Chapter 1
Sakura walked to the café, where she said she would meet Hinata and Ino for lunch, she had just gotten back from and A Rank mission with her squad. Neji had gone with her since he was the captain of her squad and they had completed the mission successfully.
Sakura yawned as she traveled down the busy streets of Konoha; she wasn't even paying attention until she ran straight into some, "I am so sorry" Sakura said bowing and looking up. "Kazekage-sama?" Sakura said in confusion as she stood straight and looked at Gaara, "what are you doing here?" Sakura asked, curiously looking at him.
'Oh my fucking gosh, he got HOTTER!' Inner Sakura drooled; Sakura twitched at her inner self, "something wrong?" Gaara's strong voice interrupted her thoughts. 'And a hot voice to match!' Inner Sakura fell over fanning herself, "um…no, sorry I just got back from a mission I'm a little…you know" Sakura smiled hating how stupid she sounded right now.
"Oh," he said looking away, 'why does she keep starring at me' Gaara twitched, 'because she's talking to you, moron, that's what you do when you talk to people…you look at them' Shukaku sighed at his containers retardism. 'But speaking of her, she got some curves now, I'd like to take a ride on her' Shukaku smirked; a shiver went up Gaara's spine 'you are disgusting' Gaara sighed and looked at Sakura again.
"So," Gaara began, "how was your mission?" he asked completely new to this conversation thing, he was used to Naruto just going on and on…and on with his talking about how much he loved Hinata and how much he wanted himself (Gaara) to go out with some and get married. "Well, it was a success, of course Neji-san got a wound so I had to heal it, but nothing to bad I guess" Sakura said nervously, Gaara nodded "that's good" Gaara said back to her.
"Well, I have to go meet Hinata and Ino at the café…so I guess I'll see you around" Sakura blushed, 'why they hell am I acting this way?' she asked herself, Gaara nodded and walked past her. He looked back at her out of the corner of his eye, "hey Gaara!" an obnoxious voice came; Gaara looked forward to be met with Naruto.
"Hi," Gaara replied back with a small smile, "I saw you talking to Sakura," Naruto raised his eyebrows smirking, "are you two going out?" Naruto teased, Gaara glared at him. "I would never go out with her, she's annoying and weak" Gaara lied crossing his arms, Naruto was wide eyed and shook, "what's wrong now Naruto?" Gaara asked lazily.
Naruto slowly pointed behind him, Gaara's posture slumped a bit, "she's right behind me, isn't she?" Gaara sighed, Naruto nodded and gulped "see ya Gaara!" he yelled as he ran off. Gaara turned around to be faced with a very angry Sakura. Gaara just stood there looking at her, 'shit, Shit, SHIT!' he yelled in his head, he looked at her and noticed she was trying to not laugh; Gaara twitched "NARUTO!" Gaara said angrily and punch 'Sakura', as 'she' hit the ground it poofed back into Naruto.
Naruto lay on the ground laughing hard, Gaara twitched again "Naruto that was not funny at all" Gaara glared picking him up by the collar of his shirt "I'm going to give you three seconds to run" Gaara smirked. Naruto continued laughing "man you were so scared!" Gaara twitched again "3, 2…" Gaara began; Naruto went wide eyed and began running for his life.

Sakura walked up to the café and smiled 'finally' she sighed, a gust of wide blew by her and she looked and saw a blur of orange, she blinked and heard a voice from the other direction. She turned and saw Gaara running towards her, "come back Naruto" he said evilly as he sent his sand ahead of him, "hi Gaara" Sakura waved as he ran past her, "hey" he replied and continued with the hunt.
Sakura laughed "I wonder what Naruto did" Sakura smiled and walked in to see Ino and Hinata at a table waving to her. Sakura came and sat with them "hey guys how are you?" Sakura asked them, Hinata smiled back "I'm fine" Sakura was glad Hinata got over her stuttering; now she only stuttered when she was really nervous. "How was the mission?" Ino asked sipping her water, Sakura sighed "it was ok, but I missed being home" they both laughed lightly.
