Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto -tear-
"A touch of poison seals my fate
The dawn echoes the night with my glory; The Sun himself honors me.
Once king of roses, now lord of gold
Blessed with the gift of gilded touch; The Gods themselves envy my hand.
Fate wields its knife to cut the thread, I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly, I long for you, my only love."
-Alesana, Ambrosia
'Sasuke-kun…Why… Why did you hurt the village, Naruto….me?'
The raven hair boy snickered as he raised his blade high up for the sun's beam to reflect against it.
'Because my dear Sakura, I never liked any of you. You're all weak; foolish to think I would ever come back to this pathetic place.'
He crept closer to her as he breathe hitched and her eyes made the tears that were running down her face.
'Goodbye Haruno Sakura. I never loved you, never will'
He grin as his blade was forced hard towards her face. She couldn't move, only watched, only said.
'I always will love you…..'
She opened her eyes and grabbed the comforter of the bed tightly. Her body was covered in a layer or sweat and her eyes burned of salty tears.
'It was a dream; Just a dream…'
Though she slept she felt her body weak. Feeling heavy as she laid in bed. She stared at the ceiling. She counted all the tilts on it; there were 125 tilts. She wanted to get up but her body had other plans. She let out a loud sigh and bit the upper part of her lips. Feeling it's dryness from a cold night.
She hated nights like that; nights she dreamt of him. He still haunted her dreams at least twice a month. Though she knew they were worst before when it was three times a week. Still it sicken her to feel so vulnerable in her dreams and that Sasuke had the power to do that. He was her weakness. What little childish dreams she was having, she's seventeen years old and hasn't once been kissed because she waited for Sasuke to be her first. How sad that all her friends had someone, they probably already had sex! She once saw a ummm man package but in a medic book.!
She groaned to herself and punched the mattress where her hand once laid. Surprising nothing was damaged in that spot; Sakura was to tired to add force to her punch. She groaned again and turned to her side. She widen her eyes at the eyes that stared back at her.
"I see someone didn't sleep so well…." Sakura felt her body tremble as Gaara kept his eyes on her.
"You know if you were to hot under the covers you could had easily taken it off."
Sakura forgot that she was covered in her sweat; the stickiness she felt as her body touched the comfortable on top of it.
"Yeah, I guess I just didn't feel like taking it off."
"Do you always get angry and punch your mattress in the morning too?"
The red-head said tiredly, not moving at all. She couldn't just tell him about her dream. He would think she's just a dumb girl, like he doesn't already think that. She needs to keep her pathos to herself.
"Oh no I just…. I just forgot to pack my… toothpaste!"
She attempted to smile that showed her prefect lined teeth, maybe he'll believe her.
" You do know this place provides that right?"
He arched he skin where eyebrows were suppose to be.
"Oh well silly me I forgot. Hehe well better take care of this morning breathe.!"
She hoped out of the bed and rushed to the bedroom. Gaara remained in bed confused. He knew that pink hair girl was weird; She was bi-polar, she likes to learn, she cries a lot and of course she has pink hair! Gaara remembers hearing her whimper at night. He remembers turning to look at the tears running down her face, seeing her in misery.
He doesn't remember the last time she cried, at least in front of people. She did that time when that Uchiha Sasuke had come back. Since then she kept her emotion other than happy or angry in lock.
But seeing her crying right now in her sleep; Gaara felt this contrition grow in his body. Should he just let her cry or wake her up and ask what's wrong.? He slowly lifted his hand and reached to the pinklette's shoulder. His hand shadowed her shoulder and her long hair that scattered her body tickled the tips of his fingers. He stood still, frighten on how she would react to him waking her up. To touch her in her most fragile state.
He knew it would be awry for him, and he knew the temper that would come out from the small girl. He retreated his hand and tucked in back underneath the covers. But he still stared at her. Her inhales were long and her exhales were sharp. He decided to turn the other way and go back to sleep. He had a long day ahead and he wasn't going to be cranky all because he was staring at the pinklette sleep.
The morning shower was just what Sakura needed. The dried up salty sweat trickled down her body and down the drain. She watched as her hair hung down heavy in front of her, covering her breast and reaching her hip bones. She did need to gain some weight, all the work Lady Tsunade has her doing makes her skip lunch breaks and late night ramen time with Naruto.
