(Recap)
"Sakura? Sakura it's me Hinata." Sakura let Hinata in to the bathroom and locked the door behind her.
"Sakura, did Itachi do some thing to you?" Sakura told her the story of what had just happened. Sakura began to cry even more and couldn't stop crying.
"Sakura, do you love him?"
"I do love Gaara." Sakura said as she cried ever more. Hinata nodded and let Sakura cry on her shoulder. Sakura finished a few hours later and was about to pass out. Hinata and Sakura walked over to Sakura's bed and put Sakura down. Sakura had more one tear run down her cheek before she passed out. Hinata soon left and saw Sakura begin to stop shaking as she walked out the door.
"Wow, I didn't think Sakura could cry like that." Hinata thought to herself. This was the woman that dared star in the eyes of a demon and tell him to piss off. This woman was stronger than this. To have her heart broken like this had never been heard of until now. She shut the door to Sakura's bedroom and outside she met Itachi waiting outside the door.
"Where is she?" Itachi asked concerned and wondered if she ran off again.
"She's in bed. Don't worry she'll be in there for the night. But don't bother her. She can't handle it right now." Hinata said as she left Itachi.
"Also if you go in there and make things worst I'll rip you to shreds myself." She said as she went in her room. She changed her clothes and went to see Naruto.

Chapter Seven: Hear about Sakura
"Hinata!" Hinata turned around to see Naruto, Kiba, and Sasuke.
"Hello Naruto." She said in a slight studder.
"How's Sakura doing, I heard she was real upset?" Hinata nodded with an upset look to her face.
"Sakura can't be with Gaara. Itachi is determined to keep and control Sakura. He told her that if Sakura were to be near Gaara again, he would shoot him. She broke it up to save him." Hinata said as Sasuke frowned.
"Itachi has gone way over board with this. I'm going to go up to his room and give him a piece of my mind. Yeah, believe it." Naruto said as Sasuke grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
"Don't Naruto. I'm pretty sure he would have the police at his door before you could do any thing. So how's Sakura doing so far? She seemed pretty upset when I heard about her." Sasuke asked as Hinata nodded.
"You should have been there to see how upset she was when she had to call it off with Gaara. I couldn't get her to stop crying. She threw up, she was shaking uncontrollably, and just calling for him, it was hard to not bring her to him. That was a very broken hearted Sakura that I saw." Sasuke was shocked. Sakura was so upset. Sakura had to have been broken hearted from what Hinata was telling them.
"She was so upset that she passed out of from it. She cried for an hour straight. She couldn't handle it and her mother keeps pushing it. Sakura's going to end up killing herself because of this." Hinata said as Kiba frowned.
"That's not right. Sakura should be with Gaara and Itachi is ruining it." Kiba said as Naruto nodded.
"We could go and take her by force but, Itachi has a loaded gun in his jacket. He'll kill any one if even try they cross the line."Hinata added as every one heard Akamaru bark a few times and Kiba nodded his head.
"Hey Hinata, did Sakura cry on your shoulder? Akamaru said he got a big whiff of tears. And it smells like Sakura." Hinata sighed.
"Yeah, my back is drenched. I feel so bad. Not only that but if you were to just look at then you could feel her pain come off her and feel it almost clearly." Naruto nodded.
"Yeah. I bet Gaara is upset too just not as much. I went to see how he was doing and he almost killed me." Naruto said as Kiba nodded. Kiba had been there when Naruto was almost killed.
"Well we'll just give Gaara some space till he cools off." They agreed and went separate ways.
Out on the deck, Gaara felt his chest tighten and felt his heart ache with pain. He hadn't hurt this much since his mother died. Now the only girl he loved, is gone protecting him. He would have gladly given his life for her.
"Sakura, I loved you. Why? I would rather have died for you." Gaara thought to himself as Kiba came up to him.
"Hey." He said as Gaara looked away.
"Gaara, how's it going so far?" Gaara leaned farther into the wall narrowed his eyes even more. Kiba nodded.
