Chapter 16
Sasuke eventually got Naruto an extra pair of cloths and Naruto eventually got dressed and they both eventually left the house to go train and to meet up with Sakura and Kakashi.
The walk to the meeting place was a long one because Sasuke lived on the edge of the village. Naruto walked as close to Sasuke as he thought was appropriate but they both agreed that it wouldn't be good for them to hold hands or anything.
They walked in silence for once and just enjoyed each others company they knew Kakashi-sensei would be late so they didn't hurry. It was not the nicest of days the sky was overcast and it really looked like rain.
Sasuke silently wished for rain so their training would be cut short and Naruto and him could…hang out more. Sasuke glanced over at Naruto and smiled, Naruto was like his personal sunshine no matter how dark it got.
Naruto caught him looking and stuck out his tongue the whisker like markings on his face crinkling up. "What cha lookin at bastard?" Naruto said in a slightly mocking voice.
"There's a beautiful chick behind you, move your head dobe your blocking my view…" Sasuke smirked as Naruto's foxy grin faded and he turned around looking for the nonexistent girl Sasuke had been looking at.
When Naruto realized that Sasuke had made him look he shot him a glare. "There ain't no cute girls there you dumbass I do see rock lee however….you must have been lookin at him eh baka?"
Sasuke was caught off guard and he tripped slightly before he caught himself. "Fuck you dobe lee ain't even there!"
Naruto glared again and opened his mouth to say something but by then they had reached the meeting place and Sakura was there. They lapsed into an awkward silence and Naruto shifted his feet.
Sasuke had adopted his usual mask and he looked totally calm and in control. Sakura just sat on the log she had been sitting on and she was staring at Sasuke as if Naruto didn't exist.
This wasn't unusual and Naruto wondered for a second if he had fallen asleep while waiting for Kakashi and the past few days had been a dream. His face must have been giving away his thoughts because Sasuke turned and gave him a small smile as if to reassure him that it wasn't a dream.
The silence dragged on for a few more minutes and then there was a gust of wind and Kakashi-sensei appeared. He bowed and when Sakura and Naruto didn't yell "YOUR LATE!" he decided something must be terribly wrong.
Kakashi decided to pretend he didn't notice that things weren't right and he opened his mouth to make an excuse for being late. "Well I saw this one girl to day her name was Kerin and she was in distress so I had to help her out…." Kakashi trailed off glancing at the sky in what he hoped was a wistful expression.
"Can we get on with the train sensei?" Sasuke said in a sarcastic voice. Kakashi turned around to face Sasuke, his visible eye brow raised. Sasuke never said anything about him being late or at least he hadn't before….
Kakashi scratched the back of his head and sighed this was going to be a long day he too began to wish it would rain…
Sakura sat in silence and stared in Sasuke's general direction. The strange boy, Gaara had come to visit her last night and she kept on thinking about what he had said….
Flashback
Sakura woke with a start, her window was open and the moonlight shone with a soft light. She reached for her bedside light and switched it on, wish a moment later she hadn't. She was instantly confronted with a picture of Sasuke looking cool and collected as usual. She wanted to scream and throw the picture across the room and at the same time she wanted to hug the picture and kiss it like she usually did.
Everything was different now, she glanced at the only other picture on his bedside table. It was a picture of her, Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi. Sasuke, Naruto, and her had their headbands slanted over their eyes Kakashi style, Naruto was in front like usual hold both hands in a peace signs and grinning his infamous grin. She was on the right of the picture sticking out her tongue leaning over with her hands on her knees. Sasuke was blushing and looked as if he didn't want to be in the picture he wasn't looking at the camera. Kakashi was in the back ground his also infamous book in hand a light blush on his cheeks. Tears started to well up in her eyes, that damn mission to the bridge had changed everything. The one she loved more then life itself didn't like or maybe hated her. She felt she didn't belong to the team, since every mission it seemed she was the one that did the least, she felt like she was butting into a relationship and she felt useless.
Sakura felt hopeless and the tears just kept pouring down her face she felt like once she was down crying she would die, she wanted to die. Sasuke hated her and he liked Naruto she hated Naruto how could he do this to her?
Someone cleared their throat behind her and she turned around quickly. She almost tumbled off her bed in surprise when she saw who it was. The boy she had seen the other day on top of the ramen shack was standing in her room staring at her.
"Wh…why are you here?" Sakura clambered out of bed and then moved so it was between them.
"I am Gaara a shinobi of the sand I need you to do something for me." Gaara said this calmly with no emotion.
"Why would I help you I don't even no you, what the hell are you doing in my bedroom?" Sakura was still recovering from crying and her voice was hoarse.
"First of all I heard you crying like you where about to die so I came to see what it was about I was coming to purpose to you an idea of mine that can get us both what we want so badly." Gaara paused to see if she was following, she nodded and he went on.
Sakura felt shaken after he finished what he had to say she didn't say anything and eventually he left with an "I know you wont fail to complete what needs to be done."
End of flashback
Sakura had told herself it wouldn't and couldn't work but now she wasn't sure. Gaara was counting on her and she knew he might really kill her if she didn't do what he had told her to do.
Sakura's eyes focused again and she blinked. Kakashi was here and they were about to leave to go train. Sakura made up her mind that she was going to help this stranger, with that she got up and brushed herself off.
She gave everyone a smile and started off to the entrance of the woods where they would be training. She could tell everyone was giving her confused looks at her back but she kept walking not looking back.
Once inside the woods Kakashi gave them their mission they were to each find 3 white rabbits he had let lose in the forest. Once he got a nod from each of them he dismissed them and sat down on a rock. He immediately pulled out come come paradise and was instantly engrossed.
The three looked at each other and then headed opposite ways all of them wanting to get it over soon.
Sasuke had wanted to stick with Naruto but then it would be slower because they would probably find something more interesting then finding rabbits and then they would never get done.
Once out of site of everyone Sakura hurried to the place that Gaara guy had told her to wait for him. When she got there he was there standing by the small pound his arms crossed. He nodded at her a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Wait here …and catch…" Gaara tossed a traumatized tied up whitish brown rabbit at her. She caught the poor thing with a gasp and she immediately sat down and started to untie it.
She started to tell Gaara how cruel he was and reprimand him but he wasn't there, he had already left in search of his target. Sakura sighed it was too late to change her mind, she stroked the rabbits ears and thought about Sasuke.
Gaara dashed through the woods in the direction he thought Naruto would be heading in. He spied a hint of blond hair and he rushed silently after it. He came to the edge of a clearing and he gazed in for and saw his prey. Naruto was standing with his back to him one hand resting casually on his hip with the other he was scratching his head.
"Naruto…." Gaara tried his best to sound some what like Sasuke and he thought he did pretty damn good because Naruto turned around.
"Sasuke?" Naruto was squinting into the trees trying to catch a glance of Sasuke.
"Why don't you come out here?"
Gaara stepped out into the clearing and Naruto's eyes widened in alarm. "Who the fuck are you?"
Gaara grinned "What the matter I'm Sasuke right?" Gaara stepped closer to Naruto.
Naruto assumed a battle stance "Your not Sasuke your some freak!" Naruto started to run towards him "I'm gonna kick your ass!"
Gaara was still grinning when he his sand shield came up and he was still grinning when he knocked Naruto out and he was grinning even more when he picked Naruto up and carried him away, Naruto was his now. (A/N sry Gaara ooc O.o)
