Chapter 13

Getting Serious Relationship

It has been about a week since Sakura came to Suna. She finally got settled and everything was looking good. Gaara had been named Kazekage and her his assistant. She didn't mind being put to work, it made her feel useful. Gaara was usually at the office a lot, there wasn't much work for her yet, so she would stay at his house and wait for him to come home.

That night when he walked through the door she could tell something was wrong but she didn't want to pry. She simply continued cooking, as she turned around to set the table she was spooked to find Gaara standing behind her. She gasped slightly dropping the dishes, luckily for her Gaara's sand caught them before shattering to the floor. Sakura chuckled nervously while picking the dishes up. As she continued to the table she asked,

"Is something wrong?"

Gaara just shook his head. She knew he was lying but she wasn't about to call him out on it. She finished setting the table and added,

"Well how was your day? Busy as always Lord Kazekage?"

She smiled up at him as she moved back to the stove. He smiled, she knew that he loved when she called him that, he nodded and replied,

"as always…"

She brought the food to the table and watched him sit down. The dinner conversation was light chit chat.

"How was your day assistant?"

She laughed,

"It was alright, not much to do today, I got a little board, but I got a lot of cleaning done…"

"Well Miss Haruno what shall we do to prevent your boredom?"

He smiled at her, she knew he was teasing her but she wasn't going to acknowledge it.

"Well since you mentioned it Lord Kazekage…"

He smiled at her feeling that she was about to walk right into his trap,

"would it be possible…for me to volunteer my time to the hospital?"

His smile faded slightly, that was not what he was expecting. The both had finished their meals at this point and were just staring at each other. She knew she got him, she smiled sweetly and continued,

"Your answer to this question will determine your questions answer…"

He couldn't help but laugh at her,

"Well then my Dear Sakura if that is the case I do believe you know the answer to your question."

With that a huge smiled came to her face. She stood up and took their plates to the sink. He thought she forgot his question or perhaps she didn't even know that he was about to suggest something until he felt her arms around his neck. He looked up at her only to be met with her beautiful bright green eyes and her gorgeous smile. She leaned down to him,

"Thank you…Lord Kazekage…"

She kissed him softly. He smiled into her kiss as tangled his hand in hair while the other rested on her face. She was so soft, he loved this feeling of being with her. Having her here with him, to know how precious she is to him and let her know in little instances like this was what kept him alive and happy. He lived his entire life not knowing this feeling and he wanted to savior it forever. She pulled away from him slightly just enough to so he could see her face. Her cheeks were a slight shade of pink. He just stared at her studying her features. Her face turned a darker pink as she got more self-conscious as he stared at her. She slowly went back to the sink and started to wash the dishes. What was this feeling? His body felt hot, like he needed to shower to cool down. All he wanted to do was to touch her, to feel her lips on his. Walking up behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder, he sighed, breathing in her sent. He truly did love her. He wanted nothing more than to keep her happy. She knew how bad she wanted him and could sense how bad he wanted her but teasing him was so much fun. She continued with the dishes as he rubbed her stomach. She smiled slightly but was shocked once he spun her around and kissed her. She felt like jelly any time he touched her, kissed her, showed his feelings for her. She kissed him back with the same intensity and softness which he had. He couldn't help but hold her close to him. She placed her hands on his face pulling him into her. She closed her eyes enjoying the taste of him. He wrapped his arms tighter around her waist, picking her up. She gasped a little, wrapping her arms around his neck, he caught her by surprise, he had never done this. They had kissed a few times before but nothing this intense. He turned her around with him and started walking. She instinctly wrapped her legs around his waist, causing a low cowl to escape his lips. He walked them over to the table, placing her down he kissed her more passionately than he had ever before. She laid back slightly his hands on her back keeping her from falling. She pulled his shirt making him come to her, as she laid flat on the table. They were both so preoccupied with the situation that they didn't hear the door open. All of a sudden Kankuro cleared his throat. Sakura sat up instantly going bright red. She stood up and quickly excused herself to the bathroom. Kankuro whistled,

"Now I understand why you wanted her to stay with you and not Temari."

Gaara glared at him,

"what do you want Kankuro?"

Kankuro smiled,

"The meeting is about to start.."

Gaara nodded,

"I will be there in a moment."

As he turned to walk away Kankuro replied,

"ok…I'll let you two finish…"

He chuckled slightly as a sand bolt knocked him out the door and closed it. Gaara slowly walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door…no answer.

"Sakura…"

No reply again,

"I am sorry…I didn't mean to…"

Sakura opened the door slowly and laughed,

"Oh my gosh that was embarrassing…"

She cleared her throat and added,

"It's alright…ah well you better go to your meeting. I'll clean up everything here…I'll see you when you get home."

He smiled at her and hugged her close to him. She hugged him back while whispering,

"I will see you when you return my Kazekage…"

She leaned up and kissed him softly. He was a bit shocked, hers. He smiled as he headed out the door, closing it behind him. Hers. He liked the sound of that.
