Ok first thing. I'm incredibly sorry for how long it took me to write and upload this, I shall try my best to write and upload more often and as quickly as I can :) hope you like this chapter I made it really long to make up for not updating quicker!


When Sakura got home she went straight to her room and fell backwards onto her bed. 'Well... that was an eventful day' she turned to her side to look at a picture of her and her friends looking at one specific person 'Ever since I last saw him I swore to myself I'll never date again but now I'm not sure... I wonder if Kiba really is interested in me... No, he can't be. Gaara is just playing with my mind' she frowned 'he does my head in and great, I just remembered that I have to start those stupid sessions with him tomorrow.' She screamed into her pillow with frustration til she ran out of breath then led there on her bed 'I don't want to go in tomorrow' she thought slowly falling into a deep sleep.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Click*

Sakura slowly opened her eyes to find out that she had fallen asleep in her normal attire and was half on and half off the bed 'man... I must have been really tired,
this is the first time in years I've woken up like this' she thought sliding off the bed to go into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

As Sakura got changed she glanced over at her clock and sighed in relief 'I still have an hour and a half til I start' she mumbled as she made her way to the kitchen to make her tea when her door bell rang.

Frowning she stormed to her door and opened it to find a very happy blonde in the doorway "Goooooood morning Sakura!" ... "What do you want Naruto?" she said unamused "I was wondering..." he said slowly stopping midway into a daydream

"Yes? Wondering? At least finish your sentence before going off into your own world Naruto!" She shouted hitting him on the head

"Ow! Sorry Sakura, but you didn't need to hit me!" He moaned rubbing his head

"Whatever come in anyway I don't have loads of time, I do have work in" she leaned over to look at the clock "an hour" she stated

"oh ok, I was wondering if there are any jobs going at your place? And..." "And?" she interrupted "...if I could possibly come in with you today?" he said pleading with puppy dog eyes.

"I dunno..." She mumbled

"Dunno about what? About the jobs? Or coming in?" He said tilting his head to the side with confusion

"oh umm both really. I haven't heard anything about any jobs available but I suppose, if you come in with me and confront Tsunade my boss about any jobs you'll find out then"

"That sounds great Sakura!" He said excitedly giving her a big hug

"ok, ok, Naruto let go. Well we better make our way anyway, in case of traffic. I'll drive" she said walking out of the house "you coming or not? I do need to lock up you know." She stated with annoyance

"oh right yeah" he said chuckling while running out as she locked the door behind him "let's so" he said with a big grin as they got into the car and drove off.

"I just realized Naruto, why are you looking for a job? You own a gym" Sakura asked while driving

"Yeah I know, I just want to do something else as well and I was thinking of a security guarding job, then I thought of your place. Wouldn't it be great Sakura?"

"What would be great?"

"Me? You? Working together at the same place? We could see each other every day!" He said making himself get even more excited

"Woah calm down Naruto and I don't think we would see each other much there even if you were to end up becoming a security guard there" she said calmly 'oh god. Oh god please don't let there be any jobs, let alone security guarding jobs, that's the last thing I need right now, working with him' she thought making herself feel depressed.


"Hey Sakura is this the place?"

"No Naruto, that's why I parked in the place's car park and began walking towards it" she said sarcasticly

"Alright Sakura, calm down" he said walking through the doors into the building.

"Good morning Sakura" Hinata said with her sweet smiles

"WOAH! WHERE DID SHE COME FROM!" Naruto said jumping a mile

"Naruto! Quieten down! She was there the whole time, you just weren't concentrating" she glared at him then turned to Hinata who was completely puzzled "Good morning Hinata, this is Naruto but just ignore him, he's an idiot, pretend he isn't even here" she said smiling then dragging Naruto to Tsunade's office.

"That wasn't very nice of you Sakura, now she probably thinks I'm weird" Naruto sulked as they walked into Tsunade's office

"You are weird, get over it. Good morning Tsunade" Sakura ended with a grin

"Ah good morning Sakura, now who is this handsome young man with you?" she said looking towards Naruto

"Hi there ma'am, I'm Naruto" he said giving her his biggest grins "I came here to see if you have any jobs going here? I'm more after something security guard based jobs mainly"

"Hello Naruto, I like your attitude, we need more people like you here, unfortunately we don't have any jobs open at the moment but I don't see any problem with taking you on anyway, it would only mean a few more paper works and seeing as you're a friend of Sakura gives me more confidence in you" she said smiling looking towards Sakura who was showing a face of disbelief 'are you serious? Just like that, Naruto is working here'

"Yes! Get in! This is great! Right Sakura? When do I start?" he said leaning on Tsunade's desk with determination in his eyes.

