A/N: WOW!! Slow down peoples!!! geeze...ya think i'm crazy or something??? Meeelll maybe but i WOULDN'T KILL GAARA!!! That's just wrong, and it would spoil my super dooper ending! So Sakura's been raped by that stupid chicken-butt-bastard but bright side GAARA RIPPED HIS HEAD OFF! but Sasuke managed to kill Gaara...or did he???? 0 THIS IS THE LAST CHAPPIE PEOPLES! ENJOYYYYY!!!!
Gaara felt a rythmic thudding echo through his head, and groggily opened one eye to stare blankly at a chest of drawers...
"W...t...f...Where the hell am I?", he grumbled, lifting his hand up to block a peircing ray of sunlight through the closed window shade. A warm hand touched his bare back and he turned over, wincing slightly at the stabbing pain near his kidneys. His arms involuntarily fell upon a warm, heavenly curved body snuggled against his bare chest.
"Oh, it seems my sandman is awake...how are you feeling?", Sakura asked, entwining her petite but scarred hands with his. Gaara attempted a smile and tightened his grip.
"I feel...weird. I dun'no how to explain it-", his out-loud thoughts silenced by a slender finger on his wind parched lips.
"I know...the doctors had to do a lot of work, they even asked the trainies in to help... But they say it'll be alright to stand in a few weeks", Sakura cooed as she gently ran her fingers through his bruised scalp. The blows Sasuke had delivered left massive bruising, big, blue blotches contrasting through his bright red hair.
"What I don't understand is how i actually got here...", he said questioningly. Sakura looked a little shifty.
"Let's just say a little reinforcment helped me along the way...".
"And the wounds...I know that bastard ripped me up good...", he said, taking a questionable look at his perforated stomach. One long, jagged line snaked it's was across his stomach like a lightining bolt and was atiched together with green stitches. He looked up at her with an elegantly arched, non-existant eyebrow. She sniggered.
"I told them you'd like it if they were green, then maybe you'll leave them alone...", she giggled, snuggling closer and looping her hands around his neck. He smiled.
"I knew I chose the right woman...", he chuckled, before giving her a small peck on the cheek.
"Was it realy necissary to rip him to pieces though? I mean...there was nothing to cremate, let alone bring back to Konoha as evidence", she glared at him. His face went cold and emotionless...
"He...was going to...you know...have his way with you...and in the end he did", Gaara said, no hint of anger or happiness in his voice, just his normal mumbling...
"But you know i'm infertile now right?", Sakura said sternly. Gaara's eyes widened in disbelief.
"But Raike and I smelt you in heat! It had to have been you!!!", Gaara started. Sakura shook her head as he tried to sit up again. She pushed him down again.
"Gaara...remember, i had the hysterectomy. I can't have kids. It's impossible".
"But-", he started again. Sakura wasn't really giving him a chance to voice himself, for fear he might bring it up again...the horrible scene, her betrayal...
" HANG ON!", Gaara roared suddenly. Sakura stared down at the pillow, her guilty concience nagging at the back of her mind. She could almost see the side of his eye twitch as he snarled.
"THAT BASTARD GOT YOU! WHAT ABOUT THAT??", he roared. Sakura tried to snuggle closer to him. He growled.
" Gaara, clam down...There was no pregnancy. How many times do i have to tell you...Didn't you notice the flowers on the south-east border? Blame Hinata, she was researching an antidote for the snakes that have been plauging the city...His snakes", she sighed. Gaara's eyes widened.
"What snakes?".
"See! I've told you before!! Pay more attention to the villagers! The hospital's been run off it's feet for the last three weeks because of them! Yet no one remembers actually being bitten...", she said shaking her head. A smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, okay...", he said, finally calming down enough to run his fingers through her hair. She pressed herself against his bare chest and started to nod off again. He smiled and placed his arms in the small of her back. He kissed her head gently and listened to her breathing slow down to resting pace. Why can't I feel Raike??? Usually he's trying to get me to sleep...
He's gone you oaf...
Sienna?
Just barely...you have no idea what she did...
What?
Listen...
The creaking of trolley wheels in the kitchen made him pause. He heard the female demon sigh as she settled down again. The nurses were crashing around in the kitchen, banging pots, washing dishes and clothes and gossiping. Gaara rolled his eyes. Human females never shut up do they? Glad my Sakura's not like that... But then the doors banged open. Gaara winced as it did so...probably cracking the tiles behind the handle. The nurse began to frantically rant...and he listened...
"Oh My Dear God!!!! Did you hear what happened to the Kazekage!!" the nurse screached.
"What Dani?", the nurse washing the dishes sighed. The third nurse turned around, washing dangling from the overflowing basket in her hands.
"Spit it out Dani!", she snarled, flicking escapé clothes back into the brown basket.
"T-t-they say he was killed!!!", she panted. She was a younger nurse, probably no older than Sakura, with long raven-black hair and contrasting, bright, green eyes and flushing cheeks. The other girls were much, much older, wrinkle lines above thier brows from years of scowling patients and disinfecting. They'd had younger ones in before, and envied them for their abundant youth...
"That's absurd Dani!", the nursing cleaning the dishes said, turning around and leaning against the cupboard.
"No Shuya! I swear! I saw the medical file!!!!", the girl named Dani squealed. The other two women sighed and stopped their jobs, walking towards her grumbling something.
"Dani, he did not die...he coudn't have otherwise he wouldn't have been alive when lady Sakura brought him in. You silly twit, you see the only way he could have died and come here alive is if...is if...ohh my god! She's right!", the woman with the clothes said. Shuya thought. She sifted through her medical jutsu...
