Chapter two
7:00 came round quickly as Sakura rushed to get ready putting on her jeans she shoved on a top as there was a knock on the door.
"It's open" Sakura called from up stairs "oh Hi" she smiled nervously as she came down the stairs.
"Hm" said a bored and annoyed looking read head "Temari asked me to come and make sure your ok" he grunted
"Oh right, well thanks, I'm ready now so I'll walk round with you if that's ok?"
"Hm" was the known reply
"Great I'll just get my leys" Sakura quickly ran back upstairs to grab her bag
"Wow look at her ass" Shukaku said as they watched her
"Shut up" came the grunted answer "ohh you know you like it, she's really hot" Shukaku laughed
"Shut up you perv"
"Oh come on, you know you wona ask her out"
"No"
"Yeh you do"
"No, I don't like people" Gaara shot back he hated it when Shukaku spoke to him, though they did get on a bit better now.
"Umm Gaara are you ok" Gaara shot back to reality as a hand waved in front of his face
"Hm" he grunted turning and walking out of the door
"Ohhk then" inner Sakura said "he's a little strange, but let's go have fun" inner Sakura shouted happily as she followed Gaara through the door of his house, noting that it was exactly the same as hers though Temari had told her that their house had more rooms because of all the quests they use to have. Walking in to the living room Sakura was met by Naruto, Hinata, Neji and Tenten who had already arrived.
"Sorry I'm late" Sakura said suddenly a little shy
"No problem" Temari said coming up behind her with a bowl of crisps "the other will be here soon"
"SNACKS" Naruto shouted jumping up and relieving Temari of the food.
"Troublesome" Shikamaru grumbled as he followed Temari in to the room.
"Hi Shikamaru" Sakura said happily
"Hey" he mumbled resting his head on the wall that he was leaning on.
"So when are the others coming?" Tenten asked
"Well Choji and lee are coming at half past, but I'm not sure about Sasuke"
"oh don't worry he will come' Naruto chipped in "he just wants to look cool by being late"
"Baka" Neji mumbled
Knock Knock Bark
"That will be Kiba and Ino" Temari jumped up going to open the door
"INO" she screamed
"TEMARI" came the high pitched reply as the two girls hugged whilst jumping up and down
"Hey Hey guy we have drinks" Kiba shouted coming in behind Ino followed by Akamaru
"At last, lets get this party started" Kankuro said putting the music on.
"Yay" screamed Ino Tenten and Temari as they jumped up to dance.
"Common Sakura, Hinata' Ino shouted over the music as the three girls pulled them up.
After an hour or so of drinking Temari had introduced Sakura to their other friends Lee, Shizune and Shino and was presently dancing with the others. Unknown to her Gaara was watching her closely.
"Now who's the perv" Shukaku laughed
"Shut up" Gaara hissed
"Talking to Shukaku again" Sasuke smirked coming up behind Gaara
"When did you get here Uchiha" Gaara shot back
"Oh you know" Sasuke said not really giving an answer "I'm thinking of asking Sakura out" he said suddenly
"Why are you telling me?" Gaara said trying not to show he cared
"well you've been watching her for the last hour, I just thought you would like to know" Sasuke said slyly "plus she is hot"
"hm" Gaara muttered walking away "like I care" he shot over his shoulder more to convince himself than Sasuke
"Dam that Uchiha" Shukaku screamed in Gaara's head "Kill him kill him now we can't let him take our Sakura"
"Our Sakura?"
"Yes our, common this could be your only chance don't let her go"
"Shut up, she would never like a monster like me so just Shut up" Gaara screamed back running up to his room locking the door behind him quickly.
Meanwhile down stairs Sakura and the girls were still madly dancing and drinking, Temari had managed to drag a very reluctant Shikamaru up to dace with while Naruto if u can call it dancing was throwing Hinata around the room.
"Hey Baka, be careful with my cousin" Neji shouted quickly as Hinata nearly missed a table as Naruto swung her round
"Don't worry I would never hurt the women I love" Naruto said with out thinking as Hinata suddenly collapsed.
"Ahh no Hinata" Naruto cried grapping her before she hit the floor "oh Hinata, I didn't mean to upset you, please wake up" Naruto cried
"Baka" Tenten muttered "He really doesn't know what he means to her"
"will she be ok" Sakura asked worriedly "shouldn't we do something?"
