Sakura`s POV
8:00 AM

I awoke to screaming that morning. I heard guards outside my door trying to calm down the screamer, who sounded like Brittany. "STOP! Don`t let it touch me NEJI HELP ME AH!" I heard her screaming mixed with crying outside my door. I got out of bed, not caring what was wrong with her, and slammed my door open. She was on the ground rolling around holding her head crying. "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SCREAMING!" The guards were trying to hold her still so they could shoot her up with her medication.

I looked around the room at the others. Naruto glared at me like a hunter, so much for what he said last night. Kankuro and Neji were trying to help the guards with Brittany, who had a very concerned face for once. And Gaara sat on the couch, not even glancing at me, staring at his hand with a blank expression. What`s up with this place this morning? I walked around Brittany and the guards and went to sit beside Gaara. When I sat down, he stood up and walked off to my room, and slammed the door shut. Hell I`m not going to have this! We have practice today, and I need all I can get before I have to leave this place! I stood and went to my room. I walked in, grabbed Gaara by the hand, and led him out of our wing while letting the guards know. "Get off me!" He barked at me, but I just glanced at him with anger. I`m tired of these lunatics, it`s time I get what I want, I`m tired of giving! "Shut up! We need to practice" I yelled at him and tightened my grip while I drug him to the training grounds. He just stared at me with the same amount of anger.

Training Grounds

"This is stupid" Gaara stared at me with his arms crossed. "I mean it! Give it to me hard, like your going to kill me!" I readied my knives, and I watched his every move like a hawk. "I`m not stupid I`m not falling for that again!" I spun around and shoved my knife into Gaara`s chest. The one in front of me was a clone, and the one I just stabbed fell to the ground into a pill of sand. Shit. I felt my wrist being jerked. I spun around and there stood Gaara. "You just did." He smirked as sand was shoved into my side like a katana. "You did too stupid!" I laughed at him while I was now behind him. I punched the ground, which shattered. He jumped into the air on a cloud of sand. Damn!

I stood there helpless, for I couldn`t reach him, nor throw any attacks because of his sand shield. "Raise your weapon." He stood there on his cloud of sand with his arms crossed again. "Why should I do that? I can`t reach you anyways, pussy!" I smirked at him. "Because I give the lessons, remember?" I thought back to our first time fighting. Oh yes, I remember when he shoved like ten kunies into my back... and that night. My face flushed red and he looked confused.

I felt my cheek be sliced open by a flying object. "FOCUS!" he yelled at me. I could have sworn I saw his face turn red too. Let`s make this more interesting. I picked up one of the huge broken ground pieces that I had broken, and swung it up towards him. His sand cloud disappear and he landed onto the ground on his feet. "Good" he said, but then I felt sand wrap around my legs and torso, and this time my hands too. "Looks like you took my advice this time. So what? Are you going to squeeze my guts out or something?" I felt the sand around me harden as he walked up to me. Well now what do I do tehe? He walked up to me with a switch blade then sliced it across my throat, blood splattered everywhere, while my eyes widen. "Dumbass you really fall for those clones don`t you!?" I laughed as the kunie flew from my hand towards his back, which of course was blocked by a sand wall. "So tell me, if you weren`t sure that was a clone, does that mean your really trying to kill me?" "I knew" was his response.

Once practice was done I healed the both of us. In the end, I got badly hurt, but that`s ok I asked for it. "So...do you know how much longer you have here?" I asked him with a hint of sadness in my voice, that I hoped he didn`t catch on to, but regrettably he did. Silence was his only answer.

"Um well one more question... Why are you reading a book on Kazekage?" I was honestly curious about this since I saw that book, but didn`t know how to ask him about it.

"When I leave here...which is soon... I will become Kazekage" His face was serious, but yet I couldn`t help busting out laughing in his face! Was he serious!? I know I should be supportive but still haha!

"I`M NOT SCREWING WITH YOU" he yelled at me and turned to face me "You know that I`m an orphan, right? Well WRONG! Yes, both my parents are dead, but I have to take the place of my father! I`ve trained so hard, you have just never noticed the work I`ve done!" With that he disappeared in a cloud of sand leaving me feeling guilty and grains of sand left on the ground. I sat there, and stared at those pieces of sand grains that defined the guy that I`ve oddly become more attached to, for once making me regret being able to leave this place.
