(After dinner.)

"Alright well I'm gonna hit the hay. Night guy's." Temari annouced after her and Sakura finished the dishes.

"Yeah me to. Im still wipe out from my mission." Kankuro added as the two headed upstairs to their rooms leaveing just Gaara and Sakura in the living room.

"So. You wanna watch a movie?" Gaara asked breaking the silence as he headed over to the movie case.

"Sure I don't have work tomorrow so I don't have to be up early." Sakura said as she sat down on the couch and watched Gaara put in a movie.

"Huh are you tired already?" Gaara teased jokingly with a rare smile that let you know he was kidding.

"No." Sakura laughed. " More like ordered by the head nurse, she said I was working to hard." She explined with a smile.

"Ah yes I remember Ms. Bara complining how it was unhealthy for you to be pushing yourself like you were. And it seems that she has forced us both to take a day off." Gaara said as he started the movie.

"Hey I didn't know medics could force a kage to take a break." Sakura said with confusion.

"Only the head nurse if it seems that the work is indangering the kage's health." Gaara explined as he sat down next to Sakura and placed his arm across the back of the couch.

"Huh well you learn something new everyday i guess." Sakura said as she leaned into Gaara a little and turned to watch the movie Gaara had chosen and hideing her face in Gaara's chest a few minutes later out of fright. (He chose another horror movie.)

(Halfway through the movie.)

"Hey Sakura, can I ask you a question?" Gaara asked uncertionally as Sakura hide her face in his chest for the millonth time since the begainning of the movie.

"Sure." Sakura said as she stopped hideing in his chest and turned to face him.

"Well the thing is that I-I've started to like you as more then a friend and I-I was wondering if you might fell the same way?" Gaara said with a blush adorning his normally pale cheeks.

"Y-yeah." Sakura stuttered as she blushed redder then Gaara's hair and looked down at her lap.

"Really!" Gaara asked as he tilted her head up to look into her eye's to see if she was lying, and was pleased to find that her eye's held nothing but the truth.

"Yeah..." Sakura begain only to be cut of by Gaara's lips on her's and she quickly kissed him back.

Gaara felt a surge of male pride at the quickness of Sakura's response to his kiss and got a bit dareing so he decieded to lick Sakura's bottom lip in request for intrance, which Sakura happily obliged to parting her lips and burying her hands in his crimson hair. Gaara's tounge darted into Sakura's mouth as he pulled the pinkett onto his lap, his hands travaling down to her hips earning a moan from the pinkett. Relectantly breaking the kiss for air Gaara regained his breath and watched as Sakura caught her's.

"So what does this make us now." Sakura asked after she could breath normally.

Gaara looked into the pinketts eye's and replyed. "Mates. That is if your ok wtih it." Saying the last part with hope.

"Mates." Sakura tested the word out and felt a strong satisfaction brought on by the thought of everything the word entitled. "I like it." Sakura said to a relived Gaara who had for a brief moment been worried she would say no.

"You do know by acceptting the status of being my mate your tieing yourself to me forever." Gaara said wanting to know what she was agreeing to.

"I know. I was there when Naruto explined it to Hinata. It also means that we belong to eachother." Sakura said with a smile before she gave Gaara a peck on the lips before deeping the kiss.

'Boy we need to leave our mark on her.' Shukaku said as Gaara and Sakura continued kissing while they breathed throgh their noses.

As if on que Sakura broke the kiss. "And I also know that I'll have to be marked by you." Sakura said

"And do you know what has to happen between us while I'm marking you Sa-ku-ra? Gaara asked purring her name.

Sakura blushed and nodded her head yes.

Gaara smiled. "You know Temari and Kankuro won't be here tomorrow if you like I can mark you then." He said with a smirk at how hard she was blushing as he turned off the movie.

"Ok." Sakura said as Gaara pulled her to his room for the night.

They were just outside Gaara's door when Sakura called "Gaara..." The pink haired kunoichi waited for the blood-red haired to acknowledge her.

"Yes Sakura?" the kazekage responded and turned around when the girl didn't continue and found himself get lost in the girls emerald-green orb that sparkled simeler to the jewel from whinc the color came.

Sakura broke the silence between them, "Thank you for showing me how to love again." She said in a voice that was like honey in warm tea on a cold night. Then reading the silent plea that was communteted through Gaara's green-blueish tinted eyes and gave a small nod. After the kunoichi's small nod Gaara leaned down towards her pressing his lips to her gingerly for a moment or two before licking her bottom lips requesting intrance into her mouth, a request Sakura gladly obliged to and soon a tounge battle for dominace waged until the two had to break apart for air leaning their foreheads against eachother.

While they were recovering their much needed breath Gaara whispered to Sakura "I love you."

To which Sakura quickly replied "I love you two." And with that the two went in Gaara's room and layed down. (They had put their pajama's on before the movie.) Bidding eachother goodnight as Gaara went into meditation and Sakura went to sleep.
