"BIG GROWN UP"

By Gaahina chan

Chapter 3

"Today the konoha ninjas will arrive for the festival, Kazekage sama"

"Hn. Just let them enter and put them in a comfortable place"

"Understood. Please excuse me" the lady quietly exited the Kazekage's office.

Ever since Gaara told Hinata about the wedding she tried to avoid him, but it was only hurting him. He did want to marry Hinata, that's why he didn't say anything, but when Hinata said those things to Gaara, he felt heartbroken and tried to move the day of the wedding for Hinata to think more about the situation. The government decided to make the wedding when Hinata turned into 18, because of Hyuuga rules.

"But Hinata's birthday is in 2 months…" Gaara thought sadly.

"Maybe I will stay here hopeless." He said frowning then he glanced at his hands in his desk. "Then maybe Hinata will accept, but she will be unhappy. There's no way for us to be happy" Gaara screamed as he punched his desk breaking it into two.

"What happened?!" A worried Temari appeared in the door.

"Nothing…I want to be alone" He said as he walk past Temari.

-o-

"Sasuke kun, have you seen Gaara?"

"Hmm no. Maybe doing paperwork." Sasuke said rolling in his bed.

Hinata just stared at the cold Uchiha, and then exited the room. "I don't know what is happening to me. First Sasuke, now the wedding, and they act like if nothing ever happened. I don't know what to do!" Hinata screamed in her mind but then she returned to reality when she bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry" Hinata said backing away.

"Hinata chan! Its you! I haven't seen you in a long time" Naruto said as he embraced a surprised Hinata.

"Na—Naruto- kuun" Hinata stuttered.

"Narutooo! Where are you?" A very anxious Sakura appeared from behind.

"Oh there you are. Oh! Hi Hinata chan!" A cheery Sakura said as she kissed Naruto's cheek.

"Ahh! Hi to both of you. Um-um I have to go. Nice to meet you! Bye!" A very flushed Hinata ran away from the happy couple.

"Why this happens to me?!!" Hinata said as she tried to hold the tears.

"I thought I was over Naruto. But then again, why did I let Sasuke do that?" Hinata said composing herself. "And Gaara san… When he tried to kiss me that night… I dreamt about that" Hinata thought, her heart escaping little beats.

"Hinata, it's about time for the festival to begin. Please put something pretty" Temari said as she passed by.

Hinata nodded.

-o-

She stared at herself in the mirror. She was beautiful. She wear a light purple tight kimono that showed her curves and beautiful figure. Small blue flowers decorating the kimono and a blue obi completing the outfit. Her hair was down and she put a clip of a blue flower on top of her right ear. She smiled brightly at herself.

"I wonder if he will notice" Hinata thought giggling.

-o-

"Oh my! Hinata! You look so beautiful. Gaara will be pleased" Temari said as she looked at a blushing Hinata.

"Thank you Temari chan" Hinata said warmly.

"Shall we go?" Sasuke said as he handed his arm, his face red.

"Yes" Hinata said blushing more.

-o-

As the festival beginning was announced, people watch the passing decorated cars with ninjas on top of them. One of the cars, with a big sand hand was decorated with white flowers and a pissed Gaara was on top of the hand. He was only glaring at the people below him. He didn't like crowds and his mind was pissed.

"This is boring" Thought Gaara until he saw a distant Hinata.

"She looks so beautiful" Gaara said as his eyes widened in surprise.

-o-

"So, what do you want to do now Hinata?" Sasuke asked as they walk through the stands of food and games.

"Emm I don't know Sasuke kun" Hinata said blushing.

"SASUKEEE KUN!" A loud scream was heard from behind.

"Please don't be what I'm thinking" A very hopeful Sasuke thought.

"WAAA, SASUKE KUN WE LOVE YOUU!" A group of girls were running towards Sasuke making him ran away.

"I'm sorry Hinata chan. I have to escape!" Sasuke said as he disappeared in the crowd.

"Okay…." Hinata said as she looked at the screaming girls chasing poor Sasuke.

