Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I own Hannah her family and a bit of the plot, that is all. Enjoy!

Reunions & Anger

Gaara sighed as he looked at Hannah once more wishing he could give her one last hug. Temari touched Gaara's shoulder and gave her youngest brother a small smile before she and Kankuro left Hannah's hospital room. Hannah gave them a smile as Gaara's siblings left. Hannah and Gaara looked at each other neither wanting to be the first to say goodbye. But both of them knew that they had too.

"It's not goodbye, if anything it's see ya later. Then at least we have a promise to see each other again!" Hannah said sudden a giant smile on her face despite the sadness in her brown eyes. Gaara smiled and nodding as he left leaving Hannah behind for his village.

-Week One-

Hannah sighed as she got up from her hospital bed. They had moved her once again to share a room with Ethan who was still in restraints and gagging from the smell of the hospital. The window had been opened as far as it could go but Ethan couldn't stop gagging every time he tried to breathe. Hannah had teased him about it whenever she could knowing she might not get another chance to do so. Ethan couldn't say anything back since whenever he opened his mouth he gagged again from the stench. Hannah winced as she pushed herself into a sitting position and panted as she moved her legs to the side of the bed.

Everywhere hurt from her battle but she was determined to get back on her feet in another week. She was about to go free last week and back to the Sand Village but she threw up and passed out from all her pain she had pushed back. Since then Shizune or sometimes as Cece, would make sure she stayed in bed and rested. Hannah gasped as more pain shot up her spine and snaked its way through her entire body. Even though the pain was, dull from the medication it still was an intense pain.

They had talked about why their powers were acting up so much. Usually Hannah would heal a wound and that would be the end of it. While Ethan could feel intense pain which caused adrenaline to pump into his system making him almost unbeatable before leaving his body. Yet now the wounds she healed on herself popped back up and even a few wounds she had taken from Ethan had appeared. (She found a lump on her foot from were Kisame had stepped on Ethan's foot.) While Ethan's pain was, just pain that made him go out of control and have a blood lust. The main reason they even used their Spirit was to protect their family and their village but even now it seemed as though it wouldn't help at all.

Ethan watched as Hannah struggled out of bed and stopped his own struggling for a bit. He silently cheered on his sister as she stood up fully on both legs for a minute before collapsing on the bed again gasping for air. Ever since they added, a sedative to her pain medication Hannah was more tired and weaker than before. Ethan fought the urge to sigh afraid his gagging fit would start again but he needed to breathe. Taking a breath, he gagged as fresh air combined with hospital air, making the stink an even more pungent smell.

Last time Hannah tried to stand, she stood for thirty seconds before collapsing. Ethan blinked as Hannah crawled back into bed eyes threatening to close even before she was settled, and he held his breath again. Forgetting for a moment he sighed and dry heaved. With the rattling of his bed Hannah fell asleep as Ethan swore and hissed at his restraints, dry heaving and coughing as he gasped like a fish out of water.

-Week Two-

Gaara signed his name at the bottom of a document when his sea-green eyes traveled to the door. He turned back to his paperwork before his eyes once again drifted toward the door. It had been a two weeks since Hannah had left and all he could think about was if she was okay. They had called the last time and told Gaara it was going to be a while longer. Since then he wondered if she was recuperating well or at the very least was fine.

The paperwork was a bit of a mindless distraction but eventually his subconscious would take over and his eyes would search for the door again. He understood that it meant he wanted Hannah back but a part of him was glad she was gone. Glad for the silence it brought but wishing for her presence at the same time.

'Now I have time to think but... not having her around is... strange.' Gaara thought as he let out a small sigh before signing his name again. He wanted Hannah back to talk to and laugh with. He wanted her gone to think and to be by himself. He didn't want to be alone though; he was already alone for so long. But all he wanted mostly was a relief to all this a safety net to be sure.

Temari looked at Gaara and studied him a bit before filing the paperwork. She watched, as his eyes would drift to the door and how they would harden before they snapped back to the document he was on. Temari wondered if she could get Gaara to talk about it. She played with the idea for a bit thinking of scenarios. She was trying to be careful which something she never did when Gaara suddenly spoke was.

"Temari what do I do?" Gaara asked as his cold eyes rested on his sister who jumped in surprise before she sighed and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know what you're asking so I don't have an answer." Temari just breathed as she put more paperwork away. She watched Gaara from the corner of her eye willingly him to continue. Just to see of course if she can meddle in Gaara's love life more than she already did.

"Never mind then." Gaara snapped as he turned to his paperwork while Temari sighed until a thought crossed her mind and thinking carefully of it decided that it might work.

"If you want to know about how to deal with Hannah and all of this then I can help you." Temari said simply as Gaara turned to her once more in surprise and she smiled.

