Hi!. Thank you all of my reviewers, I love you guys! Im trying so hard to keep this story going because I keep getting destracted with this guy I like, hes so much like Sasuke . But you don't want to here about my life, you'd rather read the story. Okay here you go chapter four! Oj yeah, Gaara is older and hes not as evil as before, he's.

Sakura was in complete and total shock. She almost completely forgot who she was looking at. So just to make sure ,she did a retake. He was wearing black boots with straps that looked rugged and sexy. He was wearing the average hokage out fit, but with out the ridiculous hat. His hair still stood on his head, messy and wild as always. But his face was different he wasn't evil or sinister looking. His cheeks had a slight blush and lips looked soft and inviting.

Could this be a whole new Gaara?

"Well , don't just stand there and look like an idiot", Gaara's cold voice cut into her thoughts like a knife.

Guess not.

Sakura didn't even realize that she was staring at Gaara until she heard Ino burst out into laughter next to her.

"Excuse me for a minute" , Sakura didn't want to seem rude ,after all she needed to Thank Ino for what a wonderful friend she was for setting up this lovely encounter. One of Gaara's nonexistent eyebrows raised to create a look of slight curiosity , but it faded as quickly as it came. Sakura really didn't care who was infront of her at the moment . She grabbed Ino by the neck and slammed her into the wall with half of her strength.

"Ino what the hell….", she stopped when she realized her friends face was turning red. OH!

'Sorry Ino I forgot that in order to breath you need air, probably how you forgot to tell me the Kazekage ….",she stopped whispering mid sentence. Why am I act like this I don't usually do this type of stuff. She instantly turned she attention back to the patient KazeKage standing in front of her. Gaara actually wasn't angered by this behavior, he was actually very amused. He thought the Konoha would send some ugly little whore who wore cheep make up, way to much lip stick and slutty hears. But they sent this gir. I wonder if she's and different. Can is she worthy of me? Can she face the challenge of the Festival?

"Um , I'm sorry about that."

Gaara turned his attention back to the pink girl in front of him. He looked at her up and down. This set Sakura's cheeks ablaze she would have looked like a tomato. She was certainly different in her looks. She didn't seem as annoying, she actually looked cute. Shukaku: It's her enhanced features am I right Gaara? I think we should just take her to a private little corner and…

"Shut up", Gaara quickly silenced the demon inside of him. Thoughts like that really messed up his day.

"Lets go before the gate closes", He walked off in silence.

Sakura turned around to face Ino .

"Ino why….", her voice was terrified.

'Don't worry Sakura I didn't choose this date for no reason. Now lets hurry every ones already at the festival announcements", Sakura and Ino turned to face only air when they realized Gaara had gone ahead and was now waiting for them at the gates.

" Are you ready Sakura?" , Ino was beginning to doubt she had made the right choice. However when she looked to the side and saw the eager look in Sakura's eyes. She could have predicated the answer.

"Know and always". Inner Sakura: Cha! Ino and Sakura ran of in Gaara's direction. The Paper in Sakura's purse glew blue for an instant as a single word appeared .

"Will " appeared in purple on the thin blue paper.
