Later that night Sakura came back as Cherry to talk to Gaara at his office. She walked in and saw a glowing Ino next to a happy Shikamaru, guessing that they hadn´t told anyone Sakura smirked and said to them. "Congratulations." Making everybody else look at them puzzled.
Ino just ignored them and smiled even brighter. "Thanks." She said taking Shikamaru's hand and looking up to him.
"I asked you to come here to hear the plans for the first job we´ll be working on as a team." Gaara said walking up to them with a paper in his hand. "Oh and congrats." He said to Ino and Shika who both smiled.
"Ok, what´s going on here, why are you congratulating them?" Temari who Sakura hadn´t noticed said from the crowd. Ino was almost bouncing and looked up at her husband with pleading eyes.
When he gave her a slight nod she exploded. "WE'RE PREGNANT!" Everybody was silent for a second before the three girls that worked with Ino ran up to her hugging her to death.
"I'm so happy for you guys, when did this happen?" Tenten asked letting go of Shikamaru that she had been hugging too. "We just found out today." He answered smiling. Gaara allowed this to go on for a few minutes before he called them to attention.
"This is a high risk job that we´ve been waiting with to take action when the time is right." Everybody were either sitting or standing up to a wall listening to him as he explained what it was about. "We haven´t had someone like Cherry before so we couldn´t take the risk at doing this but now that she´s working with us we can finally put this in action."
Shino then spoke up the question that all were thinking. "Why do we need someone like her to be able to do this?" Gaara looked at Sakura who already suspected why they needed her for it and what the job was and she was not happy about it.
"We need an insider and Cherry is the only one that can get the job done." Gaara said making Naruto jump up protecting. "You´re not putting her in that kind of danger Gaara, I just got her back." Sakura walked to him and placed a hand on his shoulder making him sit back down.
"It´s alright Naruto, I won´t leave you again just yet." She then turned to Gaara and asked. "You´re going to make me join Sound, aren´t you detective?" Gaara just nodded and watched as Sakura held her adopted older brother down in his chair with only one hand.
"There´s a reason why we haven´t done this yet Gaara, why do you think she´ll be able to do it?" Shikamaru asked logically.
"Because I'm a former member of Sound, they will most likely question me but if I hold my cards right I should be able to get back in." Sakura answered him never taking her eyes of her boyfriend.
"Where is your tattoo then, I don´t see it?" Neji asked her.
Sakura had taken of her leather jacked and was only wearing the short tube top that exposed her lower back and stomach along with her arms. "Unlike the other members I didn´t want to advertize what gang I was in so it´s on a more discreet place on my body."
That made most of the male population look down at the lower half of her body making the females in there shake their heads. "If you think I'm gonna show you then don´t hold your breaths." Sakura said and sat down on her brother crossing her arms.
"As Cherry said, she´ll go and join Sound and give us inside information about what they´re working on. As you all know there have been disappearances around and in north town and most of them point to Sound." Gaara said the last part looking directly at Neji.
Sakura turned her head and looked at him smirking, so this is what he thought she had done. "As you also know, most of the ones that disappeared were found dead somewhere in south town." Gaara continued making Sakura's head snap up with wide eyes.
"Why hasn´t there been anything about this on the news or even on the streets?" She asked sharply.
"We've been keeping this on low profile." Kankuro answered making Sakura snort. "You cops don´t know the meaning of that, every time you try it somehow ends as the most common knowledge were I work."
That turned a few heads and woke a few questions as well. "What do you mean by that?" Tenten asked her. "What I mean is that you´re lousy at keeping secrets." Sakura answered bluntly.
Gaara snapped his finger getting the attention back to him. "It´s not out on the streets yet ´cause the only ones that know this are sitting in this room and they are all people that I trust for this information."
Sakura stood up and grabbed her jacket pulling it on. "If I'm gonna do this I better get going. Hinata-san can I sign the contract now?" Hinata nodded and took out a paper handing it to Sakura who quickly signed it and handed it back.
"You don´t want to read it over first?" The lawyer asked. "No I trust you." Sakura said and was about to walk out when Gaara grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear so only she heard him. "Don´t go do something reckless, I expect to see you tonight." Sakura just gave a short nod and walked out of the building to make her preparations.
When Sakura came home that night Gaara was asleep on her couch. She looked at the clock and it read 03:34. She just walked to the bathroom and pulled her wig of and jumped in to the shower.
When she was done Gaara was awake and making some tee for them. "Were did you go?" He asked her as he gave her a sweet kiss. "Just to get some stuff from a friend of mine." Sakura said deepening the kiss.
"Ino called, I told her you were staying with a sick friend and wouldn´t be home until late." Gaara handed her a cup and sat down as he said that. She nodded and sat next to him with the cup in her hand.
"How do you take your coffee?" She asked out of the blue. "Milk no sugar, why?" He asked surprised at the strange question.
Sakura just smiled at the answer and mumbled. "White like an angel and bitter like a broken heart." She then took a sip and changed the subject. "I think I should tell some of the team who I really am, it would make the poses much easier."
Gaara looked at her and asked. "How so?" Placing her cup down she turned to him. "Most of them are my friends, my good friends, and I wouldn´t have to worry about getting caught with you as Cherry if I can just call them over for a cup of tee and tell them the information I gather here. They´d never suspect a pink haired dancer to be the infamous Cherry Blossom and wouldn´t question why you guys came over here so often."
Gaara nodded thinking it over. "It´s your chose, I don´t see anything wrong with it, but you do realize that your friends might never look at you the same way again." Sakura nodded and pushed her wet hair from her face. "I know but I'm willing to risk it. I think I might know what Sound´s up to but I need to be sure."
Gaara looked at her and was about to ask her what she thought but stopped when he realized that she would probably not tell him. "Who are you going to tell?" He asked instead.
"Naruto of course, Ino and most likely Shika and Hinata too. What do you think?" Gaara nodded and looked at her. "Those four are fine but if it comes to it you might have to tell others about who you are."
Sakura nodded and stood up pulling him with her. "I know and if it comes to it I'll do it, but until then it will only be you five that know my secret and hold the key to my life or death. Now come to bed, I think you would like to see were my tattoo is just so you know something they don´t." Gaara smirked at her and followed her in to the bedroom.
