I just wanted to say thank you for the reviews and sorry I didn't post sooner, I just finished with all my finals. Also I forgot the disclaimer on the last chapter. So here it is: I don't own Naruto, although if I did there would be a whole lot more of Gaara. :p

Gaara was not having a good day, "What do you mean it will take a year to set up a branch out here?" His assistant mumbled frightened apologies over the phone " Sorry sir but without reliable people there in the beginning it will take some time to train people and get enough interns." Yeah it was definitely not a good day. " Is there any way to get this done sooner?" He growled into the phone. He started to pace around Temari's guest room. His assistant told him he will try to find a way then hung up. Gaara threw it at the bed then continued pacing.

This is starting to get on my nerves, he thought, this branch better be worth all th- Temari's yelling interrupted his thoughts. "No that's not what I wanted take him and go get those other samples." He felt the front door slam, as he glanced out the window he saw Kankuro and a woman storm to Kankuro's car. This might be a good time to go look at some real-estate for that new office, he thought to himself as he quickly left the room.

" So far so good Tomo, I love the layout you have set up for the pictures." Hinata said as she glanced at the pictures in front of her. " Yeah, at least your easy to please," Tomo laid his head on the table, " Temari has no imagination, 'this cant be right the colors are all wrong, it will clash with my dress if we take them here'"

Hinata giggled at his almost perfect imitation of Temari's voice. " She's turned into bridezilla, Hinata and I'm not the only one who has noticed." Hinata thought about this for a second. He's right poor Kiri has to design a whole new dress, and Yuki called last night about ready to put a few holes in Temari. " I'll talk to her maybe I can calm her down." Hinata said trying to comfort her friend. " Hey isn't Naruto coming over soon?" She asked changing the subject.

Tomo jumped up " Oh my god, I almost forgot I need to get ready," He hugged Hinata and gently pushed her out the door, "I'll call you later love, hopefully you can get a glance at that gorgeous Gaara while your at Temari's." And with that Tomo closed the door. Hinata giggled when she heard a muffled crash and Tomo swear. Oh to be in love with someone, she thought to herself. Then images of her past filtered through her mind, kind and sweet, she quickly amended.

"Kiba how many times do we have to go over this?" Kiri asked as she glared at him. " I can't have Akamaru around those suits, Temari will kill us all if there is a single thing wrong them." She started to tap her foot, "or do you want us all to die?" Akamaru whined quietly from his bed. " Aww he only wants to be involved Kiri give him a break." Kiba replied running a hand through his brown hair. Kiri gazed softened as she continued to look at him. Man am I lucky he's mine.

Kiba was tall, and had a sexy wild look to him. All his facial features enhanced this, his canines were slightly longer then his other teeth. His hair grew in every direction and he had two tattoos in the shape of upside down triangles right under his check bones. " Maybe I'll let you make it up to me," Kiri said as she slowly walked up to him. " But you have to say sorry first." Kiba caught on to her mood as his arms wound around her waist. "Sorry" He whispered as he kissed her neck. " Punish me however you want to" Kiri giggled and all thoughts of Temari's wedding slipped her mind.

" Please do not touch that I will personally break your arm." Yuki said sweetly to Kankuro as he went to reach for a display, " You are only here to carry the few things that I can't to Temari's." Kankuro rolled his eyes, man this woman is driving me crazy, but she's hot. As if she could sense his thoughts, Yuki turned around and glared at him. " What I wasn't touching anything woman." He said raising his hands. God for someone so little she's scary.

Yuki was a small 5'4," with short strawberry blond and the same light gray eyes as her cousins. And just like Kiri, she was out spoken and blunt but could be very sweet. " Kankuro you can take this box of samples ok?" She said pointing to a large box on the table, " and I'll take this one." Yuki quickly picked up the small box right next to her. " When did I become a pack mule." Kankuro mumbled to himself as he hefted the box and headed out after her.

When Yuki and Kankuro arrived at back at Temari's they were greeted by a surly Shikamaru. " I wouldn't go in there if you value your life," he mumbled " Hinata told her to take it easy and Temari flipped." Kankuro quickly shoved his way in hoping to save Hinata from Temari's wrath. But when he came into the kitchen what he saw surprised him.

Hinata was holding a sobbing Temari when a shocked Kankuro busted in followed by Yuki and Shikamaru. " What happened baby?" Shikamaru's voice was full of concern as he rushed to her side. Hinata got up slowly, " Shika, Temari has something she wants to tell you. Kankuro and Yuki will you guys help me I left some things in my car." Hinata gently shoved them out of the house.

"What do you need to talk to me about love?" Shikamaru asked Temari. She motioned him to sit in the chair next to her, then she blew her nose. " Shikamaru…. I'm… I might…. Imtwomonthslate." she spit out real fast. " What?" he asked trying to understand her between the sobbing. Temari took a few deep breaths to calm her self down, " Shika I'm two months late." She said slowly watching his face as each word sunk in. Shikamaru's face went from shock to scared then back to shock.

