Argg, so sorry my apologies. It's so short /shakes head/ I'll update another, hopefully longer chapter later today...or tomorrow...depends on how lazy I am.
It was raining; Sakura lay on the bed shaking with fear, tears running down her face.
Oh god, it's raining. Stop, please go away. I'm so scared, stop!
Sakura stumbled out of bed and out into the hallway, her hand slightly gracing Gaara's door. She ran quickly downstairs and threw the front door open. She ran into the lawn, the cool grass bristled and tickled her feet. She outstretched her arms and stared up into the blurry midnight sky.
It was so nice out, and she didn't feel afraid. Her screams could be heard, and she was out in the open. Someone would be able to see her if anything happened. The cool wind picked up her hair and tugged it teasingly. Sakura shivered, goose bumps forming on her arms but she ignored the cold. It wasn't bothersome; it just showed that she was alive.
Gaara bolted upright, he heard a noise. He quickly and silently jumped out of bed and cautiously went downstairs. Surprised he found the door opened. He moved outside and saw Sakura standing in the middle of the lawn; her hands outstretched staring up into the heavens above.
"S-Sakura?" Gaara whispered, she turned suddenly her eyes full of fear, her body quivering, and tears or was that rain, pouring down her face.
"I…am so alone. Men are evil. Please hold me. I'm so scared…" Sakura whimpered a battle on her face, emotions and within her own words. She stumbled towards Gaara grabbing the front of his shirt and fell into his surprised arms.
Gaara stared at the sobbing girl that clung to him desperately in shock. No one had ever really wanted to touch him, of course except Temari…and Ino but she definitely did not count. He scooped Sakura up and carried her back into the house, her hands still interlocked with his shirt and her head against his chest.
He quietly re-entered the house and lay Sakura down onto Temari's bed. He tried to move but she murmured something.
"No…I'm so scared…please…don't leave," Sakura whispered, her voice soft and breathy. Gaara stared at her in surprise, she appeared to be sleeping…and yet here she was awake. Gaara lay carefully back onto the bed, and Sakura moved closer to his warmth, a sudden content smile on her face.
She was silent, her breathing even, her fingers moving slightly, her face peaceful.
"I hate the rain," She whispered, "I'm pathetic, but it's so scary. It makes me remember what he did to me,"
Gaara stared at her in surprise, why was she telling him this? What could possibly make her want to talk to him? She looked like she was sleeping, so peaceful and serene, yet here she was talking-
"I'm so scared of him, he always haunts my dreams and he's tainted my memories. I hate him, he ruined me, he ruined my life, my happiness, my innocence," Sakura whispered angrily, her peaceful expression changed into one of pure confusion and pain.
Everything clicked together, she was sleep talking. How weird, Gaara though, girl's are so strange. And he listened, he listened as she told the story of what happened to her, of how her life changed, of her fear of men, and of how he, Gaara, is the only man she has ever met sine the incident that doesn't really scare her.
Her voice was soft, never house, she didn't talk non stop. She would talk a little, pause here and there, and continue to talk. Sometimes she didn't make sense, and sometimes her words were just pretty words creating a meaningless but beautiful sentence.
Finally, he couldn't stay any longer; he couldn't bare the sight of her, of her beauty, her past, of her pretty yet meaningless words. They reminded him so much of- no stop, don't remember. He pushed her carefully away from him, and left the room to enter his own. He fell onto his bed, his eyes closed, his blood racing, and his head throbbing.
What the hell was going on? What was she doing to him? Why her, her of all people? Why did she choose him? He was broken, he was imperfect, and he wasn't worth her. He lay on his bed, his eyes closed, lost in thought.
Suddenly the door quietly swung open. He kept his eyes closed; someone entered his room and closed the door, he opened his eyes slightly, it was Sakura. What was she doing? Why was she here? Why couldn't she leave me alone? Just leave…me alone…
Pinky promise, next chapter will be longer

Much Love,
