I don't own Naruto or it's characters. I only wish.

Sasori was getting ready to fight next, but all Sakura could think about was how she was going to escape Gaara later.

She knew that she had to find Sasori after everything was over if she wanted to have any chance of getting out of there alive.

Sasori was walking into the ring and Sakura couldn't help but smile, despite her dilemma. The bell rang and she couldn't help but watch in wonder as the man who she was going to marry was almost like dancing with his opponent. She was glad that she belonged to him, he was so powerful and smart. She always felt safe, that's why she always fell in love with boxers. He was also fast. Sasori was the second fastest person she knew when it came to being in the ring. Gaara was the first.

In the years that they were together, Gaara would never fail to impress Sakura with his skills when he boxed. He always easily took down all of his opponents with his swift, careful yet powerful moves.

That's why she always felt so safe with him too. She hoped she was wrong, but if Sasori found out that the Gaara she left those few years back was this Gaara, things would get bad.

The bell rang again snapping Sakura out of her train of thought. Sasori was done and won like always. She couldn't be happier, but there were now only a few more matches to go until the event was over. Which means that he will be up soon. This weighed her happiness down by 1,000 pounds.

"Sakura, don't worry, we're all here, he won't try anything." Ino reassured her pink haired friend and laid a hand on her shoulder. 'At least I don't think he will.' Ino thought to herself.

More people were coming out into the ring…including another certain red head with an attitude.

Gaara looked at her in that instant telling her with his eyes that she better stay after everything was over. Or else.

And after seeing the expression that was now on her face, he couldn't help but give a deep chuckle. And the thought of her actually trying to escape from him, because he knew very well that she will indeed try, made him grin an even wickeder grin.

He will catch her. And he will take back what is rightfully his.

'Wow, he still moves as good as he used too. No, he moves even better than he used to.' Sakura said to herself while openly staring at the man who she used to be in love with. She knew that she still felt something for him, she always will. Even though she tells herself every day that she needs to just move on, she never truly will forget about him though. Especially not now.

She has a fiancé that she is in love with. Gaara was just a thing of the past. He probably wouldn't ever forgive her anyways. It wasn't like she had a choice to leave him after all.

The bell rang again signaling that the match was over. Gaara had won, she knew he would right off the bat. He always wins.

A new pair came out to the ring, apparently the last match. This wasn't good.

When this was over, Sakura decided that her and her friends needed to go find Sasori ASAP.

It wasn't too long that they had to wait though, this match was over in about 5 minutes. A huge guy was against a smaller one. You could tell who won from the beginning.

Here was their chance. They all got up with the rest of the crowd and tried to blend in but yet move swiftly.

This wasn't the easiest thing for Sakura to do. She stood out the most out of the whole crowd itself, this was another time she dreaded having pink hair. She loved having it because it was unique, but she always felt that she stands out too much, and she hates being the center of attention.

"Over there!" Kiba was pointing to a shirtless red head with a towel around his neck. The right read head that they were looking for.

They swiftly made their way over to where he was talking with some of the other boxers.

Upon seeing the group walking towards Sasori, all the people he was talking to said their goodbyes and left. Sakura ran and literally jumped into his arms as he spun her around. "You did great tonight, as always." Sakura said with her arms raped around his neck. "Thanks babe. Did you guys have fun?" Sasori asked the rest of the group while having one arm around Sakura's waist. Sakura, now facing the rest of the group, gave them all a relieved look. They all agreed that they did, and silently silently gave the same look of relief.

Naruto suddenly was staring in another direction. Everyone followed his gaze to see none other than the person Sakura was trying to escape.

As Gaara looked around, he saw the group, including Sakura. And in the arms of someone else. So he started heading over to where they were and discovered that the man with his arm around her was his opponent in two weeks. Sasori.

"Oh hey Gaara." Sasori greeted him as he made his way over to them. "Hey." He nodded, glancing at Sakura out of the corner of his eye. "Guys, this is Gaara. I'm going to be fighting him in the event in two weeks." Sasori introduced them.

"Ya, we know him. We actually grew up with him." Naruto said with a fake smile.

"Really?" Sasori answered in surprised.

Sakura raped her arm tighter around Sasori. She couldn't believe this was happening.

Right in front of her was the man that she hoped she would never run into again. Looks like that plan never fell through.

"Hello Sakura." Gaara said with a smirk on his face. "Hey Gaara." she replied, a fake smile plastered on her face. "Good seeing you again." he continued. "You too." she said bluntly, trying to end the conversation as soon as possible.

"Well, now that we have all caught up, we should really be going. We still got the after party to go to after all." Kiba butted in, saving Sakura from certain death.

"He's right for once. We should get home and change." Ino followed.

"Are you going tonight Gaara?" Sasori asked before anyone could move.

"Wouldn't miss it." He replied with a grin this time and glanced at Sakura who in return glared at him.

"Alright. Well then we can all hang out tonight and have some fun." Sasori replied.

"Okay, see you there then. Nice seeing you again guys." Gaara said and gave one last nod to all of them and one last glance to Sakura, who was still glaring at him. He decided to let it go. Tonight he was gonna make her regret ever leaving him, and he will be there with open arms whenever she figures out that mistake.

"Wow Sakura. You look so beautiful." Sasori said while hugging her from behind as she looked at herself in the long mirror in their room.

She was wearing a black cocktail dress with red frayed out at the bottom and little red designs around the neck and waist. Her short pink hair was up in a messy bun that made her look even more breathtaking. She was wearing matching black heels with red on the edges and some on the top of the shoe.

"Eh." Sakura shrugged as if it wasn't anything. And walked out of his grasp and into the living room. "You look better." She yelled back at him from the living room.

Knocking on the door was heard followed by a 'Come In' from Sakura.

"Well you look nice." Naruto casually said. "Same goes for you. You're actually wearing a tux, that's a surprise." Sakura replied while hugging her best friend. Well her other best friend besides Ino that is.

"What? No hug for me?" Kiba walked out from behind Naruto. "Of course." Sakura replied and rolled her eyes as she hugged him as well.

"Well we should really get going if we want to be there on time." Sasori cut in as he walked into the room.

They walked out of the apartment a couple minutes later and made their voyage to the party. The party where what is waiting there scared Sakura more than anything else.

Sorry for such a short chapter, but I just had to get to the part where Sakura and Gaara meet once again. I know I always apologize for short chapters, but what can I say, I try. Anyways, R&R Thanks! :