"Is today alright?"

"DEFINITELY!" He shouted with excitement

"Fantastic, Sakura?" She said clicking her fingers in front of Sakura to get her attention

"Huh? Wa? Oh sorry Tsunade what was that?"

"Are you alright Sakura? You seemed lost" she said raising an eyebrow

"Yes! Yes I'm fine" she smiled 'oh god I can't believe I have to work with him, he's so annoying. I love him to bits, but he really is so annoying' she thought to herself

"That's alright then. Sakura, can you show Naruto around while I get some files and the things he needs together?"

"Sure, but what about Gaara?" Sakura asked 'this is great! I can skip his morning session' her face lit up with happiness

"Oh that's fine, we'll just postpone his morning session and do it as soon as you're finished" Tsunade said with a smile 'Great... I know I shouldn't get my hopes up'
she thought as her face turned gloomy

"Ok then Tsunade, we'll be back as soon as we're finished" she smiled as she dragged Naruto out of the office.


During the morning Sakura showed Naruto where the patient's rooms are, the cafeteria and everywhere else in the building. As they began to make their way back they bumped into Kiba.

"Oh good morning Kiba" Sakura smiled

"Good morning Sakura, you're looking as beautiful as always" he said with a wink

"Oh umm thank you Kiba, that's very kind of you" she smiled again noticing Naruto glaring at Kiba in the corner of her eye 'oh god no Naruto, don't you dare'

Naruto turned to Sakura and gave her a big hug "Sakuraaa where were you taking me again? Oh yeah we were going to see Tsunade weren't we?" He smirked. Kiba then grabbed her hand and put his arm around her waist "oh Tsunade's office is straight down this hall, you don't need Sakura to show you" Kiba said smirking, next thing Sakura knew Naruto had hold of one of her hands and Kiba had the other and where having a glaring battle.

"Ok... Sorry Kiba, Tsunade told me I had to show Naruto around and then bring him back" she said with a nervous smile

"Oh I see" Kiba said with a sad face, Sakura turned to see Naruto grinning

"That's right Kiba now I'll be taking my Sakura with me now" Naruto said pulling Sakura out of Kiba's hands

"Your Sakura? Since when was she your property" Kiba said angrily

"Come on guys! Calm down! I'm no one's property" Sakura stated trying to calm the two men down, failing miserably. Sighing she turned to make sure that no one was here to see the embarrassing scene but unfortunately there happened to be one person who was leaning against the wall watching and looked pretty amused by the whole scenario 'Gaara' she thought in shock 'seriously?' he stood straight and walked towards the three.

"She is mine!" Naruto shouted

"As if you weird freak! She's mine!" Kiba shouted back

"I'll have you know, from these hours she is mine" Gaara said walking up to Sakura, grabbing her arm and dragging her away from the two men as they watched in shock.

Watching Sakura get dragged away Naruto huffed with annoyance "Great... Thanks to you she's gone"

"Thanks to me? It's your fault more like!" Kiba shouted back

They both glared at each other with crossed arms then stormed in opposite directions to where they have to go.


"Umm thanks Gaara for saving me from them" Sakura said nervously

"Hmph" he nodded as they were walking towards the room they had to go for the session 'I wonder if Naruto got to Tsunade alright...' she thought to herself 'wait... did gaara say that I was 'his'? Oh wait no, he said these hours as in his doctor haha how silly of me to think that' she shook her head chuckling at her stupidity as they reached the room they were walking to and went in. There were three chairs and a desk in the room and a large window on the other side of the room, 'not very much in here' she thought looking around the room 'then again it is a tiny room'.

Gaara walked straight in and sat on the window sill and looked outside as Sakura sat on one of the chairs and leaned her two elbows on the desk.

"So Gaara, what did the other doctors talk to you about in the sessions?" Sakura asked

"This and that, nothing of importance" he said still looking out the window

"Well that's not very helpful Gaara" Sakura frowned at him as he turned to look at her with a smirk

"Oh dear, I'm annoying the little girl already?"

"excuse me? Back to the little girl thing again?" She rolled her eyes and looked at the sky out the window

Frowning at her he jumped down from the window sill and sat directly in front of her

"Aww didn't give you the response you wanted Gaara?" She said smirking

"watch your tongue" he spat

And she did the worst thing she could of ever done. She laughed. The next thing she knew she was pinned up against the wall by a very angry Gaara.

