Part three Chapter three

(After this, One chapter to go)

Sakura and Gaara spent the entire day together, out of the house, only going back for lunch and dinner. After dinner Gaara and Sakura were about to leave when Temari stopped them.

"Hold on Gaara, I want to talk to Sakura for a minute." Gaara looked at Sakura, she nodded, he smiled and left. Temari waited until everyone had left for their rooms before saying, "So he did it huh?" Sakura looked at Temari, confused, then she realized she was talking about the ring on her finger. Sakura smiled and nodded, Temari smiled and gave her a hug. "I'm happy for you, both of you." she said.

"Thank you Temari." Sakura smiled and left. Temari resumed cleaning up, smiling the whole time.

Sakura found Gaara waiting for her on the sofa, watching TV. Gaara looked over to see Sakura blushing, he understood, Temari knew. Gaara smiled, got up, and took Sakura back to the meadow, She guessed it was to see the sunset. She was right, Gaara came here a couple days ago to find a spot where they could see a beautiful sunset. This was more then what he was looking for. They sat by the Sakura tree, the sun was just above the tree line, when a soft wind blew through. The wind brought many leaves with it, they were green, brown, orange, and pink. To Sakura, it seemed as if it were raining leaves. The leaves and a couple flowers that blew in their direction slowly and softly fell to the ground.

"Its beautiful." Sakura said, Gaara smiled and kissed her, Sakura smiled and started to feel drowsy. Gaara noticed this and smiled, he would let her fall asleep.

Soon Sakura fell asleep, Gaara didn't notice until five minutes after, and by then she was sleeping soundly. He smiled, picked her up, and teleported. He was in front of his house, he would surely receive stares so he made the ring he gave Sakura visible. He went inside, and, just as he thought, received stares, some of them noticed the ring, Kankuro didn't even bother to turn around. Gaara took Sakura upstairs to his room, and put her in bed.

Two days later

Sakura woke up, she didn't want to. Today was the day they had to leave for Konoha. She sighed, and looked behind her, Gaara was still asleep. Smiling, she got up and went to take a shower. She got back into the bedroom to find Gaara still asleep, she thought, 'should I hit him with my pillow again?' She smiled took the pillow, thought about it, then slammed it down on Gaara's head.

"The hell woman!" Gaara yelled, then he thought it was going to be the same as a couple days ago. He was wrong, Sakura bent down, and kissed him. Gaara smiled and, holding onto her, fell back on the bed. Sakura blushed, smiled, and continued to kiss him, getting more fierce with every kiss. They finally stopped, and Gaara went to take a shower, Sakura waited for him.

Once again, breakfast was quiet, Sakura had gotten over the silence, she could finally handle it. Gaara finished quickly, faster then usual, so it was some time before Sakura could see what was bothering him, although she felt she already knew.

"Ano... Gaara?" Sakura called out his name, he looked over at her. They were in Gaara's room, Sakura was at the door and Gaara was face down on the bed. Sakura saw sadness in his eyes, she knew what was wrong. She went over to him, laid on the bed next to him and kissed him. He smiled, Sakura knew the smile was joyous but his eyes were filled with sadness, they held each other, as close as they could. Then, someone knocked on the door, "Sakura?" It was Neji, "Sakura, I need to talk to you." Sakura kissed Gaara, she knew this was good bye, Gaara kissed back.

She went out to see what Neji wanted, even though she already knew, her eyes filled up with tears. Neji saw these tears flowing freely when Sakura came out, he leaned over to her ear and whispered something.

She stood there shocked, she couldn't believe it. Sakura ran back to Gaara, tears flowing. What Gaara saw in those tears was not sadness, but the complete opposite. She was crying with joy. Gaara looked over at Neji, Neji told Gaara what was going on.

"I sent a letter to Lady Tsunade when you two came back the night you gave her that ring." He said, "What she sent back stunned all of us, I didn't want you two to know then, I'd rather you two have the best nights of you life. Sakura, you are going to stay in Suna." Gaara smiled and held onto Sakura.

"However," Neji continued, "you will need to come back to Konoha to meet the parents and make plans." Sakura looked up at Neji, he was reading from the letter now, "Also, Tsunade said that the wedding must be held in Konoha, that way it wouldn't be postponed by a sandstorm here in Suna." Neji finished speaking and left the couple alone.

"Arigato, Neji" Sakura said quietly, Gaara smiled and kissed the happy woman that was on him. Sakura smiled at Gaara and they kissed until lunch was ready. Temari saw Gaara and Sakura come down, she was in his arms, her tears were dried, and they were both the happiest couple she had ever seen. Temari smiled, went back in the kitchen, and told Kankuro what was going on.

Lunch was not like breakfast at all, Kankuro was silent, Temari was asking Sakura questions about the upcoming wedding, and Gaara listened to the girls chatter. Lunch was finished, Naruto and Neji had left before lunch, and Gaara was smiling the entire day, which was very unusual.

Sakura felt like the happiest girl on Earth, she got to be with Gaara, and she was getting married to him. Gaara approached Sakura from behind, she was making plans for the wedding, he put his arms around her belly and held her close.
