Mission 2: Secret Love (Front)
♫
It was raining heavily outside, a pink-haired girl was standing near the window.
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
She was staring at the sky that covered the moon up with it's dark cloud while counting the countless raindrops.
It wasn't long after she saw the black shadow outside her house, staring at her place. She turned her back to see what's behind her; nothing at all. She pointed her finger at herself asking if the shadow was staring at her and it was a nod, nodding yes.
She jumped down through the window and faced the shadow.
"Sasuke-kun?" She asked, "What brings you here?"
"You, I missed you," said Sasuke.
"I..missed you too... " She confessed back. Suddenly Sasuke's face blurred, no, it was changing... the hair colour turned red, a word was carved on his forehead by the sand, Ai, and a gourd appeared on the back.
"GAARA! IMPOSSIBLE!" She shouted and everything turned black.
"You called me?" A little voice asked. Sakura tried to open her eyes and she saw Gaara was standing next to her bed.
"Gaara..? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked.
"You shouted my name," Gaara explained.
"I did?" Sakura asked, as if she was asking herself. She remembered that she did shouted his name in her dream, "Oops, I didn't mean it," She blushed.
She remembered something... it was early in the morning; the light isn't even out yet and Gaara was standing close to her.
"You seriously don't sleep, do you?" She asked, confirming what Gaara had told her when they were sleeping together in the old lady's house.
"Yup," Gaara answered.
"You don't feel sleepy?"
"None of your business,"
"As if I care," She murmured to herself.
"You said anything?"
"Um... no"
Sakura stood up and walked to the window while Gaara went back to his own place. It was raining, just like in the dream she had.
"Sasuke-kun.."
♫
If you asked me how much I love you,
I will tell you that it will be as much as the blue sky that we are looking at.
♫
"Sakura-chan?" Temari asked, noticing that Sakura was a little bit out of character while they were having breakfast.
"Um..? oh yeah, what were you saying?" Sakura was snapped out from her thought.
"Are you okay? Do you want to take a rest from today's mission?" Temari asked Sakura.
"Sa..mm..ku..mmm.. ra..crunch.. chan..gulp, YOU ARE SICK!" Naruto asked in surprise while trying to chew on his breakfast.
"No..no, I'm fine, I don't need a rest, Thank you," said Sakura.
"If you say so... well, today, I wanted you to go with Gaara to the Aoi village; an A-ranked mission,"
"A-ranked..? But we are just jou-" said Sakura but before she could finish her sentence, Naruto cut in.
"How about me!" asked Naruto, wanting to follow Sakura.
"You've got something more important to do with Kankuro," Temari explained.
"But but... I don't want to be with that creepy puppet guy," Naruto whined.
"I heard that," said Kankuro.
"Can I go with Sakura-chan pleeeaassee?" Naruto pleaded.
"No, I wanted you to go with Kankuro to Umi village,"
"Buut..." Naruto complained but something caught him off guard.
"You are following me," said Kankuro after he used his puppet to capture Naruto and placed Naruto inside the puppet.
"Leeeeeeet me ouuuut!" Naruto shouted but Kankuro just took Naruto with him to do their mission.
"Okay, continue with the mission, Sakura-chan, I want you to protect the princess from Aka country with Gaara to Aoi Country. Both of the countries had been having war ever since a very long time ago. The Aka country's king wanted to have a peace contract with Aoi country because too many people were hurted from the war. Both of the countries' kings agreed a peace contract will be made by marrying both the countries's prince and princess. But the news was kept as a secret because some of the citizens don't agree with this pact since they had suffered too much and they might want to block the pact from happening. Therefore, Aka country's king had sent some people to Suna to request for a protection from us," Temari explained.
"But, we are just Jounins. Isn't A-ranked missions are supposed to be carried by someone higher ranked?" Sakura asked.
"True... but currently, we ran out of ninjas especially after the incident.."
"B-but, Orochimaru is currently aftering Gaara as well,"
"I don't mind," said Gaara after hearing what Sakura had said.
"Okay, it's set then. Come in, Tomoyo-hime," said Temari. A girl came in through the door, long silky black hair with amethyst purple eyes. Beautiful is the only word that can describe her outer look.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Daidouji Tomoyo," Tomoyo bowed.
"Ah...wait Tomoyo-hime.. ouch!" A boy, short blue haired with a pair of grey eyes tripped right after he walked in.
Thump!
Stuff wrapped in silky clothes fell down from the boy's hand.
"I am sorry.." The boy apologized.
"It's okay, Eriol-kun," said Tomoyo with a giggle, lowering her body down to help Eriol packing the stuff back.
"You don't need to help, Tomoyo-hime, I will do it," said Eriol.
"Hmm... how many times do I need to remind you not to call me hime; only Tomoyo or -chan will be fine too," Tomoyo pouted.
"I'm sorry.. hime.. I mean Tomoyo-hime," Eriol apologized again.
