Recap:Gaara paused from kissing her neck and she stared at him as he glared at the blinds letting light in.Sakura's eyes open a bit more when they shut in a slam and the room was dark-but she could tell that he was grinning.


Chapter Ten:Affliction.

Tuesday.

Sakura woke up and looked to her side and there was Gaara.He was sleeping on his stomach with one arm hanging of the side of the bed.She smiled and then it hit her.

She got the blanket and raised it,my god,"it happened.."she said a bit embarrased.

"Yes it did."Gaara turned around only to see Sakura scrambling on her bed trying to cover her chest,he gave a small laugh,"fine I won't look.."he said digging his face on the pillow.Sakura stared at him for a moment and then she went to her drawers to get some clothes,she turned around and saw Gaara with a smile.She covered herself,"GAARA!"she threw him a pillow and he got knocked off the bed.


Sasuke walked down the stairs with circles around his eyes,he looked and saw Teamri sitting on the couch-sleeping.He sighed and walked past her but noticed something,a picture.It was that picture that he saw Temari had-when Gaara pinned Sakura to the wall with his had,"..myself.."he whispered.

"Sasuke?"Teamri said yawning,she rubbed her eyes and the picture was infront of her face,where Sasuke held it.

"Why do you have a picture of me.."he whispered,she turned red and snatched the picture away from him,"..Temari"she tried to stand up but Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder making her sit down.

"..."


"Sorry.."she said a bit embarrased.Gaara stood up and looked at Sakura,who had her head against the wall and her back towards him,her nails dug through the wall.,"..pants.."she whispered.Gaara forgot entirely that they were both-not dressed.

Sakura ran into the bathroom and inhaled rather loudly,she stepped inside the shower and turned the water on,"You're in the way of my shampoo-"

"AH!!"Sakura backed up against the tile covered wall and Gaara sighed,"...okay,it's just you..gah...you scared me.."she said a she handed him his shampoo.


"Did you hear that scream?"Temari said pointing upstairs,"I'm going to go check it out-"

"They're probably having intercourse again...excuse my french but bastards didn't let me sleep last night.."Sasuke sat on the couch next to Temari.He exhaled loudly and closed his eyes.

"That explains the circles around your eyes."She said,Sasuke smiled,"..well...I have it because.."she twiddled her thumbs.

"...Because.."Sasuke said as he looked at the picture,his hair battling against the breeze and his dark stare.

"I..pretty much.."she hesitated and looked at him staring riht back at her,"love...you.."she whispered and looked at the ground.

"Okay"he said giving her back the picture,she shot her head up.

"Huh...okay?that's it?!"she stared at him in disbelief.He smirk and gave her a peck on her cheek.

"Well everyone knows how we feel about each other-I just needed to hear it."Sasuke said standing up as he went to the kitchen.Temari sat on the couch alone.

"...Everyone?"she repeated.

"Temari..are you ready for school..."Sakura said as she walked down-fully clothed of course- drying her hair with a towel.

"Sakura...it's noon...we're not going anywhere..atleast..not these next days.."she understood-it was almost saturday-That day.Just a few days left,four days to be exact.

Gaara walked down witha towel over his head and he looked at the two girls,"It's fine"he said looking at Sakura.She turned to look at him.

"No it's not."she replied going into the kitchen.

"Have fun yesterday"Temari said giving a sly smile at her brother.Gaara turned a bit pink and threw the towel at his sister's face as he walked into the kitchen.Sasuke was drinking a packet of blood(with a bendy straw!) and Sakura sat next to him eating buttered toast.She was currently staring at Sasuke,amazed.

"Gaara are you going to make Sakura a vampire.."Sasuke said looking at him,"she has the mark."

"I don't want her to be damned-"Gaara said going to the fridge taking out a packet of blood,he felt his fangs come out and he punched two holes on the bag and began to drink,"so no"he said looking at Sakura.

"Let me see your fangs.."Sakura said to Gaara,he gave a small laugh and then grinned-he had to anyways,"..sweet..I wish I was a vampire.."she said sighing.

