A/n: Hi! Glad the people who reviewed liked it, yeah this idea popped into my head and I just had to type it up before I lost it!

Sakura sat in the carriage as it made it way back to the leaf nation, they carriage came to a slow and then stopped; Sakura stepped out and began walking up the outside stairs of her castle.

The doors smashed open, "Sakura!" Tsunade yelled and ran towards her daughter grabbing her in a ginormous hug.

"Mom…I-I can't b-breathe" Sakura muttered out, her mother released her, "sorry" she murmured, "Sakura!" Jiraiya, Sakura's father, ran out "My baby girl's back!"

Tsunade tripped him before he reached Sakura, "now, now honey we must let Sakura rest, we leave tomorrow morning" she said, Jiraiya face on the ground.

He stood up, he was serious now, "Sakura I'm sorry that you have to do this, but to make an alliance between us their must be a royal marriage, our country cannot take much more of this" he said sadly.

"I know" Sakura replied, "Sakura, you will have to marry the Sand lord's brother, it seems that he refuses to marry and we got recent hearings, the Sand lord found a girl he wishes to seek out" Tsunade said.

Sakura walked up to her room and saw all her stuff was packed, she lay on her bed and thought of Gaara, she let out a sigh, "why me?" she asked herself.

She picked up the necklace and admired it, 'now I will never see you again' she thought sadly and with that fell asleep.

The next day at Sand…

"Lord Gaara, the royal family of the leaf kingdom should arrive around noon" a servant said interrupting his breakfast, he had been in a bad mood ever since he got home, and we all know why.

"What time is it now?" Gaara asked irritated, "11am, sire" Gaara stood and headed towards his room to get ready to meet his brother's to-be-wife, 'I'll find you Sakura, and I will make you mine' Gaara thought as he began to get dressed.

Gaara walked into the meeting hall, where he saw his brother, Kankuro, and his sister, Temari, waiting for him.

He sat down in his chair and turned it to face the window; he looked out over his vast kingdom and beyond its boundaries, and somewhere out there she was waiting.

Gaara was just about to loose it when a guard came in, "my lord, the royal family has arrived" he announced.

Gaara rolled his eyes, he didn't bother turning his chair around yet (it was one of those big chairs where you can't see the person from behind).

"Presenting the King, Queen, and Princess of Leaf" the guard announced, they all walked in, Sakura saw Kankuro, 'ugh…he wears make up' she thought to herself.

Sakura looked at the big chair, where she assumed was where the Sand Lord was, 'how rude' she thought.

He stood and turned around, his eyes grew wide as he saw Sakura, she stared back at him, her eyes even wider, she looked and saw he wore her locket, and he also noticed she still had the charm he'd given her.

There was a long silence, everyone stared at them as they stared at each other, 'this is not possible' Sakura thought.

"Hey Gaara" Temari broke the silence, "isn't that your charm" she pointed to Sakura looked down; she grabbed it and stuffed it down her shirt.

"Speaking of which Sakura isn't that the locket I gave you?" Jiraiya asked, looking at Gaara, Gaara froze and did the same as Sakura.

"Ok everyone sit down we need to discuss something" Tsunade said glancing at Gaara and then to Sakura, who were now avoiding eye contact.
