Hoping to get this one up quickly. But please note that there is a time jump. One month has passed since Sakura arrived in Suna.

Life in Suna

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura walked down the street in the early morning air. After one month in Suna she was growing attached to it. The people were friendly and her job was much easier then it had been in Konoha. With no missions to go on she might get a little less money but she had more time to help improve Suna's hospital.

Pushing open the front doors of the hospital Sakura was greeted by smiling faces and warm hellos. Waving and smiling back she walked up to the front desk. Temari sat behind it with a stack of folders beside her.

'Good morning Temari, who do you, have for me today,' Sakura asked as she reached the desk? 'Morning Sakura, there is a man in room 202 with a problem no one can figure out, so we need you to take a look. And these are the other people you will be tending to again,' Temari said as she passed a same pile of folders to Sakura.

'Thanks, so are we still on for lunch today, you have been putting it off for sometime?' Sakura questioned flipping through the folders. 'Yes, today will be fine, now get to 202, the nurses are afraid to go in. he has been yelling at everyone that tries to help.' 'Fun, why do I always get the crazy ones,' Sakura asked walking away. 'Cause they always love you!' Temari yelled back.

Shaking her head Sakura walked up a fight of stairs and down a hall to room 202. Opening the door she found a very surprising sight.

There was a man on the bed with a very red face, and three very scared nurses huddled together in a corner. Blinking a couple of times to make sure this wasn't some weird dream she decided to get to work. 'Hello I am Sakura Haruno. What seems to be the matter.' She asked in a calm voice walking in front of the man so that the nurses could run behind her and out the door.

The man looked at her and his face started to fade from red to a little more normal of a colour. 'Finally someone that at least seems to know what they are doing,' the man said rudely. 'Could you tell me what's wrong,' she asked politely. 'I don't know that's why I came here,' the man said.

Sakura closed the door behind her two hours later. She wanted to kill that man, she had spent half of her time just trying to get him to tell her why he came. In the end it turned out he had an ingrown toenail.

Stomping down the hall she went to go find Temari. She was making sure that man was put on the list of people that came in here and wasted their time. Reaching the front desk area she found Temari talking to a man in a dark clock. She couldn't see their face because the hood was up but she could tell it was a man from the height and build.

By the time got to Temari the man was walking away. 'Who was that,' Sakura asked. 'Who,' Temari asked? 'The guy that was just here,' Sakura said. 'What guy?' Temari said trying to act cool. 'Never mind,' Sakura said rolling her eyes.

She wouldn't get anything out of Temari. 'Here put this guy on our list.' 'Was he that bad?' Temari asked. 'Horrible, unless something is obviously wrong, he gets one of the interns.' Sakura grab more folders from the pile and turned to walk back up the stairs. 'See you in three hours,' she called over her shoulder. 'Till then,' Temari replied.

Sakura looked at her pile. I can get all this done by then, nothing can be harder then that guy. She had already blocked his name from her memory, if she said it she might just flip out.

Sakura walked out of a door on the fourth floor. The three hours were up and she had just finished her pile. Smiling she walked to the stairs and walked down to go find Temari so she could eat.

Walking up to the front desk she found Temari was there with the hooded guy again. This time Sakura was determined to find out who this guy was. Maybe Temari's got herself a boyfriend. Walking up Sakura waved at her. Temari saw her and waved back.

The hooded man seeing this turned around to see who was being waved at. When he did Sakura was able to see who it was. She couldn't believe who it was for a minute.

Sakura, Temari, and Gaara sat around a table in a restaurant down the road from the hospital. He had just gotten back today, and wanted to see his sister. At least that's what he said. Sakura knew by the glances in her direction that he came to see her as well.

Sakura had a hard time meeting his gaze but she didn't know why. She decided to let Gaara and Temari talk while she found something to eat. She was starved from all the work she had done that morning.

After they had ordered their food there was nothing left to do but wait and talk. Temari and Gaara were talking about the hospital but Sakura had no idea what exactly so she wasn't paying any attention. Until Temari started to wave a hand in front of her face to get her attention.

'You still in there Sakura?' Temari asked. 'Yea, what is it?' Sakura asked coming out of her dreamland. 'I was just telling Gaara about all of the improvements that you have made to the hospital since you got here. And I was just explaining the classes in the afternoon, and I asked you if you could tell him about it' Temari said a little annoyed.

