"You better take it, it'll be the last thing you get from Sakura…" Kakashi whispered into Sasuke's ears.
"Are you ok Sasuke? Here." She held out a pink cloth with cherry blossoms on it. He stared at it for the moment and took it. Kakashi decided to let go and let him leave.
"Sasuke…" she murmured out his name, nobody but Kakashi heard it.
"I just don't understand it…I always thought that he hated me…" Sakura was sitting on one of the roofs of Sand, her feet dangling over the sides.
"If you knew…would you have gone to him?" Gaara sat beside, her watching her every movement.
"…I don't know…" Sakura didn't want to look at him, she felt confused, she didn't know what to do.
"…" Gaara lowered his head, feeling heartbroken.
I told you…they will leave you eventually…Leave you to the way you were before…
He stayed quiet, letting the voice in his head fill out his now empty mind.
Emotions are weak…They are nothing…
He closed his eyes, feeling something hurting them. He cried softly, allowing the tears to fall down his face. He felt someone's hand on his face, wiping his tears away.
"But, I'm with you now and I have no regrets." She smiled at him.
He felt lighter, as if a burden has been lifted.
"Sakura…" he embraced her in a hug hoping that he would never have let her go.
"I won't hurt you…physically or emotionally…" Sakura spoke softly.
"I'll protect you…no matter what…" he closed his eyes.
On a roof in the far side of the village, stood a tall and dark figure. His eyes filled with loss and face filled with confusion.
Sakura…I've lost you…I thought you would wait for me…I was wrong…
Something stung his eyes, they were tears.
Sakura…I thought you love me…I was wrong…
He clenched his fist until his nails dug into his skin. They bleed.
Sakura…I won't lose you…I'll get you back…Even if I have to kill Gaara…
His face went from sorrow to anger.
Sakura…you're mine…I will get you back…no matter what…
He stood up, the blood dripped onto the floor.
Sakura…I promise…I will get you back…
He had a new purpose now, and that was to get her back.
Gaara…I'm coming for you…so you better watch out…
He jumped off the roof onto another, eyes flaring from normal black orbs to the Sharingan. Searching for his new target, his new kill.
I'll get you both!
"Ouchies." Sakura yelped in pain as she sucked on her thumb.
"What's wrong?" Gaara asked as he peeked inside the kitchen.
"I accidentally cut my thumb." She pouted her lips and showed Gaara what happened.
"It's only a small cut…" he spoke after close examination.
"But it hurts…" she pouted some more.
"You should stay away from the kitchen."
"It's not like you know how to cook." She glared at him.
"Well, you never asked…"he smirked at her as she looked up at him.
"Do you know how to cook?" partly hoping that he can.
"No…" his smirk disappeared as she made a sweat-drop…
"Well, you were implying that you knew how to cook…"
"It doesn't mean I know how to cook…"
"Whatever…" she looked away from him as he bandaged up her thumb.
"Let's go out for dinner." He asked while still holding onto her hand.
"Why? I can cook."
"I don't want to find you bleeding to death in the kitchen."
Sakura pouted her lips as she leered at Gaara, but relaxed after a bit. 'I guess it's his way of saying 'I don't want you to get hurt.'
"Sure, where do you have in mind?"
"…Ramen?"
"Mou…you hang out with Naruto too much, it's rubbing off on you, one day I'm gonna find another Naruto instead of Gaara…" she teased as she poked him in his ribs.
"Can't help it."
"Hey! Sakura-chan! I found this neat ramen stand! It's so good!" Naruto shouted out to her as he hailed the bar keeper for more ramen.
"Hi Naruto." She smiled as she took a seat beside him. Gaara hesitated before stepping into the bar, but was met with odd stares and glares. Sakura noticed this and decided to have takeaway instead.
"Ano, can I have two miso ramen please, were gonna eat out thanks." Sakura spoke to the owner who was uncertain about serving both a leaf shinobi and Gaara of the sand, but decided to do it anyway, if it means getting rid of them faster.
After a few minutes, he gave them their orders and Sakura paid for it, picking up their orders and leaving, dragging behind Gaara. "Geez, what the hell is their problem. It's like they've never seen a leaf shinobi before."
"They weren't looking at you that way."
"Ok fine, maybe not at me but I don't like the way they were looking at you." She spoke angrily.
"You noticed?"
"Of course I noticed! I'm not smart for nothing ya know." She smiled at him as she continued to hold onto his hand trying to find the best place to eat quietly. "Where's a good place to eat?"
"Kankurou and Temari are usually training at this time, we can eat at my house."
"Is that an invitation?" slowing down to a stop.
"Yes?"
"You sound unsure…"
"I'm sure."
"Ok then. So, where do you live?" she asked as she let go of his hand.
Oh no, I've lost complete inspiration on what to do with this fic…and I really don't want to let anybody down…what am I do to!
