Warning

Me: I don't own any of these characters.

Gaara: Hn

Me: Is that it?

Gaara: Hn

Me: What about you spiky?

Sasuke: Hn

Me: Is that all you two can say lately?

Gaara & Sasuke: Hn

Me: You should at least yell at me or something. You are both so quiet.

Gaara: Quiet's good.

Me: No it isn't

Sasuke: I find it calming to be in complete silence.

Me: Is that why your character on the show is such a prick to Sakura? All she was trying to do was open you up a bit.

Sasuke: Hn

Me: (Whack)

Sasuke: Oww!

Me: (whack again)

Sasuke: … And you reason for that was?

Me: For being a prick

Chapter VI Wedding Plans

"Gaara, when should we have our wedding? I was thinking spring, but the weather lately has been nice." She said. "I don't know, Temari's been planning this awhile. You should ask her, she has better taste. You never know she might have already had every thing done." "Alright but don't blame me if you don't like something." "To me the important thing is that we are happy and married. It doesn't matter when as long as it happens."

Sakura was just getting ready to go find Temari when Gaara stopped her. "You never did tell me what he did to you." He said looking over his paperwork. "Well, let's just say he's lucky I didn't get mad enough to take away the possibilities of future little Uchihas." She said trying to change the subject and fast before Gaara did something rash. "If he tried what I think he did, then he's lucky that you didn't tell me while we were there or I'd do it for you no matter how mad you were." He said smirking, hinting it was okay for her to go now.

Sakura wandered up to Temari's room and knocked on the door. "Come in." Temari said. Sakura pushed the door but was surprised to find heavy boxes in the way. "Oh, sorry about that." She said moving the boxes. Sakura entered to a room filled with wedding magazines, white things everywhere, and different wedding ideas and clip-outs posted throughout the room. "Looks like someone's been busy." Sakura said indicating the various items near here.

"Well I thought you'd like some help." She said smiling. Sakura sat down near Temari as she started throwing different items at her. "Do you want a lot of people to come? What color bride's maids' kimonos do you like? When do you want it? Have you picked a dress yet? Where do you want the wedding? Do you want it inside or outside?" Temari said so quickly she ran out of breath.

"A little slower would be nice." Sakura said flustered from all the questions. "Oh sorry. Well I'll start with a very important question. When do you want to get married? Have you talked to Gaara at all?" she said. "Gaara said he didn't care and to ask you. I don't know, the weather is so nice lately. I don't know if I want to wait for spring." "How about the end of next month?" Temari suggested. "That sounds okay I guess." "Okay, next question, where do you want it?" she asked. "Probably here I suppose." She said after thinking for a minute. "How about we go shopping for a dress right now: you seem a little hesitant to answer the questions. This way you have time to think." Temari said concerned that Sakura wasn't equally excited about planning the wedding as she was.

They went to a bridal shop in town and looked at various kimonos. She first tried on a dress with long white sleeves. It fit just fine but it wasn't just perfect so they tried another. The next one was a dress that was similar to a halter top for straps. It also fit but it wasn't just right to Sakura's taste. She looked through almost a dozen before she came to the perfect one. She tried it on and she instantly knew that it was the one she wanted. It was long and sleek with now sleeves or straps. It was a silk kimono, with three layers and with a shear see-through top layer that was embroidered with silver stars and a moon at the bottom. It reminded her of the stars they looked at every night in the garden. It was perfect. She thought to herself.

They purchase the dress and were walking out of the store, when Sakura felt strange. It was like a guilt pain but she couldn't quite put a finger on it. "Hey, you okay?" Temari asked with concern. "Yeah I'm fine." Sakura said. "Probably just wedding guiders." Temari said walking happily. "Yeah that's probably it." She couldn't quite shake the feeling and went to bed early so she could think for a while. What is wrong with me? She asked herself over and over.

