The Kazekage's shy bird

The rookie nine and team Gai were in the hokage office. "Ok" began Tsunade "we are going to have a fair for the shinobi of the Konoha and Suna, and all of you are to help build it." They all had a "what the hell?" look on their faces. "When are the sand shinobi coming?" Ten Ten asked. "the fair is to be up in two weeks but a couple people are coming sooner to help put it up" "oh" was heard all around the room. "Um… Ts...Tsunade-sama….umm...what i...is the fair for?" Hinata asked nervously. Neji gave Hinata a hard glare annoyed that his cousin is still stuttering all the time and she turned her head down. "Haha well it's for 3 reasons" Tsunade said "1 – we want to remain in peace between us and the sand village. 2 – We want you to get to know other shinobi better for you shall be working with them in the future. 3 – I know that Shikamaru wants to see Temari and vise versa so instead of her begging Gaara for a mission to come hear we set this up." After all that Shikamaru was blushing a deep shade of red and muttering something about troublesome as everyone else laughed. "All right, you're dismissed. Starting tomorrow you all have to help build the fair." "Rgggggggg" was heard by all.

The three sand shinobi walked up to the gates to enter Konoha after their, now normal, 3 day journey. "Hmmm no one to greet us how disappointing" Temari said thinking of Shikamaru. "And kinda rude too" she added quickly. Kankuro half laughed knowing that she thought Shikamaru would have come to greet her. Gaara remain emotionless. Suddenly they heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming their way as they saw a girl with blueish-black hair running straight towards them. "Seems like your wrong Temari apparently Hinata is coming to greet us" Gaara said with a smirk. Hinata was wearing a green skirt that ended just below her knees with denim Capris underneath with a blue tank top that said "now who said shinobi and be cute AND lethal? (A gift from Ino) with her normal sandals. She was carrying a kunai (sp) in her mouth while carrying her weapons pouch in her hand. As she came up to them she tripped and fell and her weapons pouch fell out of her hand as the kunai from her mouth landed at Gaara's feet. "Oh my god! i..i am soo..so ss…ss..sorry ff.. for being l..late. I ju..just got word that you were coming and I wa…was supposed to greet you." Hinata said nervously as she picked up her pouch. Gaara bent down and picked up the kunai. "here and don't worry about being late." He handed her the kunai and helped her up. "o..ok. um im su…supposed to bring you to the hokage." Hmmm' Gaara though she's still stuttering now. Ill have to see if I can change that' "hey Gaara" Kankuro elbowed him and he turned to look at him annoyed with being elbowed in the back. "what?" he pointed to Hinata who had blood coming from her arm. "Hinata!" he called he could see her trying to stop the blood flow with her other hand. "hmm? Oh" she said as a took her hand "it…it's not that b…bad. Just a little c..cut." "don't be ridiculous it's obviously a deep wound" she blushed as he took some bandages from Temari and wrapped them around her wound. "ok. Let's go" he said with a slight smile. "th…thank you Kazekage-sama."

Gaara was watching Hinata closely all the way to the hokage's office. Hinata knocked on the door. "finally Hinata get in here" came tsunade's voice. Hinata opened the door and they all walked in. "hello Gaara, Temari, Kankuro." The hokage said brightly. "Hinata." "hai?" "your to escort Gaara around Konoha" "hai" Gaara had a slight smirk on his face. "Temari I figure you'll no where to find him? Lazy ass Nara." Temari blushed slightly. "hai" "hmm… who should escort Kankuro? Not Naruto he wont have the patience hmm…a ha how bout you find Ten Ten" "hai."

When they were out side Temari went of to find Shikamaru and Kankuro went to find Ten Ten. "Wha…what do you want to do Kazekage-sama?" "please Hinata-chan call me Gaara were not in a formal situation anymore. Besides you've known me long enough." "oh ok Ga…Gaara-…kun?" she half asked him. she's kinda cute. Wait what ?' Gaara though. "wh..what do you wa..want to do Gaara-kun?" "how a bout training?" "oh ok but i..im not the s…strongest sh…shinobi." She said "you should stop stuttering." "hai I know" "if you know then why do you still stutter?" Gaara asked. "be…" Gaara gave her a stern look. She blushed and continued. "Because I get nervous around other people" "oh" they walked in silence till they got to the training grounds. "Ok here we are Hinata-chan" "hai like I said im not the best shinobi so im not a good sparring partner." God she needs to loosen up im sure she's fine if she puts her mind to it.' "Hinata im sure your fine ok" Gaara said with a little bit of an annoyed tone. oh great now he's getting annoyed with me this day sucks.' "Hai ok" "all right then"

Hinata was thrown to the ground by Gaara's sand. She quickly threw 3 kunai but they were all reflected back at her. She jumped over one grabbing the other to with her hands and charged forward. She attacked the sand but saw she couldn't get by. She darted backwards as the sand went to grab her. "Shadow clone jutsu" she made five shadow clones sending them in one on all sides and one on top. She threw the three kunai aimed for a centimeter above the top of his head the sand darted up wards. The sand was in a box formation around him because of the shadow clones and suddenly she came upwards from the ground. She held a kunai at his neck but he used his hand and pushed hers away. He kicked her in the side but she rebounded with her left her going into his stomach. She darted back and jumped up in a tree his sand following her. She tried to escape but found that she couldn't. it wrapped itself around her oh no! Oh no! Ok ok how do I get out of this? Gaara-kun's Kazekage now he wouldn't hurt me. Right? Ekkkk!!!' she closed her eyes not knowing what to suspect. "Hinata-chan" she opened her eyes. Oh god she thought I was going to hurt her I can see if in her eyes. Why would I want to hurt her she's beautiful…. GOD I have got to stop thinking of that.

But what if I don't want to hmm…

"Hinata are you all right?" "Hai Gaara-kun" "I think we've sparred enough for today." Gaara said with a smile.(a rare sight I know) "I have to go work on the fairgrounds" Hinata said. "Ok I might stop by there later." "Ok" "goodbye Hinata-chan." "Goodbye Gaara-kun."

a week later

Hinata was thrown back but pushed her feet down so she skidded to a stop. She smirked, Gaara did also. Over the past week Gaara had made her become more open, more playful. She threw 5 kunai and 3 Shuriken at him. He dogged them all, but she had disappeared. Suddenly she was behind him kunai at his neck. He had also helped her fight better. He moved to the side and turned around to find that she had another kunai in her left hand and had moved forward at him. He tried to move back but found that he was pinned against a tree with a kunai pointed at his chest and neck. "I win" Hinata said with a half smile half smirk. She stepped back and put her kunai's away. She went to pick up the kunai that had fallen to the ground. Gaara came be hind her and put his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. She leaned her head back looking at the clouds. "Hinata-chan." "Hmm? What is it Gaara-kun?" "Do you want to go to the fair with me?" "What?" she turned to look at Gaara. "Are you serious?" WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING OF COUSE SHE DOSNT' "yes I am serious." Gaara said. "Ok" "WHAT!" "What? Gaara did you think I was going to say no?" Hinata asked with a small frown on her face. ok answer carefully' "yes" THAT WASN'T CAREFUL YOU IDIOT!' "Your silly, Gaara why would I say no? Ill sees you later." ok at least shell go but why did I ask her? Do I like her? Rgggggggg!' hahahahaha now do you see I was right?
