Geez. I don't know if I have much time to work on this but I'll try my best… besides this is a GaaSaku chapter! ^^ It's been a while since I have last worked on the D.E.A.T.H. Club since I'm working on a joint project… which is a request. But of course, I don't want to let you guys down since I have worked so hard for this fic. Just scratch that and let's go on with the next chapter.

Today is March 1… and today is the anniversary of the story! ^^ (It's been a year and yet, it's still not finished. WTF.)

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! AND I'M HAPPY THAT THE MANGA IS REALLY GETTING SO WELL! SO KISHIMOTO!

WARNINGS: AH YEAH. L-I-M-E… THAT'S GUARANTEED. BUT OF COURSE WITH a pint of HORROR + DRAMA!

Previously on The D.E.A.T.H. Club…

The ghosts have expressed their hatred for getting disturbed by the living and it seems that Mistress Hinata's absolute orders have fueled them up some more. Things are starting to get out of them now that the Death Club ghosts are the only ones to fight against the other ghosts. In the same trouble, the whole hospital starts to discover the reality of paranormal activities. Minato seems to earn the interest of the three children but the mystery of Hinata's plan plagues his mind.

Their thought-so damnation comes nearer as they walk towards the office of the Director. However, he just gave out a warning to the club and they will be suspended the next time he catches them. Things have slipped off easily and something goes amiss. The Death Club goes on to their three-hour nightly rounds before going home to calm down their restless minds. And what's with Sakura's bad good feeling?

— Sakura POV

…

I am standing under the same heavy rain… breathing heavily and helplessly shivering in coldness. I am banging at the door… yelling for names I can't even hear. I can't hear my voice either. My tears are mixing with the drops and my screams are very well conquered by the loud roaring of the rain. In my nurse intern uniform, I get myself soaked outside a familiar-feeling house… but where I have seen it is unclear in my mind.

I cannot see her but I know Hinata is standing a bit far away from me… staying still despite the heavy rain. She is not saying anything… her eyes are just pinned at me. She raises her hands towards me and yet remains speechless. I turn to her… yelling with pain and… madness. I then run to her to grab her wrists and yell at her… so mad and hurt. I then slide down and cry on her thighs… only to hear her say… so clear and so loud, "That's enough, Sakura. You can't bring back the dead."

"Oh, shit!" I suddenly rise up from bed… great pain is lingering around my chest. Was that a dream? What does she mean I can't bring back the dead? Who died? I shake my head to stop it from thinking too much and then I walk out to fetch myself a glass of water. I go to the kitchen and… find Sasuke sitting at the corner of the kitchen with lots of food surrounding him. I take my glass of water and then go to him, "Hey, Sasuke. Can't you sleep?"

"No. I just got used to this. Having a feast during midnight." He continues on eating and I sit beside him with his eyes on me. I drink it up and say, "Can I tell you something?" Sasuke didn't answer… but offers me a pack of chips instead. I think that is for a yes. I begin telling him about the dream… but the only response I got is… "Maybe you're just thinking too much." I sigh and half-heartedly agree with him, "Maybe."

I then close my eyes… and then when I open my eyes, things feel a little different but the view remains the same. I then feel like leaning on the guy beside me and closing my eyes again. "Sakura… I'm sorry." Was that Gaara? "Gaara!" I jerk violently and find myself still at the kitchen beside Sasuke. I turn to him to see his wondering gaze and that chip on his mouth. He finishes the chip and talks as he cups a hand at my forehead, "You're just getting too much stress. And you're starting to get delusional."

"Sorry, Sasuke. Maybe the thought of losing Gaara makes me restless. And to be honest, I don't even know why I am feeling something like this." I then shove my face at his shoulder and whine as I lose demure. Sasuke then just continues eating as he wraps his arm around my shoulder… "You're just missing the guy too much. Feels like he's already drifting away from you." I couldn't bring myself to ask… but is this the feeling days after Naruto's death?

CHAPTER 16: FURTHER REVELATIONS

I don't know if I can call that a pep talk… but the chitchat earlier is still vivid in my memories. Maybe I'm really getting all worked up because of Gaara. Because of what happened earlier, I have got up late and I have to leave without taking a quick shower or something… and it's good that the lavatory at our Nurse Chambers still have the showers. Having the cool water droplets running on my skin, I think about my love… "Gaara."

