Chapter 10: Let Me Show You
Sakura woke up the next day, thankfully still in Gaara's arms she thought. She peeked out of one of her eyes and saw that Gaara was awake as well. She snuggled closer into him; she did not want to get up yet. His arms tightened around her in response, so she leaned her head up to look at him as she talked
"Good morning Gaara-kun" she said. A small lit up his face
"Good morning Sakura-chan" he said as he buried his face into her hair. Gaara discovered that his new favorite sent was strawberry vanilla, due to her hair. She giggled when she felt him sniff her hair, as she let her eyes close and her head rest on his chest. She waited longer before talking
"Do you want to get up now Gaara-kun?" she asked
"Sure" he told her. When she tried to untangle herself from him, his grip did not loosen. She looked up at him with a confused look on her face. He gently smiled at her. Her eyes widened when she realized she was moving. His sand was moving both of them, off the bed and into a standing position, she still did not let go of him. He chuckled in response to her clinging to him. She felt his hand moving up from her back, as she smiled when it reached her face and cupped it. All her will melted right there. She melted into his hand, molding her face into it. She kissed him lightly whenever his hand would find her lips.
"I have to take a shower and get ready Sakura-chan" he told her. She did not move her face away from his hand, as her arms remained around him. He sighed
"You're not going ot make this easy are you?" he asked with a smile on his face. She simply moved her head back and forth telling him no. After another 10 minutes of holding her, he finally said
"Sakura-chan, I really do need to go" he told her with a serious face on. She sighed and opened her eyes to meet his staring at her
"I love your eyes you know" she told him. He smiled lightly at her
"Stop trying to change the subject" he said. She finally frowned as he arms disentangled themselves from him.
"Ok" she said sadly, as he was about to turn around and go to the bathroom, she suddenly grabbed his wrist, as he turned to look at her she talked
"Wait please. I was wondering if maybe, I know you don't like physical contact that much, but would you trust me enough to let me do something. It seems like you have made a big improvement in the touching are lately." She smiled at him. He simply nodded. Her face went ecstatic as he let her do what she wanted. He saw she was happy, and it made him smile slightly do to it.
"Ok, first I want you to close your eyes" she said. He raised an eyebrow at her. She sighed. She took his hand and placed it on her face as he cupped it. She closed her eyes and melted into his hand once again as she kissed it lightly. She then opened her eyes and placed her hand on his face as she stroked over his features, he kissed her hand lightly when she rolled over his lips.
"Now, do you trust me?" she asked with a tender smile on her face. He closed his eyes in response, telling Sakura he trusted her.
"Now, let me show you, how much I really do love you" Gaara was speechless when she that she loved him. For he loved her back as well.
She left her hand there for a few moments. When Gaara felt it move away, he was bout to open his eyes and ask what was wrong, when he suddenly felt something soft and warm apply pressure to his lips. His eyes immediately snapped open to Sakura. She was kissing him. As soon as her lips were there, she pulled away, blushing a deep red.
"Uhmm, that's all I umm…wanted to do…sorry" she told him. Sakura looked at his face to see if he accepted it. She saw a glint in his eyes that she had never seen before, it made her uncomfortable. She started stepping back
"G-Gaara?" she asked him, when suddenly she could not move back anymore. She looked behind her to see what she had hit into, because it was soft, so she knew it was not the wall. Gaara's sand was there blocking her movement backwards. When she turned to protest to Gaara he was suddenly right in front of her. His face inches away from hers. Before sakura could say, or do anything his lips were on hers. It did not take long for her to be completely taken by the kiss. After about a second her eyelids slipped shut as her arms moved around his neck, clutching him closer to her, and deepening the kiss. His arms encircled her waist as he pulled her close as well. Sakura remembered Temari's words
"He doesn't have much experience in this field," she thought. So she took action first. She opened her mouth into the kiss, to gently guide him where she wanted to go. Taking the cue she gave him, his tongue gently slipped into her mouth as he began exploring. Memorizing every detail of her mouth, every crack and crevice there was. AS she fell deeper into the kiss, she fell deeper in love with him, and she knew it. Whenever his tongue would meet up with hers she would give a low moan into the kiss, which made Gaara blush. He had never done this before and was not sure of what he was doing; to him Sakura's moans were re-assuring him he was doing something right. They only separated when the need for air was too great. When they did they just let there foreheads touch together, as they held each other. Sakura braided her hands through his scarlet hair.
"Thank you, Gaara-kun" he smiled at her and he closed the gap between their lips once again. When they separated once again, she let her head fall onto his chest as she closed her eyes. He did the same. She was content, and so was he.
"Do you want to go have breakfast Gaara-kun?" she asked him
"Whatever you want to do is what I want to do" he told her. She smiled as she said
"Ok then ,you go take a shower while I go make you breakfast" she said as she kissed him lightly before heading for the door. She was a little surprised when Gaara's sand suddenly closed the door and pulled her into his arms again
"I never said you could leave" he told her, his face inches from hers again
"What makes you think I want to leave." She said as he crashed his lips onto hers once again.
After a heated make-out session Sakura was finally able to get down stairs to prepare Gaara breakfast. She made him an omelet, 2 eggs, a side of hash browns, coffee with his choice of assorted sugars and creamers, a glass of orange juice, and an apple next to everything. She set out silver ware and napkins as she talked to herself
"Good job Sakura. I think he will be very happy."
CHA! I agree! He will be the happiest Sakura lover on earth!
"Who are you?"
Why, I am your inner! Don't you remember me?
"Oh yes! Hey! I haven't talked to you in a while, where have you been when I needed you?"
Well, your life got a little boring, so I left
"BORING! You call being depressed and overwhelmed boring!" she yelled at her inner
Well ya! There was no hunk around until now, so that's when I showed up! DUH!
