“SAKURA!” Gaara yelled. She was still too far to hear him. (*) She ran straight into a crowded road. “Perfect…” thought Gaara.
“Hello, have you seen Sunogakure’s Kazekage anywhere?” Sakura asked an old man with a bag of groceries. He shook his head and walked away. “Hello, have you seen Sunogakure’s Kazekage anywhere?” Sakura asked a woman with two children.
“No, not since he took off at the exam,” the woman answered.
“Ok, thank you for your time,” Sakura bowed. The woman nudged her two children into a store. Sakura continued asking around, but no one had seen him. She began loosing hope after asking at least 20 people. Gaara stayed in the shadows and searched for Sakura from the air. He couldn’t spot her in the sea of people. His patience thinned as his anxiousness grew. All the sudden…

a perverted picture of Sakura flashed in his head.
“Mmm… Gaara-sama (*) come and get me…,” Gaara’s perverted image erotically tempted. She was wearing practically nothing and… he imagined her breasts at least three times bigger. A stream of blood dripped down his left nostril.
“Eh, heh heh hee…,” He chuckled, giving into his own mind.

Sakura gave up asking around and jumped up into a tree. She lay flexed on a branch, lazily. Her eyes half way closed, she felt like falling asleep, until a blurry image stood in front of her. She opened her weary eyes to see who it was. SUDDENLY tension grabbed her “COULD IT BE GAARA?!” Sakura screamed within herself. She quickly got up to see who it was. IT WAS GAARA!
“Sakura-chan long time no see,” Gaara welcomed.
“AH! Gaara! I thought I’d never find you!” Sakura exclaimed as she stood up to hug him. Wait… he smelled like… ramen? She let go of the hug and looked at Gaara’s face. WAIT?! She grabbed his hair, angrily and pulled it down.
“HEY NARUTO YOU FORGOT GAARA’S KANJI LOVE SYMBOL!!” Sakura screamed.
“AH! OW OW OW OW!!!” Naruto yelped. Suddenly a poof appeared and Naruto turned back into his normal self. Sakura let go of his hair and punched his head aggressively. “Eh he he so you’ve been looking for Gaara… What are you two in loooove??” Naruto teased while holding up his pinky finger.
“NARUTO I SWEAR IF YOU PULL ANOTHER PRANK LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN I’LL PUNCH YOU ALL THE WAY INTO THE !@#$%^& NEXT COUNTRY!! ~ ~ ~,” Sakura screamed continuously without end. Finally she pushed him off the tree and got down. “YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING SO STUPID EVER AGAIN!!” Sakura screamed. She jumped down the tree and began walking again. Naruto ran away like a frightened mouse. Sakura adjusted her leather gloves and walked off. She quickly jumped on the rooftop of a hotel. She thought of looking for Gaara from a birds eye view.
“I found you Sakura.” GASP! Sakura turned around and saw someone directly in front of her it was… Gaara… or was it?
“Naruto I swear! If that’s you I-”
“Shh…,” Gaara said while putting a finger on Sakura’s lips. “I came here to apologize,” Gaara interrupted.
“How do I know your not just Naruto trying to get me to go out with him?” Sakura tested.
“Because… Naruto didn’t come looking all over for you, just to tell you that… what happened about an hour ago will never happen again. It was completely my fault you felt betrayed. I promise never to hurt you again… and if I do in any way I’ll-” Sakura put her finger on is lips this time.
“I believe you.” She insured. There was silence between the two. ~ ~ ~  “Gaara… Thank you….” Sakura slowly reached down and gently intertwined her fingers with his. He looked away a little to hide a small blush. Sakura noticed it and put her other hand on his cheek. Gaara was feeling unbelievable feeling, but… for her… he held everything back. He didn’t even dare moving. “Gaara?” Sakura asked, with her head cocked slightly. Gaara backed off slightly and announced,
“Sakura.. Trust me… I really don’t think we should be together… Every time you touch me in some way… I… turn into a monster…” He turned around and let go of her hand. “Sakura… I don’t want to hurt you… Good-bye…”
“WAIT! GAARA!” Sakura pleaded. Gaara turned around and faced her. “What if… I didn’t want you to leave? What if… I wanted… you?” Sakura whispered.
“I’m still a monster…” Gaara doubted.
“Gaara…,” Sakura reached out to grab his hand. She pulled him closer to her and quickly sealed her argument with a passionate kiss. “I don’t care…”

Da End
