Today was the day. Everything had been leading up to this. Hinata sat fidgeting in her seat surrounded by the rest of the rookie nine, and the sand siblings who were in town to celebrate the fire works festival that would take place later that evening. Everything was perfect. Today was the day she was going to confess her feelings to Naruto.

If everything went according to plan in just a few short hours she'd be sitting next to none other than the blonde boy with big dreams during the big show.

The others were engaging in light conversation while Hinata poked at her plate trying to figure out exactly what she would say. A light squeeze to her arm jerked her from her thoughts. Her startled eyes met a reassuring a gaze from Kiba, which hardened her resolve.

Her gentle features took on a look of determination and with that she was on her feet. In the heat of the moment her sudden movements were a bit too rough causing her chair to fall backwards and land on the floor with a loud thud. She had successfully gained the attention of everyone in the room.

With all eyes on her she flushed a deep shade of scarlet. It took all of her willpower not to right her chair and sit back down. She willed herself to meet the eyes of the hyperactive blonde that was the object of affection.

"Naruto-kun. I..."

She tried again.

"I have something to tell you."

She was met with silence. Everyone was staring at her with anticipation. No turning back now.

"I love you"

The boy blinked in shock. He wasn't the only one. Everyone stared on in awe aside her two teammates. Even she was surprised. She had said it! Just as soon as a small smile had begun to grace her lips Naruto started to speak.

"Hinata-chan I'm sorry. My heart belongs to Sakura."

Hinata's face fell. She felt her heart drop. But just before the pain could set in she felt something else. A feeling that was foreign to her. She couldn't quite place it. It bubbled in her guts. The room turned cold. Before she knew it, it was spewing out of her mouth. Her shy demeanor quickly forgotten.

"You're kidding right. You are telling me that you're turning me down for that flat chested pink haired no good traitor loving tramp? The same girl who's always turned her nose up at you?" Her voice had risen to a shout.

She then let out a string of profanities that'd make a sailor blush. To everyone's horror she began going around the table.

"Sai you're an asshole"

Sai remained expressionless.

"Ino you're self absorbed"

Ino rolled her eyes in response

"Shikamaru you're so lazy it's pathetic"

Shikamaru accepted It with a shrug

"Choji you need a diet"

Choju paused with his chop sticks in the air before continuing to eat unfazed by her comment.

"Neji you should see a doctor about getting that stick removed from your ass."

A look of rage crossed the prodigies features.

"TenTen, I can't for the life of me figure out just what it is you see in my cousin. "

TenTen colored in response.

"Lee, for gods sake Lee burn that damn leotard."

Tears streamed from the taijutsu users eyes.

When her eyes fell upon Gaara, who had been seated next to her, she stopped for a brief moment.

"And you."

She said very sternly. Gaara's eyes widened. What could he possibly done to invoke this tiny girls wrath? He had never even spoken to her.

Before he could even realize what was happening she had an iron like grip on the front of his shirt, and was planting a rough kiss on his very own lips. Seconds passed before she slammed him back into his seat.

At that she turned to face her audience, raised both of her fist, and with the meanest look that had ever been on her face flipped them all double birds. Then she pivoted towards the door, and stormed off, kickinug up hell behind her.

A short time later hinata found herself sitting atop the hokage monument with her head in her hands. Sobs wracked her body. All of her friends probably hated her, she made a complete fool of herself in front of everyone, and Naruto didn't return her feelings. Not to mention the whole thing with the kazekage. They'd probably get her for assault.

But at the very least she didn't say anything bad about her teammates or offend the other two Sabaku siblings. Even though she was sure they thought she was crazy. Way to go Hinata. Ruin everybody's night. That thought brought on a fresh wave of sobs.

The snapping of a twigs startled her and she whipped around to see the very same kazekage who occupied her thoughts moments before. She was mortified.

He was a good five feet away. She stood up and began walking toward him. At this he visibly tensed. Once she was about a foot or two away she thrust out both her arms in front of her and put her head down.

Gaara was puzzled. His face contorted in confusion. This girl really was... interesting to say the least. When nothing happened Hinata dared to steal a glance. Gaara noticed then her tear stained face. She had been crying? Gaara had now idea what to expect.

"What are you doing?" Gaara ask. The bewilderment evident in his voice. Hinata jumped at the sound.

"You've come to a..arrest me haven't you?" She murmured.

"Arrest you for what?" Gaara almost laughed.

"Assault" Her voice was very quiet now. Gaara almost didn't hear.

Gaara didn't answer. Instead he took in her appearance for the first time; Midnight hair, lavender eyes, delicate features. The way she glowed in the moonlight was stunning. She was beautiful. A beautiful puzzle. Gaara then decided that he liked the girl. It was Gaara who broke the silence.

"Naruto is an idiot." Gaara muttered. And with that he took his leave.

Hinata watched him slip into darkness. What on earth was that about? She didn't feel like trying to figure it out at the moment though. She was far too tired both physically and emotionally, the day's events finally taking their toll. Instead she trudged back home, eyes down cast. fireworks lighting the way. So much for going according to plan.