"Well I'm glad to hear some one didn't lose it from all this." Kiba said as he leaned against a pole and looked at the black water. Gaara frowned.
"What do you mean some one didn't lose it? What happened to Sakura?" Gaara asked sitting up all of a sudden looking concerned as Kiba sighed.
"After what Hinata told me what had happened to Sakura I thought I was going to cry myself and not only that but when Hinata came back to tell us what happened, Akamaru and I got scents of Sakura and tears all over her. Man, what ever happened to Sakura, sure almost killed her. She passed out from crying and terrible heart ache. That's what Hinata told me." Gaara frowned at him.
"She passed out from crying and heart ache?" Gaara asked as Kiba nodded.
"Yeah, Hinata was with her most of the time she was having her break down. She even said that she was so upset that she threw up, passed out, and when you looked at her you feel her pain clearly. It doesn't get any harder than that." Kiba said as Gaara wondered. He longed to hold her and heal her. He wanted her to come to him. He walked up to the deck on the search for her incase she came along.
Sakura woke up that morning to see Itachi laying next to her in bed. Sakura soon saw Gaara laying next to her. When Sakura realized it was her imagination and saw Itachi looking at her, she felt tears come to her eyes again.
"What's wrong my Sakura?" Itachi said caressing her cheek.
"Your Sakura? Your Sakura!? I'll never be your Sakura!" Sakura thought as she looked away from him. Sakura would never be his and was she never going to be. Sakura felt anger rise slowly up. She laid there wishing he would leave her alone. But he didn't and climbed up beside her. Sakura flinched at his touch and felt disgusted with herself. Itachi put an arm around her waist and then pulled her towards him. She extended her arms to pull herself away from him from his strength won and she rested right beneath him. Sakura felt nervous in a bad way and didn't like the idea of this.
"Sakura stop resisting me. If you let me into your heart then maybe you'll take a better liking to me. For all you know, you may like what you see." Itachi said as Sakura heard him but wasn't listening to him. Itachi tried to get her attention a couple of times before getting mad at her.
"Sakura look at me when I'm talking to you." Itachi said as she heard him yell at her. She turned to look at him and saw he was already angry. She was begging on the inside for him not to hurt her.
"That's better. Now how are you this morning?" Sakura looked at him dead in the eye and spat out her answer.
"I was feeling better until I looked at you." Sakura said as she looked away from him. She was a mess inside and felt broken. She was miserable without Gaara. She needed him.
"Sakura you're mine and think about it, tomorrow after we get off this boat we'll be married in no time and just think of the time we'll spend together. Also I was thinking about kids. Lots and lots of kids." Itachi said as he snuggled closer to her. Sakura widen her eyes and tears began to pour out. Sakura quickly ran out of bed and into the one place in the room where Itachi would allow her to go to and she could by herself. Sakura ran into the bathroom and turned the shower on so he wouldn't be able to hear her sobs as easily.
"Once she's mine, I get to do what ever I want with my little cherry blossom." Itachi said to himself as he soon fell asleep. Sakura soon got into the shower and cried.
"No. I can't be with Itachi. I will not have any children from him. He'll never have me." Sakura looked down at her hand that placed it self at her chest where her heart laid.
"I don't care if I die I'm going to Gaara." Sakura said as she would wait till night, to make her escape.
"Gaara. Gaara wake up." Gaara slowly woke up but he felt depressed about the yesterday.
"Tomorrow morning the boat should be at America. Aren't you going to at least spend your last day trying to feel better?" Naruto asked as Hinata sat next to him.
"Shut up Naruto. Go away." Gaara said as he sounded annoyed and hurt. Gaara turned towards the wall and looked out. He didn't see the wall though, he saw Sakura. He could remember Itachi's words as Sakura ran to her room.
"I'll let him live but remember this Gaara. If I see you with her, I'll kill you myself." Itachi's words still buzzed in his head and the only thing Gaara felt at that moment was a broken heart. Gaara felt depressed more and more by the second and clutched his chest where his heart was and tried to relieve the pain. He drifted into a painful sleep hoping that he could escape the heart breaking reality.
