Ch. 11 Blondes and Minor details

Awkward.

Silent.

Stiff.

Boring as Hell!

Terra just wanted to face palm and scream, all they were doing was sitting and staring at the other while they wait! On someone called Itachi!

Slowly Terra began jiggling her left knee, Itachi, Itachi…that name was so familiar but she couldn't place it, either way it was his fault they were all sitting there bored out their fucking minds!

Feeling a foot brushing upon against her calf, she looked up across from her with a fiery glare, only to be met with a glinting shine from a pair of glasses and a smirk. Yakushi Kabuto.

This whole meeting her for Christmas and having this dinner was nothing more than a politic move for the 'royal families'! It was originally meant for Gaara and Matsuri, their engagement party in a way. So of course all the important families were invited.

The Uchiha's and their son, who was late, Hyuga, who's eldest daughter was absent, she was attending the Uzumaki's on their family road trip, along with the Sabaku's, these were the "royal family", political powers you didn't want to mess with…then of course the Niigata family; Matsuri crazy ass mother and father, then finally the Yakashi's, they and some other families that Terra ignored where trying to gain favor into the upper families, marriages and deals all that other shit.

She could see why Matsuri's family was so pissed at her not only did she ruin their daughter chance to be with her ultimate crush but she also took away from them to gain a way into the 'Royal Family' and have any political sway.

Hmm, sucks for them.

"Sooo," The silence was shatter and every pair of eyes snapped to that one person. She was a simple beauty, some could say she was naturally beautiful. She has long, dark brown hair kept in a neat low bun with three strands framing her face, fair skin and dark eyes; she wore a pink blouse and dark-colored skirt. Terra's eyes locked in on her right hand that was lace with someone with laid back somewhat bored expression. Nara she was a Nara, Yoshino to be exact, her son Shikamaru, was married to Temari, Gaara's sister, so they were family, 'Royal family'.

"How did you meet our troublesome Gaara?" She asked kindly with a small smile. Terra could tell she seem to adore Gaara, by the tone she said troublesome, it was almost like an endearing nickname.

But, now all eyes snapped to Terra, the Niigata family glaring, everyone else just seems interested. Clearing her throat she smiled as her knee began to jiggle faster; did they all have to stare unblinkingly at her?

A large warm hand laid over her knee, stilling the movement, looking over to Gaara she smiles, grabbing his hand under the table. "Ah, well it's not very awe inspiring or even romantic…it was actually quite terrifying…" she murmurs looking at the table; she tried not to laugh at the gaping and confused faces.

"W-what?" Yoshino stuttered completely caught off guard, well the whole table was shocked even her family. She never went into detail of how she 'met' Gaara, she always brushed it off, saying it didn't matter now.

"Don't look at me like that." Terra laughed. "Again it was not awe inspiring or even romantic but so totally like Gaara." She continues to laugh.

"Well, what happened?" Mikoto, put a catpial 'B' in Asian Beauty, she was an Uchiha, Terra guessed.

"You should have just listened the first time." Gaara muttered with a side, causing everyone to raise a brow.

"You cornered me!" This caused everyone to gasps. "yes I know, so there I was in the store minding my very own business, when this redhead tower of terror, corners me in the milk aisle, takes my phone that was in my back pocket, mind you, puts in his number all while talking, saying his name what he likes and that we're going on a date… Tuesday, I believe," Terra frowned looking over at Gaara, as he nods that she was correct. This gave the table the impression that this all did happen. Play the role Terra, not too fast, not to slow; don't drag it out either, just like they rehearsed.

"Then he just walked away, leaving me shocked and scared! Here this guy that just felt up my rear end for my phone and not asked but told! He told me we were going on a date." She shook her head. So this was a half truth, did this happen? Yes, Gaara did feel up her ass to get her phone and putting in his number? Yes! Though he didn't say they were going on a date but he did say they were married, by blackmail, but that's a minor detail.

"My gosh, did you go?" Someone asked in shock, Terra didn't see who spoke but she answered anyways.

"Tsh, hell no!" she laughed before blinking and covering her mouth. "Sorry," Gaara just smirked; leave it to her to cruse in front of very politically strict families. "But no, I didn't."

"Then how did you two ever get together?" Temari asked this time.

"He stalked me, until he cornered me at work." She rolled her eyes remembering they way he just showed up at the back of her school around gym time. "The he just dragged me off to this diner for our date." Again just minor details, he did drag her off to a diner but it was not date! Just him chewing her out, demanding why she didn't pick up her phone, that just lead them to just yelling at each other, trying to figure out how to make this 'marriage' work. Whoa they came a long way…

"And you just accepted this?" Yoshino frowned; Terra could see she was a strong woman, obviously the pants in the relationship.

"I'm sure you all know Gaara can be very demanding, he filled my every waking moment with his presences." She sighs, again this is true, Gaara was there every second of the day it felt like, they had to rush and 'get to know' each other.

