When Sakura recovered, she found herself in her room. She looked around and saw Naruto and Sasuke sitting on chairs gazing into the moon out the window. "What are you guys doing here?" Sakura asked. Naruto turned round but Sasuke remained distant. "Oi Sakura-chan! How are you feeling?" Naruto asked. "I'm fine thanks." Sakura rubbed her forehead. "But I'm feeling kind of down." She said remembering what happened. "Oy, Naruto. Cheer Sakura up," Sasuke mumbled. "o-kaay!" Naruto grinned. "Sakura, prepare to laugh, datte bayo! The third-hokage was singing this in the shower." Naruto chuckled. Then he started dancing around singing the llama song.
"Here's a llama, there's a llama, and another little llama. Fuzzy llama, funny llama, llama llama duck! Llama llama cheesecake llama tablet brick potato llama llama llama mushroom llama llama llama duck! I was once a treehouse, I lived in a cake but I never saw the way the orange slayed the rake--!" Naruto sang the funny song as Sakura laughed so hard she was about to burst. She even heard a few chuckles coming from Sasuke. "llama llama llama--!" Naruto started to sing again but this time Sakura clubbed him with her fist. "Okay naruto that's kind of annoying now." Sasuke frowned.
Sakura's back itched like mad. She turned around to see what caused it to be so flaky and then… "AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" she screamed when she saw the blood engraved key on her back. "Oh yeah, -heh- about that key, Sakura-chan…" Naruto smiled nervously and scratched his head. "…to make a long story short, Gaara wants you to be his betrothed so when you were alone in the woods he came and he actually had this planned since he came to konoha… so the raccoon-dog inside him always bears this ancient blood-stained key called the 'sousete' which can link one person with an ancient sealed spirit and so now in 5 days you will be swept away from here and you will turn into a demon goddess and be Gaara's wife and he can call you honey and your going to have to marry him and cook for him –I don't know what demons like I'm guessing it's pasta- but then again you have to clean after him and buy semi-gloss high anti-allergic black L'Oreal eyeliner for gaara's eyes UNLESSSSSSS----" Naruto was talking so much and so fast that he was out of breath---"You have 4 days and 23 hours to convince Gaara to remove the key from your back but violence won't work because he's stronger than you. However, you can sweet-talk him or something otherwise you'll be Mrs. Sabaku no Gaara." Naruto said.
Sakura was silent. Fear shown through her eyes and she was trembling with fright. "Naruto let's go---it's getting late." Sasuke nudged Naruto with a tone that said –i-think-sakura-wants-to-be-alone-right-now. So they were gone. And Sakura was all alone. Again. "N-no! I don't want to leave konoha! I don't want to go with that freak! I'm scared!" Inner Sakura was yelling. The shutters banged and the stairs creaked. Sakura suddenly felt like someone was there. Suddenly, a note slipped under her door. Sakura slowly went there and picked it up. It was a secret code. AZ and ZA.

(Translation: Sakura, if you want to lose the curse-mark meet me at the academy at 12:00 alone.)
Who was sending this? Sakura had no clue. She had no choice but to meet this mysterious person or else she'd literally become a corpse bride. She looked at the clock. It was 11:30 p.m. Anxious…
Temari and Kankurou were chatting amongst themselves. "Why did Gaara pick her?" Temari was dead puzzled. "Well she is kind of cute." Kankuro smiled in a perverted way. "Yeah but…she is the TOTAL opposite of Gaara. Talkative, bright, happy, pink-haired and surrounded by people." Temari said. "Well maybe she shared the same pain as Gaara when she was little." Kankuro said as he got his fingers tangled in his chakra puppet strings. "How would you know?" Temari said. I dunno…" Kankuro took off his piggy hat thingy. ( nn ) He ran his hand through his brown hair. "Damn I don't think I'm ready for a sister-in-law. Jesus, I can't even handle having a real sister!" Kankuro wiped off his tattoos. "Hey!" Temari whacked her fan at Kankuro. "Owah!" he yelped. "I don't like pinky---she has got to go." Temari told her younger brother. "So what are we going to do about it?" Kankuro asked as he rubbed the bump he had on his head from Temari. Temari smirked. "One word…SABOTAGE."
It was 12:00 and Sakura was at the back of the academy schoolyard. She waited for the secret person, but he/she didn't come. It was freezing cold outside. Sakura decided she should go. She turned around and was about to walk away but then a tight grip on her wrist flung her around. "Konichiwa Haruno." A voice rang out. Sakura couldn't see much because she was so dizzy from the cold. She felt something licking her wrist and saw nothing but a hazy shade of yellow, black, and red.
