He nodded, warm smile on his face. The Kage pulled the girl closer, resting a hand on his cheek. "Yes I do..very much."

Sakura's eyes widened to a point to here her eyeballs nearly fell out. She knew that she didn't love Sasuke more than a friend anymore, but she never thought that she would feel this was for Gaara...or Gaara feeling this way for her.
"G-Gaara...I...I really like you! I mean, I like you...more than a friend, I realized it this morning. B-but.."
Sakura took a deep breath.
"Ev-even though I knew who you were since the Chuunin Exams, I've only now had started to get to know you. I reaaallly like you, I mean, LIKE like you. But...I'm not sure if it's LOVE...yet. I mean..I haven't known you that long, and..."

It felt like his heart had grown heavier. He had just confessed to a girl he really liked. One he wanted to spend his days with, talking and even laughing. Yet the girl, clearly wasn't ready for it.
He balled his hands into fists to keep from hitting the wall. "Ok..Whatever..Thanks for a..good time. I'm going back to my room now." he said, leaving with a bow. Gaara was going back to being formal with the girl, ti would be best for both of them. He didn't want to get hurt anymore, not from the girl he cared so much about. So the Kage would keep his emotions again locked up in a box.

Sakura sighed again. Was this her fate? Was she cursed to horrible luck forever? There was nothing else to say now....
Sighing, she just walked out of the headquarters and back home.

The months leading to Suna's first festival had been quiet. The Kage had been busy preparing for the festival. Gaara hadn't seen Sakura much during those months. He had of course missed her, and wished to talk with her, but he felt it wouldn't be great. Gaara had confesed his love while the girl had confused feelings over him.
While Gaara was preparing for the festival, he hopped that Sakura was mulling over her feelings, or something.
He sighed, as he went over the last of the work for the festival. It would be tomorrow night when the doors of Suna would be open to the public for the festival.

The night came, and Sakura was never able to ask Gaara to be her date. On the day she wanted to ask him, Mio had interrupted them. Sighing, Sakura walked towards the festival with her own made kimono. Her hair was up and tied in hair chopsticks. She had lght make-up on, and her kimono showed a small amount of cleavage to make herself look older.
"Well...here I go..."

Gaara had dawned his best attire. It wasn't the typical wear of the Kage's but he liked the way it fit his body. He was out of his office becasue he had to be. In reality though the Kage would much rather be inside then out in the festival. But in order to make his people happy he went.
So now the Kage was alone wandering around the stalls and shops for the heck of it. His mind though kept wandering to the pink haired girl. Was she out in the festival too, enjoying herself. He hopped so.

There he was.
Sakura's heart skipped a beat, the began punding twise as fast the minute she saw the Kazekage, It was nearly a month and she wasn't able to talk to him.
Walking up to him, Sakura tapped his shoulder. "G-Gaara...?"

He had seen the girl but chosen not to talk with her. Yet he had wanted to for so long. To talk things over, smooth over the rough spots. Mabey even start over. There was a calm expression on his face when he turned around. "Yes Sakura?"

Hoping that Gaara had gotten over it, Sakura gulped.
"I was never able to ask you this, because Mio interrupted us last time, but I was wondering if...you could be my date for the festival?"

The Kage nodded, all feelings of dislike gone. Gaara had something of a warm grin on his face. "I would love to be your date." He told her, taking her arm.

Sakura smiled. "Oh thank goodness."
The minute she grabbed his arm, the minute she felt the ground beneath her swipe away. Right now..all she could see, hear, smell, and feel...was Gaara. She didn't care if anybody was staring at her.
Maybe she did love him after all...
Shaking her head snap out of it, Sakura pointed to a nearby stand. "Hey look, it's that one goldfish game! Let's go!"

Gaara inwardly grumbled about the fishing game. He wasn't one for games, or festivals. But for Sakura he would enjoy the game, or enjoy watching her play the games.
"Ok." He said, as if he had much choice. "You try first Sakura. Try to get the gold fish." He said, pushing her gently forward.

"Okay, okay. But if I catch a fish, you have to play too." Sakura snickered.
Walking up to the stand, Sakura took a paper net and looked around. Spotting a really big red one Sakura took a deep breath.
"If I catch this fish...I'll tell him I love him."
She went for it, plunging at the red fish, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Gaara! Gaara! I caught it! Give me the bag, quick!"

He nodded, giving into the girls request. He would play because she had asked him too. But he would give the fish to her if he won. Gaara's own face lit up when he saw the girl got a fish. He grabbed a bag for her to drop the large red fish in.
"Good job Sakura." He said, giving her a rare smile that filled his face.
