Sand Blossom

Chapter 6 : Betrayel

After the last kiss that we shared, my mind was on over drive. I felt fireworks ran through my body when he kissed me. It was like nothing I had ever experienced in my life. I looked at Gaara, who seemed to be focusing on the road, and I smiled. He was holding my hand and he was finally letting me in. Only 4 days till the wedding and everything was going according to planned. I gently squeezed his hand and he pulled me closer.

"Is everything alright?"' Gaara asked.

"Everything is fine, I was just thinking." I replied.

"What about?" Gaara asked.

"About the wedding, it's so hard to get everything together, but Temari said that she has everything under control, but I am still stressing. I am worried that something will go wrong." I said.

"I wouldn't worry. If Temari said that she has it handled, then she has it." Gaara said.

"I guess you are right." I said.

"I can still hear the worry in your voice." He said. I looked at him, to see compassion in his eyes.

"Gaara, a wedding in one week is a lot to plan, and almost not enough time. I am just stressing out about the fact that I still have so much to do." I said.

"I wish that you would quit stressing. It's not healthy for you." Gaara said, and pulled me into a kiss. 

"I will do my best." I said, and pulled away. 

I looked up at the road, and I realized that we were almost back to Gaara's house. This was going to be home soon. The house came into to view, and I realized that this was my home now, and soon all of my belongings would be here. I looked over at Gaara, but this time he didn't look at me. I could tell that he was focused on something, I just wasn't sure what it was. I thought long and hard about what I wanted. I knew that I wanted to be with Gaara, and that he could make me happy, we just needed to work through all of our rough patches.

I remained quit, but I couldn't shake this strange feeling that we were being followed. That is why Gaara hadn't looked at me, he was focused on the fact that someone was following us. I looked behind me and I could have sworn that I saw a dark figure lurking in the corner. I turned to Gaara and he seemed to notice to, but he wasn't showing it. I knew now that I wasn't going crazy, someone really was following us, but I couldn't see them

"I know that you are there. Now show yourself." Gaara demanded.

"Someone has good senses it would seem." Some sneered from the shadows.

"Who are you, and what is your business here?" Gaara demanded once again.

"Someone who is here to retrieve what belongs to me." The figure replied.

"There is nothing here that belongs to you. Now leave. You have no business here." Gaara said.

"Please show yourself." I said finally speaking up.

"My dear Sakura, I am here for you and I always get what I want." The figure stepped forward.

I saw the raven black hair first,  then the eyes. Those reds eyes. I could never forget them. The way that they pierced into your very soul and penetrated your mind. They could control you movements and turn you into someone that you are not.  He was ruthless and uncaring. It was Sasuke, but that was impossible, I killed him myself. We buried him, it is impossible that this person is him. Someone is playing a mind game with. I glared at the figure, furious that someone would play with my emotions this way. 

"You are not him, that is impossible." I said.

"Sakura, you told me that you killed Sasuke. If that was true then how is it that he is standing before us?" Gaara said, and there was an edge to his voice that I had never heard.
