Tsunade leaves Sakura in Suna the day after Sakura is told she has to Marry Gaara. With only 1 week to plan a wedding to man that don't love her, how will she manage. She has no help from her friends, and Gaara is being heartless. He won't talk to S...
I woke up the next morning with dried tears on my cheeks. I had lost Gaara the man that I love, and now I was forced to go home. I knew what this meant for me. The Elders of both villages were very clear that if I failed to marry Gaara or I refused I would be arrested and tried as a traitor. Tsunade would kill me because I failed to do my job. I stood up and walked to the bathroom and showered and got dressed. I walked out of the bathroom to my old room to pack my things.
Once everything was packed I took one last look around the room and decided that maybe this was for the best. I should have never tried to be with Gaara. Someone like me never belonged with him. It was shameful for me to think otherwise. I could feel more tears threatening to spill over, but there would be no more tears. I walked out the door and headed down the steps. By mistake I bumped into someone.
"What are you still doing here. I am pretty sure that it is well past dawn." Gaara growled out.
"I was just leaving." I said biting back tears.
"Then go. I don't want to see your face ever again." Gaara snarled.
"Yes of course." I said.
I ran out of his house without saying a word. I reached the gates in record time. I honestly couldn't have been happier to see those gates and what awaited behind them. My travel would be long but I could make it home in two days. There was a village between here and Konoha that I could stay at for the night. Not wasting anytime I set running, pushing Chakra into my fee so that I would run faster.
I would make it at least 6 hours before I ran out of chakra and once that happened I would take a solider pill, eat something, drink some water, and travel for another 4 hours. That will get me to the small village and put me about 8 hours from home. I honestly did dread going back, because I knew what was awaited me.
The whole time that I traveled I paid close attention to my surroundings. I had been traveling for 6 hours and needed to stop to refuel. I came to a halt in a clearing and opened my bag. I took the solider pill with some water. I walked around the clearing and a found a berry bush and ate the berries off of it after declaring that they were safe for consumption. I drank the remainder of my water and started on my journey again.
It honestly was strange traveling alone, but I couldn't expect anymore from Gaara because he was angry with me and nothing could change that. I just had to be cautious and look out for enemy ninja. I should really be traveling in disguise. Once I got to the village I would change into civilian clothing and use a Jutsu to change the color of my hair to silver temporarily and to change my eyes to pink.
Finally I arrived at the village safely and from what I could tell I was not followed by anyone. I walked to the inn and nobody was there. I rang the bell and waited. Finally a an older plump woman walked up to the desk. She had a kind smile on her face, but she honestly looked like she had had a hard day herself. Nothing new for a lot of people around here.
"What can I do for you sweetheart?" She asked.
"I just need one room please. With dinner served and breakfast in the morning if possible." I said.
"I can have that arranged, but I will have to charge extra." She said.
"That is no problem." I said.
"Alright. That will be 300." She said.
I reached in my bag and grabbed the money and handed it to her. She counted it out and put it in a little box under the counter. She handed me a room key with a number on, and walked off toward what I figured was the kitchen. I walked down the hall and found my room. I walked in and immediately showered. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around myself. I walked into the room and saw the lady had brought me food, but there was no sign of her.

I dug through my bag for civilian clothing and put them on. I used the Jutsu to change my appearance, and it defiantly was different. I wasn't used to looking different, but it would work. I walked over to the food and grabbed it and the water. I sat down on the bed and ate all the food and drank the water. I stretched out and laid down and went to sleep.
I woke up the next morning to the smell of pancakes and coffee. I really shouldn't have sleep in my clothes but I wanted to be able to leave as soon as possible. I looked over to where my had been sat to see see breakfast. There was a cup of coffee, orange juice, water, milk, pancakes, bacon and eggs. I quickly ate the food drank the milk, orange juice and water. I could use the extra strength for what was to come.
I grabbed my bag and head down the stairs. I tipped the lady a 150 and left. She didn't say anything about my change in appearance, but I new that she noticed. I felt a little more comfortable now that I was disguised. On my travel home I couldn't stop thinking about all the happiness that I had felt with Gaara. We were so happy till Itachi showed up. If I had just told Gaara the truth I would still be with him.
Once again I could feel more tears falling down my face, but I refused to let them fall. Not this time, but I always told myself that and yet I keep crying, but I guess that it is hard not to cry for someone that you love. I had been trying for a good 6 hours before I stopped for a break. I grabbed a solider pill and took it. I looked around for a stream so I could drink some water. I finally found one and with a stroke of luck I also found some berries. I drank water and ate berries.
I rested for 30 minutes, and the whole time I sipped on water and ate berries. I stood up and continued my Journey. I couldn't help but think of how anger Tsunade would be when she saw me. I wasn't long until the village came into view and once it did I slowed down to a walk. I walked up to the gates and pulled out my identification.
"ID please." The guard said.
I handed it to him and he cleared it and handed it back to me. The gate opened and I made my way to Hokage tower. I didn't waste time though and I ran. I didn't want to get side tracked by friends. Once I made it to the tower and walked in and up to Tsunade's office. I stood outside her debating whether or not I should run.
"Sakura I know that you are out there. I know what happened and there is no point in staling." Tsunade said and I walked through the door. There was four Anbu standing there and my parents.
"I can explain." I tried
"There is nothing to explain. You are a traitor." My father yelled. I watched as my parents stormed out.
"Care to explain what happened?" Tsunade asked trying to remain calm.
"Gaara forced me to leave because he found out that Itachi was still alive." I said.
"If you knew that he was in the village you should have alerted me and keep Gaara away from him." Tsunade yelled.
"I had no idea that he was there until he presented himself to Gaara and myself." I cried.
"No more excuses. You are being tried as a traitor." Tsunade yelled.
"Please listen. I didn't want this to happen, I love Gaara." I cried.
"I am sorry but the Elders ruling is final and you failed you permanent mission. Take her to her cell. I will deal with her after the war. If there is anything left." Tsunade said.
The ANBU grabbed and carried all the way to the basement where prisoners where being held. They threw me in a cell and locked it. That was the last I saw of anybody other than the guard in front of my cell.
