Sakura walked out towards the garden. She let her wings come out and stretch. She looked at her right wing that had caught her attention, it was black. Sakura clenched her hands into fists and grabbed her sword. Sakura backed up to a stone wall and drove the sword into the black wing.

Sakura winced in pain but began trying to rip off the wing. She drove the sword in again and ripped more off. Sakura slumped to the ground crying. She ripped out the black feathers and threw them on the ground.

The ground around her was a big puddle of blood seeping out of her wing staining the white skirt and her sleeves. Sakura moved her hands through the blood. She leaned back and felt her wound slowly start healing.

"What are you doing?" Gaara asked angrily.

Sakura looked up "Get away, what do you care?!" she yelled at him. Gaara spread his dragon like wings out. Sakura looked at the white one it looked as if the same damage was done to it as hers.

"You do realize when something happens to you it happens to me as well and vise versa" he said all traces of the anger that had been there now gone.

Sakura looked away from him, "What's wrong?" he asked walking up to her.

"Leave me alone" Sakura said harshly.

"Why…why did you do this to me?" Sakura asked tears spilling from her eyes.

Gaara looked at her and sighed "I had too," he said now noticing both wounds were fully healed.

"Why didn't you just let me die…I would rather have died then become this" she cried more.

"I didn't . . . I didn't want you to die" Gaara said turning away. Sakura looked up at him.

"I just knew…I knew something was wrong. Everything was so right, I just wanted to…it doesn't even matter, you destroyed us both" she tried wiping her tears away.

"My father will be disgraced, I'm a filthy abomination!" Sakura sobbed into her blood covered hands.

"Please don't cry" Gaara said quietly. Sakura stood up and glared at him "Why the hell not?!" she yelled.

"Because I don't like seeing you in pain" he replied harshly. Sakura blinked and returned to her glare.

"I bet you did this just to torture me, you and your sick little games! Just to make me suffer more then I already have!" Sakura accused.

Gaara glared at her and grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, "Don't think you're the only one suffering from this fusion"

"It's tearing me apart just as much as it is you, but listen I did not do this to make you suffer I did it because after I met you I knew I couldn't live without you" he said staring into her eyes.

Sakura gulped and avoided eye contact, "You made my cold heart feel and you have no idea how much I regret now for killing that man because I would never wish you any unhappiness. No matter if I'm able to share it with you or not" he said sternly.

Gaara released her and took a step back. Sakura looked at him and then threw her arms around him crying "I'm sorry, I'm just I don't know what to do" she started crying again.

Gaara held her protectively making sure she felt safe "I know" he said kissing her forehead.

"I'm just afraid I don't want anything to happen to my sisters but I don't want anything to happen to you either. I can't stand this…trying to be strong when I'm so weak" Sakura cried into his chest.

"Sakura," Gaara said lifting her chin with his finger. "You don't have to stand alone anymore. I'll be with you no matter where you are or when even when you think I'm not because, I'm your shadow" he smiled. Sakura smiled back and they kissed, Gaara stepped back breaking the kiss.

"I have to go now Sakura but you will never be without me" he promised and dissolved into shadow.

Sakura smiled and then sighed "Well there you go father, come on smite me already" Sakura said raising her hands in the air.

She blinked when nothing happened, "Hm, weird well now what to do? I wonder if Gaara would mind if I killed his brothers…or at least that annoying fire god" she said to herself walking down the street.

-

"Hey Gaara are you ok?" Shikamaru asked.

He nodded "I see your wing is better, what did you do to it anyway?" he asked as they both walked down the halls of the palace.

"Ok Shikamaru, I'm only going to tell you and Naruto cause I cant trust Neji and Kiba" Gaara began.

"Oh it has to do with that goddess," Shikamaru nodded and they both walked into a secure room.

"Um well you see I kind of did something a little bit forbidden" he smiled trying to look as innocent as he could.

"Oh my god Gaara you didn't" Shikamaru groaned and walked at little away placing one hand to his head.

"My god Gaara, why? You can't seriously love her" Shikamaru crossed his arms and looked at his brother. He didn't say anything and looked away. Shikamaru sighed "You are so troublesome, you know that right" he said walking back to him.

"Yeah, yeah I know" Gaara replied.

"Fine Gaara I won't kill her but you just make sure she doesn't kill me" Shikamaru sighed yet again.

"I'll be sure to," Gaara told him.

"Man Gaara when Kiba and Neji find out they're gonna be pissed" Shikamaru laughed.

"You mean if they find out" he corrected him.

"If…if is good" Shikamaru smirked.

They walked into the hall again and began to the common room. "What do you think of Kiba's 'crush' on the fire goddess, kind of funny how everyone knows they like each other, except them of course" he laughed.

Gaara nodded "Your right it is" as he began laughing.

"Hey what are you guys laughing at?" Naruto asked coming out of his room.

"Just about how Kiba and that goddess love each other but don't know it yet" Gaara smirked.

Naruto burst out laughing "I know man what is that anyway, I mean at least you and that chick know you love each other" Naruto kept on laughing.

Gaara and Shikamaru looked at him, "Ok Naruto it wasn't that funny" they said together.

"You're right," he continued laughing "it was HILARIOUS!" he shouted laughing even harder. Gaara and Shikamaru rolled their eyes and walked ahead into the common room.

"Oi, Shikamaru what's Naruto laughing about?" Kiba asked.

"Come on Kiba what doesn't Naruto laugh about" he sighed and sat down in a chair picking up his book and resumed reading it.

Kiba nodded "True, hey Gaara" he said looking back to what he was doing.

"Hey," Gaara said back sitting down as well.

"You know" Neji began "this has turned out to be more complicated then I thought it was going to be" he finished.

"I'll say" Gaara sighed and looked out the window.

"Ok guys I have something to say" Naruto spoke up finally recovering from his laughter.

They all looked at him and waited for him to continue. "I think I might like Hinata and a lot" he said gulping at the reaction.

"Ok" Gaara and Shikamaru shrugged.

"Naruto are you insane?!?" Kiba yelled.

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"Um, she's a goddess duh!" Kiba said at the same volume. "You can't be serious" Kiba shouted shaking Naruto.

"Why not?" Gaara interrupted them. Kiba looked back at Gaara, "Why can't he love her? I love the other goddess, Sakura" Gaara finished.

"Gaara you even know her name?! What is going on it's like I only have Neji and Shikamaru to depend on" Kiba sighed.

Shikamaru coughed "Um not necessarily" he spoke up.

Kiba's jaw dropped "Not you too!" he groaned leaning on the wall.

"Well, Kiba I'm not in love with anyone but I won't go against Gaara or Naruto so I wont be with you if you try yet again to kill them" he told him.

Kiba hit his head on the wall, "You guys…ugh" he said before walking out.

Neji sighed "Well I don't have anything to say" he nodded to them and left.

Naruto blinked "Dude Gaara can um you help me with Hinata?" he asked.

"What? Why?" Gaara raised a questioning eyebrow.

"You know since your woman is like her sister couldn't you get you know…?" Naruto questioned.

Gaara sighed "I guess I can ask Sakura to talk to her" he said. Naruto had his famous grin plastered on his face.

"Thanks Gaara you're the best" Naruto said and left the room.

Gaara sighed again "Well this sure is getting interesting," Shikamaru smirked.
