Chapter 25: Naruto comes along

Recap:--

"Look Gaara about last night, I hope you didn't mind it and I hope you can forget it I was tired and I didn't realize what I had…"

She was stopped by a kiss on her cheek.

"We're even now" Gaara said, leaving.

"Night" he said as he left the area.

"Night" she responded.

'Did he just kiss me on the cheek'

'Yeah see I told you he liked you'

end of recap--

Sakura ignored her thoughts and headed for bed.

The next morning Sakura had the tests placed on the student's desks and waited for them to come to class.

After the class began and after 3 hours of walking up and down the isles making sure no one cheated she was free.

"Freedom" she cheered, then she looked at the pile of test's on her desk.

"Shit, I better get started she thought"

The clock ticked by it was now 12:00, she was marking the tenth exam, Sakura was a surprised to find that out of the ten 4 student's seemed to know everything she taught.

'Knock knock'

She looked up to see Gaara at the door.

"Hey Gaara," Sakura said.

He walked over to her,

"Here," he said

"Arigato, did you eat lunch yet"

He shook his head.

"okay then you're eating with me"

He said nothing, Sakura took that as a yes.

"I'll go get some chopsticks from the lounge, be back soon" she said walking to the door.

Once she left her face was flushed remembering last night, 'well we are even' she thought, 'I kissed him then he kissed me without explanation, I see' she then figured that it was nothing. Her face resumed back to normal,

'So aren't you supposed to get the chopsticks?'

'Yes why'

'You just passed the lounge'

'Damn' she said and walked back to the lounge.

'See I was right'

'Will you just go away'

She entered the lounge to find Natsumi in.

"Natsumi what are you doing here I thought you had to be at the hospital"

"Oh hello Sakura, I am here for the test results remember I need to see who succeeds then take them further in training at the hospital."

'Right'

"Well those exams won't be completely marked for another two hours"

"So how are the marks so far"

"Four have passed already and six have failed so far"

"So are you going to have lunch?"

"Hai"

"Yes Gaara brought my lunch for me"

"Oh, may I join you"

'persistent lady aren't you' inner Sakura claimed

'We can't say no, she'll think something's up,'

'You know you want Gaara for yourself'

'Can it'

"Sure if you have nothing planned" Sakura said taking some chopsticks.

They entered the class to find Gaara sitting at Sakura's desk and staring at them when they came in.

"Gaara, Natsumi is going to have lunch with us if that's okay"

He nodded, but you could tell in his mind that he wanted to eat it only with Sakura.

"So how is your training going Lord Kazekage"

"Good"

"He's excellent" Sakura stated

Gaara looked at her,

"He's been the best student I've ever had" she said hiding her incoming blush and her eyes shown her serious attitude.

"That's great, Kazekage would you help at the hospital"

He shook his head.

Sakura looked at him,

"I just wanted to learn incase someone close to me got hurt." He stated.

Sakura was surprised by his words; she gave Gaara a pair of chopsticks and sat down and ate with Gaara the meal while Natsumi in shock ate her food and got out quietly as she finished her own meal.

"Gaara thank you" Sakura said, "the food was delicious" she smiled,

"Sakura what did you mean that I was your best student"

"I meant what I said Gaara," she said then he smiled.

"You smiled again its beautiful"

'Did I just say that out loud?'

'Yup' inner Sakura claimed.

"Arigato, Sakura your smile is beautiful too"

Un-expecting the response she her face turned red,

"Sakura are you okay your face is red"

'Not helping' she thought

Gaara placed his hand on her forehead.

"Gaara I'm fine seriously" she said trying not to stutter, 'why the hell am I blushing so much'. Cyan met emerald and opposite. It was very awkward their faces were getting closer and one last blink and just only inches from there lips meeting, someone opened the door.

"Sakura" Temari shouted then she saw what was in front of her and wished she never opened the door, Sakura and Gaara moved away from each other.

"Is this a bad time"

'No duh' inner Sakura shouted.

'Damn Temari I was so close' Gaara claimed in his thoughts.

"No it's alright" Sakura replied for both of them.

"So what do you want" Sakura asked.

"I wanted to tell you that Naruto is coming today and will be here soon"

"Naruto is coming," her face lit up,

"Tsunade is sending him here cause it seems he's been fusing a lot since you've been gone something about being bored and that he has been bothering Tsunade so much that its giving her a head ache"

"I need to finish marking before he comes or else I'll never finish" she stated slapping her forehead, "out of all days he has to come now" she stated.

"See you guys later"

"Would you like some help" Gaara asked pointing to large stack of papers.

"Are you sure, it's a lot to do"

He nodded,

"Kay" she handed him the answer sheet.

In less than 20 minutes they finished.

Mean while Temari was at the gates and saw Naruto coming,

"Naruto"

"Hey Temari so tell me how is Gaara and Sakura"

"Fine, did everyone get the plan"

He nodded, "Hinata-chan was so happy it actually scared me"

10 minutes later

Gaara and Sakura were waiting at the Kazekage building for Naruto

"SSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-CHHHHHANNNNNN!" she could hear in the distance.

"Naruto your so loud," she stated with Gaara at her side. Naruto gave her a hug,

"Guess what?"

"What"

"I have a girl friend"

"Really, who is the person who could tolerate your hyper ness I can't wait to meet her" she said sarcastically.

Gaara stared at Naruto when he gave Sakura a hug,

"Gaara sorry" he then let go of Sakura and shook Gaara's hand.

"Now let's get some Ramen" he said taking both of there hands and dragged them around Suna.