"Nah she'll be ok, she will wake up in a minute she just gets really nervous around him" Temari said
"yeh and for him to shout that he loves her, well that was to much " Ino laughed
"ohh" Sakura watched as Hinata's eyes flickered open
"Na…Naruto-Kun?" she stammered
"Hinata you scared me" Naruto cried (Anime tears)
"sorry" Hinata whispered
"No I'm sorry, I'm always making you faint I'm so sorry, I just wonted to tell you that I love you" Naruto told her
"really?" "you really love me?" She's asked
"yes I really do, please don't faint again" he added quickly
"I love you to Naruto-kun" she said
"Hinata you didn't stutter" Naruto exclaimed hugging her tightly
"hey Baka she cant breath" Neji called out and Naruto quickly released Hinata
"sorry" he muttered
Laughing Hinata stood up making Naruto rise as well "I love you" she said again
"Love you to" He answered as she kissed him.
"Awww" said all the girls as the music was turned up and the dancing continued. As the night drew on Sakura finally worn out from dancing left Temari and went to get a drink.
"I wonder where Gaara is" she thought as she made her way back to the living room.
"Hey Sakura, can I have a word" Sasuke said coming up to her
"Yeh sure, what's up?" Sakura said
"Nothing much, I just wonted to ask you something" Sasuke said coolly "let go in to the kitchen"
"ok" Sakura replied following him.
"well first I want to apologies for my rube behavior to day"
"oh its ok, I probably would have done the same if I was getting annoyed by some girl who droped books on my head" Sakura laughed but seeing Sasuke's face quickly shut up "sorry, go on"
"umm yeah so any way, I was wondering if you wanted to go out some time?"
"OH MY GOD" Inner Sakura screamed "he just asked you out"
"SAY yes say yes" inner Sakura demanded
"i… but you hardly know me"
"NOOOO" inner Sakura cried
"I know but I would really like to get to know you better"
"umm well I..." Sakura was stopped as Sasuke leaned in a kissed her
"I would really like to get to know you better" he said seductively in between kissing her
"well I guess we could" Sakura said kissing him back
"Cha" shouted inner Sakura "you go girl"
Unknown by anyone Gaara disappeared in a burst of sand, reappearing in the forest behind the house
"Ahh" He screamed covering his head with his arms
"I told you to get there first" Shukaku scolded "you let our cherry blossom go"
"Shut up, shut up" Gaara howled "why would she even consider me I'm a monster" he screamed images of his uncles flashed through his head.
Flashback
"I never loved you, my sister despised this village, I despise you" he said his voice repeating "despise you despise you" as the sand around Gaara surrounded him in a protective ball trying to block out the words.
End Flashback
"I wonder were Gaara got to" Temari asked Ino as they walked to the kitchen
"I duno maybe… wow" Ino stopped mid sentence
"what's up … oh my god" Temari whispered as they both entered the kitchen only to be faced with Sasuke and Sakura in a hot make out session
"sorry" they said in unison as the quickly turned round
"hey guys what's up" Naruto shouted as he entered the kitchen
"Temari where's your Ramey?" he started stopping when he to spotted Sasuke and Sakura
"Ahhh Baka u finally got a girl friend" He shouted "Hey every one guess what" he started to shout as Sasuke pounced on him covering his mouth
"Hey what's going on?" Kiba asked as he spotted Naruto and Sasuke rolling on the floor
"ohh umm nothing" Sakura said quickly coming to Sasuke's rescue
"Sasuke and Sakura" Naruto managed to shout out as he bit Sasuke's hand
"AHH BAKA" Sasuke shouted retracting his bleeding hand
"sorry"
"What?" Kiba exclaimed as he ran up to Naruto who had managed to wriggle out from under Sasuke
"ohh god" Sakura moaned as they all heard Naruto and Kiba running around the house shouting.
"Don't worry Sakura the whole village will know soon" Kankuro said trying to muffle his laugh "Hahaha" he laughed running after Naruto and Kiba

Time skip 1 year
"Sasuke do you want something to eat?" Sakura asked her boyfriend
"No"
"What about a drink?"
"No"
"Well um what do you want?" She tried again
"For you to shut up and leave me alone" He shot walking out of the shop leaving a shocked Temari and Ino
"You shouldn't let him talk to you like that" Ino exclaimed
"It's ok" Sakura tried to calm her friends down
"No its not, he's mean and rude, you shouldn't stand for it" Temari said annoyed
"He never uses to be like this" Sakura sighed
"I know, but still he's getting ruder and ruder" Temari exclaimed
"There's nothing I can do" Said an exhausted Sakura
"You can dump him" said a voice behind them, every one turned to find Gaara standing behind them.
"Hey Gaara' Sakura said happy again "grab a seat" she pointed to Sasuke empty one. Sitting down Gaara ordered a drink.
