I walked back into Gaara's appartment after a long talk with temari. Temari mostly helped me understand what was to come. She told me that she would bring her kids by one day but she told me that right now they are staying at a friends till she gets the new place ready for them. She wouldn't tell me where or anything about the new place for some reason.

I searched the room but no Gaara nor Kankuro. I wasn't going to wrap my brain around where they may have gone, so I just went to the nursery. There was a new addition and that was the light colored pull out couch. It had two blankets and a pillow on top of it already. He set it up just incase I came back. I oulled it out and got it ready. I slipped my pants back off and slipped into bed immidetly falling asleep.

When I woke I sat up and noticed that it was 7 oclock already. I hopped out of bed and put my pants on and my shirt. I looked around the apartment for Gaara but I couldn't find him anywhere. I guessed that he probably went out for something or stayed out with Kankuro. I didn't care it wasn't like I was in an acual relationship with Gaara. Was I? I didn't care ither way because he said that he didn't care. I walked down the hall to the elevator. When I arrived at the appartment there was noone there. I knew that I didn't have time to take a shower so I just slipped on some sweat pants and a black tank top.

I walked out and went down the elevator. Once I was across the street and into the dorm part of the school I heard people shouting. Great another stupid fight where no teachers are.

"Sakura" I looked up and seen shino, kiba, and hinata. "Ray and Gaara are at it again!" Kiba said.

"Come on" Shino told me and we rounded the courner to find people cheering for Ray.

I walked infront of the crowd and seen Gaara and Ray punching at each other. It was weird that Gaara wasn't using his sand. I wondered what the hell they were fighting about this time.

"Stop it you too!" I yelled. Gaara looked over at me and that left a window open for Ray which he took. Ray hit Gaara in the face. Gaara struggled backward but he didn't fall. I had my hands over my mouth because that was my fault.

"Ray stop this" The school bell rang but noone moved or stopped cheering for Ray. Ray didn't even act like I was there at all. He just ignored me the whole time. I looked over at Gaara seeing his bloody face but Ray didn't look like he had a scratch on him. I was horrified that Gaara was letting Ray do this to him.

I took a step forward but someone grabbed my arm and held me back. I looked back and it was shino.

"Remember the last time you interfered" Shino said pulling me back/ I knew that Gaara would loose his temper sooner or later and I couldn't let that happen. I shook off shino-

"Stop this BULLSHIT!" I yelled and everything seemed to be in slow motion. The sand built a wall around me and Gaara then pulsed out. I looked around and everyone was on there back or stomach. Some people cried out in pain but I just stared at Gaara as he stared back at me. I put my hand on my stomach and couldn't believe what I just did.

"Sakura lets get out of here" Shino said grabbing my hand making me follow him. I looked back at the crowd that I just hurt and seen Ray and Gaara both watching me leave.

Shino brought me to the front of the schools main building before stopping. Kiba and Hinata both looked at me like I was some kind of freak or something.

"How long have you known that you could do that?" Kiba asked me.

"It wasn't me that did it." I rubbed my stomach before continuing. "She built a wall around me and Gaara before she did it that way it didn't hurt us.

"She doesn't know" Kiba said looking at shino.

"Know what?" I asked curious

"It didn't hurt us either. It went over and around us but it didn't build a wall like it did with you and Gaara." I looked down at my stomach and smiled. She knows who my friends are and that is really special.

"You want to go in yet?" Shino asked hinata and I smiled seeing that it was so sweet. "We'll see you later" kiba told me walking in the building with his hand around hinata.

"Thats sweet" I said to noone in particular. I leaned against the wall and just looked up.

"I have to tell you something. I was going to wait but-

"What is it?" I asked shino smiling.

"I am moving into an apartment today" He told me and I jumpped.

"Wow you must be so excited. Which one is it?" I asked because I know that not a lot of apartments are for sell because of student who go here are taking all of them,

"Well it wasn't for hardly any money because noone wanted it because of who lived next door." Shino said and he looked like he wanted me to figure it out.

"Wait, you mean that one beside Gaara's?" I asked and he nodded. "Thats Great!" I said and hugged him. "I was going to shop for clothes but do you want me to help you" Shino looked at me simpathized.

"Your pregnant. You don't need to be carring things that are heavy" Shino told me and I looked down.

"Yeah yeah, I know" I said standing up straight..

"Theres something else" I looked up at shino seeing him dig in his pocket for something. He held his hand out to mine and gave me something. I looked in my hand and it was the key to his apartment.

"Umm-

"Its just a place to go if you need it." He said smiling at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"I guess we better get inside before we get caught out here" I told him and he nodded.

We walked into the intersection of the big halls then went our seprete ways. I walked into Kakashi's room and everybody turned and stared. Hinata just smiled slightly making me smile.

"Haruno, why are you late?" kakashi asked me.

"I was kind of having a bad morning. It had something to do with the smell of bacon making me-"

"Okay we don't need details. Just sit down." Sakura couldn't believe that she just used her kid as an excuse.

