AN: Smut, and a teensy weensy bit of non-con. Just a teensy.
Sakura froze, her body trembled as she brought up her knife to her chest. Her turn was painfully slow, and as her eyes rested on her fiance she didn't know whether to feel relieved or afraid.
His dark smile made her feel the latter.
"You certainly are clever. I haven't had a chase like that in a long time, in fact I was beginning to think I lost you." Gaara slipped down off the rock he was perched on, and waded into the water. She instantly held the knife out to keep him at bay. "Oh ho? You decided to take me seriously this time. Your instincts are better than I initially thought."
Just then she heard something trot in from the mouth of the cave, and his eyes looked up to quickly acknowledge the source before staring back at her.
"Kankuro, I think we broke her." The redhead snickered as his brother jumped into the heated pool, the latter part causing her to give a short shriek of surprise.
"It's been a while since we've hunted a human together, it has me feeling nostalgic." The brunette cracked his neck, and then lowered down into the water. "You're going to share this time, right?"
The pinkette looked between the two frantically, and held the knife out in front of her switching from one brother to the other. Both of them had eyes that shined frighteningly in the dark.
"I'm feeling playful tonight, I suppose I could share just this once." Gaara nearly purred, and stood still as he watched his brother move in on her. "Don't mangle her too badly though, I want a piece too."
When Kankuro lunged with feral grin she swung the blade out in front of her with a sharp scream. His larger hand grabbed her wrist hard, and slammed it against the rock until she dropped the knife.
Sakura started swinging, her fist actually connected with the brunette's jaw causing him to take a step back. He paused, his shining eyes watching her as he spat out some blood.
"Gaara, she's kind of vicious. I might need you to hold her down for me." Kankuro called for his brother, and in an instant the redhead was on the move.
Sakura didn't like this game, and she made it known the second he closed in on her. She feinted with her left fist, and as he went to block she caught him in the cheekbone with her right. His face turned away from the impact, and he stayed painfully still.
The silence was beginning to make her think she had made a grave mistake.
"You have every right to be afraid." Gaara murmured gently, but when his head turned to lock eyes with her again his haunting orbs felt as if they were sucking the soul out of her. "... And you should be afraid of me."
Her fear broke into her mind, and she quickly dropped down under the surface of the heated water. Her hands searched blindly until she found the handle of the blade she had dropped. She grabbed it firmly, and attempted to swim away while they remained confused by her behavior. However, she was caught by her ankle in a vice grip.
The pinkette screamed in a flurry of bubbles until she was pulled up by her bicep. She swung the knife blindly, and when she felt another set of hands on her she started to kick, snarl, and bite at whoever touched her.
Slowly but surely she tired herself out, and eventually she felt the knife get taken from her hand. They said nothing as they pressed her against the cooler rock, but judging by their huffing breaths they were at least slightly irritated.
"Gaara, control your woman." Kankuro snickered.
Her soaked hair was brushed away from her dripping face, her eyes opened to find two sets of feral gazes with frightening eyeshine staring back at her.
"Sakura, we're only playing with you." The redhead spoke breathily, his eyes seeming to glow like she had never seen before. "It's just a game, my love. Play with us."
The longer she stared the more she felt swept away by his haunting eyes, and in an attempt to gain back her sanity she quickly clamped her eyelids shut. She was shaking, afraid of the unknown from two frightening predators.
"Gaara... I'm really scared... please..." Sakura whimpered out.
There was a long silence, but she could still hear their steady breaths. She felt a hand touch her cheek, and she flinched with a small yelp.
"Kankuro," Gaara murmured gently, and her eyes peeked open to see him staring back into her eyes. "Leave us."
Her sight darted to the brunette who simply raised a brow at the two of them, and with a shrug he backed up.
"Guess the fun is over..." Kankuro huffed as he retreated from the water, and shifted into his wolf form. The canid shook off the water in a violent spray before trotting off.
It was strange watching him change like that, in fact she had never just outright watched them do it. It were as if all the shadows and highlights morphed into an entirely different being; so surreal.
