A/N: Thank you for the reviews!! this one is like really short. just a warning.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just Ami and her family.

Standing up for Gaara

I had been walking around the village for a few minutes, trying to find something to do since I was so bored, when I heard my name being called. "Ami! Hey Ami!" I turned around and saw Sakura. She ran up to me.

"Oh, hey Sakura!" I said smiling.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while." she said.

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I've just been busy with the exams and everything." I said. "So how's Sasuke?"

Sakura looked down. "I don't know. He's not allowed to have visitors yet."

"Oh." I said. I felt sorry for her. I could tell she cared about him a lot. There was someone else I wanted to know about. "What about Lee? Is he doing ok?"

Sakura looked up at me shocked. "I haven't gone to see him yet. but you actually care about him?"

"Well, I wanted Gaara to win and all," I said. "but Lees lucky Gaara didn't kill him." Which is true. I was very greatful that Lee was still alive. I didn't like when Gaara killed people.

There was silence for a few minutes. Then Sakura said "Hey, do you wanna walk around the village with me?"

I looked at her and smiled. "Sure."

"Then lets go!" she said smiling and we both walked off.

Me and Sakura were walking and talking when suddenly we heard yelling up ahead. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT HAVE MORE RAMEN!?"

"Huh?" we said. We looked up ahead and saw Naruto yelling at the chef at the ramen shop.

"You've already eaten 10 bowls. You don't need anymore!" the chef said.

"WHAT?!" Naruto yelled.

"Stop yelling Naruto." Sakura said as we walked up to him. Naruto looked over at us.

"Sakura! Ami! What are you doing here?"

"Well apparently listening to your yelling." I said.

"Haha. funny." he said sarcastically. A few seconds later he got a serious face. "So where's Gaara?"

I was about to answer when I saw sand out of the corner of my eye. "Huh?" I looked to my right and saw Gaara appear in his sand.

"You!" Naruto yelled angrily pointing at Gaara.

"What are you doing here Gaara?" I asked him.

"I got bored so I decided to see what you were doing." he said glaring at Naruto. It seemed like they were having a glaring contest. I looked at Naruto then at Gaara, and sighed.

"Well, I guess we'll leave you and Gaara alone." Sakura said. "Come on Naruto."

"No!" he yelled. "You! How could you do that to Lee!?"

Gaara closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "He deserved it."

"That's it!" Naruto yelled. He went to punch Gaara but I stepped in front of him. Naruto stopped right in front of me. Gaara was watching me now.

"Stop." I said.

Naruto was just staring at me. "But-"

"No." I said angrily. "You can't keep blaming Gaara. He was just doing what he was supposed to do. And if you recall, Gaara got pretty beat up too."

"Rrr...fine!" Naruto said glaring at Gaara.

"Come on Naruto." Sakura said grabbing his arm. She turned to me. "We'll see you later Ami. You too Gaara." Then she pulled him away.

I watched them go then sighed before turning to Gaara. "Why did you have to say that?"

"Say what?" he asked walking away.

"Hey!" I yelled but he just ignored me. I sighed and followed him.
