-----------------------------A New Friend, Saku-chan---------------------------------------
Ninja were carrying loads of brick, wall and cement out of the small apartment.
In the ally way facing the broken wall was where the other half of the rubble had fallen. The ninja cleaning and preparing the apartment planned on cleaning the mess in the ally after they had cleaned the apartment and remade the wall.
But little did they know, that under the rubble was a white kitten getting crushed. Her brother was a black kitten, he was trying to dig her out with his own little paws, but sadly was trying in vane. He was too small to move the bricks and if he did they'd crush him anyway.
"Mew, meow meow." The black kitten was meowing sadly. At this rate his sister was surely going to be crushed to death.
-----------------------------A New Friend, Saku-chan------------------------------------------
Naruto got into his fighting stance, ready to break lose.
Sakura was getting ready setting up her medic gear about 20 meters away.
'Know those two they'll have all sort of injures!' said inner Sakura
"Tai-justu, so no sand!" said Naruto, more like announced.
"I know Naruto." said Gaara as he dropped his gourd on the ground gently and leaned it against a tree. Gaara stood ready and Naruto lunched with a punch. Gaara caught it but then
BOOM
The two were blown were blown away from each other as something exploded between. Naruto jumped into the trees trees as far away as he could but still close enough to see the others but the fire after the explosion blazed high in the trees and wide and he soon lost sight.
Gaara ran in the opposite direction and grabbed Sakura. He kept running with her in his arms and they just missed the explosion as it grew to its fullest. The trees burn and the ground was on fire as well.
The two sat crouched meters away and Gaara had his arm around Sakura protectively. They watched the trees burn and the smoke rise. Naruto came running to them, dodging bits of falling branches.
He as he reached them he asked urgently "IS EVERYONE OK?!"
Sakura nodded. "Yeah we're fine..." Said Gaara.
"This is just like what happened this morning! Someone is seriously trying to kill us!!" Screamed a totally freaked out Naruto.
"WHAT?! This morning?! What the hell happened this morning?!!!" Sakura jumped out of Gaaras grasp and asked the two very alarmed.
Gaara stood calming and answered Sakura. "This morning, someone blew up Narutos apartment wall... Someones trying to taunt us, or kill us, if they're trying to kill us they're doing a crap job so far. Excuse my fowl language Sakura. So now, Naruto and I have nowhere to stay."
Sakura threw her arms up in the air and said "Then you're staying with me! Like it or not! And there is decently room for you two! Besides you'll really like it, its like a hotel!"
"OK we'll just finish this fight-" Naruto tried to continue but was cut off by pinky.
"No! You're coming with me getting your stuff and setting up in my house!!" She said excited.
She grabbed their hands and dragged them out of the forest, or whats really left of it.
Naruto and Gaara tried to pull away from her grip and convince her to continue training.
"B-but training!! The fight!" Naruto exclaimed and waved his free arm around.
Gaara sighed and just said "Naruto just go with it, shes in a screeching mood..."
Naruto sighed and walked along with Sakura. They entered the markets and went down some streets when Naruto pointed and shouted "Hey look!! Its the back of my apartment!"
They stopped walking and Naruto dragged them down the alleyway.
It was dark and rubble was everywhere. Then they heard a soft "Meow...meow...meow..." They walked around the large pile of rubble and saw black kitten digging at the rubble.
"Aww the poor thing" Sakura said crouched behind the little cat, but then she saw a little white paw sticking out of the rubble that the black kitten was digging at. The reason the cat was trying to dig in the rubble because he was trying to get something out! Another kitten!!
Sakura gasped, pulled the black kitten away then started moving the bricks off the little kitten quickly. In a few short seconds she had uncovered the little white kitten and gently it up.
The little white cat wasn't concise, it was cut and bleeding, her fur was crimson in bloody patches.
It was a girl, and she was barely alive. A few more minutes she would have been killed.
The black kitten bounced over to the white kitten and started to lick the blood off her carefully. Both kittens were only the size of each of her hands.
"What are you going to do with them Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto as Sakura stood up.
Sakura handed Naruto the black kitten and answered. "I'll heal them up and then take them home. Then I'll ask Tsunade if i can keep them. Tomorrow I'll take them to Kiba sister and see if theres anything i need to know or need to buy for them."
