Temari P.O.V.

I had kept watch on Sakura all night it was almost one in the afternoon and she still hadn't woke up. I was worried, so was Kankuro, and even thought Gaara didn't say anything I knew he was worried. How I knew was that he was more silent and moody then usual and he actually threw a knife at Kankuro for telling him to get the stick out of his ass.

I watched her and wondered what would happen when Tsunade got here. Gaara had called her after Sakura had passed out. I had heard yelling on the phone in my room and I was three rooms down from his.

She was screaming at him that she was coming to see her apprentice slash adopted daughter. When he told her it really wasn't necessary she when super bitch on his ass and told him that if he tried to stop her Suna would be looking for a new Kazekage. He shut up after that and told her he would be awaiting her arrival. Then she had gone on to say that she was bringing some of Sakura's friends with her, and that Kakashi was going to stay and look out for her baby.

It wasn't that she didn't trust me it was just that Sakura was the daughter she had always wanted but never had. She knew that when someone went after someone I cared about that they had better have their Will ready.

I sighed if this little pink haired kunoichi didn't wake up soon shit was gonna hit the fan. The door slammed open and there stood Kankuro looking severely freaked out and pissed off.

"Kankuro, what's wrong?"

"Gaara ordered me to come here and tell you we need to get Sakura to his office right now. Even if she's unconscious. Sasuke's been spotted heading towards here and we found where all that blood came from."

"Where?" I whispered afraid to know.

"Matsuri."

"Oh god no!" I started crying. "Why did he kill her?"

"We found a letter wadded up in her hand addressed to Gaara. It said that she found out that he had bribed two of the guards to get in the gates and come after Sakura. And she said there's was no way in hell that scum sucking son of a bitch was gonna hurt her if she had anything to say about. She also said a friend of ours was a friend of hers and that she would protect them with her life."

"Matsuri, you stubborn ass girl. She should have told someone what she was doing instead of trying to take it on all by herself."

"She also wrote that she loved Gaara and he'd better be nice to sakura and protect her or her ghost would haunt him for all eternity. Gaara didn't like the ghost part and he said he knew she loved him but that she deserved better than him."

"Wow. Matsuri sure went from the timid girl we all know and love to some wildcat ready to take on the world. But I think a certain pink haired kunoichi is gonna turn our little brother's world upside down."

"Maybe. It would be a sight to see. I would love to see Gaara blush in embarrassment."

"Yeah. But we need to get moving now. Go to her room and grab those two stuffed animals, that jewelry box, her pictures, and some clothes. And no being perverted we need to get moving fast."

"That's the last thing on my mind I want to protect her too."

He ran out of the room and came back just as fast with her stuff and one of his puppets.

"What the fuck is that for?" Temari asked agitated.

He opened it and put Sakura inside it after putting a blanket and pillow in there to make it comfy. He put her stuff in her lap attached a note to the inside of the puppet and put a flashlight in it so that everything was visible, and shut it. He wrapped it back up and put it on his back.

"No one will think to look in there. The note is explaining to her that we're trying to get her to Gaara without anyone noticing especially Sasuke. I planned it on the way here."

"Your smarter then I give you credit for. Now let's leave."

They took off out of the house and ran to the Kazekage tower and into his office without saying hi to anyone. The moment he opened the puppet Sakura punched Kankuro into a wall glaring daggers at him. She didn't see Gaara get up from his desk and go stand by his sister looking amused

"Next time you want to protect don't put me in a fucking puppet when I'm scared of tight places."

"I'm sorry it was the only thing I could think of on such short noticed."

"Next time don't think. Let Gaara come up with the plans since I have a pretty good Idea he wouldn't have stuck me in some tiny ass puppet that made me feel like I couldn't breathe."

"Did you just in some twisted way imply that my baby brother is smarter than me?"

Sakura's P.O.V

"Yeah, what's your point?" I said sitting on the couch in Gaara's office and started braiding my hair.

"That's not very nice."

I growled slightly, "I don't do nice much anymore. It normally blows up in my face."

Temari's eyes widened, "Sakura why...?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

I glared at Kankuro who open his mouth to speak, "And as for your brother being smarter then you why the hell do you think they made him Kazekage? I'm sure a bunch of old geezers aren't going to be worried about how their leader looks if they did I'd be kinda worried. No they wanted someone strong and smart enough to do what's right for their people without let their emotions get in then the way. That's why I'm worried about Naruto wanted to be Hokage he lets his emotions get the best of him. And that basterd Sasuke almost killed him. When I saw Naruto covered in blood I lost It And beat the shit out of Sasuke on sight. This was a few months ago..."

Temari and Kankuro's jaws hit the floor at the same time and I smirked. I put a rubber band in my hair keeping the braid from coming undone.

Temari recovered first, "Sakura, we have some bad news."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm always getting bad news. So just tell me."

"All that blood in your room. It was Matsuri's. She found out Sauske had bribed two of the guards to get in and come after you. She tried to stop him and he killed her. And this note was in her hand when we found her body."

She handed it to me and as I read it tears started rolling down my face.

"Oh my god." I stood up so fast Temari backed up a couple of steps.

"Sakura what's wrong?" She asked watching me closely.

"This is all my fault! She never did anything to deserve this! She was so sweet. I have to leave now before someone else gets hurt because of me."

