I opened my eyes wincing at the pain from my legs and arms sitting up. A whole lot of stuff was on fire and I guessed it has only been a couple of minutes sence the explosion. I pulled myself up and looked around to find gaara.

"Sakura" I heard some yell my name then I noticed the ear piece was still in.

"Guys I'm fine, I'm trying to find gaara" I told them looking around everywhere.

"Thank god" I heard tenten say. I smiled hurting and I knew if I had to go against one of those big guys right now that I would loose. I winced and tried to see through the darkness and seen a figure getting up from beside a tree that fell.

"Gaara?" I yelled walking over past the smoke and some little fire starting up and seen that it was him getting up. "Oh my god, are you okay" I walked over and hugged him. I don't know where it came from I just felt like hugging him. It took him a second before he fell into my hug ang hugged me back stroking my hair. He backed off and looked at me.

"You okay enough to run" He asked me and I nodded yes.

"Aww sakura he cares about you so much" Temari said through the ear piece but we just ignored her.

"guys were should we all meet" I asked as me and gaara started walking out of the woods toward the road that goes to the city.

"Factory" Neji spoke up. dang haven't heard his voice in a while. "Its schedualed to get budozered anyway so if we have to throw one of the bombs-

"Hoping we wouldn't have to" Tenten interruped

"Right but if we do we don't want the police to go around asking questions about a place that acually mattered" He did make a good point. I looked over at gaara and he nodded.

"The factory is away from houses and is close to us, well meet all of you there in just a little bit" I told them then grabed the talking speaker off of my shirt and stuck it in my pocket. Gaara raised his eyebrow at me.

"what now you can speak freely without them listening" I told him then realized that was a stupid excuss but whatever works.

When we got to the road cars were on fire,turned over or in the woods crushed. I don't like hurting people and this sight killed me.

"Oh my god, I didn't mean to get all of them in it" I knew some of them were innocences working because gaaras dad is making them somehow.

"Sakura we can't turn back time, whats done is done come on" He grabed my arm and we started running. Well I had a little limp in my run but still a run. We headed toward the factory which was easy to spot once we got to the main road before the city. It was a 5 story factory that was used tp make clothes and stuff like that.

"Almost there" I said looking over to see gaaras wound started bleeding again. damnit my shirt fell off of his arm. then only then was when I started to feel the affects of the explosion. My back had brusies like crazy and my hand got burnt because it was out when the bomb went off.

"gaara your arm" I said still running and he looked over but kept running.

"Its fine just keep running" He was lying. If he loses to much blood he will end up passing out and we need him or more I need him or he will end up dying. I just ignored and and kept running hopefully they have some water in the facotry or something to help.

We seen cars once we got there and they were everybodys car which mean't that they were all here. We walked inside and I got trampled with all of my friends.

"We are so glad your okay" tenten said hugging me then looked down to see the damage and gasped.

"Sakura we have to get you cleaned up and look at the damage" Kiba said and I looked up to see gaara walking up the stairs to the second floor of the factory.

"I'll do it, does anyone have any water" I asked and they pointed to a fridge.

"I thought this place was abandoned but someone kept it up" kiba said as I grabed a couple bottles of water.

"I'll go clean myself up by myself" I said and some of them looked hurt but I couldn't say anything else but that because gaara needed more help then I did.

I walked up the stairs and it came to a huge room with a couple machines and gaara was near the window sitting down probably still in pain. I walked over and he just glaced at me.

"I guess you watching out for them" He always acts like he is just lazy and just wants to be away from everyone but he helps but people just doesn't know he does.

"Let me help you" I opened a bottle of water and poured some of it over his bulliet hole. I still had on temari's shirt so I hope she forgives me. I grabed and tore the ring around the sleeve of the sweater and tied it around his arm to stop the blood.

"Thank you" I looked up at him and nodded. I looked around trying to find anything that can help me clean up myself. "Here" I looked at gaara and he ripped his sleeve off of his shirt. "Might make a good rag" He tossed it over to me.

