I don't Own Naruto! If I did I would have made Sasuke sleep with Sakura!

Previously:

Once with the group again they set out for their final destination to meet up with the rest of the groups at the park. And again Sakura was pulling Gaara's hand and calling him Panda-chan, but she glimpsed back and saw Sasuke glaring at their hands so she stopped, dropped Gaara's hand, which made him look at her funny, went back and grabbed Sasuke's hand and pulled him up with her. She then grabbed Gaara's hand again and gently pulled them both to the park. Since she was smiling Sasuke let her pull him and he smirked at her loving that fact the he too was making her smile.

Back to the story:

"So this is what happened?" Temari said. (No one's pov for story, just what happened)

They made it to the park without problems, since Gaara scared everyone. And everyone knew not to mess with the girls and knew not to mess with the guys that hung out with them.

They got in the park and, "We're here!" Sakura stated loudly… but when no other sound came she looked around and saw no one else had made it there. "Guess we are the first group to finish. Oh well. Come on Panda-chan." She dropped Sasuke's hand and pulled Gaara to the swings. She sat down on one and he started to push her. She kept saying higher and higher like a little child, but it made her giggle a lot and it made her happy which made Gaara actually follow orders.

Hanabi, Temari, and Lenny started to talk. Kurenai and Kakashi found a tree with shade, Kakashi laid down and Kurenai laid on top of him and started to make out with him. Hanabi, Temari, Shino, Crystal, and Sasuke looked disguisted, but the girls found it funny. Lenny glared at him, and so did Gaara. Sakura was too busy giggling.

Shino and Crystal went off to talk about bugs, and talk about other stuff. The girls noticed that they hit it off, and Sakura noticed her older sister's smile when talking to him.

Sasuke stood by a tree, trying not to get aggravated that Gaara was making the girl he liked smile like that. But he enjoyed watching her smile.

No one knew how long it was but a little later group four came. Yashamaru, Suzume, Saima, Ibiki, Martyna, Asuma, and Katie saw Kurenai and Kakashi. Then they blinked… and then shook their heads. Cody saw them and glared.

"Troublesome." Shikamaru grunted.

"Do they ever stop?" Ayame asked. Everyone shook their heads no. Then they caught glimpse Shino and Crystal talking and decided to let them be. Then they saw Sasuke, they saw him glare but then his face went back to a form the guys never saw on him, it was one of enjoyment. They looked to the source to see Gaara pushing Sakura on the swing. The guys couldn't believe it. Gaara pushing a girl on the swing, gently I might add, following her order of wanting to go higher, and then he had a small smile on his face.

"Well now. That is a surprise." Asuma stated.

"Not really. She has an effect on everyone she meets. And considering Gaara's known her for a long time." Ayame giggled. She saw Cody look at them and smile. She knew he wants to join them but he was letting them be. The guys turned back to look at Sasuke to see him going back and forth with his emotions. They thought he was conflicted, because he looked like he wanted to

"Guess Sasuke found someone he likes, since he looks like he wants to be the one to put a smile on her face." Yashamaru stated after that. Everyone nodded their head.

"Just as long as he doesn't hurt her, he won't die." Cody stated with venomously. All the guys looked at him confused. The girls knew he was being protective.

The adults went to a shaded area and started to get to know each other, so that no one would step on others with their habits. Cody and Ayame joined in conversation with Temari, Lenny, and Hanabi. Katie thought it would be best to check on Sasuke, so she walked over to him, with Shikamaru following.

"Hey… Sasuke was it?" Katie asked.

"aa" he grunted back. She raised her eyebrows at him.

"Troublesome. It is Sasuke. Aa usually means yes while hn means no. Usually." Shikamaru explained.

"Oh. Well that helps. Anything happen?" Katie asked. She really didn't thinks so, but knowing the town and Sakura, it's better to check for safety reasons, since she knew that Sakura wouldn't tell anyone else.

"We paired off in groups. Went to get stuff. " Sasuke responded bluntly. By now Shikamaru was slightly leaning into Katie and looking at the clouds. Sasuke noticed but didn't say anything about Shikamaru liking someone because he too was being pulled in by the thing called love.

"Nothing else? Nothing that seems peculiar?"

Sasuke thought about it, though she thought she was being ignored. Then something in his eyes said that he thought of something. His eyes looked like he went back in his memory. "Someone tried to get close to her when Sakura and I were in pairs together. I put her behind me since she seemed scared, she was backing up as he got closer. I scared him off. Then she started babbling about me being mad at Gaara, which I kind of was, you say anything about me being jealous and I'll kill you. She looked as though she was scared of the guy."

When he came back to reality he saw Katie's face. The look on Katie face told him he should have addressed it with someone sooner. "Go to Lenny and Cody wait to tell them till I get Gaara over there." She looked pissed. She took a deep breath and looked like she was pretending to be fine. Shikamaru heard everything thought it was best to follow orders. So he and Sasuke went to Lenny and Cody, who were still in a conversation with Temari, Hanabi, and Ayame. Katie went over to Gaara and gave him a look that told him something happened and looked over at Lenny and Cody. He nodded, knowing he was to hear what was happening. By now Sakura was tired and wanting to get off. So Gaara first stopped the swing and Katie stayed and talked with her.