"You know we won't actually harm you, right?" The redhead murmured softly, brushing a few more pink locks from her face as their eyes met. "It was only a game. A thrill, nothing more."
The pinkette turned her face away, and stared at the water that came up to her waist.
"Your brother... he has no qualms about taking things too far--"
"And you think I would allow him to hurt you?" Gaara huffed, looking slightly offended.
Her body swayed, her upper half growing cold from being outside of the warm waters.
"I think... under the right conditions... he could convince you to do things to me that you would regret later." Sakura blushed at the thought, and also shivered.
Kankuro was more wild, and thoughtless when it came to others. The only person he listened to was Gaara; the redhead was pack leader. Other than that she had every reason to fear the strange wolf, although he could have his peaceful moments. She felt like he was a gun cocked, and ready to fire at any moment; at any moving thing. No reservations, no limits, just living for the sake of entertaining himself.
She had also met people like this, and she had to say that she did not keep such people as her company. Now she would have to since she was marrying into their family. She was nervous about everything, wary of what her life was to be after the fact. Yet she never had a goal in mind for herself to begin with. Her fear did not make sense to her.
"Sakura." The redhead's tone demanded her eyes, so she gave them to him.
The cyan orbs held the swirling light of the moon, they reflected the rays from the far back giving them a haunting glow. Humans did not have this trait, and to see the glow in a person's eyes was as unsettling as it was beautiful.
"Do you know the origin story of my people?" Gaara asked just above a whisper.
She shook her head, unable to blink or speak as she was captured in the lights of his eyes.
"We... we were human once." The redhead brought his hands up to trace the features of her face; touching along her lips, cheeks, and chin tenderly. "We were human, but my ancestor was determined to find the best way to brave the wilderness. He and a collection of others found a great tree that bore many strange fruit."
His hand traced her jaw delicately, and he leaned in for her to stare even deeper into his haunting orbs.
"When eaten, the fruit bestowed the powers of different animals... but it came with a price." Gaara purred, his fingers beginning to curl around her throat. "Any offspring they had would be cursed with these gifts. Cursed to live in the in-between of animal and man."
His grip tightened, but she stayed perfectly relaxed in his clutches. She had turned into a malleable piece, allowing his strong hand to move her neck and jaw however he liked. Prey yielding to the sharp bite of their predator, knowing that resistance was futile, and that the death on the horizon was far sweeter than the pointless fight to survive.
"My ancestor had a human wife who bore a vast amount of wolf children. She was fated to have many, and died when her body could no longer take the strain. Those children then had children of their own, and those mothers also succumbed to the same fate. My mother as well... although she did not have as many as the ones previous." Gaara's voice sounded lulling, and her eyes started to close to the sound of his story. "We have not truly mated with humans since that time so very long ago. It was unheard of; unthought of. Humans are prey meant to be eaten. We play with them, toy with their hearts, then rip the organ from their chest while they watch us feast..."
Sakura felt claws digging into her neck, piercing the skin as her eyes opened weakly to see his shining eyes staring through her.
"But, we were one once. The great mother was a human female that the father of wolves did not eat. He loved her, as you say, enough to sacrifice his humanity for her. I believe that desire has been reincarnated in me, and I do not wish for your death. Quite the opposite... I wish to claim your life as my own."
His hand loosened, and pulled away to view the blood on his nails favorably.
"You belong to me, flesh and soul. Trust me when I say my brother's influence does not outshine your own. I am not so easily swayed by his gluttonous opinions." The redhead licked his fingertips as he said this, seeming like he was contradicting the statement. "If I was so inclined by his decisions we would have devoured you by now, but I prefer just to taste. It would be such a waste to destroy you."
The pinkette had to turn her face away from him then, but it seemed to be a mistake as he immediately brushed his mouth against the shell of her ear.
"Just as you belong to me... I also belong to you..." Gaara whispered heatedly, sending shivers down her spine.
He took her hand, and placed it over his heart. She heard him lick his lips, and the light liquid sound of his mouth left her breathless.
"Use me however you desire. Bleed me dry..." The wolf purred before placing his hands on her hips. "I know you want to use me. I can smell it on you..."
