…Frost. (who is a boy)

..Gaara

.Neji

Talking normal!

Gaara didn't want too. Really, but Sakura really wanted a spar to "warm her up". They fought at the training grounds and Sakura was winning. Hello? Gaara could have won, but he would have to kill her, and that's not a good idea. She started to pant from all the excessive training they had been doing. But when she exhaled, it was more frost…

…and that's why he was pinning the shivering girl to a tree. His knee between her knees so she could not run, but his arms pinned her wrists above her head to the tree. He leaned over her left shoulder and breathed into her ear, his hot breath on her cold skin made it seem like she was melting.

"G-Gaara?" her voice sounded scared, frightened really. He noticed how she shook when he did that. It…amused him? Yes, he liked seeing her scared, loved how she was so vulnerable. She could do nothing to stop him. He looked down at her ripped shirt, exposing what looked like three claw marks. Large ones too, about as long as his index finger. He had never seen any animal that could leave those marks and not take off the victim's arm while attacking.

"What are those marks?" He asked in her ear. She shivered.

"Those three s-scars? T-That's the mark K-Kabuto left on me." She tried to free her arms, but it was all vain. Gaara released her and took a step back.

"You should be inside resting. Not training." Before she could protest, sand engulfed them both and they were back in her room.

"Sakura, rest. Gaara, out." A very calm Neji spoke. Gaara nodded and walked out the door. Neji patted her shoulder and left as well.



This made Sakura furious.

Yeah! Do they think we can't take care of ourselves?!

I know! And Gaara, what's his problem?! Pinning me to a tree and all?!

What about the Hyuuga?

HUH?

Who the hell are you?

Frost, I suppose.

Well, Frost, what are you doing here? IN MY OUTTER'S HEAD?!

I was put here, young one. Now, about the Hyuuga…

Neji? What about him?

I sense jealousy is among his emotions.

Oooooh your right!

What? Gah, never mind. Why is everyone so protective? It's annoying!

They think of you as a Cherry Blossom, no thorns or poison to protect yourself with.

So?

Show them your thorns, Cherry.

Neji closed the door behind him. He looked up at Gaara with the Byakugan activated. Gaara looked everywhere but at Neji.

"What where you doing to her? Trying to rape her, or kill her?! Where you even thinking about her safety?!" Neji spoke in a harsh whisper.

"Hn. I was not doing anything. I was asking her about those marks she has. I did not want her to move, so I immobilized her with something other than poison." Gaara turned his back and walked off. Neji followed him angrily.

"Good…the fools are gone. Now, my little Tiger holder, I'm back." A sinister voice said from the shadows, looking hungrily at Sakura's door.



Sakura tensed. Something wasn't right…

Well, Cherry, you'd better move. Fast.

She didn't argue and ran to the door, then stopped. If something really WAS wrong, she was going to stop it.

Okay, I know it's short. Forgive me masters! I need 13 review and I'll make the next chapter TWICE as long and I'll throw in a little Sasuke X Sakura and Neji X Sakura for you!! You have the power to push the button, use it often!

No preview could be thought of. "
