Well I finally got it up! I apologize that it's short, I tend to do that at times. But review anyways~
Hinata POV
We held each other tightly in front of the Village Hidden in the Sand gates. I had never thought Gaara would be comfortable showing affection so openly, but I was wrong.
Once we finally left his bedroom after his proposal, we announced our engagement to a very excited Temari and Kankuro. They were even nice enough to send word to the Hokage for us, who then allowed me to stay a few weeks longer to enjoy time with my new fiancée.
I nearly fainted when Gaara told me we were to announce our engagement to the whole village though, I wasn't sure I could handle so much attention!
He squeezed my hand firmly as we walked unto the podium. "Don't worry." He said while giving me a slight smile. I gazed at him and couldn't help but admire his cool composure.
Sighing, I replied, "You're right…As long as I am with you, I know I'll be fine."
He showed his true smile; pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I was so caught up in his passion that I didn't even notice we were in front of the whole village until I heard their cheers of encouragement.
I froze and buried my face in Gaara's shoulder; suddenly feeling like I could faint.
Oh my gosh…The whole village..-
Gaara interrupted my thoughts as he cupped my cheek and finished the kiss.
I buried my face in his neck now, way too embarrassed now to even look up at him.
The Kazekage calmly announced the engagement that most of the village knew by now, thanks to Kankuro.
He answered some questions like: Would he be leaving the village? When was the wedding? Where would the wedding be held?
We had discussed all this before and decided I would go back to Konoha in two weeks with Temari, the Chunnin exams were to begin then. He would follow a week later, since he had to anyways, and we would announce our engagement formally to my family then. As for the wedding, he didn't want it to be any longer than a month away, because he didn't want to live apart for very long, but I thought we should discuss it with our family's first. And the wedding would be held in Suna; it would be more convenient since he was the Kazekage.
After they were satisfied and everyone gave their congratulations, we were free to be together.
The days after that flew by so fast, and now it was time for me and Temari to depart for the Leaf village.
"It'll only be a week…" I whispered into Gaara's shoulder, trying to convince him (and maybe myself) that it would go by fast. He squeezed my waist a little tighter. I was happy to learn that Gaara was just as clingy as me, though he pretended not to be.
He looked at me with a light green eye, worry and love mixed within. "Promise?"
Confused, I stared at him. "Promise…w-what?"
He held my gaze, and I saw fear flash through his eyes.
He's…worried I'll find someone else? Oh…He must have heard of my old crush.
I smiled and shook my head at him. "Gaara…I…Promise I'll always be yours. You have nothing to worry about….That's all in the past."
He studied my face for a moment, and then broke into a grin. "Show me."
I giggled and kissed him lightly on his bottom lip.
Gaara frowned, obviously not liking being teased, and pulled me in roughly for a deep kiss. I gripped his shoulders tightly, trying not to lose control as I always did when he kissed me like this. He moaned "angrily" as I accidentally brushed his erection with my thigh.
A few nights after we told Temari and Kankuro of our engagement, they had decided that we should wait till our wedding night to…love…each other again. I was too embarrassed to answer them at the time, and so Gaara agreed to make them happy, thinking we would get away with it anyways.
He was wrong.
Temari forced me to sleep in her room and Kankuro bunked with Gaara every night. Then, either one of them were always around during the day, so we never had an opportunity.
So now we were both sexually frustrated, and any little touch was like fire now.
"HEY YOU TWO! Break it up! We need to get going!" Temari yelled from 20 feet outside the gate.
Gaara growled softly and said, "I love you….And we will find a place away from my crazy sister when I get to Konoha."
I laughed as he glared at her and slowly released me.
"I love you too, Gaara."
As I walked away from Suna, I felt warm sand caress my cheek.
The Hidden Leaf Village.
Naruto POV
"Good job Naruto! You just earned yourself some time off."
I groaned as she tried to make me stay home and "relax" again.
"What? Granny Tsunade, I don't want any time off! Give me another mission, I have plenty of time."
Glaring at me in annoyance she answered, "You should be grateful to have time to yourself! There is plent-"
She door opened and Shizune walked in, "Lady Tsunade a scroll from The Sand village just came! It looks like Hinata will be returning tomorrow."
I stiffened and let my face fall blank, trying to hide the emotions from Grandma.
Unfortunately she saw right through me.
"Uhh…You know what, on second thought, I think I have a few missions right here for you! Let me just find them…" She hurriedly looked though the papers on her desk, but I was already out the door.
"Nevermind, I think I'll take that vacation now!" I ran out before she could call me back.
"Um..What was that about?" Shizune asked while watching Naruto practically race home.
The Hokage just sighed.
