'Blah' Gaara thoughts

'Blah' Shikaku

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neji and Naruto stood on guard as they heard leaves rustling. They were about to attack when out came Sakura and she was holding on to Gaara like a sack of potatoes. She looked into the lake and saw that the green glow was dissipating, she looked over at Naruto and he got the clue and dove into the lake to retrieve Hinata.

Sakura looked toward the sky and noticed that it changed and something was coming very fast like a storm. She quickly looked around and saw a cave near and told the others to follow.

Sakura put Gaara gently down and started some hand signs and a few poofs were hears. Small sphere like shapes of light were seen as they went and stuck on the wall and lowered their light but kept the cave warm since there was no fire going on.

Neji asked, "Why are we here?"

"There's a sand storm coming up, we'll be stuck here for a while."

Sakura rummaged around her pack and brought out two blankets, one for Neji and another for Naruto and Hinata to share with. She took off her cloak that she was wearing earlier and put it over Gaara.

"What happened to him?" Neji asked with hatred.

"He got poisoned by Shikyo. Shikyo's been working alongside Orichimaru. I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with me."

Naruto could only glare at the information. Gaara started to glow green and that shocked him a bit and asked, "What's happening to him?"

"My cloak is keeping him warm and healing him at the same time."

Everyone said oh, rustling were heard. Sakura pulled out a few energy bars for everyone and they ate in silence.

-Time skip-

It's been three days since the sand storm and everyone over at Suna was getting worried. The council was going nuts because the Kazekage had gone missing and the others were worried over the three missing people.

Back in the cave the sand storm had lifted up a bit and soon enough it stopped. Gaara was showing signs of real life. Naruto looked over at him as he opened up his eyes and asked what happened. No one really answered. He looked around and saw that Naruto was holding onto Hinata who was sleeping. He felt guilty at what he did to her and continued to look around. Neji was sleeping next to the wall his back facing him and Gaara felt even guiltier. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw a shadow moving, he turned his head around and his eyes widened.

The shadow said, "Glad to see you back in shape Gaara."

His eyes were filled with guilt and Sakura could clearly see it.

'But the past is the past'

'Yeah'

'I can still make you forget about him.'

'No, that's okay, I'll move on somehow'

'Okay, but remember that I'm always here.'

'Thanks, Tsukai.'

Sakura gave him a sad smile but continued on looking at the others. She looked at the sphere lights and they went out within seconds and the warmth of the cave dissipated. She looked at everyone and said "We should leave; everyone's probably worried about you guys."

Everyone went out of the cave and onto the sand again. Sakura knew that even though Hinata is healed, she still needs to recuperate, so she lifted up her hands and three big birds were created by sand. Sakura went up to one of them and petted it.

Gaara was astonished at what Sakura just did and Shikaku pulsed as he remembered something similar to this in his past. The same exact birds that the person that he was looking for had made. Naruto held onto Hinata tightly so she wouldn't fall as he set her down gently in front of him so that he can hold her.

Neji took a bird by himself while Gaara took the other. Naruto looked at Sakura and asked, "How about you?"

"I'm coming to, just not riding."

Naruto looked at her and shrugged. Gaara just looked at her and she smiled up at him assuringly. Gaara still looked at her and sighed. "Hang on tight, okay, they go very fast." Sakura warned.

Soon enough they took off with Sakura close behind with wings. Naruto looked back and he saw that Sakura had wings, blood red rings, he was about to ask about it but decided against it. Neji was very astonished but not that he'll admit it. And Gaara, he felt heart pulsate and so did Shikaku.

'No it can't be, Tennotsukai can't be inside of Sakura, that's impossible, and Gaara had to…I have to fix things now, even if I'm too late.'

'Sakura, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.'

'Gaara…I…'
