with her arms crossed over her chest and a pout on her face. "Oh, so I've heard correctly?" Gaara asked looking at the sulking girl. "Well, apparently yes. Whoever started that, probably got there facts from my mother. My mother who is so obsessed with where she stands in society she'll say anything to make our lives seem more and more like a soap opera. Sluttish daughter, high ratings right?" Sakura asked as she stood up and beginning to pace. "You know, sometimes I really hate that woman, and I bet she probably got my step sister to spread the rumor about me at school. I'm starting to think that she really is out to get me." She ranted on for about 10 minutes meanwhile the only thoughts going through Gaaras mind were "Damn she looks cute when she's angry." When Sakura had finally stopped after asking Gaara if he agreed all he did was stand up from the bed walk over to the angry looking girl and gave her a small kiss on his cheek. "Yes, I agree." He smiled looking at the now shocked girl. He was kind of shocked himself but had grown very good at hiding his emotions. The minute his lips touched Sakuras' soft cheek he felt warmth spread through out his whole body, nothing he had ever felt before. "I wouldn't worry about your step sister to much, if you want to get back at her you should talk to Ino. Ino is the queen at getting back at people, and if your step sister is who I think she is then Ino's had quite the past with her." Gaara told the now sitting Sakura. "How should I get in contact with her, I know she has an email but I haven't had time to ask anyone for there's.' Sakura responded looking up at Gaara. "Just walk across the street." Gaara said simply offering a hand to Sakura. She grabbed his hand and together they links arms. "Wait, can I change first?" Sakura asked looking over at the clock, she hadn't realized how much time had passed by during her rant but she had wasted a good hour and a half. "Sure, meet me at my house in 10." He said and with that he walked over to the window and gave Sakura another small kiss on the cheek and left her room leaving her shocked again.
"I have never felt something like that before! That was the greatest feeling ever!" Sakura exclaimed happily in her mind as she walked into her closet and pulled off her uniform and stepped into some black jeans and a blue tank top. She pulled on an old ballet sweater and was out the door and down in the kitchen before she knew it. "Mom, I'm going to a friend's house, but before I left I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words you chose to describe me. I've made a lot of male friends that are willing to pay for a slut like me" Sakura explained putting emphases on the word slut. She turned on her heel and before her mom could say anything she was out the kitchen door and on her way out of the house. Luckily on her way out she got to see her lovely step sister she liked to call the B.B.B or the beach blonde bitch. "Hello loving sister!" Sakura exclaimed walking over to the scared looking girl. "Oh. Hi." B.B.B said quietly avoiding her gaze. "I'd just like to thank you for making sure the reputation my mother made for me was well known through out the school." Sakura joked. "Uh, you're welcome?" The girl asked with a confused look on her face. Sakura just laughed and ran out the front door.
As Sakura made her way to Gaaras house she thought about how good it would feel to get back at her "loving" step sister. "Hey Cutie." A voice from Gaaras' front porch called. "Hi, Kankurou." She greeted forcing herself to give him a small smile. She rang the doorbell ignoring the fact the Kankurou could have just opened the door for her and had the door opened by a familiar blonde. "Hey Sakura!" Temari exclaimed happily which was shocking for Sakura considering what the blonde had said to her last time they spoke. Clearly Gaara had made her have a change of heart. As Temari called up to her brother Sakura noticed a few key differences between the two houses. The biggest one being a large chandelier that took over all the space on the ceiling. She hadn't noticed this before clearly because she had come in through the back door and didn't get the knock out blinding you get when you come threw the front door on a sunny day, the orange sun had reflected off every piece of glass and gave the entire house a mystical feeling, it looked as though it was underwater in the way the light bounced around. "Let's get going." A male voice said from behind Sakura. "I really like your chandelier." Sakura said turning around to face Gaara. "Thanks, I think it's a bit showy but all in all the effect is nice." He said smiling. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the door. "Ino doesn't live far, so we shouldn't be long." He told Kankurou and headed down the porch pulling Sakura behind. "She actually is just a few blocks away." He told her letting go of her arm but instead holding on to her hand. Sakura could feel herself blushing and she let out a small giggle as they turned the corner.
When they reached Ino's house they saw her sitting on the front step with Kiba, the two were making out completely oblivious to the world around them. "Hey guys!" Sakura exclaimed taking a seat next to the two love birds and putting an arm around them. Ino looked over and glared at the two of them. "What do you want from me!" She exclaimed putting her head in her hands in an overdramatic manor. "I need you to help me get revenge on a certain beach blonde." Sakura said smiling over at Gaara and at Inos realization. "You mean!" She exclaimed looking angrier by the second. "Yep, she started all the rumours about me. She's also unfortunatly my step sister." Sakura explained looking at the angry girl. "I hate that bitch!" Ino screamed standing up and walking in her house. The three teens sitting on the porch exchanged glances and followed after her. "Wait your step sister Emily Haren?" Kiba asked as he climbed the stairs to Inos room. "Yeah, what kind of past does Ino have with her that's making her so angry?" Sakura asked as they reached the top of the stairs and walked down the hall into Inos room. "Well, you'd have to go back a long long time. Back when Dinosaurs ruled the earth!" Kiba joked causing Ino to hit the poor boy. "Well it's nice of you to ask, actually it was back when we were about 5 and had just started scho-" Ino started but Kiba cut her off by putting a hand over her mouth and saying "To make a nice long story short and save us 10 hours, Ino and her were best friends up until highschool and then Emily got her drunk at a party ruined Ino's reputation and stole all her friends thus becoming the queen of Beverly Hills Private School." He finished taking his hand of Ino's mouth and giving her a small kiss on the lips. "Wow, she really is evil, and here I thought Sakura was the spawn of satan." Gaara joked making Sakura make a face much like O.O. "Yeah, well compared to Emily, Sakura is a little baby devil running around with a big pitch fork." Ino explained grabbing a small note book and opening it to a blank page.