"Sakura." I feel his hands wrap around my waist and I discreetly enjoy of my realistic daydream. I can imagine his hands holding me… I can imagine his voice calling for my name. His chest is against my back and his lips brushing against my shoulder. I can feel his breath at my cheek and his presence all over. His hands begin to slide up and down my waist… one goes beneath my breasts and the other one at my hip. It feels too real to be a mere daydream… wait a minute!

I shoot open my eyes and gaze down my body… to see arms and then a familiar voice speaks, "Were you dreaming?" I gasp aloud and then shoot my hands to my mouth. I look over my shoulder to see Gaara move his head away from me a little. A powerful red blush runs along my face… It's… it's—! My surprised expression mellows down to a soft and worried yet relief one before I decide to turn to him and hug him as he keeps his hands back around my waist, "Gaara…"

—Gaara POV

My angel starts crying at my chest as she realizes that I'm nothing like a dream. It's been a while since I have talked to her… and got near her just to talk. Hinata and Karin seem to be surprisingly carefree today… as if they know that nothing would happen. They have been always so suspicious… but them being the Mistress and the Duchess makes me trust them a little. They control the place… but not all the minds of the ghosts—

"Where were you, Gaara?" Sakura whispers under her tears and sobbing… her breaking voice crushing me slowly. I close my eyes for a moment and then I open it, "Karin and I are surveying the Forgotten Hallways for anything. But it seems to me that—" She doesn't have to know about the Keeper. She raises her head to look at me… and I wipe off her tears, "Don't be lonely, Sakura. You might not see me but I'm always here to protect you."

"Gaara…" She then faintly smiles at me and then I slowly near my face to hers… as if yearning for her lips. She closes her eyes again in anticipation… as I seal our lips for a kiss. I cup my hand at her face and try to pull her closer to me as I feel my famishment and urges grow more and more. I hungrily kiss her as she starts moaning and my hand crawls to make her leg wrap around my waist…

And I feel like being one.

—THE D.E.A.T.H CLUB—

— Author POV

Sasuke is waiting at the reception counter for the letters intended for Orochimaru that are received by the receptionist. The other nurses are trying to make him notice them, too bad Sasuke's gay. He is holding his phone and exchanging messages with somebody… Suigetsu to be exact. He's out for today… the written exams will be issued today and he needs to pass to be a full-pledged nurse like Kiba and Hinata.

Suigetsu: 2 b honest, I feel like sum1's following me around in here. T.T
Me: It's probably a spirit in the place. U have been around them lately after all.
Suigetsu: Sasuke, I don't like the feeling.
Me: Ok then. Suck it all up.
Suigetsu: …
Me: …
Suigetsu: 4 the exams! XD

"Stupid Suigetsu." He flips his phone closed and then the letters have arrived. He takes them from her after she has noted that they were taken by Sasuke from the counter. He starts walking as he scans through the senders… until a familiar voice calls him, "Hey!" He stops walking and then he looks over his shoulder to see two approaching figures towards him. He faces them and he frowns at the familiar face. She waves at him, "Hello. You're Sakura-chan's friend, right?"

"You're from the cottage." He answers and then the woman smiles as she nods, "Yep. We're here to see Sakura-chan. Can we?" Sasuke then recalls something Sakura has mentioned long ago about them and decides not to ask. He blinks for a while and then he says, "She's at the Nurse Chambers. I'm going the same way." The guy with her pouts and frowns at Sasuke as he whispers at her, "It won't hurt if he tells us his name." Sasuke has overheard the comment and then he clears his throat, "It's Dr. Uchiha Sasuke."

"He heard you." She chuckles and then looks around the hallways of the wonderful hospital, "The Director must have worked so hard for this amazing center." Sasuke smirks and then he whispers, "But unfortunately, the top executives are greedy and they wanted more money for their pockets so he got kicked out of seat." The two twitch and then they walk quietly around the hallways towards the NC and Director's office. He points at the Nurse Chamber and then says, "It's exclusive to members of the Division 26. I'll just call her out after I give these letters to Kurobebi… sama."

