With Temari
A loud groan escaped Temari's lips as she walked behind the escorter from the land of lightening this was going to be so boring one week with this guy she rather spend her time washing Kankuro's underpants and if you think about it is deadly job. She lowered her eyes at the shinobi infront she needed to have some fun but what could she do.
He turned around and looked at her."Sabuku-San we will have to wait here for a few the representive from Konoha will be here shortly."He said it codly even Gaara seemed to have more life then this guy a rock has more life then him. 'Konoha? Eh? I wonder who it could be.'She thought to her self trying to think of who it could be. A light tap hit her shoulder she turned around briskly and her eyes widened.
Shikamaru smiled at her with his lazy smiles."Missed me?"He asked. She just grunted but secretly she was happy even though she never expected him. Her day just got better and with that a smirk formed on her lips.
Back at Suna
Hinata hesitated as she walked through the long narrow hall. Today she was going to train with Gaara she couldn't fine the right words but she knew it was somewhere between frightened or nervous. She couldn't sleep all night thinking about why Gaara the Kazegake of the Sand village would train her why? Why? Why? Was all she could ask herself. Her tiredness was replacing her nervousness as all her thoughts drifted to her bed.
Hinata waited at the training for 5 minutes'I knew it why would he come?' She shook her head a little dissapointed but relieved at the same time. She didn't want him to think the konoha konochi were weak. 'Well i might as well just train..I guess.'
Hinata positioned herself in the hyuga stance and started hitting a pole with a little bit of chakra going out with every hit.

Gaara looked at the hyuga from above the tree he didn't think she would actually show. His eyes fixtured on her again he heard her pant heavily and seemed exhausted he could tell all her chakra was weakining but why was she still going? "201,202,203.."She was still going no matter how hurt she was or exhausted. Gaara was astonished.
Gaara wanted to know what kept her going he decided he would ask her. He jumped down from the tree and hinata startled and jumped looking at him. A blush graced her cheeks."G-Gaara-kun?" He didn't respond he only grabbed her hand and started examing it.
Her hands had cuts,bruises, and had specks of blood on it. Gaara poked it Hinata whinced.
"That hurt?"Gaara looked at her, her wrist still in his hands tightly.
Hinata shook her head as the pain grew. He poked it again two more times this time a moan escaped from Hinata. Gaara looked at her."If that hurt then why didn't you stop hitting the pole?"He wanted to know. Hinata tried to ease out of the Kazegake's grip but it only tightened."I-I want to be stronger so people won't think I'm weak."He stared at her with amusement.
"So you just want to get stronger but the problem is you will never get stronger if you don't change, your just a weakling."He said codly to her. Hinata felt like crying everyone thought she was weak even the Kazegake.'And there probably all right.'She thought.
"If you don't take critism as a away to improve and speak your mind instead of staying hidden, you will always stay the same and people will never acknowlege you,"Hinata could have sworn her heart skipped a beat did Gaara believe in her. A blush rose to her cheeks as she met with Gaara's spotless greeneyes.

"What the hell?!"Yuri screamed as she stared at the two out the window."Noway, Gaara-kun is actually talking with her."She ran a finger through her soft hair and sighed trying to calm her self down. Gaara was beside hinata not smiling but just showing her how to move sand. Yuri cntinued to stare till she heard a knock. "Who is it?"Kankuro just came in with a smirk on his face.
"God do you ever oh forget it."She shook her head and continued to stare with disbelief.

"Try again your not focusing on your chakra you need to let it infuse with the sand and will move."Hinata nodded and did as she was told she focused her chakra on the little pile of sand Gaara got out from his goured and tried to move it but nothing. She let out long sigh the 15th time and no luck she still couldn't move it. Gaara noticed her frustration and got up."You need to grow more chakra it's not something your supply can handle."He moved the sand as he showed hinata he shaped the and of a hand that helped her up and it jumped back in his gourged.
"Thank you Gaara-kun,"Hinata said gratefully. She patted her black capri's to take away all the dirt. "You need to rest and regenerate your chakra." Hinata stared at him."But Gaara-kun it's only 1:00."
"Yes but your chakra was deplemished,"He looked at her codly.
HInata nodded she did feel like all her strength was gone so she didn't feel like arguing so she just walked with Gaara into the tower.

Swiftly with ease the girl made her way across the dark hall. She checked to make noyone was insight and opened the door to the library. She flickered on the light as she saw mountains and cascades of books lined up on the shelves. "There has to be one about gaining chakra or about moving or controling elements,"Hinata whispered under her breath she walked to the shelves slowly not to make a sound because everyone was sleeping. She touched the books but nothing about increasing chakra.
She went to the next shelf and her eyes brightened.'YES!' Hinata took out a gray and blue book it was heavy and she had some difficulty putting it on the table but she did it. Hinata read the first few chapters reading word for word make suring she was understanding everything.
HInata placed the bowl of water on the table as she foucused her hands above it. She closed her eyes as she tried infusing her chakra with water. She opened her eyes and the water was boiling. Hinata smiled in excitment and she lost focus and the water came to a cooling halt.

Kankuro yawned and stretched as he got off his bed. He wasn't fully awake and he scratched his butt.(A\N IDK why I put it so don't ask.) He had his clothes and towel in his arms and made his way across the hall he stopped.
He backed a few steps and lifted an eyebrow."Hinata-hime?"He walked into the the library HInata was lying on a chair with her head on the table and a bowl infronnt of her a big book open. He lifted her up and a worried look on his face. He looked into the bowl.'Ice?' He looked at Hinata's face she looked exhausted and tired her hair was messy and she was in her sleeping clothes. He lifted her bridal style and walked out the library. She wrapped her arms around his neck and shifted her body in a more comfartable posistion. 'She is cute so adorable,'He looked down at her delicate face.(A\N He thinks of her like her sister nothing romantic ok?.)
He placed her softly on her bed and moved her hair from his face and walked out the room.

The sun's warm rays hit Hinata's face as she flinched. Her curtains were open and she quickly got up.'My room how'd I get here?'She looked around remembering she was in the library. She sighed she felt weak and exhausted but happy because she was growing stronger maybe not a lot but enough.
Hinata finished her shower and the bathroom smelt af lavender, she dryed her hair she looked in the mirror her hair was longer, she didn't know but should she cut it. It was on her shoulders she shrugged she sorta liked it that way. Short hair made her look like a kid and scared and maybe this one made her look more confident and grown-up. She put her droopy shirt on and her pants.
'I'm going to go show Gaara he's gonna be proud of me.'She smiled and made her way out the door.

"Gaara-kun it's me."Hinata said from the other side of Kazegak's office. The door opened and Yuri shot a glare at Hinata that sent shivers down her back.'What I'd do.' Hinata walked and smiled at Gaara. "What is Hinata-chan I'm sorta busy,"He signed a few pieces of papers and looked up at her. "I think I can finally do it last night I tried controlling water and I think I did it I'm not sure but I think I did it Gaara-kun!"
He just looked at her."Yuri bring a bucket of water please?" Yuri just grunted and walked out and returned with a big bowl of water."You may leave now."Yuri's eyes widened but left with no word.
"Show me."He looked at her and back at the water.
Hinata shook her head and became foucusing her chakra and the water started to boil and harden then BOOM! Chunks of ice flew everywhere around the room. Gaara's sand blocked him and Hinata from getting stabbed."OOps,"Hinata said nervously she looked at Gaara and bent her head down. He just smiled'She's been practicing and in one day she can master water.'He looked at the hyuga. She was changing and maybe finally blooming.