"No Dayu, there's no possible way she could have-".
"What about it, the jutsu... didn't the papers say the Shukaku was not present...", Dayu asked quietly. Dani squeaked.
"It was too! The papers never lie, right Shuya?", Dani squeaked, her voice becoming higher and higher with excitment. Shuya shook her head.
"I guess...but it would take a lot of strength. Hang on! Didn't they treat Sakura and Gaara at the same time? Perhaps they made a mistake...what if Sakura's demon is gone? What if she poured her life into him?? Like Elder-sama did when Kazekage-sama died the first time?", Shuya queiried aloud. The other two girls thought it over.
"Dani go get the medical sheet off the foot of his bed for me and Sakura's...", Shuya asked quietly. Dani's eyes widened.
"WHY ME!", she squealed, "He may wake up and get me!!".
"Dani, you fool, were not even sure he has got the demon. My guess he hasn't. Just go get them", Shuyu pleaded. Dani slumped, deafeated and dragged her feet all the way to his room...
As Dani aproached the door, she knocked three times. No answer came from the sleeping demons within so she entered. Her eyes scooted around the room, looking for the paper when her eyes focused on the massive stitched semicircle around Gaara's middle. Geeze, that guy got him bad, didn't he?My poor Kazekage... Dani tiptoed across the room and rumaged through the temporary doctors cabinet... Gaara cocked one eye open, staring at the lithe girl over Sakura's shoulder. She paused and Gaara quickly shut his eye...Only to have her pull out a white piece of parchment. She grabbed it and tied it with some string, and headed to the door...Gaara smirked.
Back in the kitchen both women paced, the secretly feared the worst...that their brave leader had lost the Shukaku...Suddenly Dani burst through the metal doors again, holding the document. The women hustled around, and Dani tugged lightly at the string before handing it to Shyua. Shuya breathed in deeply and unfolded the paper... The elegant script scrawled across the page...
As they read, their hearts hammered in unison, untill...
"Ohh MY God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The crowed together. Shuya held it up again, checking it...
"I guess you were right Dani...but Gaara hasn't lost his demon...Sakura has...", Shuya said. The three girls looked shocked, Shyua put the parchment down...
From his room Gaara heard everything... He looked over to his sweet desert blossom, sleeping soundly, cuddled up against his chest. His thoughts drifted back to the kids...the mum they'd known since birth, the mother that wasn't affraid of getting hurt to defend her kids was no more...she was but a mortal now..and it pained him. She's saved him...but in the process...she's killed a part of herself...Sienna was no more...he ran his callused fingers through her soft, pink hair, gently untangling the stray knots...now he was the protector...
He would never let them go...
And he would find a way to help her...
Even if it killed him...
Naruto turned out to be okay. A few head injuries sure hadn't spoilt his usually hyper mood. Gaara stalked in to the hospital room three weeks after the fight, a still present limp on his right side was the only clue to his ordeal. Sakura swarmed in and practically strangled the poor Kitsune. He ended up devouring the chocolates she'd brought him ( ramen flavoured of course!!!) in two seconds. She decided it wasn't enough, much to Gaara's playfull disgust and went downstairs to the gift shop. Gaara took this chance to talk to Naruto about the incident...
"So what exactly happened after I passed out?", Naruto asked, Hinata stroking his arm affectionally.
"Well, things just went from bad to worse...he got her", Gaara grumbled.
"You're kidding...GOD I WANNA RIP THAT TEME APART!!!!!", Naruto roared, almost spilling his hospital soup on his clean fox pyjamas. Gaara shook his head.
" I aready did...no need my friend...and no need to worry, he;s not getting a burial", Gaara said stonilly. Naruto laughed, a tiny splosh of alphabet soup dripping onto his nightwear. He grumbled the chuckled.
"Knowning you there probably wasn't enough left to bury...", he smirked. Hinata went green at the thought and rushed out of the room.
"Wonder what her problem is...", Gaara said staring out the door in confusion.
"I dunno...she's been acting weird lately...maybe it's a weak stomach...", Naruto shrugged. Gaar smiled.
"Or maybe your expecting?", he laughed. The two girls walked back into the room and he immediately stopped.
"Well i'm going to get a coffee...", Gaara mused as he started for the door.
"Hang on mister!!!!! Your not allowed coffee! Doctor said!", Sakura smirked. Naruto laughed only to have Hinata grab his shoulder.
"Neither are you Fox-Box...", they laughed. And Gaara walked out of the room...
Six Years Later...
Late March was warmer than he'd imagined, the memories he'd had of 'summer' were few. His father had banned him from going outside, seeing him only as a tool to wage war... He looked up into the sand dunes. This was Suki's first outing on her own. He watched proudly from the dune crest, his wife standing next to him, tears streaming down her face...
He looked around suddenly, the two little ones had disapeared...he began to panic. Sakura felt it too and stopped her tears...
Suddenly two lithe figures hopped up onto a dune not far away. Two very happy demons, one, a male of 5,6 and the other a smaller female 5,4 both with an excellent figure. The male, nice broad shoulders and nice muscled calves. The female, lithe, beautiful and well built. Gaara smiled and snaked his hand around his wife's waist...
"Look how fast they grow up...", Sakura murmured, laying her head on his shoulder. Gaara smiled.
"Soon they'll be Jounin...then what are we gonna do?", he smirked. She laughed.
"I don't know honey, I honestly don't know", she smiled back. He leaned in for a sweet kiss, which she returned gently. The two demons on the dune howled, a low echoing howl that sent all the desert animals running in fear. And as the sun set...three sets of bright red eyes glowed...followed by a pair of sparkling silver eyes...the eyes of a content mother and her family...