"Hey guys did you know Gaara was here?" Sakura asked after ordering herself an iced tea, Hinata nodded "yea he got here just yesterday, he's here for Naruto's birthday" Sakura nodded, "I see now," Sakura smiled. Ino looked at her "why?" Sakura blushed "no reason, but he has gotten uber hot" Sakura blushed more, Ino went wide eyed "since when have you liked Gaara?" Ino asked in surprise.
Hinata looked at Ino, "wait you didn't know?" she questioned Ino, Hinata smiled "Oh my god, wow" Hinata laughed, Ino growled "well since when?" she asked again. "Hold on," Hinata laughed again, "I know something before you, just give me some time to soak in this moment" Sakura laughed at her friends.
Hinata laughed again "ok I'm done, Sakura's liked Gaara since her last visit to Suna, about a month ago right?" Hinata asked if she was wrong. Sakura nodded "yea" Sakura was beat red, "thanks for telling me" Ino said sarcastically, Hinata and Sakura laughed together at the steaming Ino.
"SAKURA!" a man yelled as he ran into the café, Sakura twitched "don't tell me…it's him, isn't it" Sakura asked them not turning around, they nodded "yup it's Gakkuri" they said in unison. "Sakura, my darling you have returned" he said from right behind her, Sakura shiver "oh dear lord" she whispered, she stood up quickly "oh my god look at that" she pointed in a random direction, he looked over there "Sakura there's nothi-Sakura! Where'd you go?!"
Sakura ran down the street, "Sakura come back!" Gakkuri called from behind her, "oh, god, oh, god" Sakura panicked and ran into the park. Gaara looked around "come on out Naruto I know you're here" Gaara said evilly, as if on queue someone ran into him, Sakura looked at him as she rubbed her head "Gaara you have to help me, please" Sakura begged him.
Gaara looked at her, "please there's this guy named Gakkuri and he's crazy about me and won't leave me alone and I've tried everything" Sakura begged. Gaara looked at her "ok, what do I have to do?" he asked, "Sakura!" a voice was heard coming nearer. Sakura was silent thinking for a moment, Gaara grew irritated and saw her obvious panic, and he sighed and grabbed her holding her close and his face inches away from hers.
"What are you doing?" she whispered, "just be quiet and pretend that I'm kissing you, my back is to him so it will look like we are" he said sternly. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck, his cheeks slightly turned red, "what are you doing?" he asked the same question she had just asked. "Making it more natural looking" Sakura lied, blushing madly, good thing she could only see his eyes and same for him.
"Sakura!" Gakkuri called as he rounded the corner, "S…Sakura?" he said looking at the two in horror, "Sakura! NO!" he yelled and ran off, 'Kiss him, kiss him, KISS HIM!' Inner Sakura yelled like a mad woman. 'No, I'm not just going to kiss him' Sakura argued back, she came back to reality by Gaara's voice "huh?" Sakura said apparent to her daze off.
"You can let go of me now," he smirked, Sakura blushed "oh I'm sorry," Sakura quickly released him, "well thanks Gaara, I guess I'll see you around" Sakura smiled and waved as she headed back to the café. Gaara smirked as he crossed his arms and watched her walked off, 'you should have kissed her' Shukaku said lazily, 'shut it' Gaara commanded, 'she doesn't see me that way, we're only friends' Gaara said to the demon inside him.
'Yea, sure why did I get stuck inside a complete idiot?' Shukaku asked himself, Gaara twitched at the dumb raccoon 'you're lucky I can't kill you', 'oooo I'm trembling with fear' Shukaku said sarcastically. Gaara looked beside him as he felt Naruto lean on his shoulder, "I think you two should go out" he said looking at his friend. "Just so you know Naruto I haven't forgotten I'm trying to kill you" Gaara smirked, Naruto gulped "really now, well see you can't cause well, I am the next Hokage!" Naruto cheered shooting his hand in the air.
Gaara laughed, "sure Naruto, you keep telling yourself that, well I'm tired of being here so lets go back to your house" Gaara sighed still looking at the spot he last saw Sakura. "I'm telling you man, she digs you, and you're just stupid" Naruto yawned and started walking, Gaara twitched 'why is everyone calling me that?!' he asked himself angrily, "Naruto…" Gaara seethed.
Naruto gulped, "I should run shouldn't I?" Naruto asked knowing the answer, "oh yeah" Gaara smirked sending his sand after the running fox.
