The fair part 1

And day before the fair

Ok now what should I wear? Hmmm…' Hinata thought to herself. Ummmmm? Rggggg! Why can't I find something to wear? I want to look good for Gaara so why can't I find something??? Rggggg!'

Hinata was getting more and more frustrated as she looked through her clothes. She found a lot of stuff that was either to fancy and hello! It's only a fair, she wasn't going in like a kimono that would be waaaayyyy to fancy, but the outfit she always wore on her ninja missions wasn't fancy enough.

Rgggggggg!!!! Ok how 'bout I go look in my old clothes maybe I'll find something that will fit and look not too nice, but nice enough.' As she was heading upstairs she stopped to look at Hanabi who was trying to get Neji to help her clean her tools. Hinata smiled to herself glad that at least her father didn't look down on Hanabi. She continued to make her way upstairs.

Ok let's see…' Hinata looked at the boxes- it wasn't too hard to find her old clothes, after all, she was the one who had to organize the attic. 'Ah, here they are…' Hinata looked through the boxes, and after a few minutes "OMG this is perfect!!! Yes, yes, yes!!!!"

The day of the fair

"Hinata are you going to the fair too?" her father asked her.

"H...hai father." Her father frowned that she had stuttered but he had noticed that it had been happening less and less.

"Neji are you ready?" "Hai uncle," Neji said as he appeared from the doorway. "Good, have fun. And Hinata?"

"Hai?"

"Don't do anything to disgrace the family. If I hear that you did something stupid then your punishments will be worst then any self embarrassment. Understand?"

"Hai father," Hinata said with a sad look on her face. She had had a slight hope that her father was going to say something like "Be good," or, "Don't get into any trouble, I wouldn't want you to get hurt," or even, "Watch out for the crowds and don't get lost." But no, he didn't want her to disgrace the clan. She sighed as she walked out the door. She had long been used to her father not giving her praise but she still had hoped that maybe someday he will. Oh who am I kidding, my father will always see me as a disappointment.' Hinata thought glumly.

When they were outside Neji turned to look at Hinata "Hinata-sama, are you going alone or are you going with your team?" Neji asked his cousin.

Hinata sighed, "Neji-niisan who many times have I told you to call me Hinata, I don't want to sound all important I just want to be Hinata."

Neji nodded at this.

"And for your information someone has asked me to go the fair with them."

Neji looked at her, So someone asked her. Is it the same person who got her to stop stuttering? But who would want to go with her unless, it's Kiba or Shino, but they're her team mates and even they know that she is not strong. So there's no reason to ask her. She's useless and will never be a strong shinobi so why? Hmmm….' "Hinata-sa-chan?" Neji said, "Who asked you to the fair?"

"I'm sorry Neji-niisan, but I do not wish to answer that question," Hinata said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"All right," Neji said DARN IT! I wanted to know who would want to take her! I mean she not strong so why would they take her?'

They got to the fair a little early and Neji went off to find TenTen. "Gaara where are you?" Hinata murmured under her breath.

"Were you looking for me Hinata-chan?" Hinata jumped at the sound of his voice. "Gaara!!!" Hinata exclaimed as she turned around and gave him a hug. Just before she was able to reach him, his sand made her get pushed back. "Oh!" Hinata said with a sad tone in her voice and a frown on her face.

"Sorry," he said, "Here let me." And he walked forward and gave her a tight hug. Her face went bright red, and he smirked at her but that only made her blush harder. "So what do you want to do Hinata-chan?" Gaara asked with a slight smile/smirk. "Oh! Ummm…" Hinata paused,

What do I say? I don't want to offend him he's been so nice to me.' "What ever you want to do is fine with me Gaara-kun." Gaara half frowned, "don't worry about me, just tell me what you want to do." He said in that's-that tone.

"Ummmm ok why don't we go ……shoot ducks?" Gaara smile/smirked at her 'shoot ducks??? She's a howl'. "That's great Hinata-chan."

Hinata turned her head down and played with her fingers.

"Aten-Attention" Tsunade's voice rang over the loud speaker. "Shizune in this thing on? Piece of shit."

Hinata looked at Gaara a little worried about what he was thinking but his face remained emotionless.

"Yes it's on and please don't swear into the mic. Little kids could be listening." You could hear Shizune's voice in the background. "Attention! Ok, meet at the center where you see that giant leaf/sand village symbols thing." You could hear the mic turn off and then on again. "Thank you." You heard Shizune in a failing attempt to pretend to be Tsunade.

"Well I guess going to shoot the ducks will have to wait. Right, Hinata-chan?" "Hai, Gaara-kun, I don't want to her to be mad." Hinata replied. "But, um, Gaara, if you planned this together, shouldn't you have known to be there already?" she then asked with a curious tone.

Gaara replied nonchalantly, "I couldn't be bothered." Hinata whimpered. 'Oh great! Way to go Gaara. Perfect way to get her pissed off, don't show up where you're supposed to go. That won't make her mad at all...' Hinata thought a little angry and a little scared.

As they were walking a cross the fair they saw Kiba and Shino trying to get Kurenai to let them skip the meeting. "Awww, come on let's go play the games or ride on the rollercoaster!! Please!!!" Kiba was begging his sensei.

"NO KIBA, for the last time we are not skipping the meeting." Kurenai said with a mad frown on her face. "Shino you want to skip right??" Kiba looked like a puppy dog begging for schnapps.

Hinata giggled. "It would be less work to just go to the meeting, so why don't you just let it be?" Shino said with in bored voice. "Noooooo!!! FINE!" Kiba finally gave in. "Stupid, annoying meeting. This thing is for us!!! Not so we would have to go to another meeting!!!!!"

Hinata giggled again. "Hinata?" Kiba said, obviously surprised.

He turned around.

The second he did he got this angry expression. Hinata gulped. 'Oh no, oh no, oh no!!!! Crap, crap, crap!!! Shit!!!' She looked nervously at Gaara as Shino and Kurenai-sensei turned around. Her eyes darted back and forth from Gaara to Kiba, back down to her hands, up to Kurenai, across to Shino, back to Gaara and then down to her hands. 'SHIT!!!'

Kurenai walked over and gave Hinata a hug. "Hey, Hinata, glad you could came to the fair. Are any other members of the family around? "H…Hai, Neji is walking around with TenTen and I think that Hanabi snuck away from father to go ask Konahamaru."

The conversation ended as the girls looked up to see Kiba, Shino and Gaara in a glaring match. "Konichiwa, Kiba, Shino. "Konichiwa Hinata." Kiba said. Shino just nodded. "Ummmm, I think that we should be going. W...we don't want Ho..Hokage-sama to be angry." Kiba and Shino paused to think. Suddenly Kiba was up and running yelling "Come on Shino, Hinata, sensei!!!!!!! Hurry up!!!!" Hinata noticed he didn't bother to say Gaara's name. Kiba ran back, "by the way Gaara-sama, I'm not going to let this by unnoticed. We're going to talk to you later." His expression never changed. Hinata looked down and with wide eyes. 'Fuck!!! I don't want them to talk to Gaara!!!! This is soooooo not good. In fact this is worse then bad this is hor-"

She was interrupted in her thoughts.

"Hinata-chan we'd best be going now."

"Oh right. Well then, let's go."

As they got closer and closer to the stage, they saw Tsunade on the stage with a microphone and a HUGE paper behind her that said 'The one and only Konaha… concert for important people. (The important people are singing)' Hinata glared (yes glared) at the paper in shock. "Oh, she wouldn't!!"
