I do not own Naruto… never will… unless I buy it from Kishmoto sama! Once Again… that is highly unlikely…

Sakura jotted down the last of her letter and pinned it up to Naruto's door.

It read: Dearest Naruto,

I regret to tell you that I can no longer stay in the leaf village… it is not safe for the villagers, and it is not fair… I know of your attempts to get Sasuke to stop his antics… but I find it hardly fair that I should put a stop to the ANBUs' missions… it is not fair to put the villagers in danger just because of my selfishness… I really wish I could stay, but I can't, I refuse to put you in danger… You really are one hell of a Hokage! CHA!

With all my love,

Sakura

Sakura took a deep shaky breath, for this was the hardest thing she ever had to do.

With one last look around the village, she gathered her things and other essentials… then she walked off toward the cargo trains…

"Oh! Shit!" She yelled as the train she was planning on taking started moving away.

She sprinted to the train, getting to the second to the last car, she jumped on.

Once inside…

Sakura sighed, hugging her things to her chest.

"Just to be clear," A familiar cold voice sounded. "This, over here is my side."

"Y-you?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, I am me, and you are you… must you make this more complicated?" The voice said sarcastically.

"Wait… you…you're…?" Sakura asked more than said.

"Oh come on now… you almost had it… I'm- I'm who, now?" The voice said again with an added sneer along with sarcasm.

"Gaara sama?" Sakura asked awestruck.

"Don't call me that…" Gaara again sneered.

"Sorry, Kazekage sama…" Sakura bowed her head.

"Don't address me as so… I am no longer the Kazekage, and I refuse to be addressed as Gaara 'sama'… you are just like all the rest… afraid that I'm going to kill you… afraid of me," Gaara growled.

"Let's get this straight, buddy. I thought I might show you some respect, by adding the honorary… and you have never once said, in my presence, that youdespise being called 'Kazekage sama' or 'Gaara sama'. Second, I am not afraid of you, and if I was, god knows, I would have jumped out of this boxcar long ago… but here I sit, yelling at you… would I honestly be lecturing you if I were terrified of you? And thirdly, why oh why are you no longer the Kaze-freaking-kage!" Sakura screamed.

"Lovely… the only thing I hate more than weaklings is loud mouthed shinobi, with nothing backing them up…" Gaara glared at her. "And there is no way in hell I would give out information to the object of my displeasure…"

"Quit pouting! The only thing I hate more than black haired chicken boys is crazy red haired firecrackers, that go off even if you burn them in the slightest!" Sakura shouted back. "You need to get your act together and quit moping!"

"Do not tell me what I have to do… I don't take orders from little pink konoichi…" Gaara scoffed.

"Well, you should start!" Sakura fired back.

"Don't get yourself killed…" Gaara said lowly.

"Not by you! For your information I'm not running away from my own will! I'm protecting Konoha!" Sakura yelled.

"Yeah, that's what they told me…" Gaara snarled. "They were protecting Suna."

"Guys? Can't we all just get along?" There was a bark of a dog to puntuate the sentence.

"I mean come on, Sakura, Gaara… we all know eachother…"

"Um… I'm afraid if I can't see your face… I don't know you…" Sakura said to the dark corner of the boxcar.

The mystery person walked out of the corner to reveal himself.

"Kiba?" Sakura asked incrediously.

"You forgot Akamaru… but you got my name right…" Kiba said. "So what's all been happening since I've been gone?"

"Naruto became the Hokage… Hinata is still missing…" Sakura said sadly.

"Yeah, I know Hinata is still missing… I've been looking for her… but Naruto became the Hokage, huh? Well, you didn't have to really think about that to know it was gonna happen…" Kiba laughed. "So you guys are going to the village in the clouds too? What a coincidence…"

Hi! Hope you liked it! But that's not the end! I know… I'm sorry…

So it's going to be a huge journey to the cloud village and stuff… fun…

Gaara and Sakura will get along better… don't worry… Gaara is just kind of… bitter…? He'll get better…

Till next time…

R&R.

Ribbons and string…
