A/N: I apologize to the readers of this of this story. And to this story itself. I feel like I have neglected this story so I want to apologize. Also from now on my full attention goes to this story until it is complete.

"What is it Gaara?"

Gaara's face seemed to hold and expression somewhere between about to ask her to marry him or holding in a fart.

"I'm honored that you can come. My family really wants to meet you." Gaara said softly.

Sakura froze. "Your family wants to meet me? You told them about me?"

Sakura touched her throat after she choked out those words. Why did he tell his family about me? It's not like we're dating or anything…well we kind of are, but it's not serious enough to start meeting eachother's family is it? Especially his father! That no good piece of---

"Did I say something wrong?" He asked place a hand on her arm.

"Why does…is your family so interested in meeting me?"

"Simple. Your special to me."

Sakura blushed as their eyes met.

"Hey Gaara what's taking you so long! Dad made me drive down here just so I can pick your ass up!" Kankuro yelled from the car.

Sakura frowned at Kankuro. We were so close to a kiss until this guy has to come in a stupid…wait…this guy came in a limo!

"Gaara who's this? Driving the limo."

"Oh that's my brother, don't pay any mind to him." Gaara said squeezing her hand. He smiled and added, "He's just the limo driver after all."

"Screw you and get in the party already started." Kankuro snapped.

"Go on Sakura and get in." Gaara said opening one of the back doors.

"Aren't you going to get in with me?" Sakura asked putting on her seatbelt.

"Not yet. First I need to have a talk with the driver." He said making sure she was safely inside before shutting the door.

"How dare you!"

"What did I do?!" Kankuro whined.

"How dare you use language like that in front of my girl!"

Kankuro smiled. "Oh I didn't know that she was your girl Gaara. Is she like the last one?"

Gaara frowned. "Just drive and try to act like like you have manners."

"Sorry, not everyone can act as well as you can." Kankuro laughed.

Sakura fiddled with her seatbelt. I wonder what's taking Gaara so long? And I had no idea his family was so rich! How do you get so much money off of owning a diner?

Suddenly the door swung and Gaara plopped down on the seat next to her.

"Sorry, I don't know why it's taking so long to get to the party."

"I don't mind. So who's going to be at this party anyways? " Sakura asked staring out the window.

"Just a few family members like my sister and my uncle." Gaara said cheerfully. "Maybe some others too."

Sakura nodded and continued staring out the window. Every once I a while she would glance over to Gaara who was glaring over at the driver. Which the driver would glare back at Gaara and Gaara would tell him to keep his eyes on the road.

Finally after twenty minutes or so they pulled up to a huge house. "I never saw this house before." Sakura said getting out of the limo.

"Obviously you're not from here." Kankuro said annoyed.

"Just ignore him, well are you ready to go to the party?" Gaara said.

"This is your house?" Sakura asked walking up to the large wooden French doors. Inside she could see servants rushing around with platters of food, elegant furniture, and paintings on every wall.

"It's really my dad's."

"Oh."

Sakura entered the monsion, the ceilings were so high it seemed as if all the oxygen was up there. And that that was the reason people had to walk around with their noses pointed upward. But she knew that wasn't the reason.

"Gaara this place is…"

Gaara place one fringer over her lips. "You don't have to say it. I want you to come with me to meet someone very close to me."
