A/N: Most of the chapters have been short and I'm sorry about that. I'll try to make this one longer and thank you Tara-chan and Dachusand! And sorry for not updating in a while!
Chapter four: Dream
Strong arms wrapped around her as gruff lips placed themselves against her own.The arms swung Sakura around as they danced in a large empty room. She laid her head against his chest, listening to him whisper. "Sakura, you look amazing tonight." She gave no reply but a loving look up at him. "Thank you, Kankurou." She kissed him softly. The two danced, swinging back and forth as if the whole night was contributed to them.

Sakura jolted upright in her bed, pink down banket and sheets falling down, revealing her red shorts and white shirt. Walking over to her vanity she looked at herself in the mirror, she looked awful. Her hair was a mess from tossing and turning. "Augh." She grabbed her CD player and walked into the bathroom. Blasting the music up high, her Daughtry CD blaring throughout the house. Walking into the shower the water fell down on her, warming her skin. The lyrics jolted through her ears and she felt soothed.
You used to talk to me like I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
Sakura ran her hands down her soaked hair in the shower as the music flowed. Memories of her dream flowing through the bathroom in harmony to the song. 'The masculine arms twisted around her waist, towing her to the music. Their foreheads touching as the danced around. Sakura's mind clear as she moved in unison with Kankurou.'
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?
'"I never thought I'd be dancing with such a beauty." Kankurou whispered into her ear, earning himself a smile. "And I never thought I'd be dancing with such a strong shinobi." He twirled her around and she felt amazing. Her body seemed weightless as she danced with the sand-ninja.'
I used to reach for you when I got lost along the way.
I used to listen.
You always had just the right thing to say.
I used to follow you.
Never really cared where we would go,
Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.
The second verse pulled her out of her trance as she heard a loud knock erupt from downstairs. "Shoot." She turned off the water and wrapped a towel around her tightly. Running out to the balcony she noticed it as Kankurou. "Oi! Kankurou! I'm in the middle of a shower. Just stay there for like... Three minutes." She called down, leaning over the balcony.
Kankurou looked up to see Sakura in a towel. "Oh. Sorry." He returned and leaned again the wall to the house as Sakura rushed back to her shower.
By then the song was finished and Sakura hurried to wash her hair and skin. Turning off the water she dried down her body and threw her shorts and shirt on. Nearly jumping down the stairs to the door she opened it. "Kankurou!" He jumped and turned. "Sakura-chan... I got these for you. I heard you liked lilies." He hande her thre lilies.
Sakura took them with a wide smile. "Thank you, Kankurou-kun. Come in." They walked into her house and Sakura walked to the sink. Filling a vase she put the lovely flowers in it and set them on the table. "So, what brings you here this early Kankurou?" She asked, walking out to the living room where he was.
A simple reply was returned to her with one word. "You."
