Sakura's hand throbbed. How dare he think she would just let him kiss her like that!

Gaara's face shifted between shock, anger and entertainment in an instant. She could see him! Though, there was no light in his sand so how had she done it? No. She had thought he had done it. He had had to test her and for some reason this was the way he had decided to do it. He had tried to get close to her. He wouldn't have really kissed her. Right?

Gaara's face was turning hot from the handprint that remained. She had connected with his face, how had she moved so fast? Even though, they were in his sand, it still should have protected him. Was she faster than Rock Lee? The leaf ninja that used taijutsu to create such intense speed? No. This was different.

"I was testing you."

Sakura sneered, "thought you would take someone to dinner first. Not such a gentleman now. I want out, now." Testing her? Really? So your first response was to kiss her? That wouldn't help prove if she could SEE, that would prove if she could FEEL. And she could. Her lips tingled at the almost connection. She wanted out of this sand coffin.

Gaara ignored her, "Have you been training with Rock lee?"

"No. Are we done now?"

"Don't you find it strange you can see in pitch black?"

Sakura watched him lean his back against the wall of sand around them he had created. "You can see in the dark. So why can't I?" She ducked on her cheek. That was childish, but she was irritated and hot now. He body was burning up in this tight space.

Gaara paused. He didn't like giving out sensitive information, but he needed her to feel comfortable in answering his next question, "I was gifted Shukaku's eyes. Did Jogi Hiko gift you anything?"

"Maybe you didn't hear me. I want out."

"No need to repeat, I ignored you the first time."

"Let me out."

"Make me. "

Sakura grinned from ear to ear. The look in her eye went crazy. That was permission. That was permission from a Kazekage.

"Since you want to get up close and personal." Sakura closed the space between them. Stroking the front of his pants. Feeling the bulge she payed personal attention to make it start to grow. She licked her lips slowly watching his eyes follow her movements.

"This isn't going to make me want to let you leave," Gaara breathed out. Closing his eyes. Enjoying the pleasure that rippled through his body. This is not how he expected this to go.

"No, but this will." Sakura gripped his goods and squeezed tight with a death grip. Gaara's eyes sliced through the darkness as pain shot through him. Dropping all the sand around them. "See how well that worked? I didn't even have to say pretty please." She battered her eyelashes at him. Wiiittttchhhh.

She squeezed a little tighter to extract growl from Gaara then She let go of his private areas and sashayed to the door. "Remember you gave me permission and this is our little secret." She winked,"Almost forgot bye Larry," she blew a kiss at the lone cactus and closed the door.

Gaara had stayed frozen. Is my dick broken? He considered that thr pain was so strong he couldn't move. Maybe it was. If he hadn't been through multiple assassination attempts and torture he would have cried out as soon as she had gripped him.

Next time he needed to release her when she said it the first time.

He had a lot to digest from their conversation. She was holding something back. She wasn't telling him something. Why could her eyes suddenly see in the dark and swing so fast his sand couldn't match its speed? Was Sakura Jogi Hiko's Jinchūriki? A human that has a tailed beasts sealed within them? No.

There has to be a seal for that. Gaara paused. The marking on her thigh! He had to see her naked again. He needed to see if the marking on her thigh was a seal!

The pain had subdued so Gaara waddled over to Larry. "How am I going to get her naked after I tried to kiss her and she hit me?"

Kankuro. Kankuro would be able to assist him. He was great with his rejections and rebounds. This would be something he could bring up tomorrow. For now he would rest and recover his damages.

The next morning Gaara stood in Kankuro's room. He needed this information. Gaara hadn't slept very well. Standing over Kankuro's bed he watched as his brother snored loudly.

"Kankuro."

The snoring persisted.

"Kankuro!"

A loud snore ripped out of his mouth in response.

"KANKURO!"

"SHE DIDNT TELL ME SHE WAS MARRIED TO A SASQUATCH!" Kankuro sat straight up in his bed panting. Frantically looking around. "Gaara?" His voice was coated in the need for more sleep.

"I need your assistance."

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes. I need to see a girl naked."

"Let me get this right, you woke me up an hour early because you need to see a girl naked?" Kankuro was awake now. Gaara, wanting to see a girl naked? Kankuro knew about his disguised escapades, but this was different. He had never asked for help. He must think I'm that good then, Kankuro grinned.

"It's for research."

"Research you say! You came to the right place little bro! We can go over some situations to make this babe fall head over hells for you!" Kankuro was out of bed and pulling on his pants. "Time to get the day started!"

Gaara felt a wave of unfortunate drift over him. Was he making the right choice here? Maybe he should have talked to Temari instead.
