Summary: They were a family, a team, so much more than anything anyone could think of. They were Team Seven, and these are their stories.
Summary of Chapter: Gaara remembers her.
**_**
He wonders why no one wants to play with him as he sits in his sandbox. He plays with the sand as time passes, letting it slip through his pudgy fingers and pulling it back up. He prefers playing with his hands instead of using Mother, who makes the sand hurt him. Before he knows it there's another hand playing with the same sand. Mother doesn't like it.
But Gaara does.
He likes the soft pretty hand that plays and shapes sand with him. He sees pink, and then there's a face to go with the pretty hand. With pretty pretty pink hair and big greengreen eyes. They play together, him and Haruno Sakura-chan, shaping sand into birds, into trees, ad into little animal creatures she loves. He asks if she can play tomorrow, if he can tuck this small piece of happiness into his tomorrow. She looks sad for a moment and says she can't.
He's mad now, at himself, at Mother for letting her in, at her for being so gosh darn sweet!
She hugs him tight, and gives him a small piece of her, a ribbon to be exact. He tucks it away, fearful that if Father finds out he'll take her away. Her with her big greengreen eyes and pretty pretty pink hair.
5 years passes, he's stronger now, more powerful, and when he is sent to Konoha – where she is from – he is ready to take her back. Back to him and that sandbox where they can laze the day away.
He sees the pink, the long pretty pink, and the eyes, large green eyes, and his heart – small and unused – is starting to break. Because she's so different. Her hair and eyes are the same, but her voice – small, hard, whole – is screechy and loud. Her eyes fawn over the Uchiha (he's never wanted to kill anyone so badly).
He remembers her.
(the adventures and smiles and joyjoyjoy he's never felt since then)
But he doesn't want to.

Oh my lawd, I've finally finished 5 chapters. This is why I like drabbles so much :P.
I LOVE YOU ALL! Except you in the back, you I don't care for.