"C-c-calm down Gaara" Sakura stuttered completely terrified

"Aww, have I scared my little doctor?" he grinned evilly gripping her wrists even tighter

yelping from the pain she turned her head avoiding eye contact "as if I'm scared of you" she said trying to release herself from his grip

He leaned forward "oh really?" he whispered into her ear making her shiver, seeing her quiver underneath him made him chuckle. He eventually let go and took a step back leaving Sakura frozen in place staring at him in disbelief. Glancing over at the clock he looked back at Sakura "looks like the session is over Sa-ku-ra" he grinned then turned away and walked out of the room.

"Oh my god..." Sakura mumbled to herself in horror 'I as she slowly slid down the wall to sit on the floor will definitely not do that again... But if I do, at least I know what will happen and get ready for it' she thought 'I better get up and sort out Gaara's medication... Oh my god! And Naruto! I need to find Naruto and see what's going on!"
She jumped up from where she was sat and ran out the room and towards Tsunade's office 'she will know where Naruto is' she thought making her way there.


She finally reached Tsunade's office to find out that everything was sorted and Naruto left 'great... I didn't even get to say bye' she mumbled miserably to herself 'I better go to the cafeteria to get my lunch, I'm actually pretty hungry' she thought rubbing her stomach as it rumbled.

As she entered the cafeteria she noticed Tenten walking towards a table to each her lunch on her own so Sakura ran to join her "hey Tenten! I haven't seen you in a while" she said with a grin.

"Oh hey Sakura" she smiled "yeah I've been pretty busy, several pain in the ass patients" she laughed

"Yeah I know how that feels alright"

"Oh yeah! How is everything going with Gaara?"

"Yeah it's going fine, he hasn't scared me away yet"

"That's good to hear, oh look it's Kiba. HEY KIBA! WE'RE OVER HERE!" Tenten shouted as Sakura covered her ears

"OH HEY TENTEN, OK! I JUST NEED TO GET MY FOOD!" Kiba shouted from the over side of the cafeteria

"Bloody hell, loud much?" Sakura laughed rubbing her ears

"Oh sorry Sakura" she grinned "oh yeah, so Sakura" Tenten said raising her eyebrows up and down "how's you and Kiba getting along? He seems to like talking about you a lot" she said watching Sakura's face go bright red then laughed.

"Oh I dunno, he's very... Close? I don't know how to explain it... There was an incident this morning with my best friend Naruto which was a bit awkward"

"Haha! Yeah Kiba told me everything about that, he's your best friend huh? Not your boyfriend?"

"No, we've been best friends since we were children, but he's always had a thing for me" she said cheeks going red "but I don't have any feeling for him, I only see him as a brother"

"Well that clears it up then" Tenten said relieved "maybe you and Kiba can get together, I think you two will be perfect for each other and he's definitely eager"

"I dunno..."

"Oh hey! Here he comes. Hey Kiba, how's it going?" she said smiling at the fact that Kiba had sat right next to Sakura then gave her the 'he's definitely into you' look.

"Hey Tenten, all good thanks. Hey Sakura, I didn't really get to talk to you this morning because of that guy" he said leaning on his elbow looking straight into Sakura's eyes.

"Yeah... Haha which guy? Naruto or Gaara?" she said rubbing the back of her head.

"Both" he stated glaring at something or someone behind her, so she turned her head to see what he was looking at and funny enough it happened to be directed at Gaara who was leaning against the wall on the other side of the cafeteria staring at Sakura, then glared back at Kiba. 'How long has he been stood there?' she questioned herself.

She turned back to face Kiba again and gave him a kind smile "never mind, we're talking now right? Ooo! I just thought! Us three should go out some time, like for drinks or something and we can invite our friends down so everyone can meet" Sakura said trying to change the subject and succeeding by seeing Kiba's face light up with excitement.

"That's a fantastic idea!" Kiba said grabbing her two hands together "when do you want to do it Sakura" he said eagerly

"How about this Friday, you up for it Tenten?" She said trying to free her hands

"Yeah sure, we should invite Tsunade and Hinata. Well definitely Tsunade, she would have a go at us for not inviting her" she laughed

"Well then it's settled, this Friday" she said as her little alarm went off "looks like my lunch is over, time to deal with Gaara" she said getting up and looking towards his direction seeing him smirk.

"Aww... And I only just got here" Kiba sulked

"Don't sulk Kiba, your precious Sakura can't help it" Tenten chuckled as Sakura went red with her words

"Never mind haha" he laughed nervously "I better go then"

"Ok..." Kiba said sadly as he gave her a big hug, "I'll see you later"

Sakura finally freed herself from his grip and got up to meet Gaara and to go to his room, seeing that he wasn't very happy with what he saw.

"I thought you said you weren't interested in him?" Gaara said frowning at her

"I'm not and it's none of your business!" She said storming to his room 'urgh, today is giving me a headache' she thought to herself as she made her way to Gaara's room.
