A/n- ok, i never actually thought about doing a story like this, but after i read a couple of stories my friend sent me, i though, 'yeah, sasuke's cute, but Gaara's cuter!' and yes, i am a Sasuke fan, not fangirl, but fan, and i realize how hot Gaara is after all, so lets see if i got the magic for this story. (yes i know how dumb the chapter's name is, sorry! (;o)

Chapter 1 - I love the sand!

Sakura's POV

It has been 3 years since Sasuke left, which means it has been 3 years since i began training with Tsunade, i have one day left training with her, because i am
getting too strong to handle, and i am passing Tsunade in not only smarts, but strength, power, chakra, and beauty...ESPECIALLY BEAUTY! It is unfortunate
really, now i have more Fanboys, than i have clothing, and trust me, when Sasuke left, Ino re-became my b-f-f, and THAT GIRL KNOWS HOW TO SHOP!
Her whole life revolves around three things, me(her b-f-f), Shikamaru(her boyfriend), and shopping.

Normal POV

It's now 5:30 AM and Haruno Sakura is beginning to awaken. She lies in bed, wearing her pink silk p.j.s and the covers no longer covering her body, her eyes flutter open. Sakura stands up and walks over to her curtains, she pulls them open and stares at the Sakura tree, just barely blossoming in her yard. She sighs. She walks to the bathroom and turns on the water, and on hot too.

Sakura goes to her closet and pulls out her clothing and sets them on the raque by the shower. She then takes off her pjs, and steps in the shower.

The water quickly speeds down her body, like a car being chased by the cops,(sorry, there arent cars there) her pink hair flows over her back, slowly taking in
the water, she decided today she was going to cut her hair, it's already down to her lower backside, she wanted and liked it short, why? She did not know, but
Ino said longer hair suited her, anyone elses opinion was the same, but she liked it short.

After she got out of the shower, and dressing, she was wearing a white shirt, and a pink short skirt. She had on her pink sandles as well, she put in her headband,
and in pulled the bangs out of her face. She had a well curved body, even the jerkiest most stuck up guy, couldn't help but stare, she found it quite amusing to
watch a guy stare at her, mouth hanging and needing a mop thanks to all of the drool.

'Good morning!' Her Inner Sakura had finally awoken, to ruin herself's day.

'Hn.'

'You always say that, why are you/myself so cold, i didn't do anything, it was that damn Sasu--'

'SHUT UP OR DIE!' Sakura mentally punched her in the face, and nearly broke her inner self's jaw.

'Ouch! Ok, you will kill me if i don't' Inner Sakura ran off with her dreaded life hanging along side her, and Sakura sighed.

"I'm going to kill her one day..." Sakura stood up and right on cue, the doorbell wrang. When Sakura opened it, she saw Naruto. It was only 6:00 in the morning, what in Kami's name was he doing up? He never woke up this early unless someone walked in on him and dangled Ramen under his nose!

Yawns"Hey Sakura, umm, Tsunade-sama wanted me to come here and tell you she wants you to come by her office...NOW, how she got me up, the usual, hanging Ramen underneath me...speaking of which, i need to go get some for reafast, im taking Hinata to a romantic dinner tonight." yes, Naruto finally realized Hinata's love for himself, and he found his love for her shortly after.

"Thank You Naruto-kun, go get some sleep, and eat, AND TAKE A SHOWER, YOU STINK!"

"YOU TOO!" Naruto threw back.

"YEAH, BUT IN TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAYS DOBE!"

"Oh, you mean i smell bad..."

"DUH! WHA'D YOU THINK I MEANT?...Wait, don't answer that...I dont wanna know."

"Fine, whatever, i'll catch you later"

"See Ya." Naruto left her house, and a majorly confused girl too. "But, what would Tsunade want with me?"

----At Tsunade's office---

"Geez, where's Sakura, i thought she'd be her by now" as if on cue, her door exploded onto the ground, and a pink haired Kunoichi(sp?) burst into the room.
She picked up the door and slammed it into the wall, causing the walls to crack alittle and causing a certain femal blonde Hokage to wince, being glad she was
not the walls or door, then sakura bolted on a bunch of locks, and locked them all.

Sakura was panting, "Sorry '-huff-' I '-pant-' Fanboys...'-pant-'...looking good today..'-wheeze-'...pain!" Sakura slid onto the floor resting.

"Wish i was ther to see it, then" Sakura gave a deadly glare to her soon-to-be former teacher.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... So, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, please sit."

"Encase you haven't noticed, i'm already sitting.." Sakura and Tsunade chuckled.

