The sand woke Gaara just as the sun’s rays broke the horizon heralding a new day. His senses instantly alert, he felt her chakra signature approach. Gaara shook Sakura firmly, rousing her with a hand over her mouth. Sakura looked into his eyes, the unspoken words they held moved her. She rolled off the bed silently crouching away from the door. Her hands grasped her discarded clothes and whisked them beneath her naked form a half second before Gaara’s bedroom door swung open.
“Good morning, Gaara! Sleeping in today?” Temari burst into his room exuberantly.
Gaara stretched and yawned, his bare chest peeking out from under the covers as he turned towards his sister. “Ever hear of knocking, Temari?” His half tired, half bored tone camouflaged his anxiety at the sudden intrusion.
Temari waved her hand derisively, “As if anything interesting ever happens in this room.” Her eyes went directly to the leftover tea set on the low table. “Or does it?” She raised an eyebrow, nodding at his table. “Late night tea party, brother?”
Gaara turned to his side to face her more directly, “hmmm… yes. Kankuro wanted to chat about politics. But why are you standing in my bedroom? Between the two of you, this is beginning to feel more like a train depot than my private quarters.”
Temari laughed and hopped on the edge of the bed next to Gaara. Sakura simultaneously rolled beneath it, thankful for Kakashi’s tutelage in stealth. “I’m heading out for Konoha this morning and just popped in to say goodbye. But, if Kankuro was talking politics, I want to know what he said before I go.”
Gaara sighed in exasperation, “Oh, just the usual. He’s noticed some cute chunin that I’ve got to meet. Blah, blah, blah, get married and have a kid and so on. You know the drill.”
Temari showed keen interest in the topic, “Oh? What’s her name? And are you going to go out with her?”
Gaara through the blanket over his head. “I don’t remember her name. I don’t care to. And no, I’m not going out with her.” He through the blanket back down, folding it at his waist. “Satisfied?” He glared at the blonde kunoichi.
She sighed, softening slightly. “Gaara we just want you to be happy. And a father. We want you to be a happy father. Is that so horrible?”
Gaara grumbled. “No. It’s not horrible. I’m sure I’ll get around to it eventually. Speaking of such things, you should get on the road before it gets hot.” He reached out and ruffled her hair affectionately and smiled, “Go on, sis. Safe travels.”
Temari planted a quick kiss on Gaara’s forehead and bounced out the door. “I’ll be in touch. Have a great day!” Then as quickly as she’d entered, she was gone.
Gaara sighed with relief as Sakura emerged from beneath his bed. “That was a close call.”
Sakura laid face down on the bed. “Shit. Gaara, she knows.”
Gaara lifted her chin, gazing on her delightful furrowed brow. “Sakura, my dear, if she thought I’d been entertaining you or any other woman for that matter, I can assure you that would have been a very different conversation. She believed what I said about Kankuro because that has happened before. Everything is fine.” And with that, he lifted her onto his chest, bringing her face to his own for a sweet, chaste kiss.
Sakura laid her head on his chest and sighed, “you know her better than I do. If you say she doesn’t know, I suppose you’re right.”
He held her there wanting the moment to last as he inhaled her scent, his face nestled in her soft pink mussed hair. “Sakura, as much as I’d love to spend the day in bed with you…”
Sakura sighed, pushing off him at those words. She threw her clothes back onto her body hastily, “We both have work to do.” She finished for him.
Gaara stood next to her, seemingly oblivious to his nakedness as she straightened her skirt. “I do hope we can… have tea… again this evening?” He smiled, bending to kiss her cheek.
Sakura blushed at the suggestion and lowered her head. The sight of his bare genitalia in the morning light only deepened the blush on her cheeks. The man was quite well endowed. “I wouldn’t miss it for anything.” She stood on her toes, planting a quick kiss on his lips as she ran out the door, eager to return to her own room unseen.
…
Sakura missed having Temari with them at supper. With her blonde friend away, she ended up seated between Kankuro and a rather boring council member. She also noted Gaara came in with a headache. He hadn’t sought her out for healing before the meal; there wouldn’t be a discrete opportunity to heal him until later. She could only hope it was not too painful.
“Kankuro, how was your day today?” She asked politely as the soup was being served.
“Terribly busy, Sakura. The fall festival is coming soon, you know, so there are lots of vital preparations to be made. The food, the music, the games, it’s a lot of work but it’s also a lot of fun.” He smiled broadly, “You’ll be joining us for the dance, won’t you?”
“Ah…. Dance? I’m sorry, Kankuro, I just have no idea what you are talking about.” Sakura explained.
“You mean no one… Temari didn’t… oh wow…Well, the fall festival is a big deal in Suna. There’s a carnival, games for the kids, all kinds of food, and of course, the Kazekage hosts a dance... Would you honor me and be my escort for the evening, Sakura?” He smiled at her hopefully.
Sakura was at a loss for words. She knew she couldn’t attend an event like that with Gaara, but to have another guy as her date seemed wrong to her. On the other hand, she couldn’t let Kankuro have any inkling about their relationship so… “Why, thank you for the invitation, Kankuro, it would be my pleasure to attend the dance with you.” She smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was in utter chaos.
“And don’t you worry, Gaara. I already have this cute little chunin lined up for you. Mei is amazing; you’re going to just love her.” Kankuro gave Gaara a wink and a knowing nod.
Gaara simply rubbed his left temple absently as his headache reached a new level. He sighed, “I’m sure she’s a lovely girl, Kankuro.” He stood and bowed to the guests at the table, “Please excuse me, it’s been a very long day and I need to retire early.” The kazekage promptly left for his room.
Kankuro and Sakura both frowned slightly at his departure and both noticed the other’s reaction. Sakura whispered, “You know?”
Kankuro nodded and spoke in a hushed tone, “About the headaches? Yes. About your affair? Yes. Walk with me after the main course.”
