See You Again Chapter 5: Team 7 Reunited, the Love Triangle Begins
.
.
Sasuke let his arms encircle Sakura's waist, while Sakura put her arms around Sasuke's neck.
Then, Sasuke deepened the kiss, since Sakura did not object when he suddenly kissed her on the first place.
At first, Sakura was shocked when Sasuke suddenly deepened the kiss. But then, she didn't hesitate. She feels safe when she's around Sasuke. Slowly, she opened her mouth to let Sasuke in. At once, Sasuke's tongue entered her mouth, brushing against hers. The two continued to kiss for a few minutes. Then they heard footsteps approaching the kitchen. Quickly, but hesitantly, the two broke the kiss and looked at the person.
"Hey Sasuke! Hinata and I finished cleaning your bathroom!" Naruto proudly declared. Then, he noticed that Sasuke looked extremely pissed off and Sakura was red as a tomato. "What's the matter?" he added.
Sasuke shot him a venomous look. "If your done, then get the hell out of here!" he barked at Naruto.
Naruto winced at Sasuke's remark. "Okay, okay!" he said as he pranced away from the two. When Naruto was out of sight, Sasuke turned to Sakura who was blushing tremendously.
"I'm sorry Sasuke... I... I got carried away." She admitted, still blushing.
Sasuke smiled at her. "That's ok..." he said. But inside him, he wants to strangle Naruto to death for interrupting them.

at the hospital
"Yoko, we must go back to the restaurant." Gaara spoke, trying his best to hide the sadness in his voice. Then he turned to leave.
"Hai!" Yoko chirped and followed Gaara.
On their way, Yoko could not stop herself from blabbering about Sakura who finally found the people involved with her past. "It was really heartwarming when they hugged her! And you know the guy Sasuke? The handsome guy? There was something special in the way he looks at Sakura. Maybe he's Sakura's boyfriend or hus-"
"What?!" Gaara asked, wanting to confirm what Yoko said.
"I said that Sasuke must be Sakura's boyfriend or husband, judging for the way he looks at her. He looks so... In love! If that's true, Sakura must be the luckiest girl in the entire world!!!" Yoko happily said, clutching her hands in her chest.
'It could be possible... that Sasuke is Sakura's boyfriend' thought Gaara. But he wished that what he was thinking were not true. 'What if they're just friends?' he thought. But one thing's for sure. He wanted to find out the truth. And to find out the truth, he must talk to Sasuke.
Then Gaara saw a man with gray hair sticking up from his head protector. His face was covered with a piece of cloth, except for his right eye, deeply indulged in reading his book; 'Icha Icha Paradise'. He decided to ask this man about Sasuke. Who knows? He might just know him.
Gaara approached the man. "Excuse me, but do you know someone named 'Uchiha Sasuke'?" he asked, hoping that he knows.
The man looked up from the book he was reading. "Yes. I know him very well... why?" he asked.
Gaara jumped internally. "Could you take me to his house?" he asked. Yoko, on the other hand was confused with Gaara's sudden interest about Sasuke.
"Uhm... Gaara? I thought we would go back to the restaurant?" Yoko asked uncertainly.
"You go ahead." He answered. 'This one's more important' he thought.
Yoko nodded. "Okay." Then she ran off to the other direction. It was just Gaara and the man now.
"Why do you want to know?" asked the man, surveying him.
Gaara tapped his foot impatiently. "I want to talk to him about something." He simply said.
The man stood up and pocketed his book. "Follow me." He said. Gaara obeyed and followed the man.
As they were walking, the man suddenly spoke up. "Who are you?" he asked.
"Gaara... you said you know Sasuke very well. What's your relation with him?" he asked out of curiosity.
"I'm Hatake Kakashi. Of course, I know him well. I'm the jounin who trained him. Sasuke's a very talented ninja, you know..." he said. "Well, not just him. Naruto and Sa- I mean, the whole team 7 are great ninjas." He said abruptly. He almost mentioned Sakura. Until now, he still couldn't believe that she was gone.
Gaara nodded. 'So he was a great ninja...' he thought.
"Here we are." Said Kakashi as he stopped in front of a very miserable looking house.
"Are you sure this is the place?" asked Gaara as he gazed around.
Kakashi nodded. "It was not really like this a few years ago." He explained. He walked towards the door and knocked. After a while, it opened, revealing a blond lad wearing a foxy grin on his face.
Naruto's face brightened the moment he saw Kakashi. "WAIII!!! KAKASHI- SENSEI! WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! NOW WHOLE TEAM SEVEN'S COMPLETE!!!" he hollered loud enough for the people in the outskirts to hear. Then he gave Kakashi a bear hug.
"Naruto! Get off me!" said Kakashi as he struggled against Naruto's bear- like grasp that is making him choke. 'Wrong Naruto, wrong... team seven will never be complete again.' He thought.
"Naruto! What's the racket?" came Shikamaru. "And why aren't you wearing your shirt? Don't tell me you took a bath." He added when he noticed Naruto was shirtless. He and Ino are done cleaning the living room.
"Uhm... Naruto-kun let me borrow his shirt since mine got wet..." Hinata shyly explained, as she emerged from the bathroom, curious why Naruto shouted like that.
