"Sakura-Chan what is your relationship with that Gaara-Freak?" Naruto asked, wanting an answer.

"Cool it Dope. We have to get Haruno here to a hospital." Sasuke reminded.

'Wow! Thank you Sasuke! Maybe you're not as heartless as I thought you were.' I thought, a glimmer of hope appearing for the avenger.

'Maybe I should stop calling him a gay.' I pondered.

"So make the story quick Haruno." Said the lone Uchiha.

'There goes my hope, might as well kiss it good-bye. Like I thought he is a gay avenger.' I sighed. My hope was shattered.

"Are you sure we can't delay this till later?" I begged.

"No." They both said with very serious expressions on both their faces.

"Naruto! I think I heard Ichiraku was having an all you can eat ramen today. In fact I think it's starting right now!" I lied through my teeth.

"Really!?!? Well she's all yours Teme! Later!" Naruto disappeared at an amazing speed leaving only a trail of dust behind.

"Well you got the Dope to go away. Baka. Now why don't you tell me how you and that sand nin know each other?" Sasuke suggested.

"I guess telling you that Itachi is in the forest won't get rid of you?" I asked.

"No," he said with no emotions on his face "and don't even kid about that unless you don't want to live to see tomorrow."

"I at least gave it a shot." I sighed.

"Stop stalling Sakura!" He if he ever called me by my first name he was either worried or pissed off.

"Fine I'll tell you. My father was sent out on a mission to Suna and he brought me with him. That's where I met Gaara and," I took a pause trying to gather all my thoughts. "Gaara was my first friend…He was actually really nice, but he changed. I don't know what happened to him, but I just wish I could have helped him." I looked up to the sky a sad smile developed onto my face.

"On the last day I was in Suna Gaara made me promise him something."

"And what was that?" Sasuke inquired.

"I will only love him. I will die for him. I will do anything he wants without hesitation. I will belong only to him." I repeated the words he had said to me.

"Sakura you will only love me. You will only die for me. You will do anything for me without hesitation. You will only belong to me!" His words plagued my mind.

"Sakura why would you promise him that?" Sasuke asked with a bitter and sad tone in his voice.

I was shocked, 'Why would he care? Should I go any further?' My mind told me not too, but I decided to answer his question none the less though.

"Well Sasuke I guess it really wasn't a promise as in a command. Like a master would tell his dog and the master would expect his dog to follow through. You see this collar on my neck?" I asked as pointing at it.

"In this case of the master and the dog, I am the dog. I follow my master's orders like any other dog would. I have an owner like any other dog does. I protect my master like any other dog. I am expected to love my master like any other dogs. But I fear my master and no other dog does though." My body and mind was filled with all types of emotions.

"Sakura…" Sasuke gulped.

"There is no escape from this, Sasuke. The only thing I can hope for is to try to get away, but in the end be found. Although things are like this I cannot help but feel sorry for Gaara."

"Why would you feel bad for him!?! Like you said you are his dog and he is the master!" Sasuke hissed.

"Because the same day I was branded his pet with this collar I also learned how twisted his reality became! He told me that love is nothing more than an illusion!" I yelled.

"I may be afraid of him, but I very well can't leave him like that with his state of mind! Sasuke, do you know why I constantly argue with you?" I asked him.

He shook his head.

"It's because just like Naruto I value the importance of having strong bonds with people. I feel like if I could make a lot of bonds and friends with people maybe Gaara would understand that love is not just an emotion but something you need to survive." My voice was shaky and broke at a few parts.

"Sakura, I never knew, but then why are you so scared of him?!?" Sasuke questioned.

"I know and even though I'm trying to help him, I can't help but tremble at the sight of him. When I look at him I can't help but remember the pain he's inflicted on me all those years ago." Tears gently steamed down my pale face.

I looked over to Sasuke and saw his eyes filled with emotions of hate, sorrow, and understanding, while his demeanor didn't change at all. He grabbed my arm and forced me into a bone crushingly tight hug. I buried my head onto his shoulder and cried to my heart's content.

'Even though Sasuke could act all calm and uncaring he really cherished his friends, even if he'd never admit to it.'

My tears soon subsided and I began to giggle and laugh.

"Thanks Sasuke." I said.

"Hn." He replied.

"For helping me smooth out my emotions I'll never call you Sas-Gay again!" I cheered happily.

"You better, because of all your crying my shirt's all drenched."

"But I'll stick to the name Chicken-Butt and continue to pick meaningless and countless fights with you!" I yelled.

"Yeah you- Wait what!?!" He cried.

"You're almost as bad as Naruto sometimes, I swear." Sasuke mumbled while I just laughed.

"That reminds me do you think Naruto's figured I was lying about the ramen?" I asked.

"Probably not and who cares?" Sasuke answered.

Somewhere else in Konoha.

"Hey Naruto you better keep working for all that ramen you ate!" Ordered a very angry and displeased ramen stand owner.

"But I told you that Sakura said it was an all you could eat ramen!" Naruto pleaded.

"I don't care who told you that nonsense! Now get to work!"

"SAAAAAKKKKKURRRRRAAAAA-CCCHHHHHHHAAAAAANNNN! WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT RAMEN!!!??? THE RAMEN IS A LIE!" Naruto shouted and cried into the afternoon sky.

Back to Sasuke and Sakura.

"Did you hear something?" I asked Sasuke.

"Nope, probably just some idiot." Sasuke said.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"You're probably right."
