++++++ Chapter 4: Useless +++++++++

********* Sakura's pov **********

I flinched as the Kahona gates appeared... Well what was left of the gates anyways. I gulped and tried to move but my body wouldn't allow me to. I jumped a bit when a hand softly rested on my back and gently pushed me forward. I looked to see Gaara gently urging me to keep going. My face heated and I slowly relaxed.

I hesitantly continued walking toward the gate. I gulped once more as we passed through the gate. It was nothing like I had left it. There were no more bodies scattered everywhere, beaten and shredded. We continued walking until the ruins of my house came into view. Surprisingly my house was still quite intact. We walked up and I opened the door. We walked in and made our way to my room. I quickly grabbed many things and stuffed them into a scroll. I looked up at my dresser to see a picture of the rookie nine and Neji's team. Before I knew it I could not hold in the pain and burst out crying.

I felt a hand grip my elbow and drag me toward the person. Gaara wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. I sobbed into his shirt and clenched it tight.

"I miss them! T-There g-gone!" I shuddered. His grip tightened but he said nothing. I gripped his shirt harder and buried my face in his shoulder.

"It h-hurts! So b-bad!" I shuddered. He let go of me but urged me forward. We walked out of the house scrolls in hand. We then silently made our way through the village to the gates. I stared at the floor. I was being weak, allowing myself to lose control of my emotions. I felt completely useless like this and I didn't like it.

A/N: Here ya go! Chapter 4. I hope you like it. I will hopefully update soon. Please let me know what you think and don't be afraid to ask questions.
