~A/N~ Lately I've been getting some crap because I'm not following what other people deem as good quality for my story. Apparently having Gaara to show emotions is showing too much emotion and Sakura reflecting on how she had messed up means she was depressed instead of trying to work out her problems. I'll put as many song in this story as I want, if I want I'll turn it into a musical if I so choose. Why? Because its my fanfic I'm writing it and if you have nothing nice to say then don't read it. I do this for my enjoyment no one else's so I don't really care if its loved or hated.

Now to those lovely reviewers who have given me such lovely reviews and have stuck with this story for so long I love you guys and appreciate your reviews and enthusiasm for my story. So to you awesome readers this one is for you!

Sakura's P.O.V

I hummed as I skipped down the halls of the hospital ignoring the weird looks I was getting from the staff. It was my first day back and I was so excited I could sing. Thinking of singing made me remember Gaara's compliment on my voice no one had told me that I had beautiful except for my parents but I always thought they were biased. Which reminded me I needed to write home to them I'm sure they were worried.

I shook my head as I walked into the first exam room to deal with my first patient of the day. I looked down at my clipboard and blinked in confusion. It was blank well that was odd.

"It seems my subordinates forgot to fill out your medical chart. So what seems to be the problem today?" I asked cheerfully looking up and froze.

"Well it could be because I missed my favorite student or could be because some people don't know how to protect what's dear to me." A familiar voice listed off.

"Tsunade! But the meeting.. and your early!" I rambled on surprised.

She smirked, "The old buzzards can wait til I'm good and ready they know better then to drag someone who's tired into a meeting unless its urgent." Her face sobered up as she looked at me, "I'm early to check on you I heard what happened and the tail spin you went into. Sakura, never turn to drinking like i…"

I raised my hand and stopped her, "I'm fine." At her suspicious look I continued, "Honestly I am. I wasn't at first and admit I went about handling my problems all the wrong ways, and I was mad as hell when Gaara made me leave work. I had all these amazingly awful plans at how to get back at Gaara for taking me away from the one thing I had to distract me and then my girls showed up and helped me find me again. I realize I mad mistake's upon mistake's but there's nothing I can do to fix it now. All I can really do is move forward and not let those mistake's drown me."

Tsunade smiled broadly, "That's my girl. You've grown so much, but never forget your human and allowed to make mistakes."

"I know. Thank you for worrying." I pinned her with a glare, "Now you should got get something to eat, rest and let me treat my patients. Gaara wants me at the meeting as well, he's taking a page out of your book and telling the elders where they can shove their plans about him getting married."

She gave a boisterous laugh, "This I gotta see." She disappeared in swirling leaves.

I shook my head moving on to my next patient smiling for the rest of my shift. The next few hours were filled with broken bone's (mostly from kids trying to play ninja's who had no training), several stab wounds (from ninja's returning from mission's), and several young villager men faking injuries to see me and ask me on a date or for marriage. Those one's got sent on their way with strong reprimands about wasting my time when people who were truly sick needed my aid.

I glanced at my watch and smiled finished just in time to take my lunch break and let temari take my place til after the meeting.

Gaara's P.O.V

I could fill the tension in the room and I had a pretty good idea why. My new "Apprentice" was sitting by one of the elder's which I had come to the conclusion was her father and was staring at me like I was lunch. I kept my face blank even though she made my skin crawl and Shukaku was laughing himself to death in my head.

'The great and mighty Gaara scared of a girl.'

'She's like a damn leech. No matter where I go she tries to stay glued to me claiming its for learning purpose's. Half tempted to just ask Sakura to punch her out of the village.'

'Now that would be a sight to see, But all her fakeness might make the poor girl sick if she touched her!'

'fine do you want to deal with her?'

My head went silent, 'I'll take that as a no.'

I glanced up as the door opened and in walked Sakura, Tsunade, and Shizune. Tsunade looked angry and mildly pleased all at the same time which was a frightening combination. Sakura was glowing so I could only guess her first day back went well.

The elder's shifted uncomfortably at the new people in the room even though they knew Tsunade was coming.

"Kazekage I do not see why the medic needs to be present. Doesn't she have a job that she should be attending to." Kanzo asked giving Sakura a disdainful look. (~A/N~ don't know if the elders have names so I'm making some up as I go.)

Before I could respond Sakura beat me to it, "With all due respect don't talk about it like I'm not here and furthermore," She cracked her knuckle and a few elders scooted away from her, "I'm here to discuss matters of the hospital. I can be away from said hospital because you have a very talent staff that just lacked training which I have now given them."