She used her chakra and healed her white kitten. Sakura could feel the bones mending and the mussels coming together. When she was fully heal the kitten slowly opened her eyes and to reveal beautiful crimson eyes.
"Wow..." she whispered. The kitten and closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
The black kitten meowed to his sister the whole walk home.
-----------------------------A New Friend, Saku-chan------------------------------------------
The three threw the grove of Sakura and Jacaranda trees to the place where Sakura and now the boys would live.
"Wow..." Naruto whispered as he saw Sakura's house come into view.
Sakura laughed and said "Yeah, I know! Tsunade house is huge, I told you theres room."
Sakura opened the door and walked through. They walked into her room and Naruto and Sakura put the kittens on her bed. The black kitten played with her pink teddy and Sakura laid down the white kitten down gently.
The black kitten had a few scratched so Sakura healed them up, as she did so the black kitten looked straight at her. It was only then she realized that his eyes were violet!!
"Guys these cats have the most amazing eyes! Look this ones eyes are purple! And the white kitten has crimson ones!"
The boys looked at the kitten and sure enough the kitten looked up at them with beautifulviolet eyes.
"Whoa thats awesome!!" said Naruto "Yes it is unusual..." Agreed Gaara.
The white kitten yawned and curled up with the black kitten. Together they looked like ying and yang.
Sakura smiled and then said "OK I'll show you guys to your rooms and give a tour."
The guys nodded and followed her out, they walked down the hallway, the room on the left side of Sakura's was Gaara's, it was furnished with black and silver, and on her right was Naruto's room which was furnished with colours of blue and metallic white. Both were as big as Sakura's.
Down the left side of the hall was the toilet but they all had their own privet bathrooms.
At the end of their tour hours had passed and it was dark outside. They went down to the kitchens Sakura made dinner. Ramen for Naruto and stir fry for Gaara and herself.
"That was good Sakura-chan!" Said Naruto contently as he laid back into his cushions.
"I agree, you're a good cook Sakura-chan" Gaara complemented quitely.
Sakura flushed from the complements.
There was a large glass window the moon shone through at the time and the curtons were tried back. The three were lounging around the candle lit table just enjoying the peaceful moment for a long time.
20 minutes later
"Well" Gaara said quitely "I think I'll go have a shower" He excused himself and walked out the room.
"Yeah" Sakura turned to Naruto as Gaara left "You want a shower too? I'm just gonna get changed into my pjs" she asked.
"Mm! A shower sounds good right now" Agreed Naruto and they walked back up the stairs to the next level of the house.
"You still have your showers in the morning Sakura-chan?"
"Yeah but i think I'll have a shower tonight anyways" Naruto walked her to her room and then went for a shower himself.
True to her word Sakura decided to have a shower after all. She washed her hair then changed into her pjs.
Her pjs were new, they were silk pink pants with a Chinese top. Both had red patterns throughout them and on top was a silk red gown that had a gold dragon on the back.
She walked though her drapes and though her door. Sakura stared at the ground as she walked.
'Gaara's been really quire lately, if i wasnt mistaken its really been since that...' Sakura swallowed 'kiss...' She blushed the more she thought about it and her mind ran wild of her and Gaara doing thing... alittle more than kissing.
She shook those thoughts away but one kept coming back, it was the wonder of how someone that was once so cold could now be... so kind.
'was he always like this so kind, so quite... so calm? What is it that broke him, that changed him into what he was?'
She smiled as she thought about Gaara and herself, when inner Sakura decided to rear her ugly head.
'The hug.. the night of the thunderstorm and not to mention that KISS! My god that boy has some lips! And what have to done? You haven't asked him out OR made a move. Why are you so scared of being hurt again?!'
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she walked into something hard, but soft and ...warm?
She rubbled her nose and looked up... and was greeted with the sight of a wet, shirtless Gaara of the sand...
with only a black towel on.
Sakura went as red as mars. "G-gaara, umm, where are your clothes?" she mentally smacked herself, personally she couldn't think of anything more stupid to say if she tried.
"Sorry to be walking around like this, Narutos got my stuff in his room" Gaara apologized.
"Hehe, its ok" Sakura said with a smile "I'll just... get out of your way now." 'wow awkward!'
Gaara nodded and walked to Narutos room. He knocked and walked in.
