I guess I should also mention I'm making another GaaSaku story. The first chapter is already posted if anyone is interested in reading it. The story is called Mother's Song. It is about an older Sakura caring for a younger Gaara, and the outcome this change in the past will bring.
For those of you who have already read it, I should begin updates for it soon.