Gaara joined in the group. "What the hell happened?" He asked. Sasuke repeated everything he told Katie. And if looks could he would be dead from Cody, Lenny, and Gaara's glare. Ayame and Hanabi dragged Shikamaru over to the adults and told them what happened. The guys, though confused, understood that this was bad and stayed close.

After that Sasuke was asked to describe the person, he did so. He just wanted to be sure that Sakura didn't get hurt and that she was happy. He looked over and saw that she was rubbing her eyes, remembering that she doesn't sleep well. He was looking at her when Lenny said something that sounded like an order.

"YOU. YOU GET YOUR ASS TO SAKURA'S SIDE AND DON'T LEAVE IT." Lenny commanded. Sasuke did as told, thinking the worst. Even though it was an order and he doesn't usually take them well, he liked this one. Lenny looked at his brothers who nodded. Then looked at Temari and she nodded as well. The three males went out of the park.

After letting them a safe distance to do what they needed to make sure this didn't happen again. She went over to the two that were making out and told them, that the boys went to kill someone. Kurenai pulled herself up and noticed that three most dangerous of the guys were gone. She demanded to know what happened. Temari explained what had happened.

Over by Sakura.

She saw Sasuke coming to join her and Katie. She was excited by this, but then noticed his expression.

"what? What happened? Is everything okay?" She was talking a mile a minute.

Sasuke seeing that he made her unhappy and worried, changed his expressions. "nothing. Relax." When she didn't he pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her, one hand on her head slightly rubbing it, the other around her waist. He was whispering to her to calm down. When she did relax, she snuggled more into him, which he enjoyed, he smiled a bit. Sakura thought about how good he smelled, how strong he was, how warm she was in his arms, how gently he was with her, his protective side, and how she felt safe within his arms. Katie noticed that she may fall asleep, remembering how peacefully she slept in Sasuke's arms the night before. She didn't tell anyone since she wasn't noticed.

After a few more minutes she was right, Sakura was asleep peacefully. "You may want to take her into the shade. She fell asleep. You should let her rest in your arms. Now I know a lot of people will be angry but as you know from last night she doesn't sleep well. No one will hurt you; I will make sure of that." Katie said. Sasuke nodded and picked her up bridal style and carried her off to the shade.

The others.

Temari, Kurenai, and Kakashi joined the others. Kurenai started to pace. When they saw Katie joined them, the girls searched for the sight of Sakura, only to find Sasuke carrying her. "She fell asleep. Leave her be." Katie said and commanded when she reached them.

Soon after that Crystal and Shino head to the group, Ayame told them that some guy scared Sakura. Crystal nodded. They then felt a powerful, and pissed off aura, and to top it off they felt three of them. Everyone knew one of the was Gaara, the girls knew right away that the other two were Cody and Lenny, the guys just figured it was them.

Sasuke felt it too; he tightened his hold on her. He made it to the tree and sat down with her on his lap. She twisted slightly, her ear on his heart and snuggled closer to the warmth and his protective embrace. He then let his aura known he was not to be messed with.

When the trio came back, all the girls knew that the guy that they took for a threat was no more a threat. But they were still angry, at themselves for not noticing, and at her for not telling though they would never be truly angry at her. They looked around for her and Sasuke since they put him in charge. They saw her snuggled up to him at the base of a huge tree.

They knew she was tired, and knew that she had sleeping problems, so her falling to sleep and staying asleep was a big deal. But they were still too pissed off to be able to calmly deal with her sleeping on Sasuke.

They then surrounded him and glared. Sasuke tightened his grip again. Not knowing what to expect.

They stayed like that forever. The other people waited for the others, but knew they had to keep watching in case something did happen.

After awhile they heard a yell, they looked over and saw Kiba getting smacked and hit by Ten-ten and Naruto. Temari stated that she would go over and explain.

"And that is what happened from group five, my group, getting to the park to group four joining us to what happened." Temari finished. "they won't hurt him. They know better. Trust me. They also know that she has taking a liking to him and if he gets hurt we won't have to worry about them hurting anyone. Just them getting hurt. Sakura is scary when she is pissed, which thankfully doesn't happen often. She is also scarier than Gaara on steroids when she is pissed…. And if she did start fighting them, they would never fight back." She was smirking by then.

Once the guys figured, she was telling the truth about a fight breaking out between the trio and Sasuke, they joined the others. The girls had already joined up, but Ten-ten, and Tayuya went to glare at Sasuke too. Kiba and his dog followed, just in case a fight did break out, he wanted to get her to safety, and Tonbo followed to for the same reasons. Though when Sasuke saw the guys they both had smirks on their faces, to which he glared at them. They all noticed that at that point Sakura snuggled closer to him again. Temari came over to drag Gaara away, Lenny was pulled away by Hanabi, and Cody walked back over to Ayame. They started another conversation with the girls while they continued to glare from a distance, and their arms were crossed.

Kiba and Tonbo figured Sasuke had enough and they both through the girls over their shoulders, Ten-ten was placed on Kiba's, while Tayuya was on Tonbo's. To which they started to scream at them and kept hitting them on their backs. They then smirked on last time at him and walked away to join the others.

Sasuke then sighed, but then he smiled again because she had snuggled even closer. He looked down at her and smiled more, tightening his hold.

The girls went back to what they were doing before, the guys joined them but kept themselves on guard. Read and Review!