He walks away and the two wait before the room… with the woman filled with the anticipation of seeing Sakura. She then draws out a letter from her pocket and she rereads it… making the guy notice the thing. He then smirks and says with his inborn smug smile, "You're giving that letter to her? She might have a boyfriend already. You know… Dr. Uchiha Sasuke. Heheh. It's kind'a hard to miss that guy… well, in a girl's perspective." She glares at him. "Or maybe not."

—THE D.E.A.T.H. CLUB—

Intensified emotions materialize the spirit… his skin becoming as if of a living's. The coolness of death has been ignored… the steamy atmosphere conquering temperature differences. The running waters from the shower makes it more defined and beautiful… her soft, controlled moaning making things smoother. Their mouths hungrily craving for another and their bodies heating up so much more.

Grinding hips generating pain and power… wrapping legs intensifying the will to keep on going. With his hands holding her head in place and her hands massaging his back seductively, the time seems to be moving slowly and romance fueling up such sweet sensation. With him digging further within her, the day seems to kick off hotter than what she has expected. Being much more alone in the room is a perfect fact.

"Ahhh… G-Gaara…" She whispers to control moaning some more… knowing that Sasuke will be around in another minute or two. To be honest, this is the only time that she wished that Orochimaru would make Sasuke stay longer. But even though Gaara knows that there are people standing outside the chamber, he wants to go on. This may be the only chance to do this… why stop for something he can even… stop?

The electronic lock on the door starts to jam due to the sand particles that creep around the room. For the moment, the door won't be opening for anything. The guy then slides his hand from her neck down her breast and her thigh. He pulls off a little… letting a little string of saliva stretch before their mouth. Sakura breathes heavily with her face flushed with a red tint and looking oh-so vulnerable. He caresses her face with his other hand, "Sakura…"

— Gaara POV

"Gaara…" Sakura starts to cry again… grave pain conquering her weakest gaze. I get near her again… for me to hear her softest moans and words that she hesitates to let go. She then cups her hands at my cheeks and whispers, "When you stopped… I… I feel like I'm already breaking in two. I don't know… why but… I feel like…" She then blinks and the tears flow down which are quickly erased by the drizzling water, "You're leaving."

"No, Sakura. I will never leave you." I then caress her some more… not being able to release a smile to fit the situation. I lay another kiss at her lips and end it as I pull myself out of her. My sand starts to surround me again… as if trying to cover myself as it gets unaffected by the drizzling water. She squeezes herself and closes her eyes as she continues to cry her doubt away. I then place my hand at her shoulder, "Sakura. Now's not the time to doubt me. Please…"

She looks up at me and I manage to pull off an assuring smile at her. She returns a helpless one and wipes her tears off, "Gaara, I wish we could talk more so often. I… I wanted to banish the feeling." I just nod at her… but we both know that it would be impossible. I help her stand up and she embraces me tighter and tighter as she starts sobbing again. Knock. We both gaze at the direction of the door and we hear Naruto's voice, "Oi, Gaara. Open the lock. Sasuke needs to go in. He's getting worried about Sakura."

"I will." I have to say and Sakura pulls back to say, "We… we need to go on with our work." I just nod at her… and kiss her forehead. She chuckles and then I just need to leave. The electronic lock stops getting jammed and someone successfully opens the door with his ID. Sakura fixes her teary face with the shower and I pass through the shower door with my sand giving me back my clothes. Naruto is leaning at the side and he has his arms crossed above his chest… gazing meaningfully serious at me.

— Sakura POV

"Naruto?" I wrap my towel around my body and go out the shower to talk to Naruto… only to find both of them gone. To be honest… what Gaara has said can't even make me feel calm. The door before me seems to be concealing the pain I don't know how to deal with. I go to my clothes and put them on after drying myself… and then I heard knocks from the other side of the door, "Sakura, are you still there?"

"S-Sasuke! I'm still here! Wait a minute!" I need to do things faster and then I lay a towel on my head to dry my hair. I touch the knob… and then another surge of uncertainty comes to me. The undue dread makes me feel like… it warns me of something. Like it wants me to be ready of what I am going to see outside this door. But it's just Sasuke… why should I be scared? I open the door and then I see Sasuke talking with somebody outside the chambers, "She's a bit slow. But I guess she'll be done in another minute."

