DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OF NARUTO


Chapter 10: The healing Kiss

As Sakura lifted Gaara from the ground she noticed that Kakashi was already close to the door. "Jeez, he can't wait can he?" She thought to herself. She sprinted towards Kakashi, dodging boulders and rocks falling from the cracking ceiling. She was so close to being crushed one that her ankle felt like it was broken. She was running as fast as she could, but she was so exhausted from the draining chakra she was almost falling behind. Kakashi turned to tell her to get moving when he noticed Sakura trying to hold her self up. She jumped to her lifted Gaara on his back and helped her up. Her green eyes were close to closing. Sakura was away in a daydream now. She thought of her harsh training with Tsunade.

FLASHBACK

"Sakura, when it comes to a medical emergency, and you have no strength left, what do you think you should do?" Tsunade asked.

"Keep on going! Do whatever it takes!" She responded.

"Sakura, if you do whatever it takes, then you could be killed."

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Sakura asked confused.

"Sakura" Tsunade whispered. "If someone is badly injured, then make sure you don't get injured or exhausted so much that you can't help them" Tsunade said with a smile. Sakura nodded her too smiling.

FLASHBACK ENDED

Sakura's eyes widened as it came all back to her. Had she done what Tsunade had said to her? Was she unable to help? Sakura pushed Kakashi's hand from her arm, raised her heard and her face became covered with determination. Kakashi stared at her. She turned her head quickly and nodded. Kakashi knew exactly what she meant. It was time for them to get serious and get out. Kakashi, holding Gaara n his back ran nearly as fast as the wind, with Sakura on his tail. Overhead a large boulder came rolling down at the same speed he was travelling at. All for a sudden Sakura leapt up and smashed the boulder like glass. Kakashi was stunned. After her life and Chakra getting drained she was able to stay powerful like this. Sakura and Kakashi reached the entrance when the worse happened. Several boulders came crashing down and blocked their way out. Sakura was getting fed up now, and like she always did, took a large and swift punch at the rocks, but it was not hard enough. Sakura released an incredible amount of Chakra to her hand and smashed the rock once more. It broke this time. Smoke and pebbles filled the air as they walked out. Kakashi laid down Gaara on a rock and waited for Sakura to arrive to heal him. That was if she could heal him. Gaara's breathing was irregular and judging by it, Sakura had approximately two minutes to cure him. She walked over, kneeled down beside him, put her hand on his chest and let the Chakra flow through the wound.

"Sakura" Gaara whispered.

"Hang on Gaara, you're gonna make it!" Sakura said to him.

"Sakura I won't. I just wanted to let you know before I go"

"Gaara don't say that, hold on!" She screamed. After that she let out an enormous amount of Chakra into his chest and was crying on him.

"Sakura……I-I l-love y-you" Gaara said with his last breathe. His head tilted to the side and his hands became cold.

"No! Gaara! No!" Sakura screamed.

"Sakura, Sakura, he's gone" said Kakashi, trying to calm her down. She stood up and let he face be flooded with tears. Kakashi walked over and hugged her, with tears in his eyes as well. She let go of her grip of Kakashi and threw herself over Gaara.

"Gaara…..Gaara" She looked at him and wanted to do one last thing. She leaned over and touched her lips against his. As she let go, she turned to Kakashi and hugged him again. For some reason, a few minutes after, a groan came from out of nowhere. She looked around as did Kakashi but saw no-one. She turned to Gaara and to her delight his eyes were flickering and trying to open.

"Gaara!" She shouted as once again she threw herself on him. His eyes opened to see pink hair almost covering his chest and realised he was alive.

"Sakura?" Gaara asked a little confused and dizzy. Sakura was still crying but she was crying with joy now. Kakashi smiled and looked up to the sky to see a brown eagle hovering above their heads. He flew down and landed on Kakashi's arm as he opened the note and read it. Meanwhile Sakura was staring into Gaara's eyes with joy. Gaara sat up, much earlier than he should have and placed a hand on her pink cheek. Sakura placed her hand over his and closed her eyes and reopened them. Just to feel his touch again made her feel not alone anymore. Gaara leaned in towards her, closing his eyes as he did and pushed his lips against hers. Sakura did the same and wrapped her arms around Gaara. Kakashi had just been informed of Tsunade's help team. As he finished readying this, Shizune had appeared with her team.

"Well you took your time" Said Kakashi sarcastically.

"Sorry" Said Shizune. "What'd we miss?"

"Oh, nothing much, just the start of something special" He said as he turned to see Gaara and Sakura kissing.

Sakura and Gaara let go of each other and stared into each other's eyes. Sakura smiled and so did Gaara.

"So this is what it feels like. It's nicer than I thought" Said Gaara.

"What?" Said Sakura, who couldn't keep the grin off her face.

"Love" said Gaara. Sakura smiled ever bigger.

"Honestly, I thought your were gone"

"Well I was for a second."

"I wonder how you came back." Sakura said puzzled.

"Well after a few seconds a thing spark came and, well I just woke up."

So Sakura, Gaara, Kakashi and Shizune's team all returned to Konoha. When they did everyone crowded them and was shouting with delight. That night Tsunade took all the Chuunin's and Jounin's to celebrate their return. Sakura and Gaara told everyone the story. Everyone was confused and puzzled about the Gaara dying part. As Gaara explained their smile seemed to get bigger as Sakura's did at that moment. Amazing how one little kiss can save a life.
