"Hey Hinata, isn't that Gaara-san's horse near the hot spring?" Sakura asked Hinata.

Hinata took a look and agreed. "It is. It's Spiraling Storm. Maybe they are in there."

"Hinata, how about we enjoy a dip in a hot spring too." Sakura suggested to her.

"It seems like a fine idea." Hinata agreed.

"Let's go then.

"Aw man Gaara, now I have a bump on my head." Naruto whimpered rubbing the back of his head.

"Well it was you who gave me a fright. How can you say I'm a gay. You sure have a wild imagination Naruto." Gaara pouted his lips.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong then. Geez…" Naruto dip himself lower into the water. He peered at Gaara and found that he was looking slightly dejected. He got up again and move nearer to his friend. "I don't mean to hurt your feeling man. Come one, cheer up."

"Naruto, I think I'm…Slightly sexual frustrated."

Naruto's face gone from normal, to red and then to purple. "WHAT!!! Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Gaara looked at him and blinks. "I thought it will be better to voice it out."

"Well, didn't you two, I mean, Hinata and you…You know, do it?"

Gaara shook his head. "Hinata…Hinata is not ready and I'm respecting her decision."

Naruto's face was looking slightly disgusted. "I must have head butt you too hard on our first fight. Man, I can't believe I will see you like this."

"There's always a first in everything. Hinata can be strong sometimes and yet, fragile. I don't want to destroy it. Every time I hold her, I thought she might break from my contact."

"Uh…Too poetic liked. Well Gaara, you have to find your own way on dealing this problem then. Maybe you two should have a 'talk'. It will be the best way." Naruto gave his friend a reassuring smile.

"HEY YOU GUYS, ARE YOU THERE?" Sakura shouted.

Naruto was delighted to hear Sakura's voice and so he answered her. "I'M HERE SWEET HEART…"At that, Naruto got an idea. He got out from the water and move to the fence, shivering. "Sakura, is there anyone else in the spring?"

"JUST ONLY ME AND HINATA. IT'S TOO LATE AND TO COLD FOR ANYONE TO COME TO THE SPRING." She shouted.

Naruto's eyes twitched. "You don't have to shout you know. I'm just right beside the fences. By the way Sakura, I have something to show you. Will you like to go out with me?"

"Now?" Sakura asked.

"NOW!!!"

Sakura pouted her lips and looks at Hinata. "Well, I have to go Hinata. I promise I will come back later. I hope he better have something good or he will never live to see the day light." Sakura smacked her fist to her other hand. Hinata was sweating all over from her action.

"You better be hurry then. He might be waiting outside already." Hinata told her.

"Okay, see you later." Sakura then got out from the water and headed to the sliding door.

"Okay Gaara, now is your chance. Hinata is alone on the opposite site…With nothing on and maybe, just maybe you can get a peek to satisfy yourself. I will leave it to you here but behave yourself Gaara. You don't want to be on the headline tomorrow." With that, Naruto walked out of there while Gaara give him a death glare for thinking so lowly of him.

Gaara got out from the water and try to get a peek at the opposite side. He rubs his arms up and down to keep warm as he walks to the fence. The fences weren't that tall and he can easily tip-toe to look at the opposite side. He saw her, with nothing on, half of her body in the water. Gaara's eyes got wider as he can feel his blood rushing to his whole body.

He ducks down to get himself out of the sight of her. He can't stand it anymore but he wanted more of it. He got up again and performs a series of hand seals and he was left with the wind.

Hinata was washing herself, enjoying the warm water when all of the sudden, she felt two arms wrap around her timid body. She gasped and turns to the back to see her husband standing behind her, his body pressing against her.

"G-Gaara?" Her eyes wide in shock.

Gaara buried himself onto the crock of her neck as he tries to rub away the friction between his legs against Hinata's soft buttock. He moaned at the pleasure of it as his hand travel around her body before grabbing a handful of her breast.

Instantly, Hinata pushes him away and run to the other end of the spring. Gaara shook his head and look at her again. "G-Gaara, w-hat were you doing?" She asked him.

Feeling embarrassed by his own foolish action, he didn't know how to answer her. "I-I'm sorry Hinata."

Hinata looks at him and sees a glimpse of sadness in his aquamarine eyes. The sight of him looking like that makes her feel all fuzzy inside. "G-Gaara, is something wrong?"

"Yes Hinata, I'm…I'm... I'm sorry…"With that, he disappeared, leaving Hinata staring off into the wind left behind.

"No…Gaara…I'm sorry." She whispered, trying to hold back her tears for her utter foolishness. She didn't know if she was shaking out of grieve or coldness. It doesn't matter to her anymore; she has done something really stupid.

After leaving the hot spring, Gaara walks down the road aimlessly as if part of his soul has vanished into thin air. He walked limply and if people hadn't known him better, they will think that they were seeing ghost right before their eyes.

From sadness, it turns into anger and his mind was mocking him for his indecent act towards his wife as he has promised her that he will wait but how could he when she had touched him so intimately that night that it was hard to, for a man to harbor that feeling down his stomach.

As he begin to think longer about what have happen, he began to remind himself that if everyone knows of this, that the kazekage obliged to his wife into saying he will wait until she was ready to be in bed with him, he will lose his reputation as a head man of the village. People will start to gossips about him and his ability to control a woman. That will be the ultimate shame but, he wanted Hinata to be happy nonetheless that's why he had told himself a hundred time that he will do nothing unless Hinata invited him to do so. He respected her to gain her love and admiration for him.

He wanted her to love him for being a caring husband, a considerate husband but still, he has 'needs' that is meant to be fulfilled once he has settled himself with a wife. Why isn't Hinata ready for him? Did she have second thought about their marriage? His jaws tightened. 'What could the reason be?' He asked himself for the thousand times under the cold night. The harsh weather didn't seem to bother him anymore as he debated with himself on top of a roof the whole night.