"Now, before you all get all sappy it wasn't like he was showing up with flowers, charming smiles and poetic words." She rolled her eyes playing the part that wasn't that hard, Gaara is very brash. "He was very assertive and demanding, then once on a date or an outing he acted as if he had better things to do or place to be; really ticked me off."

"If you two did nothing my nag and argue, how did you two get married?" This was Matsuri's father Kanaye that spoke with a sneer.

"He was there." She smiled; no he really just blackmailed me, but again minor details. "Even if we argued he came back, like a dang boomerang…that and maybe a bit of jealously." She smiled at Gaara who rolled his eyes as they both ignored Kabuto for the time being.

"Jealously?" Etsu, Matsuri's mother sitting up with a gaping fake look, that made her look like a fish.

"Ahh, before you jump to assumption, neither of us cheated or anything like that, because at the time we were not dating." She glared at the older woman. "I just had to show him, that if he wanted to date me, he needed to come down to earth…there are other fish in the sea and he wasn't some god gift to women." This was a half truth she in a way did cheat, she was in a way dating Kabuto while 'married' to Gaara, which made her see that she did have feeling for the redhead, yet that was just…minor details.

"So just like that huh you're in love?" Matsuri glared. "Arguing and nagging? How is that love?"

"No one said love was easy, or sunshine and roses," Terra sighed rolling her eyes at the crazy bitch. "Some people slowly fall in love knowing that they are falling, other trip and fall on their face, no for me I was ambushed from all sides, attack violently until my walls were disintegrated. I didn't even know I was in love until he proposed." Another half truth she didn't know that she was having deep feeling for Gaara until she was in so deep that she didn't know she had drowned….the proposal was a minor detail.

She looked at Gaara with 'love' grabbing his hand from her knee and lacing her fingers with his, so everyone can see. "I guess you can say that was the only time he was sweet."

"Tell us! How did he propose?" A woman with a softly voice and lavender eyes smiled, her name was Hisako, but Terra couldn't remember her last name.

"Well naturally, of course, he proposes after an argument." Terra laughed, personally Terra loved this part of the...'lie' it was so like Gaara to do that, it was why they agreed upon it.

Everyone looked at them with blanket expressions, the 'Royal Family' seem to have a knack for unreadable faces.

This was where Gaara finished the story. "I don't even know what the argument was about, didn't care then and don't care even now," he grumbles with a sigh. "We were on our way to the store, and she was still fuming, personally, I take joy in seeing her pissed off and mad." He smirked looking over at her as she raised a brow. "The emotion that fly across her face, and they way her eyes light up with each emotion, or how her nose wrinkle and her lips purse together, it's such an ugly face…yet she can pull it off so well…"

Terra blinked as she blushed, this wasn't a part of the 'lie…well it seems this was his owe minor details.

"We were in the frozen food aisle, and she was huffing and puffing, her face all scrunched up in anger," He places his elbow on the table cover his mouth somewhat to hide that rare smile as he reached one hand to poke and push up her nose, before she slapped his hand away. "It was then that I thought 'I wouldn't mind seeing that ugly face every single day.'"

Terra's face was red hot, she could feel the blush spreading to her neck, in Gaara's translation, he just told her she so many things, he adored her 'mad face' to him it was something he enjoyed seeing so he would make her mad, and he…he…Terra couldn't finish the thought he was looking at her with such a stare she lost track of her thoughts.

"So when she yanked that frozen glass door open, grading and tossing food into the basket, I wiped away some of the ice before fogging up the glass and wrote the message." He shrugged.

"It was so like him."Terra spoke up. "When I was marching away he said that I forget something in the door. I was confused so when I turned around there were the words "marry me" With a question mark, and the dot of the symbol was wiped into an large circle enough to show then ring in a teal colored box that sat on the frozen rack, and he just stood there leaning against the door."

The sizzling atmosphere was shatter when the door to the Hall was slammed shut; she looked away from Gaara's intense gaze with a blush as everyone in the Hall ripped their eyes to the group of people that stood by the grand doors. The first one that caught her attention was the tallest male, the guy was damn huge with a capital 'H', she couldn't tell much about him from this far but she could see some odd tattoo under each of his eyes, odd… .

"Sorry for being so late..." A soft smooth voice spoke. "I hope I didn't interrupt…If I did my apologies." A young man, a beautiful man, a sexy, mouth water delicious man, came forward and bow in respect. He must be the Uchiha son they were waiting on…Itachi…Mmmmm…yummy!

Snapping out of her daze she watched as the group walked further into the Hall, they were an odd, one other person who caught her interest was the one that dressed in half white and half black…uh does he think he is...Two-face from Batman?

Lastly the person who snagged her notice was a blonde with a high ponytail, frowning Terra tilted her head as the 'blonde' turned to face her and Terra felt shock run through her body as one pale blue eye locked onto her emerald green ones.

