White flowers flew into the air and someone screamed "BONZAI!!". It was over.
Temari, Kankuro, Hizashi, Hanabi, and Hinata's mother all stood, dressed in fomral apparel, as Kohna and Sunagakure stood together to watch the lovely new couple decend the stairs of the alter. Gaara felt Hanabi run into the back of him and he turned around, shock filling his eyes.
She smiled and gave him a folded water lily made of rice paper. She stood there for a moment when he swept down and hugged her. "Good luck on your mission, Hanabi-chan." He patted her on the head and she squealed. He smiled and stood up as Hinata smiled at him. He flushed.
Temari snorted. "I don't know how many times she's going to do that and he'll turn bright red before it wears away."
"You're being mean!" Hanabi said, stomping on Kankuro's foot and stormed away.
"I didn't do anything!" Kankuro yelled after her as he held his foot. He heard Hizashi laugh and his eyes turned to him, evil pouring from them. "You got a problem old man?! EH?!"
"No, no, you do, however." He looked straight ahead as he decended the stairs after his daughter with his wife by his side.
"He's DEAD when I get my hands on him," Kankuro growled.
Temari tackled him and was holding him in a choke-hold again. She twisted.
Hinata smiled and cuddled up to Gaara as they walked towards a horse-drawn carriage he'd arranged for them. She smiled as he helped her up. She waved to her family as the carriage began to pull away and she finally sat back when they were out of sight. Hinata looked down at Gaara's hand and she touched his hand.
He twitched, but recovered and smiled at her.
"See? We made it, Gaa-kun."
"Yes, we did, Hina-chan."
"But your siblings..."
"Not to friendly... I know." He smiled. "They're just very pick who comes into my life is all. They wanted to test your nerves, see how long you'd be here with me. I'm glad you passed with such ease, Hina-chan."
Narrator: "and they lived happily--"
Gaara: must you say it?!
Narrator: It's a story, dummy!
Gaara: I know that!! But do you have to say "Happily ever after?!"
Hinata: o.o
Narrator: No, because you just did for me
Gaara: -curse-
Hinata: Bye-bye! -waving-
