Chapter Text
"I'm gonna be sick." She muttered as she put a hand over her mouth, trying to block out the smell of ramen around her.
She knew she wasn't feeling well earlier, why did she even bother to come if this was bound to set her off again?!
Worried green eyes stared back into her own, and the Kazekage offered her a pitying smile.
Ah.
Yes.
That's why.
A small shove and he was replaced by her teammate, his normal smile slightly larger as he looked at the red hear from the corner of his eye.
That too…
"I'll take her home, you can continue your evening with Naruto, Kazekage-sama." Oh Sai…did you have to do this all the time?
"No it's quite alright, I'll walk her home, I was the one who made her promise to come after all." The red head insisted, his eyes falling into a light glare as the pale man continued to smile at him unnervingly.
"No, I'm her teammate. It wouldn't be right for me to let a strange man escort her home while she's in a vulnerable condition."
"Strange man?…"
"Yes, you are very strange. Quite the freak if I may-"
"Shut up. You can both walk me home, just shut up."
Gaara was quick to nod, his concern palpable as he placed a hand on her arm, gently helping her out the door.
It was only a few second before Sai's was mirroring his position.
"Sakura, are you sure you want him of all people knowing where you live?"
"Me of all people? I'm the Kazekage-"
"Obviously. Are you touched in the head?"
"..What?…" Gaara began, his anger building as Sakura just closed her eyes and ignored them both.
"Touched in the head? Sakura-chan said it was rude to call people retarded and-"
"Yes, it is rude to do so. I bet Sakura-chan has to explain things like that fairly often with you."
"That's Haruno-san to you."
"I really don't think that's your call teme."
"Oh, are we name calling now? I bet your dick is even smaller than Naruto's."
"…guys…"
"Oh please, are you really that childish?"
"Guys?"
"Ah, condescending attitude now. You are very predictable, are you sure you're not simple?"
With a sigh, Sakura slowed to a stop, both men continuing on down the road without noticing her absence at all.
Yeah…she always had to play mediator for the two of them, and funnily enough, they only acted like that around her.
Shaking her head and walking to her door slowly, she wondered how long it's take them to realize they'd passed her house.
Or how long it's take them to realize she'd slipped away again.
"Goodnight you too, don't fight too much."
It wasn't until much later that night she awoke, her pale teammate sleeping in her bed beside her without a care in the world.
"SAI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