It was as if time stopped and it was nothing but shock then pure happiness as they both shouted.

"HOLY SHIT!"

Gaara snapped his head to Terra as she squealed in delight before shooting out of her chair just as the blonde from Itachi's group rushed over to her, his one blue eye wide with excitement. Gaara glared as the two nearly slammed bodies as they hugged tightly, the blonde even going as far as spinning her around. His eyes flickered to Kabuto who was glaring at the blonde as well; Kabuto eyes glanced over to Gaara before narrowing his eyes at the blonde then back to Gaara.

Good, Gaara thought, at least I'm not the only one left in the dark…Gaara wasn't sure what ticked him off more, him not knowing the new guy hugging Terra, or the fact him and the ass Kabuto agreed on something…they hated the blonde.

He continue to watch the two as the blonde finally put his 'wife'down but he never let go, his hands slid up her hips and waist to her shoulders and down her arms to her hands, their bodies were close enough that Terra's small breasts were nearly touching his chest.

The blonde was dead!

Gaara looked over to Kabuto to see his thoughts were the same.

Looking back over to the two, they started babbling.

"My gosh, what are you doing here?" Terra gushed.

"Me? I can ask you the same thing, hm!"

Like the girl she was Terra could not help but squeal yet again and launch herself into the blonde's arms. Gaara had enough he was nearly drowning in jealous anger, she never hugged him like that or squealed, the worst yet her eyes never lit up like they did when she saw the blonde!

Standing up, Gaara cleared his throat gaining both of their attentions, yet they both still didn't move far from the other, this made his blood boil. Reaching out he grabbed Terra's arm and pulled her to his side with hard narrowed eyes.

"Deidara." He sneered in greeting.

"Gaara, hm." Deidara sneered back.

"Wait…wait you two know each other?" Terra gaped.

"Likewise for you, right my dear?" Gaara glared.

"Yeah, Terra, how do you know this bastard?" Deidara clicked his tongue in dismay.

Laughing nervously, Terra tugged at her left ear blushing. "DeDe… you remember way back when I was gushing all over that one dude right?"

Gaara raised a brow as he looked between the two slowly; Deidara had his eye glued to her left ear before blinking.

"So you mean to tell me, when we were in Vegas…it was Gaara who you were sneaking out and seeing…hm?" He asked slowly staring at Terra intensely.

"Yes," she nods but it was the look in her eyes that made Gaara frown. "So," she paused again with a twitch to her brows. "Say hello to my Husband." She clicked her tongue.

Deidara blinked before narrowing his eyes at Gaara. "So, that time at the Wine Yard Villa…it wasn't joke…you really got married?"

Gaara was so confused and it was pissing him off, Terra gave a sigh of relief as she eased into his side wrapping her arms around his waist. "Yeah…haha I couldn't tell you because we wanted it to be secrete but needed a witness." She smiled.

"Whoa, whoa, ok stop!" Jamie, Terra's Aunt stood up with her hands on her hips. "Can someone, please! Please, explain what in the world! Is going on!" she snapped. "How could these two not know they were at the same wedding when they obviously know each other?"

"Yes, all this doesn't make sense, are you two lying to us!" Etsu, Matsuri's mother growled.

Gaara licked his lips his eyes snapping over to his father who was staring hard at him, but Terra never tensed up she stayed calm and relaxed.

"Not, if the wedding was a masquerade." Both Terra and Deidara chorused together.

Terra smiled kindly. "I never did tell you what kinda wedding I had." She sat down in her seat after one finally hug from Deidara.

Terra and Deidara were the ones to explain the wedding she had, in much detail, this was way off from the plan they discussed but from everyone's look they seemed to be buying it, plus from the looks of Itachi's group of friends they seem to have hear this before…guesses are he's going to have to go along with this minor detail. Gaara grabbed Terra's hand leaning over to her ear.

"You have tons for explaining to do." He hissed softly. She ignored him, simply patting his hand as she continued their story.

"So that damn fucking ball we went to, you know with all the chicks' tits hanging all out. That was you fuckers weddin?" A violet eye man shouted loudly with his mouth full of food.

Terra smiled widely. "You must be Hidan!"

"Yeah, you must be that bitch, our tranny kept yappin about." He smirked.

"STOP calling me that! Hm!" Deidara snapped loudly.

"Gosh DeDe you still have that verbal tic, hmm." She copied laughing hard as Deidara turned his rage upon her.

Gaara sighed, it would seem his dear wife and the blonde had a plan that seem to be going flawlessly, he hated how the two seem to could communicate and hatch a plan without talking, he glared harshly they must have been very close. I hated that fucking blonde even more now.

So there you have it I hope Gaara isn't too Ooc I'm super excited to writing the Akatsuki. This chapter kinda wrote itself and I didn't plan to have the dinner go this way but hey I kinda like it haha.

So please don't forget to review so I can get better, hopeful able to update faster!
