Daddy's Little Monster

Inner

Well it certainly has been a while.

"Don't mention it, my name is Sakura." Sakura held her small hand out to him. He flinched a little at the outstretched hand and stared at it for a moment not really knowing how to react. Sakura giggled and reached her other hand to grab his left one. She then guided his hand to her outstretched one and proceeded to show him how to shake someone's hand. "It's called a handshake, you do it when you meet someone." Sakura explained.

"Oh, well my name is uh Gaara," He said shyly as he shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you Gaara, we should be friends." Sakura exclaimed happily. Gaara nodded with a small smile gracing his lips. Sakura stood up bringing Gaara with her as she ran to a swing set across the playground from them. Gaara ran with her fearing if he didn't move she would just drag him behind her. They swung on the swings side-by-side talking about different things. Sakura found out that Gaara was one year older than her and was about to enter the ninja academy.

"Wow really, that must be really fun, my daddy said that I might be able to enter the academy early, but we have to go back to his old village first." Sakura explained with a smile on her face.

"Where is his old village?" Gaara asked as he slowed his swing down.

"It's Konoha, I think they are allies with this village." Sakura kicked off the ground again starting her swing back up. Gaara nodded his head telling her he understood.

"So then, are you leaving soon?" Gaara asked sadly as he stopped his swing and looked at the ground. Sakura slid to a stop and looked at Gaara in thought.

"I'm not sure, my daddy said we are going to be staying in this village for two weeks at the least, but if I do have to leave I will find a way to communicate with you, you are my first friend after all, and we have to be friends for a long time because I like you." Sakura smiled at him.

"Sakura!" She heard her daddy yell. Sakura looked over at her dad who was waiting for her on the other side of the large playground.

"I have to go, but we should play together tomorrow, oh I know here I learned this trick a while ago." Sakura put two fingers on Gaara's temple and sent a shock of chakra into his brain. Gaara's eyes widened and he leaned back a little, startled by the sudden source of new chakra inside of him. Sakura smiled at him and motioned for him to do the same to her. "All you have to do is send a little bit of chakra into my brain and then we can communicate with our minds." Sakura explained happily, she had always been a very smart girl even if she was only five-years-old. Gaara did the same thing Sakura did and Sakura stood up and ran to her dad, waving goodbye to Gaara. Gaara waved back and almost fell over as he felt another shock of chakra in his brain. He answered it almost like he would answer a phone and he heard Sakura start talking to him.

'Hey Gaara-kun so good to know it's working, but I can't talk right now though if something happens or if those little brats start messing with you again just send me a message or something, I will talk to you tonight or tomorrow and we can go to the playground again and play.' Gaara heard Sakura say and he responded with a simple 'okay'. Sakura was holding her dad's hand as they walked toward a small teashop that they were going to eat at.

"So who was that boy?" Jiraiya looked down at Sakura. Though he already knew who he was, him being the Kazikage's son and all.

"Oh his name is Gaara, he's really nice, though these stupid kids were throwing rocks at him earlier, so I saved him with my awesome skill." Sakura bragged with a giant grin on her face as she looked up at her dad. Jiraiya smiled proudly at his daughter, she was so happy when she helped people. Sakura's smile faded and she looked at the ground in thought. They walked through the doors of the tea shop and sat at a table in the back corner away from other people. Sakura sat down and looked at her dad seriously with a determined glint in her eyes.