X-x-X
Sakura went into the theater room, when she heard the front door open. She ran through the house and down the stares and to the front door... and saw her mother handing her green kimono jacket.
"Tsunade!" She said and hugged her.
"Hey Sakura-chan" Tsunade hugged her back "Do you have... someone over?" She asked, her eyes looking around and Sakura could tell Tsunade heard them.
"Yeah i offered Naruto and Gaara to stay until their apartment is repaired. Speaking of which, i found two kittens, one was being crushed to death in the rubble, but we saved her. And i was wondering... can we keep them?" She asked with her cutest puppy dog face.
Tsunade sighed and agreed "Ok... but you are the one looking after them!"
"Yay!"
-----------------------------A New Friend, Saku-chan------------------------------------------
Sakura got the popcorn out of the micowave and went up stares to the theater room. When she got there, she sat in the middle of Gaara and Naruto.
Tsunade had gone to sleep a few minutes ago and they all said goodnight.
The three were watching a horror movie called 'The Night Of The Living Dead'
(i just made that up so if there is a movie called this dont hate me because i didnt write what really happened!)
Naruto was glued to the TV sometimes saying "i would of used ransangan and saved her!" or "i soo would of easily killed that zombie... and got the girl of course."
Gaara was interested enough. He watched the movie contently but kept glancing at Sakura as she jumped and shivered or avoid the screen at the scary parts.
Unlike Sakura, Naruto leaned forward so much that he almost fell of the couch, which was huge.
In the movie
the boy was hiding in a dark room from the werewolf but as he turned his head he saw a dead girl walk from the black mirror of stone. Frozen in fear he sat and feebly tried to stand, to get away.
The corpse girl moved closer and crouched infront of him. Slowly, she gently put her cold dead hands on each side of his head and he stopped moving... but then...
quite abruptly, she ripped off his head.
Sakura screamed and wrapped her arms around the closest thing.
Which somehow happened to be Gaara...
somehow...
Naruto fell off the couch, still watching as the little boys blood squirted and poured out his neck.
Gaara picked up the remote while Sakura laying ontop of him, her eyes closed and clinging to his neck, shaking. He turned off the tv and stroked Sakura's back calming her down.
Naruto was still on the floor...
Sakura snapped back into reality and looked up at Gaara. He gazed back down at her and asked her "Are you ok now, Sakura?" His voice was quite and almost blank, but betrayed the tiniest bit of concern only she heard.
Sakura gently picked herself up of Gaara and smiled feebly.
"Y-yeah" She swallowed.
Gaara sat up and looked at Naruto. "Hey, you ok?"
Naruto sprung up and said "That was awesome!!"
Sakura looked away and let out a shaky laugh.
"Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto whom was now on the floor with a pillow and blanket, now discovering he felt he liked the view better from down there.
"Mm?" She asked turning to him.
"Can we watch something else?"
"Sure but not horror." She cut him off as he wen to surrgest something. "How about Bruce almighty?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Agreed Naruto.
Gaara had no idea what the movie was but played along anyway.
X-x-X
Throughout the movie Naruto laughed hysterically, Sakura along with him. It even got a few laughs out of Gaara!
3 quarters through the movie Naruto got tied and went to bed and by the end of the movie Sakura had fallen asleep on Gaara.
Gaara just stared at her, long after the movie had finished and eventually picked her up and took her to her room.
He walked though her hangings and placed her gently on her bed.
The little kittens came over to Gaara, licked his hands in hello and then snuggled up to Sakura and slept.
Gaara looked at Sakuras angelic face as she slept. In her sleep she was free of pain and memory's of Sasuke, she was in peace with the world and herself.
Gaara stroked a piece of hair out of her face and wondered about the spell she had somehow cast apon within the year they had known each other.
"Sakura what... why do i...why am i..." Gaara struggled to find the words to express his confusion and feelings but lost them as she mumbled slightly in her sleep, showing that if he continued talking she would surely wake.
The black kitten with purple eyes looked up and meowed in understanding. It was only a kitten but somehow Gaara felt asthough that he cared deeply for his pink haired friend and he watched the kitten watch over his sister.
Gaara got up and went to leave but stopped to look at the sleeping kunoichi once more.
"Goodnight... Saku-chan." with that he left the room and problem went to go sit on the buildings rooftop where he would only think further, about Sakura Haruno.
