I Won't Hurt You
Sakura's sleep over ended smoothly as planned and everyone went back to school on Monday, and before Sakura even knew it the week passed by, and then a couple more added on. She was now in the 4th week of school and well adjusted and happy, and her hand healed well on top of all of it. It was a normal day, well except for their vacation coming up. Sakura had a 5 day vacation coming up and was very excited for it, she was walking out of school when suddenly her phone rang
"Hello?" She answered
"Hello Sakura its Aunt Tsunade, how are you?"
"Oh hey Aunt Tsunade! I'm doing ok, how are you?" She asked as she began to walk
"I'm ok. I called because I need to tell you something important Sakura"
"Oh this doesn't sound good, shoot" Sakura told her
"I am having renovations done on the house and I neglected to tell you, the people have already started today and you wont be able to go back for another day or two. You need to find a friend of someone to stay with, unfortunately my big meeting has been pushed off for another few days, I will be home shortly, but for now you need to fend for yourself. If you need any money or whatever, you can call me. I am so sorry this is such short notice but I wanted to tell u so it wasn't a shock when you walked home and the house was being ripped apart. I love you and now I have to run, I will see you soon I promise!" She said before hanging up the phone, leaving Sakura speechless. She quickly looked around to fine her friends, but spotted only a slow Temari leaving the school now to walk home, she quickly ran up to the girl
"Oh my god Temari you have to help me! If you do one thing for me I promise I will never ask you for anything ever ever again!"
"Sure Sakura what's wrong?" Temari asked concerned
"Okay, my aunt is having renovations done to our house and I have no where to stay. I promise if you let me crash with you guys tonight I will never ask you for anything ever again!" She pleaded to the girl
"Why sure Sakura all you had to do was a-" but Sakura cut her off by throwing herself at the girl
"THANK YOU SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN POSSIBLY THANK YOU!" Sakura yelled at her
"Oh well its fine Sakura really, you just have to deal with a small guest bedroom if you don't mind" Temari
"Of course not I'm fine with the kitchen floor and a blanket" Sakura said with a smile
"That will not be accepted!" Temari said faking a stern voice
"Oh yes ma'am!" Sakura said again before hugging her. When she let go Temari started talking
"Okay so we should get home now ya think?" She asked
"Whatever you want is fine with me" Sakura said with a smile as they started walking to Temari's house. They approached it as Temari opened the door and led Sakura in
"Kankuro get down here!" She yelled up the stairs in front of her, the house was nice; it was big but not overly huge like Sakura's house. She thought it was very nice and homey actually. Kankuro came down the stairs a few seconds later
"Yeah Temari what is it?" Then he spotted Sakura
"Oh hey Sakura! What's going on?" He said Turning to Temari
"Sakura is my friend and she needs somewhere to stay for the next day or two, she is staying with us and if you give her ANY problems what so ever I will personally BEAT YOU with my biggest fan upstairs, do you understand that?" She asked him
"Yeah I will make Sakura feel like this is her home! Don't worry Sakura you will feel fine here!" He said before winking at her and running upstairs
"Ugh he is such a perv. Just ignore him and you will be fine" Temari told Sakura with a smile
"Oh well ok" She said back
"Where is Gaara?" She asked
"Oh he always strolls in later" She said while moving into the kitchen and starting on dinner
"Watcha making?" Sakura asked
"Umm good question…" Temari said and Sakura giggled
"Let me take over Temari, you go relax while I cook up a storm in here" she told her with a smile
"Umm no really Sakura it is no trouble" She said with a smile
"Well than it should be no trouble going to sit down and relax" She countered while getting pans and bowls out
"Okay let me know if you need help though…" Temari told her
"Will do!" Sakura said while smiling and getting the rest of her preparations out
(A/N I am no going to say how she cooked the food, just know she cooked it and be happy!)
After about 45 minutes to an hour Sakura had finished her feast and set it out on the large table. She had made Pasta with 3 choices of sauces, a Caesar salad on the side, assorted vegetables and fruits, biscuits with butter, stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy, chicken strips to put in the pasta if desired, and baked clams to top it all off.
"Okay guys you can come in!" She called a she took off her oven mitts and finished the last of the dishes. Temari walked in first as her face fell in awe; she had never cooked THAT much in that little time!