"Sasuke, who's there?" I ask as I walk nearer him and then he looks at me as he walks further in the room. A woman then peeks in the room and waves at me, "Sakura-chan! Hello!" Then a guy yells from outside, "I'm here, too!" The female newcomer then looks around and walks in to embrace me, "We finally got another day-off. We came like what you said. How are you doing?" I can't help but to get broken inside… I don't know how to tell them about it… "Temari-san."

—THE D.E.A.T.H. CLUB—

We then decide to take them to the cafeteria and then Temari-san is talking about Gaara mostly… since he's the only common thing we can talk about. Sasuke is always on his phone… messaging Kiba while he's on a trip. I heard he went back to their home for today and got a leave without a problem. Suigetsu is on his written examination period right now… In more than five months I can see myself there, too.

"I can't still believe that we'll lose him in just one day. After that heavy storm, we didn't see him again." She then begins to grow sad and then Kankuro-san massages her back, "Nee-san. We'll if it wouldn't be for Sakura-chan, we wouldn't know Gaara is… gone." I shift my eyes away from them and remember what happened back in the rain. Some of the culprit must have gone back and hit my head. I unconsciously touch the part where I was hit…

"To be honest… we still don't know what has happened to Gaara. It's been ten years… but we're still hopeful that… that…" Temari-san whispers as she tries to stop her tears. Sasuke eyes at me meaningfully… as if telling me that they will know no matter how I tried to hide it. I discreetly squeeze myself in guilt and hesitation… I wanted to tell them… but what if they try to take him away from the hospital? I then suddenly stand up and walks away… I can't stay under this anymore!

— Author POV

The three chase after her with their eyes and then Temari whispers, "Sakura-chan?" Sasuke then goes back to his phone and whispers, "We'll try to help you find him if we get some free time." Kankuro frowns at him and then Temari smiles helplessly and then stirs her coffee, "You seem to be just saying what other people want to hear. But please, don't say something like that if you… can't." Sasuke then smirks and then he says, "Well, what do we know? This is the biggest hospital in the district and the nearest one from the beach. If ever someone would find him unconscious or something, he could have been taken here."

The siblings eye at him for a moment and then he says, "But we're not authorized to raid in past reports. It'll take some time to squeeze in." Temari then holds Sasuke's hand that is at the table with the both of hers as she appreciates the concern in looking for his brother, "Thank you very much, Dr. Uchiha." He nods a little and then Kankuro jerks a bit and looks around. Most of the female employees are glaring at Temari for holding him. Kankuro whispers, "Nee-san… you better stop that." She let goes and then Sasuke resumes looking at his phone. A message appears at his phone.

Naruto: My, you're adding pressure to Sakura's shoulders.
Me: The longer this gets, the bigger the load will be.
Naruto: Like what happened with Dad?
Me: Yeah… but I don't remember anything like answering his question.
Naruto: Putting that aside, meet you at the chambers later.

Sasuke stands up and says, "I'm sorry, I have to go. You can look for Sakura… but be careful in roaming around." The two guests nod and then Sasuke leaves them at the cafeteria. Temari sinks down and she whispers, "Will we really… find Gaara again?" Kankuro looks around and huffs, "Let's go to Sakura-chan. We haven't handed the letter just yet." Temari twitches and chuckles helplessly, "R-Right."

—THE D.E.A.T.H. CLUB—

Sakura is standing at the rooftop and gazing up at the clouds. Her mouth is gaping and tears are again forming at her eyes. She remembers the eyes Minato has given them after the Ryudo incident. The Sabaku siblings might do something worse… but there's also a chance that they… would just let him stay there. She clutches her hands before her chest and then whispers, "What should I do? Gaara, I need to talk to you right now. I want to know what…"

"Presumably, they will really take Gaara from here." The pinky twitches and then she turns around to see Hinata. She smiles and then walks to the pinky, "You see, Kurobebi hate comatose patients. He has this unwritten law of throwing away comatose patients of more than 5 years to euthanasia. And once he finds out about Gaara, he will kill him… but I know Temari and Kankuro would just rather take him home than to watch him die."

