Gaara looked down at Sakura his eyes full of worry, "Why did you jump in?! You could have been seriously hurt." his tone was that of worry and she giggled.

"I'm sorry panda-Chan," she teased, "But I didn't want you to get hurt."

Chapter 24... I think lolz

The week after that went by slowly, Summer was coming to an end and the families were getting ready to send their kids back to school the gangs were setting up competitions before the school days hit. Teens were getting their shopping done for the newest fall fashion trends. Sakura sat at home looking out her window. She knew she wanted Gaara her mind, heart, and soul told her that news, But what about Sasuke, He wasn't going to give her up with out a fight to the death. The pink haired girl knew that. So how could this possibly work?

There was only one thing she could think of to stop the war for a little while, let them have a battle. She sighed this wouldn't be good her lover and her ex-lover fighting over her Doesn't sound like fun. She shook her head no way would a fight break out between them if she could help it. She would come out and tell them what was going on in her head even if it killed her in the long run.

~Later that day~

Gaara and Sakura were walking threw the park hand in hand, Sakuras heart was pounding her stomach tied in knots and she thought she was going to be sick, The good kind of sick not the bad kind. Her mom told her this was what love felt like. She looked at Gaara and felt her heart fluttered and butterflies rise in her stomach. She knew then she was in love with the fiery haired boy she has known all her life.

He looked down and smiled at her making her heart jump and a smile appear on her face in response. Her emerald eyes shined in the sun light making them dance. Gaaras chest swelled in pride knowing she was his and his alone. His stomach did flips when she smiled at him he was so tempted to kiss those Cherry lips of hers.

Sakura blushed as his eyes landed on her lips. She involuntarily ran her tongue over her lips making Gaara groan, she was irresistible he leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers in a Heated kiss. His arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to himself. Her arms laced around his neck deepening the kiss. After a few minutes they broke apart for some much needed air. Sakuras face was a light pink and she giggled.

"Gaara-kun...I-" She was cut off by his lips on hers once more.

"Shhh...please." he pleaded, " I just want to kiss you right now, I cant help what I feel Sakura." He kissed her once more.

Little did the couple know that Sasuke was hiding in the bushes his eyes flashing red, a low growl escaped threw his lips from somewhere deep in his throat. The couple looked at the bush Gaara pushing Sakura behind him getting into a fighting stance.

Sakura looked around Gaara to see Sasuke stalking towards them, His stance aggressive and edgy. She jumped around Gaara and stood between him and Sasuke. "What do you want Uchiha?" She hissed.

"You Sakura, I have always wanted you." Sasuke said glaring at the green eyed man behind the said girl.

"Well Sasuke, To little to late," She scoffed and pretty much spit in his face, "I love Gaara," She confessed, "Wait," There was a pause, "I am IN love with Gaara." She stated as Gaaras arms wound around her waist glaring back at the onyx eyed male.

The Uchiha growled knowing he could never win Sakuras heart, "Well Shabaku you have won this time."

"Just like your hair Uchiha, Your to much of a chicken to even think about fighting me over my girl." He chuckled as Sakura giggled and looked into her lovers pale green eyes.

Weeks later was the Final competition for the summer break, The one that mattered. Team Fang and team Mist had long broke apart due to members of one team falling for members of the other. The Gangs put there skateboards away to only be used in friendly matches and for recreational purposes. Sakura and Gaara were happily together and planned to stay that way as long as they could. Sasuke never invaded in their lives again, Gaara having been right about him being a chicken.

Sakura sat at a table across from Itachi a smile placed on her rose pedal colored lips her soft voice sounding like bells as she spoke, "Aniki, Do you think I made the right choice?" she asked him.

"Sakura, Hime, I can't tell you if your choice was right." He smiled at the young girl, "Only your heart can."

Sakura Smiled and stood, "Thank you Aniki I have to be going Gaara is waiting for me." She smiled and ran out the door.

Itachi watched her leave, "You chose well Joji," he whispered, "you chose well."(A/N: READ AUTHORS NOTE ON BOTTOM!!!!)