"How many did you cook for Sakura?! Twelve or three hundred?!" She asked walking over and grabbing a plate as Kankuro came down
"Okay let ea-" He cut himself off as his eyes widened
"Wow nice job Sakura" He said
"How did you know I didn't cook this?" Temari asked
"Because you can't cook this good" He said, earning a whack over the head
"Ow what was that for?!"
"I don't know I felt like it" Temari said before going up to her room to eat
"Sakura eat wherever you want" She called down
"Yea just not in my room" Kankuro finished before going back upstairs, but sakura decided to do neither as she opened the door
"I will be right back" She called in as she closed it. She started walking towards the school. She made it there is about 5 minutes and saw Gaara sitting in the tree as usual, so she walked up to him
"Hey Gaara I wanted to talk to you" She said
"Okay" He told her. She waited for him to say something else, but when he didn't she started
"Okay I guess I will start now. I am having renovations done on my house, so I asked Temari if I could crash with you guys for like a day or two. She said it was okay so when we get home I cooked dinner for everyone and I promise to stay out of your hair and I wont bug you and stuff" She told him with a small smile, trying to make it not too awkward
"Okay" He said as he got down from the tree and onto his feet as he walked up to her
"Let's go" He said as he walked ahead of her
Wow not the response I was expecting… She thought to herself before catching up to the walking Gaara.
"So you're ok?" She asked him
"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked her
"I don't know just checking…" She said before they reached Gaara's house and walked in, he walked into the Kitchen and stopped with her not to far behind
"Is something wrong?" She said, eyeing the stunned Gaara
"You made this all?" He asked looking at it. She blushed red before answering
"Yes…sorry if it's too much…" She said looking at the ground
"It's fine" he said as he made a dish and walked up to Sakura who moved out of his way, but he handed the dish forward. She blushed yet again as she took it
"Oh well thank you…" She said using her hair to lessen the impact of her red cheeks. He walked back up and made himself a plate before turning to her
"Are you going to eat in the guest room?" He asked
"Umm well I don't really know…where do you guys prefer eating?"
"Wherever" Yeah that totally helps me…
"Umm ok I guess I'll eat in my room…" She told him and he nodded before leading her to the stairs as he showed her the guest bedroom. The upstairs was just a small hallway, branching off into 5 other rooms. She went into her room and sat on the bed as she picked at her pasta, she looked up and noticed Gaara had already left as she took out her phone. It was only 6 o'clock and she was already getting tired. She turned on the TV in the room and ate with herself using the TV for back round noise.
After Sakura finished her dinner she went downstairs and washed all her dishes and put them in the fairly large dishwasher, she then proceeded upstairs again. She knocked on Kankuro's door and he opened it
"I'll take your plate if you are done" She said. He handed her 2 plates and said thank you as she left with a "your welcome." She proceeded downstairs as she washed and placed Kankuro's multiple dishes in the dishwasher. Next she went upstairs and grabbed Temari's as she did the same round. Finally it was Gaara's turn as she knocked on his door, receiving a come in. She opened and asked
"Gaara if you are done I could take your plate…" She said looking around for his plate, but it was no where in sight. She looked at the sitting Gaara
"Where is it?" She asked
"I already took care of it"
"But, when?!" She asked, shocked. He simply raised an eyebrow at her
"I am capable of washing dishes" He told her with a half smile
"Well I know that but, I was going up, and you were, how?!" She kept asking
"While you were still eating I took care of it"
"Oh, okay then…" She said feeling a little stupid
"It's fine" He told her
"Umm okay if you say so…" She said, and now having no reason to be standing there felt even more stupid
"Oh I'm sorry, I will go now" She said as she began to walk out
"I didn't say you had to go?" he sort of asked; more like a half question half statement
"Oh umm well, what do you want to do?" He just shrugged his shoulders and she walked inside, closing the door behind her as she stood there. She scanned the room for a seat since he was on the bed, and finding none decided to walk up to a wall and slide down and sat on the floor. He raised an eyebrow at her yet again, and she gave him a questioning look. So he got up and walked over to her, holding out his hand
"Get up" He said, and so she took his hand and got up
"Yes?" She asked
"Sit on the bed" He told her
"Oh but, no really I am ok it is yo-" he cut her off
"I will not allow you to sit on the floor" He said blatantly, and so she did not argue and sat on the edge of his bed and he snickered
"Oh my what now?" She asked
"You look as if your sitting on cement" Sakura felt her face heat up
"Well it's your bed so I feel sorta…ehh…" She told him blushing lightly as usual
"Would you like to-" she cut him off this time
"No its fine I promise!" She said smiling and he simply nodded. He shocked her a little bit with his next question
"I never really did get an answer from you, why did you slap Kankuro the other day?" He saw her face sink and move towards the wall as her memories stirred up, the pain captured in each flashback burned into her brain as if a photo. He saw her fist clench up on her lap, as a stray tear fell onto the floor.
