His pick…

His pick….

Author's note: hello everyone just to point out in this story shikaku is involved even though he has been extracted his voice still remains in Gaara's mind(i think)

Chapter 1:the law

"What the hell" Temari screamed, "He should choose when he is ready" she shouted to the elders.

"I know that you feel opposed to this decision, but the law is the law and since he is the Kazekage he must oblige by the rules"

"That doesn't mean you can force him, he is a human being not a puppet" Kankuro said adding his fury.

Gaara sat behind his desk giving scary hateful glares to the elders, he knew that he would have to follow the rules but when he accepted this position, he never knew thought marrying was one.

"Lord Gaara, you have a month to choose or we will choose the best candidate for you."

With that he could no longer keep his cool, he disappeared in his sand.

"Look what you've done" Temari shouted.

"Come on Temari no use in wasting time with these idiots"

Temari furious with rage agreed with her brother and followed him to the one place they knew Gaara was, 'the roof'

'Damn the elders' Gaara thought.

'You can kill them, make me feel happy again boy' Shikaku claimed

'Shut up even though I would love to tear them limb form limb my duties come first'

With that Shikaku disappeared, 'the kyubi container changed you'

"Gaara" Temari shouted.

"What" he asked like his day wasn't bad enough already.

"Are you sure you're okay with this you know I could kill the elders and hide the evidence"

Gaara shook his head.

All of a sudden a gust of wind blew and the leaves flew around in a circle, Shikamaru and Sakura appeared in the leaf whirlwind on the roof.

"Sakura-chan, Shikamaru-kun what are you doing here" Temari says giving Sakura an enormous bear hug.

"Temari.You're.Crushing.Me"

"Oh sorry" she says letting Sakura free. "So what brings you here"

"This" Sakura says as she handed them a scroll.

Temari took the scroll and handed it to Gaara.

Dear Gaara,

I heard those bastard elders of yours are being stupid anyway if you want Shikamaru has devised a plan to get you out of it, it will interest you I'm sure. Oh by the way I need a favor, Sakura's birthday is coming don't tell her it's a surprise and well can you keep her occupied in Suna until I send a new message. Anyway you and you're family are invited and don't worry Shikamaru came up with an excuse so that you can come to Suna and attend. If you need any help with filing doc's Sakura is very skillful, she's helped me do it many times. You better come Naruto has been giving me a head ache and says that he'll drag you here if you don't.

Tsunade,

Ps. You could always kill the elders and hide the evidence

Gaara smirked inside his head. Then looked at Sakura to see her smiling in a humorous conversation with Temari, Shikamaru was just standing there with his 'this is such a drag look' there was a discussion on how Kankuro can't get a girl. Temari interrupted Gaara's gaze.

"So what does it say?"

"We are going to Konoha in a couple of days so pack up"

"Yes a vacation" Temari cheered.

"So troublesome, Sakura should we get going"

"Hai" she said following Shikamaru.

"Where are you going?" Temari asked.

Sakura puts on a faint smile, "to pay my respects then back to Konoha"

They all knew who she was referring to.

For some reason even though Gaara knew of Tsunade's favor he let her go at the moment.

"Ja ne, Temari-chan, Kankuro-san, Kazekage-sama" Sakura exclaimed with a cheerful tone and a small wave.

Temari sighed, "It looks like she's been finally freed"

"huh"

"Nothing, let's go pack, I can't wait"

'You're just happy cause you are gonna be with Shikamaru' Gaara and Kankuro thought.

"So what does the scroll actually say?"

"Gaara handed her the scroll to read.

"Sakura's birthday is coming soon and Tsunade is throwing her a surprise party" she shouted.

"What's so special about this birthday" Kankuro asked.

"She's turning eighteen, duh" Temari coaxed.

"So?" Kankuro replied

"Boys are idiots, no offense Gaara"

"Hey I'm a boy too" Kankuro said.

"You don't count"

Meanwhile with Shikamaru and Sakura, "Let's stop by the graveyard"

"Hai" Shikamaru replied he knew what she meant he looked at her to see her facial reaction. Her face saddened a bit as they grew closer towards the elders grave.

The sun was slowly setting over the horizon as Sakura paid her respects to the dead Chiyo-baa-sama.

All of a sudden Temari comes out of no-where.

"Sakura, Shikamaru are you sure you guys should leave it's getting late and plus we need you to help in the hospital we are short on staff"

"Gomen Temari, Tsunade wants me early tomorrow to help at the hospital"

"Such a drag"

Shikamaru knew he had to keep his secret undercover mission that Tsunade assigned him, he could still remember her words.

'Keep Sakura in Suna until I send a message for you"

"Sakura even Shikamaru agrees you should stay with us until we go to Konoha which will be only a couple of days."

"I already sent a hawk" Kankuro said suddenly appearing out of the blue.

"You shouldn't have, but since you did I guess we could stay the night" Sakura stated. "But we gave to get back in the morning, for some reason I have a feeling Tsunade is going to overload me with tons of work"

"Great" Temari said playing along but she knew that she was going to plan a way for her to stay longer. "I'll cook dinner…" she was interrupted by Kankuro saying something to Sakura.

"Sakura, do you know how to cook?"

Sakura nodded her head.

"Can you please spare our lives from Temari's cooking" he whispered.

"Sure I guess"

"Kankuro don't tell our guest to make food"

"It's alright Temari, I would feel guilty since you invited us to stay and do nothing in return"

"Okay but as long as I help"

Sakura nodded as they followed Temari to the Kazekage building.