Sakura tried turning away from him, but upon doing it he simply pulled her backside to meet his front while his hands dragged along her wet skin, and clothes.
"All of that pride, tsk tsk. Such a waste, you'd be far more beautiful begging for me to be inside you." His nimble fingers worked at the ties to her dress, taking it apart to the point where the front revealed her breasts.
She gave a light struggle, but stopped when her chin was forced to look back while he hovered over her shoulder. His eyes were glowing in a strange swirling way.
"You will not fight me this time." Gaara ordered in a tone that she felt she couldn't ignore. "You will submit to me. You will abandon your insecurity, and execute your deepest desires. I demand no less than this."
The pinkette blinked slowly as the world seemed to become hazy around her. All she could see was him, and his hypnotic eyes.
"Now, my love, show me your darkest truth." The redhead let her go, but smirked devilishly as she turned back around to face him.
In a daze, Sakura stripped herself of her clothing, and wrung out the dress before laying it out on the dry rocks. She wandered slowly towards the mouth of the cave, letting the moonlight wash over her naked frame. Her eyes focused on the moon, seeing a glowing halo around it.
She was lost in the sight of it, the full moon filled her eyes completely, and held her captive. She felt warm hands on her chilled skin, and when she went to look down at them one hand cupped her chin; forcing her to look back at the moon.
"You cannot lie under the light of a full moon." He said, his front pressing flush with her back. She could feel his bare skin brushing against hers, and knew that he had stripped down for the occasion. "So I shall ask you some questions... and you cannot lie..."
She nodded dumbly, and felt his touch trace over her breasts.
"Do you fear me?"
The thought rattled around in her brain, and although she didn't want to do it, she unfortunately nodded.
"That's fine. It's better if you do." Gaara nuzzled his face against the crook of her neck, planting kisses up to her ear. "Do you love me?"
"Yes." The word was instantaneous, and left her mouth confidently. She felt him smile against her skin, and even give a soft chuckle.
"Very good... do you trust me?"
It took a moment, but eventually she gave a small nod. His touch became more adventurous, and eager.
"Do you want me inside of you?" He panted, and when she nodded he almost groaned. "Right now?"
With her last nod she felt him priming himself between her legs, and then entered slowly while her breath hitched.
"Do you want to know what I am going to do to you?" He didn't wait for her to answer, and instead went to kiss along her jaw. "I'm going to spend the entire evening filling you, surrounding you, and dominating you."
With a firm arm just under her breasts, and another holding her hip he thrusted into her. When her head tilted back on his shoulder to cry out he quickly corrected her to stare back at the moon.
"Watch the glow... bathe in it..." Gaara murmured as he created a steady pace, leaving her panting for more.
The halo around the moon seemed to pulse, and the rainbow color morphed as he continuously entered her. It was like a strange dream, and yet it felt too good to be just her imagination. Time no longer existed between them, and the moon.
She could hear her own voice crying out into the night, and looked down right as he groaned to see opaque viscous liquid dripping down into the water. It looked somewhat foggy in the shining pool, but eventually it faded away.
Sakura's world was turning, and in a daze she was stretched out on a heated rock. The red wolf hovered over her in the form of a man, wearing the full moon as his halo while his eyes were encased in shadows, and yet a light still shone in the back of his pupils to mirror the world around him.
With a feral look he entered her again, hoisting up her hips so he could kneel while he worked. With only her head and shoulders touching the smooth rock, Gaara started up a devilish pace.
"You'll break for me this time... I know it." The redhead huffed as he repeatedly thrusted into her.
Her body began to writhe under the attention, and eventually he would pause just to grind and roll his hips to churn her from the inside. When she was thoroughly hypnotized by the action he picked up his speed once more, allowing himself to slam into her soaked folds.
Sakura cried out desperately, clawing against his strong arms that held her. Her body wouldn't stop moving, and she couldn't stop calling out his name. The stars in the sky started to turn into black holes, and her vision began to fade away as she screamed.
The sound of slapping flesh and groans filled her ears, and as she took a chilled breath of air she looked forward to see where they matched up. He was slowing his pace again, groaning and shivering as he pulsed inside her. With a few last thrusts she could see the product of his efforts pouring out.
