*With Sakura*
Sakura was laying in bed looking at the ceiling. The sun wasn't even up yet and she was awake. She was thinking about her and Gaara's conversation from yesterday.
~Flash back~
"Oh, you don't have to apologize, its totally fine. Pein was always busy when I wanted to hang out with him so he let me help him get his paper work done so we could hang out." Sakura said looking out the window smiling thinking of Pein and how he would always glance at Sakura and smile then poke her sides to make her laugh. Gaara noticed the far away look in her eyes and knew she was thinking of the Akatsuki, and that really made him mad. He didn't like that even though she was with him, she was thinking of other guys. He stood up and got in her line of vision making her blink making her smile leave her beautiful lips. "What?"
"Don't think about them while your in my village Sakura."
"What?"
"Don't think about them. I don't like it when you think of them."
"Excuse me Gaara but I can think about who ever I want to think about. If I want to think about the Akatsuki then I will. If your in a peace treaty why do you act this way towards them?" Sakura asked starring Gaara in the eyes angry.
"I made a peace treaty so I can see you and make sure you are okay and they didn't do anything to you. Sakura I care about you."
The last part shocked her, she stood there looking into his eyes. She saw how much he cared for her, how much he would risk for her, but she felt pain when she looked in them. 'Why cant Kohana feel the way he does about me? Why do so few people care about me?' Sakura kept eye contact the whole time never looking away. "Gaara, I cant feel the same way as you do, I was hurt once by a village and I wont get hurt again. I wont let it happen."
"I'm not a village, Sakura, its me, Gaara. I will always be there for you and care about you."
"Gaara, I don't want to be in this village or in Kohana. I want to start a new, once I leave, I will have a new life. I'm not the same Sakura Haruno you know. I've changed."
Gaara was shocked, he looked into her eyes and knew she had changed, he knew it, it didn't take a genius to figure that out. He looked down, "I wont give up on you Sakura, I wont, I'm not Kohana." Sakura smiled and walked up to him and hugged him.
"Thank you Gaara. In a week or so I'll be going back. I would like it if by then you have accepted the new me." Sakura said tightening her hold on him.
Gaara grabbed her and pulled her close. He buried his head into the crook of her neck and hair. They stayed that way for a while, neither loosening their grip on the other. Till Sakura pulled back, she looked in his eyes and smiled at him.
~ End of Flash back~
'Man, I really miss the Akatsuki. I want to see them right now, I want to leave and go.' Sakura thought putting her arm over her head sighing. Then her alarm clock started going off, she turned it off and got up and went to the bathroom to shower.
*With the Akatsuki*
"Where do you all think you're going?!"
All the guys turned around and saw Pein standing on a tree branch, steam practically coming out of his ears. "Guys and Tobi were going to go and see Saku-chan!" Tobi yelled jumping up and down like a 5 year old.