But she went back on concentration on the water. The cold water sent chills up and down her body and made her feel wide awake. She scrupled the heaping amount of her organic cherry shampoo on her head and scrubbed her body with cherry scented body wash. She loved the smell of cherries; it was also her favorite fruit.
Minutes felt like seconds as her skin became like a prune and her shivers replayed over and over again. She turned off the water and stepped out to feel the cold breeze of the a.c in the room flow through the small open bottom of the door.
She got changed quickly remembering there is a fretful red head waiting for her to get ready. They were allowed to dress casual so she was able to wear some new clothes she got awhile ago.
'This girl is going to make me wait forever?'
Gaara sat antsy on the loveseat. He played with the fabric of the chair and let his eyes wonder around the room. He then noticed the book and a MP3 on the table next to him.
'This must be the book Sakura was reading, and her MP3.'
He looked at the bathroom door, seeing if she was about to come out, but the water still ran. He grabbed her book and scanned through the pages. He wondered how a girl like her isn't disturbed by the disorders these people have in the book. Or better yet in the hospital. She wants to be the greatest medic; how could she handle all those ill people.?
It amazed him that Sakura went to the hospital happy to start working. He didn't have the same aspirations she had to care for people to their healthy state. All he did was protect them from enemies and make sure they stay happy in Suna.
Gaara put down the book and began to play with the folds of his loose fit bistre colour jeans. He did enjoy the feeling of wearing casual clothes; the material so different from his ninja attire. He looked down at his Dethklok tee; it was so foreign for him to wear band tees and jeans. He made sure not to be greedy with this offer.
"Hey, I'm ready."
Sakura came out from the bathroom. Her still wet hair pulled up in a bun
with the drips running down her neck to her collarbone. She fixed the spaghetti straps of her cornsilk colour tank top complimented with a periwinkle hue cotton skirt that fell above her knees. Her low heel beige strap sandals made a cluck sound as she approached to Gaara. He sat there in shock. He's never seen Sakura look so feminine and youthful.
"Ummm you ok?"
The pinklette waved her hand over the red-heads face, taking him out of his conversation in his mind.
"Yea, I'm good. Now let us be going."
He stood up and dusted off the imaginary dirt on his jeans. Sakura walked towards the table and grabbed her MP3 and book; swinging around with a calcariferous smile on her face. Gaara only stared yet again at the pinklette. How natural it was for her to look so sweet and humane. I confused him so much.
"You can go ahead. I need to look though my luggage for a purse and then we can head off."
He nodded and headed to the door; opening it just to see the perfect person he wanted to see.
"HI KAZEKAGE-KUN!"
Keikei shouted so loud that Sakura jumped from the beleaguer screech of her voice. Gaara just glared at the girl, wishing she would just vanish into thin air.
"Ready for our wonderful day together!"
She went to hug Gaara before he slid to the side, causing her to fall face first to the ground. Sakura had to cover her mouth with her hand to control the laughter that wanted to come out.
"Umm you do remember Sakura right? Remember; pink hair, 5'2 and oh yea my soon to be wife?"
Keikei bounced up from her embarrassing fall and lifted up her strapless top. Gaara didn't care for the girl's to large hanging breast or the pounds of makeup that laid on her face.
"Yea, I remember her. Doesn't mean we cant spend time together Kazekage-kun.! Plus she looks to be busy with her book."
Gaara looked passed KeiKei's shoulders to Sakura approaching them with the book open in her hand and her eyes glued to the words on the paper. She walked passed the two and stopped for a quick second to look back.
"Ready guys?"
She smiled before she began to walk down the hall to the exist. KeiKei grabbed the sleeve of the red-heads shirt and tugged on it.
"Ready Kazekage-kun!"
Gaara physical gave her his typical emotionless expression. But deep inside he was upset. The pound him his heart slowed down and his eyes stared at the pink hair figure walk away. He sighed to himself before locking the door and walking side by side with KeiKei.
Howdy everyone! How do you guys like the way I'm typing this now? Does it make it easier to read? And I know I said the chapters will be longer (sorry!) but I wanted this one to led to the events that will happen that day! Promise the next chapter will be grand and you all will shout "YAY"
