Hello to all he have read this story ^^ and all I can really say is thank-you! I'm sorry about not updating sooner… I was getting lazy and also I thought people were getting bored with my story because I didn't get that many reviews. I have low self-esteem when it comes to my writing. T.T So if you want more and faster updates than REVIEW like there's no tomorrow! Or else you'll make me sad. TT^TT

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! If I did Sakura would be like going out with almost the entire male cast. Also I'm sorry I forgot to put the declaimer on some of my chapters I have bad memory… ON WITH THE STORY! ENJOY!

"Well if there's nothing else for me to do, I'll be leaving than," Sasuke announced, "it's getting pretty late." He noted.

I nodded my head in agreement.

"Oh yeah, Haruno… If you ever told anyone about this incident I will hunt you down and kill you." He threatened me with a voice filled with malice.

I unconsciously took a step back out of fear, but soon regained my confidence.

"Oh don't worry, Chicken-Ass!" I grinned at the nickname "I won't tell anyone that the human-ice cube showed any other emotion other than hate and indifference." I said in a baby voice.

"You better not or else."

"Or else what?" I asked to annoy him.

"Or else I'll follow through with my threat of cutting your tongue off." He said as he walked away slightly giving a wave goodbye.

'Note to sel- Stop messing with Sasuke." I thought, "wait on second thought that's no fun … Cancel previous thought.'

I stood there for a few minutes before deciding to head for the training grounds not wanting to head home just yet. As I strolled towards the training area my thoughts wondered to a subject, that for now I wished to avoid, but your brain never does what you want. Ever.

'I wonder how Gaara's been since I last seen him…' My mind than went black, as if in a trance I started walking in a random direction not sure about where I was going at all.

'Why is my body moving by its self?' I frantically searched for the answer in the depths of my mind 'Stop moving stupid!' I ordered myself 'Why aren't you listening?!?' I screamed in my mind.

My body continued to walk in the direction of a secluded grassy hill like area. By the time I received full control of my body back it was already night time and not a single star was shining in the sky. I looked up 'A star less night,' I sighed, 'how long has it been since I last saw a bleak sky like this?' My stare stayed on the sky, not noticing the pair of eyes watching my every move from behind my back. 'Cleary not long enough… I hate nights like this… They-they remind me of the night I arrived back to Konoha after...' I shook my head trying to rid myself of horrible memories.

"Is something wrong my Cherry Blossom?" A monotone voice asked me.

Shivers were sent down my spine. I tried as hard as I could to face him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I still feared him and just seeing his face could send me into a mental breakdown.

"G-g-gaara," I studded my back still facing towards him.

"Why aren't you facing me?" He asked. "You know it's rude to have your back to someone when they're talking," he took a pause waiting for me to turn around, but I didn't. He growled in displeasure, "especially when the person is your master." He had hate emanating from his whole being.

"S-s-sor-r-ry-y" I apologized, I trembled his aurora intimidating me.

"Sakura," he whispered my name, "turn around…" He ordered, he again waited for me to obey but I was still too afraid to try.

"Sakura." He said louder.

"Turn. Around!" After a tiring endeavor on my part my body finally listened to me and moved. I looked at Gaara studying how much he changed, something I was not able to do before due to my earlier shock.

"Sakura, I don't believe that I should have to wait for you to follow my commands." He said.

"I-I'm s-sorry." I again apologized.

"Sorry for what?" He asked.

"F-f-for not d-doing w-w-w-what y-you told m-me." I answered.

There was silence as Gaara looked at me; I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.

"Wrong answer." His face and voice displaying annoyance.

"W-what?" I asked nervously.

"You should be sorry for that show of emotions you had with that Uchiha brat." He hissed, all his hate and anger aimed at only one target. Me. "You should only show that much emotion to me." He continued.

"B-b-but Sasuke i-is my fr-friend." I tried explaining to him.

"Friend? A friend is someone who you have a personal attachment to. Are you telling me that you actually care for him?" He interrogated me, "haven't I already told you that people can't express love or any good feelings at all?"

I gingerly nodded my head.

"Do you have a relationship with him?"

"Well we a-are f-f-friends if th-that's what y-you mean."

"So you're his friend?" He growled. He walked up to my trembling figure, he may have been somewhat short but he was still tall enough to tower over me. He took a fistful of my hair and pulled it. I whimpered in pain as tears began to resurface up to my eyes again. He pulled harder and I screamed, with my body in pain how could I not?

"Sakura." He said his voice deep and strained.

"You belong to me! Not that Uchiha or anyone else!" He yelled with an unknown emotion coating his voice. He released my hair and I fell to the floor, pain still flowing in my body.

"You belong to me." He repeated, but this time it seemed different as if he wasn't trying to remind me, but more like reinsure himself. He turned his searing and frightening gaze away from me and onto the patch of grass beside me.

"Mine." He whispered. There it was that very same emotion came out of his mouth appearing itself in his voice, trying to make itself known. His eyes were cold but another thing was shown in them. What is it?

"G-gaara." I said my vocals still sore from my load scream from before. I tried to push myself off the ground and walk towards him, but right before I was next to him he disappeared in a whirl of sand, but before he left he said one last thing,

"The next time I see you again I expect you to remember our talk, don't you dare forget it."

I was then left alone on the hill by myself left to think about all the actions that led up to this moment.

'Gaara,' I thought sadly, 'when will finally look at people and feelings in a different light?'
