I'm so glad that people like my story! I will try my hardest to keep everyone in character, it's hard for me when you have Gaara and hot, passionate love, don't you agree?

Sakura looked around the streets of Suna. She was following Gaara to his home, her new home. Oh Tsunade was going to get an angry letter from her. She really couldn't believe what was happening to her.
'I' going to marry Gaara? Sabaku no Gaara? The Kazekage of Suna?'
Oh, why did everything bad have to happen to her? She wanted to be back in Konoha. She wanted to sit with Naruto at Ichiraku. She wanted to be with the girls, having fun. Hell, she wanted to sit there and watch Kakashi read his perverted books! She just didn't want to be here. In Suna.
Sakura's mind was wondering, and she never saw Gaara stop. She bumped right into him and fell to the ground. Gaara turned around and glared at her. Hard.
"Sorry, I didn't know you stopped."
"Well, if you would keep your wandering mind focused you would have noticed that I stopped." He said harshly. Sakura glared up at him. She picked herself up and dusted off her clothes.
Sakura looked forward and saw where he had stopped. They were in front of a large sandy house.
"This is my home. Temari and Kankuro live with me. Just so you know." He said and walked in. Sakura grabbed her bag that had fallen to the ground and walked in behind him.
She felt the cool air of the air conditioning flow around her. She sighed, happy to escape the heat outside.
Sakura took in her surroundings. She could see that this was the living room. Nothing to fancy. Couch TV, chair, coffee table, bookcase. All of the normal things.
"I'll take you to your room." Gaara said. She nodded. He made his way through a hallway and up a staircase. Once on the second floor, Sakura took notice to how many doors down she was. They passed one door, and stopped at the next one.
"This is your room." he said and opened the door. She walked into a large room. It was a light blue. There was a large bed in the center of the room, a white dresser, a desk, and a door, which she assumed was to the closet.
"Temari's room is the door across from yours; ask her for help with anything. She's usually home. Kankuro's room is the door all the way down the hall, and my room is next to here. Feel free to wander." He said, his tone held boredom. She nodded thanks, and watched as sand covered his body and transported him elsewhere.
Sakura walked over to the bed. She was so tired. All she wanted to do was sleep. She climbed on. It was so comfy and it formed into her frame. She smiled and curled up into a little ball and closed her eyes, letting sleep overcome her.

Sakura woke up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She glanced around, and looked at the clock on the bedside table. 3:24. it was still early. She needed a shower to wake herself up.
She grabbed some clothes and a towel, and left her room, in search for the bathroom. She noticed a door next to Temari's. She knocked on the door and received no response. Sakura opened the door, to discover an empty bathroom.
She walked in and set her clothes down by the sink and her towels next to the shower.
She turned the knobs and balanced out the temperature until it was perfect. She stepped in and smiled as the warm water hit her skin. She washed her hair and body, taking in the fruity aroma.
She stood there for a bit, relaxing. When she was content, she shut off the water and stepped out of the shower, and wrapped her towel around her frame.
She dried off quickly and slipped into her black sweatpants and pink tank top. She dried her hair a bit with her towel and set it on the towel rack. She whipped off the foggy mirror. She grabbed her bottle of leave-in conditioner, and put some through her hair. She flipped it back, and brushed it out, leaving it up in a messy bun.
Sakura opened the door and looked around. It was so quiet. Until her stomach growled.
'Man I'm hungry.' She thought. Sakura walked down the stairs and looked around. She could smell a mouth watering aroma. She followed it into the kitchen. There stood a blonde cooking.
"Hey Temari." Sakura said casually and sat down at the table.
Temari jumped and turned around quickly.
"S-Sakura?" she questioned. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well, I'm going to be here for a while I guess." Sakura said.
"But why?" Temari asked again.
"Because." A voice came from the door way. Gaara was leaning up against the door frame, his arms crossed.
'Wow he looks good.' Sakura thought. He looked so casual in his bad boy appearance. 'Don't think that!' she told herself frantically.
"Oh, hey Gaara." Temari said.
"Hi." Sakura quietly said.
He didn't say anything and looked back up to Temari.
"She is here because she is my fiancé." He said. He finally moved and sat in the chair next to Sakura.
Temari froze and drooped the spoon she was using for her cooking.
"W-what?" she stuttered out. She looked at Sakura who nodded. She didn't smile, but only nodded.
"Ok. Someone please explain this!" Temari demanded.
Sakura talked. "The elders informed us that any kage under the age of twenty-one must be married. So to strengthen the bond between this village and mine, I was sent to marry him. So I am his fiancé." Sakura explained.
"Oh. Well, this is weird. Just don't kill each other. And I'm saying that more to Gaara." She said and looked at him sternly. He smirked back at her.
"So Sakura, you want something to eat??" Temari asked. Sakura nodded eagerly.
After she had her plate, she and Temari went right on talking.
"I can't believe your going to be my sister." Temari said happily.
"That's the only plus." Sakura said glumly.
"What do you mean?" Temari asked. She slurped some of her noodles and looked up at her friend.
"Well, I never thought of having to have an arranged marriage. It's not like I was with someone. I was single before I came here. But, now I have to get married to someone who doesn't even like me." She explained.
Temari nodded her head to show that she understood. She would hate to have an arranged marriage. "Well, Gaara had lightened up a bit. He can almost be friendly sometimes. If you get on his good side, he can be a pretty ok guy. I'm sure he'll like you. Trust me."
Sakura smiled. "Thanks. If I have to marry him, we could at least get along with each other. Who knows, maybe I'll grow too actually like him." Sakura said and finished off her meal.
"Who knows?" Temari said.
"Hey, since I'm going to be here a while, I may need some things. You want to show me around, I don't want to get lost." Sakura said.
"Sure, I don't have anything to do today."
"Ok, I just have to write a letter, than we need to go to the mail tower, I have to send a message to someone."
"Alright, I'll wait in the living room."
Sakura ran upstairs and retrieved the scroll she packed. She was going to use it to send word out to Tsunade, but now the Hokage was going to receive an angry letter.
Tsunade-sama,
I can't believe this. What did I do to deserve this? I come here, not knowing what to expect, and then BAM! I'm hit with the information that I am going to marry the Kazekage? Well, I want to come back to Konoha now! And I will have my friends at the wedding. I don't give a damn if they disapprove. I just want to go back home. But...I know I have to be strong. This is for the good of Konoha. Ugh! I blame you!
A very pissed off Sakura
Sakura grabbed some money and ran downstairs. She found Temari and Gaara waiting for her by the door.
"Gaara?" she asked. "You're coming too?"
"I don't have anything else to do. I usually walk around the village sometimes to see what's happening." He said.
"Oh. Alright." She said quietly.
"Come on, let's go!" Temari said impatiently, while ignoring the glares she knew she was receiving.

