Hey sorry its been awhile... but I just had a writer's block until now... It was hard so here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it 3

I do not own Naruto.

Hinata just smiled as she looked into the mirror. What a wonderful evening... she thought remembering her makout scene on the top of the tower. "O my god!!!" she squealed as she jumped on her bed. She had the best night ever. And to top it off, Gaara said 'I love you'. He loves me...He loves me... He loves me...

Gaara let out a sigh and smiled in the mirror. "O...my...God..." he sighed and smiled. He had never had such a night as that. True, having Temari see was horrible, but hey I got a kiss from the girl I love. Nothing could get better than this. He jumped on his bed, crossed his arms and closed his eyes. Nothing could go wrong now...

Hinata was walking around Suna. What a lovely day... The sun was shining. The birds, if there could be any birds in the desert, were chirping. The people were smiling at her. She had a fabulous day of shopping. And...Hinata pondered on something for a moment. Now, she knew people could be nice. But she knew the people of Suna had the attitude of not being friendly. and everyone she saw, was super friendly... Wait a second...I dont get it... She walked by a little boutique and found a really cute t-shirt. Now, normally Hinata hated t-shirts, but this one was special, considering it had "I love Sand" on the front. I do love sand...especially the one who can control it... She walked up to the cashier, which was merely a woman and a box that held money.

"How much is this?" Hinata asked with a smile on her face.

"Well for you it's free!" the lady smiled back. "You can have anything you want in this store! You lucky girl!"

"Excuse me?" Hinata asked. "I um...don't understand why..." Hinata stared around, wondering if she was like the millionth customer or something like that. Things like that though always happened to Neji...Hinata had no good luck at all. "Why am I getting this shirt free?"

The lady just smiled and put the shirt into a plastic bag. "Have a lovely day, ma'am..." she chuckled, handing the bag to Hinata.

Hinata, still wondering why she got a shirt free, kept walking around the market. What could cause people practically a few days(remembering Hinata hadn't been outside in awhile) to change their whole attitude? What could make people be so sweet after a few days of bitterness to pure joy? What had happened? As Hinata tried thinking about it, she stared upward and saw the sun, right above her. It had just risen over the high tower. Blasted sun...Why couldn't you stay behind the tower... Hinata then gasped. Free t-shirts, lucky girl, anything you want...O MY GOD... all of Suna saw Gaara and me make-out last night... Hinata had to hurry. First of all, she hated PDA (public display of affection)... It made her uneasy to watch people with their mouths all attached and tongues going in and out. It's disgusting! she thought of it... Then... now... she was completely embarrassed that everyone...in the entire village saw them... making out... Oh my god... Now Hinata just wanted to faint of embarrassment...literally. Can't I just wait until the palace to pass out? But she couldn't. Hinata lost the ability to breath. and her head just went backward. Bam. Right in the middle of the street. Hinata fainted.

Gaara was staring at the ceiling. What a glorious day... He had just shown Hinata the rest of Suna. He had let her walk around by herself. He was comfortable to let her do that. True, the Suna people could be considered...what's the word... unfriendly? but if someone could make someone nice, it was Hinata. I mean she changed Gaara right? Nothing was going to go wrong between them. He actually had planned another great evening for them. He was hoping she would say yes to his proposal. Yes it might be too risky but when Gaara loved someone, he wanted it to be for a lifetime. He never wanted to wait on things. Why wait...if we wait, then we will get in arguments and everything... I want to spend my time with her. I've never been changed by someone as much as she has changed me...There was a knock at the door. "Hinata..." Gaara smiled. He ran to the door smiling. But to his surprise it wasn't Hinata. It wasn't even Temari. It was his older brother which some blonde ditz... "Kankuro?" Gaara questioned. "What the? What is this?" Gaara's face went from happy to serious. "What did you do?"

"Oh Gaara..." Kankuro smiled. "This is my girlfriend, Ino Yamanaka."

"Hi!!!" she laughed.

Gaara just stared at the two happy smiling lunatics. Both of their voices gave Gaara a headache. True they were annoyingly perfect for each other, they still made Gaara queezy... Even though they both looked like they made each other happy. Gaara wondered how people would think of him and Hinata. Would we make people sick? Will we annoy people? Do we look perfect together?

"Gaara!" Kankuro shouted to Gaara. "So um just wanted you to know I'm back in town... and well I ain't going back to take that Hyuuga girl. If that's okay with you."