"Why would I want to ask about Hannah?" Gaara asked his eyes narrowing in suspicion at Temari's sly smile.

"You want to know why you miss her right?" Temari asked her giant smile turned into a frown and her face into disbelief as Gaara shook his head.

"I know why I miss her, she is my friend. Is that all?" Gaara said his tone ice-cold and his gaze rock hard as he stared at Temari with his intense eyes. Temari smiled however and chuckled at Gaara who blinked in surprise at his sister.

"Gaara let me guess. You want Hannah here but at the same time you don't right?" Temari asked her plan working from the start as Gaara reluctantly nodded. "When she returns you'll see how much you actually wanted her here. It might even outweigh the other feelings." She continued giving Gaara a lazy smile with one eye closed while he blinked and shook his head at her.

'Is everyone turning crazy now?' Gaara couldn't help but think as his sister laughed and he looked back at her. Temari was practically beaming at him from where she sat.

"Just some sisterly advice, little brother," Temari said as she turned and filed the ever-growing mountain of paperwork building on her desk before she turned around with a notebook in her hand. "Oh and you have a meeting with you marriage counselors in two weeks. Sorry!" she smiled at him despite the fact that Gaara was death glaring her.

-Week Three-

Hannah sighed as she stared at the same spot on her ceiling. After Ethan finally calmed down enough to talk too, he figured out with Hannah that if he behaved well they would let him out on good behavior. Of course, he used this to him advantage and got out two days earlier. Hannah was still recovering and getting up to move didn't help. She sighed as the door opened and sat up in her bed, her side screaming in protest as she moved, as Kiba and Ethan entered. Hannah smiled at them as they walked up to her bed.

"What's the surprise? You two never visit." Hannah asked the smile still on her face although her tone was serious. Kiba of course returned the smile while Ethan answered her.

"Kiba is in some trouble with both Hinata and Naruto. He punched Naruto in the face and is trying to lie low." Hannah nodded and widened her eyes as she turned to Kiba. Kiba ducked his head in embarrassment as Hannah laughed.

"Hey why aren't you out of the hospital yet? I mean flower boy over here is!" Kiba exclaimed jerking a thumb in Ethan's direction. Ethan glared at Kiba as Hannah smiled at the nickname. Ethan having a crush on Ino had been helping her in the flower shop so Ethan was indeed a flower boy.

"Um... because I didn't heal right. I had was having the pains in the operating room so that just made it ten times worse. Also, Kiba, stop trying to change the subject!" Hannah shouted at Kiba who rubbed the back of his head his cheeks turning a rosy pink as Ethan laughed. There was a loud bark, as Akamaru appeared whimpering as Kiba sighed and walked over to his giant dog.

"You know it was actually Hinata screaming at him. Naruto just stood there trying to make sense of everything." Ethan said as Kiba scratched Akamaru's head and Hannah laughed. Kiba shook his head his cheeks turning a slight pink as he turned to they couldn't see.

"Man you must have left a mark or something! Hinata really got that mad!" Hannah exclaimed as Kiba smiled shyly and looked away. Ethan watched and took note of the slight redness of Kiba's cheeks that wasn't his clan markings. Ethan fought off another sigh building in his chest at the thought of Kiba having a crush on his sister.

"She's not that mad! It's not like the time Neji almost killed Naruto when he saw them kiss!" Kiba said as they both laughed at the incident with the red-faced Neji and the face of Naruto who was scared to death.

"That was the best fight I ever saw!" Hannah said giggling as her eyes grew heavy and she yawned. Ethan blinked and tapping Kiba on the shoulder, he gestured to the door. Kiba nodded and turned toward the door waiting for Ethan.

"Well Hannah we got to find another hiding place for the mutt." Kiba glared at the back of Ethan's who smiled at Hannah ignoring Kiba's glare. "You get better okay bye!" Ethan shouted as he raced out the room with Kiba hard on his heels.

Hannah sighed as she wiggled back under her sheets tired and disappointed to be missing the action. She stared at the ceiling again and wondered if Gaara was just a bored as she was. She doubted it however since she wasn't there to help keep the fan girls away and he got to train unlike her. With another sigh and rolled over as sleep found her once more.

-Week Four-

Gaara frowned as the marriage counselors entered his office. He could tell by their expressions that they were not in a pleasant mood. He quietly sighed with the fact if knowing this wasn't going to be good at all. He waited patiently as they sat in the chairs and got comfortable. Gaara wondered what they were going to yell at him about this time.

"Lord Gaara... it's time." one said he was a fat man with a red nose betraying his love for sake.

