Dare to Love You-Chapter 6

Sakura finally was getting into her nerves. She looked up to the speaker with lifted eyebrows and irritated look.

"Whoa… she is a hottie!" That guy grinned to his friend beside him. His word made Sakura twitched even more.

"You are on my way. Move." Sakura commanded. But it came to no result. Those two guys grinned pervertly to her, one of them even grabbed her wrist.

"Wow... you look cuter when you get angry, sweetie..." Said the guy. The other nodded in agreement. Sakura wriggled from his hold, but he kept the hold firmly.

"GET OFF, YOU JERK!" Sakura yelled on their faces and still wriggling her wrist off. They ignored her. All the citizens around them could only watched from their place. They didn't want to have problem with those guys.

The other guy brought his face closer to Sakura and still had the irritating grin plastered on his damn cute face. Sakura shut her eyes, trying to kept her cool. But it was just making her more irritated. Lack of chakra and tired of crying made her mood worse.

Sakura brought her other hand to slap his cheek, but he caught it and laughed.

"Oh, come on sweetheart. Don't do that…"

"SHUT UP!" Sakura yelled in hoarse voice after too many crying and yelling. That time, both her hands were already held by those guys. Her paper bag fell on their foot. One of them noticed that and took it.

"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Sakura yelled again. He ignored her and swung the bag in front of her. When Sakura was about to grab it, he caught her wrist again.

"Not a chance, sweetie… You can have it after you go with us to an interesting place…" He said. Sakura heard that interesting place word was just the same with hotel.

They dragged Sakura to an empty corner after threatened the citizens. One of them pushed Sakura to the wall while the other watched from behind with highly amusement.

He trailed his index finger across Sakura's cheek as Sakura shut her eyes.

"Somebody help me…" Sakura said weakly. He laughed.

"Ahaha… It's useless. Nobody is here except us…"

Then he kissed her lips roughly and continued to her neck. Sakura started to wriggle again but he pushed her harder.

Sakura couldn't scream anymore. The dam broke. She cried.

He pulled himself from her and watched her. "You are so cute… be mine…"

Sakura looked at him as her tears still rolled across her cheek. "I won't until the hell freeze up!" He got irritated and slapped Sakura's cheek hard.

Sakura closed her eyes at his action, and then she spat on his face.

"Why you little--," But he stopped it and laughed again. What a maniac, he continued to harass Sakura.

Sakura whimpered. "Gaa…ra…" That one caught his attention.

"You are calling that damn Kazekage? This is Konoha, you idiot!" Sakura just continued to calling his name over and over.

"Whatever! Why should I care to that stupid boy, I don't even know him!" then he turned back.

"Oi! Help me to shut this gi--," he never finished his word.

Sakura felt the weight on her wrist lifted. Then she heard some painful screams. She opened her eyes. She found those two guys lied on the ground, seemed dying. Her eyes widened.

"Here's your bag, Haruno…"

It was Gaara! Wait. Gaara was in front of her? She must be daydreaming. She fell down to her knees as if her legs were too weak to support her.

Gaara startled at her sudden action and squatted in front of her. She was crying again. Gaara got panic and grabbed her shoulders. "Hey, Haruno! Are you okay?"

Sakura hugged him tightly and buried her face on his chest as she let out her cry.

Gaara's hand were hanging on the air, completely didn't know what to do. It was first time for him of had a crying girl in his hug. Being lack of social knowledge, he chose to pat her head, very carefully.

But it only made Sakura cried louder. 'Oops… I made her worse…' he mentally kicked himself.

Gaara then remembered that he had seen a mother was comforting her son back in Suna. He courage himself and pushed her with his hand on her shoulder. Sakura blinked at him in confused.

Gaara brought his lips to kiss her forehead tenderly. Worrying that whether was that way worked or not, Gaara looked at Sakura again.

With puffy and red eyes, her face was all red.

To his disappointment, Sakura grabbed the paper bag and freed herself from him, and then ran away to the main street.

Gaara chased after her, ignored the stares from the citizens. Finally he got her wrist.

"Let me go!" she wriggled her wrist, avoid the eye contact. Gaara put his both hands on her cheeks. "Listen to me, Haruno."

Sakura slapped his hands away. "What do you want now?! Are you happy now after torturing me with your sudden action?! You were disappeared just like that! Don't you ever think how painful that is for me?!" She let out all of her emotions.

When Gaara was about to open his mouth, Sakura stopped him. "Okay! Thanks for your help before! Without you, I would lose my virg--," Gaara covered her mouth, too embarrassed to hear her next word. But Sakura pushed his hand again.

"I'm not finish yet! But you are a jerk, Kazekage-sama! You-are-a-jerk!" she poked his chest in her every word. Gaara got into his nerve, he pushed her finger. "Listen to me!"

Sakura stood there, puffy eyes, dried tears, horrible look, but both hands on her hips.

