Leaving
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura collapsed on the couch in Naruto's house. All of the things she had bought when sliding up the stairs carried by Gaara's sand. After shopping she had made him have lunch with her so it was about 1:30 ish. Gaara looked down at her and smirked.
'What?' Sakura looked up at him. 'Nothing' he said still looking at her in a very strange way for Gaara. 'Come on tell me' Sakura asked standing up to look Gaara full in the face. 'I said it was nothing'. As he said that though his face came closer to her face.
Sakura couldn't look away. What is this spell he has on my, I can't make myself look away. Slowly his face inched closer as they just watched each other. His eyes are so intense, why is he doing this, what is he thinking. Oh my God are we going to kiss! I can't kiss him he's Gaara of the sand. But he is really cute. And tall, and very macular. Wait shut up just shut up brain.
As she yelled at herself she felt Gaara get closer and closer and that's when she realized how close their bodies were. She could feel the heat coming off his body. Having told her brain to shut up she could no longer find any reasons why kissing Gaara right here would be bad.
Then after what felt like an eternity their lips met. It was soft and gentle, almost like his lips weren't there. He put his hand on the back of her neck about to deepen the kiss when Naruto came bursting through the door.
The two jumped apart before anyone could see them. Sakura quickly sat down again and picked up a magazine. Gaara walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Naruto came running into the living room where Sakura sat read. He looked around before asking 'where is Gaara?' 'In the kitchen I think' she said coolly not even looking up from her magazine.
Naruto ran to the kitchen and spotted Gaara rinsing out the glass he had just used. 'Where have you been the meeting is starting soon we have to go' Naruto yelled jumping up and down.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gaara looked at Naruto like he would bite him. He hadn't forgotten about the meeting he had just been a little to busy to think about it. 'Come on,' Naruto garbed his arm and pulled him out of the kitchen and through the living room.
As Gaara was pulled along he watched Sakura as he went by. She looked straight back at him. He wanted more of her then the taste he had gotten. Why, he had no idea something just came over him.
He could see in her eyes that she wanted more too and he wasn't about to turn her down. As he was pulled out the door he made a silent promise that he next time the opportunity arose he would give her more.
Naruto pulled him down the street talking a mile a minute. Now that he was out of the house and away from Sakura he started thinking clearly. What the hell had he just done?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura sat there looking at the door even after it closed. What had just happened? Her brain was slowly starting to work normally. Gaara…her…kiss! Oh My God I just kissed Gaara and I think I liked it. Wait, what? I liked it but that's crazy its Gaara, he tried to kill me all those years ago.
But on the other hand he has been nice to me since I met him what like three days ago. You don't just kiss someone after seeing them for three days, that's just crazy. But it happened. What am I going to do, I am sharing a house with him. But I am leaving tomorrow for a while. But I am going to the Suna, which he just happens to be the place he is the Kazekage of.
Sakura paced around the house for a while trying to figure out why he had kissed her and what she would do about it. Then she remembered something. When he was leaving he had given her this look that promised something. She wasn't sure what but she was sure it would continue where they had left off. She swallowed hard.
After hours of yelling at her own mind, both in her mind and out loud, she had some sort of answers to her questions. Why had he kissed her, it was obvious either he had lost all sense of reason, which she thought was most likely, or he might actually like her. But that is crazy Gaara of the sand didn't get crushes that would be like a fish falling in love with a bird.
She rather liked that comparison. Because when you looked at it you realized that it was impossible. I mean would the fish learn to fly and breathe air or was the bird about to grow fins and gills? Anyway, what did he promise nothing she was interested in that's for sure?
When she thought about it what could he give her that she needed? Nothing that's what he had no idea how to love someone. But then again Sasuke wasn't that good at it either. Unless you were talking about the physical part, but she had nothing to compare it to so she couldn't even start on about that part.
That was it she would just have to find a way to either not be around him or just not be alone with him easy as that. Sakura smiled at her own brilliance and walked up stairs to start packing the stuff she had bought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
All through the meeting Gaara thought about Sakura and what had happened. He figured that he liked her and that he wanted to be with her by the time the meeting was over. He was just about to leave the meeting room when a woman, probably some sort of secretary, came up to him and told him he had paper work to fill out in one of the many offices in the building.
Sighing he followed the woman to whatever room had the papers he needed to sign. As he sat down at the desk glaring daggers at the mountain of work he had the woman asked if he would like anything. 'Water,' he said with out looking up. He could tell from the shake in her voice and the quick footsteps that he had scared the little woman.
But he didn't care. He wanted to go back to the house and see Sakura but he was stuck here doing stupid paper work. And from the size of the mound it would take him half the night to get them all done. Looking over them trying to see if he could put some aside until later but no all of the said 'To be seem to immediately'. They all it so he had no choice but to read them all.
Sighing once more as he heard the door open and saw a glass of water placed beside him. This is going to be a very long night. Then he settled down to work.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura lay in bed thinking. They had had dinner without Naruto and Gaara. Naruto had phoned saying to go ahead without them. So they eat waited a while but then everyone slowly just went to bed.
She was happy but I bit sad that they hadn't been there. Happy because it wasn't acquired between her and Gaara. But sad because she was leaving tomorrow morning very early so she would have sometime to get a feel for Suna before she had to work, but she wouldn't be able to say good bye to Naruto, he was one of her closest friends next to Ino and Hinata.
Sighing, she slowly fell asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura sat up in bed. Something had awoken her and she didn't know what it was. Slowly and quietly she got out of bed and crept to the door. Pressing her ear to the door she listened silently.
Then she heard it, footsteps. She couldn't tell where they were but she knew they were there. Someone is in the house, I must find out what their intentions are. It was close to 3:30 ish in the morning and she wasn't think clearly because she was still half-asleep and that lead to the brilliant idea of walking out into the hall.
Opening the door once she was standing up straight she looked around. That's when she locked eyes with the one person she was hoping it wouldn't be. Gaara stood there looking at her half hidden in her doorway. He smirked at her and she closed the door quickly.
Pressing her back to the door she hoped he didn't see the blush that was spreading across her face. Because it wasn't until that moment she realized she was only wearing shorts and a bra. She also hoped he hadn't seen anything.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gaara stood there watching her door with a smirk plastered on his face. He hadn't seen anything but he could tell that she wasn't wearing much. He was thinking about knocking on her door to see if he could get a better look when he heard her doors lock turn.
Hmm he thought as he walked by. Maybe she is not ready for her feeling just yet. That's all right I can wait. He walked off down the hall to his bed and a couple of hours of sleep.

Well there you go the very long awaited beginning, and it only gets better from here.