"Hey look! Kakashi's here!" said Ino who was standing by the sofa.
Kakashi looked around. "Why are you guys here? Don't tell me you're having a reunion when you didn't invite me!" he told them.
"Of course not, Kakashi-sensei! We're just helping to clean up this place! And guess who's back?!" said Naruto, obviously happy.
"Hmmm..." Kakashi thought. But it was cut off when Sasuke emerged from the kitchen, his left arm around Sakura.
"Why are you shouting like that, Naruto?" he asked.
"Sa-Sakura?!" asked Kakashi bewilderedly as he stared at her.
Naruto grinned. "Yep! Kakashi-sensei! Sakura's back! She didn't died in the first place!" he explained proudly to his bemused sensei.
Gaara coughed, trying to get attention. The others looked at him.
Then Kakashi remembered. "I forgot, Gaara came here to talk to you Sasuke." He said.
Sasuke nodded. "Very well." He said as he motioned Gaara to sit on the couch.
"I came here to talk to you." He said. "In private." He added.
Sasuke looked meaningfully at the others. And they went out of the house saying that they will clean the garden. Outside, Naruto was explaining to Kakashi why Sakura was back, occasionally being corrected by Shikamaru. Ino, Sakura and Hinata are talking about the plants.
inside
"What is it that you want to talk about?" Sasuke asked Gaara coolly.
"What's your relation with Sakura?" Gaara asked pointedly. He wants to know what's between the two. He wants answers, right now.
Sasuke cocked his head slightly, which annoyed Gaara a bit. "Sakura and me? She's my wife... why?"
Gaara just heard the words he feared. 'Sakura and me? She's my wife... why?' those words resounded inside his head. It felt as though he was about to shatter into pieces with those words. He doesn't want to believe it. 'It's not true, it's not true...' he thought over and over again.
"You're lying." Gaara said, hoping that he was right.
Sasuke looked insulted. "Lying? No I'm not. We're married, so what is it to you? Unless..." Sasuke said but abruptly stopped, wearing a disbelieving look in his face. "Don't tell me that-"he added with a tone of fury in his voice.
Gaara looked down and put his hands on his head. He dared not to look at Sasuke. "Too late Sasuke... I fell for her..." he said finally.
Sasuke was filled with shock and rage. He grabbed Gaara by the collar and glared at him. "Leave us alone! She's my wife, and that's it! Never dare to show your face here again. Leave Sakura alone!" he bellowed.
Gaara pushed Sasuke's hand away; anger was also burning in his eyes. "Like I knew she was married! And what kind of husband are you? You never even tried to look for her!" he bellowed back.
"I thought she was dead!" Sasuke defended, still glaring at Gaara.
Gaara cursed under his breath. "But you can no longer change the fact that I love her." He shot back.
Sasuke had had enough. He punched Gaara squarely on the face hoping that he could knock some sense into him. Gaara staggered from the punch, but he too was able to give Sasuke a punch as well. Then, Sasuke punched Gaara on the stomach, leaving him dazed for a second, enabling him to drag him out the door. The others looked shocked at what they saw. Sasuke and Gaara are fighting.
"You two! Stop it!" said Kakashi as he tried to calm the two. "What's the problem?!"
Sasuke gave him another glare and walked towards Sakura while wiping blood from his mouth. He instinctively put an arm around her possessively. "Ask him!" he said.
Kakashi looked at Gaara. "What is this?!"
Gaara glared at everybody except Sakura. He stared at her for a while. "I love you Sakura." He said.
That did it. It caused Sasuke to go berserk again. He strode towards Gaara and gave him a powerful punch. Kakashi, Naruto and Shikamaru ran to them and restrained a raging Sasuke from hitting Gaara again.
"You! I want you to leave now! And don't ever come back!" hollered Sasuke, his eyes filled with anger.
Gaara need not telling twice. He smirked and then he looked at a petrified Sakura. "I'm gonna get you Sakura." He said and turned to leave.
When Gaara was out of sight, they released Sasuke who was still fuming. "Damn that bastard! I'll kill him!" he said as he kicked a pot out of anger, causing the shards to fly about.
"Whoa! Sasuke calm down!" Kakashi told his former student, while motioning all of them to come inside.
Inside, Ino tried to start a cheery conversation to take their minds off from what just happened. Well, she got Naruto, Shikamaru, Hinata and Kakashi to forget the event, but Sasuke and Sakura still didn't. They just sat beside each other, not breathing a single word.
Sasuke swore he would kill Gaara if he shows his face again in their home. Then he glanced at Sakura who was at his right side. He saw that she was desperately trying to fight back her tears. Gently, he wiped them and put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. Sakura didn't protest. She buried her head on Sasuke's chest. Sakura was confused. She wasn't sure about her feelings. Well, Gaara's always been nice to her, but she didn't regard him more than a friend. On Sasuke's side, it was different. Even if she just met him this morning, she felt a sense of comfort when she's with him. She feels so safe with him around... and it feels nice. It makes her feel warm and loved... maybe she's beginning to have feelings for Sasuke again...