Kanzo opened his mouth to fire back but I cut him off, "If that is all I would like to get this meeting underway. I have things that need my attention and I will be less then pleased if my plans for this evening get ruined."

With some grumbling they got on topic.

"Kazekage it has not escaped our attention that you have to find a wife and at your age you should really be settling down and thinking about kids. That is why…"

I cut Kanzo off, "Let me guess that is why you volunteered your daughter to be my so called apprentice to get close to me and try to seduce me?"

"She is of fine breeding and perfect for being…"

I let Shukaku have a little freedom but still kept control I knew buy the startled looks I was getting my eyes were yellow, "You make it sound like she's a damn animal meant for breeding." I growled when he opened his mouth and he shut it quick I watched in mild detachment as Suki cowered at his side.

"I'm not interested no have I ever been interested in you damn wants about me settling down. I will settle down when it suits me and my wants not your's." I could see the looks of outrage on all of their face's as I stood, "And furthermore at my age I should be worried with running my country and protecting my people not producing offspring for you to brainwash. I am not now nor was I ever interested in Suki. I don't do desperate and nor do I have respect for someone who fake's a role just because her daddy told her too."

"Lord Kazekage please reconsider," Shiro pleaded.

"No. The only girl I'm interested in is the one I'm taking out to dinner tonight and if anything come's of it it will be because we choose so not because someone told us we had too. The next time this irrelevant topic is brought up at a council meeting that should be about our people's safety and our alliance's I will make an example of them do I make myself clear?"

They all nodded, "Good. Now that has been sorted let's move on to the matter that has brought the fifth Hokage here."

Sakura's P.O.V

I watched as Shukaku reseeded and watched Gaara's eye's return to a teal color as he retook his seat. I was still a bit in shock over Gaara's words. I knew he had seemed interested but to hear it out loud put a whole new meaning to it. I watched in a kinda detached fascination as the council and Tsunade argued about where Sasuke should be held.

Gaara glanced at me and we seemed to have an instant understanding as he spoke never taking his eyes off me.

"Maybe we should as the one he seeked to attack and kidnap what she thinks."

"She has no say because she obviously will side with her village." Kanzo snarled.

I clenched my fist this damn elder was really starting to piss me off.

"Hey you pile of decaying bones how about you shut up and listen to someone else speak instead of yourself!" Everyone's jaw dropped even Tsunade's. "Now that you shut up maybe you can remove what ever stick is in your anal canal that has you against my village and remember I came here of my own accord to train your medics, my long thought dead brother is the leader of the akatsuki who helped when Sasuke attacked, and Naruto is the one who helped Gaara after all the damage you idiots did to him by thinking he was nothing but a weapon! So if anyone should be hated it you elders for twisting everything and making it about you! You don't know crap about Sasuke therefore you could never hope to contain him and right now he will stop at nothing to kill me because I killed his child unknowing that a member of his team was pregnant!"

Kanzo opened his mouth, "NO! You will be silent!"I yelled at him. I took a deep breath, "he killed Matsuri and I am sorry that she died trying to stop him but he became this way because of the elder's in our village screwing everything up so it is only right our village fixes this messes it has created."

"You young lady have more spirit and wisdom beyond your years . your not willing to let politics sway your belief's or what you feel is right and wrong. I believe you are right and a lot of us have a lot to atone for. So therefore I agree that he should be returned to his village to do with as they see fit."

I bowed my head, "Thank you sir."

The only one who objected was Kanzo who was promptly ignored.

"Now Miss Sakura what medical wise needs to be addressed?" Shinra asked.

"We do not have enough tools, herbs, and I recommend starting to teach ever ninja some form or another of medical training so they will be better prepared for battle/ you lack enough medics right now to put one on every team and have enough here as well. I also recommend a green house so you can grow herbs that can't grow here because it would advance your medicine's greatly."

"Very well we shall discuss this and tell you are decision in a weeks time. if that is all I suggest we go our separate ways til everyone calms down."

I turned and walked out of the room before anything else could be said and headed back to the hospital. I had a job to do and I had a lot of thinking to do. Plus now knowing tonight was a date I needed the help of ino to pick out an outfit since I packed very little with me for my trip here.

~A/N~ there you go everyone my latest chapter I think my anger kinda reflected in the chapter but hey it fit's Sakura