"Can't I do something to stop that?" Sakura asks and then Hinata giggles and then she swirls around, "Then don't let them find Gaara! You see, that will be the trigger of all things!" The pinky bows her head down for a while… thinking about Hinata, Temari and herself. She doesn't want Gaara to leave her behind… but she also wants Temari and Kankuro to find their brother. Tears once again conquer her view and heart. But by then she recalls the dream… she slowly lowers her hands and realize… "Gaara… died?"

— Hinata POV

Gaara died? What is she talking about? I cock my head to the side as I watch her cry some more. With so much empathy, I try to try on Sakura's shoes and think about things. What if Kiba would be like that? And I'm standing there as I watch him drift away without having much power to… stop him. I suddenly recall the reason why Kiba has to go on away for today. I close my eyes… and then I hear Gaara making a transmission through Sakura's potable player.

"Sakura, put on your headset." I tell her as I walk nearer and then she does what I say while trying to stop her tears. She listens some more to the dead sound and then, "Sakura." She twitches and becomes glad, "Gaara!" He seems to smile at the other line and then recalls it, "There are activities here at the Forgotten Hallways. There are still some people inside." She twitches and then she runs off as if ignoring me. However, it's fine. I like to watch this happen anyway… oh, Sakura-chan. What are you gon'na do when they find Gaara?

—THE D.E.A.T.H. CLUB—

— Author POV

Temari and Kankuro are walking around as they find Sakura along the maze of the hallways. Kankuro looks around and then he whispers, "Where are we?" Temari says as she shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know either." She then looks around to see anyone… she looks around again only to see a small girl standing beside her. She screams and suddenly hugs Kankuro who is much more surprised than her… Temari then glares at him.

"Tee-hee-hee…" The girl giggles and then she smiles naughtily at them, "You're lost, Nee-san? Nii-san?" They look at each other and they nod. She then runs off to the corner and makes them follow suit. They catch up with her and she says, "This is the eastern ward of the ground floor and it used to be called PHAs for a reason." Temari asks nervously, shuddering within her skin, "What's your name, little girl?"

"I don't have a name…" She stops walking… and then she begins singing a creepy children song. Temari snuggles Kankuro's arm once again and the two start stepping backward in terror. The girl then turns around and snickers at them as she shows them her broken face from a very harsh accident. Her face is like split in half and the organs inside are flowing out and the two scream louder than her song. They run away from her only to be welcomed by violently moving objects that are throwing themselves at the floor before them.

The siblings scream some more and then a voice yells, "Moegi! Udon! What are you doing!" They then look at the man running towards them. He pants and cups his hand at the girl's head… her face reverting back to normal. A small boy runs to him from behind Temari and Kankuro… and another walks from where the man has come from. Moegi, the small girl, giggles as she enjoys the hand at her head, "I just wanted to shoo away… intruders." Her tone grows scary and so Temari holds tighter.

The man then scratches his head and then he says, "To be honest, they just don't like other people around their… territories. Why don't we just talk outside?" He smiles at them and then Temari blushes at the cute mature face. He leads them out the PHAs while telling the children to just mellow down their haunting. He says as they reach the entrance/exit of the PHAs, "Please don't tell other people about them and you seem to be looking for somebody? My name is Namikaze Minato, the d— I mean a senior doctor."

"Senior…" Temari then twitches and she suddenly jumps at Minato and pulls on his shoulders, "Tell me! Is there any chance that there's a Sabaku Gaara in here! Patient? Nurse? Janitor? Plumber? Anything!" Minato shrieks at the distance and then he takes her hands off with a nervous chuckle, "Why are you looking for him?" Temari twitches and then blinks before crying again, "You know my brother? Where is he! Tell me where he is!"

—THE D.E.A.T.H. CLUB—

The supposedly broken lights begin to flicker and then the staff members run around the hallways in hysteria. Shadows and voices conquer the area and objects are being thrown at them. Some of them have been plastered at the floor in fear as the image of a woman in a black veil appears before them. She walks slowly as the smell of death seeps from under her black dress. The employees scream some more as hands reach out from under the dress… as if horrid beings are hiding beneath her clothes.

Loud steps echo around and then Sakura and Gaara come to their rescue. Sakura yells, "Go! Get away from here!" The employees begin running away and Sakura talks to her, "…You. Why are you doing this? They are just doing their job! Please don't hurt them." The lady then smiles and then disappears and reappears before her, "We meet again, Haruno Sakura. How are you doing?" Sakura jerks with a step backwards and then she sways around them, Gaara eyeing at her cautiously, "It seems like we've been dancing in the Mistress' song after all."

