ohhh btw... incase u were wondering why hinata doesnt have her stutter, its because she is becoming stonger and is getting more confidence etc. she will probly have it later on when she gets intimadated by her father or something like that but as for now i cant be bothered writing in her stuttering haha lol. so oh well. Oh and of course she has her crush on naruto so there may be stuttering... i dont know ill suss it out.

THIS IS REALLY SHORT. DONT HATE ME!


When they reached the appartment Hinata opened the door and entered first, holding the door open for the rest of them. She showed them around the apartment. It wasn't a very large but that suited him just fine. It was a nice change from the mansion that the three had grown accustomed to. There were three bedrooms, one bathroom, a small kitchen and an open lounge room. It was all the three of them really needed.

Hinata placed the keys on the table and Temari began searching through the various cupboards and draws in the kitchen. They were basically empty aside from afew plates and basic cutlery.

"Hey Hinata is there anyplace around here where I could get some supply's?" Temari asked from behind the door to the empty cupboard she was looking into.

Hinata smiled, "yeah of course. Would you like me to take you?"

"Yes please. Gaara, Kankuro, feel like a walk?"

"Yeah sure, why not.", he replyed. It wasnt like there was anything better for him to do... for the time being anyway. Kankuro was about to disagree until his sister gave him a stern look,"A-Alright...".

As they walked through the streets of Konoha they received many stares from passing villagers. Some people would smile and wave or a polite nod as they passed the young kage, but there were still a select handful or so who looked at him with fear and disgust in their eyes. He couldnt blame them though, he had spent most of his life doing more harm then good. Much more harm.

"GAARA!!"

He froze apon hearing that voice he knew so well. 'Oh dear kami save me now!' He slowly turned around. "Naruto", the kage stated, noding his head hesitantly. It wasnt that he disliked the blonde. It was quite the opisite. Naruto was his first real friend, it was just that sometimes he was a bit to... enthusiastic for his own good.

"Gaara! Oh my god! Why didnt you tell me you where coming? This is great!!"

Naruto began rambling on about catching up on old times but gaara really wasnt listning. His eye where to busy being focused on the girl standing beside him. Her attentions were souly focused on Naruto. Hinata was listning intently to everything the boy was saying... apparently she was the only one. Gaara also noticed a slight blush adorning her pale cheeks.

'so she still likes him then.'

He felt a touch of sadness at that thought. He was about to consider why when he felt himself being dragged away. He gave the others a pleading look before turning to the blonde.

"Naruto", he said with a tone of warning in his voice. "where are we going?", stated just as sternly.

"Ramen of course! Were you not listning?", Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Apparently not. "


"Thanks for that Hinata", Temari said putting the newly perchased groceries on the table.

"Anytime", She replyed with a smile and began helping the suna kunoichi unpack the recently purchased goods. Kankuro was lounging infront of the television, every so often flicking through the channels. He stiffled a yawn before sighing and heading towards his room.

There was a sudden whirl of sand and Gaara was now standing before them in the kitchen with a bored look on his face. Hinata was recovering from the miniture heart attack she received from his arival and Temari was glaring. "What?" he asked with a mischevious smirk on his face. Someone began banging on the door and his eyes widened, panic spreading across his features, wondering how on earth Naruto had found him so quick. It wasnt to long before the brutal attack on their front door was joined by extreamly loud yelling. "GAARA!! ARE YOU IN THERE? HELLOOOO... SOMEONE OPEN THE DOOR"

"Ill get it for you" Hinata walked to Gaara and gave him a reassuring smile before turning and making her way to the door. He let out a breath of releif.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she said, faking a confused look.

"Hinata-chan!! Have you seen Gaara??"

"Naruto-kun, i t-thought he was with you. I havn't seen him s-s-since we bumped into you."

"Really? Damnit. He was with me but he dissapeared. I was gonna ask him if he wanted to train later. Oh well i guess ill see you later Hinata-chan!"

"Bye N-Naruto-kun!" she closed the door, her hand stiffling a giggle as the blonde walked away. When she re-entered the kitchen Gaara was smirking at her. "What?" she said much in the same manor the sand nin had when he entered the appartment.


Okay so i said i would try and update quikly because i had figured out the basic plot to this story. My bad, lol im sorry. I do have excuses though... even though there reeli crappy ones. Okay WELL at first i was going good. i began this chapter which btw has nothing interesting in it at all. Then i had BULK writers block and chucked the shits and was like "OOOH NUH SCREW THIS IM NOT CUT OUT FOR MULTI CHAPTERS" and then completely forgot it exsited. And then i was considering a sequal for "nine days" and i was beta-ing it and then i found this. And then im like oooh i might as well finish this chapter. and then BAM here we are many months later. lol isnt that great...

so im not promising anything and i have no clue when the next chapter will be out cos i lost the peice of paper that i wrote the plot outline on and im working on a sequal to nine days. So until then... when ever it may be lol.

Feel free to flame me on my horrible updating skills!! actaully i encourage that you do and therefore i will be motivated to write more lol.
