Sakura was surprisingly enjoying herself. Gaara's friends and sibblings had totally welcomed her with open arms. She was really beginning to open up a little more.
They knew she hated Sasuke, but they didn't know completely why. All she had said was that he betrayed her, and they dropped it at that. They also know about her cutting and how she's been an insomniac for a while.
Sakura had seen Sasuke. He was in a few of her classes, but because Gaara was right next to her, holding her hand, she controled herslelf.......barely. But she still managed.
Out of them all, she was easily drawn in to Temari. Temari was Gaara's older sister, not to mention the one that said Sakura could stay with them. Sakura felt as though she had known Temari all her life, even though they barely knew each other a day.
Gaara was also enjoying himself. He loved watching her smile. It made him realize that... if not for Sasuke, she could've been here. Sakura might've not been so rash and crazy, of course the blame also goes to her father. But still. Sakura was obviously born for people. She acts as though she hates human contact, but if you saw her from a stranger's point of view, you would've thought she was a total social. You can tell that if not for her tragic past, she would've been popular. And that scared Gaara.
It makes sad to think that....if her life had been relatively good, she would be popular. She'd most likely be dating Sasuke, and most likely scorn Gaara. Hate his very being. And he would've the same. It's sad to think that she had so much horrible crap happen to her, and all she got was him? She deserves so much more. But he would let fate decide. He was much too selfish to even want to let that happen. He knew that if he solely could choose for her to have a happy life or her life now, he would choose her life now. And he felt guilty. She deserves much more, he knows that, but he's too selfish.
School was officially over....and Sakura, Hinata, and Temari were planning on going somewhere. Gaara had no idea where.
"We'll be back soon, I promise," Sakura kissed his cheek.
He sighed, but nodded all the same. "Fine. But Temari," he turned to his sister, "if anything happens to Sakura, you'll want to die."
Temari gulped and nodded. "C-C'mon girls."
And they left......to the tattoo parlor....
When they got there, they were the onl ones.
"What can I do for you ladies?" a man with a bunch of tattoos and piercings came in.
"Well, the girls want a tattoo," Temari said for them.
"Alright. What kind of tattoo?"
Sakura spoke first, "I want mine to be in century gothic and it to say Gaara."
"Alright, I won't remember that. Girls, write everythang you want on the papers ova' there."
The girls dead, and Sakura decided to go first. Hinata was too scared.
"Alright girly, where you want this?"
"Um, on my right shoulder," Sakura said nervously.
"Alright, just to warn ya', this is painful."
Sakuta nodded and closed her eyes shut.
About hald an hour later......
"Alright missy, you all done."
That was it? It didn't hurt at all.
"Thanks," she lightly smiled and checked out her tattoo.
"Alright, next."
Hinata gulped, but still sat down.
"Um, Sakura, does it hurt?"
She looked at Hinata, "For me? Not a little. Maybe some for you." she nodded.
"So, where you want it?"
"Left shoulder," Hinata said quietly.
"Alright, here we go."
Another half later, Hinata was done.
"That'll be $48."
Hinata thought the pain was almost nothing. It hurt, but not as bad as you'd think.
They paid the man and went on their way.
"I wonder what the guys will think?" Temari asked, smirking.
Hinata and Sakura had the same thoughts.