The fat man's name was Zon and he had thinning hair if any and had thick graying eyebrows. He always wore a sad expression, though he told jokes very often. The other marriage counselor was a women, who was thin and almost the exact opposite of the man. She had her hair tied but in a blonde bun on the back of her head. She wore black square glasses and had a serious expression on her face. Despite the jokes, her partner told Gaara had never seen her smile. Her name was Hirake, while both the marriage counselors wore black pants with a white shirt. The only other color for their outfit was a sea green pin of the left shoulder. The color of the pin was a shade darker than Gaara's eye color and the exact same color of the Kazekage's hat.

"For what?" Gaara asked as he stared at them as Zon shifted under Gaara's gaze while Hirake continued to sit up straight.

"For you to choose your bride of course." Hirake said softly to Gaara's surprise although he masked it well. Gaara looked back at Zon who nodded his large head in agreement to the women.

"No we agreed when I turned eighteen." Gaara said as he waited for their reply as both of them growing tenser as the discussion continued.

"No Lord Gaara, the Akatsuki are growing stronger and Lady Chiyois not here to save you this time. We need you to be married sooner than later." Zon protested while Gaara fought the urge to shout back. He quietly took a deep breath as he looked away from them to the door. Gaara knew what he needed to do and he just hoped it wasn't bad.

"Fine bring the girls you want me to marry. I will meet each of them now." Gaara said his tone final as both Zon and Hirake nodded and walked out the room leaving the now angry and upset Kazekage behind.

Gaara glared at all the people in the room although there was no one in it yet. He waited patiently for all girls handpicked by the marriage counselors for their beauty, family, politics, and most importantly wealth. Gaara sighed as he waited for them and wished he was somewhere else. He knew he had to stay though because his village was more important than any of his feelings. He knew that he had to do this since he was the Kazekage and he was determined to be a good one.

Six girls entered with the numbers one to six pinned on their gowns with no real names. The first one was practically a stick with straight straw-colored hair pale skin and grey eyes, as she wore a dark forest green dress covered everything to Gaara's relief and looked about Temari's age.

Gaara also. She had orange hair that ended at her shoulders and had big brown eyes and a slight tan to her complexion. She wore a deep blue dress that showed a little too much skin than what Gaara was used too.

Numbers three though five all had brown hair although number four's hair was curly and they all had the same dark lush skin. Number three's eyes where green while numbers four's and five's eyes where blue and they all wore a light pink dress that was a size too small. They all where about Kankuro's age and looked maybe even older than that.

Gaara's eyes traveled to the last girl who was number six. Number six had light green hair and pink eyes and sun-kissed skin that made Gaara feel unsettled even more about the girl's appearance as he looked away uncomfortably. She wore a bright red dress that showed off the un-natural pink in her eyes. She looked about Gaara's age or a year younger unlike number two who looked about thirteen.

Zon and Hirake entered after all the girls took their places in front of Gaara. A heavy silence hung in the air as some of the girls shifted occasionally out of boredom. Gaara turned to the marriage counselors as they looked at him with excitement. Gaara gave his head the slightest shake and to his surprise, Zon caught. Dismissing all the girls the marriage counselors ran over to Gaara who gave them a blank stare.

"So which is the lucky girl?" Zon asked smiling as Hirake said nothing but just looked at Gaara who just shook his head and Zon frowned.

"I don't want to marry any of them." Gaara replied blankly as he turned toward the door while Hirake stepped in his way as he tried to escape.

"Lord Gaara forgive me but you need to decide here and now who you want to marry!" Hirake commanded as Gaara finally snapped and he could only reminded himself not to shout as he said he replied.

"Matsuri." Gaara said, he said the first name that came into his head. Gaara was surprised by both his answer and the fact he actually gave a reply to the question. If anything Gaara was sure that it would be Hannah's name, he would say since she had been on his mind recently. He reasoned that soon he would have to go to training and thought of Matsuri's name because of that.

"Very well then you will marry this Matsuri in two weeks! September 21, is your wedding date now don't be late." Hirake said shoving Gaara out the door before he could object. Gaara stood and blinking his head in a fog as one thought came to mind on his walk back to the office.

'September 21... that's the week before Susie's birthday…' Gaara thought as he walked into the mansion were Temari paused noticing her baby brother's unfocused eyes. Tapping his shoulder Gaara turned to her as Temari blinked in surprise at the blank stare Gaara gave her.

"Gaara are you all right?" Temari asked cautiously as Gaara shook his head. Temari had a sinking feeling that whatever made Gaara like this had to be bad.

"I'm getting married…to Matsuri," Gaara said before something took over him and he ran leaving a shocked Temari screaming before running off to find Kankuro.

-Week Five-

Hannah gaped at the small tiny card in her hand as Ethan ran around the room yelling. Ethan had come by to give Hannah the letter and had read it over his sister's shoulder. Both the twins wore the same shocked expression before Ethan started to run around and Hannah occasionally just said what. Both unsure of what to do with the card or how to response to what it said.

