Sakura woke up a bit with all the shouting.
"Temari I told you to stay at the house!" Gaara shouted.
"When have I ever listened to you!" she returned. Gaara glared but he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at Saskue.
"Gaara what's going on?" Sakura asked with a yawn. Gaara turned she looked into his eyes and saw guilt.
"Gaara I-" Sakura was cut off when Gaara growled and grabbed his thigh, where a knife now was. He reached for it and grabbed it, took it out, and through it on the ground. When he turned over he saw Saskue limping away.
"That bastard," Gaara sneered.
"Gaara," Sakura gasped, and ran over to him. Sakura reached him; she went to help him, but when she went to go look at his wound, he collapsed. Sakura bent down, to help him up, but she wasn't quite strong enough to lift him, but soon her arms were replaced by Neji and Shikamaru's arms. Her eyes soon formed tears. She turned head when she felt a comforting arm that went around her shoulder, she saw that it was Naruto.
"He's gonna be okay. Gaara won't let that kind of thing stop him." Naruto said quietly. (A/N OMG I know Naruto quite!!) He gave her a smile, Sakura tried to smile but she wasn't really making a smile.
"Come on, let's go," Naruto said motioning his head to where the rest of gang was walking, Sakura nodded and let him lead her.
Gaara was put on the couch. Sakura came into view of him and she saw his expression on his face. Pissed and in pain. Sakura picked up her pace and went over the bathroom, to see Neji looking for the first aid kit. She cleared her throat making him look up. She closed the door a bit, reveled the kit on the wall, behind the door. Neji walked towards her and took the kit off the wall, and walked back to the living room where Gaara was. Sakura slowly walked back into the living room, where she found Neji tearing his pants where the wound was, so that he could tend to it.
Sakura sighed and walked towards the kitchen. She heard voices, and as she came through the door, everyone quieted.
"What?" Sakura asked annoyed. Everyone just mumbled.
"Well, if you guys aren't going to answer me then just leave," Sakura said trying to stay calm. Shikamaru, Kiba, Kankuro, and Naruto left, leaving Sakura with Hinata and Ino.
"Are you okay?" Hinata and Ino asked in perfect time, but both with sympathy tone in their voices. Sakura collapsed and started to cry. Ino and Hinata sat down where she was and comforted her, not saying anything. Sakura stayed like that, but her cries turned into quite sobs. Sakura looked up from her hands, to see small smiles on their faces.
"What?" Sakura asked quietly.
"Girl, your makeup is really smudged," Ino said bluntly. Hinata gave her a look, and grabbed a cloth and got it damp, while Ino fetched her mirror. Hinata gave her the damp cloth; when Ino got back she opened her mirror, Sakura frowned, but she giggled. Ino and Hinata looked at each other. Sakura cleaned her makeup up so that she didn't look so scary. When she was finished making her self look decent, she got up off the floor, and hugged her friends.
"Thanks guys," Sakura said with a smile. Ino went to go say something when Kiba and Naruto came in.
"Hey guys," Hinata said. Naruto walked over to Hinata and gave her a small peck on her forehead. Kiba made his way over to Ino and put his arm around her waist.
"What's up?" Ino asked. Kiba looked at Sakura.
"Gaara wants to see you," Kiba said. Sakura looked at him but walked out of the kitchen to the living room, where Gaara was now sitting up, with his right thigh bandaged. Gaara looked up at her, making her stop. The look that was on her face made her heart hurt; his face showed the emotion of that he was hurting like that he couldn't believe that he couldn't help her, and it showed all over his face making, even though he was trying not to show any emotion. Sakura slowly made her way over to Gaara. She sat beside him. She looked at him, but he was looking towards the floor. She stayed silent because she didn't know exactly what to say, so she just sat and looked at him.
Gaara could feel her staring at him.
Dude!! Say something you're making yourself look like an idiot!
Gaara slowly took Sakura's hand and gripped it tightly. Sakura leaned her head on his shoulder. Gaara leaned his head against the top of hers. Gaara pulled away, and started to get, pulling her along with him. He led her upstairs to the spare room.