Hinata told me what poem we were in the middle of reading and the page. I flipped my book to that page. I didn't even pay attention to people talking about that certain poem. I just looked out the window. I wonder when this madness will stop with Ray and Gaara. I didn't know what to do about it. The truth is that Gaara is the father which means that no matter what I do he will be in my life or rather our daughters life. Ray, he is just someone who is trying so hard to make sure that I stay safe. I don't know what to do with the two of them. I just needed a day away from them. Thats it. I grabbed a sheet of notebook paper writing down something.

Hinata,

After school do you want to go shopping for some baby girl clothes. I just need to be away from ray and gaara right now. I don't know what to do about them but we'll talk about that later.

I slipped the paper onto Hinata's desk. She read it and frowned. I knew that look on her face and that meant that she had other plans but she is to polight to blow me off too. She wrote something back and handed it to me.

Sakura,

I'm sorry but I promised Tenten that I would hang out with her today.

I looked over to the other side of the room beside neji and there was tenten. She looked to be her old self not the one that ino made her out to be.

hinata,

Ask her if she wants to come alone. I ain't mad at her and this gives us a chance to make up.

Hinata smiled at that one and looked over at me nodding her head. I hope this doesn't go wrong because of everything I usually try fails.

The door opened to the room and everyone looked to find it was Gaara. His face was black and blue but all the blood was gone.

"Gaara-" Kakashi seen Gaara's face and just dismissed it. "Go take your seat" Kakashi didn't want to piss off Gaara even more. He came over and sat in his seat next to mine. I looked up at him noticing the brusis just now started to get bad. Why did he let Ray beat him up for. Gaara looked over at me but it wasn't a happy look, it was just a depressed look. Everyone in the room seemed to be surprised that someone could actually beat up Gaara. I looked down back at my books.

When the bell rang everyone was clearing out with one final look at Gaara. I felt kind of sorry for Gaara. I don't know what got into him to let himself get beat up but it wasn't good. Me and Gaara both walked down the hallway in silence. Once outside we Tsunade took one look at him and sent him to the nurses office which he went without any backtalk.

"What happened to him" Tsunade asked as I sat down on the grass next to Kankuro.

"He got into a fight with Ray" I said after long silence.

"What?" Tsunade asked

"This morning on the dorm room side he got into a fight. Thats mostly why there were a lot of student late to school" I told her which she just nodded. I knew she was thinking that same thing that I was. How can he get hurt when noone usually can lay a scratch on him. Then I added "Why don't you ever get on to those who fight on that side" I had to ask

"Sakura, You kids will do what you want anyway. Even if you get introuble you will do it." She did have a point there. Just because you threaten them with going to court or being put in a police car doesn't stop anyone from kicking each others asses. "You kids going to be okay for this period?" She said standing up. We nodded and she walked in.

"What do you think that is about?" I asked Kankuro but he just shrugged. I got this nasty feeling that something was wrong. Like i did something wrong. "What's up? Why are you acting like this?" I asked him.

"Gaara, he wouldn't have gotten beat up if he didn't care about you." Kankuro said looking down at the ground.

"What? That doesn't explain-" Kankuro got up off the ground helpping me up as well.

"Your friends with Ray?" Kankuro said as if he was asking me a question and I nodded. "Gaara thought that if he was to use his sand against Ray then you would get mad at him and he didn't want that. So the only way he thought of was to ruin his reputation at school but keep you happy" kankuro said and it really made a lot of since. Why he didn't even lay a finger on Ray. I bet Ray even knows the reason that Gaara wasn't fighting back. I immidetly slapped my forehead.

"How could I have been so stupid" I said to myself pacing. "Why in the world would he do that for me.?" I said right before our lunch bell went off. Kankuro started heading back but when he noticed that I wasn't coming with him he looked back at me. "You go ahead, I need to-" I didn't even finish that line because whatever I made up would have been a lie and I didn't want to lie to him. I walked back across the road to the apartments.

Once I was in my room in ray's apartment I sat down on my bed just thinking. I didn't want Gaara to get beat up. Ray's should have stopped after he hit Gaara. What am I going to do now? I don't want to be torn apart by the both of them.

Knock knock

Who in the world would know that I am here. I got up and answered the door. It was shino.

"How?" I asked him

"Kankuro told me to check on you. He said you might of came here" Shino said smiling. Once he came inside he shut the door and hugged me.

"Shino, I have no clue what I am doing anymore" He walked me over to the couch and we sat down. His arms around me and my head on his chest.

"Sakura, just do what feels right to you. Choose who feels right to you" Shino was sating rubbing my arm going up and down.

"Thanks" I said looking up at him. "For some reason you make me feel better. Its like you know exactly what to say and do" I put my head back on his chest.

"Your my best friend Sakura. We have been through a lot of things. I know how to handle you" Shino said then I felt his chest move and he was laughing.

"Shut up. I know how to handle you to." I said joinning his laughing with mine.

"Sakura" I sat up on the couch and looked at him. "I am ditching the rest of the school day-

"Oh shino you are becoming bad. Missing two days" I laughed and he chuckled.

"I know but I really need your help to"

"Where do you want me?" I asked then we bursted out laughing "I'm sorry, How should I help?" I said still laughing.

