Business Affairs

Some say that a drunk driving accident happens once every fifty minutes. Who would have guessed that at this one minute, out of all the other people in the world, two individuals would meet and slowly, their lives would become more and more intertwined.

Chapter Five ~ Now What?

A/N: OKAY! I'm soooo sorry for the late update! :| Enjoy the chapter, though! (:

Precap:"Sakura, are you holding up okay?" Tsunade asked as Sakura nodded. "Sakura, honey. What have you thought about in terms of telling the father of this child?"

Sakura looked at Tsunade and opened her mouth to answer.

Gaara woke up and screamed a bit. "What the hell...? That alcohol is really getting me...getting strange dreams like that..." The redhead felt his head. Was he really that evil? Nah. It was probably the alcohol that was getting to him.

Suddenly, he heard a sound. "Is he awake?" A voice said.

"Yes. Why?" Another voice replied.

"I need to have a little talk to him. Man to man.." The first voice said as he shifted the doorknob.

Hospital Room 6969's door had flung open. The male who was in front of Gaara was a man with a man with spiky white hair. The man looked extremely familiar, though Gaara couldn't remember.

"You. Your Gaara Sabaku?" The man asked in his deep tone. The male already knew the redhead was Gaara, but it was for formalities. Gaara nodded, silently.

"You, my friend...or enemy. Whatever you'd like to call it. How about my prisoner? You...are under arrest for drinking while driving." The man said as he chewed on a piece of Trident gum. "Gawd, this stupid gum already lost it's taste.

"Hey, where's the trashcan?" The officer said as Gaara looked at him as if he was crazy. Here this officer was saying that he was arrested and now he is asking for the trashcan as if they were friends.

"Fine, don't tell me. Regardless, you are still arrested."

Gaara looked at the man closely, he was in a black police suit. With a badge and name tag stating: Kakashi Hatake.

"Dammit...I really screwed up this time..." Gaara muttered as he got out of his bed. His leg was feeling better, but there were other parts of his body that were not feeling so good.

Kakashi found the closest trashcan and spit the piece of gum into the metal can. "Asuma, get the hand cuffs. You wouldn't want Mr. Sabaku to run away? He's got the best alarm systems that he'll know when you come to him..." He sneered before entering another piece of gum into his mouth.

Asuma eyed at Gaara while twirling the handcuffs in his index finger. "I better watch out, he may have some alarm system on him that if I go near him it'll tase me."

"Aren't you supposed to be arresting me?" Gaara asked, questioning whether these idiots were actual police officers. If they were, they were terrible ones.

Kakashi chuckled as he pointed to Gaara. "Just get him." Asuma entered the room with a cigarette in his mouth, earning a glare from Kakashi. After handcuffing the male, Kakashi took the cigarette from Asuma's mouth and threw it into the trashcan.

"Are you a fucking idiot, Asuma? This is a no smoking zone...Dumbass." Kakashi spoke harshly to the police officer adjacent to him. Gaara sighed and grumbled something.

"Finally...something spoken like a true police officer."

Kakashi and Asuma ignored what Gaara said since Kakashi was too busy yelling at Asuma for smoking in a hospital, complaining how he would get arrested if he didn't think properly. Gaara sat quietly in the back seat of the police car, once they finally reached the car which for Gaara seemed like hours to get too.

In Sakura's room where Tsunade had previously questioned if she was going to tell her fiance, Sakura sighed when shaking her head. "I'll...tell him...somehow." Tsunade ran her hands through the rosette's hair, who was about to breakdown again.

"Sakura...are you sure? At this moment, you need support and the only person who ca-" Tsunade spoke in her motherly tone, though she wasn't Sakura's mother, she always had a soft spot for her patients. Especially ones who were going through such a trauma.

"I...know. I'll tell him...one day. I just don't know when..." Sakura said as she looked down. What was she going to do? Sasuke probably heard about Sakura's accident or if he didn't, he will be very soon. The first thing he'll ask about is the baby. What is Sakura supposed to say to that?

"Fine...but is there anything I can do for you?" Tsunade questioned as Sakura bit her lip to think of anything to say.

"Can you call Sasuke and tell him about the accident. Please do not mention anything about the miscarriage or who was responsible for the accident..." Sakura requested as Tsunade nodded.

"Yes, I'll tell him just as you said." Tsunade said as Sakura nodded and looked out the window. She saw something that surprised her a bit. It was that redheaded male who caused her accident. He was with two buff police men...Sakura wondered on whether he was getting arrested or not.

"Doctor, when will I be released?" The once mother asked as Tsunade bit her lip to think.

