I put a little rant on the Sakura guild on showing how GaaSaku was not as cracked up as its often put. biggrin Reyairia Yeah, I know it may sound like the weirdest thing in the world and why in the heck I would be arguing a "crack pairing", but let me tell you that its not as cracky as it seems. icon_3nodding.gif First of all, I'm a firm believer that Gaara is a very straight character, so GaaLee and GaaNaru are no-nos to me. I'd argue why, but I won't bore you with that. And since I'm not into incest, Sakura is the only girl he has actually -met-, at least in the series. Remember that scene in which Gaara crept up on Sakura but didn't attack her? I don't really think it was made to add tension to the episode, Kishimoto could have easily done something else, but he didn't, so you have to wonder why that happened because it seemed really random. Second was the part of Gaara's past in which Yashamaru mentions someone to heal Gaara's heart. This can be seen as foreshadowing as Sakura becomes a medic nin. Wait? Wasn't it Sakura who made him remember? She must have been a good impact on his life to make him remember that (even if Naruto did help), especially when Gai could have done exactly the same, but didn't. Hint? Maybe. And in the Gaara Rescue ARK, who was the one that showed she had power? Sakura was by killing an Akatsuki member even if she had help. It could have easily been Naruto or if Kakashi and Naruto would have killed Deidara it would have had the same effect, but he chose Sakura. Hmmm, kind of suspicious if you ask me. Lastly there's the similarities to DBZ (Which Kishimoto fanboys), in which there are a bajillion already. The NaruHina pairing is a lot like Goku/Chichi and the Gaara/Sakura pairing would be a lot like Vegeta/Bulma. As in the girl being the close friend/older sister to the main character and the male character being a sort of parallel to the main character that was once evil but then became good. A lot of SasuSaku-ers claim that its Sasuke that's parallel to Vegeta but Gaara has many more parallels. "They're nothing alike!" Hell, anyone could argue the exact same thing on NaruHina. They're opposites too and yet Hinata's feelings for Naruto are real (see essay/rant above). If Kishimoto already started on one opposite-attract couple, I can't see why he can't put another one such as GaaSaku? A sadist pairing? No, I don't think Sakura has so little self confidence as to have a guy boss her around all the time, which is why I think she could handle a guy like Gaara and why the GaaHina idea doesn't appeal to me. Am I right? I actually ended up tying with a SasuSaku-er - the owner of the guild.
Discuss: Do you believe GaaSaku could become cannon? And would you squeal as loud as I would if it did? xd

A few additions:
Sakura saved Kankurou's life.
Isn't it strange that the Akatsuki member Sakura helped kill was from Sunagakure?
The whole Sakura jumping in front of Sasuke thing, I mean... Gaara probably still has flasbacks of that (he did have quite a few in the anime/manga).

