A/n: Hi! Well I am updating! Yeah! Well I am going to camp until Saturday so I will not be able to update until then! I am sorry but it is the way it is! Well I hope you like the chapter! R&R!

Sakura ran in the manor, "mommy, daddy!' she yelled rushing towards their room, she turned the corner and 'Bam!' she fell on her butt, she looked up and saw Sasori and Deidara, "what is it puchi hana?" Sasori asked, "Mommy, daddy! I just mastered the hidden mist jutsu ootoji Kisame was teaching me!" Sakura smiled as Sasori picked her up.

"Really that is very good" Deidara smiled at her daughter "he say I might even surpass him someday" she beamed "I'm sure you will" Sasori said to her "and you know what today is?" he asked as they walked towards the kitchen "my 10th birthday!" Sakura cheered, they walked in the kitchen and "SURPRISE!" Kisame and Zetsu jumped out holding a cake.

"Yeah!" Sakura smiled even wider, Sasori put her down and she ran to the cake "ne, Sakura-chan you want a piece?" Kisame asked, Sakura nodded furiously "please ootoji Kisame" Kisame smiled "ok, here you go" he said handing her a piece of cake, "Sakura what do you want to do today?" Deidara asked, Sakura was quiet for a while.

"I want to visit Suna again!" Sakura smiled, "ok we will go as soon as you're ready" Sasori said to her, Sakura hurriedly ate her cake and ran to her room "Sasori?" Deidara looked at him, "don't worry Deidara you're coming and we have some business to attend to there anyway and Sakura is learning how to handle two puppets and I must get another made for her" Sasori said heading for the front room with Deidara behind him.

Sakura ran in with her Akatsuki cloak (and again it is not like Deidara and Sasori's it is a normal cloak just same design) on "I'm ready" Sakura smiled at her parents, "alright" Deidara said and they headed out the door, "Sakura why do you want to go to Suna?" Deidara asked, Sakura blushed "well I met a boy there and he was really nice and I want to see him again"

Deidara giggled with her daughter as they continued their sprint to Suna, "a boy?" Sasori asked not liking the sound of this "oh Sasori it's just a little crush don't go into over protective father mode" Deidara teased, Sasori glared at the woman, how he hated and loved her, "I just don't want Sakura to…to…" he thought a bit "to get cooties" Sasori said.

Deidara and Sakura looked at him, "Sasori…is that your best excuse because I have heard better from week old bread" Deidara said to him, Sakura laughed she loved her parents, to her she could wish for none better they loved her and her mom acted immature and pulled pranks on the other Akatsuki members with her, while her dad was to her the most powerful of the group, he was stronger then ootoji Kisame and Zetsu and ever struck fear in Itachi-sama.

Sakura laughed again hearing her mother taunt her father even more, her mother always made fun of her dad and her dad would get really mad at her, but would never yell or do anything, he had so much self control, until it came to Itachi, Sakura frowned remembering that night about 5 years ago.

Flashback…

She woke up hearing her mother scream through her door, Sakura went out and knocked on the door, her dad had answered it and let her in, her mom was on the bed crying, I heard dad say something about Itachi and assumed he did this.

I crawled up to my mom and she wrapped her arms around me, then my dad left the room and the next thing we heard was loud bangs and yelling, my dad's yelling, I had never heard him yell before, it was terrifying, I knew he was yelling at Itachi-sama.

Then the door opened and he walked in and got into bed and went to sleep, I stayed awake a little longer wondering what happened, but didn't linger on it for I fell into deep sleep.

End Flashback…

Sakura came back to reality and saw the village coming into view, Sakura smiled she loved the sand village, she hadn't been there in a long time, finally we arrived at the gates, Sasori quickly killed the guard by the gate, "Sakura you have Raku-n?" Sasori asked her, "yes dad I have him hidden away just in case" Sakura smiled "now you can go look for you friend but meet use here later tonight" Deidara hugged her.

"Ok I'll be careful, I love you" she hugged them both and they returned it "love you too" they smiled and headed off into the village for their 'business', Sakura wondered and found the playground she played at when she came here, she went in and saw the small children playing, Sakura walked over and kneeled down by the sand box.

Sakura smiled remembering the boy she met here, think about his red hair and eye's that matched her own, she smiled again, she got up and turned and their walking by was the boy if her current thoughts "Gaara!" she yelled happily, he froze and turned ready to defend himself when he saw who called his name he went wide eyed.

"S-Sakura" he said under her breathe, "Gaara-kun you remember me!" she hugged him, he stiffened, he was not used to the human contact "Gaara-kun how have you been?" Sakura asked releasing him, he looked at her she was a lot prettier then the last time he saw her "fine…I guess" he said weakly, he stared at her she had shoulder length hair and her eye's were more beautiful then before.