"I'm sorry, you don't have to tell me" He said, trying to make up for the pain he caused. Suddenly she looked at him, cheeks red with fresh tears streaming down her face. It brought him pain to see her like this
"No, I want to tell you!" She said as the tears flowed freely now
"I need to tell someone" Her face turned towards the ground
"I was 11. My dad was …not right." Gaara tried to put the pieces together before Sakura sighed and looked him in the eye
"He tried to rape me" She said as more tears leaked out, Gaara's eyes opened up in shock at her words
"And my mother walked in" Her fist tightened even more
"She went to go call the police but he…killed her, before she could" Gaara could now understand her pain, all of it, how real it was to her
"I was 11…I didn't know what to do so I smashed my mothers glass doll over his head and hid…he tried to find me, said he was going to kill me like her. I took my mothers boning knives she had….she loved to cook" Gaara remembered her food and passion for it
"She used to sing to me…to calm me down…and so I took the knives, all 7 of them, and threw them as hard as I could. The pain shattered along with my childhood…I had to grow up so fast..." The tears continued as she talked. She neglected the fact that Gaara had approached her and was now sitting on the bed beside her
"Now whenever I feel scared or hurt…I sing to calm myself down and relax…it helps me keep a piece of her alive, it's all I have left…" She felt a finger slip under her chin as it glided her face up towards his, until finally their lips met in one blissful connection. Sakura's eyes were open, but then closed as soon as she realized what was going on. Their lips melded together like puzzle pieces as Sakura felt a jolt go throughout her body, a warm feeling rushed and overtook her as she lost herself in the moment. Her feelings merged into something new, something different. She felt as if she was floating on a bed of feathers, her tears slowed to a stop and her heart gently hammered in her chest, reminding her of the love that kept it beating. He showed her what it is like to love again, to put everything into another person and be completely open and vulnerable, and she liked it. She liked the soft feeling of Gaara's hand as it glided from under her chin to the side of her face. Everything became perfect as Sakura's heart steadied itself, now beating in perfect notion with the love that came pouring out of her heart and into her lips. He separated gently and slowly, still keeping his lips inches from hers. Her face was flushed and his was a light shade of red, but she was smiling
"I won't hurt you" He told her, and she smiled even larger before connecting their lips gently
"I'll take that as an approval?" He asked when she leaned back from the kiss
"Yes…it is" She told him while moving close to rest her head on his chest. His arm encircled her protectively
"As long as your mine, I wont let anyone hurt you" He whispered to her softly, the idea brought tears to her eyes as the spilled over silently, but Gaara could still tell
"Please don't cry…" He repeated well wiping her face clean
"Sorry…I'm just feeling so much now…its hard to tell what anything is" This made Gaara frown a little bit
"Well I know I really, really like you, its just I can't tell…how to tell you I guess" She confessed looking back up into his sea foam eyes
"Well you just did" He said before cradling her close
"As I feel the same" He told her, and this made Sakura smile as she closed her eyes using him as a pillow. Time passed so fast with Gaara sometimes, it seemed like minutes that turned into hours, it was now 7 o'clock and Sakura was exhausted
"I have to take a shower" He told her and she frowned, but her frown was replaced by a smile from the sudden kiss he gave her
"I'll miss you as well" He told her again before getting up and getting clothing for after the shower
"Don't take to long…" She said with a fake smile as he walked over
"I won't, promise" He said before pecking her on the lips and walking away. Sakura quickly ran downstairs and grabbed Temari who was watching TV, suddenly full of energy
"Oh em gee I have to tell you something!"
"Oh this sounds good! What happened?!"
