Hyuuga Neji…
Sabaku no Gaara…
Uchiha Sasuke…
I know you must feel that there's a lot of Gaara and Sakura in this fic (which is my favourite couple AHEM) but don't worry, it won't stay that way forever…(laughs evilly)
AHEM! Cough cough…on with the fic.
AHEM AHEM…I'm a girl…read my profile…wahahaha!
Previously…
"She's mine."
"She can never be yours." Sasuke spoke up as he walked up to them, both him and Neji standing on either side of Gaara.
"Nor yours." Gaara looked sideways to Sasuke.
"She can only belong to one person." Neji eyes shifted from Sasuke then Gaara.
'And that person is me.' They thought in unison.
Once they were within sight of Konoha, Sasuke, Neji and Gaara dashed all the way to Tsunade's office, leaving Haru and Naruto behind.
"Ano…Why are they in such a hurry neh?" Naruto asked Haru as he made a sweat-drop.
"How would I know?" Haru shrugged it off.
"Let's go catch up with them or else the old hag will have our heads."
"Who's the old hag?"
"That's the fifth Hokage."
"She doesn't look that old…"
"WHAT! YOU DON'T KNOW! SHE'S ACTUALLY LIKE FIFTY OR SOMETHING!"
"No way!"
"Hell yea…"
Off they went to imagine what Tsunade would look like without that technique of hers, and they both shuddered at the thought of Tsunade as an old person with lots of wrinkles...
"I don't wanna know…"
"Me neither..."
"Let's go then…"
"HOKAGE-SAMA!" all three of them barged into the office where Tsunade was just sipping on her cup of warm sake.
"What?" Tsunade peered at them from behind her cup.
"Our report Hokage-sama." Neji puffed out.
"Ok, just write me out a report, it'll be easier that way." She motioned them to leave but they stayed behind anyway.
"We'll just say it here and now, reports take too much time." Gaara spoke as he regained his composure.
"I'm sure you've had a lot of time, considering that you were gone for so long." Tsunade stared at them suspiciously.
"Our mission to retrieve him was a success as you can see but-" Sasuke began but was cut off by Haru and Naruto.
"WE'RE HERE, WE'RE HERE!"
"Good, you do the reports." All three of them said at the same time and ran out of the door, leaving Naruto and Haru in the dust.
"Uh…what was that about?" Naruto asked Haru.
"I have no idea."
"Why do we have to do the reports?"
"I don't know…They seem more capable of doing it than us."
"What are you implying?"
"…Uh…nothing?"
"Yeah right."
"On with it people!" Tsunade slammed her fist onto the table and both of the remaining boys stared at her with wide eyes. And they both shuddered.
"What?" Tsunade leered at them.
"N-nothing."
"Neh Chiyako-chan? I have a feeling I'm being followed." Sakura turned around but didn't see anybody.
"I don't see anybody. Are you ok Sakura-nee-chan?" Chiyako gently tugged on her dress but Sakura smiled to her.
"Must be my imagination, don't worry." She smiled as she patted on Chiyako's head.
"Neh, can we get ramen?"
"No…" Sakura's eye twitched.
"What about-"
"No…"
"You didn't let me finish."
"You don't need to finish."
"Pretty please with a senbon on top?" She batted her eyes to her but Sakura turned away.
"No…" Sakura spoke as she walked off with Chiyako following her. 'She's practically eating outta my wallet.'
"Meany…" she pouted her lips. Sakura turned around and stuck her tongue out at her which she happily returned. All of a sudden, she could feel the floor rumbling.
"Sakura-nee-chan? Is that an earthquake?" Chiyako asked as she held onto her dress.
"It's too small to be one, and also we don't have earthquakes in Konoha." Sakura scanned around and off in the distance, she was a large cloud of dust?
"Sakura-nee chan, what is it?" Sakura looked down at Chiyako who looked up with her very worried face.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. I promise." She spoke as she held onto Chiyako a little tighter, and as the cloud of dust began to grow bigger and come closer, Sakura couldn't help but feel a need of Haru's presence out of the blue.
"SAKURA!" the cloud of dust seemed to call out to her.
"What the!" Sakura scrutinized at the haze that came faster and faster, soon enough she could see three forms inside the screen of dirt and possible sand?
"SAKURA!"
"EH!"
"Geez, you guys look like you've just run a marathon!" Sakura laughed at the sight of Neji, Gaara and Sasuke.
"Sakura." Sasuke managed to pant out but she continued to speak.
"I didn't even know you guys were coming home today! Not that I mind, it's great to see you guys back, especially you Gaara."
"Sakura." Neji puffed out exhaustedly.
"And you even scared Chiyako-chan!" she laughed as she poked at the said girl's face. "By the way, where's Haru and Naruto?"
"Sakura, we need to talk." Gaara huffed out in a serious tone and Sakura began to worry.
"Oh my gosh, did something happen to them?"
"No, they're fine."
"Phew, got me worried there." She smiled at them as she cocked her head to the side. "So, what cha guys wanna talk about?"
"Sakura, who do you love most." Gaara asked, it was more of a demand than a question though.
"Wha? Why?" she was starting to feel intimidated by the looks on their faces. Determined, frustrated all at the same time.
"We need to know." Neji spoke.
"How can I possibly choose? I love all of you." She smiled nervously at them.
"Sakura, answer us." Sasuke demanded.
"I really can't answer that."
"But I'm dating you!"
'You left me for three months.' She thought to herself and as she opened her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by Sasuke.
"You've been in love with me since our academy days!"
'But you never returned my love for you.'
"I shared my first kiss with you!" Neji shouted out.
'That was accidental…'
And as they kept on putting more and more past memories into her, she couldn't help but explode at the sudden amount of stress she had to deal with.
"SHUT UP!"
Everyone backed off, even Chiyako took a step back at the huffing form of Sakura.
"I am not some trophy for you to keep!" she glared at them. "I'm a person! I have feelings!"
"But Sakura-" Neji began but was cut off by her.
"No buts! And until you can think straight, I'm leaving all of you and I won't talk to ANY of you until you learn to respect me! You got that!"
She didn't wait for an answer but left, dragging a poor Chiyako behind her, scared out of her wits.
"Great, now look what you've done." Gaara stared at her retreating figure.
"Excuse me!" Sasuke repulsed.
"You heard what I said! Now she's angry at me!"
"You mean us!" Neji shouted at Gaara.
"It was your fault! She was mine in the first place!" Gaara yelled back.
"NOT EVEN!"
There ya go, fresh new chapter for all of you…
So tired and hungry…and slightly sleepy. Did I mention hungry?