Gaara and Sasuke stared at her intensly,"you're insane"Sasuke said taking a sip,"being us..is not fun."

"Well it is sometimes."Gaara replied,"we scare town people.."

"You should have seen what Gaara and Sasuke used to do when they were newborns.."Temari said coming in and taking a seat,"they talked to people while they were sleeping...making them go crazy.."Sasuke nearly chocked on the blood he was drinking and gave a smile.

"Is that bad.."Sakura said looking at the two.

"It is when you whisper to a person 'I'm gonna eat you..' "Temari said glaring at Gaara who was expressionless,"Gaara,here, used to tell people that they would die..and in the end they would be all paranoid and gone mad.."Sakura looked at the two.

"How cruel..."Sakura said,"sounds like fun"she finished taking another bite of her toast.


Wednesday.

Sakura and Gaara were walking down the sidewalk and stopped for some ice cream,"do you know..what time.."Sakura asked looking at Gaara,bit sad.

"At eight."he said licking his raspeberry ice cream,"in the morning"

"Why so early.."she asked,"why didn't you make it-so we could spend some time together that day-"

"It would be harder for me and you...you know that."he said looking at her as they sat on a bench,"I want to spend time with you...without knowing I'm going to die the same day"he said as she nodded.

"I don't want you to do this-"

"We already had this conversation."Gaara said taking a bite of the cone.(Vampires lik ice cream too.)

"I know...it's just hard...to accept this."She said giving a sigh and licked her ice cream,"I don't want you to die."

Gaara wrapped his arm around her,"I just want you to know..I love you"

"I know that."Sakura said smiling,"..I love you"she said giving him a kiss.


Thursday

Gaara was wide awake,it was 1 AM in the morning and he held Sakura in an embrace.She slept with a sad smile across her face and was embracing Gaara back.

He breathed in her scent and memorized it,along with all of her features.She smelled just like cinnamon, he loves cinnamon.Even more so now.He brushed the back of his hand against her cheek-she moved slightly and Gaara paused.Her breathing pattern was back to normal-he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Gaara I can't sleep"Gaara's eyes grew slightly wide-how did he not realize she was awake.

----

Temari sat up and looked at the clock 5 AM..she sighed,why did she wake up?she layed back down and felt an arm on her waist,she froze,"it's just me.."Sasuke said giving a sigh.Temari grew a blush and tried to go back to sleep.


Friday

Gaara and Sakura layed on their bed,hugging each other.They were wide awake-for hours,but none of them moved,none of them spoke.They just stayed like that,savoring this moment.It was 8 AM,Sakura gripped Gaara and he did so also.She kissed is shoulder and felt him shudder.


Temari and Sasuke were in the kitchen,they were quiet and drank their blood packets,"we have a long day ahead of us"Sasuke commented.

"That we do"Temari replied staring at the table,Sasuke took her hand,"I'm fine."

"No you're not"he said looking at her.She sighed and looked at the picture that was on the fridge.Kankuro,her,and Gaara.

"Hey guys"Kankuro said dropping his luggage on th floor.Temari and Sasuke stared at him-what.the.-

"Kankuro?"Temari whispered to herself amazed.He looked so different.He no longer wore that black suit-instead he was wearing a black long sleeved shirt with dark blue jeans.His brown hair was shoulder lenght and he was taller-slimmer.,"What the hell are you doing here."she said.

"I missed you too"Kankuro replied as he sat down,"a couple now are we?well I'm here because they need an execution."Sasuke and Temari stared at him,"by tomorrow...so I'm here to do it."

"What...time.."Sasuke said amazed that he could even say anything,Don't say eight.don't say eight.Kankuro scratched his head.

"I have one at Eleven-"Sasuke and Temari grew smiles,"but my first one is at eight"the smiles vanished from their faces.


"I love you"Sakura said hugging him-her heart was racing.Her mind was out of control with thoughts of him and what's going to happen.Gaara gave her a kiss.

"My love for you is beyond words..beyond any I love you"Gaara said,after these days they got even more closer than ever.This was going to be hard-very.Sakura breathed in his woodly scent and looked up at him.

