Sorry life has been crazy. New job, personal stuff I want to keep quiet for now but hope to type up the next chapter soon. I am trying to not just focus on serious stuff because the story will be really short if I did but some time skips will be coming up.

I could barely keep my eyes open. Ever since I left the hospital I have been doing nothing but reading the files. They were very in depth about his life but that meant everything. What he did on this one day at this one time no matter how trivial it seemed it was documented. What he ate every day of his life, whom he interacted with, hell they even had when he went to the bathroom. I wish they had at least been better at organizing the files. Everything was thrown in a chronological pile so date wise it was fine but important wise it was not.

I had my head resting on my hand trying to focus but it got the point that the words just started to blur together and not much longer I was asleep.

Everything was loud. People talking, music, walking, EVERYTHING. My head was pounding and all I wanted was some peace and quiet. "Freaking Naruto." I tried to form any amount of chakra to help me get rid of the headache but the alcohol wasn't helping my control. Outside. I needed to get outside. Away from everything. I looked for the nearest exit and found one that lead to what appeared to be a balcony. My vision was slightly blurry but I somehow managed to find the doorknob and walk outside into the chilly night air. When I closed the door I realized I wasn't alone. "Oh sorry um is this spot taken?" The person turned to look at me and it took me a minute to realize it was Gaara.

"No."

I stared at his face and realized he also appeared to be drunk. "Naruto got to you as well didn't he?" Gaara did not look amused by the comment. "Let me try to help." My chakra didn't cooperate with me before but hopefully this time it would. "I'll just need to touch your head okay?" He didn't make any movement that suggested he was against the idea so I moved closer. At that moment my feet decided to trip over nothing and I fell.

At that moment my head slipped off my hand and smacked against the desk. I groaned and rubbed my forehead. "What time is it?" Looking over at the clock on the wall only an hourish had passed since I last looked at the clock. These dreams are starting to get frustrating. Either they are completely truthful and my dreams are trying to tell me that or my drunken mind is trying to piece anything together and making up the rest? Nothing was making this situation better.

I decided it was time to stop for the night and wake up early to start the research again.

A few hours later I was woken up by a knock on the door. "Sakura." I recognized that voice.

"Hello Temari." I said as I opened the door.

"How are you doing?" The look on her face told me I looked like crap.

"I haven't found anything yet. The file is annoyingly detailed about his life. How is Gaara?"

"He woke up a few hours ago. He didn't say anything to us before he left for his office." Nothing with Gaara could be good or bad. You never knew. "Let's go get some food. You look like you need it."

"But I need to get back to my research." I had barely touched the files and I had to start my plan for classes soon.

"It can wait." Temari refused to take no for an answer and dragged me out of my room. She dragged me to a small stall and ordered something for me. "You need to take care of yourself as well. It wouldn't do well for us to have to tell the Hokage we let her star pupil work herself until she was sick."

"These dreams aren't helping anything." I rubbed my eyes trying to get me to wake up more.

"Dreams?" Temari looked confused.

Crap I forgot I hadn't told anyone about them. "Um yeah uh since that night I…" I started to blush remembering the first dream I had. I coughed trying to compose myself before I continued. "I just keep having dreams that revolve around that night. I'm not even sure they are true."

Temari gave me a weird look. "I won't push for details but you know dreams can tell the truth."

Thankfully the rest of the meal went by quietly. Nothing was said about Gaara nor the dreams but that didn't mean it wasn't on my mind. I only had a few more days to do as much research as possible which meant I knew how the rest of my day was going to be.