"Gaara kissed me!" She said with such excitement as Temari grabbed her and they started jumping up and down yelling
"Oh my god when?! How?! Spill ALL the details!" Temari asked
"Well I was telling him about my past and stuff like that and then he just KISSED ME! I was so surprised but I'm so beyond happy right now!" Temari hugged her quickly
"Oh my god I'm so happy for you Sakura! I knew this was going to happen but I didn't want to say anything!"
"How did you know?!" She asked stunned
"Sakura I am his sister I know these things!"
"Okay if you say so!" They jumped and yelled a little bit more until Sakura heard the shower stop, and they stopped, she heard Gaara's door shut as she looked at Temari
"Go go go you little slow poke!" She said practically pushing her up the stairs. Sakura had to regain herself before knocking on Gaara's door; she was a little too happy and neglected to wait for his response before walking in. She turned beat red as she realized what had happened, she had walked in on him shirtless and now she was standing in the doorway looking like a frozen tomato. She gazed at him; it was as if he was cut out of stone. His body was skinny, but he was built under it all, his abs made Sakura blush the most, they were so well defined it was ridiculous. It was as if a god was standing in front of her. He walked over and shut the door behind her
"Oh well hello, would you mind shutting the door next time?" He asked her, then noticed her beat red face and starring at the floor and took advantage of it
"Is this awkward for you?" He asked, getting dangerously close to her as she backed up
"N-no no of course n-not! I'm good!" She lied, horribly
"Really? Are you sure?" He asked, she tried to back up more but now she was up against the wall
Dammit! She cursed in her head as he pressed himself close to her
"Umm G-Gaara…" She said, his lips hovering right above hers, torturing her more and more with each second
"I thought you said you were ok?" He asked as his hand went along the side of her body, moving all the way up to her face
"I ugh umm…ugh…" She could not think clearly at all. His lips finally made contact with hers fully; it was a sweet loving kiss with no bad intentions as sakura first thought. She wrapped her arms around his neck, molding herself to him as she deepened the kiss.
Eventually he broke it off and moved away
"Hmm putting a shirt on might be a good thing" He told her with a half smile as she realized she was being held against his bare chest, she blushed as he pulled away
"Umm ok yeah…" She said holding her hands behind her back. He smiled fully at her as he kissed her once more before moving back over to his drawers to grab a shirt. Once he had it on he turned in surprise to a Sakura who was standing behind him.
"Oh I didn't see you" But Sakura just wrapped her arms around him and snuggled close as his arms wrapped around her
"Well hi there" He told her with a smile
"Hello" She said as her eyes closed once again, always calmed by his embrace.
"You know its 8 o'clock?" He asked her
"Yes I do, why?" She asked
"I was just saying…don't girls go to bed early?" He asked her
"Umm sometimes? I guess" She told him while laughing silently and he shrugged. She looked up at him
"It wasn't a silly question" She said while leaning up to place her lips onto his, and this time he smiled into the kiss
"So what would you like to do?" He asked her once separated
"Can we watch some TV?"
"Sure, where would you like to?" He asked her
"How about my room?" She said
"Whatever you want is fine with me" He smiled to her. They walked to her room and took a seat on the bed as she curled up next to him. It did not take long for Sakura to fall sound asleep encircled in his arms.
One of Sakura's largest problems, she could never actually stay asleep. She woke up at about 12 midnight, or maybe it was 1 in the morning, she didn't know, but one thing she did know was that she wanted Gaara. He left her alone after she fell asleep, so she got up and walked to his room, the door was slightly cracked, maybe he knew she would come to find him? Who really knows, but she went in anyway. He was laying on the right side of the bed, so she crawled in on the left and poked him a little bit until his eyes opened
"Hi" She said timidly
"Hello" He said sleepily
"Do you mind if I stay with you?" She asked
"If that is what you want" He told her
"It is" She said with a smile
"Ok then" He said as his eyes fell a little. She smiled and closed her eyes, but after a minute opened them
"This wont work" She said as Gaara's eyes opened, but before he could ask she moved herself close to him and hugged him, using his chest as her pillow
"Perfect…" She said as she started to daze off, his hands wrapped around her and he kissed her hair lightly
"Goodnight, my lovely cherry blossom" Were the last words before she slipped unconscious with her love for Gaara still echoing in her dreams.