'Of course,' Sakura said, 'when I got here, most of the doctors and nurses knew the basics but were missing a lot of skills. So I started classes in the afternoon that focus on different areas everyday. People who are interested in them can sign up to come to the classes they want.'

'That sounds pretty smart,' Gaara said excepting the food a waiter was giving him. 'How has that been going?' 'Very well, most classes are either completely full or have to many so I have to teach to classes,' Sakura said taking a bite of her sandwich. 'What have you been teaching,' he asked in-between bites of his sandwich.

'Well today I am teaching a class in advanced bone healing. So that they will be able to heal quickly but correctly in a difficult situation, like on a mission.' 'Interesting, Temari was also telling me you have shortened the waiting time to see a doctor?' Gaara questioned.

'Yes, most of the doctors would take long brakes and try and see the least amount of people they could,' Sakura explained, 'so I told them if I saw them doing nothing that they could kiss their jobs goodbye.' 'How did they take this?' Gaara was interested.

'Most said that I couldn't find anyone to replace them and I said watch me, after I fired the first one most of the just got down to work. Now I have no problem with any of them,' Sakura said proudly. 'I hope I haven't lost to many doctors?' Gaara asked. 'Only four,' Sakura said as sweetly as she could.

As Sakura and Gaara talked to each other like the rest of the world wasn't there, Temari was grinning to herself. Seems like these two have an interest in each other. Without making a sound Temari stood up and left the table.

I might just have to cancel her class today if they keep going on like this. Looking back in through a window Temari saw smiled on both their faces. Then, much to Temari's surprise, Sakura gave Gaara a light punch on the arm. Gaara just laughed and kept talking.

Temari nearly swallowed her tongue when she saw that. No one could punch Gaara, even as a joke, and not get in trouble. But Sakura just did and she got away with it. Oh My God! Gaara is flirting with Sakura! He likes a girl! This is so unreal, I have to tell Kankuro.

With that Temari ran down the street towards the hospital, dying to call Kankuro. When she reached the front doors she jut when running in. not bothering to return any of the greetings people said she headed straight to the front desk.

Plopping down into the chair Temari picked up the phone and dialed it. She sat there waiting for him to pick up. 'What is it Temari I'm busy?' 'How did you know it was me?' she asked. 'Who else would call me during lunch and it says hospital on the caller id,' Kankuro said. 'Oh, whatever, you won't believe what just happened. Gaara, Sakura, and me were eating lunch at this restaurant when-'

'Temari if this has to do with you seeing some hot guy I don't care,' Kankuro interrupted. 'No that's not it, well I did but that's not the point.' 'Lets hope not,' Kankuro said, interrupting again. 'Well we were sitting there and Gaara and Sakura were talking, right, and all of a sudden they were flirting with each other.'

'Really?' Kankuro asked, actually interested in what his sister was saying. 'Yea, I saw her punch him on the arm.' 'Why would being punched on the arm be flirting?' Kankuro asked, being the stupid guy he is.

'It is when she does it in a playful way and he doesn't freak out on her for it,' Temari said. 'This is so strange, Gaara and Sakura, you just don't see it working out,' Kankuro tried picturing them together, it was very hard. 'That's why we have to make it work,' Temari said. 'You're planning something aren't you?' 'Indeed I am brother, ok I will explain later, but stop everything you're doing and get over here and fast.'

Temari hung up the phone quickly because Sakura and Gaara were coming in the front doors. They were still talking but when they saw her Gaara came straight over and Sakura was pulled away by another doctor.

'And where did you go?' he asked. 'Oh I had to come back here, the person watching the phone for me had to leave so I had to come back,' Temari lied, patting herself on the back for such a good lie. 'And you found that all out while you sat with us down the street in a different building?' Gaara asked raising a non-existing eyebrow. 'Yes,' Temari said, not letting up with her lie.

Before Gaara could say anything more Sakura came up and pulled him away. 'If you want to sit in on my class you can't be late.' 'How can I, I'm with the teacher,' Gaara said as they walked down the hall.

A minute later a very tired Kankuro burst through the front door. 'Good you here, ok here's the plan,' Temari said whispering her brilliant plan into Kankuro's ear. He smiled through the whole thing, loving the scheme she had come up with.