"Ok then, anyways, this is a sort of spy/body gaurd thing, i want you to spy on the leader of the village of the sand, while protecting/healing him, since of course,
he may be in danger, and he's important."

"Yay, i just love the sand..." she said sarcastically, "Since when is Gaara important? He's cold blooded, possessive, cruel, intimadating, smart, deadly, mean, and sraight-forwardly evil!"

"How do you know him? An old boyfriend perhaps?" Tsunade raised an eyesbrow, while Sakura crinkled her nose, in disgust, and furrowed her brow.

"I don't think so. He's the one who physically damaged Lee-san, the one whom' you had to spend weeks maybe even months trying to heal!"

"Oh, okay, well you will, bacause he has helped us all out many times before, you will protect him and heal him and his village, and you will also try to find out if
there is any changes to betray Konoha. Understood? This is a b-class mission, can you handle it, you will be alone."

"Have i ever failed a mission? I have always been alone, but i am used to A-rank missions, so this will be eaisier than said."

"uuhun, you will be there for about a year or two, and will be living with Kazekage and his family."

"You mean I will be living with Gaara, Kunkuro, and Temari, for more than 1 year?"

"Yes"

"I accept, but this sucks ass..."

"Hey, respect me the little while you have, jounin, and you are an ANBU mamber, don't start pouting on me!"

"Yes Ma'am..."

'HELL YEAH! SUN BATHING, FINALLY A TAN!' Inner Sakura screamed

'We, are going on a mission, and it's in the dessert, we'll be burned to a crisp baka..'

'Party pooper' inner stuck out her tounge.

'Put that thing back in your mouth, or i'll rip it off.'

'yikes!' inner quickly yanked back her tounge.

"When do I leave?" Sakura asked after battling whether Inner should keep her tounge or not.

"At noon, you might want to hurry back, it's already eight, and you still haven't eaten."

"Crap, why is everything always short notice, pft, you hang out with Kakashi too much."

"What, why didn't you call him sensai, wait, is it because of that Sasu--"

"You don't want to finished that sentence, or do you want to see why they think i will/did surpass you?"

"mumbles yeah, whatever, NOW GET GOING, and you might want to hurry, Ino is on her way, unless you want to buy a completely new wardrobe
for your trip?" Tsunade smirked, and Sakura paled, said, "gulp' bye-bye" then poofed back to her own place.

----11:59, almost noon---

"There, 3...2...1...GOOOOO!" Sakura took off running, and waved her goodbyes.

She was going really fast, no less, she would be there the next day, no one could ever keep up with her, whether it be walking, jogging, or running, she was
just too fast, she quite frankly like it, she didn't have to hear Ino screaming on and on about how cute a dress or Shiakamaru was, if she ever talked about Shika,
Sakura ran off fast than you could say, 'genin' which was really fast.

By the end of the day, Sakura wasn't tired at all, she never even broke a sweat, but she knew after about a week or so, she would get tired, so she set up camp, and ate her dinner. She had surprise weapons all over her, in her 'lip gloss' or 'eye shadow' or even a fake purse she would sometimes carry around, had hidden weapons in them.

Sakura heard a rustling in the bushes, but she didn't even flinch, not one musle moved, she just acted as though she didn't ever hear it, and if anyone ever thought she never heard it, they were greatly mistaken. She could hear a sound from 6 miles or more away, with Naruto, and hinata combined, she had to learn. Naruto was easy to hear, so when Hinata and Naruto started going out, Sakura had to put up with almost hearing nothing, and DEFINATLY hearing everything. She easily heard more than supported. Hinata helped her hear from very far away, Naruto, he sort of helped, by making it go from quiet to LOUD in less than 1 kilo-sec.

She felt someone trying to mask themselves, they would have done a great job, if it weren't Sakura down there.

So Sakura decided to speak up,"You can come out now, i feel, hear and sense you, you cannot hide from me." absolute silence. This annoyed Sakura to the bones, so she decided to scare the living crap out of them, she pulled out her 'lip gloss', and threw it torwards the person, he was sitting in a tree, and he saw the 'lip gloss' come torwards him, he never noticed what was inside the 'lipgloss' and just thought, 'Pft, women...' then "BBOOOOOMMM!" the branch he was on had made contact with the lip gloss, and the brach broke, throwing off the man, in front of Sakura.

When he awoke, nearly 2 seconds later, he groaned and opened his red/black eyes, just to see twinkling green ones, and a smug, smirking girl, who said, "Why hello again,--"