Ha, let's debate a little, Reya-hun. biggrin Reyairia Yeah, I know it may sound like the weirdest thing in the world and why in the heck I would be arguing a "crack pairing", but let me tell you that its not as cracky as it seems. Actually, neither Sakura or Gaara showed any romantic move towards the other, in the same way we see Hinata with naruto or Naruto with Sakura or Sakura with Sasuke. But of course, that doesn't mean it won't happen after. biggrin Quote: First of all, I'm a firm believer that Gaara is a very straight character, so GaaLee and GaaNaru are no-nos to me. I'd argue why, but I won't bore you with that. And since I'm not into incest, Sakura is the only girl he has actually -met-, at least in the series. Remember that scene in which Gaara crept up on Sakura but didn't attack her? I don't really think it was made to add tension to the episode, Kishimoto could have easily done something else, but he didn't, so you have to wonder why that happened because it seemed really random. Just because it seemed random to you doesn't mean that he didn't intend to add tension. Actually I'd rather call it suspense. xD So we'd have an idea of what would happen after. Quote: Second was the part of Gaara's past in which Yashamaru mentions someone to heal Gaara's heart. This can be seen as foreshadowing as Sakura becomes a medic nin. Wait? Wasn't it Sakura who made him remember? She must have been a good impact on his life to make him remember that (even if Naruto did help), especially when Gai could have done exactly the same, but didn't. Hint? Maybe. I think Sakura's resemblense to Yashamaru helped Gaara remember. Even though she was weak, she would protect those she cared for even at the risk of her own life. But I think Sakura's purpose was to confuse Gaara and a way to show us Gaara's tragic past. The one who really healed Gaara's heart (although not in a romantic way, of course) was Naruto, imho. He showed Gaara that he wasn't alone and that Naruto understood him, having a monster inside of him as well. Having someone just like us, that knows what we've been through, is sometimes better than a crush or being loved by someone. What's the use of sakura loving him if she doesn't understand what he's been through? Quote: And in the Gaara Rescue ARK, who was the one that showed she had power? Sakura was by killing an Akatsuki member even if she had help. It could have easily been Naruto or if Kakashi and Naruto would have killed Deidara it would have had the same effect, but he chose Sakura. Hmmm, kind of suspicious if you ask me. ...What do you mean? Do you mean Masashi was showing Sakura was worthy of Gaara in terms of power? I don't think that's it. The point wasn't showing Sakura was worthy of someone's attention now that she's strong. What Masashi was probably trying to show was that Sakura is now strong enough to protect her friends. Strong enough not to be always protected. Strong enough to last through a whole battle and have the stamina to heal her injured team mates. Of course, I'm just guessing here. xD Quote: Lastly there's the similarities to DBZ (Which Kishimoto fanboys), in which there are a bajillion already. The NaruHina pairing is a lot like Goku/Chichi and the Gaara/Sakura pairing would be a lot like Vegeta/Bulma. As in the girl being the close friend/older sister to the main character and the male character being a sort of parallel to the main character that was once evil but then became good. A lot of SasuSaku-ers claim that its Sasuke that's parallel to Vegeta but Gaara has many more parallels. Hahaha, you had to bring this up xD I don't know if you ever watched/read Bleach, but the creator, Kubo Tite, worked as an assistant on the DB manga. If it was the original or Z, I'm not sure. xD Anyway, Bleach and Naruto are very similar. Both are tragic characters but that don't angst about their past and that they meet even more angsty villains who later on become their friends. Bleach main characters are Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime and least say Ishida instead of someone else, because he matters to the comparison. Think of Ichigo as Naruto (Ichigo isn't half as nice xD). Rukia as Sakura (they're both hipocrites xD). Orihime is Hinata and Ishida can be Gaara. He's a mix of hawt Sasuke with Neji's awesomeness and Gaara's ability to hate people (although I do see him more alike Neji). Ok, let's think this through. Was Sakura Naruto's childhood friend? No. She hated him because he was annoying. So who was his friend? Hinata, of course. Pity she was too shy to admit it. Rukia only met Ichigo at the beginning of the story, and you can be sure she didn't fall head over heels for Ichigo. So Sakura and Rukia can't be compared to Bulma. So, who's Bulma? I'd say Orihima and Hinata. Orihime knew Ichigo for a long time, before highschool, and Hinata knew Naruto since school started for them. According to your theory, this girls shouldn't end up with the main character. :3 What about ChiChi? Well, Sakura and Rukia are both violent, but I don't think there's much to compare here. -__- Now, Ishida. This boy has a tragic past and hates the people that put him through it all. That includes Ichigo, although the poor guy did nothing of the sort. So Ichigo kicked Ishida in the head and Ishida became a goodie goodie. Reminds you of anything? But Ishida, not being a main character, is compared to Vegeta. And he ends up with Bulma. Which happens to be Orihime. ......Ok, say no to GaaHina, that's damn scary. (Although it's what the theory proves xDDDD) So, Naruto should end up with Sakura the same way Ichigo will prolly end up with Rukia.....IF your theory is CORRECT!! biggrin ~confused self~ xDDD Quote: "They're nothing alike!" Hell, anyone could argue the exact same thing on NaruHina. They're opposites too and yet Hinata's feelings for Naruto are real (see essay/rant above). If Kishimoto already started on one opposite-attract couple, I can't see why he can't put another one such as GaaSaku? A sadist pairing? No, I don't think Sakura has so little self confidence as to have a guy boss her around all the time, which is why I think she could handle a guy like Gaara and why the GaaHina idea doesn't appeal to me. I completely agree with you. ^_^ Opposites attract. But the problem is, I don't think Gaara and Sakura are that different. o_o They're both bossy and often moody and with a dangerous killing intent. Although Gaara is way calmer now and Sakura is wilder. So yeah, I guess it could work. xDD Mmmm'k, I posted my thoughts about your Crack Y/N? theory. Did I try to prove GaaSaku is wrong? Of course not! But I REALLY think it's a crack pairing. And I like it that way! Will it ever happen? I doubt it, but that's just my NaruSaku-ness speaking xDDD

