Once he was gone Sakura sat back and cursed herself. She balled her hands into fists and banged them against the side of her head.

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" She berated herself.

What was wrong with her, antagonizing Gaara? He wasn't just another guy; he wasn't really on her level. He was the Kazekage – Tsunade's equal, not her own. He was her patient, her mission. Tsunade had placed her trust in Sakura, believing that Sakura would be a good medic, and see how Sakura had repaid that trust.

Sakura stood up. She really should go get him and apologize.
