Understaning Part Two.

Disclaimer: I still don't own the characters.

Hinata smiled lightly to herself as she listened to Sakura rattle on about her and Naruto's up coming wedding. It was to be in three weeks and still had some loose ends.

"Hina-chan?"

Lavendar eyes blinked, "Huh?"

The pinkette stepped in front of the bewildered bluenette, "What's up with you, you're acting strange."

The teen's cheeks turned pink, "Sorry, Sakura-chan. Now, what were you saying."

The Hokage's fiance giggled and patted the blushing girls arm, "I was asking who are you bring as your date."

Pink turned red, "N-no one..."

Sakura playfully nudged Hinata, "You know Kiba-kun was thinking about asking you, I've seen Sasuke-kun looking at you AND Ino says Shika-kun's been talking about you too."

A platnium blonde haired teen appeared, clinging to the arm of an attractive, yet slightly overweight man. "Goodness Hina-chan, you have as many guys pawing over you as Sasuke does."

Chouji blinked, "Don't you mean girls?"

Ino playfully bumped her boyfriend with her hip, "No I mean guys."

Sakura giggled, "Yeah, I'm glad Naruto didn't jump onto that bandwagon."

Hinata smiled behind her hand, "Sakura-chan, you know Naruto would never do that to you."

Sea foam green eyes reflexted sadness, "Are you sure you don't mind Hinata. You liked him for so long..."

The girl in question nodded and smiled at one of her friends, she placed her left hand in there air and her right on her heart, "I promise you Sakura Haruno that I, Hinata Hyuuga, is not bothered by the matrimony of yourself and Naruto Uzimaki."

"Oh, Hina-chan." But the girl's mind was already wandering, picturing beautiful amber eyes. Zetsu, he was a strange person, but so beautiful. Hinata felt her cheeks tingl with a blush. "Oooo someone's blushing!!"

She blinked and saw a blonde and pinkette in front of her face, "N-no!"

Ino grinned, "Oh come on, who are you thinking about?"

"No one..."

Sakura stared at her, "Hinata..."Lavendar eyes got a puppy look to them and the medic nin sighed, "Fine, but you'll tell us sometime."

"Sakura, Ino, leave little Hina alone!!"

"Temari!!" The two yelped and spun around, Chouji just stood there munching on the dried bananas his girlfriend was making him eat instead of BBQ chips.

"When did you get here!!" Sakura squealed and hugged her friend.

"Just now and I saw you two terrorizing litte Hina."

"Hey Temari-nee."

The sandy haired older nin walked over and hugged the peite bluenette, "How's my favorite little kunoichi doing?"

"Fine."

"Better then fine it seems our Hina-chan has a crush."

"Oh leave her alone, it's her business."

"But..."

Temari turned and crossed her arms at them, "Sakura I'm taking little Hina to lunch, go play with your faince, Ino go take Chouji to a BBQ, that boy needs to eat."

Ino leaned over and kissed her boyfriend, playfully pinching his chubby cheek, "I like my men plushy. Though chips aren't healthy, but I give him more than enough dessert."

Chouji's face turned red at what his girl was implying and Sakura looked at Ino, "Go do what you do Ino-pig!"

Ino rolled her eyes and linked her long fingers with her boyfriends strong ones."Come on Chouji." The boar and the butterfly turned and headed off to the Korean BBQ. Sakura hugged Hinata and Temari and headed toward her's soon to be husbands office.

Once the girls were out of sight Hinata turned to Temari and smiled, "Thank you."

"No promblem, us royalty have to stick together."

Hinata always blushed whenever someone refered to her title as Hyuuga heir, something she had to fight tooth and nail to keep. The Sand Sibs had been part of the reason she had built up her skill and confidence to such a high level, in Suna is were she discovered her ablity to relate to people at a powerful level, somehow her Byakugan had given her the power to see into people memories, the ones they locked away so tightly. She used that power to help in the growth of Gaara.

"Temari there you are!!"

"Oh hey Kankuro, what's up?"

Since the trio were in Kohna on personal business the puppet boy didn't wear his usual make up and cat costume, just black slacks and a black fishnet shirt, which showed off his broad shoulders and well toned stomach very well. The redheaded Kaze followed behind, clad in his normal red cloak and black pants.

Hinata waved at the two and flashed a small smile at them, "Hey."

Kankuro grinned wolfishly and winked, making Hinata roll her eyes, her facing flaming red. "No time for flirting now Hina, our neechan's boyfriend is looking for her."

Temari's cheeks tinted a very light shade of pink, "I said I was taking little Hina to lunch though..."

"Oh go ahead, I'm not hungry anyway.'"

Kankuro flung his arm around Hinata, making her mock glare at him, "Me and Gaara will take her to lunch."

Temari turned and looked at her redheaded brother, "Is that good with you?"

Gaara nodded and walked over to the other side of Hinata and gave her a small smirk, "Fine by me."

"Good with you little Hina?"

"Yeah. Give Neji-nii a peck on the cheek for me."

Temari blushed, turned around, and headed off to see Neji Hyuuga, the genius of the Hyuuga Clan. Kankuro looked down at Hinata, "Come on now, why don't we go to-"

"No." Hinata blinked a Gaara and tilted her head, "Kankuro heard about the restraunt Jiraya opened, 'Peepers' and has been blathering about it continusly."

A frown marred the Hyuuga heir's pale face, "Kankuro, that is disgusting!"

"But-"

"Anygirl who would sink so low-"

"But-"

"No buts!" Lavendar eye narrowed in a reprimanding way. "Kankuro if I ever hear about you eating in any place like that I will-"

"FINE! Honestly you are as bad as Temari." Kankuro glared at his brother, "I blame you."

Aqua colored eyes laughed and Gaara smirked. "Where would you perfer to go?"

"Suck up." Kankuro rolled his his violet eyes.

"There's a nice little tea sh-"

"Oh no!! We are not going to a tea shop!!! Gaara I refuse to lower my manliness!!" Seeing the look he received from the two he sighed, "Fine, were is this oh so wonderful teashop?"

Hinata's face lit up and she hugged Kankuro, "This way!! Follow me!!" She grabbed the two by the wrist and didn't see the small blush on the Kaze of Suna's face as she drug him and his brother towards Kohna's new tea shop. Gone was the days of the shy stuttering 12 year old Hinata, she was now a strong woman, the mature age of 18.