"What is it.."she asked.Gaara looked at the door as if waiting for someone to kick it open.

"I think...my brother is here.."Gaara stood up and so did Sakura.

"HEY LITTLE BRO- what the.."Kankuro slammed the door open and saw Gaara.No shirt,black sweats.Some girl,tank top and shorts,"..."Kankuro looked at Gaara.

"Kankuro?what are you doing here?"

"Can't anyone say 'Hi,I missed you'"Kankuro rubbed his head,"I'm here for-"

"NO!"Temari threw him on the floor and hit him on the head with a stick.Kankuro was no unconsious.

"...Temari...what was that.."Gaara said a bit confused that his sister just attacked her brother.Temari stood up and Sasuke came running in.

"What the hell?"he said looking at Temari,"I said knock him out!not KILL him"he semi shouted at her.Temari threw the stick out the window-which was closed,so she broke Gaara's window.

"..."Gaara stared out the window and then heard screaming and shouting;'my eye!',"..Temari..Sasuke.."Gaara said looking at them.Sakura too was confused,she knelt down beside Kankuro and felt his heart beat.

"He has no heartbea-"they stared at her"..sorry..I forgot."she said standing up,she grabbed Gaara's hand and held it.


Kankuro glared at Temari and looked at Gaara,"I had no idea it would be you Gaara"he whispered.He looked at Sakura,"so it's for her-"

"For Sakura"Gaara corrected him,Kankuro gave a scowl.

"Gaara-you could just move to another city-"Kankuro took a breath,"you're not being fair on yourself...you can still change you choice-it's not late"

"I already made it."Gaara said gripping Sakura's hand,she held back the tears that were dying to come out.

"We can't change his mind-he's stubborn"Sasuke said looking at Gaara,he sighed and looked to Temari.

"I'm..sorry..."Kankuro said looking at Gaara's eyes that held so many emotions-he's never seen that before.Ever,"but..I already said yes..and I can't change it..it's too late for me..."

"I like that you're the one who's going to kill me"Sakura felt her heart fragmentize when she heard him say that,she bit her lip,"you're my brother."Gaara looked at Sakura and quickly embraced her.He whispered something in her ear and that made her bawl.She lost it-why did it have to be tomorrow.

Why did this even have to happen.

It was her fault-she provoked him,"Gaara"she said wipping away her tears,"I should get punished-I made you do that-"she stopped once Gaara gave her a glare so cold,she felt that she were a vampire herself.

"Don't say that.It's my decision."Gaara said cupping her chin.

Kankuro stared at the two-Gaara wasn't heartless anymore,he has feelings.What a terrible way to think of a brother but it was true,"Let's..just spend as much time as we can..shall we.."Kankuro said looking at everyone,they nodded.


11PM,Friday night.

Gaara layed his head against the pillow and Sakura wrapped her arms around him,he traced her jaw with his fingers,"Please don't do this"she muffled as she began to cry.Gaara hugged her.

"Sakura..please..don't.."Gaara said making her look up to him,he gave her a kiss.Slow but so much passion into it,Sakura kissed him back and Gaare deepened it.Both were yearning for each other-so much more then other times.Especially since they didn't have much time left.

Gaara undid each other her buttons on her shirt,that moment Sakura remembered what Gaara whispered to her.

"Sakura"his breathed tickled her ear,but this was no laughing matter,"I'll love you til my last breath takes you from me"

"Sakura"Gaara said moaning in between their kisses,"you're the best thing that ever happened to me.."he said his voice thick with affection.Sakura took his face into her hands and gave him a long kiss,"I'll love you..unitl my last breath takes you from me"she said as she continued to kiss him,"I actually breathe"she said and with that said Gaara felt a tear of his roll down his cheek,she wipped the blood away and they stared at each other.

Gaara turned to look at the lights and they were gone in a glash.


Sasuke knew this would be happening-that's why he's sleeping downstairs.


Tried to add some humor,and seriousness in some parts.Like the ending with the couple-serious

The quote that Gaara said is from Chiodos,"Expired In Goreville"

Good song- I immediately thought Gaara saying that to Sakura.

Phew...one more chapter left.
