And I coulda swore I saw "Hyuga" when I watched the show. Who knows, I think I'll keep mine until I see proof otherwise. ;D

xXx

"I want every corner of this village checked!" he barked, glaring the men before him down. They quaked in fear. "I don't want a house, inn, building, nook or cranny unsearched! Got it?!"

The 10 Jonin all nodded, shaking. The they disppeared, leaving the Hyuga to his thoughts. "Sakura, where are you?" he whispered, looking at the grey clouds of the Mist village. "Where did you go..?"

xXx

She felt very warm, and slightly wet. Without opening her eyes, her hand gripped taut skin, and felt that it was a hard, muscular chest. A hard, muscular, bare chest. This made her shiver at the possibility. Her brain was foggy.

Soon, it gathered that she was scantily clothed, possibly naked, and so was the person she was cuddled up to. She knew for a fact it was a male.

Her brain died for a moment, and she felt content to just run her hands up and down the man's smooth, strong chest, finger tingling as she bit her lip. She felt his arms wrapped around her bare waist, her legs entangled in his. She could hear a deep rumbling in the man's chest as he stirred, and it made her stifle a small giggle when he buried his face in her hair, breathing in her scent deeply and mumbling, "You smell so good.."

Her mind went back, to before she'd come to love him. The days was warm and sunny, slightly windy as usual; Gaara had cut himself. She knelt to heal his cut, and was in the process of doing so, when he's murmured that same comment. That day she'd looked at him oddly; now, she looked up into his eyes which were half-lidded, staring down at her. She smiled faintly, before one hand slid up his chest and neck, to touch his cheek.

He smiled faintly before saying, "Oh, and look, you're absolutely beautiful too. Who knew.."

She nipped at his nose playfully. "Quit being a kiss-up." she giggled, one eye closed in a sort of wink.

He smiled down at her, using a finger to brush aside a lock of pink hair. "I'm a kiss-up when I tell the truth...?"

Sakura giggled again, before whispering, "I love you.." she leaned in close, slowly. She captured his lips in a kiss, and the hand touching his face went to his red hair, gripping it gently.

He "mmph"ed in a small groan against her lips and rolled so he was over top of her, lips still connected. She pulled away slowly, giggling and turning red at the contact of their bodies, which were still in the nude from the night before.

"What's that for?" she whispered, smiling up at him.

""Two years of payback." He smirked a bit, before kissing her again. They'd begun rubbing against one another when a loud commotion downstairs was heard. They both jerked, looking at the door with wide eyes.

They silenced, and heard voices in the lobby. "We're looking for a Haruno Sakura! This tall, pink hair—"

They looked at one another, and Sakura's eyes widened in horror and realization. Suddenly, they both jerked out of bed, and began getting dressed. She wanted a shower, but she knew there was not time for that. She looked around frantically for her shirt, when she felt it tossed on her head. She quickly pulled it on, and looked at Gaara frantically.

"What do we do?!" she whispered, eyes watering.

"I don't know," he answered. When they heard footsteps coming up the stairs, she ran to him, clinging to him.

"FREEZE!" they yelled, kicking the door open. All they saw, however, was a few grains of sand floating out the window.

He held her, up against the wall of the Inn. He looked around, wide-eyed for any signs of the Konoha nin.

'What do I do?!' he debated with himself. 'Now that I have her.. I don't want to give her up.. But, Konoha needs her more.'

'There you go with all of that "think of the village first" crap..' something muttered.

"Don't leave me," she whispered from his chest, but he knew that she knew and was considering the same things he was.

Before he had time to respond, nin came around the corner. He quickly put his hood up to try and conceal his appearance, but one of them shouted, "IT CAN'T BE—!"

"Shit," Gaara muttered, and turned to run with Sakura in his arms. However, the nin surrounded him. None of them made a move to touch him or Sakura when they knew who it was. They didn't have to, however, because a man that Gaara hadn't seen in over two years approached the group.

His eyes widened when he saw the red-head, and he muttered, "It.. Can't be.."

Gaara only furrowed his brows, holding Sakura closer. He looked down and saw that she was faking unconsciousness. 'She doesn't want me or the village to hate her,' he thought.

Neji held out his hand, glaring at the man. "Give her back."

His mind battled ferociously.

'Give her up!'

'Run!'

'GIVE HER UP!'

'RUN!'

"Give her back!" Neji growled, taking a step closer and still reaching out.

His heart clenched, and he looked down at her.

Neji stepped forward again, and grabbed Sakura, pulling the kunoichi out of Gaara's arms. "Let's go," he murmured to the nin, and turned his back on Gaara, running in the direction of Konoha.

Suddenly, Sakura jerked in the Hyuga's arms, and screamed, "NOOO!" she reached out to Gaara, who stood there looking at her retreating form pathetically.

Neji only held Sakura tighter, and fought back tears developing in his eyes. 'She's found him, and she'll never give him up…'

Sakura remained silent afterwards, and soon enough, passed out in his arms.
