"YUKII!" Sakura screamed "what?" said Yuki while stretching. "Breakfast is ready!" Sakura yelled." Alright! Give me like five minutes!" Yuki yelled back. She rushed to the washroom to freshen up then she dashed downstairs. "Hi Sakura…" Yuki panted. "Took ya long enough!" Sakura laughed "c'mon eat already!" after breakfast Yuki took a shower and she got dressed in some casual jeans, a loose fitted t-shirt, and she let her hair down today.
"Sakura where are we going today?" Yuki asked. "Oh you'll see." Sakura giggled. "And you say I giggle too much!" Yuki protested. As they neared the mall, Yuki spotted a small boutique and decided to check it out. Sasuke saw Sakura and Yuki go into the small store and he took this chance to set up a trap for Yuki. She would fall into his arms when she walked out of the boutique. Sasuke thought to himself 'this is your chance! Go get her.' And as she tripped over his trap sasuke ran just to see that she was caught in Kakashi's arms. Disappointed he walked over and just asked Yuki if she was okay. Yuki totally ignored him because when she fell she was reaching for something to hold onto and she grabbed Kakashi's mask and off it went. "K-ka-Kakashi!" she said jumping up and out of Kakashi's embrace, looking at his face. Sakura stared in awe; it was her first time seeing the face of her Kakashi-sensei. "Um thanks Kakashi," She said giving him the sweetest smile "oh and sorry about your mask." Still holding it tight she handed his mask back to its owner. Sakura looked around and saw sasuke still standing there. "Hey sasuke!" Sakura said cheerfully. "Hn... what happened here?" sasuke said. "Yuki here… tripped." Kakashi said holding up the string that was used to trip Yuki. "You alright?" sasuke said coolly. Yuki looked away and set her eyes onto Kakashi's naked face. "I'm alright…now." Yuki said giving Kakashi one of her cute smiles. "Sasuke! Want to come to the mall with us?" Sakura chirped. "Hn… whatever." Sasuke said blandly. "Yay!" Sakura yelled. 'This is only for Yuki.' Sasuke thought. "Bye! Kakashi." Yuki yelled as she waved good bye and Kakashi waved back. As they entered the mall Sakura said to Yuki "we're starting school tomorrow I think you should get the uniform first." "alright." Yuki said gleefully thinking that this is her 7th school uniform she sighed. When they were done the school uniform part of the shopping it was already lunch. "Have any suggestions on where we should eat?" Yuki chirped. "Sushi!" Sakura suggested. "Alright! Let's go!" Yuki giggled. As they walked into the sushi bar, the three could not believe who they saw behind the counter. "GAARA?" Yuki yelled. Gaara looked up and saw sasuke and gave him a death glare. "Yeah Gaara we came to eat." Sakura said quietly looking down so her eyes don't meet his. They ate quietly as sasuke and Gaara exchanged their death glares. "Mmm...I'm so full!" Sakura said breaking the silence. "He he… yeah thanks Gaara." Yuki said cheerfully and payed the bill. She looked up "thank you Gaara!" she smiled at Gaara. The other two had left the bar already. "Bye Gaara!" said Yuki before she left Gaara.
"So where are we going to go now?" Sakura asked sasuke. "I don't know." Sasuke said for the first time looking into her emerald eyes and he fell into her trance. "What's wrong sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked sasuke who just couldn't stop staring. "nothing." He replied coldly. Sasuke had never seen so much of one feeling in her eyes before. "Why did you decide to ask me to come to the mall with you?" sasuke asked the pink haired girl. "You know why. I told you before you left." Replied Sakura with a little smirk on her face. Sasuke just looked away 'Sakura is older now how can a girl like a person for so long?' sasuke asked himself. He looked at Sakura once more 'she looks different' he thought. "Let's go sasuke." Sakura whispered. They saw that Yuki was already ahead of them.
When they left the mall sasuke walked the girls home. The walk was quiet. When the three had gotten Sakura and Yuki's home. Yuki ran inside the house and up to her room. Sakura had taken her time, when she had closed the door she heard her door bell ring. Sasuke was still outside. She opened the door and saw sasuke. "Sasuke?" she said. "Come with me." Sasuke said. Sakura nodded and followed him leaving Yuki behind.
"SAKURAA!" Yuki yelled in the empty house. 'No answer?' she thought to herself 'she must have gone out with sasuke! Ha-ha the two lovebirds' she had decided to go out too, she wanted to see Gaara. She ran to the mall and into Gaara as he was just leaving. "Gaara!" Yuki shrieked "I wanted to see erm… talk to you." Yuki said. Yuki grabbed Gaara's hand and she started to run to a nearby park. "Gaara when did you get the job at the sushi place?" Yuki nervously asked. "today." Gaara said still holding hands. "Why would you need a job though?" Yuki asked. "To support her, if I get her." Gaara answered looking down and pulling away from her hand. "So you already have a girl you like. I see." Yuki said with a pain in her chest. Yuki got up and choked out the words "um Gaara I have to go now. I'll see you around." She ran past Sakura and sasuke with tears in her eyes and ran home. Back at the park Gaara was still sitting on the bench and he said to himself "and that her is you Yuki." He got up from his seat and left.
That night was miserable Sakura slept over at Sasuke's and Yuki was home all alone thinking about her past with Gaara. 'Six years, six years ago I met Gaara he was always depressed until the day I met him. I remember the day before I left we promised each other that we will still love each other the next time we see each other. I kept my half of the promise. I guess he doesn't remember…' 'Maybe it's because of that obnoxious introduction of myself I gave to him.' She thought. She heard a rapping at the window she got up and walked to the window, but in the window she saw a reflection of a girl with tears running down her face. She opened the window to see Gaara. Trying to act cheerful she asked "hey Gaara! What are you doing here so late?" "I need to talk…" Gaara replied. "Okay. Come in!" Yuki said trying to smile while her heart ached. The two walked towards the bed and sat down. "Yuki…" he began "yes?" Yuki said as if the incident in the park had never happened. "…you know how I told you there is this girl I liked? I though that you were her but I was wrong." Gaara said almost silently "yeah?" Yuki sobbed. "Her name is Yuki too…"" and when I ran into you in the alley I though that she had come back. She is the only one I love. And you remind me of her." He finished as he looked into her eyes. "You met her six years ago right?" Yuki asked. "Yes... she said she would come back… I loved her so much… so I decided that I would not leave Konoha until she came back." He said with a sigh. "She's here in Konoha waiting for you." Yuki said as she took his hand and kissed it and looked into his jade eyes. "Remember this?" she asked as she took out a necklace from under her pillow. "You gave it to me six year ago." "Yes I do. Do you want me to put it on for you?" asked Gaara. "yes." She smiled. After he put the necklace around her neck he caressed her face as he looked deeply into her eyes and took her into an embrace "I've mi-"he cut her off. "Shhh…" he said and kissed her on the lips. As one thing led to another Gaara had spent the night with Yuki.