"You see this is what happens! This is what happens whenever we leave! First Hinata almost lost Naruto to Pain then Gaara get's engaged before he's twenty!" Ethan shouted as Hannah looked up wide-eyed at him before she reread the card for the hundredth time.

The card said this:

Dear Hannah Torres,
We would like to welcome you to the wedding of
Gaara Sabaku & Matsuri Yama
On September 21
Please wear something formal
We will be expecting you to be there!
-Signed
The Sand Village

Hannah blinked as she looked at the paper. She knew the card was legit thanks to her mother for being a wedding planner. Hannah leaned back against her pillows and stared at the ceiling. She felt happy that Gaara was getting married but she knew that it was all wrong. Gaara was only 16 and he was getting married to Matsuri. It was wrong, all wrong, Gaara was supposed to marry someone he loves. He also shouldn't be forced into something he doesn't want to do.

Ethan paused and looked at the pained face of Hannah. This time though Ethan was pretty sure that Hannah was hurting from something else other than her physical pain. He quickly came to his sister's side and gently took her hand. Hannah looked up at her brother as her eyes began to get heavy. The sedatives the nurse put in earlier had started to kick in now despite the fact she was going to be out in less than a week.

"Ethan I... I'm not sure what to do!" Hannah cried in uncertainty as Ethan gave her a small smile to reassure her as Hannah gave a small yawn.

."I know! Were going to stop the wedding, bust some heads, and get Gaara back!" Ethan shouted as Hannah smiled in agreement before falling into a peaceful sleep. Ethan quickly snuck out and he sighed as he walked out of the hospital and looked to the setting sun in the color-streaked sky.

'Hannah those feelings you have for I hold the same ones for Ino.' Ethan thought as he walked home to report Hannah's current condition to their busy mom as well as Gaara's predicament.

-Week Six-

Gaara sighed as he looked down from where he stood at the altar. Half the village had turned up to see him get marry and almost all of them where crying. Kankuro stood by his side with his hair combed his face clear of paint with no hat. Kankuro gave Gaara a reassuring smile though Gaara didn't feel reassured about anything as he waited in his black suit for Matsuri to appear. He didn't want to marry Matsuri in fact…he didn't want to be married at all. He wanted to groan but he took a small breath and held it in masking his feelings for the sake of his village.

That was when the music started to play that Gaara knew it was a death march to the end of his life. Gaara wondered what would go first Hannah or his job. He had a feeling that Matsuri would probably make him stop being Kazekage because they couldn't spend any time together, that and the job involved Hannah as well. He swallowed and looked down the aisle with a blank stare as his future darkened with the lights.

Matsuri smile as she walked down the aisle in her long flowing white dress. It was simple blank fabric at first and showed her curves but quickly transformed near her waist into a large puff. It reminded Gaara of a large pastry that overflowed while in the middle of baking. Matsuri smile faltered a bit as she noticed the look in her soon to be husbands eyes. He didn't look happy or even in love with her. He just stared at her as though she was no one special. Matsuri let herself wonder a bit if he would look that way if it was Hannah marching down the aisle instead of Matsuri herself.

'No I will not let her ruin this for me! This is my day so screw Hannah! After our honeymoon I will show Gaara just how much he loves me!' Matsuri thought despite the things that were going on in her head that no one needed to see or hear. She held her head up a bit more her smile brighten as she held her white roses higher and almost ran to the altar.

The ceremony started as Hannah entered the Sand Village with Ethan by her side who stopped and pointed to where the card said it would be held. Hannah nodded and sneaking around the back found their way inside. Just in case someone had sent the card by accident to Hannah as they climbed in the window. Hannah smiled as she raced quietly through the halls with Ethan besides her. But with each step, her legs grew heavier and her body protesting with them as she ran but she pushed on. It was her turn to save Gaara this time.

"...And does anyone object to the union of Sabaku no Gaara and Matsuri Yama? Speak now or forever hold your peace!" The priest ordered, as everyone stayed silent a single voice rang out over the crowd. Gaara fought the urge to jump with relief as Matsuri screamed in protest.

"Actually I disagree!" The voice called as Hannah steeped out from behind a pillar. Ethan followed closely behind as everyone murmured in shock. The Leaf Village had just interrupted a Sand Village wedding!

"It's nice to see you again Gaara!" Hannah said smiling smugly at Gaara before Matsuri screamed once again.

Oooh! So how many people thought it was Matsuri he was going to marry? And it wasn't that big of a twist that Hannah was going to stop the wedding though! Lastly I hoped you enjoyed! XD Until next time! Bye!
