DISCLAIMER NOTICE: I'm running out of witty disclaimer notices. Hm…here is a classic. Roses are red, violets are blue. I don't own Naruto, and neither do you…I think. If you do, Hello.

Sakura sat up in here bed. It was surprisingly comfortable for a Inn bed. She sleepily opened her eyes to look right into Gaara's. She screamed.

"Oh, I just got over the head ache you gave me last night. Be quiet." He said clutching his ears. Sakura closed her mouth and thought. 'Last night..?'

She screamed again. 'OH MY GOSH! What were you thinking down there?!" She said, thinking he was trying to hurt her.

Gaara turned around to face her.

"I was about to ask you the same thing. I was sitting on the roof and the next thing I know, your falling down the roof next to me. I saved you, you freaked out, I had to put a sleeping jetsu on you. Oh, and sorry about your wrists." Sakura looked at her wrists. They were bruised slightly.

"It didn't help to get you under control. You need to know your own strength. You would have killed me if I hadn't had sand to protect me from you outrageously strengthened blows."

"Sorry," Sakura mumbled. She got up and walked over to the mirror. Another scream. "GEEZ WOMAN! There's a pair of clothes on the bed post for you!" She had them on in a matter of seconds. She looked at the ground, then at her wrists. She gathered her courage and ran up to Gaara, throwing her arms around his neck and buried her face into his shirt.

"Thank you for saving me." Gaara took a few steps back. He had no idea how to react. This was his first hug in a long time. Actually, ever. Her embrace was warm and insuring. He did what most normal people would do, and hugged her back. It was uncomfortable, but at the same time, the most relaxed state he had ever been in.

"GAARA-SAMA!" Temari's voice yelled. It was closing in on his room. She burst threw the door.

"I HEARD SOME ONE SCREAM AND-" she stopped to catch her breath, looking at Sakura and Gaara. "Oh…you scared me…" she mumbled walking out the door. Gaara glared after her and Sakura let out a giggle.

He looked down at her. Her eyes looked like crystals with a vast forest behind them. (AN (-) YES!! THAT GREEN!!!)

Sakura looked into Gaara's soft jade eyes.

Her face was growing red as she quickly spun around, her hair fanning over her face. "Sorry…." She mumbled.

"It's fine." Gaara said shakily, picking up his gourd and wrapping it around his back. "It felt good." Sakura was shocked by this, and turned to stare into cold and lonely eyes. Instead, she turned to look into soft and affectionate eyes.

With that, he was gone into his vortex of sand, leaving Sakura's heart fluttering after him.
