Another story that popped up in my mind and I had to write it. Gaara is one of my favourite from the series and I want to give him a romance story. (^-^) Because of OCs and added elements to the universe it might alter somewhat from the series, but I imagine this to happen a little while before Boruto's movie.

Prologue

Kankurou greeted his sister in her room, warily of her obvious bad temper. Her husband, Shikamaru, and son ,Shikadai, had been clever, they always were, and skipped out so Kankurou was forced to meet her alone.

"Temari. It's so good to see you." He started with an easy-going approach hoping it would soften her up. It did not.

"Why the hell didn't you stop him?!" she yelled to him without responding to his greeting. Kankurou took a step back raising his arms up in defence. The servants had told him that she was in a bad mood but he had hoped that letting her wait in her quarters for a while would cool her. It had not.

"I did, I tried! He wouldn't listen." Kankurou had understood from his sister's letters that she was anything but pleased with the current state of affairs and also that she blamed him for not advising their younger brother better.

"But a diplomatic marriage?!" her outrage had the room buzzing as her chakra made the breeze from the window stronger.

"He wants to do it… for the village." Trying to explain why Gaara had chosen to do it was complicated. Kankurou wasn't sure if his sister would be able to understand just yet, he wasn't even sure if he could explain it.

"That's not a reason to get married." She wrung her hands. "He should marry because of love." Her voice had changed dramatically from the previous roar to a whisper as her frustration got the better of her.

"I know. I know…" her brother said taking the opportunity to calm her down. "But he is following the suggestions of the elders."

"Humpf. Why? Gaara has always been against the old traditions."

"The hostile and violent ones, yes, but not traditions that benefit both parties…

"Both parties? It's a trade treaty! Why seal it with a marriage? And with the Land of the Birds?" before he could answer she looked at him determinedly.

"We must break up the weeding plans before he does something he would regret for the rest of his life." Kankurou cringed at the word 'we', but he also that he had to dishearten her.

"You know... I think Gaara knows you better than you know him."

"Why do you say that?"

"He invited you to come today to be in the party that greeted to diplomats as they arrived to prepare for the wedding, right?" Kankurou dreaded for what he had to say next knowing his sister and her temper. It took a lot to make her mad, but he was afraid it was exactly enough what he was about to say. She nodded to his question.

"Yes, they should arrive this afternoon."

"Well, he lied. They already arrived and… the wedding is today."