"Ahem..." Temari coughed while Sakura and Gaara were looking at the couple.
"So-sorry," said Eriol again.
"It's okay, you don't have to say sorry so many times," said Temari.
"Leave him say it or else he won't be able to sleep in peace tonight," said Tomoyo.
"Um.." Sakura raised her hand, wanting to say something, "When will we be departing?"
"Oh right, you will depart starting from now; the trip won't be a long one, probably a day or two," Temari explained.
"NOW!"
♫
If you asked me how much I missed you,
I will tell you as much as you can think of me.
♫
"Are you tired, Tomoyo-hime?" asked Eriol.
"Didn't I tell you--ah nevermind, I'm fine," Tomoyo answered.
"I think we should get a rest here since it's late now," Sakura suggested. Everyone stopped walking and rest nearby. Tomoyo walked down from the trolley that she had been sitting on.
"I will go get some fresh water at the river nearby," said Sakura.
"I will follow," said Tomoyo. Sakura and Tomoyo walked together to the riverside.
"What is the relationship between you and the black-eyed guy?" asked Tomoyo when they were filling their bottles.
"Black-eyed guy? Oh, you mean Gaara-kun, I am just something like his bodyguard," Sakura explained.
"Bodyguard? I think it's more like he is protecting you," Tomoyo teased Sakura.
"Why..how dare you!" Sakura get angered but burst into a laugh after thinking for a while, "I think that's quite true too,"
"Do you like him?" Tomoyo asked again.
"Him..? uh, no, no way I will like him..." Sakura paused, "I've got someone whom I really like.."
"Same... "
"Huh? Same?"
"I've got someone that I really like as well,"
"The prince from Aoi country?" Sakura asked in curiosity.
"No, of course not, I've not even met him before,"
"Then?"
"I like Eriol..." Tomoyo confessed.
"ERIOL!" Sakura shouted but her mouth was closed by Tomoyo's hand to keep her quiet, shoo
"Quiet.. he might had heard us," Tomoyo commented.
"Oops, I'm sorry but since you know you like Eriol, why are you marrying the prince from Aoi country?"
"I am a princess, I can't bare to see my people dying from the war. If I can give up my happiness for theirs, I don't mind to do so,"
"B-but, you will be regretting,"
"I...I don't even know if he likes me... "
"You will never know if you never tried it before," said Sakura.
"RUN, Tomoyo-hime!" One of the guard that was asked to protect Tomoyo rushed to Tomoyo and took Tomoyo's hand to run with him.
"What happened!" Sakura asked the guard.
"There..are..people..who..attacked..us..!" said the Guard, while breathing hard.
"Attack? ERIOL!" Tomoyo remembered.
"No, hime, you must go and hide with me," said the guard.
"B-but, Eriol is in danger!"
"Follow him, Tomoyo-chan. I will go and save Eriol," and Gaara. said Sakura, "Follow him and wait for us once you had reached a safe spot,". Tomoyo nodded her head as an agreement to Sakura and she followed the guard.
Sakura ran as fast as she could to the resting spot and saw the people were fine and they looked at her with a questioning look.
"I thought someone attacked you guys?" Sakura asked in a curious tone.
"What attack? We had been resting here all the while," answered one of the guy.
"Oh..no.." Sakura shook her head, not wanting to know how silly she had been. Not wanting to believe what she's going to say, she said, "Tomoyo-chan is captured,"
"What do you mean by she's captured!" asked Eriol in a furious tone, shaking Sakura's body to wake her up in case she said it unknowingly.
"Take your hand off her," said Gaara in a rather calm but cold and demanding tone.
"Sorry, I was just too worried about Tomoyo-hime," Eriol apologized, letting Sakura go.
"It's okay... we should go and look for her now, I think they are still in somewhere nearby," said Sakura.
♫
If I know that it's the last time I am going to see your smile,
I will crave your smile deeply within my heart.
♫
"Tomoyo-hime Where are you?" Everyone was shouting for Tomoyo although they know the chance of Tomoyo replies is very very low; more likely to be impossible.
"Hiiragizawa-kun, I think I've found something," one of the guardsmen called Eriol.
"What is it?" Eriol asked after he walked to the guard's place. The guard pointed at a Amethyst coloured earring.
"It's Tomoyo-hime's earring!" Eriol shouted.
"And there's a footprint over here," another guard shouted.
"This footprint is quite new, they aren't very far away from us," A voice said. It was a familiar voice... Sakura turned to the voice and saw Gaara was touching the mud around the footprint; trying to get a feel of it.
"This way," Gaara pointed to the left side. Everyone followed Gaara while he was taking the lead.
"Hopefully Tomoyo-hime is okay," Eriol mumbled to himself when he was following Gaara.
"Don't worry, she will be alright," Sakura comforted Eriol.

A cliff hanger! This story is a little bit too long... I will write the Back part of it soon since I've got the whole story running in my head.
