JKakashi and sakura time(in the chapter)J

Our favorite pink-haired jonin medic nin was walking back from lunch with Ino as they were their they talked about how guys like Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba,(akamaru), Shino, Naruto, and Neji Hyuuga have changed and become so freakin Sexy.

Ino on the other hand has been engaged with Choji for about 2 months and you'll never find a happier couple like them^^ around(anyway back to the story)

Sliding the door, the pink-haired jonin walked into the hospital, back from her lunch break.

"hiya Sakura-sempai nice to see you, how was lunch." one of the girls that just began working their smiled at Sakura.

She of course smiled back, "it's good to see you to, Naomi-chan, and lunch was splendid as always haha has it gotten busy before I got here."

Naomi shook her head, "n-no not at all it's a lot calmer than it usually is Sakura-sempai, but Lady Tsunade-sama has been asking for you, she said once you get back from lunch…to go and see her, so you should see her now."

Sakura nodded her head. " alright I'll go right now…talk to you later Naomi-chan, keep up the good work."

"I will thank you sakura-chan….I will haha." Naomi-chan then went back to work holding on to a clipboard with the data on a shin-obi that had just been put into a room, the name read 'Choji Akamichi' on it.

'Choji Akamichi, I wonder what he got into this time.' her curious mind wonder as she headed to his room to check up on her patient,

Opening the door, she walked in, and went to his bed, with a smile.

"hello Choji-kun, how are you feeling today."

He looked up at Naomi, "oh hello Naomi-chan I'm feeling better, do you know when I will be able to get out of here."

She held the clipboard closer to her upper chest as she answered with a calmness about her, " you can get out this afternoon your already checked out so you can leave now if you wanted to--."

Without a second to soon Choji was already put his clothes on and was about to head out the door before he stopped to turn around and smiled at the young medic-nin "thanks for taking caring for me, Naomi-chan, hope I can see you soon your really…neat, hehheh."

A blush creep'd across Naomi's face, 'd-did he just say I was--neat, and that he hopes to see me again….oh my.' while she was in her own world, Choji already left and was exiting the konoha hospital doors as we speak.

(note to everyone Naomi when she heres something from I guy, let's say oh…'your really cute' or 'your really neat' she turn away alittle bit and blush without a second thought because that's how I wanted to make her,^^ too tell you the truth, I thought that she's going to be an amazingly funny character haha well, back to the story more info on the characters later)

{Tsunade's office}

Tsunade was stacking papers as she heard knocking on her office door and knew that it was Sakura the moment that she got the okay to come into her office.

"hello Sakura-chan, you came as I expected." she smiled that usual smile that she does.

Sakura did the same, "yes…what was it that you wanted to ask me, Lady Tsunade-sama." leaning into her desk Tsunade spook in a soft tone that always gave off her positive aura.

"oh yes that's right…well as you know, the Kazekage's birthday is coming and as you know…Gaara does not like these kinds of things, and so his siblings decided to have a BIG surprise party here in the ballroom in Konoha only he doesn't know yet that's why it's a surprise,ha, anyway I just received a scroll that Kankuro had sent instead of a normal messanger…so this is where you come in."

At this point Sakura heard everything down to the littlest detail, and wanted to know what she was suppose to do.

"so what am I supposed to do Lady Tsunade."

Now she laid back in her chair crossing her left leg over her right one.

"you are to help, Ino, Hinata, Temari, Kankuro, tenten, and Kiba, Naruto, Shikamaru, maybe, when he comes back today from his mission, your going to decorate the ballroom the way Temari and Kankuro have planned it your suggestions might be in the Final Decision if need be, that's why I'm given you, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, a break from any missions and from the hospital tomorrow and the next day…so don't even PLAN on coming to work tomorrow kay'. you may leave that is all."

Our pink-haired jonin-medic nin only bowed and left without saying a word, knowing that she can't come to work tomorrow or the day after that is hard to comprehend for her but she has to deal with it one way or another.