"Gaara-kun, what's that?" she asked worriedly placing her hand on his forehead, he grabbed it and pulled it down "it's nothing" he said harshly, Sakura smiled at him "ok well I found you and now we can have some fun" Sakura smiled and looked at his neck, there to her surprise was the necklace she gave him 5 years ago "Gaara-kun" Sakura smiled "you kept it"

He looked down at the necklace "Of course I kept it, you were the only person who ever showed me kindness" he told her, Sakura blushed and grabbed his hand "come on I'm only here for the day so lets spend it together" she told him, he blushed slightly at her contact, "we should probably eat first" she said to herself.

"What do you think Gaara-kun?" she asked practically dragging him down the street, "I don't care" he said not looking interested, "um Sakura" Gaara spoke up after awhile "what?" she turned to him, he looked at her "Sakura I have to tell you that well I might be an attempted assassination" he looked down, she looked at him sadly "why?" she asked.

"Well I have been deemed to dangerous for my village and my father will send people to assassinate me" he told her, Sakura hugged him "Gaara I'm so sorry" she let go and looked into his lonely green eyes, "it's ok Gaara I can take care of myself I am train by some of the best shinobi" Sakura smiled, he looked at her and smiled a tiny bit.

"Now come on were wasting time," Sakura smiled pulling him into a restaurant, they were seated at a table by the window "so Gaara tell my what has happen in your life since my last visit" Sakura smiled at him, Gaara looked at her with hesitation, he looked into her kind eyes and sighed, he began to tell her about all the assassinations and his uncle and how he got the tattoo.

Sakura sat baffled how much had happened to him, "I'm sorry Gaara" she said sadly, Gaara looked out the window at the busy streets of Suna, after their food arrived Sakura basically vacuumed it into her mouth, they walked out of the restaurant and Sakura saw a paint stand, she walked up to it "hey Gaara I have something to recognize you with how about I get something so you will always know its me?" Sakura asked him.

He stared at her "I guess so" he answered watching her closely, she walked up to the stand and talked to the woman there, then the woman got out air paint and began drawing something on Sakura, Sakura paid the woman and walked back to Gaara "look" she smiled and showed him her left inside wrist.

His eyes went wide as he saw the kanji for love air painted on her skin, "now I have to put a seal on it so the paint never washes off," Gaara watched as she made some hand signs and placed her hand over the paint, a purple glow emitted from her hand, she removed it and it was there on her skin, she got her finger and ran it down the paint but nothing happened.

"There we go" Sakura smiled, Gaara just stared at it, he looked up at her face 'this girl why is she so different from the others?' he wondered, "Gaara how about you show me around Suna" Sakura interrupted his thoughts, he looked at her "ok" he said, she grabbed his hand and they proceeded walking around Suna.

Sakura and Gaara sat on the village wall looking out at the desert and the stars, "Gaara I had a really fun day today" Sakura said leaning on his shoulder, Gaara felt chills run up his spine from her touch, but they were the good chills, Sakura looked up at him and he looked down at her.

"Sakura" Gaara said placing his forehead on hers, he looked straight into her eyes "this has been a really good day and I…I really like you" he said nervously, Sakura smiled "I really like you too" she leaned in and so did he just as they were about to kiss, a cough was heard, Sakura and Gaara turned their heads to see Sasori "oh hi daddy" Sakura said nervously.

Sasori glared at Gaara, Sakura noticed "don't worry it's just because you're a boy" she laughed "Sakura get over here we're leaving" he said harshly, "ne! Sasori leave them alone for a minute" Deidara appeared grabbing Sasori's ear and dragging him off, she turned and winked at Sakura.

Sakura looked back at Gaara who looked back at her and once again they leaned in and their lips met, they broke apart and Sakura looked sad "I promise I will come back as soon as possible" she told him, he leaned in and kissed her again, she turned completely red "good make it soon" he smirked back at her.

Sakura smiled and got up, as did he, she hugged him and then followed her parents "Sakura! Your first kiss!" Deidara giggled, as Sasori pouted, Sakura smiled at her mother "ok well we must leave now, oh and Sakura we got you this" Deidara handed her a fox puppet "it's name is Kitsune" Sasori said, "thanks" she smiled and hugged them both and then they took off back to the Akatsuki manor.

'We couldn't find any information on the Shukaku container, all the files have been thrown away' Sasori thought angrily, he looked at Deidara who had the same look on her face, they failed to find who was the container of the Shukaku, but he brushed it off as they neared the manor and headed to bed.
