Don't ask why I'm starting another story, I just have an idea that i have to get written right away is all! Gaasaku fic! i love that couple! So fun to read! I'll be working on this more often then the other stories i have because the other's I think I want to wait on for a while because finishing stories fast(i can finish all my stories in one day if i was really dedicated) and it's not as fun to write it all at once you know? I am fast at coming up with ideas and so I just want to let my mind settle the ideas and modify, so I'm starting this story! Next I think I may do ItaSaku or ItaOC.

Takes place 1 year after volume 27 when Naruto leaves with Jiraiya for his training. Sakura is with Tsunade, Sasuke is with Orochimaru.

I don't Naruto, believe me, if I did Sasuke would've have been such a barnacle head (heehee spongebob) and Gaara would fall in love with someone finally... Sakura!

Gaara and Sakura: A Love story

Prologue

Sakura walks into Tsunade's office for her daily training. She sees Shizune walking out. Shizune smiles at her.

"Good morning Sakura-san, here to see Tsunade-sama am I correct?" Sakura nods her head.

"Well, see you later than." Sakura waved her goodbye. Shizune turns around one last time. "Oh, Sakura i meant to tell you, Tsunade-sama's assigning you a mission." "Thanks for letting me know Shizune-san." Sakura smiled politely and walked into the office. Tsunade had her usual expression of a half smile when Sakura walked in.

"Ah, my favorite girl ever! I have a mission for you." Tsunade stated. "You will go to the Sand Village and teach your medical abilities to the medics of there village, lately I've noticed a lacking in medical abilities there. You leave today in 3 hours, get packed. Sakura had a disappointed look.

"Short notice eh?" Tsunade nodded. "Only because I think you are perfect for the job, originally signed to myself"

"I'm only about, no not even half as intelligent as you Sensei!."

"I believe you'll do fine." You bow and walk out. As you are on your way home, you begin to think. " 14 years old. Medic nin trained by the 5th Hokage. Mission-train some sand nins about a ninja's 'first aid kit' well, Sakura, good luck!'

She gets home and begins to pack her usual wardrobe. Black shorts that stopped at her upper thigh. a black scarf like skirt(Yuna's normal outfit from X-2) and a silver tank that had fishnet/under armor sleeves. She wore black buckled and chained boots with some hidden weapons instead of your basic Shinobi Sandals. Her kunai hoister was strapped onto her belt. She wore her hair up like Anko and had highlighted silver streaks in it. One of her jobs as a Kunoichi is to catch her opponent of guard and so she dressed like any normal girl would. Sakura had even began to wear Eyeliner, eye shadow and lip gloss even jewelry that could be used as a weapon since she hid kunais on it as if they were part of the design.(kunais are tiny)

She finished packing and put on her glasses to go. She wore glasses that would become shades in the light since they have the ability to see things just like the Byukugan can. She designed it herself. On her way to the gates of Konoha, she saw Kakashi.

"Yo!" he said. he still had that same laid back tone and look.

"Hey Kaka-sensei! I have a mission is the village of sand! Want anything from there?"

"You alive maybe?" He joked.

"Of course I'll be." Sakura hugged her sensei. Since Naruto and Sasuke were no longer around, at least for a while, Sakura became very close to Kakashi , he was like a father to her. He wasn't what she'd call a lover but just a family like love. He waved her good bye and began to read his dirty novels again.

When Sakura finally made it to the Sand village, she was tired. She had been traveling for two days, so she didn't look so good. She used a jutsu Tsunade taught her to increase looks to a more 'I take good care of myself' look. Sakura looked as if she didn't even feel the least bit tired, and she wasn't, Sakura was always fully rested nowadays. She walked into the main building-where the Kazekage lived, worked and anything in-between. She was greeted inside and had asked to see the Kazekage. She found out that they had a new Kazekage, so she wanted to find out the news. Tsunade told her that she'd be surprised. And she would. A sand nin walked towards Sakura and she shook his hand.

"Haruno Sakura, and you are?"

"Tanaka Keitaro. The KazeKage is in his office, may i be so kind to escort you my dear?" He said politely.

"Arigato. Is everyone this polite these days? "She looked around. he smiled.

"Doo itamashite. I only want to help. Please, follow if you may."

How was that? for a start? Hope you review for me! 'arigato' is thanks and 'doo itamashite' is your welcome. Tell me if i did better in revising, my computer was acting stupid and wouldn't let me edit my mistakes at times so it might be a lil odd okay? Thanks! P and P!

Ja mata,
