On the last chapter:

"Kankuro, I need to talk with you. Come with me." Gaara led his older brother to his room, where Gaara layed down on his bed, Kankuro sitting in the chair next to his brothers bed. "Kankuro, I need you to tell me something." said Gaara. Meanwhile, Temari, who had come to check on her brother's during her lunck break, stopped outside the hall and listened to the conversation.

Put THAT Back Together

"What is it Gaara?" Kankuro asked, worry evident in his voice. "Did I do something? Did Temari do something? The Council?" Kankuro asked, seeming to get more worried with every breath. He started leaning forward in his chair.

"No, Kankuro, you, Temari, and the Council are all fine." Gaara said. This made Kankuro relax. "I want you to tell me what I've been feeling." he said. Kankuro gave a confused look at his brother. Gaara saw this, then continued. "It's Sakura. She makes me feel...different." He finally managed to say. Temari felt guilty eavesdropping on her brother's conversation. But she thought it was something she could help with. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard the door unlock, and heard a 'you can come in Temari' from an all too familiar voice. The door opened, Temari seemed embarrased, and merely sat down in the chair opposite Kankuro.

"Temari, what do you think is wrong?" Kankuro asked.

"I think that Gaara may have feelings for Sakura." Temari replied. Kankuro nodded in agreement. Gaara seemed a bit confused. Seeing this, his siblings nodded towards each other. "What Temari means by that Gaara, is that you want her to be happy. You don't want anyone to take her away from you." Kankuro said.

"And that you wish to protect her." Temari finished.

"That would explain why I was angry at Kankuro..." Gaara said, as he started to understand.

"Why don't you just ask her out, Gaara?" Temari said.

"Why?" he asked.

"It'll make her feel special." she replied.

"How about Temari sets you guys up for this Saturday, and Temari can just say it's one of her friends. Which, technically, you are. And I'm sure your wounds will be healed by then." said Kankuro.

"Ok." Gaara said. He got up, and headed for his closet.

"What are you doing Gaara?" Temari asked.

"It's my first date, remember? I have to find an outfit." he replied, throwing a couple of shirts behind him, two landing on Kankuro, one on Temari. They simply pulled them off and laughed.

"Looks like my little brother is growing up!" Temari said, still laughing. She got up and gave her brothers a hug, then left the room.

"Come on Gaara, I'll help you find something." Kankuro said. He got up from the chair, and helped Gaara throw shirts from the closet.

"Kankuro?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"No problem."

At the hospital...

"SAKURA!" yelled Temari. Sakura had just left the hospital, and was on her way to the house. Temari finally caught up, caught her breath, and dragged Sakura in the opposite direction. "Where are we going Temari?" Sakura asked.

"I got you a date this Saturday, so we're going shopping!" she said, still running.

"Is he a pervert?" Sakura asked in a worried voice.

"No! You'll love him, I promise!" Temari said, slowing down as they reached the marketplace.

"Ok, but if he touches my butt even ONCE, I'm gonna...-I promise he won't." Temari said, voice serious. Sakura noticed this, and nodded, obviously noticing that Temari was protective of him. "I'm sorry." she said.

"It's ok." Temari replied. "Now let's go get you a new dress!" Temari replied, dragging Sakura towards one section of the store. Sakura laughed and followed Temari.

That Saturday...

"And...Finished!" Temari said. She looked very proud of her work. She had just finished Sakura's hair, which was now in a bun atop her head, with silky pink curls hanging down. Her dress was also pink, which came a little below her knees. She was wearing black leggings, that matched the dress wonderfully. She also had a black matching purse. She was wearing five silver bracelets on her right arm, which matched her silver necklace with a pink heart for the charm. Her shoes had sparkly flowers on them, matching the flowers on her dress and in her hair. Her earrings matched her necklace, and made her green eyes sparkle. Not that she needed it, because she had put on pink lipstick and pink eyeshadow. She looked stunning, as Kankuro would've said. "Ok, let's get going. We're going to be late!" Temari said, pulling the pink-haired medic towards the door.

They arrived at the restaurant, and took a seat. A few minutes later, Kankuro arrived. He gave a few hello's, then gestured for Temari to leave with him. Before they left, Kankuro managed to push the dressed up Kazekage into the seat opposite Sakura. She hadn't realized that he had arrived, still looking at her menu. Finally realizing someone else was there she muttered an apology, and set down her menu. Then, her jaw dropped. She, Sakura Haruno, was on a date with WHO?

Ok, I kept getting distracted so be happy for now. How will Sakura react to being on a date with the Kazekage? Please Review. It'll only take a few seconds, anyway.