"I'd say...tomorrow. You need rest, honey." Tsunade told her patient. Tsunade was about to leave, till she paused one more time.

"Anything else, Sakura?" Tsunade asked as Sakura shook her head.

"Is that man being arrested?" Sakura asked, one last thing.

"Yes...I had spoken to Kabuto just now. He told me that the police learned of Gaara...being drunk when driving which as you know is illegal. So, they arrested him or will be arrested. I'm not too sure." Tsunade answered as Sakura nodded.

After that, Tsunade walked out the door and Sakura laid in bed thinking of Gaara being arrested. "At least that bastard is getting what he deserves..."

The next morning...

Yesterday, Gaara had been placed into a small cell which he shared with nobody. He sat on his bed the whole night, not sleeping since he was too busy thinking about everything. The offer he made. Sakura. Him being in jail. And, of course...Gaara had so much work to do back when he went to the office.

"Sabaku, you're bailed out." Asuma said, not really caring whether Gaara was in prison or not. Gaara raised his eyebrows thinking who could have bailed him out. Sakura wouldn't. Gaara came out of the cell feeling as if he was free forever and ever.

The man who had bailed Gaara was his brother, Kankuro. Kankuro had changed since the last time Gaara had saw him. Kankuro was a puppeteer and he wore crazy make up. Like red paint on his face, this crazy hat, and more that made Gaara debate whether he was related to his fool or not.

"Kankuro?" Gaara muttered. He barely could recognize him without the paint and hat. He was now dressed in a button-up shirt and khaki pants. His hair was combed properly and he had a small grin on his face. The grin was Kankuro's signature. He was so goofy.

"Okay, Sabaku. You were lucky this time..." Kakashi spoke as he leaned back in his chair.

"Hope you had a nice stay in...prison." Asuma sneered earning a chuckle from Kakashi.

"Fuck you both..." Gaara grumbled as he and his brother exited the police station.

"Thanks, man...I..." Gaara said to his brother who glared at him.

"You're an idiot. Thanks to you I missed out on a show. You're lucky I had one show here in Konoha otherwise, you'd be in some deep shit. Temari is a vet living in Suna with her husband Shikamaru, so no one else would have gotten you. Now come on..." Kankuro spoke as he jumped into his car. His car wasn't as luxurious as Gaara's. Though it was a car and that was all Kankuro cared about.

"Sorry..." Gaara muttered, he wasn't good at saying sorries. This must have been the most time he's ever said sorry in the last two days. First to Sakura, now to his brother. Next would be Sakura's boyfriend "Wait...where are we going?"

"Starbucks. I need coffee and looking at your eyes, you need some too." The brown haired male said to his younger brother. Starbucks wasn't so far away, just take one left, then a right and you've reached!

The two in the car remained silent till they reached Starbucks. After getting their coffee, Kankuro and Gaara sat down.

"Now, tell me what the hell happened so I know I had a good reason to come here..." Kankuro spoke after taking a sip of his black coffee.

"Okay...I was coming from a frat party..." Gaara said, before he could continue Kankuro chuckled.

"I'm not kidding, Gaara. Tell me the real story. You don't go to frat parties..."

"Shut the fuck up and listen...I was coming from the party, half drunk. I was driving oh-so-well...Then..I kinda took a sip more from a bottle. Well more like a chug or I did something. Then I got more drunk...hit a tree..caused an accident and landed in this hellhole." Gaara replied.

"That's all?" Kankuro asked as Gaara shook his head.

"The person I got into an accident too was pregnant and they lost their...baby." Gaara muttered, Kankuro head the mutter and spit out his coffee. Some of it landing on his brother's face.

"Ew..."

"YOU FUCKING...idiot!" Kankuro exclaimed.

"I tried to make it better by-" Gaara said, but Kankuro interrupted him.

"Hell no, stay out of this girl's way. There is no way you can make it better or get your ass out of this one. So, I beg of you...stay out of her way." Kankuro replied as Gaara nodded.

"Yeah, fine. I won't even talk to her ever again. If she called this moment, I wouldn't even pick it up." Gaara said earning a small smile from his brother.

"That's the spirit..." Kankuro said, but continued to shake his head in disapproval. His brother was an idiot...

"Never...ever...ever." The redhead spoke as finished the last bits of his hazelnut iced coffee. Suddenly, Gaara's phone rang.

The phone read a number unfamiliar to Gaara. He picked up the phone. "Hello..."

"Gaara...it's Sakura...We need to talk..."

A/N: Soooo what'd you think? Why is Sakura calling? Sorry if you didn't like the chapter...I kind of rushed on it! :|