"He must be pissed because of his fan girls. He didn't expect them to come" she thought as someone tapped her shoulder.

It was Gaara. He no longer had his Kazekage clothes, instead, he wear black pants and a white shirt with long black sleeves. His flame hair brushed by the slight night breeze.

"He looks so handsome" Hinata thought as she let her eyes travel his body.

"Hi Hinata. Want to get something? I might get a present for you" He said as he took her by the waist. At this, Hinata blushed furiously, her hands resting on her lap.

"Okay. That teddy bear looks cute" She said as she pointed at the stuffed animal in the wall of a stand.

It was a game of darts. Gaara, being a ninja, easily won the teddy bear for Hinata.

"Here"

"Thank you Gaara kun" She said as she hugged the teddy bear.

"Let's eat something" He said taking her hand this time. Slowly, Hinata intertwined her fingers with his. They felt the heat rising to their cheeks. Both blushing, the people around them started whispering something like "They look cute together". At this point, Hinata was resisting the urge to faint.

-o-

"Thank you for the ramen Gaara kun" Hinata said as she unclasped her chopsticks.

"It's okay Hinata"

Both ate silently, stealing quick glances at each other. When they were finished, Gaara paid the man of the stand and they walk away silently.

They headed out of the crowd. When they reached a park, Gaara decided to break the silence.

"So, Hinata. Have you been thinking about what I proposed to you?" Gaara said a little nervous.

"Um… Gaara kun, I'm not capable to decide that now. I'm sorry" she said as she lowered her head.

"Please, don't feel sorry. It's my fault, for not saying anything" He said as he turned his back to Hinata.

"Gaara…kun. I'm feeling confused. I can't understand my feelings" Hinata said slowly as she embraced his back.

"Hinata" he said as he turned around, meeting her gaze. "I have to say something…" he said nervously, his voice a little cracking.

"I…"

"Yes?" Hinata asked, her eyes so expectant, her hands shaking.

"I have been feeling… things. That only happen to appear when I'm with you" He said caressing her back.

"What kind of feelings?" Hinata said as she rested her head on his chest

"The feeling…of loving someone. I think I'm falling for you Hinata" He said embracing her tightly, afraid to let go.

"….You love me…" Hinata repeated her head lifting up.

"I can feel it, you heart beats so fast Gaara kun" she said as he touched his face.

Gaara couldn't take control of his impulses, he wanted her with him forever, he wanted to love her and protected forever. He wanted to create a family with her and die with her. So many thoughts passed through his brain, until Hinata said something.

"You are the first person that tells me that Gaara kun. I'm happy" She said as a smile spread across her face.

"Gaara kun… I thought I wasn't over Naruto. But, when you said those words to me, I felt very happy, I felt love. I think I can love you Gaara kun. The thing is, that I like you Gaara kun… I'm happy when you're around, and you understand me. I feel complete Gaara kun" She said as she took his hand.

"That's why, I want you to be the person that will give me my first kiss" Hinata said looking at his eyes.

Gaara only pull her closer and cupped her face. His eyes wandered in hers searching that feeling he waited for like an eternity. Her eyes shone brightly like the moon, full of life and love. As he lean forward, Hinata closed her eyes and they closed the distance between their lips.

Meeting her lips, Gaara softly embraced her protectively, his arms around her waist. Hinata let her arms wrap around his neck, her fingers playing with his hair. They let the instinct do the rest. Slowly they separated for breath. Gaara looked at her flushed face.

"You are so beautiful Hinata chan" He said as he prepared for another kiss.

This time Gaara pull her head closer and pressed his lips on hers. His other hand was on her back. Hinata rested her arms on his chest grabbing tightly his shirt. They kissed each other until Hinata gasped and Gaara let his tongue wander on her mouth. Hinata was surprised at first but then shyly tasted his mouth too. They stayed like that, their hands exploring more and more their bodies.

As the heat increased, Gaara couldn't take it anymore. He pulled apart, meeting an embarrassed Hinata.

"I think that we need to go Gaara kun" She said softly.

He nodded as he took her by the hand.