"Gaara what are we doing in here?" Sakura asked. Gaara faced her and nodded slightly and closed the space to them, (A/N referenced to the Jesse McCartney beautiful soul video when they are in the pool). Sakura stared at him; he gripped her waist and held her there. Sakura looked at his hand and then at his face.
"Gaara are you okay?" Sakura asked, but before she could do anything Gaara covered her lips with his, it was gentle and passionate; Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and tangled her fingers in his hair. Gaara gently lifted her off the floor and went to the bed where he laid her down; they re postioned themselves more confortably on the bed, they broke apart, both needing air but once they gathered some they went back to kissing. Gaara's tongue brushed her bottom lip, Sakura graciously allowed him enterance. Their tongues battled for the lead Gaara of course won. Sakura started to tug at his shirt, making them pull apart so that he could take it off. He went back to kissing her but rolled over so that she was on top, Gaara pulled her shirt off, so that she was left with only her bra, skirt underwear and shoes were on. The rolled over again, but Gaara left her lips and started kissing her neck.
"Gaara," she said with a loss a breath. He paused and looked at her, "my shoes are still on." Gaara let out a chuckle, and get off of her so that she could take off her shoes he did the same, and they went back to making out. Gaara was back on the bottom and he started to slide her skirt down her legs, she smiled in the kiss and helped him out, but she pulled away from him and started to undo the zipper of his jeans, she started to pull them down until they were off of him. Gaara rolled her over. He was back on top.
Yeah you go girl gonna get some!!!
Sakura's inner cried, making her realize what was happening.
Oh my god I'm gonna have sex with Gaara!!
Gaara started to pull at her underwear, making her break the kiss, but he went to kissing her neck, still pulling at her underwear.
"Gaara, I-I can't do this," She said out of breath, he stopped. He got off of her. He started to leave the bed.
"I'm sorry, I'm just not ready."
"…" He didn't say anything. He redressed himself, and picked up her clothes and handed them to her. He kissed hr forehead, and walked out. Sakura dressed herself, and flopped against the bed.
You almost had him!!!
I know! I just couldn't do it!
Meh, well if I was in control we would have.
Sakura rolled her eyes, and sat up realizing that she wasn't getting anything done, just by sitting here. She opened the door and went down the stairs, to see that Gaara wasn't there; she wondered into the kitchen to find Ino and Kiba making out in the corner, while Hinata and Naruto were cuddled up on the floor, she went outside and saw that Temari and Shikamaru were watching the stars, while TenTen leaned against Neji who was against the tree playing with TenTen's hair which was out of her usual two buns on top of her head.
Sakura walked back inside.
"Have you guys seen Gaara?" she asked.
Ino and Kiba pulled apart so that Ino could talk. "We thought he was with you."
"Well he was, never mind it's fine."
Kiba shrugged and went back to kissing Ino.
Sakura went to the living room and sat down on the chair.
I, I,
I can see it in your eyes
Taste it in our first kiss
Stranger in this lonely town (this lonely town)
Save me from my emptiness (save me)
Sakura pulled her phone out a called Gaara's number.
You took my hand
You told me it would be ok
I trusted you to hold my heart
Now fate is pulling me away, from you
It went to voice mail.
Even if I leave you now
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
On this love
"Hey it's me….call me."
You've become a piece of me
Makes me sick to even think
Of mornings waking up alone
Searching for you in my sheets
Don't fade, away
Time passed and still no call back. She called again.
Even if I leave you now
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around
I won't give in (won't give in)
I can't give up (can't give up)
On this love
"It's me again…please…just call me."
I can't just close the door
(on this love)
I never felt anything like this before
(like this love)
Tell me the truth no matter what we're going through
Will you hold on too 'cause
Sakura stared at her phone and still no Gaara.
Even if I leave you now
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
On this love
Sakura flipped her phone open and dialed his number for the third time.
Even if I leave you now (leave you now)
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around (not around)
I won't give in (won't give in)
I can't give up (can't give up)
I won't give in (won't give in)
I can't give up (can't give up)
On this love
"Please…just call me…okay?" Sakura eyes filled with tears. She let them fall once she hung up.
