Author's Note: Okay, I've kept you waiting for far too long with my updates. I'm usually faster than this at updating, but I got sick….DAMNIT! So, let's find out what happens.

Ch. 12: Hide and Seek

"But only if you can find me!"

"Sakura! That's so wrong! Get your ass back here!"

"You have to find me, and don't turn on the lights!"

Gaara ran into the dark house and looked around. He could even see his hand in front of his face. (Ooh, it's really dark, I wonder whats going to happen." He saw a shadow move, but it was too late to run after it. He lost sight of Sakura again, until she snuck up behind him and poked his shoulder. He shot around, but didn't catch her.

"Come and find me." she whispered into his ear. Sakura turned around and shot up the stairs before Gaara had time to think. Sakura ran into Gaara's room and into his bathroom. She pulled her hair down from her ponytail and took off her clothes.

"Surprise Gaara."

Sakura looked herself over in the mirror and ran out of the room and watched as Gaara looked for her. She got behind him and followed him into his room, and when he stood in front of the bed and turn around, she pushed him back. She jumped on top of him and kissed him. When he ran his hands down her bare back, she shivered.

'So, she's naked. Surprise!'

Sakura finally broke the kiss and light a tiny candle. It let out enough light to illuminate her body and make her look like she was a glowing Goddess. (TeeHee!)

"You ready for your surprise?"

"I thought this was my surprise."

"Well, it's half of it, but here's the rest."

Sakura turned around and he saw a tattoo. It was his name and hers, written in Kanji symbols down the middle of her lower back. He ran is hand over the now healed tattoo. It was the nicest thing anybody had done for him. (Well, except for being loved and the sex (.)) When Sakura turned around, he had tears running down his face. He grabbed her waist and pulled he into a hug as he sat up. He buried his head in her hair, which still smelled like cherries.

"Why do you love me? You could have anybody in this whole city, but you chose me. Why?"

"Because, you're like me. You understand everything I feel. It's like we were meant to be together. I love you, and no matter what you do, that's not changing."

Sakura pulled his chin up and gave his a kiss. She pulled away and wiped away his tears before she gave him another kiss. This time though, he leaned into the kiss. After a few minutes they pulled away from each other and Sakura pulled his shirt off. She ran hers hands over his toned chest and down his stomach, until her hands setting on his pants. She undid them and he slipped them off, with his boxers. He flipped Sakura over, so that she was under him and kissed her neck. Her felt his way down her stomach to her thighs. He played with her clit as she moaned his name. (TeeHee! I know, I'm weird!) He finally quit torturing her and inserted two fingers in her opening. She arched her back as he moved in and out. When he thought she was wet enough, he positioned himself at her entrance and pushed in slowly. She let out a low moan and pulled him into a kiss. He was thrusting in and out, slowly, until Sakura started to match his movements. He started to thrust faster as she began to moan. She pulled him in for another kiss as her muscles clenched and retracted against him member. This drove Gaara over the end and he began to pound in and out of her. She still managed to clench around his member. After one final thrust, he spilled his seed as her body shook with a mind blowing orgasm! (At least someone's getting some…sigh. JK!) He collapsed on top of her and she wrapped her arms around him. After a few minutes, he rolled off to the side and pulled his still erect member out of her. She looked down and frowned.

"Looks like I didn't do my job."

"Huh? Wha…"

Gaara could finished because his breath hitched when she jumped on top of his member and began to ride him. After a minute, he met her thrust for thrust, until they both came, shouting each other's names into the empty house. Sakura collapsed on the bed and Gaara pulled her close to him.

'Jesus! The girl drives my senses insane! She doesn't even know what she does to me!'

"Gaara?"

"Yeah."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

He gave Sakura another kiss before she curled up next to him. All thoughts of putting clothes was forgotten as sleep claimed them. The next morning Sakura woke when Gaara's door opened. Itachi was sitting there staring at her.

"What are you staring at?"

Sakura looked down and realized that she naked. Her head shot up, looking for the cover. She grabbed it and pinned Itachi with an icy glare. Her voice was clam as she spoke.

"Out. Now."

Itachi ran out of the room and downstairs. Sakura got out of the bed and pulled some clothes out. Just as she was about to get dressed, she felt Gaara's hands wrap around her breasts. She could feel his erection poke her back. He reached out and locked the door before he pushed her up against the dresser. He entered her and she moaned. He knew that she wanted it because she was wet. He pounded in and out of her as she moaned. Downstairs, Kankuro was looking at the table shaking.

"What the hell are they doing up there?"

"I can take a good guess."

"I know what they're doing."

"How do you know what they're doing, Itachi?"

"I walked in the room and Sakura was lying there…um…uh…"

"Naked?"

"Yeah, that."

"OMG! Gaara's not a virgin anymore! This is the happiest day of my life!"

"Why is it the happiest day of our life Temari?"

"He's finally happy! You know he wouldn't have sex with a girl if he didn't love her."

"Good poi…."

