Hello, hello everyone. This is the seventh fic I've started on this year. But you all are lucky, this is the first one that has a complete chapter. What's even better, I actually know what I'm typing about, no randomness….yet.

This is a Gaara/Hinata pairing, I have no idea where the story is heading and there is NO SASUKE!!!! I just see no point of having him exist, him with his inferiority complex. Oh well, I'm gonna need a bunch of help once I get bored, lol.♥

ENJOY!!!!! 1:52 AM

Disclaimer: I own no one… except Damien and Rose, but they're real so they don't matter as much. cries in corner ♥

Chapter 1 -- Letters

For the Manor

Nothing is as it should be. That was something I learned at a very young age. As the heiress of my clan, I should be strong, powerful, dominative; those things I am not. I am fragile, weak, a waste of time. I am sorry to say that if you are reading this, then I have most likely carried out my wish to no longer be of the living. If anything, I am most sorry that you have had to put up with me for seventeen years.

Father, Hanabi will lead your clan to greatness, something I am sure I would have never been able to do. I have left all of the money I've collected over the years to Hanabi as most of my possessions.

Hanabi, be strong, my death might not grieve you, but you must carry the weight of greatness on your shoulders. Be proud. You know have a lot more than you could ever imagine.

Neji-kun, I have no regrets about this as I have thought it out clearly. You have always been better than me in the Gentle Fist technique, I wish for you to be the backbone of Hanabi's success.

Farewell, my family. It is all for the best.

Hinata Hyuuga

For Kiba, Shino, Naruto, Lee, Chouji, and Shikamaru

I'm sorry things have to be this way, but I only want the best for everyone.

Kiba-kun, you and Akamaru-kun have grown so much, I will definitely miss you and your quirkiness and jokes. I wish you two happiness.

Shino-kun, I know we didn't talk much, but you have always been there for me. I should have told you what I was planning to do, but you would have told Kiba, and he would have tried to stop me. As I said before, this is for the best. I wish you happiness.

Naruto-kun, you have always been the light this village needed. I hope you will become Hokage one day like you're always saying. I wish you and Sakura-chan the best.

Lee-kun, you are definitely the most energetic shinobi in the Hidden Leaf Village. You could always make me smile. I wish you and Ino-chan the best.

Chouji-kun, I don't get how you can eat so much without ever bursting. It's something that I've always wondered about, but I guess I won't know now will I? You and Shikamaru-kun have always had each other's backs, I wish you two happiness and everlasting friendship.

Shikamaru-kun, I probably shouldn't write this to you, but I trust that the letter will be burned once everyone reads it. I am very proud that you had become an ANBU member when you turned fifteen. I wish you and Temari-san the best of luck and happiness in your marriage.

Hinata Hyuuga

For Sakura, Ino, and Tenten

Sakura-chan, you have always been like a big sister to me. I greatly appreciated the tips you attempted giving me on make-up, but face it, things like that just never looked as good on me as they do on you. I wish you and Naruto the best of luck with your relationship.

Ino-chan, you and Sakura-chan could give any boring occasion some type of entertainment. Your rivalry will be missed. Oh, and by-the-way, your hair looks nice short. I wish you and Lee the best of luck with your marriage.

Tenten-chan, your weaponry skills are quite astounding. You make a great kunoichi, and you will make an even better mother. I wish you, Neji-kun, and your unborn baby girl the best of luck and happiness.

Hinata Hyuuga

For Kurenai-sensei

Please don't feel bad about this. You were my inspiration for years and I will never forget your kindness. I left all of my money to the family, but I want you to have my butterfly pins. They were my 3rd most prized possessions, I want them to be yours, all 71 of them. If Hanabi wants some, she can have up to ten. Please watch over everyone for I can no longer do that. Thank you for everything Kurenai-sensei.

Hinata Hyuuga

Hinata had just finished writing the last of her farewell letters when 4:30pm came around. While arranging the letters neatly on her dresser, a crow dropped a note by her feet and flew back out of the open window. A message from Tsunade-sama? she wondered.

Hinata-san,

Please meet at the Hokage's Central Office at 1700.

Arigato.

Shizune-san

How interesting. Hinata thought after looking at the clock on her bedside table. It was 4:33 at that moment and she hadn't even begun to get ready for the festival that started at 5. It shouldn't take too long, Tsunade always sends messages at the very last minute if it's urgent, I just hope it doesn't cut into my plans for tonight.

10 minutes had passed and Hinata had put on a Raven's Blue cheongsam that had sky blue finishes and a silver lining. The dress wasn't her style showing so much skin, so she also had on thigh high black boots.

"Hinata onee-sama?" Hanabi called as she knocked on the door.

"Yes Hanabi?"

"You look pretty. I hope you have fun at the Festival tonight. Father won't let me attend. Will you take me to the one for tomorrow, Song of the Nightingales?" Hanabi asked sweetly as her and her sister headed towards the gates.

Hinata couldn't bring herself to lie to her little sister. "We'll see Hanabi, we'll see. But tonight, Father wants you to train. Be good." Hinata called out as she ran past the gates. I have 15 minutes, that's more than enough time to get to Tsunade-sama's.

With 5 minutes left, Hinata wasn't in too much of a hurry to get to the Hokage's office, she was ending everything that night anyway. What could be important enough that Tsunade-sama would cut her time of drinking sake at a festi- her thoughts trailed off as she walked into the room. The first person she noticed, the important person she noticed. The Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara.

Star: wellsies?

Hinata: umm…am I that depressed

Star: Chyeah, mehbie…

Gaara: mn, those aren't real words…

Star: If I'm using them, then they're real enough!

Gaara: …psycho…

Star: AND YA KNOW IT!!! Please review
