I don't own Naruto

Not Exactly a Love Letter


26th of August

To Sabaku no Gaara:

Sir,

You might not know me but my name might ring a bell. I am Yamanaka Ino of Konohagakure. It was recently brought to my attention that my Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto, has betrothed me to you for reasons he does not wish to articulate. Forgive my frankness, but how did a respectable gentleman like you agree to such an inexplicable arrangement? I hope you reconsider your decision and put off this wedding as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Ino


28th of August

Ino,

I have no intention of putting off the wedding. I advise you to get used to the idea.

Your to-be husband,

Gaara


31st of August

To Sabaku no Gaara:

Sir,

How can you expect me to be accustomed to this idea? I do not know you and you do not know me. Do you even have a single clue to what I look like? I could be a girl with a crooked nose, a potty mouth and a plump figure. I am certain that you do not want to risk marrying someone like that.

Ino


3rd of September

Ino,

I know your name and I know that you are a kunoichi. You know my name and you know that I am the Kazekage. Are you satisfied now?

I will also have you know that I picked you out of an album with a photo of all the women who are of marrying age in Konoha, prepared by Naruto, so I know that you have a dainty nose, a rosette mouth and a slim figure. This will work to my advantage because I intend to have beautiful offspring, who will hopefully take after your looks.

Your to-be husband,

Gaara


7th of September

To Sabaku no Gaara:

I do not care if you are the Kazekage or the Mizukage or the Raikage! I am NOT marrying you and this is my final decision!

Ino


9th of September

Ino,

I am sure that you will change your mind once you meet me. Don't make hasty decisions till then.

Your to-be husband,

Gaara


12th of September

To Sabaku no Gaara:

And what word of my last letter did you not understand? Your letters prove to me that you are an egotistic baboon who'd like nothing better than to marry someone for the sake of their looks. If you have any shame, break the proposal!

Ino


15th of September

Ino,

Sorry to break your hopes but I am not an egotistic baboon trying to amuse himself by replying to girls like you. You are highly immature, but your immaturity only proves to me how innocent you are... and in some strange way, it appeals to me.

Your to-be husband,

Gaara


17th of September

To Sabaku no Gaara:

I am not immature. You are forcing me to say this- but I have to. I despise you for ruining my life.

Ino


27th of September

To Sabaku no Gaara:

I didn't receive a reply from you so I believe my last letter didn't reach you. Hence, I am forced to repeat what I said last time.

I hate you for ruining my life.

There. I have said it.

Ino


13th of October

To Sabaku no Gaara:

Are you dead? I hope so. It would save me a lot of trouble.

Ino


17th of November

To Sabaku no Gaara

It's not that I care... but why aren't you replying back anymore? Have you become tired of me?

Ino


30th of November

Ino,

I think your wishes finally came true. My country was attacked and I was fatally wounded while I battled to defend Sunagakure. Right now, I am lying on the hospital bed, desperately fighting for life. The doctor says that I have an injured heart and I am bleeding from inside. I don't know how long I have to live. Even though you despise me, I still love you. It's sad that I won't ever be able to see your beautiful face.

Your dying husband,

Gaara


2nd of December

Gaara,

Oh Gaara, I hope you are still alive. I am so sorry. My tears can't make up for the horrible things I have said to you. And I know you won't even forgive me when you go to heaven. If only I could take back those words... I am so sorry. Is there anything I can do?

Ino


15th of December

Dearest Ino,

The doctor and my comrades are all solemn. What I had been fearing to hear has already been said.

Is there anything you could do?

Yes... please make my last wish come true. Please say that you love me.

Your dying husband,

Gaara


17th of December

Gaara,

Of course, I love you. Your letters were always so amusing and made me laugh. In fact, I would marry you if you could survive. But love is such a tragedy... Like Romeo and Juliet, death is parting us. I really love you.

Your love,

Ino


18th of December

Ino,

Good to hear that. I am coming to Konoha next Friday. Be prepared for the wedding.

Your to-be husband,

Gaara


19th of December

To Sabaku no Gaara

You lied to me about your health! You-you- lying, arrogant, self-absorbed baboon... I will make your life-a living hell!

Ino


22nd of December

Ino,

Why, thank you! You should learn to deviate your energies to more useful things... like pleasing me. Not that I am having a perverted notion in my mind.

Your groom,

Gaara


24th of December

To Sabaku no Gaara:

I hate you!

Ino


25th of December

My Dear Wife Ino,

I love you too.

Your Husband,

Gaara
