So here is 2 chapters. Hope it makes up for my lack of posting.

"Ms. Haruno can we uh speak about a few days ago?" Haru had stayed after class again. No surprising especially since he witnessed what happened between Gaara and I.

"Sorry about that Haru. You shouldn't have witnessed it and I should have let you leave."

He looked a little nervous. "No it's um okay. Just are you and the Kazekage dating?"

I knew he was going to ask that but I still wasn't prepared for it. "It's um complicated. Just please don't spread anything about this or what you witnessed okay?" Gaara and I had decided to fully try dating but we weren't entirely open about it either.

Haru gave me a concerned look. "Okay." He looked like he wanted to say more but instead walked away. I really hope he didn't tell anyone because the situation was so complicated.

"Sakura hurry up already." Temari poked her head in to my classroom.

"Sorry just finishing things up." I locked my desk and followed Temari.

"Are you excited?" Temari was taking me kimono shopping for Gaara and I's first date. We were going to a Suna festival. It would be less suspicious if we went together since I was still a foreign shinobi.

"No." I really wasn't.

"Why not? This is your guys first official date." Temari was much happier about this than me.

"Just we are hiding everything. I know I am a Shinobi and lying is practically part of my job, just I thought things would be different when I got pregnant. I thought I would be able to celebrate it but instead I am hiding it from everyone, I'm miles away from my closest friends and family, and I have to constantly look over my shoulder because who knows when I will be attacked again."

An arm draped itself over my shoulder. "I know it is hard Sakura but we are here for you. Hopefully you and Gaara figure this all out so we can celebrate properly." She dragged me into a store. "For now let us find you a kimono."

"Alright." Temari had way too much fun dressing me up.

"So what colors do you normally wear?" She was digging through racks trying to find one she deemed perfect.

"Um my Konoha outfit is normally red." People were always surprised that I wore red considering my hair was pink. I was just thankful that kimonos could be made a little looser to help hide my stomach.

"Hm." Temari had a couple stacked on a table. The fabric looked much pricier than I normally would wear. "Here." She pushed me towards the dressing room.

The first one was a dark green kimono with a swirling pattern of a lighter green on it and the second was a red kimono with sakuras on them. "Temari I prefer this one."

"Show me then." I walked out from behind the curtain and saw her eyes light up. "This is definitely the one. He is going to love it."

"I hope so." I was honestly nervous. This would be our first "date". We had talked about it in the past but things kept getting in the way. "We should pay for this then."

"Don't worry about it. I already took care of it."

"Are you sure?" This kimono was very expensive. It was a high quality silk and the dyes were very pure so the colors were rich.

"Perks of being Gaara's sister. Now let's go get some food."

A whole day had passed since we bought the kimono but with how much prep we had to do for the festival it felt like so much longer. Temari went all out with me it felt like. She may not seem it but she had a girlier side like most of us. Maybe it was just the fact that it dealt with her baby brother. My nails were painted green to match the tie of my kimono and she somehow found a sakura necklace that was a similar shade of pink to the flowers on the kimono.

"Ow!" Temari was doing my hair and at this moment she was yanking it all up into a bun.

"Oh stop complaining. It can hurt that much."

"You are yanking all my hair out of my head."

"I am not." She put a couple pins in my hair and stepped back. "There you can stop complaining now."

I turned and looked in the mirror. My hair which by now had grown to past my shoulders was pulled in to a tight bun with a few strands that Temari curled framing my face. My face had no makeup except for a slight gloss on my lips. The kimono was tied to show just a little of the top of my breast where the necklace nestled in my cleavage. She made sure to tie it in such a way that it hid my ever growing belly.

"We can't keep him waiting." She gently nudged me towards the door of her room where we got ready. Temari had made sure to hide everything from Gaara because she wanted it to be a surprise.

I took a deep breath and headed down the stairs. I was embarrassed because Gaara was intently staring at me. He was dressed in his normal Kage robes but his eyes glowed when they looked at me.

My cheeks turned red. Gaara wasn't much for words but the way he looked at me caused butterflies to take flight in my stomach. "Sorry that took so long." He didn't say anything in return. He just held out his arm for me to take.

No matter how perfect I wanted this night to go a feeling that something would go wrong just wouldn't disappear.