I headed towards the door when a wall of sand shot out blocking the door. I spun Around and saw Gaara glaring at me. And I cringed when I saw his eyes. He had one yellow one and one sea green eye.

My inner self screamed, 'Oh shit we're about to get yelled at by Gaara and Shukaku combined this can't be good.'

'Naw ya think.' I said in a no shit sherlock voice.

I focused on Gaara who was glaring daggers at me, "Let me leave. I don't want you, your family, or your people to get hurt because of me. I'm not worth it I can take care of myself."

"You're not leaving." He said through clenched teeth.

"I have to! Everyone is in danger because of me!"

He growled, "Shut up!"

I froze so did Temari and Kankuro. "I will not shut up." I was losing my temper.

"Get over yourself and quit having a pity party. Grow up. You're stronger than that."

I winced that had come from Shukaku not Gaara but it still stung like he had slapped me.

"SHUT UP! You know nothing of how I feel damn you! I loved that basterd once! And then when I realized I meant nothing to him all he wanted was power. I broke into a million fucking pieces. My friends were the ones who picked up the pieces and put me back together. But I was never the same again. I was hell bent on getting stronger so I could bring home and make sure I beat the shit out of him and put him so deep in the jail he would never see the light of day again! That's why I went Tsnade! Not only can I heal people now I can use the same process to kill them. But when I saw him again and he told me the only reason he wanted me now was to rebuild his clan. He wanted to use my own feelings against me. And I lost it completely that time."

"Lost it how?" It was asked calmly but I could see the anger in Gaara's eyes. Temari looked like she was gonna cry and wanted to hug me. And Kankuro had a murderous look in his eyes that said if he ever saw Sasuke there was gonna be a blood bath.

"I gave up on my dreams of having a family. I just couldn't bear to fall in love and then get treated like this again. I almost killed myself the first time around but Naruto found me and got me to Tsunade before I had lost enough blood to do any serious damage to myself."

His eyes were back to green but I saw flashes of yellow every now and again. "You slit your writs."

It wasn't a question it was a statement. I nodded, "Then when I thought I had everything under control he showed up again. And then I just lost it. I made a promise to myself to never let myself be put through that again. I've given up on ever having a family and being with someone who wants me for me not for his sick twisted reason."

Temari ran and wrapped her arms around me at this point, "Sakura I'm so sorry. And don't give up I'm sure there's someone out there for you somewhere. They say that there's someone out there for everyone."

"I doubt that." I looked at Gaara, "Can I leave now?"

"No." He went back to his desk and started working on some paper work.

I threw my hands up in the air in anger, "Let me leave."

"No."

"Why the hell not?"

"Tsunade will be here in two days and I'd rather not make her mad at me because of your stupidity." He looked at me and glared, "If you were to run off Sasuke would no doubt find you and use you then kill you. I will not allow it that to happen. For one it would kill Naruto, Tsunade would try to kill me, and..." he glared at me when I opened my mouth to speak, "I know you are terrified of me from when I tried to kill but I want us to try to be friends for the sake of Naruto."

I nodded, "You told her about Sasuke didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Great."

"What's wrong?"

"She's gonna be a royal bitch. Scratch that super bitch. When he hurt Naruto She was ready to take off on her own and kill the basterd because he's like her son. This is gonna be a living nightmare."

He winced, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be you did what you thought was right. Why did you have me brought here? And I still have to get revenge on Kankuro for his method of getting me here."

Kankuro backed away slowly and Gaara rolled his eyes. "Because Sasuke was seen heading towards my house."

I sat down on the floor rather hard and barely noticed when his sand wrapped around me gently like a protective barrier. He kept it loose enough so I could move and kept from my shoulders up out of the sand.

"In Kankuro's note it just said it was urgent and they needed to get me here fast as possible. I was worried something had happened to you that's why I didn't break out of the puppet before we got here."

I didn't see his eyes widen at what I said or see Temari and Kankuro Smirk.

"I'm fine, but you need to rest." he picked me up with his sand and laid me on the couch in his office, and Temari covered me with a blanket.

I closed my eyes and was a sleep almost instantly.

Gaara P.O.V

Temari and Kankuro sat down in the chairs in his room and dozed off. It had been a hard day on all of them. I went back to his paperwork I was so buried in my work I barely heard the soft whimper. I glanced up and saw Sakura tossing and turning on the couch.

"No don't hurt him."

My eyes widened.

"Please don't. It's me your after. Leave them alone."

I hated the tortured sound of her voice. I stood up and walked over to her. The moment I reached her she screamed and almost woke my siblings.

"Gaara! Naruto! Run away! I can handle this! Just get the hell out of here!"

My eyes widened. In her dream she was fighting Sasuke and feared for mine and Naruto's life.

I grabbed her and shook her hard, "Sakura, wake up!"

Her eyes opened and met mine, "Gaara?"

"You were having a nightmare."

"I'm scared of what he will do."

I sat down beside her and she crawled into my lap like a terrified little child.

I wrapped my arms around her, "He won't hurt you ever again or those you care about. Now rest I'll be right here."

She nodded and slowly drifted off to sleep again. I heard laughing in mind head and growled.

'What do you want Shukaku?'

'You like her."

'I do not.'

'Do too.'

'Shut up!'

I heard him laughing as I fell asleep.

-A/N- Hope you guys like it. Review. I want to know what everyone thinks. I hope you guys like it that I gave Shukaku a calm side. Tell me what you think. Be honest. Please and thank you.