"Shut up now, I will talk to you soon, now go away, I hear him coming!" She said to her inner as it disappeared to a corner in her mind. When Gaara came down he looked at sakura and what she had done as his eyes widened.
"This is all for me?" he asked in wonder
"Why yes. It is!" she said as she smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him to his chair, as she sat down closely next to him. He did as he was told and sat down. He looked at her once more and raised an eyebrow at her. She looked at him confused, so he sighed
"The distance" he said, motioning to how close she was. She looked at her chair and said
"Oh, sorry" she said as she moved away. He moved his head back and forth, so she moved farther away. He kept moving his head so she moved further. His head wouldn't stop moving even when she was on the other side of the table, she got annoyed at him
"GOD! How far away do you want me to move exactly!?" she said to him. He frowned at her. Suddenly sand surrounded her as she was quickly lifted above the table and onto his lap. She blushed as his arms encircled her and his mouth moved to her ear
"I never said I wanted you to move further away, I wanted you here all along" his arms tightened around her as she got the point. He gently kissed her before picking up the fork and breaking off a piece of the omelet and moving it to her mouth. She blushed deep red as she took the piece of omelet, realizing he was feeding her. He continued feeding her until the omelet was all gone and her face was bright red. I wonder if I will ever get over that. She thought to herself. She then noticed that empty plate in front of her.
"Wait! You fed me the whole thing! What are you going to eat?!" she asked, a little panicked. But she then noticed that the eggs, hash brown and apple were gone as well
"Oh, ok. Good, at least you ate" She told him. His face was suddenly at her ear again
"Yes, an it was very good. Thank you" eh told her as his mouth moved to her neck. She moved her head to the side to give him more access to what he wanted. He lingered there for several minutes, neither one of them noticed the stunned Temari that had walked down stares and was know standing in the kitchen doorway. She dropped everything she was holding, right as Gaara's head moved away, revealing a large hickey covering half her neck. Sakura caught a glimpse of the staring Temari and turned her head to face her. She smiled at Temari and winked, thanking her for her advice. Sakura turned her head to face Gaara, who was also looking at his stunned sister. Her fingertips lingered on Gaara's cheek as he turned to face her, he smiled when he saw her face as she lifted her head to touch her lips to his. Simultaneously Temari's eyes bugged out of her head as she watched Sakura take full advantage of her brothers closeness to her. The next thing Gaara and Sakura heard was Temari's voice yelling up stairs.
"KANKURO GET DOWN HERE! YOUR BROTHER HAS HORMONES NOW! YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" suddenly Kankuro was standing beside her saying
"What!? What happened to Gaara?!" she quickly guided him towards the snuggling that was going on in the kitchen. His eyes widened when he saw Gaara's face buried in Sakura's hair. Temari quickly wrote something on paper which read
"DO THE FINGER THING AGAIN! PLZ!" Sakura smiled at this but obeyed, laying her finger onto Gaara's cheek until he looked at her. She slowly touched her lips to Gaara's, but he had a different response this time. Knowing his brother was there he let his tongue slip into Sakura's mouth as he began exploring again. Then he let his tongue meet up with Sakura's as they danced. Kankuro watched in amazement at his little brothers display of affection. His jaw practically dropped to the floor when he heard Sakura give a low moan as Gaara pressed her closer. Suddenly everyone was brought out of their own worlds when they heard a thump on the floor. Temari had fainted. Sakura quickly jumped off Gaara's lap and rushed to Temari's side, as her hands began to glow pink she let them stroll over Temari's body, healing whatever might have happened. When Temari did not wake up Kankuro spoke
"What happened?! What's wrong with her?!" he asked as he panicked.
"Nothing, she just fainted" sakura said right as Temari began to come to it.
"What happened?" she asked. Kankuro answered her
"You saw Gaara grope Sakura and you fainted at his profanity." He lied to her. Sakura had reached her annoyance point as she summoned chakra into her hand and punched Kankuro in the gut, sending him flying into the wall. Gaara chuckled at this; he actually found it quite attractive. She sighed as she turned to Temari, whose eyes were wide open.
"He was not grouping me Temari, he was kissing me and you fainted." She told her.
"Oh, that is much better" she said. When Kankuro walked, or more like limped to their group
"God sakura, you hit damn hard" he said as he clutched at his aching body
"Baby" Sakura said as her hand began to glow blue and she tapped Kankuro in the gut. He immediately began feeling better as he was able to stand again.
"Wow, how'd you do that?" he asked her
"Remember, I did train under Tsunade" she told him with a grin on her face. She was tired of standing so she went over to Gaara and wrapped her arms around him, as his arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her closer to him.
"Thanks" she muttered into him.
"Your welcome" he told her. Kankuro and Temari stared, as Temari began talking
"Umm, we really have to go know, we leave you two alone. BYE!" she said as her and Kankuro disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"We have to go to you know" she told Gaara softly. He simply nodded as they both disappeared in a whirl of sand.
They reappeared in front of the hospital where Sakura worked. She looked up at him, as he looked down. He gently pushed his lips onto hers as she sighed into the kiss and opened her mouth, as an entrance for his tongue. When they had to break apart for breth, Gaara began talking
"I have to go know Sakura-chan, I can be here when you come out of work, if you would like?" he asked her. She closed the gap in-between their mouths. When she pulled back she said
"Does that answer your question Gaara-kun?" she asked with a smile
"Yes it does. I will be waiting for you when you come out my cheery blossom" he told her. She blushed at the name as she kissed him one more time and as she spoke again
"I will be waiting for you too, my Gaara-kun" she said softly. He walked her into the hospital, and gave her one last kiss before disappearing in a swirl of sand.
"I love you. My Gaara-kun, and I will always wait for you."
