A/n: sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I had a hard time thinking of what I was going. But I finally figured out what I was anything. But I finally figured out what I was going to put! And here it is. Hope that you all like it! REVIEW! Please! Thanks guys!

He sat on the bed in his room. Since he cannot sleep he does the only thing he can, meditate. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of all thoughts and concentrate. But his thoughts kept wondering back to the girl in the room across from his. As hard as he tried to get her out of him mind, clear his head of anything that had to do with her, but nothing seemed to work! Finally after about an hour of trying to meditate, his mind cleared and let him. About 5 minutes after he started, he heard a door open and then close.

'I wonder who that could be?' he thought to himself. Cracking open his door to see what was going on, and who it was that would be up so early in the morning (besides him, he doesn't count cause he can't sleep).

Out in the hall

Sakura walked out of her room. She always got up this early so she was used to darkness of the night. She wasn't aware that she was being so quiet because she was used to living on her own. That and she broke her door off its hinges, so she had to be careful when closing it. Sakura fixed it but just so it would close all the way and lock. She had gotten used to the sound it made when it closed so she didn't notice it anymore.

Sakura started walking down the hall when a voice spoke, making her stop in her tracks. Knowing who it was, she didn't bother to turn around and face the owner of the voice.

"Where are YOU going so early?" he asked. She turned around to face none other then Gaara. The one she had forgotten.

"It's my house and I can go anywhere I want. I do not answer to anyone, ESPECIALLY you!" she snapped annoyed that he was trying to control everything, like he was the boss and everyone had to listen and do what he said. She turned around and started walking down the stairs. She stopped halfway and faced him one more time because she could tell that he was getting mad.

"Oh, and by the way. Don't even think about sending your sand after me, It won't work." She said and then disappeared outside.

He was outside also. Trying to find her in the dark and fog that was there.

"Oh and why is that?" he called to the girl that he could not see. Wondering what she had meant.

"Gaara, Gaara, Gaara!... there are special wards on this house and everything in and around it! They make it so that anyone who tries to attack me, fails! It drains the chakra control on what they are using to kill me, even if it is by hand. Leaving them powerless and at my mercy." Sakura replied smugly, appearing in front of him the disappearing the next second.

"And I'm the only one who can change them. And clones and those other jutsus' won't work! It's gotta be the real thing, ME!"

Gaara was glaring at her, but still trying to find her. Wanting so badly to hurt her with his sand and make her beg for mercy but not wanting to take the chance of his chakra being drained. He felt so helpless, if that's even possible.

"So what are you doing out here at 3 in the morning?" Gaara asked, still frustrated that he couldn't hurt her.

"I'm practicing" was her only reply before she appeared in front of him then turned and walked away, disappearing once again.

"COME OUT!" he yelled

"Why? It's SO much fun getting you mad!" she giggled. Still not able to be seen.

"Come out right now!" Gaara was so pissed right now. He doesn't like it when people play games with him.

"Awwww…….but it's fun! You get all red in the face like a tomato! And plus you get this serious look on your face!" she shouted at him

"It's so funny!" she walked out in front of him laughing at the look on his face. Sakura knew that he wanted to hurt her but he was restraining himself so that he wouldn't.

Gaara mumbled something about her being a pain in the ass.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" she asked in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Nothing" he muttered crossing his arms across his chest not bothering to look her in the eye.

"ok, well. You know what? I'm getting bored out here. I'll be inside if you need me. CYA!" she shouted and then disappeared inside.

"ARGHHHHH! I hate her!" Gaara yelled to no one but himself.

'no you don't. you love her! you just don't want to believe it!'

'what are you talking about! I do not!' he shouted at the voice inside of his head

'oh but you do! You love her and you know it!'

'stop saying that! I do not! You're lying! It's not true!' Gaara yelled in his mind trying to shut the voice inside of his mind up.

'you know I'm right! So just stop denying it! Why can't you just except the truth!'

'because I don't have to! That's why! So just shut up and leave me ALONE!' he yelled

'alright alright! GOD! Touchy, touchy! Well I'll just come back when you're NOT so rude!' shukaku snapped acting hurt and mad at the same time.

'Finally, some peace and quiet' he sighed

Standing outside alone doing nothing at 3 in the morning made him feel kind of stupid. So he decided to go back inside and get something to eat since his stomach wouldn't stop growling. He walked into the kitchen and saw the pink haired girl making something for her to eat.

'Great, this is just what I need. Another argument with her' Gaara thought as he entered the kitchen.

"so you finally decided to come in did you?" she asked

"hn" was the only reply she got

"whatever, just clean up when you're finished. I won't clean up after you or anyone else for that matter." She told him in a bored tone.

"hn" again that was the only reply that she got

She walked out of the kitchen with her sandwich in hand heading up the stairs and back to her room till later. He sighed, then turned around and looked in the fridge for something to eat. He never really ate that much. Wasn't ever really hungry. But he was now.

'why is she so cold to me?' he thought to himself

'because you're a bastered' shukaku replied

'thanks' his voice was dripping with sarcasm

'you're welcome, glad you finally learned some manners' he smiled

'I was being sarcastic!' Gaara yelled at his demon

'so?'

'never mind'

'you're hopeless' shukaku said shaking his head

'so I've been told'

'I know, I'm the one always telling you'

'yeah, yeah. I hate you'

'I know, I love you too'

'you suck'

'so do you, but you don't see me complaining!'

'Exactly! I can't see you!' Gaara shouted at him

'I know! Why do you think I said it?'

'you are so annoying'

'thank you very much' shukaku took this as a compliment

(I do that to, take things like that as compliments, it's so funny to see the looks on my friends faces when I say it! HA!)

'you're NOT very welcome!'

Finally after arguing with the demon, he decided that he wasn't very hungry anymore. So he started towards the stairs when he saw his sister, Temari, standing in the middle of the stair case looking down at him.

"so baby brother, you two are still fighting?" she asked him

"what's it to you?" Gaara snapped at her

"look, she's my best friend and I don't want to see her hurt, again." Temari said in a soft but firm voice.

"…." He said nothing, but as he was about to say something she cut him off.

"and don't even think about saying 'stay out of this or else I will kill you', if you hurt her, I will kill YOU!" her voice was icy sharp and she glared at him until he looked away. with that, Temari turned around and headed back to her room.

Gaara just stood there, shocked at what his sister had just said to him. He couldn't believe it! She had never done that before. Never stood up to him or even in he least yell at him. He always thought that she was afraid of him like everyone else. But he was wrong, he was so totally wrong!

'wow, I can't believe that she actually did that! Who does she think she is?' he yelled in his mind

"you're sister, that's who………"

Gaara looked up the stairs to see who had said that and was surprised to see……..