" Are you sure it's not just the stress of planning the wedding getting to you?" he asked. Temari shook her head and pointed at the table, oh no he's not going to be ok with this. Following her finger he saw the open envelope from the hospital. Shikamaru picked up the papers reading carefully. " I did two at home tests then went to the doctors last week," she paused to see his reaction. " is this what made you so upset Mari?" She nodded, her eyes on the table. " So I'm going to be a father?" He asked his voice filled with wonder. Temari snorted, and when Shikamaru lifted his eyes and he saw Temari smiling. "No genius I'm asexual," she said rolling her eyes.

" Explain to me again why I can't go inside Woman." Kankuro growled at the tiny woman standing in the doorway. Who does she think she is. he thought to himself. As if she could read his mind Hinata looked at Kankuro and said " I am Hinata Hyuga, your sisters best friend and wedding planner." She then offered her hand smiling, " Its finally nice to meet you Kankuro." Yuki started to giggle when she saw the shock on Kankuro's face as he stared at Hinata's hand.

Kankuro was starting to get irritated. " That's not I asked Hinata." He said making her name sound like a swear. "Tell me why I can't go see what's wrong with my sister." Hinata looked at Kankuro and shivered slightly as he continued to glare daggers at her, if looks could kill dang, she thought. Taking a breath to steady herself she answered him, " Because your sister needs to talk about something important with her fiancé." " What is so important," a low, cold, grating voice asked, "that you are keeping me from entering my sister's house?" Hinata squeaked in surprise as she and everyone else turned to see Gaara standing on the sidewalk.

Gaara studied the three people in front of him. His brother and the small woman next to him quickly lost his interest. He stared at the tiny woman blocking the door. She was easily no taller then 5 feet, her waist long hair was an interesting dark indigo color but that wasn't what had caught his eye. What an unusual eye color, almost white but tinted with lavender, he thought to himself.

" W-well… um… y-your sister needs… t-to tell Shika something." Hinata said quietly. Why am I stuttering I haven't done that in years, " … a-and why a-are you s-staring at me?" Gaara just shrugged. Hinata let out another squeak as the door behind her opened. Shikamaru walked out his arms around Temari, both were smiling. " Everyone come inside we have something to tell you."

Hinata only half listened to Temari and Shikamaru as they explained to everyone else what she figured out earlier, her attention was on Temari's brothers. The loud angry mumbling was coming from Kankuro. The stifled laughter came from Yuki, as she tried really hard not to laugh at him. But if she hadn't been watching him, Hinata wouldn't have noticed Gaara's stoic deposition falter a bit as his right eye twitch and his fists clench and unclench once.

Her eyes took in his dark crimson hair that stuck out in in every direction, and his blue-green eyes which were focused on his sister. There was, she noticed, also a red "Love" kanji tattoo right above his left eye. Why did he make me stutter earlier? she thought to herself, I don't remember the last time I've done that, although he is kinda hot. A few other thoughts ran through her mind each getting progressively dirtier as they passed.

Gaara looked up to see Hinata staring at him. She looked down quickly her face turning a light pink. I wonder what she's thinking about, he thought quickly as he forced his eyes to focus back on his sister. "So how do you guys feel about being uncles?" Temari asked her voice filled with worry. Gaara quickly kicked his older brother before he could hurt her feelings. "Congratulations, Temari," he stood up to grab Shikamaru's hand rather roughly, "congratulations Shikamaru, and Kankuro I need to talk to you upstairs." He grabbed his shocked older brother's arm and dragged him out of the room.

Hinata watched as the shock of her brothers' sudden exit faded off of Temari's face. " Well I guess that could have gone worse," Hinata said quietly, " Kankuro looked like he was ready to kill you Shika." Temari smiled faintly at Hinata's attempt to keep her from bursting into tears. " He might have if Gaara had slower reflexes." Shikamaru just shrugged and pulled Temari into the living room after him.

Yuki shook her head, " Dang Tomo was right Gaara is hot, but did you see Kankuro's arms, he is so built like a rock. Oh kami that is so sexy." She quickly grabbed Hinata's hand "And girl when did you star the stutter thing again? And the last time I saw you go that red was when you were going out wi-" Hinata jerked her hand out from Yuki's grasp so fast it startled both of them. "Yuki," she said her voice sounding hollow and lifeless, "I think I'm going to go, can you tell Temari that I need to rearrange some things to compensate for her pregnancy."

Yuki watched her go, "You know she doesn't like to remember him," Shikamaru said quietly causing Yuki to jump. "So why do you insist on bringing it up?" Yuki stood up and slowly turned to face Shikamaru, "Because Shika someone has to help her heal all that pain that teme left behind."

I wonder who "He" is? O wait I know. Hehe anyways please review, and any constructive criticism is welcome but since this is my first story please be nice.