"What!" she said. Gaara lifted an un-exist eyebrow to the girl in front of him.

He crossed his arms over his chest, stood in his usual cold state. There was dead silence; all the citizens watched them whom stood in challenge pose.

"I bet 100.000 yen for the Kazekage…"

"I think that kunoichi will win…"

"Aah… teenager problem…"

"First thing is…" Gaara started. "I don't know what your problem is, Haruno. Why the heck were you bursting your anger like that?"

Sakura was about to protest, but Gaara lifted a hand as a gesture to not cut his words.

"Second, why were you feeling painful when I just disappeared since a few days ago?" he asked. Sakura twitched. She wanted to scream, yell, punch him, kick him, and even kill the most innocent boy that she ever knew. Doesn't he know how her feeling toward him?

Sakura knew that. She had lost the dare. She supposed to make him falls for her, and there, she got into her own trap.

Sakura started to cry again. She let out a depressed scream to the air.

"I hate you!" she finally said those magic three words. She threw the paper bag toward him, direct to his face. "There! Thank you for your help!" then she spun her heels and about to left him.

Gaara growled. He opened the bag and found his shirt in it.

'So that's why my old neighbor said that a girl always came to my apartment? And is she the one who had cleaned my apartment? And she always asked Shizune where am I? And I just that stupid, agreed with Naruto's invite to sleepover at his house with the other boys? Did I just abandon her after all of her kindness to me?' Gaara really wanted to bang his head on the wall because of his stupidity.

"Go get her, Kazekage-sama!" A little boy around 6 came to his side and patted his knee, the highest spot that he could reach. Gaara squatted in front of him. Then his mother came to him.

She bowed. "I'm sorry, Kazekage-sama. But I think, you should get your girlfriend back, before you regret it." She smiled. Gaara gritted his teeth.

He stood up. "She is not my girlfriend!" he protested to that young mother. But she just smiled. "I know… But she is your soon-to-be-girlfriend, isn't she?"

Those words seemed stabbed his heart. He looked at Sakura's figure then to that woman. "Do you think so?" She nodded. Gaara sighed.

"Whatever. Now tell me. How is the way to comfort a girl like her?" he asked as he pointed her. That woman's smile grew wider and said, "Now, listen…"

Gaara finally found Sakura. Sakura whom noticed his presence, started to run. But it was too late. Gaara had already caught her. By using the new knowledge from that young woman, he hugged her from behind.

Sakura gasped. "K-Kazekage-sama!" But she remembered again, "Wait! Let me go!"

Gaara could be so ignorant when he wanted to. He stayed in his position and murmured on her shoulder. "Drop the formalities. And I won't let you go, until you answer my questions."

Sakura stiffened at Gaara's sudden change. "O-okay…" Great, now she had a speaking problem. "Fine…"

Gaara turned her to face him. With red face and closed eyes, she did so.

"Look at me." Like a spell, Sakura obeyed his every word.

"Alright… Gaa--ehm…Gaara." Sakura took a deep breath. "I'll answer your question…"

Sakura though mentally,'Okay Sakura… This is your breaking point… breathe in… breathe out…'

"I… did all because… because I…"

They didn't know, not too far away from their spot, there walked Ino, Naruto, Hinata, Tenten, and Neji.

"So, Gaara was not leaving Konoha?" Ino asked again. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah… I invited all the boys to sleepover at my house a few days ago." He grinned. Ino really wanted to whack that boy's head.

Sakura gulped, gathering all of her courage to tell him.

"Because…?" Gaara asked. Sakura lifted an eyebrow. "Don't cut me!"

"Alright… alright... go on…" Gaara said carefully.

"Hey! That's Gaara! Eh? He is with Sakura?" Tenten pointed her finger to them. All the teens looked to the direction.

"Because… I… love you." Sakura ended with lowered her face, totally embarrassed.

Gaara froze. 'So that woman's speculation is right. She loves me…?' Gaara had no idea what to do. No one ever said that word direct to his face. Sakura freed from his hold again.

"I'm sorry… just forget it!"

"Sakura-chan is crying! What did he do to her?!" Naruto asked to no one. When he was about to get Gaara, Ino and his girlfriend, Hinata stopped him.

Neji said, "Let them finish their problem."

"But--,"

"Eh, Sakura! Wait!" For the first time, Gaara called Sakura by her given name unconsciously, which success made Sakura stopped.

Sakura turned. "You called me… Sakura?"

Gaara then chose to act according to that woman's lesson and his instinct.

He came to her and closed the gap between them.

"Oh, my God! They are—," Ino surprised, so did Tenten and Hinata. Naruto's jaw dropped. Neji just stood as if nothing happened.

Butterfly sensation came into their stomach. Although that feeling was un-familiar to them, they liked it…

"They are… They are kissing!"
