Here is another chapter. I typed most of it at work lol.

Sakura had been missing for a little more than 2 weeks now. How could I have let him take her? It was all my fault. I haven't slept since she disappeared. Every moment was important to possibly bring her back.

The leak still hadn't been found. Temari and Kankuro were working every possible minute to find out who let Akio in the village.

My fingers drummed on the table as I looked over a map of the surrounding area. Their hiding place couldn't be too far away since Sakura's chakra signature had disappeared quickly. Tracks were nearly impossible to follow because of the shifting sands and we had no lead. My fist met the table in frustration. They took her, our child, and I couldn't do anything about it. Kage duties were becoming harder to complete because of my worry. I would never forgive myself if something happened to them.

Akio. Who was his leader? He was too forward to be the one in control of such a secretive organization. What could they want with Sakura? Nothing made sense. My hands cradles my head and I could feel my worry building. Ever since they took Sakura it became harder to keep myself in check. I could feel something building in me and it felt like it would soon explode.

A knock was heard at the door breaking me from my thoughts. "Enter."

As the door opened I could see the blonde of Temari's hair. "Gaara the counsel wishes to speak to you."

I sighed. What could the counsel possibly want? I stood and followed Temari out the door. This really wasn't the time but I knew if I didn't go their pestering wouldn't stop.

"Ah Gaara thank you for joining us." Kimiko said as I entered the room.

" You know that failing to protect the leaf-nin can cause a strain with Konoha. She is the student of the Hokage after all." Shin has his hands crossed as he said this.

I felt my fist tighten. I already felt so much guilt for failing Sakura that hearing someone say it made it unbearable.

"Tsunade has dispatched a team to help locate the missing leaf-nin." Tadashi seemed almost annoyed about it.

I had no idea why it hurt that they refused to use her name. All these feelings were new to me and I had no idea what to do about them.

"Do you have any leads on this supposive leak?" Kimiko was staring at me refusing to blink.

"We have no leads at this moment but Kankuro and Temari are still looking into it."

"Then you are dismissed." Shin waved me out the door but when I turned to leave I was stopped.

"One last thing Gaara. When were you going to tell us that Sakura was pregnant with your child?" I felt my stomach churn at Kimiko's words. How did they know?

Tadashi and Shin turned to Kimiko. "When were you going to bring this to our attention Kimiko?"

I froze. "Who told you?" Could that person be the leak? No one knew but Temarii, Kankuro, myself and the doctor. None of them would tell because they were sworn to secrecy but Akio…..

"My source is not important. How could you keep something so important from us? Your child would inherit the Kazekage title. That is something your counsel should know." Kimiko's voice was stern.

I didn't trust her. Very few knew of the child and even fewer could not be trusted. "You dare tell me your source isn't important? Sakura is missing! No one I trusted would dare tell you so yes your source is important." My hands were clenched in tight fists. How dare she tell me her source isn't important. They could know where Sakura is.

Sand wrapped around Kimiko lifting her from her chair. "You say my child is so important but you refuse to release your source when it could very well save their life." I felt my control slipping. Sakura was in danger and Kimiko could be the one preventing me from finding her. "You are the leak." Nothing else made sense but that. She couldn't know about Sakura unless she was. "You can tell me the truth or meet your end."

The sand started tightening around her. Her screams got louder the tighter the sand got. Then I felt it, the chakra signature I had been looking for.
