Graduation, A new Beginning
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
.
At last, it's graduation day. Each student was clad in white. Their last day in high school, very nostalgic. Shikamaru Nara was the 1st honor, Uchiha Sasuke was 2nd, Neji Hyuuga was 3rd, Mari Yukumo 4th, Gaara Subaku 5th, Sakura Haruno 6th, Rock Lee 7th, Tenten 8th, Hinata Hyuuga 9th and Uzumaki Naruto 10th (surprisingly) were the top 10 honors of the school for the high school graduates. You might be wondering why they came all in one section, they belong to an elite section. It's more trained and given more attention than any other sections in their school. The top 10 were first to be mentioned. Mari was followed by Gaara and they were given medals. Mr. Subaku was there. He cancelled all his business meetings. A smile crept to his face as he saw his son up stage. All this time, he seemed to give less attention to him. But the truth is, he's just afraid. He really loved his youngest son. He loved Gaara but doesn't show this. Mari's mom was also there but his dad wasn't. Her dad and Grandfather will be at the rest house later. They all agreed to go there, of course, to have some of the business talks as well. They all did the picture taking and all the yada, yada.
.
There was a big party because Mari, Gaara and also Deidara will be celebrating it. Deidara walked over to her. "Hey Mari, un." She smiled, "Hey." And they did a little talk. Gaara was with his dad, being introduced to Mari's grandfather. They seemed to get along well too. Then Mr. Subaku and Grandfather resumed to their business talk. Then the party began. At the middle of it, Mari introduced Gaara to her mother. "Mom, this is Gaara. He's my boyfriend," she told her. Her mom smiled, "This is the real thing, isn't it?" she asked. They both nodded. "I love you daughter very much. I promise I'll take care of her," he said. "Okay then, welcome to the family once again. Please call me Mom," she said. His eyes widened, "Mom?" he asked. "Yes, Gaara?"She patted his head. He smiled, "Okay Mom." Mari tugged her mom's arm, "I want to introduce him to father & Grand pa and he also wants me to introduce to his father," she said. "Okay sweetie," her mom said. They came to the room where the men were talking. Mom guided them. She walked in first until they heard her grand pa said, "Let them in." Mom came out and they went in. They were both nervous. "Uhm… ," she started. "What is it?" her grandfather smiled. Their fathers were just looking at them. "Meet Gaara. He's my boyfriend," she said without stuttering. Gaara bowed a little. "Hmm," Mari's father said, "How are you?" "I'm very fine, I hope the same goes to you," he answered. "Very well, I've heard you were my daughter's bestfriend. I assume that you can take care of her. She's my only child." "Dad, he loves me," Mari said. "I accept you. Please take care of her," he said. Gaara, nodded a "Thank you very much sir." Her grandfather just laughed, "Oh, I guess our little Mari is already a young woman. I remember the time that she's still young and acts boyishly," laughed the old man. Her father laughed, "I guess that's it." Mari just blushed in embarrassment. Gaara turned to his father. "Yes my son?" Mr. Subaku asked. "This is Mari, the girl I loved," he said. "It's fine with me," his father said, "I welcome her into the family." Mari and Gaara looked at each other and smiled. "Arigatou," they both bowed and exited the room.
"Seemed our alliance has strengthened," Grand pa said. "I guess so," Mr. Subaku agreed. Father just chuckled and they toast their wine glasses together.

They walked through the garden, just the two of them, holding hands. "Gaara, what would you take up in college?" she asked. "I don't know yet," he answered. "But, do you have any course you like?" He looked at her, "No." She sweatdropped. "How about you?" he asked. "I want to be a doctor just like Aunt Tsunade," she answered. "I guess father wants me to take up business. He wants me to run the company," he said. "So, you'll be the next Kazekage?" He looked at her, "Hn." "Well, my grand pa is the Hokage; I think it can make you very tired." She said. "It's okay," he said, "I know you'll be there for me." She smiled, "Good analysis. You'll be good as the Kazekage," she told him. He chuckled and hugged her close. "I love you Mari," he cooed. "I love you too, Gaara," she said. She turned to him, "Do not worry, we belong to each other." He smiled and kissed her. "Forever," he agreed.