"You know I will kill him if you want me to" Gaara offered seriously, unfortunately no one saw it like that and laughed
"Nice one Gaara" Kiba said joining the group
"Hm" Gaara grunted, recently they never seemed to believe his threats, "must be going soft" Shukaku muttered
"Thanks Gaara" Sakura said laughing
"You shouldn't let him push you around" Gaara grunted
"You sound like your sister" Sakura sighed again resting her head on Gaara's shoulder
"Sasuke said he wonted to talk to me tonight ill try and work things out then" she muttered closing her eyes
"God she smells nice" Shukaku said "we should just taker her away now"
"Shut up"
"Well good luck" Ino said getting up "common lets go shopping"
"sounds good" Temari smiled jumping up with Ino
"Troublesome" Shikamaru muttered as his girlfriend dragged him away.
"Wona come Gaara?" Sakura asked
"Hm" he muttered as he followed her out the shop.
……………………………………………………
(after shopping XD)
"Thanks for your help" Sakura said as she and Gaara walked in to her kitchen "just put them over there" she indicated to a free table counter where Gaara was now putting her shopping bags down.
"It was nice of him to offer to help you unload the car" inner Sakura said
"Yeh, he's great"
"To right, and he's much better looking than Sasuke"
"What?" Sakura dropped the milk
"Where'd that come from, I I love Sasuke" Sakura said as she started to mop up the spilt milk
"But" inner Sakura's thoughts were cut of by the phone
"Who could that be?"
"Hey Gaara could you get that" Sakura said as she hurriedly tried to mop up the milk
"Hm" Gaara grunted walking out to the phone
"Sakura's house" he answered
"Gaara?" A cool voice said on the other end
"Hm"
"Where's Sakura?"
"On her bed"
"Nice one" Shukaku laughed
"Why. Get her" Sasuke Demanded
"No" Gaara said hanging up "Stupid Uchiha" Shukaku laughed as Gaara walked back in to the Kitchen
"Who was it?" Sakura asked finishing putting away her shopping
"Wrong number"
Ring ring, ring ring
"I'll get it" Gaara said quickly
"Got it" Sakura said picking it up
"Dam" Shukaku cursed
"Hello? ohh hey I'm looking forward to … what no…just helping me… ohh.. Umm yeh ok... ohh k bu..." the other end hung up
"What's wrong" Gaara asked as Sakura made her way back in to the kitchen
"Oh nothing" Sakura said trying to smile
"Looks like it... tell me" Gaara said concerned
"Ohh well just Sasuke canceling…. again" she said quietly
"You ok?"
"yeh, I'm fine it not like it's the first time... Drink? " Sakura said quickly busing her self with the kettle
"She's just trying to occupy her self" Shukaku said
"Dam that uchiha, letting her down again" Gaara cursed
"Um Gaara?"
"Hm"
"You spaced out... I said did you won't a drink"
"Hm" He nodded
"So what are you up to tonight?" Sakura asked
"Nothing"
"Do you wona come for a walk with me"? Sakura asked
"Hm" Gaara shrugged walking to the door
"you really done like talking' She laughed as they waked down the street
"…"
"Come on say something" She laughed
"Gaara, Sakura" A voiced called
"Oh hey Temari" Sakura said as Temari rushed up to them
"I've been looking for you every were" she panted trying to catch her breath
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked
"The council needs to talk to Gaara... immediately" Temari said
"I'm walking with Sakura they can wait" Gaara said sharply
"No no you have to come, sorry but they said" Temari apologized "sorry Sakura"
"Its ok if u gota go then u gota go" Sakura waved her of
"go on I'm just going to walk around for a bit longer, ill see you later" she said turning and continuing down the read
"Will you be ok" Gaara called after her
"Of course, its not like he's never canceled" she smiled "see you later" she said over her shoulder
"Damit" Shukaku cursed as Gaara followed Temari
"Ohh I really wonted to talk to him" Sakura moaned as she continued down the road
Sakura continued to walk not really knowing were she was going until she suddenly stopped and looked around. She was standing in front of the village gates; slowly she turned around and sat on the nearby bench. How had she gotten herself in to this mess, she loved Sasuke with all her heart but they way he treated her. She thought back to the night he asked her out for weeks after that night he was great taking her out were ever she wonted when ever she wonted, buying her thing telling her loved her and how special she was he would even kiss her and hold her hand in public but slowly he changed he began to ignore her when they when out with the group, he stopped buying her thing and become rude some times even mean. It had been nearly 3 months since he last told her he loved her and even then she had had to ask him. Hugging her knees Sakura curled up on the bench the minutes passed buy turning in to an hour bringing a cool breeze and then... a shadow. The Cool wind blew her hair causing her to wake from her light sleep.
"Suppose I should get home" she thought getting up something moving behind her caught her eye causing her to turn suddenly brandishing a Kunai
"Who's there, come out and you wont get hurt" she shouted in to the shadows
A figure stepped out
"What are you doing here, so late at night" the figure asked sharply
Please review I would love to know what you think...