Kankuro was interrupted when Sakura screamed. By the time Gaara had gotten done with her, she was up against the wall with her legs wrapped around him. Sakura was panting hard when she put her legs down and went to the shower. She turned on the hot water and Gaara got in with her. While Sakura washed her hair, he washed his body. By the time they were done taking a shower, the whole house smelled like Axe and cherries.

"Do you guys smell Axe and cherries?"

"Yeah. It actually smells nice together."

"I wonder why….they took a shower together."

"What are you talking about Itachi?"

"Gaara always uses Axe right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, Sakura always smells like cherries."

"What does that have to do….OMG!"

"What…oh, I get it. They took a shower together."

Just then, Gaara walked down the stairs wearing baggy black pants and a tight black shirt.

"Hey. Sakura said she'll be down in a minute."

"Someone's in a good mood."

"Cut the crap. I know you heard Sakura."

"Yeah, we did. So, is she good in bed?"

"You'll never know, Kankuro."

Kankuro sat down, pouting. Sakura finally finished putting on her makeup and walked downstairs. After she walked into the kitchen, everybody was looking at her. She made on black eye shadow and black eyeliner, with dark red lipstick and she was wearing a short black skirt that had three dark red dragons on it, a tight black tube top and fishnet top that both came 4 inches above her belly button, and a pair of dark red high heeled boots that came up to her knee.

"What?"

"Nothing. You look hotter!"

"Thanks Temari."

Sakura walked over to the sink and turned around to get a glass. Everybody looked at her tattoo.

"When did you get that tattoo Sakura?"

"Last week. You like it?"

"Yeah, what's it say?" (Itachi, Kankuro, and Temari don't know how to read Kanji in my fic.)

"It says: Gaara and Sakura."

"AWW! THAT'S SO SWEET!"

"See Gaara. I told you that you would find the right girl one day."

"Shut up Kankuro!"

"Hey Gaara, let's go."

"Where are you guys going?"

"To the mall, want to come?"

"I do!"

"Okay."

"No, I have to get back home."

"Okay, I'll see you later Itachi. You might want to wipe the drool off your chin first though."

"Huh? What?"

"I'm just joking, calm down."

Sakura gave him a hug and he left. Sakura turned back around.

"Okay, do you guys want to take my car?"

"Yeah! I really love that car Sakura."

"So do I."

"Okay, let's go."

They walked out and got in her car. Sakura put her Flyleaf CD in and Temari squealed. Sakura turned around to look at her.

"I love Flyleaf! They are one of my favorite bands!"

"Me too!"

Sakura sped down the street until they reached the mall. Temari took out her money and counted it.

"Temari, don't worry about it, I got this trip covered."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, and I have a surprise for you guys."

Sakura stopped and looked at everyone before she continued.

"I overhead you guys the first night I stayed with Gaara. You were talking about moving into a new house because you think yours sucks."

"Yeah, it's an old house and it's total crap. I've wanted to move out for years, but I can't afford it."

"Well, I want you guys to move in with me. You can sell the old house."

"THAT A GREAT IDEA!"

"Do you guys want to?"

"YES!" they all replied.

"I love your house Sakura. It's so cool and futuristic."

"Okay, I'm already having your things moved into your new room."

Sakura hooked her arm with Temari's and they walked ahead of the guys.

"She looks great in that outfit Gaara. You snagged a great girl."

"I didn't snag her, she snagged me."

"Either way, she's awesome. I never thought that I'd actually like your first girlfriend much, but I was wrong."

Sakura and Temari were putting on a show of shaking there asses when Sakura stopped dead in her tracks. Temari stopped beside her and looked at her. Sasuke, Kiba, and Shikamaru were standing just a few feet away from her. She shook her head and smiled at her friend.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

Sakura and Temari continued their little show while they laughed. Sasuke, Kiba, and Shikamaru looked at Sakura and their eyes nearly fell out of their heads. Sakura looked up and saw them looking at her and turned around to look at Gaara for a minute. (Really, it was just so they would see the tattoo.) Sakura turned back around and her eyes connected with Kiba's. She could see the pain in his eyes as he looked at her. He walked over to her and pulled her from Temari for a second.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah." He pulled her few feet away.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to do the things I did. I was afraid of what might happen to me if I didn't. I never meant to hurt you like I did."

"I know. I saw it in your eyes. You're a good person. You're only problem is that you hang around with the wrong people, who make your wrong decisions for you."

"I know. I'm so sorry."

Sakura gave him a hug because she knew he meant it. He returned the hug and pulled away.

"Just so you know, they gave up trying to hurt you."

"Good. I think if they hand actually succeeded, I might not be here now."

"I'm sorry."

He walked away from her and she walked back to Temari. She gave her a weird look.

"He was apologizing."

"For what?"

"Something he did."

"Okay…let's go."

Gaara and Kankuro had just caught up with them. Sakura and Temari started up again, passing the other guys before they finally entered Hot Topic. After they finished their shopping spree, they went back to their new house and got settled in.

Author's Notes: Okay, this took about an hour and a half to write. So, now that they live with Sakura, let's see what happens. Enjoy!
