SakuGaa-Help Me Love

A girl with long pink hair and deep emerald eyes was walking to the edge of town. The sun was out and the birds were singing but she felt so sad that day. She was going to the sand village to heal the wounded and get some R&R. She was halfway there when someone called her name.

“Sakura!! Sakura wait!”

She turned around to see a boy her age with shiny spiky blond hair, big blues orbs for eyes, and faded whisker marks on his cheeks. “Hey Naruto. Is there something I can help you with?”

The boy had finally caught up to her. He grins one of his usual fox grins. “Not really Sakura just I wanted to see you before you go. How long are you supposed to be  gone?”

“I think Tsunade said I will be over there for 5-6 months.” Sakura continues to walk and Naruto follows.

“Oh man really? Your going to be gone for so long.” A pout crosses his face.

“Ya but no worried I will be back as soon as im done.” They arrive at the gate leading out of town. “Well Naruto I guess this is where we separate.” tears started falling from her emerald eyes “Take care of Sasuke and everyone while im gone ok? And Naruto please take care.”

Strong arms wrap around her small figure. “Don’t cry Sakura. It wont be that long. And I will make sure everyone is taken care of…even Sasuke. Bye Sakura.” He slowly lets go gives her a smile and turns to walk away.

She watches him leave and then looks around her. She had the funny feeling that she wouldn’t be coming back. At least not as soon as Tsunade said. She steps pass the gates and starts her long walk to the sand village.

Several hours later she can see the village off in the distance. I wonder if Gaaraa knows im coming. Its been a couple years since I last saw him. She becomes lost in thought of what he was like and what he might be like now that she doesn’t notice a wall of sand sneaking up on her. Suddenly it collapses and Sakura spins around because when the sand fell it made a rain hitting the roof sound. Standing in front of her is a tall young man who looks just a few years older than her. He has short spiky dark red hair, cold emotionless  turquoise eyes,  and a red tattoo over his right eye that says love. He was looking at Sakura and the sand was shifting beneath his feet. “H-hey Gaaraa. How have you been?”

He doesn’t answer for a minute than says “Hello Sakura. I was informed by Tsunade that you were coming today. I shall escort you the rest of the way.”

Sakura smiles at him. “Ok.” He didn’t answer my question.

They start to walk towards the village and Sakura makes another attempt at conversation. “So how are you and your siblings?”

Gaaraa ignores it for a little bit but than decides to respond “Im well as for my siblings there just as useless as ever. Temari is head over heels about some guy named Shikamaru and Kankuro is being moody.”

“That’s good that your well. And Temari has some competition because Shikamaru likes Ino.”

Gaaraa doesn’t respond to that and so they just walk until they enter the village where Sakura is immediately wrapped in a pair of arms unknown to her.