'what am I going to do in the mean time breaks like that I'd rather BE on a mission or in the hospital than anything else, sigh…what am I going to do, ~_~

Well whatever I don't care, hmmm what should I do maybe I'll go back to the house I'll just have to figure something that's take WORK off my mind'

As the pink haired jonin walked home she didn't sense that Ino was ttryin' to get her attention. "SAKUUUUUURAAAAAA…hey Billboard-brow….HEY."

Finally she responded…

"what did you say…Ino-Pig…"

'whoa touchy haha oh well."…Ino only sighed "it's nothing, nothing don't get your head in a bundle, haha, all I came to say is that are excited to do our first birthday planning haha I'm SOOO psyched, aren't you Sakura." Sakura only groaned, "…I don't know…I guess, but I've got to say your totally PSYCHED, eh Ino."

Ino nodded wildly, she was always the one to get happy over the smallest of things, especially, birthday parties.

Walking and talking as they were on their way to meet Temari at a resturant where they would start to gather things together that are planned for gaara's surprise party ha and they are both glad they were chosen to help with the party.

{to Naruto}

21 year old Ninja, was on his way to meet up with the others, after he had been talking to shikamaru who was right beside him dazing off, like he normally does in his own time.

"H-hey Shikamaru--so what are we supposed to do again, eh-heh…" the blonde haired ninja bringing his left hand behind his head rubbing it, as those words came out. Shikamaru on the other hand had gotten use to the knuckle-head ninja after so many times of going on missions together, and hanging with him if he had nothing else to do.

"sigh,… Naruto, were supposed to I guess go to the ballroom and help the sand nin with a surprise birthday party for the Kazekage, you kno Gaara, jeez, and I'm surprised that you even became a Jonin in the first place…" Shikamaru shifting his gaze over to the blonde-haired ninja.

'some-sometimes his gaze is sorta scary I don't think that I'll get use to this, but yeah- now I remember we better get going."

Picking up his pace, the to Jonin walked faster to reach the ballroom, so they can get started with the BIG surprise for the one and only Gaara, (Kazekage)

Finally as they reached the destination, waiting their were the rest of the gang who had already started putting things up on the wall, from streamers, to table cloths, which were the a red and black, with a hint of white in the middle.

Streamers were hanging on walls, to the chandeliers that were so gorgeous, it would make anyone's eyes glisten with the shine of the lights.

"hiya…Naruto, Hey shikamaru, you ready to get started." Ino came walking towards them with a smile across her face, and a bunch of decorations bundled in her hands, without given the chance to speak she forced the decorations into their hands. "haha here ya go, well get to it, your not here to sit around and doddle haha, well gotta go got things to finish up and things to do,… have fun you to hehe." with that she was already across the room towards the stage that Temari was standing on holding a clipboard against her chest, leaving the young Jonin to themselves, with a speachless expression.

"……OOOOOO-kay, well ready Shikamaru, like Ino said let's not doddle."

"sigh whatever."

And so finally they started putting things up.

"Allllllright it's break time go ahead and go out for lunch but be back within 45 minutes got it." Temari spoke looking at the clock on the wall towards her left, close to where Kiba was standing on a chair.

They all nodded and left to go find a place to eat before going back to help finish up or at least finish half of the task for Gaara's BIG birthday bash.

{to Temari and Kankuro}

"so what do you think so far Temari… does it look good?." Kankuro asked sitting on a chair near by, taking a break until they got back from their lunch break.

She only replied with a sigh, "it's looking great I'm very proud, I hope Gaara will like this, even if he doesn't say anything, it doesn't matter her should just at least say thanks, or something in that area."

Kankuro only nodded.

'yeah, but we know Gaara will anyway he's somewhat change since he battle Naruto Uzamaki awhile back…wonder what that knuckle-heads up to."

After that they left to get their own lunch and bring it back here,

{with the jonin and (sonin(1)…}

Naruto was just purchasing a to-go box of spicy ramen and was on his way back to the rest of the gang back at the ballroom.

"N-naruto." Hinata said walking up behind naruto carrying a lunch that looked home-made.

Naruto turned around and saw Hinata standing their, "Hey Hinata, hows it going."