After Sakura brought the scroll to the mail tower, the trio set out to random shops. Sakura got new clothes that would be more fitting to this climate. She starred in awe at the cute nick-knacks.
She and Temari were looking at the rows of little sculptures. Gaara watched them, scowling. He grew tired of hearing 'how cute!' and 'Aww!' he couldn't take it. He never knew why girls were attracted to these things.
After living with Temari all of his life, he has learned that girls are attracted to Cute little objects, and shiny things.
Sakura looked over and found cute little stuffed animals. She ran over to them, without Temari or Gaara noticing.
She looked through the assortment of animals. Tigers, bears, etc… Then she saw one. A cute little Panda bear.
"It's so cute!" she squealed loudly and picked it up.
"Not as cute as you." She heard from behind her. She gasped and turned around to find a guy with dark hair standing behind her. He had piercing brown eyes that searched over her body.
"Now, what's a little girl doing wandering around by herself?" he asked her. He leant in close to her.
"I'm not a little girl and I'm not alone!" she yelled at him. He laughed and smirked down at her. She glared up at him.
"Then who are you here with?" he asked mockingly.
"My friend and uh…fiancé." She said, hoping that he would leave her alone.
"Oh yea, then where's your ring Sweetie?" he asked.
Great. Now at the mention, she wanted one all of a sudden. Damn her girly side!
"I haven't gotten one yet…but he's here." She said looking around for Gaara.
"Really?" the man said. "Then where is he?"
"He's right here." Gaara's voice rang out. Sakura gasped. She felt an arm loosely gripping her waist.
"I'm her fiancé." He said warningly.
"K-k-Kazekage. I-I'm sorry. I d-didn't know!" the man stuttered.
"Whatever. Now you know she is mine, so tell all of your little buddies, never come near her!" Gaara said menacingly.
The guy stumbled away and ran off. Sakura looked over to Gaara. He looked back at her. They stayed there blankly looking at each other. She noticed his arm hadn't moved. It felt slightly comforting. She almost liked it. Maybe he would keep it there a moment longer?
Gaara moved his arm.
'Damnit! I shouldn't have thought that I didn't want him to move it!' Sakura mentally kicked herself.
"I want to get this panda. It's so cute!" she looked up at him. He really didn't seem to care. "It kinda looks like you." She said. He glared at her. Sakura giggled.
"You can be my panda-chan Gaara." She said. She knew she should stop before he ripped her head off. She cuddled to her panda and ran off to pay for it.
"I'm no one's panda-chan." Gaara muttered coldly.
So? Did you like it? I just re-read it, and I didn't like it. But it seems that you usually don't like your writing. And I hope I kept Gaara in character.