"Thanks" I smiled at him and poured some water on it rubbing it on my face to get the dirt off then my arms, I winced when I grabed the rag with my burnt hand and I was afraid that gaara noticed it. I looked over and sure enough he was on his way to investigate.I hid my arm behind me.

"Gaara its nothing just a little burn" He got up close to me. "Let me see" His voice was hard to reject. I moved my arm back around and showed him my hand. He nodded and grabed a bottled water pouring it on it.

"Shit" That stung but only for a second. He looked down at me then ripped his other sleeve wrapping it around my burn. I looked down and then back at gaara and he was still close and neither of us made a move to move backward. His eyes were hard to pull away from.

Then I heard a bang and looked behind gaara and here comes 4 black cars. Oh my goodness does he really have that much freaken connection. Gaara turned and looked, they were a good distance but moving in fast.

"I have an idea" I looked back up to gaara then ran down the stairs to see everyone looking out the door watching them. "Guys" I said and they jumped around.

"sakura there coming, I don't know how long we can keep this up" Tenten said and everyone looked at me like I was crazy mostly because I was smiling.

"Put your ear pieces back in and speakers back on" I told them " I have an idea, you guys sence you got cars get away just leave your bombs here with me that why if the stop or they keep going we can try take them down" Noone was happy with this idea

"No sakura"

"Your crazy no"

"No deffently not"

"I agree with her" Everyone looked over to neji. "If noone is here to watch our asses then we might as well be running away but I have an idea once we get out there and I'll tell you once we get out there" Neji said and now people started to agree except.

"No sakura" Kiba came toward me. "I will stay here with you"

"You can't you got a car" I looked and now they were closer. "Guys give me your bombs and go, not all of them tenten you keep a bomb sence you know how distructive they are you know when to throw it if you have too" Everyone did as they were told and I had a back pack full of bombs.

"Lets go" Temari yelled looking seeing how close they were. Everyone rushed out and kiba gave me a big huge.

"You die and I will never forgive myself" He whispered in my ear then ran out with the others. I grabed the backpack with the bombs and rushed upstairs.

"You should have went with them" Gaara said. I turned and smiled

"You sound worried about me" I smiled and he smirked grabing my hands

"Well I am" I looked up. Whoa did he just say that. Great we are in the middle of something big and now he decided to come out.

"Come on" I grabed his arm and headed up the stairs. Once we got to the roof I looked and they were really close. I put down my bag and grabed a smoke bomb and threw it to the road right infron of the first one but he just ran right threw it.

"Damnit" I was about to grab a bomb but gaara stopped me."What-"

"Watch" Its like he knew what was going to happen. One black car stopped right infront of the factory and the others went on.

"Who?" Then they stepped out and it was his father and kankuro. I thought they was in the explosion but they probably wasn't even near it, sending in innocent people like that. I grabed a smoke bomb and a smell bomb and threw them both down the stairs and it went off.

"Damnit, you will pay for that" I backed away from the door and gaara moved infront of me just waiting till they came through.

"Bitch" He looked up to see me and gaara. "Oh its you two, great we got lucky" He looked over at me and licked his lips.

Then we heard loud sounds and everyone covered there ears. I looked up and seen jets going by but they were way to low for just any jets. Then I got it and my eyes were wide. I looked back up and kankuro and his dad were gone.

"What the hell?" Gaara looked up and then came over to me.

I grabed the speaker out of my pocket and grabed gaaras arm running downstairs because by now his dad would be long gone.

"Guys listen" I put the speaker on my shirt. Then It came over again and I looked up and shivered then gaara noticed what I did and froze. We were outside and running.

"Yeah sakura?" Kiba asked and I knew everyone was listening.

"Come and get me and gaara and lets get the hell off this island"

"Why? What the hell is that?" I heard jets again and tentens voice.

"Its the army now get moving!!!"
