-Love and War-

"Is that the Kazekage?" "Who is the pretty lady he is holding?" "Is that his girlfriend?" "My she's a pretty one." People of Suna murmured as Gaara and Kankuro make their way to the hospital. Gaara's eye twitches in annoyance he ignores and continues walking.

"Ah Gaara I can take Hinata if you want." Kankuro says with a goofy smile on his face and arms outstretched for Hinata. Gaara shook his head and glared at Kankuro who slowly lowers his arms and his smile fading away. He stomps his foot and pouts but quickly snaps his fingers and jogs back to Gaara who went ahead while he was busy pouting.

"Gaara you are Kazekage you should be in your office organizing papers! We are in a hard time right now and how would it seem to your people, that instead of organizing for battle you are carrying a beautiful lady!" Kankuro says with a worried face.

Gaara looks at Kankuro and sighs "Ok but I want to know when she wakes up and how she is doi-" he was interrupted as Kankuro snatches Hinata and walks away "Sure got it Gaara you can count on me!" Kankuro says with a smile. Gaara was left standing there alone, tumbleweed passes in front of him and his eye twitches. He walks away to his office wondering what Kankuro is up to.

-Love and War-

"Hey Matsuri the Kazekage is back I just sa-" The young man was quickly interrupted as Matsuri quickly stands up from her chair and slams her hands on the table.

"He's back! Why didn't you tell me? Never mind I'm going to see how he is doing." She makes her way to a lady to pay for her food with a huge smile on her face. Yay he's back I missed him so much Matsuri thought.

"Matsuri? Matsuri! MATSURI!" the young man yells as he is waving his hands in front of a daydreaming Matsuri. "Whaaaaa oh sorry Yao what is it? I'm in a hurry." she asks with a small blush. "Gaara has a girlfriend and she is mighty fine he was carrying her somewhere but she was very pretty. Uh wait Matsuri!" Yao watches as the young female ran. "Maybe I shouldn't have told her…." He shrugs and walks the opposite way.

-Love and War-

"Gaahhh this is soo boring when is she going to wake up?" Kankuro is leaning on the door watching a sleeping Hinata. They are at the hospital and he has been there for what seemed to him like hours but was actually just thirty minutes. A nurse passes by and Kankuro quickly follows her. "She won't wake up for a while why won't I find a love of myself too."

-Love and War-

Hinata slowly opens her eyes and blinks she stares at the white ceiling. She turns her head there is an empty hospital bed next to her. The room is filled with light from the setting sun she sits up and looks out the windows. Idiot now they think you're weak that I can't handle myself I've worked too hard. Don't cry! Hinata balls up her hands and shakes her head.

Ther was a loud slap and some cursing Hinata turns towards the door to see Kankuro with a bright red hand shaped mark on his right check. She tries to keep from laughing. "Girls are so confusing ah! Don't laugh it hurts." He pouts and sits on a chair by her bed. "Hey since your awake do you want a tour around Suna? Or do you want to rest some more?"

"Uh I would love a tour of Suna I feel fine."Hinata smiles.

"Great lets go we must see the wonderful things of Suna!" Kankuro smiles and leads Hinata out of the hospital. I'll show her all the awesome things Gaara has done… that is going to be hard. But Gaara likes her…I think. Aaaah well I need to show Hinata how awesome Gaara is and they can fall in love…or maybe I shouldn't interfere…Nonsense that's silly Gaara looks up to me I cannot disappoint him!

Hinata looks up to Kankuro who is making weird faces. He is so weird Hinata thought.

-Love and War-

Gaara is sitting at his desk looking over papers he hears a knock and looks up to see Matsuri. He nods and gets back to his papers.

"Gaara you're back! I want to show you how my techniques I feel that I improved greatly they won't know what hit them when I go into battle!" Matsuri smiles where is that girl Yao was talking about…gah he was probably just lying. Matsuri sighs in relief.

"Matsuri?" Matsuri looks at Gaara and blushes.

"Ah I'm sorry I didn't hear what you said!"

"Hn we can train tomorrow I want you to meet someone she's from Konoha."

"uh she?" Matsuri blinks.

"Yes she is a strong shinobi and would fight by Suna in battle." Gaara says scribbling on a few papers.

"oh ok uh."

"I will see you tomorrow."

"ok.." Matsuri slowly walks out of the room. Who is this strong shinobi from Konoha I can't let her steal Gaara from me! It seems that I have a rival.

-Love and War-

"And this is the tree where Gaara saved a little girl's cat she was so happy." Kankuro says while his arm is over his heart. What will I do if she finds out that these stories aren't true aaahhh she won't find out this is all for my little brother.

"uh that is very nice Gaara is such a kind person." Hinata says looking up at the tree.

"Of course he is now this is where he helped a old man cross the street." He says pointing to a street.

Hinata nods she watches as Kankuro continues talking. Mmm maybe I can go walk by myself it wouldn't hurt. Hinata sneaks away from Kankuro who is busy rambling on.