The sight was enough to drive her wild despite her fatigue. She pulled herself up just so she could kiss and bite his lip. However, she couldn't deny that the air was frightfully chilled, and her body started to shiver from it.
"Cold?" The redhead purred, and she nodded in answer.
Using his strength again he pulled her back into the water. He found a good place to sit, and pulled her onto his lap. She straddled him without issue, and nuzzled her cheek against his own.
"You're so affectionate tonight." Gaara murmured with a smile, and she couldn't help but find it infectious.
His porcelain hands brushed away damp pink locks from her eyes, thumbing away droplets of water that clung to her cheeks. He would smile at her, and she would blush while returning the expression.
"You have a beautiful smile, my love." As he tilted her chin upwards to admire her she couldn't hold back a small breathless laugh. "I wish for you to smile like this every day. You shine brighter than the moon--"
Just then the moonlit sky began to turn dark as shadowy clouds loomed. His canines glistened with a hearty laugh before the darkness overcame them.
"You see?! The moon, she is envious!" The redhead laughed further, but stopped when she lowered her head to the crook of his neck.
No longer being able to see anything frightened her more than she would like. For some reason she felt as if the darkness now held a mountain worth of terrors lurking in it's depths. She surmised that it was because of the discovery of his people.
If creatures like Gaara existed... then certainly the things of her nightmares could also exist.
"Why are you frightened, my dearest?" The wolf held her more securely, and she nearly whimpered in relief.
"It's too dark." Sakura answered with a small voice, but felt soothed as his claws dragged along her scalp.
"You think I would let anything hurt you?" Gaara murmured softly, nuzzling his face into her wet hair. "My sweet girl, I am far stronger than you think. You have only witnessed glimpses of my power, there is a great deal more that I have not shown you."
'He's more formidable than what he's shown me?' At that she straightened, and attempted to see his face in the dark, but failed miserably.
"You haven't been present for the red moon. Although, I will probably leave when that day comes. Some things you are better kept away from, I wouldn't want to accidentally harm you." The redhead traced her lips with his thumb, then traced delicately along her brow and cheek bones. "It's fascinating watching you look around when you are blind. Your eyes look so frightened--"
"Gaara." Another male voice resounded next to her, causing her to shriek and hide against her fiancé. She could hear an irritated sigh push through him, but when he pet her gently she knew it wasn't her causing him grief.
"You need to call from a distance when she is with us, Kankuro. She can't hear, see, or smell you when you come close." The redhead scolded his brother, and despite her trying to see him she couldn't. "Not to mention she barely has the strength of a pup. You should take care to remember that."
"Heh, sorry. I figured that since I've been here the whole time she already knew you guys weren't alone. Guess I masked myself a little too well." Kankuro snickered.
Sakura felt her entire face start to pulse with heat. She started to wriggle out of Gaara's arms only for him to roughly pull her back to him.
"Stop getting embarassed, it's fine." The wolf snipped at her, but it didn't calm her in the least.
'Kankuro was just there... watching us... and Gaara knew?!' She started to shake both from fear, and anger. She felt his hand rub gently on her shoulder, and when she went to shrug it off he roughly adjusted her.
"I know you're upset, but if you are going to be living with me you'll have to get used to having someone watching you. We are a pack, there is no privacy." The redhead now scolded her instead of his brother, and it almost made her want to throw a fist his way, but she decided against it for now.
The pinkette was in a precarious position, and in the presence of not just one, but two wolves. She would have to wait until she had a better hand before making any calls.
"It's going to storm, I saw lightening in the distance." Kankuro spoke calmly, but the sound of his voice right now was grating. "Temari still hasn't returned back to the den. Should we look for her?"
Gaara sighed with exasperation, and she felt his hands rub gently on her shoulders.
"No. She was furious when she left this afternoon. Clearly she didn't appreciate me bringing a human girl home, but I'm already engaged to Sakura so I don't see the problem with it." Just then he started to move, and when he slipped away from her she ended up holding onto the rock behind them due to her blindness. "At any rate, her clothing is not fit for travel. Take her dress back with you, and then return with a fur--"
"Is she my bride?" Kankuro huffed, cutting off the redhead bitterly. "No. Go get her things yourself, I don't get a piece of her so I'm not providing anything."
