My first story

I don't own Naruto

Chapter 2: Reunion

(Sakura's house)

(Sakura POV)

"How was your day Sakura?" My mother asked with a smile.

"It was ok I suppose, Kakashi-sensei has put our team up for the chuunin exams and I don't know if I'm strong enough." I knew I sounded defeated but I couldn't help it.

"Oh sweetheart you'll do fine, you're a Haruno you'll do great" I smiled; trust my mom to be so believing.

"Thanks okaasan, I'm going to bed good night"

"Goodnight sweetie"

I was running; he was going to get me; I was so scared. I tripped over a tree branch and before I could get up he'd gotten a hold of me.

"Why hello little blossom, you know you shouldn't run away from me, it'll only cause you more trouble."

"N.n. you're dead" I kept repeating it more to myself than to him. Then I heard it; a fierce sound, oh god he was growling.

"Now now Sakura that's no way to think of your father, I'm not going to hurt you." I screamed.


"Sakura, Sakura"

"No please stop"

"Sakura, wake up it's ok, you're ok now."

(Gaara POV)

I wrapped my arms around Sakura and rocked her back and forth until she was awake. I could hear her sobbing and felt her shaking.

"Shh it's ok Sakura I'm here now."

"G.g.?"

"Yes."

(Sakura POV)

I can't believe he's actually here

Me neither, but boy has he grown up into one fine piece of yummy hehe

I'm actually going to agree with you … just this once though

"Sakura?"

I hadn't realized I had been staring at him open mouthed.

"Mmmm?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"'Cause when I got here you were tossing, turning and looked like you were having a serious nightmare."

"Oh yeah that" I laughed nervously. Gaara put his arms round me and didn't push it any further which I was very glad of. I was getting more nervous by the second so I decided to start some conversation.

"So… have you missed me?" I sighed, he smirked, I smiled, and he nodded. From there on out we talked like we'd known each other our whole lives. I showed him my mark and he smiled and kissed it while looking in my eyes as if searching for something, while I just stared in wonder, blushing.

That night I fell asleep in Gaara's arms, happy and content.

I woke up to the sound of Gaara's heartbeat thumping slowly and strongly in rhythm with my breathing. I smiled and tried to snuggle closer realizing that it was a mistake by letting him know I was awake. It just made him move his arms and attempt to get me up saying that we had to go to the chuunin exams and I had to get ready. I think I mumbled something about there being no rush and that I could keep sleeping if he just got back into the same position as before. BUT NOOOO the fucker decided to chuckle at that!

Did he just chuckle at us

HELL YES HE DID GLOMP HIIIMM!!!

*Smirks* *smirks*

I attempted to glomp him; lets just say that my attempt completely and epically failed. It just ended up with him reacting by grabbing me round the waist and throwing me on the bed with a stupid smug grin on his face that I just wanna wipe off.