Of course not! But I REALLY think it's a crack pairing. And I like it that way! Will it ever happen? I doubt it, but that's just my NaruSaku-ness speaking xDDD Janie! Its kind of embarassing if I'm debating the guild pairing with a mod! Dx
On NaruSaku: http://community.livejournal.com/naruhina/38587.html#cutid1
Just ignore the SasuSaku bits because I could argue /cannonically/ against them. x)
1. Teh onez:
No, of course not. Which is why I said its not as cracky as it seems. I didn't say it wasn't crack - crack is anything that is random and I was argueing that GaaSaku wasn't random, I just said it wasn't so whack. xd -shot-
2. Teh tooz:
Yuh, but I still say he could have done something different, like, a bunch of sand creeping past her. Besides, by this time in the series we're starting to see the more human part of Gaara. So the effect wasn't so strong as it was before his and Lee's fight. Yes, it could have been there just for tension, but me and my GaaSaku I'm biased. whee
3. Teh threez:
Exactly, but hey, I'm not argueing that GaaSaku can be viewed as a cannon couple, I'm argueing that its not complete crack. Yes, but why Sakura? That's the question. Hold that there though, I'll come back to it.
Oh and I agree, I was later corrected that in the debate. Yes, it was Naruto, but I won't touch NaruGaa with a 30 feet long pole. Gaara could easily find comfort in Sakura, as Naruto's personality has rubbed off on her a lot. biggrin
4. Teh vierz -shot for using German-
No, its not that. Don't you find it funny that all 3 times Sakura has show her worth have something to do with the Sand sibs? Sakura's confrontation to Gaara, Sakura healing Kankuro and defeating Sasori when rescuing Gaara - which, coincidently also was from Suna OMGWTFLOLZBBQ. Now that's suspicious. I'm not saying they are real hints put there by Kishimoto because I'm not him, but you gotta admit it is suspicious.
5. Fivz:
Reya is confoozled. e_e
I still say Sakura is more similar to Bulma. She may have not been there forever, but she was a classmate of his and in my beliefs a bit of an older sister because that's what I believe the Naruto and Sakura relationship is.
But look, I'm not going by personalities, I'm going through the main girl and main guy roles. In my theory, the main guy will end up with a minor female character and the main female will end up with the antihero/parallel. Not in a main girl/main guy.

OMGWTFBBQWHYAREWETALKINGALLLCAPS?!
*ahem*
I think Sakura can somewhat understand Gaara's feelings, at least better than most girls can.
Because she's been with Naruto and Sasuke, and we ALL know how they are like.
Naruto just revealed to her that he possessed the Kyuubi, so at least she'd somewhat understand what Gaara went through.
As long as he doesn't end up with one of those fangirls, I'm cool.

GaarSaku is kind of a crack couple lol. But they are really cute. I like Sakura with ALOT of ppl. Gaara was never one I considered. But I think they are really cute. If I didn't like NaruSaku so much I would SOOO have GaaraSaku as my #1. Right now they are #2 ^^. I think they could be a cannon I guess lol.

The chances of Gaara and Sakura becoming completely canon are close to nil. Spare that one moment they shared, when Gaara's memory was invoked by Sakura's act of bravery for Sasuke, the two haven't much between them except questions and possibilites.
As much as I would love to see it, I don't see Gaara and Sakura becoming a permanent couple in the series. Hell, Sakura seems to be leaning more towards Naruto now.

Well...with your debate, yea, GaaSaku does NOT seem too cracky. Definetly less crackier than my other favorite pairings. xp
And that's true, out of all Gaara pairings, GaaSaku is the most probable. Gaara is not, and never will be gay and GaaHina...that is just so utterly wrong I'd shoot myslef if it actually happened!
Besides, Hinata is getting with Naruto bizzatches!...that or Kiba>.>
