"Happy birthd-"He paused."Sakura-chan? Are you alright? Your eyes look puffy!" Naruto's bright face turned to a frown. Sakura remembered her fathers words. "Tell anyone about this and your death will come very soon Saku." She shook once again. "Yeah Naruto. I'm fine. The excitement of being 17 took control of my emotions." she lied. "Alright Sakura-chan! Come down soon. We bought you a cake! I picked it out because I know what you like!" he beamed. "Thanks." she said then quickly shut the door. Sakura washed her face and left the bathroom once again. She opened the door and quickly went downstairs where she wouldn't be alone.

Sakura came down the stairs and went into the living room. Her father was sitting in the armchair and Gaara was sitting on the couch. Sakura looked at her father quickly and she took a seat beside Gaara. "Happy birthday." Gaara said in a bored tone. "Thanks." she said in a quiet voice. "There's something different about her today." Shakaku said to Gaara. "Yeah. Maybe something happened to her when we went to go get her cake." Gaara replied. "Keep an eye on her. I like her." Shakaku said. Gaara rolled his eyes at the demon.Minutes later Temari came in with the cake and Naruto and Kankuro followed with presents. The put the items down and broke out into song. Gaara sat there. He didn't sing. He watched Sakura out of the corner of his eye. "eying her up I see." Shakaku said. "No. I was just merely looking in her direction. Not at her." Gaara replied. "Right." Shakaku said. Gaara came back to reality when the singing stopped. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN!" yelled Naruto,Temari and Kankuro. "Yes. Happy birthday Saku." said Akihiko. Gaara frowned. "Saku?" Gaara said in hid mind. "I should keep an eye on Sakura." he said. Sakura smiled and thanked them. She opened presents and was smiling. "Her smiling is fake." Shakaku said. "I know." Gaara said. "Gaara got me a present too?" Sakura thought to herself. 'Hell yeah! Maybe he'll save us." inner Sakura said. "Shut it. Don't bring that up." Sakura snapped at inner Sakura. "...Sorry." inner Sakura apologized. Sakura opened her present. She smiled a real smile. It was a bear with a red ribbon in it's neck. She turned to Gaara. "Thanks Gaara." she said. "Whatever." He replied. Gaara smiled a bit, then his smile turned in a scowl again. "Alright! Time for cake!" yelled Naruto as he picked up the cake and ran into the kitchen. Everyone got up and left. After everyone was gone Gaara got up and started to walk. "Umm Gaara?" Sakura said. "He turned around."What?" Sakura got up and hugged him. "Thank you." She said. Gaara blushed and hugged her back. She broke the hug and went into the kitchen leaving a blushing Gaara. He smiled and headed towards the kitchen.
