o.O This is what happens when you write a fanfic based on the lyrics of the first song you hear. Decided I might as well make this a collection of one shots of Gaara/Sakura fanfics. I could have posted this as another story but to be honest that would mean another story with 1 chapter and all those 1's are driving me crazy. I still have to write the next chapter for Selidas o.o and for Surviving the bet and for Two halves of a whole… Oh well. This just came in between lolz.

Anywayz, hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (or the song for that matter)

Your love for me came as a waterfall
Flowing inside me like never before
Your love for me, something I didn't see
But baby, I know better now

She hadn't believed it when she was told that he looked her way. And when his arm brushed against hers she had thought it was just a coincidence.

The fact that she noticed him being around more often was because of the good relations between the two hidden villages.

But she couldn't find a logical explanation for the butterflies in her stomach that went wild every time she saw him. She couldn't help admiring him, how he had grown physically as well as emotionally. Her heart raced as she quickly turned away blushing once he caught her staring.

Why her of all people? Why him? It was too impossible to be true. Or at least, that was what she so desperately tried to convince herself of.

When you walked in the room that very night
A special feeling just burst inside
There was only you, nobody else
But baby, I know better now

Naruto was holding a gathering for all of his friends. She was chatting away comfortably with one of the girls when he entered the room. Clutching her drink she swallowed it in one gulp. Sure it wasn't very ladylike, but she needed it to calm herself down a bit.

Her heart was going crazy again and appeared to be thrilled at the sight of him along with those annoying butterflies. The rest of the people that were present just seemed to fade away in the background leaving only him.

The way he skimmed over the crowd, the way he walked and even the way he talked gave away an air of authority. His very presence demanded respect from all who crossed his path.

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if I
Didn't tell you this tonight

She still didn't know how Naruto had caught on to her little crush however she would force it out of one of the girls later. Naruto had somehow convinced him to walk her home.

She was so nervous she could barely speak. Glancing at him shyly she knew she had to say something. "Do you want to come in?"

It had just slipped out and she mentally slapped herself for being so foolish.

"Sure."

Surprised she looked up at him only to find a strange expression on his usually stoic features that she couldn't quite place. Opening the door she stepped aside to let him in.

"Would you like something to drink?" She asked hesitantly avoiding his gaze.

He didn't answer but continued to stare intently at her. She could practically feel her cheeks heating up. He stepped closer and his hand traced her jaw line. She closed her eyes amazed at how the light touch could affect her so much. However, opening her eyes she found him gone, traces of sand where he once stood.

And now you're back inside my house again
I'm trying deeply to explain
'Cause baby, I wanna get it on
And baby, you're the one for me

She hadn't seen him for a while. Looking out of the window the weather reflected how she felt. A dark grey sky blocked most of the light from the sun and rain came pouring down. Staring down at the damping mug in front of her she sighed. She missed him.

However she was jerked out of her thoughts by a sudden sound. Turning she saw him standing there looking at one of her pictures which had fallen over. She smiled.

"Sorry."

Though she wasn't entirely sure what he was sorry for she only knew one response that would be sufficient. "It's ok."

His hair was dripping wet and he was completely soaked, but there he stood, giving off the air of authority possibly even more than ever, in her apartment.

Why was he here? Not that she minded… "You should change before you catch a cold." Reddening slightly at the thought of him without his clothes she turned towards the window again, pretending she saw something of interest out there.

"I didn't take anything with me." He had come to stand next to her and was almost breathing down her neck. She could feel a drop of water landing on her neck and sliding down until it was stopped by a finger tracing its path back up. She shivered.

"I'll go get you a towel then." Hastily she retreated into the bathroom, feeling his eyes follow her.

And now that I have got you all alone
After all this talking on the phone
I should be strong
There's nothing wrong
I'll tell you this is where you belong

She stood in the bathroom staring at her reflection. Frowning she looked herself over. She wasn't particularly pretty and she didn't have a body like Ino's. Her skin was rather pale and her rosy pink hair looked as unnatural as always. Who in the world, besides her, had pink hair?

It wasn't like he couldn't do better than her; he had loads of fan girls to choose from.

'Yet he is standing in my apartment, not theirs…'

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if I
Didn't tell you this tonight

Grabbing the towel she turned to look in the mirror once more and attempted to fix her hair up a bit. Maybe he does feel the same way. 'Should I risk it?'

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if I
Didn't tell you this tonight

She leaned her head against the bathroom door and inhaled deeply. Gathering her courage she opened the door, half expecting him to have gone away again.

But he was still there.

There was just something in your eyes
That made me realize
Now I hear voices deep inside
Telling me, telling me it's you and I

Her breath caught in her throat as he looked at her again with that strange expression. His eyes captivated her and made her heart skip a beat. She couldn't find the right word to describe it. It seemed to be a mixture of confusion and longing, with a dash of raw passion and some other foreign emotion…

He moved towards her like a predator towards his prey. His eyes never leaving hers she suddenly found him right in front of her. His lips crashed onto hers in a fierce kiss. Moaning she kissed him back just as passionately her arms around him pressing him closer to her.

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if I
Didn't tell you this tonight

As the two of them paused to catch their breath his eyes once again mesmerized her. She smiled and placed a kiss on the kanji on his forehead.

His eyes widened slightly as he tightened his hold on her.

'It's now or never.' She buried her face in the crook of his neck. "I love you." Silence followed and she didn't dare to look up afraid of what she would find, or more of what she wouldn't find. 'What if I was mistaken?'

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me
Don't wanna need you when you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right if I
Didn't tell you this tonight

He hadn't pushed her away. He was still holding her. 'Does that mean…?' His hands were rubbing her back in circular motions. He started kiss her neck moving slowly to her now exposed shoulder.

Then he stopped. "Sakura…" He tilted her chin up so that she had to face him. "I love you too."

Tears formed in her eyes but he kissed them away. Once again locking his lips with hers she vaguely felt herself being lifted and carried to her bedroom. But she couldn't care less. He demanded her full attention and she was more than willing to oblige.