Just then she heard snarls, and realized they had changed into their wolf forms. She sank down into the water, listening to the snapping, whimpering, barks, fierce growls, and finally a sharp yelp. When something was thrown into the water next to her she gave a shrill scream, and the sounds went deathly silent.
"I will gather her things this time, but next time I will make sure it is more than just your paw that gets ripped open!" Gaara snarled viciously while his brother in the water next to her gave a huff. "Never challenge my authority again, omega."
There was another bout of silence, and the wind whisked through the large pines around them as footsteps trailed away. She shivered from the cold air, sinking lower into the water before letting out a shaking breath.
"You alright?" Kankuro's voice was clear next to her, making her nearly jump out of her skin. "Sorry about the fight. Sometimes I like to try to test Gaara, and it just goes too far--"
"What does 'omega' mean?" Sakura murmured, still shivering from the cold.
She felt arms around her, and a warm chest protecting her upper back. She squirmed in his grasp, but he held her tightly to him without issue.
"It means I'm the lowest rank. I'm the scapegoat, and the fool. When Gaara or Temari are in a bad mood they'll usually fight me, or I'll be there to lighten the mood because I'm always up to play." The brunette rested his chin on top of her head, and sighed. "Omegas aren't really allowed to mate either."
The pinkette stayed perfectly still, too anxious to actually respond to his comment.
"However... it's going to take some time for Gaara to get to the den and back--"
"If you touch me you know he'll kill you." Sakura shook the wolf off, then took steps away from him despite it being so cold.
She was honestly done with both of these wolves again. They were absolutely shameless, and manipulative. The pinkette couldn't believe the gall they had to treat her like a chew toy, but Gaara also made it clear that she meant a great deal more than that. She just hoped he was telling the truth.
"Maybe that's a risk I'm willing to take..." Warm arms wrapped around her once more forcing her to jump and yelp.
"Let go--!"
"Why? Is playing with both of us such a big deal?" The brunette chuckled before nuzzling up to her ear. "We could have a little competition... who can make you scream the loudest."
Sakura ignored him, and instead sunk down further into the water to try to stay warm as well as put space between them. Unfortunately he followed, holding her flush to him as she kept her mouth under the water, but her nose stayed above.
"Don't be like that, I was only kidding." Kankuro purred gently, moving his mouth up to her cheek to lick the droplets of water off her skin. "You smiled for Gaara... I want to see you smile too..."
The pinkette froze then as he brought up a conversation that had clearly been private, reminding her once again that he had actually been present for the entire thing.
"You make some cute noises, too. Not to mention you're so soft..." She felt a hand smoothing along her shoulder, and down her upper arms.
"Stop." Sakura snapped at him, and thankfully his hands instantly retreated.
"One of these days you'll see it from my point of view. Maybe sooner than you think." He left a light peck to her cheek, and right as she was about to turn and hit him he moved away from her, leaving Sakura by her lonesome in the dark.
All that was left was to wait for Gaara to return, and she prayed he'd return soon.
AN: I know it's been a while, I've been mostly uploading content to Archive Of Our Own. I have a few fics on there that are rated explicit are the Gaara/Sakura pairing. (I also have one Hiei/Botan one as well.) If you are interested in reading those I implore you to look up MindTrash on AO3.
Current GaaSaku fics are:
The Widow
Shinobi and the Sheriff
She Lives in the Attic
Instant Messages
and a one-shot called Love Thy Enemy
All different flavors, one is even a horror-smut story. Feel free to check them out. I will still try to upload on here, but primarily I've been uploading on there due to the fact that there is less content restrictions, as it is I am pretty sure this current fic is walking a tightrope over a flaming pool of death. I remember the smut purge they had on here a long time ago, and that is a legitimate fear for me so any new stories will be going on there simply because I can't just not write a sex scene. It's my calling card.
Anywho, feel free to comment on the current chapter as well. Comments help me write :)