She blushed and smiled. "I'm good, so are heading back as w-well, if you are may I walk with you, since, w-were going to the same place anyways."

By then Naruto had closed his eyes rubbing the back of his head with one of his hands, but quickly opened his eyes bringing his hand down with him.

"of course the more the merrier haha, so how life been for ya, Hinata-chan."

By now she was slightly blushing and re-directing her eyes away from Naruto.

"it's been great, hehheh, what about you N-naruto, are you still wanting to be H-Hokage."

"yeah, I'm not giving up just yet, I'm gonna be the best ninja, and make It to the top and take Grandma Tsunade's place as Hokage, BELIEVE IT."

By then Hinata was smiling with her right hand carrying her home-made bento', and her left hovering over her cute pink lips, letting a small giggle to slip-out.

'Naruto, I know you'll be Hokage, I believe in you, and you…you called me Hinata-chan, I like it it's cute, hehe as longs as you say it that's enough for me ANY day, heh.'

Finally it sullenly became quiet, as they approached the ballroom.

And our number one, Hyperactive, knuckle-head, didn't like the silence so he was the one to break it.

"HEY, why is it so quite in here. It's like someone died, or somebody was caught doing something, jeez, what's wrong with you people."

Everyone turned towards the blonde head ninja, as if he was knocked over the head with something. "Naaaruto were not quiet because someone died…jeez, and to think, that you became a jonin, without them thinking that your ditsy or something." a young blonde haired woman said. Finally helping break the silence.

"that hurts Ino, that REALLY hurts, you didn't have to get snotty, jeez I thought you grew out of that already."

Now Ino had a small vein popping out of her head, from those words that came out, like a small bug, flying around you, trying to annoy you, or just REALLY bug you.

"somethings, can still linger doesn't mean that their going to be gone forever….NARUTO." Ino said finishing it off with a glare towards Naruto to remember that. She can still have her times where she can still hurt him in more ways than 1.

Naruto took that sign and backed off not wanting to get Ino angry, to a point of PURE pain.

"anyway, so how much more do we have left before we are finished decorating the ball room, Temari."

"were pretty much done, theirs just a couple more finishing touches, than were done, basically, than we will come here a half hour before Gaara gets here." answering. Everyone heard and all nodded their head finishing what was left of their lunch and through the rest into the nearest garbage can.

'Though I thought it was a dream, wasn't actually a dream, it was a living nightmare, that I created on my own….I can't think, I can't breath, it has me in a strong-hold, that I can't get out of.'

'I'm sooooo nervous to see Gaara-kun, I bet he will be surprised when he sees me, heehee.' hinoki thought as she was walking back with Temari who went to get fresh air from the party planning that was going on in the ballroom, until….

"H-Hey Temari-chan what do you think, what do you think, Gaara-Kun will think of me in the new out fit we got the other day new outfit?." hanon said with a questionably confusing, cute, look on her face.

Temari who was in lala land answered back.

"why you say that, hanon-chan, you already know what he's gonna say, he's always had this admiration for you, yet he's been wanting to see you for so long, so I know EXACTLY what he's gonna say, hehe, you really wanna know, Hinoki-Chan?." teasing Hinoki with her last remark of the day (if you can imagine it being so, LOL o)

Putting her hands to her chest, looking very urgently at Temari with such curiosity that she couldn't make any other expressions. (LOL)

"YES, YES Temari-Chan I do, I really do…I mean I have an idea, but I want you to tell me."

Temari begans to smirk as she than looks at Hinoki with such intent

"alright, alright….about 3 years ago when My little brother was 18 he was visiting Konoha…before you moved and was sitting on a bench…."

{FLASHBACK}

-3 years ago-

Gaara was sitting on a bench in the park in konoha that was called Shippo no Hana{moon of the flower or just moon flower, heehee}

And was relaxing when he heard a beautiful voice that he had remember when he was young, a girl that he saved from being bullied from-her name he remember quite well.

"are you…okay.." young gaara asked the girl with pretty blue hair faded into green with turquoise eyes that shown like that of a angel from the heavens

"y-yes, thank you…your gaara-kun, right?." curiosity and knowledge running through her like the wind.

