Hinata and Gaara's beautiful days

Surprising News

It was a beautiful day.

Hinata had invited her teammates, Kiba and Shino, over for some tea. She smiled sweetly and hummed a gentle tune. They all sat on the porch enjoying the sunny autumn sky. But Hinata's mind was somewhere else. Her teammates knew this.

Kiba: "Psst! Shino! Hinata's been acting pretty strange lately."

Shino: "Yes, I noticed."

Kiba: "She's been skipping around wherever we go. Not only that, did you get a whiff of that fancy perfume she's wearing? Everytime we try to talk to her, she's too busy dreaming in her Naruto clouds!"

Shino: "I know. She isn't listening to our conversation at this moment either."

As Hinata continued to hum her happy little tune, Neji and Lee walked up to the porch.

Lee: "Hey! Team 8!"

Neji: "I… well Lee invited himself over for some tea. I hope it's ok if we have some of your tea, Hinata-sama."

Hinata: "Uh… huh? Oh, um, y-yes of course…"

Kiba: "There she goes back to daydreaming…"

Neji: "Is she alright?"

Kiba: "Yeah… it's just a N-a-r-u-t-o thing…"

Neji: "Hmmm… I guess it's normal…"

Shino: "Actually today she has that look in her eyes."

Lee and Neji: "Look?"

Kiba: "Shino, what are you talking about?"

Shino: "Kiba, I'm sure you remember those failed moments when Hinata tries to confess with all the shy courage in her. She always gets that look in her eyes when she is mentally and emotionally preparing herself."

Kiba: "Ah yeah! They end up pretty, um how to put this… embarrassing."

Lee: "She sure doesn't give up!"

Neji: "I don't like it."

Lee: "But N-a-r-u-t-o is a good guy and an excellent ninja!"

Neji: "It's not that I don't like N-a-r-u-t-o or think bad of him… it's just that she really should be careful. It could end in heartache. Why not some other guy who isn't completely in love with Sakura?"

Lee: "I see…"

Hinata stood up.

Hinata: "Um, p-please excuse me. I need to go run an e-e-errand."

She jumped off the porch and ran out into the street.

Shino: "She's going to go look for him."

Kiba: "This could get bad..."

Kiba stood up.

Kiba: "Shino, she might end up fainting like last time! We have to stop her!"

Neji was the one to stand up.

Neji: "I'm coming too."

Lee: "Count me in!"

The three ninjas started to walk towards the street. Shino stood up silently thinking to himself.

Shino: "And how are we all supposed to stop her from her 'determined' love?"

But he followed silently behind them keeping words to himself.

There he was.

Hinata: "Naruto…"

He was at the usual ramen stand with Sakura. Before she could take one step towards Ichiraku's, she heard someone call her name. Actually three people call her name.

Kiba, Neji, and Lee: "HINATA!"

Shino was right behind them.

Hinata: "W-What's wrong? Why are you all here?"

Neji: "Hinata-sama, um, your father is calling you."

Hinata: "B-But father is on a full day's mission."

Kiba: "We can't let you go there!"

Hinata: "Why?"

There was a long silence.

Lee: "GAARA-KUN IS IN LOVE WITH YOU!"