"Mistress?" She whispers and then the Keeper stops as she reaches her previous distance. She raises her arms towards a direction and whispers, "The greatest catastrophe you have ever dreamt of is slowly playing behind you, Haruno Sakura. You still have some time to prevent it from happening. Hurry to your beloved mortal core… it shall shatter as time runs off." Sakura grows her eyes wide and runs away to Gaara's room. The redhead tries to stop her but he glares at the Keeper. She then prances and whispers before disappearing, "I like this dance… and I will be dancing my part."

Sakura runs along and then sees the room in her own eyeshot only to catch Temari and Kankuro's images at the corner. She stops for a while and listens at their conversation with her hands at her mouth. Temari nervously gulps and asks, "Minato-san, are you sure he's here?" Minato nods and then says, "It's been ten years since the hospital had been attending to him. It's good to find someone who really knows him. Haruno Sakura, an intern, has been tending to him for while now, too."

"Wait… Sakura-chan?" Temari then eyes at him with a frown of denial, "Sakura-chan knows Gaara's here?" Minato twitches and then he shifts his eyes at the side, "You… You know her?" Temari then yells unintentionally at the senior doctor, "She knew how I wanted to see my brother! Why doesn't she tell me about it! Why is she hiding something from me! I am his sister! His family!" She then grabs Minato's collar and cries as she yells, "Is she… is she getting entertained by this! Getting entertained by my sadness!"

Kankuro looks around and sees Sakura standing at the other hallway, tears flowing down her eyes. Temari then sees her and she marches madly at the pinky and then grabs her arms as she tries to hurt her, "Why, Sakura-chan? Why didn't you tell me! Why were you hiding it from me? You're making me look like a fool! Why, Sakura!" The pinky tries to say something but all she can do is to cry louder.

Minato steps away from their view for a moment and holds his mouth for talking. Guilt starts to go around him for doing something stupid… again. Kushina will surely kill him for this… just like how she almost did when he has told Sasuke about Naruto's feelings. However, that situation turned out good but he doubts this event will. He can still hear Temari's verbal rampage and Sakura's loud cries. He then pounds on his head, "Baka. Baka. Baka."

"Sakura! Tell me! Tell me!" Temari grips tighter as she waits for Sakura's answer other than her cries. The pinky then just shakes her head in mixed emotions and she speaks with a broken voice, "I… I tried but… but…" Kankuro then peers in the room and then frowns, "Are you really sure Gaara's here? 'Cause I ain't seeing anyone." Sakura and Minato twitches and then the pinky breaks free from the furious Temari and opens the door in anxiety, "Gaara!"

"Where did he go? Can he even walk on his own?" Minato gazes in the room and the Sakura slams at the bed to really find no one, "Gaara." She then also goes out and looks around while yelling, "Gaara! Gaara!" The three follow her and then Minato grabs her shoulders and shakes her a bit to calm her down, "Sakura. Calm down." Sakura then twitches and grabs Minato's wrists, "He's just here with me a while ago! Where did he go!" Minato sighs and then pulls his hand back only to slap Sakura hardly.

She then stops getting all crazy and Minato says, "Sakura, listen to me. You won't get to anything if you'll lose your head. Focus, okay?" She then blinks and nods as she touches her sore cheek. Temari and Kankuro join them and the blonde says in a serious tone, "What do you mean he's just with you a while ago?" Sakura shakes her head and then a transmission then enters her portable player. She presses play and it seems like her earphone has been unplugged, causing the sound to be heard by the other three, "Sakura."

"Gaara?" Temari asks as Kankuro tries to clear his own ear. Minato then looks for the source of the sound and then Sakura yells as she grasps at the player, "Gaara! Where've you gone! Is something wrong?" They then hear Naruto's voice that is as if laughing out loud, "There's a thief on the loose! Hinata seems to be taking her eyes off us, huh." Gaara then grunts and then says, "Someone went inside me… and now, it's causing trouble around the hospital."

"Yeah, some fucking good trouble tte ba yo."
