Chapter 2: Arrival

'inner Sakura'

'Shukaku'

Sakura's POV

I was still running through the thick forest. I was only ΒΌ of a mile away from the desert so I decided that it would be wise to set up camp for the night. Tomorrow was gonna be pretty rough roaming through the desert for most of the day. I threw down my sleeping bag, and started a fire so I could make myself some ramen before I entered my light state of unconsciousness. Just as I was slipping into my sleeping bag I heard a twig snap from about 6 yards away. I jumped out of my sleeping bag with a kunai in hand. I decided to get this over with, because I only felt one chakra. "Come on out you coward!" I yelled.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Somebody is impatient aren't we?" The stranger answered back with a bit of sarcasm.

He came out after saying this to reveal that he had a headband from the Village Hidden in the Mist. He looked to be a chuunin. Wow. This wasn't gonna be challenging. He was taller than her. Maybe he's a chuunin that can't pass the jounin exams yet. He better be ready for a beating!

While in my very own world of thinking my Inner yelled, 'WATCH OUT!'

A kunai came speeding towards me. I quickly caught it between my index and middle finger, throwing it to the ground. The chuunin started forming hand signs. I took this as a good opportunity, and pumped chakra into my hands and feet. I landed one hard punch in his face. He slammed into the ground with blood oozing out of his nose. Victory to none other than my self. I walked over to the chuunin that lay on the ground and yelled, "Obliterate no Jutsu!" With that the enemy disappeared. I decided to go ahead and get a small amount of sleep before I took off to Suna again tomorrow.

~~Time Skip~~

It was night time by the time I reached Suna. A three day trip had been minimized to two days. I was pretty proud of myself for this. I walked up to the gate only to be rudely greeted, may I add. "What is your business here?" A shinobi shouted right in my face.

"I am on here as a mission from Konaha." I replied.

"Please go in and report to the Kazekage Tower immediately!" The same guy shouted back.

I walked into the streets of Suna only to be whistled at by various men. I wasn't gonna do anything until some one grabbed my ass. I grabbed hold of his hand, and bent his wrist back without breaking it. He let out a gasp of pain. "Now what were you doing with your hand?" I said evilly.

"I-I-I'm s-s-so s-sorry," the man stammered out in pain.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," I replied back dropping his hand, continuing my journey to the Kage Tower.

I entered the building to be greeted by a kind elderly woman. She smiled at me and asked what I needed. All I had to do was tell her my mission, and she replied with just showing me the way to the Kazekage's office. "Just knock twice, and he should allow you to enter," the old woman said softly.

I did as told, and knocked twice to hear a husky voice reply {"Come in."

I walked into the office. The Kage's chair was faced toward the window. He slowly turned his chair around. He had a document in hand. He looked up to see if Tsunade had sent him a successful-looking Medic-Nin. I was shocked to see a red headed, sea foam eyes sitting there. When he looked up, he was pissed to see a pink haired, green-eyed girl sitting in front of him. "Where in my Medic ninja?" He asked roughly, obviously mad that he saw me.

"Um, your lookin' at her," I said madly.

"Go away."

"No! Just because you think that I was weak before doesn't mean I haven't gotten any stronger."

"Yeah, sure. That's like me saying that I'm as nice as an angel."

"Well I'm here on a mission, and I plan on completing it whether you like it or not!"

Gaara sighed knowing how stubborn I was, "Alright, but if you don't make fairly good Medics, I will slap you."

"Oh, yeah. Well if I do then I will slap you!"

He was shocked that she would even think about touching him. He just nodded, and took her over to his mansion where he lived with his two siblings. Right when Gaara opened the door to his house, I heard a crashing noise. "Temari! That Hurt!" I heard Kankuro scream.

"Shut up, Kankuro you shouldn't have made fun of my cooking!" Temari yelled back. At least I wasn't going to be in a house with just men.

Gaara, and I waled into the house, it was gorgeous! Who would have thought that Gaara would live in a house a beautiful as this. Well, then again Temari does live here too. "Sakura!" I was enveloped into a bone-crushing hug, "What are you doing here?" Temari asked.

"C-c-can't b-breath," I gasped out.

"Oh, hehe. Sorry," she replied with a small smile.

Gaara showed me to the room that I was going to sleep in, and my bathroom. He left me to do what I needed before I went to sleep.

Given the opportunity, I ran into the shower. The hot water massaged all of my tense muscles. I loved the feeling. I just wanted to go to sleep in the shower. I ignored the thought and got out of the shower about ten minutes later.

I walked out of the shower in a towel, because I forgot extra close. In this process I ran into a soft, warm chest. Looking up, I saw a fiery red head with an emotionless face. Well, that was until he looked down and saw me in a towel. "I-I-I'm sorry!" I stuttered to get out.

"It's fine Haruno. Calm down." He said in a calming voice.

"Sorry Kazekage-sama,"

"Gaara. Call me Gaara."

"If you call me Sakura, then ok.

With that I walked off into my room blushing. I threw on some pajamas, and went into a light sleep.

Well that's it for the Chapter. I sincerely apologize for the shortness, but I was really excited to get this chapter out. Review if you would:)

Love,

Bell:)
