Chapter 2

Blindfold

{Still flashback}

The claking of their shoes echoed down the stairwell, along with the huffing of their excited breath. The two pulled each other faster and faster downward to the door. They pushed it open and stepped out to the confetti covered streets, and looked up at the open windows above them. Each little piece of paper, much like a small bird fluttered through the air and perched itself on the ground with the other pieces. The air was dry and the sun made the buildings glisten with orange and red. The songs and cheers grew more and more distant as so did the footsteps of the solders. They walked and kicked up confetti looking for their clothes but none were found, they turned to each other and smiled cheekily.

"You think a solder saved our little flags?" Temari asked.

"Maybe, who knows?" she chirped back.

And they slowly followed the solders humming to themselves the tunes that were sung.

"Hey Sakura" Temari questioned.

"Mmhm?"

"I hope someone cute got our flags!" she sighed and sakura turned to see her friends eyes sparkling.

"I would think you would hope your brother got them." Temaris' look turned guilty "Who else would recognize your name?" Sakrua said smiling to herself as she walked on.

"Way to kill the kick there Saku" Temari retorted.

"Anytime" she chimed back.

They had followed the march all the way through and around Suna. They grouped up once they had marched throughout all of Suna and they broke off into who lived in Suna and those who would return the following week to Konaha, much like Sakura the returning solders were very eager to return home with good news and few casualties.

Temari and Sakura scanned the crowed for a red head- Gaara, but to no avail could find him. Suddenly a young man snuck up behind Temari and covered her eyes with one of her died cloths from earlier. Sakura watched as he signed for her to be quiet.

"Guess who?" the red head asked.

"GAARA!" she turned around and hugged him "Your alright!" she smiled and tears streamed down her cheeks "I was so worried".

Both Gaara and Sakura looked a little shocked as she seemed the most relaxed and confident of his safety before.

"Its okay, I'm fine" he said in a monotone voice as he hugged his sister back.

They turned to Sakura, and Temari had a look of surprise on her face. All of a sudden Sakura could only see purple and felt a hand on the back of her head. She smiled to herself at who it could be.

"Guess Who?' she heard someone ask her.

"I don't know." She replied with her heart racing.

Slowly the cloth was removed and she spun around to see who it was.

"Sasuke" she whispered out "I didn't know you were drafted out to the war too" she said in amazement and worry "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, don't worry I hurt everyone else" he smiled "How about you? I never knew they were drafting out kunoichi too, are you alright?"

"Yes, yes I'm-I'm okay…" she felt herself blushing "I was actually the assistant doctor here in Suna"

"I see, well that's great I'm glad to hear your alright." He smiled to her and was introduced himself to Temari.

'he was glad to hear I was okay? Did he mean more then that? Oh Sasuke' she thought to herself as they walked back to Temaris' apartment.

**************************Apartment***************************

" O O O H ONE IS THE LONLIEST NUMBER THAT THERE EVER WAS -" a lonely Kankuro sang.

"Kankuro?" confused blue eyes searched for their brother.

"GAARA!" he screamed throughout the house "I'm in the medical room!"

Gaara shot back to Temaari.

"Medical room? Is he okay? Did you add another room?" he asked not very worried.

"The 'living room' was converted to a medical room so he could rest. He's okay now, I have stopped the poison and gave him the antidote in time so he will be fine, his emuine system just needs to regain its original strength" Sakura smiled up to Gaara.

"Thank you" he gruffed out into her ear as he hugged her.

"It's my job so you don't need to thank me!" she said as Temari lead them to Kankuro.

'wow, Sakura is amazing' Sasuke thought to himself.

{Author's Note} so that was chapter 2 I know it is much shorter then 1 but the next chapter is where it gets really intresting! Thanks for reading and hope you continue to do so!

P.S.: to anyone who was wondering, I did not and still do not have a set time period as to when this is all occurring. Obviously it is not so 'in tune' with the anime time. Though it may work with that time frame or an earlier one.
