Sand Blossom

Chapter 16 : The Wedding

(Sakura's POV)

It has been two week since I returned to Suna in Gaara's arms. He hasn't really said much since and I knew that he was angry at himself for letting me get kidnapped. Today was the day that we would get married, but since Gaara hasn't talked to me since the day I returned I am worried that he isn't going to marry me now. I sighed as I sat down on my bed and let the tears fall. It didn't matter how much I loved him, I would probably never get to with him. No matter how hard I tried I could not stop the tears. I felt his arms circle around my waist before I heard him.

"Tears do not suit you my cherry blossom, why are you crying?" Gaara asked.

"You haven't talked to me since that date, I was so scared that you didn't want to be with me and was going to call of the wedding." I said choking back the tears.

He pulled around to face him and crashed his lips to mine in a fierce kiss. I circled my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. I know the groom isn't supposed to see the bride before the wedding, but I really didn't care at this point. I needed Gaara and he knew that I did and he came to me. I couldn't love this man anymore than I already do. He pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine, and I savored the moment forever. 

"Sakura, I want you to remember that I love you and you are the only person who holds my heart. No one else can get me to open up the way that you do." Gaara said.

"Then why did you ignore me for so long?" I asked.

"I was angry because I couldn't protect you and because of me you were hurt." He said.

"Yes but it hurt me. I thought for sure you didn't want to marry me anymore." I said.

"Sakura I couldn't live life without you. It's impossible to, you hold the key to my heart and I never thought that was possible." Gaara said.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too, cherry blossom." He said.

Gaara pulled me into a sweet kiss and pulled him closer. Before I meet him I thought that it was impossible to fall in love with him because he was cold hearted. After I got to know him it was impossible not love who he was and the fact that he loved me. I was so engrossed in our kiss and the feelings that it was bringing me that I didn't realize someone had come in the room till they cleared their throat.

"Sorry Gaara, but I am going to have to run you off because Sakura needs to get ready for the wedding." Temari said and he growled slightly, but left. 

"Now to get you ready." Temari said.

(Gaara's POV)

I sat in my office doing paper work as normal. It was what I did everyday and was pretty normal. I sat there wondering if I should go talk to her, but then again it was the day of the wedding and that meant that I couldn't see her anyway. Temari would be furious if she caught me with Sakura before the wedding.

"Gaara you should take a break from the paper work." Kankuro said.

"You know that I can't do that." I said.

"I will take over for you." Kankuro said.

"I will be more behind than I already am." I said.

"Please." He said.

"Fine, but only because I want to see Sakura." I said.

"You know Temari will kill you if she sees you with her." He said.

"She can try." I said walking out.

I walked out and was headed to Sakura's room when I felt it, Sakura's pain. It was unfamiliar and new to me, I had never felt the pain of someone else. The fact that I could feel her emotions meant that she was mine only. She felt alone and betrayed, and thought I didn't love her and she was in tears. I went to her immediately and circled my arms around her waist.
