Shopping is insane
When Sakura awoke in the morning she gave a great stretch and stared at the roof for a bit. The date from the night before had given her good spirits. She actually enjoyed it rather than sat bored. Now it was Sunday morning. What should I do? As if replying to her thoughts, her cell phone began to ring and she groaned rolling over to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hi!"
"Ino, what's up?"
"I'm bored. Want to go shopping with me?"
She sighed and replied, "Ino I don't know."
"Oh come on Forehead, pleeeeaaaasssee?!"
"Oh fine, when do you want to meet up?"
"Right now, I'm outside... Oh Deidei-kun came to. Did you know he's rich?!"
Sakura looked out her window to see the two and shut the blinds, "nope, no idea."
With that she hung up and searched through her closet for something to wear. Today happened to be a green day so she wore a green shirt with a quote on it, "Tree hugger". Then she pulled on some blue jeans. It was a simple outfit compared to her other ones.
She ran downstairs and told her mom goodbye before exiting the house. Deidara and Ino were sitting on the back of his car, which happened to be a simple silver Nissan. Sakura gave a sigh of relief. Nothing extreme like Sasori's.

When they got to the mall all was hectic. We saw Shikamaru lounging around at some places every so often, and Ino would go on and on about him. It was not hard to she liked Shikamaru and at that fact Deidara kept making excuses, interrupting, or just plain walking away for a bit while Ino went on and on.
Poor Deidara, she thought. Ino just doesn't get it. She looked at her blonde friend who was still talking.
"Hey Ino", Sakura said. "Why don't you go talk to Shikamaru for a bit. I bet he's dying for someone to chat with." Ino nodded and bounced off toward him, sitting down at his table.
Sakura decided she would go look for Deidara, and what better place then an art store.
She scanned all of the stores as she walked and didn't seem to notice someone following her. When she gave up looking for him and turned she crashed right into the person. Sabaku No Gaara, not who she expected to crash into.
"Ouch OK that hurt", she mumbled as she stood up. Gaara glared at her but started to talk anyway.
"Watch where you're going", he growled. Holding his arm. Sakura peered at his hand seeing red drip from his arm where it was covered.
"I hurt you. Sorry, here let me help sit down."
Much to Gaara's dislike they sat down on one of the benches while Sakura used her medical technique to heal the gash. It wasn't that bad but it was the least she could do. It was her fault anyway.
"How did I do that", she questioned and he just glanced at the arm of the bench.
"When you crashed into me I slid and hit the benches armrest."
Gaara continued to examine the spot where he had been scratched. She could do medical jutsu pretty well. It may not be anything major but he couldn't do that right?
"Thanks", he said and Sakura looked over surprised to get thanks from him. "For healing my arm. I can't do that myself." He laughed slightly and stood up.
"So are you here with anyone", he asked. Sakura nodded.
"Ino and Deidara but they uhm... Left." Gaara nodded. She didn't seem to get the message of his question. In all reality it meant, is that Sasori/Bodyguard/Boyfriend with you?
"OK, well would you like to go with me", he asked? "I'm going to see a movie." Sakura smiled and nodded. Yet she had to find out which first, but before he could ask he answered her.
"You like comedy right", he asked? "The movie is Dance Flick." A smile broke out on Sakura's face. She loved comedy, assuming whom she'd been hanging out with lately. The "Akatsuki" were pretty funny but not good enough.
He smiled and nodded, "thought so."

The movie was great and Sakura had laughed through almost the whole thing while Gaara leaned on his armrest staring at the screen with his blank stare. When they left the theater Sakura couldn't stop talking about it. One thing she liked about Gaara was, he listened to what she was saying. Unlike Sasori who would tell her to shut up or something.
At first she had been afraid to bother him. But all in all she ended up hanging out with him and now she was talking his ear off without him minding, at least she thought he didn't mind, his face never showed anything.
They passed by Ino and Deidara who had met up once more and were searching for Sakura. Deidara's jaw dropped when he saw her talking and walking with the boy he and the rest of Akatsuki were supposed to be keeping her away from.
If Pein found out that she was with him, he would be furious. Konan had told Pein to make sure that Sakura was protected because she said that they needed at least one person outside of Akatsuki as a friend, and a girl who looked weak would be good. Konan didn't mean it in a harsh way but a kind way. So Pein agreed to protect the girl.
But Deidara didn't seem to be doing a good job. Him and Ino decided to follow the two and heard about the movie. Great they even went to a movie together. Deidara was going to get yelled at for sure, and he knew Sasori would have his head by the end of the day.

Gaara left after a little while leaving Sakura to find Deidara and Ino so she could go home, oh how she wished she drove her own car. She found them back at the food court and they didn't say a word. Just simply got up and headed to the car with her.
The whole ride home seemed tense and Sakura twiddled her thumbs. She wanted to be home now, rather than with Deidara and Ino. Had they gotten into a fight? She looked into the rearview mirror and caught Deidara glance at her.
His eyes were full of worry and she felt bad for her friend... Though one thing she couldn't understand was... Why did he look at HER with worried eyes?
So there you have it! The newest chapter to Connected. Deidara and Ino go to the mall with Sakura and she ends up going to see a movie with Gaara and ditching the other two. Now Deidara is worried for her and she doesn't know why. What can happen now?!
Me: That was fun to write. Especially when Mr. Stalker got caught but she didn't know she was being followed!
Gaara: I am not a stalker.
Sasori: Woman stealer!
Deidara: Blackmailer!
Me: Guys stop being mean to Gaara!
Sakura: Yeah
Sasori&Deidara: Yes Mello, yes Sakura.
Me: Good boys! Please REVIEW!
