That weekend was the greatest time of all their young lives. Tsunade was incredibly astounded by the boys' quick work on their hardest girls. Though, Tsunade knew nothing about their relationships with each other. Sakura was incredibly happy; it even astounded her how she was. For once in her life, she didn't want to hurt herself in any way. Hinata was coming out of her shell more and more. Sakura had already begun to start on that, but it seemed as though Naruto was even better at it. Sakura had also already been trying to help Hinata get out of there, because Hinata really didn't belong there, and she knew Naruto could get her out. Sakura still had no intention of leaving; it's where she belonged, so she thought. Though, Gaara had different beliefs. He believed he was getting through to her, but still had some trouble. He felt that within more time, he could get her out of there, and with him.
Yes, Gaara was trully, although barely knew her, deeply infatuated with her. He didn't know what it was. Her hair? Her eyes? Her mysterious personality? Her tragic reality? Or was it how she kissed him? How she gave in so easily? He trully didn't know what it was. All he knew for fact was that....He wanted to be with her....for a long time.
So now, it was Monday, and Naruto and Gaara had school......
"Gaara!" complained Naruto, "I miss Hinata!"
Gaara sighed, "We'll see them in 8 hours Naruto, I'm sure you can wait." Though, Gaara completely agreed with him. He missed Sakura so much. Being without her was inbearable!
"Aah! But that's so long!"
"Sasuke!" Oh no! Rabid fangirls!
"Naruto, 1 word for you."
"Yeah?" Naruto started hesitating.
"Run," and they ran as fast as their legs would take them. They eventually stopped, and landed to be near said Uchiha. "Naruto," said Gaara, "Should we have a talk with Uchiha?"
Naruto grinned, "No one treats Sakura that way. No one."
So, they walked up to Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke were best friends way back before high school, then Naruto met Gaara and Sasuke became prep. Gaara was cooler to Naruto because he didn't care what people thought of him, unlike Sasuke.
"Uchiha!" Gaara yelled, getting Sasuke's attention. "We need to talk."
Sasuke looked at them and walked to them, "What about?"
Then, Gaara said his favorite word in the entire world, "Sakura."
Sasuke's eyes greatly widened, and he pulled them into the classroom they were nearest to. He locked the doors, and tured around to face them.
"You know Sakura?" they nodded, "How?"
"Nuh-uh!" Naruto said, "First you tell us why you and you dick-wad of a brother had to ruin her life by leaving her there when you promised to be back there!"
"Naruto, quiet down," Gaara commanded, but then he looked back at Sasuke, "Tell the truth."
Sasuke smirked, "Why should I tell you? She's mine, so I don't have to give you any information on my possession."
Gaara growled, "She's not yours Uchiha, she's mine!"
Sasuke's smirk turned into a frown as Gaara started to smirk, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talkin' about her belonging to me. She's said it to my face quite a few times, and she hasn't seen you in 4 years. What do you make of that?"
Sasuke growled like a wild beast, and pulled Gaara's collar and shoved him to the wall, "Where is she?"
Gaara smirked, "That's none of your concern, only mine."
"Yeah Sasuke!" yelled Naruto, "You can't hurt her anymore! Neither can your brothe-"
"You don't know fucking anything Naruto!" Sasuke screamed, "You don't know what it's like to not have the only person you could ever love not be with you anymore! To have her also wanted by your older brother! I found her first, so she's mine!"
"You have plenty of other women Uchiha, choose one of them, like you alsways have."
"They're just for sexual satisfaction! All I want is Sakura!"
"Well sorry, Uchiha, but she's mine now, and I don't plan on losing her," he removed Sasuke's grip from his shirt, and walked away. But before he left, with Naruto right ahead of him, he spoke, "Unlike you," then he left.
As Naruto and Gaara walked to their homeroom, Naruto couldn't help but wonder, "What do you think about Sasuke? Do you think he really loved her?"
Gaara paused, "I do, but it's too late. He had plenty of chances to find her and get her back. I won't let him hurt her again, Naruto. If she wants to be with him if she ever sees him again, be my guest, but until then, she's mine. And I will never let her go."