In her dreams

They were in Sasuke's apartment. She was sitting on the couch. Sasuke was sitting in front of her feeling desperate. I want her more than anything. "Sakura, I know I left you and I've been a jerk. I love you and I promise to never hurt you again." Sasuke said. "Please I need you. Will you please stay with me, say yes?" Did he just spill his guts to me or does he need me for something else? I don't know I've always wanted this, but it feels wrong. "Of course." She said with hesitation.

Waking up

What the hell did I just say? 'Of course,' why would I say that? Why would I even dream about that, it's ridiculous? I love Gaara, Gaara! she said to herself calming down. I'm getting married to Gaara, what a way to doubt myself. Why had I said yes? She thought to herself. Wait, where am I? This place is strange. She found herself in a dimly lit room with one window shedding little light into the room. She looked around to see a door in the corner of the room, a dresser near it and herself on a bed with black silk sheets.

She waited there in silence for ten minutes, still baffled by where she was. She herd a noise in the hall, then the door flew open. "So you are awake." Said a smirking figure. The figure stepped into the only light in the room to reveal himself. The person was tall and had black hair and eyes. His shoulders were broad and he was built, not heavily built but enough to prove strength. There in front of her was Sasuke Uchiha. "Sasuke, what do you want?" she said pushing herself as far back against the headboard as she could manage. "I want you and Uchihas always get what they want. So here you are." He said calmly as she looked for a way out. "If you are hungry, I have lunch waiting for you. You've been out most the morning, it's about one now." "I'm not hungry. Where am I?"

"We are at my brothers old hide out. I found it after his defeat. I followed Kakashi right to you." he said with the same grin. His eyes and grin both had a hint of lust that frightened her. "Gaara will have noticed you are missing by now, but that's not important right now. The important thing is that I spend as much time with my bride as possible. Now get dressed, your things are in the dresser." He said walking out the door. Once he was gone, she got dressed and left the dark room.

Five hours earlier with Gaara

"Where is she? She never sleeps past seven thirty." Gaara said getting impatient. He walked up to her room. He knocked, no answer. What did I do now? He thought to himself before opening the door to her room. She wasn't there. He searched the washroom and she wasn't there either. He left to find Temari as he started to panic though he did not show it. "Hey Temari, have you seen Sakura? She didn't come down for breakfast and wasn't in her room." "What did you do know idiot?" she said smirking at him. "I have no idea." He said. "Okay, you search up stairs and I'll search down here." They searched every room in the mansion. She was gone.

"Where do you think she went? I would think Konoha but we just left there. She wouldn't want to go back, not yet anyway." Gaara said pacing, trying to think clearly. Temari tapped her chin in thought. "I don't know where she could be? Maybe she went back for something. She wouldn't just up and leave it's not like her." "You checked the city already?" he added. "Yes Gaara. We have checked everywhere. The guards know nothing and the whole town is on alert. Maybe you should check Konoha. Ask Naruto or Kakashi, or maybe that blonde girl Ino, that's her best friend right?" "I can't just leave, why would she go there anyway? I already have a search party looking for her." he said in his cool 'everything's fine voice' "Now, you are just being stubborn. You love her. Your duties can wait. Between me and Kankuro, the work will get done. I promise." "Fine." He said hesitantly. What the hell am I stalling for, nothing's more important. "She need's you idiot. Get going!" She said yelling at him as he left the room

Chapter VII Terribly Jealous

Sakura spent most of the day as far away from Sasuke as possible. She searched many of the rooms to look for a way out. She soon realized that the hide out was nothing more than a maze with many rooms, a maze that was impossible to get out of. She was getting a little hungry and, against her better judgment, accompanied Sasuke to dinner. She ate dinner in silence and did not look at him the whole time. She slipped away after dinner to explore more rooms in the hide out. She passed through many rooms that were empty. She came to a last door down the hall and opened it. She peeked inside and walked in. Before she new it, she passed out and was caught by Sasuke.