"Wow, your very serious about getting her back." Sakura said after three hours and two microwavable pizzas later. They had a plan of action but it couldn't start taking effect for another month. "It has to be, that's when she got me. It's only fair." Ino had said when they first started there planning. "This is going to be great. Now the only problem is going to be how to shake my reputation." Sakura thought outloud causing the three to look at her. "I wouldn't really worry about it. Most things at our school pass over in a week or so." Gaara explained putting an arm around Sakura. "I mean you could always join the dance team." Kiba joked causing Ino to hit him. "Hey! I'm on the dance team, and so are the other girls, you better watch what you say mister." She scolded. Gaara's cell phone started ringing while Ino and Sakura went over the plan one last time. "Hey guys, I gotta get going. Sakura wanna walk with me?" Gaara suddenly asked stopping the conversation between Ino and Sakura. "Uh yeah sure." She answered getting off Inos bed and saying goodbye to the two.
On the walk home Gaara and her had discussed this plan and the actual possibilitie that Sakura should join the dance team. "It would give you something to do after school, plus if you've had dancing experience by the looks of your sweater you should be pretty good. Bring something new to the table." Gaara explained looking boredly ahead. "Are you on any teams?" She asked looking at the boy who had a slight look of worry on his face. "Yeah actually, three. Naruto is on pretty much any team available to our grade and Kiba is only on one." He responded. "What teams?" "Volley Ball, Lacrosse and Hockey. I try to avoid football, I don't know how I'd feel about running around a field wearing spandex pants and slapping my team mates butts." He joked making Sakura giggle abit. "Never thought of it that way." She smiled making Gaara look at her again. "You have a really nice smile." He said stopping and turning to look at her. "Thanks." Sakura stated turning to look at the boy. "Why are we stopping?" She asked looking around only to realize she was infront of her house. "Oh right, this-would-be-my-house." she answered her own question and turned to look at Gaara again. "See you tomorrow." They both said in unison, looking up at the other. They quickly hugged and Sakura made her way to her front door, while Gaara made his way to his.
"What took you so long Gaara!? You know we couldn't leave without you! If Dad's dead your going to regret it." Scolded Temari who practically ran the boy over when he got through the door. The three teens had gotten used to calls from their Dads "friends" telling them that there father could possibly die, but they always felt that small tinge of worry. Their father didn't engage in normal jobs, in fact their father was a well known mob boss across the country. The children had to take there mothers last name and people rarely saw their father to begin with, so no one ever really realized it. The teens had not been able to tell there friends so when they randomly disapeared off the face of the planet for a few days everyone took to worrying. One time Naruto had the police looking for them which had caused quite the problem for both the teens and their father. They couldn't take him to the hospital for more obvious reasons so they had to usually "steal" a nurse or two and silence them afterwards.
Anyways back to Sakura, who was completely oblivious to the world around her at the moment. She felt as though she was in a dream world, nothing bad could penetrate. She didn't really know why this sudden burst of happiness had happened but she had a feeling that it had something to do with the hug that lit up her world only a few moments ago. However her dream world was suddenly disrupted by a loud knock on the door of her bedroom. She glared at the door with eyes that could probably burn through the entire house but she reluctantly got up and answered it. Her mom was on the other side of the door and swiftly walked into the room having a seat on Sakuras bed, as she sat she motion for Sakura to take a seat next to her by patting the spot on the bed next to her. Sakura shook her head in rebellion and just shut the door and leaned against it. "What do you want?" She asked glaring at her mother. "I just wanted to apoligize about my actions earlier, I wanted you to know that I didn't tell Emily anything against you, but I think she overheard my conversation with your step Dad." She started looking into Sakuras eyes with Sadness. "I was saying to him how much you had already change, and how I knew you weren't going to carry on a reputation that you held back in New York." She continued with the same sadness. "That still doesn't explain how the principal heard about my "reputation"." Sakura cut in finally taking a seat next to her mom. "Yes it does, that wasn't me on the phone. I only "left" a note saying to go see the principal, I never ever would do something like that to you. Especially considering this move was supposed to be helping you." Her mom cried putting her head in her hands. "Then what about what you said when Gaara was in my room?" Sakura snapped sitting up straighter and crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, maybe you could consider the fact that you were home early and I was already in a bad work from work. Sakura I have feelings to you have to realize I will say things I regret. By now you should know that, especially since your older now." Her mom snapped back. There was an awkward silence followed by a loud sigh from both of them. Sakura looked at her mom and her mom looked back at her. "I'm sorry." They both said in unison and hugged in a tight embrace. Sakura didn't want to waste her energy being mad at her mom. She knew in the end she'd be the one looking after her poor naive mother and that stupid step sister wasn't going to get in the way of her mother and her's relationship.
Sorry if this is short, but this chapter litterally almost killed me to get out. And also I was typing most of it at my boyfriends house, so with him spilling juice all over my, being "In my box" and playing DDR, I had a few distractions.
