Shukaku/Inner Sakura

Thought

The journey to Suna was a long one. Three days to be exact. Sakura hated these long trips. But finally, after what seemed like years, she arrived in Suna. She walked to the front gate and stared at it's size. This place is huge. She thought. "State your purpose!" One of the guards yelled.

"Oh I'm sorry." Sakura walked up to the two guards by the gate and handed them her papers that Tsunade gave her.

The guards studied the papers and then looked up at her. "Okay, you're cleared for entry. Welcome to Suna, Miss Hanuro."

Sakura smiled at walked through the gate. She stood in front of the gates and stared at the buildings around her. "Hey, Sakura, over here!"

Sakura looked to her left and noticed a girl with sandy blonde hair, put back into four pony tails. "Hey, Temari!" she waved.

"Come on, Sakura. We should get you home to shower and all that."

"Wait, you're the Kazekage's sibling?"

"Yeah. You didn't know that Gaara became Kazekage?"

"No." Wow, who would've thought that he would become the leader of a village. He sure has changed.

"I wonder what else on him changed."

"Yeah I do- Hey!"

"Oi, Sakura you there?" Temari waved her hand in front of the pink haired girl.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry. Just a little tired from the journey. What did you say?" Sakura asked.

"I said that I need discuss Gaara's condition with you and all that."

"Okay. Discuss away."

"Well, he recently came back from an assassination mission. But he came back late and he showed up at the house all beaten up and he's paler than usual." Temari explained.

"Couldn't you have brought him to the hospital?" Sakura questioned.

"See that's the problem. He won't let us take him to the hospital and he won't let anyone get near him. He says he's fine, but if you really look at him he's a mess."

"So how do you expect me to get near him?"

"Well, first of all, he doesn't even know you're coming. Secondly, I was kinda hoping you had some jutsu up your sleeve." Temari smiled as they turned a corner.

"Well, I do know a few sleeping jutsus, and I do know a jutsu that'll seal the demon for a few hours."

"Oh, thank-you, Sakura-chan!" Temari pulled Sakura into a hug.

"But you will have to find a way to hold him down while I preform the seals." Sakura added.

"No problem. We'll leave that to Kankuro. Anyways, here we are." Temari mentioned as she lead Sakura up a few stairs to the front door.

Temari opened the door and walked inside with Sakura close behind. Sakura kept walking in while Temari closed the door. "Nice house you have."

"House. More like Mansion." Inner Sakura commented.

"Thanks. Do you want me to show you your room first?" Temari asked.

"Sure."

Sakura followed Temari upstairs and down a hallway. They came to a door that Temari opened. "So this is your room. Mine is right across from yours and then Kankuro and Gaara are on both sides. And then the bathroom is first door on the left at the beginning of the hallway. Okay?"

"Yep. Thanks again, Temari."

"No problem, Sakura. Why don't you get unpacked and showered up. When you're done, come downstairs and I'll cook supper." Temari told.

"Ugh, your cooking again." Sakura looked over by the stairs and saw a boy with dark brown hair.

"You got a problem with my cooking?"

"No. Only the fact that you are able to burn salad." Kankuro argued.

"If you don't like my cooking, why don't you cook for yourself?!" Temari shouted.

Sakura laughed as she went into her room and took some clothes out of her bag. She quickly unpacked and headed straight for the shower.

Yay! So that was chapter 2. Not much went on here, but you did learn a little more. Trust me in the next chapter Gaara will appear! R&R plz
