Chapter 10: The visit with The Parents
Sakura x Gaara
I own nothing.
Gaara pulled from the kiss with a smile on his face. I can say that I am probably the only person in this world that will see him smile the way that he does when we are alone. I hugged him close never wanting to let go, because I was afraid of losing him. I looked and saw him looking at me strangely.
"Whats the matter?" He asked.
"I just don't want to ever lose you again." I replied.
"Sakura listen very carefully, You are never going to lose me again. I promise." Gaara said in a very serious tone.
"You promise?" I asked and bit questioningly
"I made the mistake of losing you once I won't do it again. You are my world and I love you." Gaara said.
"Gaara I love you to." I said.
Gaara pulled me into a kiss and I never wanted him to pull away. I pushed closer to him and circled my arms around his neck. Gaara pulled away from the kiss but keep me in his arms. I really felt safe in his warm arms. I never wanted to move from the, I just wanted to freeze time and stay in his arms forever.
"We should go to the flower shop and pick out flowers or something." Gaara said pulling away slightly.
"I have a better idea. Why don't you come meet my parents, and then we will go on date." I said.
"Meet you parents? Are you sure that is a good idea, I did almost kill their daughter?" Gaara said.
"Yes, but that was accident." I replied.
"Fine, I guess." Gaara sighed.
"Yay." I yelled happily.
I drug Gaara to my parents house so he could meet them. They would most likely not like him at first, but they will come around. I just hope my dad don't try to run Gaara off by scaring him. It didn't take long to reach the foyer of my home, and my mother and father were already waiting, but I could tell that they were angry.
"Sakura how could you agree to marry someone who nearly killed you?" My mother demanded.
"Mother it was only an accident and Gaara and I are working passed that." I said.
"There is nothing to work passed, the man tried to kill after declaring war on our country. He is not welcome in our home." My father yelled.
"Father I love Gaara with all my heart. He would have never attacked the village if Tsunade and the elders hadn't lied about the Itachi's death. The reason I was attacked was because Gaara's sand was defending him." I said.
"Why did his sand need to defend him from you?" My father asked.
"Because our to countries were at war and his sand seen me as the enemy. His sand has a mind of its own." I said.
"I will say it again, the man is not welcome in my home." My father said.
"If I may, Sakura is everything to me, and I love her. She is the only person in the world that has ever cared about me and she is the first person that I have opened my heart up and I truly want to be with her. I know that you are both angry with me, but I would never do anything to intentionally hurt Sakura. If anything I would give my life to be with her." Gaara said.
"If this is true, we will discuss the wedding arrangements over supper. Gaara you and I will have a private chat while prepare supper." My father said.
"Fair enough." Gaara said.
My father stepped to the side and my mother headed into the kitchen. I kissed Gaara lightly before following my mother into the kitchen and Gaara followed my father. I knew mom was going to have a chat with me as well, but it was okay. She really wasn't that harsh on me when it came to these kinds of things. Father on the other hand is protective of his little girl.
"Do you truly love him?" My mother asked ask I walked into the kitchen.
"That is a silly question. Of course I love him." I replied as walked over to the fridge to grab tea to make.
"I am only asking because you swore you loved Sasuke and he nearly killed you as well." My mother said.
"Gaara wasn't trying to kill me." I said.
"I know that, but your father isn't entirely convinced." My mother said.
"Father is never satisfied." I said.
"It's not like that, he is just very protective of you." My mother said.
"I'm not sure that protective is the right word for it." I grumbled.
"Sakura, you father only wants what is best for you and nothing else." My mother said.
"At first when I was told that I had to marry Gaara, I didn't think that I could love him. He was cold and heartless." I said.
"What changed?" My mother asked.
"Gaara changed. He became caring and loving towards me. He always wanted me to be happy. He became protective of me and over the short time that I knew him I grew love him. Now I can't picture life without him." I said.
"I am glad that you are happy, but I am sure that you know your father see's Gaara as a threat." My mother said.
"I know that mom." I said.
I put the tea on and started helping mom cook the dinner. She choose to make a simple meal, Pork ramen. My favorite, she always put real pork in it and boiled eggs. I loved my mothers cooking and I have missed it.
(Gaara's POV)
"So Gaara do you have any family?" Sakura's father asked.
"I have my sister Temari and my brother Kankuro." I replied.
"Are you guys close." He asked.
"Probably not as close as we should be." I replied.
Things were quiet for a bit, but I knew he was pondering on Sakura and whether he really wanted her to marry me. I could honestly say I was scared that he would deny me any right to marry Sakura and demand that a different woman from this village marry me. I didn't want anyone else though, I just wanted Sakura. She was the world to me and life without her was unimaginable.
"Gaara why do you want to marry my only daughter?" He asked.
"I love her." I replied.
"Is that the only reason that you are marrying her?" He asking, wanting to pry out more information.
"I am marrying her as duty to my village, but I have come to love Sakura very much. Life without her is impossible. Everything about her is my world, and she is my soul mate. I have never let anyone in until I met her. She changed my world. She changed how I felt towards others. I am not as cold and emotionless as I used to be." I replied.
"I will tell you this now, you break her heart again, and I will kill you myself." He said in a very serious tone.
"I don't intend to ever break her heart again. I will cherish her love and her for the rest of my life." I said.
"Good." He said, just as Sakura walked in.
"Supers ready boys. Hope you like pork ramen, Gaara." She said and bounced off. I loved her smile so much.
(Sakura's POV)
I sat next to Gaara at the table and he immediately took my hand and I smile at him. This was what I wanted out of life always. I squeezed his hand tightly then let go so we could. Dinner was accord and quiet. I ate quickly so I could go to bed and snuggle with Gaara.
"Mom I think Gaara should sleep in my room." I said.
"No funny business then." My mom said.
"There won't be any funny business mom. The wedding is in two days. I have a lot to plan tomorrow." I said.
"Alright mom. I love you." I said and kissed her on the cheek and then I kissed dad on the cheek.
I walked up stairs with Gaara in tow. No sooner than we made into the room and the door closed Gaara pushed me on the bed and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close to me. I kissed the harder wanting to be with him, but knowing that he was going to wait to the wedding night.
"Night Sakura." Gaara said as he pulled from the kiss and rolled on his side and wrapped his arms around me.
I feel asleep in his warm comforting arms, and I loved being with him always.