"That's fine..." Gaara sighed. He knew that Hinata was leaving the next day. Her relaxing vacation was almost up... And his loving getaway with her was almost to a close. Ah, and his time to ask was coming closer and closer. He felt his throat start to dry up. It felt like sandpaper. Gaara shut the door on Kankuro and Ino, who didn't seem to care because they were making out.

Am I ready to ask her? Am I willing to be with her? Do I really love her? Gaara was second-guessing himself after seeing his brother. He just wanted Hinata to be happy. "Question is," he sighed. "Can I make her happy?"

Temari had heard the news of Hinata passing out in the street and found her in the hospital room. Hinata was still unconcious. Temari knew exactly why Hinata had passed out. She found out that the town knew about the make out session last night. It made her nervous, and if Temari was in that situation, she might pass out. Maybe. But alas, Hinata was more gentle than Temari. So it was expected that she would pass out. Temari hadn't told Gaara yet. Heck, she knew he freak out too. Probably give a decree never to mention it again. Anyway, she sat next to the dark hair girl. Temari was actually going to miss this crazy girl. True she blushed more than any other human in the world, but Hinata was funny and sweet. Hinata made her brother happy. And what could be better than that?

Temari decided that it was time to tell Gaara about the news. About Hinata passing out. About how the town knows. About how Temari thinks Hinata should stay for a little longer. Before Temari could get out of the room, Hinata yawned. Temari looked over to her and saw she was waking up. Temari smiled and sat back down right next to Hinata. "Hey there sleepy head. Heard about your little drama in the streets. Ouch." Temari smiled.

Hinata rubbed her hand on her forehead. She was trying to remember exactly what happened. She knew about the town. They know. She knew about remembering the tower. They know. She remembered her bag of groceries. They know. She could remember the shirt. They know. She saw guards walking past her. They know. And now, she saw Temari sitting next to her. THEY KNOW.

"How did I get here?" Hinata questioned. That was the only thing she didn't know.

"Oh," Temari nodded remembering herself. "I saw you pass out from the bookstore across the street. I quickly picked you up and brought you here."

Hinata sighed. She thought that the royal guards had grabbed her and took her here. But it was only Temari. The crazy athletic sweet rude stubborn girl who was known to be having a fling with a certain lazy ninja. This was the girl who helped set Gaara and herself up. This was the girl who pretended to be a male waiter in order to make sure Hinata and Gaara would be together. Temari was Hinata's first Suna friend. She did make fun of her at first, but she explained herself later. It was cool. But before this, never did Hinata think that out of her vacation she would make a best friend.

"Well thanks," Hinata smiled. "You are really great."

"I've been told!" Temari grinned and laughed. "So you leave tomorrow... Gaara got any special plans for you two?"

Hinata pondered a moment. "Not that I know of..."

"Well I would suspect he's got something big," Temari snickered. "He's always got something up his sleeves when it comes to people close to him..."

"Oh," Hinata blushed. What will he do??? I can't even think about what he could do...

"Well anyway..." Temari sighed. "Let's get you out of this hospital!"

Temari found a doctor who, after much deliberation (threats), let Hinata leave the hospital. They both walked back to the palace. Hinata avoided everyone else's glances. She didn't want to pass out...AGAIN. Luckily, she didn't. She made it inside the palace. Hinata ran back to her room, shut the door, and sighed. She had to take in this whole day one second at a time. But before she could she looked at the bed and there was something on it...

Temari knocked on Gaara's door. He opened it a little that way you could only see one of his emerald eyes. Temari smiled and nodded the door, making it look like she wanted to come in. He rolled his eye and let her in.

"So lil bro," Temari sighed while jumping on his bed. "Whatcha doing?"

"Getting ready..." Gaara scoffed. "for a date..."

"With Hinata," Temari added. "So any special plans for her? Taking her to an amusement park? Make a sand castle for her to live in? Ice skating?"

Gaara turned around and threw a box at her. Temari's eyes grew so big you thought that they would pop out of her sockets.

Hinata looked at her bed which was covered with white roses. And a piece of paper that had information to meet at. This must be something big...

"You can't be serious..." Temari whispered. "Are...wait...what...now????"

"I know I can make her happy," Gaara nodded his head. "Or at least I can try. But she makes me happy. and I want to know if I do the same for her..."

"I'm not going to lecture you about this..." Temari sighed getting off of the bed. "However, just know all that's involved with this and all that you can give. Will it be enough?"

Gaara sighed and looked out the window. He hadn't been this nervous his whole life. He hadn't been this much in love his whole life. He loved Hinata. And he wanted to make her happy. He wanted to be with her the rest of his life. Will that be enough?

OMG. Can't wait for next time! Please review!!!! Blackpolish