He looks at her head down shy before shooting right back up

"um…would-would you be my friend?!.' he asked; he was afraid of what she would say and was about to turn back when she spoke with a smile as wide as it could go.

"yes….I would love to…my name is Hinoki, nice to meet you gaara, heehee."

-back to the 1st flashback^^-

As he was sitting up he had a piece of a BIG paper and lots of paints and started to paint the girl from head-to-toe, grass-to scenery…everything was going into the painting, once he was done he left the village with a smile on his face.

-back to the present-

"so you see." Temari began to finish; "he's been waiting to see you ever since, haha…that brother of mine, can't stop thinking of you and only you, that painting is still in his room on a stand, haha…so that's how I know that he will be surprised and happy to see you all in one at his birthday, tonight, haha, I can't wait to see his expression…I'm going to take a picture of it to, heehee, with kakuro's help, of course…you excited for it, Hi-No-Ki, haha."

She looks at her dear friend, when she did, she saw Hinoki blushing deep crimson, it was soooo red, you could swear that she was dieing of heat.

"Y…..Yes…..very…haha….I should go get ready….."

And so she did, taking off faster than anything to her house and getting dressed make-up and all.

-at the ballroom-

Everyone was waiting for gaara to come so they can shout "Surprise." when finally Hinoki came walking in rushing and running up to the stage standing like they told her to so she can just stand and smile widely at him, and everyone to see his expression on both occasions, heehee, not that much later [5 minutes to be exact] gaara came in with his best friend Naruto Uzumaki, who was grinning widely and theeeeeeen…

"SURPRISE…HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAARA." everyone shouted to him the lights came on, confetti and streamers and balloons came fallen from the ceiling. Gaara who was just standing their surprise out of his mind looked straight ahead, and their….he saw her, the girl, his dear friend and the girl he had a crush on, and has fallen deeply in love with.

"Happy Birthday Gaara, heehee." the girl with bluish green hair and eyes color of rain, smiling widely at him.

He didn't hesitate and walked over to her quickly and smiled hugging her, she smiled and hugged him back

"Thank You…Hinoki, I have to confess something you…in front of people here that are watching, eto….will you be my girlfriend, Hinoki!." she started to blush and giggled hugging him tightly

"Of Course, I would love to, Gaara, it would make me VERY happy to be your girlfriend, heehee.'

She smiled and released her hug and looked at him with eyes filled with over flowing joy, everyone just smiled in aaaw and sharted to cheer and clap, before the guys quickly came and grabbed him from Hinoki, she wasn't the only one who was shocked in surprise, he was too. And before you knew it, Hinoki was grabbed and taking over to the girls and they were squealing and cheering for her and Gaara getting together

"WAY TO GO, HINOKI-SAMA!, EEEEEEHEE."

Everyone over-heard it and looked over to the girls as if they just said something more shocking then anything

"Hinoki-Sama???…what's going on girls…." Choji and other guys said as they were coming over, confused out of their minds

At this point Hinoki decided it was time for her to tell them who she was (gaara already knows about it so, haha).

As she moved away from the girls she walked up the stairs to the stage and told them

"my name is Hinoki Itsuka of the Itsuka clan that was known for a

Princess of the Stars in that sense, that is me, I Hinoki, am the Princess of the Star, everyone in my clan knew about it, even Gaara, heehee….and THAT, is my real identity…phew."

After that she walked off the stage and blushed a pink before smiling at everyone including Gaara, who was looking at her back before walking up to her and quickly walking outside on the patio, standing beside her, he began to speak

"Hinoki, I always knew that you were special, and that's not the whole reason I fell in love with you…it was because of our friendship, your smile, your personality that I fell for."

Suddenly she turned to him and kissed him wrapping her arms around his neck, standing on her tip-toes, his eyes went wide before, closing them quickly and finally and deepening the kiss, after a couple of minutes they broke off and she smiled at him. "I already knew that, my dear Gaara, heehee….because that is the same way with me to, about you."
