The next day Sakura decided to talk to Sarada at dinner. They had their miso soup and cleaned the kitchen together. Sarada was about to go to her bedroom when Sakura called her to sit on the couch.

"I think we need to talk." She started. "I know about the talk you had with Ino."

"You do?" Sarada's eyes widened as she thought her mother would scold her for talking to Ino.

"Look, it is true that I am dating someone. I will understand if you don't like it right now, but I really hope you can get along with him and accept the circumstances."

"Mama… why did you hide it from me?"

"I'm so sorry, honey, but I thought you would reject the fact that I am in a relationship… I thought you would be mad at me or something…"

"I'm not mad at you, Mama… but what if he doesn't like me?"

"Sarada, you already know him…"

"I do?"

Sakura nodded positively.

"Then who is he?"

Sakura took a deep breath and answered, "His name is… Gaara."

Sarada frowned. "Isn't that the name of the Kaze-" Her jaw dropped open in surprise and her black orbs widened as realization struck her. "Mama… you mean Gaara as in Gaara the Kazekage? Shinki's father?"

"Yes."

"Oh my, Mama!" The girl raised a hand to her forehead in worry.

"What's the matter, baby?"

"It's just that he's not an ordinary shinobi… He's like the Nanadaime, he's very important… And you're dating him… This is huge!"

Sakura spent some time trying to calm down her daughter, telling her that everything would be alright and that she didn't need to worry about his Kage status.

"Tomorrow he's coming here with Shinki. We're having lunch together."

"Okay, Mama. I'll do my best. Shannaro!" Sarada eyed her mother and gingerly asked her next question.

"Mama? Why were you in the bedroom with him that day?"

Sakura took a deep breath. "Sarada… you know that when two people really care about each other they usually show that affection through… physical contact, right?"

"Yeah… oh you mean kissing? Like in that movie we watched the other day?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Oh, so you were kissing?"

"... Yeah." Sakura mumbled.

"Oh… okay then. But why in the bedroom? I've seen you kiss Papa before..."

"You know what? It's too soon to have this conversation with you sweetheart, you will understand in the right time."

Sarada couldn't sleep at night thinking about the news. She woke up in the morning determined to be a good host to her visitors, so she helped her mother with the cleaning and the cooking.

Sakura welcomed them in and guided them to the dining table. Sarada was being very pleasant and charming, although she was feeling a little intimidated by their guests. Sarada and Shinki were almost the same age but their personalities were nothing alike. While Sarada was talkative and explosive, Shinki was quiet and composed.

When lunch was over, Ino dropped by with Inojin and Shikadai to take Sarada and Shinki out. "I'll take these kiddos out to give some privacy, you lovebirds." She whispered to them.

"Ino!" Sakura blurted.

Gaara chuckled lightly and said, "Ino, could you please tell Shikadai to take Shinki to his house?"

"Indeed you need some privacy, am I right?!" She joked. Gaara blushed but said nothing. Sakura scowled at her, while she laughed out loud.

"Alright, kids, let's get out of here!" She said, winking at Sakura. "Let's have the most delicious treats in Konoha!"

"How did she take it?" Gaara asked.

"Pretty well, actually. She was a little scared when I told her who I was dating, but I think she went well today, don't you think?"

"Yes, she was fine."

"And how about Shinki?"

"He didn't say much. He just said he would do his best to be a good son to you."

Sakura frowned. "Son? That's a little bit… ahead of time, isn't it?!"

"I know, he's very fond of you but he doesn't show it much. In that first week you stayed with us he told me you were very pretty and that he would like to have a mother like you."

"Oh, really? He's so cute."

Sakura and Gaara agreed to visit each other regularly, although Sakura would have to visit him more often because of his responsibilities. Since their villages were far from each other, they couldn't lose precious time.

Sakura straddled him on the couch and removed her red top and bra. Gaara devoured her breasts while squeezing her thighs and her ass. She stood up to take her pants off with Gaara's help. He pulled her panties down and kissed her sides.

"You're so…" he began. Being shy, Gaara felt embarrassed to express his thoughts, even to his girlfriend.

"I'm what?" She asked him.

"Nevermind."

"Come on, tell me." She continued encouraging him, "You can tell me anything… I won't tell anyone." She sat on his lap while he caressed her breasts, with his head resting on her shoulder.

"I can't say it."

"Of course you can, and you should do it." She stood up with her clothes in her hands and took him to her bedroom. Once they were in it she undressed him with a malicious smile on her lips.

"Tell me what you're thinking," she purred.

"Don't you tease me, Ma'am."

"What are you gonna do about it, Kazekage-sama?"

Gaara wasn't holding back anymore. Her teasing was working. "What am I gonna do?"

"Uhum, are you gonna punish me?"

He abruptly pulled her by the arm and held her body close to him. He muttered in her ear, "You bet I am."

"Oh really?! Tell me, then, Sabaku no Gaara, how exactly are you going to do this?"

"I'm gonna slap that ass of yours while I fuck you from behind. How would you like that, Sakura-sensei?"

Sakura shivered and answered, "I would like that very much, Gaara-sama."

He threw her on the bed and put his head between legs, making her tremble and bite her lip as he sucked her clit. When Sakura had her high, he left her sensitive petals and demanded, "On fours, Doctor."

She obediently bent her knees and supported her elbows on the mattress, being completely at Gaara's mercy. He caressed her ass and slapped each cheek. She flinched and gasped at each blow. "This is your punishment, Doctor."

He grabbed her waist and slowly penetrated her. Once he was entirely inside her, he thrusted into her vigorously, causing her to moan loudly. He leaned over her back and reached for her short hair. He grabbed her hair by the roots and whispered in her ear, "Do you like your punishment?"

"Gaara..." she gasped, "yeah… argh… faster… please!"

He let go of her hair and held her waist even tighter than before. He took a deep breath and pounded hard into her until both reached their sweet release and collapsed on the bed.

Sakura's creamy buttocks were red from his spanking. Gaara turned his attention to her breasts later, which ended up full of lovebites later. Luckily she could heal herself, otherwise Sarada would be asking her questions.

After having some tea, Gaara went back to his sister's. Sakura was preparing to go to sleep when Sarada arrived home.

"Hey sweetie! How was your day with Ino and the boys?"

"It was alright. That Shinki is weird, though."

"Why do you think so?"

"He's just… way too quiet. I wonder if I'll ever get along with him."

"Of course you will. He may be quiet but he is a sweetheart. You just need to get to know him better."

"Guess so." Sarada kissed her mother and went to her bedroom.
