Gaara was waiting down stairs holding a rather large picnic basket for Hinata. She had tried to call Sasuke but his phone was off. She knew she would have to sneak away when she was with Gaara to find Sasuke. Gaara smiled and held out his hand, "Ready to go."

She immediately took his hand, "Yes let's go."

They walked in silence to the park as Hinata kept looking around to see if she saw Sasuke. "Everything ok Hinata?"

"Y-Yes…I'm fine I'm w-with you so e-everything is g-good."

He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, "I like that answer." He led her to a quite spot in the park and pulled out a blanket and set it down. "Are you hungry? Because I bought us some food. He placed the basket down and pulled out some containers of food and drinks.

Hinata could see he had put a lot of effort into this date. "Wow you did all of this for me?"

He nodded as he searched the picnic basket, "Yeah I wanted it to be special…uh oh I think I forgot the plates."

Hinata looked at her watch, "Oh I'll get them."

"No it's ok." He looked up but she was already gone.

She ran through the park to the where she was supposed to meet Sasuke. He looked a little annoyed when she got there. "You're late."

"S-Sorry I…"

He leaned in and kissed her cutting her off. "It's ok I'm just happy to be with you." His words melted her heart she had said almost the same thing to Gaara not ten minutes ago. But when Sasuke said it, it was something else entirely. "So where do you want to go out tonight?"

Hinata pointed to a spot not too far away on the grass. "I thought we could stay here it's seclude with the trees surrounding…..private….you know."

He took her hand and walked over to the spot, "Well I have some news…."

"Oh can it wait one second…." She made up a quick lie, "I saw a soda vendor back there and I want to catch him before the run out of my favorite brand. I'll get you one too be right back!"

And once again before he could say anything Hinata was gone. She ran back to Gaara, "Oh good you didn't find any plates because I did. Come here let's eat."

Hinata was trying to catch her breath as she sat down next to Gaara. "G-Good."

Gaara took her hands in his, "Before we start to eat it seems to me that you're nervous about our wedding. Are you nervous?"

She nodded slowly, "Yes….are you?"

He shook his head, "Not really, I'm excited I can't wait to be your husband. I found us a great house with a garden, an outdoor and indoor pool, a four car garage. We'll have to get you car after our honeymoon. I'm taking you to the islands for two and half weeks. You, me, the sun, and the beach it will perfect. After that you and I will travel all the time."

She couldn't believe all this stuff Gaara was giving her, "That's so nice of you Gaara."

"You deserve it Hinata. I will give you everything you're heart desires. You'll never have to want for anything."

She looked down at her watch and realized Sasuke should be wondering what's taking her so long. "Oh I think I just saw my friend. Would you excuse me for a moment?"

She ran off before he could even get a word out. She ran all the way back to Sasuke. "I couldn't find the soda guy oh well. Can you believe we are graduating in two weeks?"

He put his arms around her shoulders, "No it's happening so fast. Do you feel like our time together is going by too fast? Because I sure do."

She had tried to keep it out of her mind of the fact that they would no longer see each other after graduation. "Are you going to come to the wedding?"

He let out a little chuckle, "To see you marry another man? No thanks."

She frowned, "I figured….just thought I ask. So the last time I'll see you is….."

"You're getting married two days after graduation so maybe that night you could sneak out and we could say goodbye."

She held back a tear she knew she was going to hate to say goodbye. She needed to get out of there quickly. "I-I'm actually really thirsty I'm going to go find the soda guy."

She ran off back to Gaara out of breath once again. As she ran she said, "If I'm going to date two guys at the same time I've got to get back in shape."

Gaara handed her a plate of food, "Was that your friend?"

"Oh no but they sure did run fast." She laughed nervously hoping he would laugh with her.

He started laughing, "I hate when that happens."

"I guess I have bad eyes."

"Your eyes are perfect…everything about you is."

Hinata took a bite off her food, "Mmmm this taste like the sushi from the favorite restaurant."

He smirked, "That's because it is. I wanted to make this night special."

"Well you're doing a great job."

He reached into and pulled out a six pack of soda. "DRINKS!"

"Yeah are you thirsty?"

She needed to get back to Sasuke, "Yes but not for that I need diet. You know got to fit into my wedding dress." She grabbed two sodas, "I'm going to……….exchange them for diet."

Hinata ran off with the two sodas to Sasuke. "Here you go."

Sasuke opened his can of soda and it sprayed him in the face. She could hardly contain her laughter. "You think this is funny?"

She nodded still laughing, "Yes it is."

He took her can and opened it pointing it at Hinata letting it spray her. He chuckled "Now that's funny."

She was still laughing and she nudged him, "SASUKE!!"

"Maybe we should clean up?"

"Yeah I'll meet you right back here."

He was a bit confused now, "Why do you keep making excuses to leave? I mean I haven't even gotten to tell you my news."

She stood up so she wouldn't be looking at him as she lied, "I'm not I'm just covered in soda. I'll be right back I promise and then you can tell me your news."

Hinata ran off back to Gaara leaving a confused Sasuke. He looked around and pointed in the opposite direction Hinata went, "The bathrooms are that way. Something is not right here."

Hinata slid in next to Gaara, "I dropped the sodas."

He looked at her she was covered in soda, "I can see that…here." He handed her some napkins. "Hinata I'm a little worried that you're not having a good time."

"No Gaara I'm having a great time. It's a special night just like you wanted it to be."

He let out a sigh of relief, "Good because I want you to like being with me. Because I love being with you. You're not like other girls. They just like me only for my money. But not you, you like me for me."

"Of course Gaara you're money doesn't matter to me. I really do like you." She looked up and saw Gaara was leaning in for a kiss on the lips and she let him. Kissing Gaara was something she never felt before but she didn't know what it was.

They pulled away when they heard someone yell, "HINATA?!"

They both turned to see Sasuke who didn't look to happy. "So this is where you keep running off too?"

Gaara shook his head, "Wait what?!"

Hinata knew she had to think of something quick, "This is…..my friend Sasuke I saw him at the park and he was having a problem. I've been trying to help him I wanted to tell you Gaara. Really I did but you worked so hard to make this date perfect I didn't want to ruin it. " She looked over at Sasuke and begged with her eyes for him to agree with her.

He sighed, "Yeah….I saw my girlfriend kissing another guy."

Oblivious that Hinata was the girlfriend Gaara stood up, "Wow man that sucks. Seems like the good ones are always taken."

"You have no idea."

"I'm Gaara by the way Hinata's fiancé." He held out his hand for Sasuke to shake.

He shook it, "Yeah like she said I'm Sasuke. She talks about you a lot."

"Really?"

"Yeah so much I wish she'd just shut up sometimes id you know what I mean."

Gaara put his arm around Hinata who had just stood up, "Well isn't that sweet. I hope you find a girl just like Hinata. Did you break up with your girlfriend?"

He looked directing at Hinata when he said, "I just did. Nice to meet you Gaara maybe I'll see you two around."

"He seems like a nice guy too bad about that girl. What kind of girl would do that?"

Gaara went back to their blanket as Hinata watched Sasuke walk away. She was on the verge of tears when she answered, "A horrible one."

Tora smacked his head, "Just great now Gaara is going to win."

Amaya was doing the cabbage patch, "Oh yeah that's right he stepped it up. Go Gaara!"

Kyo and Yahiko groaned and in unison said, "We are never going to finish this story."

Their mom laughed, "Don't worry it's almost over. Let me continue….."
