Update! Yays! Wow, and only a day after the last...

Disclaimer: Oh, you so wish...because this would be happening...

Gaara sat in the uncomfortable folding chair of the waiting room. It had been an hour since Sakura had been beaten up by Sasuke, and she was admitted into the hospital. So far she was still sedated and asleep, but Gaara knew that wasn't what was worrying him. It was the fact that she was hurt, and yet she still thought it important to say what she did.

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

"Sakura!"

Gaara looked up to see Hinata and Naruto rushing into the room, Hinata flushed and gasping for breath.

"Where is she? What happened?"

"She's in the ER. Sasuke beat her pretty bad tonight."

"Sasuke was beating her?"

"Yeah. She tried to hide it, but I knew her, and she can't hide anything from me for long. She'd stopped hanging out with us because Sasuke told her to. He was always the jealous type, and now she's hurt."

"What happened to Sasuke-teme?"

"I punched him in the jaw, and again in the nose."

"Ouch."

Gaara got up as the doctor walked in. She whispered in his ear.

"Is it okay to see her?"

"Only one at a time."

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Gaara walked into her room, where he saw her in a hospital gown, breathing mask over her nose and mouth. She looked so pathetic lying there, it began to break his heart. He walked up next to her, and stroked her hair, as if he was comforting her through his touch.

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

He couldn't handle it anymore. He bagan to sob. His tears fell on her face, cutting clean streaks in the blood on her cheeks, and getting soaked up by her bandages.

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

"Saki-chan...I love you too. believe me, though, he won't hurt you again."He kissed her on the cheek.

"I promise..."

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

"Gaara?"

"Sakura?"

He backed away as she sat up in bed.

"Gaara? Is that you?"

"Yes...are you okay?"

"I feel sore, but I think I'll be okay."

"He fractured your forearms, almost broke your neck, and cracked your skull." He sat down next to her. "I should have been there to help you."

He felt a soft hand wipe away a tear, and looked up to see her reaching to him. "Gaara, if you hadn't come when you did, I'd be dead right now. You came and helped, and I owe you my life for that." She kissed him full on the lips, and then broke away. "It made me love you, and seeing you here with me makes me love you more."

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

"I love you, Gaara."

"I love you too, Sakura."

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

They sat together all night, just them together and in love. If they'd been separated at that moment, then whoever did it would be bleeding quietly to death right now. It felt to them like the words of love and encouragement they gave to one another made the distant gorge Sasuke had carved between them shrink and disappear.

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

"When will you be graduating from med school?"

"Two more years."

"Heh, then that's when we'll get married.' Gaara got on one knee. In his hand, he held a ring. as Sakura looked at him, tears began streaming from her eyes.

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

"Will you marry me?"

I'm officially in love with this song now...
