Here's another chapter. Hope you all like it.

Sakura woke up and Gaara was gone. There was a pile of clothes on the table. She stood up and went over to the clothes. She noticed that they were hers. She heard a soft growling sound and turned around. She saw Ryurio. "How could I have forgotten about you." She picked him up and started to pet him. "I'm so sorry for leaving your there." She set him down on the bed and grabbed the clothes. "Stay here I'm going to get a shower." She then went to the bathroom and turned the shower on. She took off her clothes and got in. She scrubbed her entire body wanting to make sure all traces of Sasuke were gone. She rinsed herself off then got out of the shower. She dried herself off then put her clothes on. She brushed her hair then left the bathroom.

She picked Ryurio up and left Gaara's room. She found him in the kitchen. Ryurio jumped out of her hands and walked around the room making sure everything was alright. She walked up behind Gaara and gave him a hug. "Thank you Gaara." She let him go and he turned around. He grabbed her and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She heard Ryurio start growling. They parted and turned towards Ryurio. He was sitting in front on Temari growling. Her face turned bright red. "Uh Temari."

Temari looked at Gaara. She smiled then left. She blushed even more when she heard her stomach growl. She heard a slight chuckle from Gaara. "I'm going to make some breakfast you want some?"

"Hn." Sakura pulled out everything she would need to make an omelet. She made two omelets and put them on a plate. She handed one to Gaara and she took the other one. At noon Sakura left to meet up with Naruto. He came back from his training last night and she wanted to talk to him before the exams tomorrow.

She went to Ichiraku and saw Naruto sitting in his regular seat eating ramen. She sat next to him and ordered some ramen. "Hey Naruto. Welcome back."

"Hey Sakura."

"The final round of the chuunin exams are tomorrow. How do you think you will do?"

Naruto answered with his mouth full of ramen so Sakura couldn't understand him. Sakura just nodded ate her ramen and occasionally gave some to Ryurio. She left after she finished saying good-bye to Naruto. She went to the park at sat underneath the cherry blossom tree. She set Ryurio in her lap and pet him. She leaned her back against the tree and stared at the sky. A light breeze blew cherry blossom petals around her. She felt someones chakra approach and when she looked up she saw Gaara. She smiled at him and he sat next to him. She leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Sakura."

"Hm."

"I talked to Temari. She said I should get this for you." He held up a ring. It was a simple silver ring but Sakura liked it. "She said you might like to get married and have wedding." He said quietly as if he was unsure of what she thought.

She took the ring and looked at it. Engraved on the instead were the words Mine Forever. She put it on her left middle finger. She saw that Gaara had the exact same ring as her just bigger. She kissed him on the cheek not wanting to disturb the sleeping Ryurio. They stayed like that until the sun started to set. Gaara walked Sakura back to her house and only left her alone since her parents had returned. She walked inside and saw that her mom was watching the television. Her mom looked up and saw Ryurio. She gave Sakura a questioning look. "Where did you get him?"

"I found him. He was injured so I took him in."

"Your father won't like it put I'll get him to let you keep him."

She ran over to her mom and hugged her. "Thanks mom." Sakura went up to get room. She knew her parents were not her actual parents. She's known for awhile because her mom had black and her dad had brown hair and hers was pink but she wasn't going to let it stop her from calling them her parents since they took care of her. She got ready for bed and fell asleep with Ryurio at the foot of her bed.

You all might be thinking what's up with this chapter but it was just a filler chapter because I haven't finished the third exam one. So yes this chapter might be a little short. Hope you still like the chapter though. R&R