"I have to bring the rest of the boxes in from my car but you can start in my room by decorating" I smiled at him because that is one thing that I was good at." Oh and I bought some new furniture and the people just put it all in the living room so leave that to me to move" He said like I was going to actually move something.

"Okay okay, lets go and start. I'll be in your room" I said getting off the couch.

I headed off and up the elevator to the one beside gaaras. I had the key in my pocket still since he just gave it to me earlier. I walked though and opened the door beside Gaara's. It was really beautiful. When I walked in I walked straight into the kitchen with a dinning room beside it. Then I went down three steps I was in a livingroom. I heard a noise and turned back around to see shino coming in with 4 boxes.

"Shino you know there is a such thing as the word help" I told him but he just dropped the boxes.

"No you don't need to carry anything big" He told me what I had already knew.

"Yes, officer" I said standing up straight then I laughed. "Is this all?" I asked him and he nodded. "Yes now we get to the fun part" I said looking around "But where are the bedrooms and bathrooms" I asked and he smiled. We walked down into the livingroom but there was no bedrooms. Shino went over to what looked like a cabinet door and opened it. My jawl dropped at the sight. I walked over to it and hopped up into the bedroom. It was beautiful and such a bright blue color.

"My bedroom is done and so is the guest room and the bathrooms. The only thing that was left for me to do was the livingroom" Shino said. I stepped out of the room and went over to the guest room. It was a peach color with a dresser and a bathroom beside it and a bed with brown covers over it.

"This is the most perfect place!" I told him and he laughed. I walked back in the living room and looked at the 64'' plasma screen tv that was on the wall. It was the perfect place for anybody. I looked at the furniture and it was a grey couch, a loveseat and a chair.

"If you move the couch like infront of the tv but not to close to it" I showed him where to put the couch and he pushed it. "The loveseat can go on the right and the chair can go on the left." I told him which he did exactly what I said. I wanted to help push but i knew that he wouldn't let me.

"okay done. It looks good. You know you don't get paid for this right?" Shino said sarcasticly.

"Oh but I was hopping for at least a tip" I said laughing

"Fine." Shino came around to me and put a penny on the counter top. My mouth dropped and I hit him playfully and he laughed.

"Thats messed up its like saying that I am worth only a penny" I told him crossing my arms pretending that I was mad.

"Aw I'm sorry" Shino said wrapping his arms around me and kissed my forehead. Then he went back and moved the table to a place where he thought it should go.

"Its a coffee table. Move it infront of the couch" He followed my directions and it ended out perfect.

I walked over to the kitchen area to see what he had in there already but he didn't have hardly anything yet.

"I could make us some hot coco" I told him and he laughed.

"I guess since there is nothing else here to make" Shino said.

He had everything he needed but food. He had pans, pots and plastic cups but no food. I got out the pot and started on the hot coco. I have only did this about a thousand times so I knew what to do by heart. I looked over to see what shino was doing and laughed because he put the end table on the wrong side of the couch.

"Shino try putting the end table between the couch and loveseat then the other one between the couch and the chair" I told him mixing up sugar with my hot coco.

"Thanks. Maybe you are worth more that a penny" Shino said and I threw the penny at him.

"Meanie" I told him then heard someone shut a door. I turned toward the hall then back at Shino.

"That was Gaara. Go check up on him" Shino said and I smiled at him. He really did get me.

I poured shino a cup of hot coco and gave it to him. Then I poured me and Gaara a cup and went out. I grabbed the other key from my pocket and went in. He had closed all the blinds and they were black so there was no light hardly coming in. I walked through and found him on the bed with his head down.

"Gaara" I said and he looked up at me. I could see the brusing of his face even in the dark. "I brought you some hot coco" I said handing it toward him which he took without saying anything. I sipped my coco then sat it down on the end table. "Gaara please tell me that you didn't get beat up for me" I said getting down on my knees infront of him that way he had to look at me. I knew he wouldn't tell me so I just kept on talking. "Gaara I would never want you or Ray to get hurt. I knew that if you thought that hitting him would separate us then your crazy. Even if there isn't an us, I would still never want to see you this way." I looked down and wished that there was something I could do that would help my situation and his. "I know you say that you don't care about anything but I know you do. Even if you don't care about me I know you care about our daughter" I said then I got up. If he didn't want to talk then I guess I don't know why I even showed up.

The minute that I turned away from him I felt him grabbing my arm turning me back around. He smashed his lips onto mine and I smiled into his kiss. I didn't know what was about his kisses that made me want to stay with him all day. I pulled my hand up to his face and around his neck to pull him even deeper into the kiss. When we pulled back for some air I kissed his cheek and his brusies.

Clap clap clap clap

I turned toward the door to see kankuro, tenten, hinata and shino clapping. I laughed and looked at Gaara who wasn't smiling on the outside but he was on the inside.

"So are you two offical yet?" Tenten asked but in a nice way and I was glad to have her back. I looked at Gaara and he smiled at me.

"I guess we are" I said still looking at Gaara and his lips moved up into a smile.
