January 19th

It was Gaara's eighteenth birthday. Yea! It was their turn to go to the sand. When they reached his house, their mouths dropped.

"It's huge!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Did you forget, dobe, he's the Kazekage," Sasuke stated.

"Oh yeah. I'm going to have a house like this when I'm Hokage!" Naruto declared.

"Keep dreaming," Ino told him.

"Ohayo!" came a voice from the window of the house. It was Gasha, and she was waving, "Come on in!"

So, the Konoha ninjas walked up to the door and Gasha swung it open, out of breath. "Glad you could make it!" she shouted.

"We're right here, no need to scream," Shikamaru commented.

"Of course we came, Gasha-san, we wouldn't miss it," Sakura told the blonde.

"Come on in," Gasha said, allowing them access to the mansion.

"Oo," Naruto said in awe.

"Ke, you invited him?" questioned Temari coming out from upstairs.

"Well yeah," Gasha stated smiling at her sister-in-law-to-be.

"Gaara isn't going to like this," Kankurou mumbled from the couch.

Gasha pouted. "He will too, you watch," she stated crossing her arms.

"Where do we set the presents?" TenTen asked.

"On the table over there," Gasha instructed pointing.

"Gaara will be here soon," Temari said looking at her watch.

"Okay, everybody hide," Gasha clasped her hands together.

"You can't be serious," Neji complained.

"Dead serious, unless you want me tell Gaara-kun you were mean to me," Gasha grinned evilly.

"I'm not scared of your empty threats," Neji stated.

"What about mine?" TenTen questioned in a dark tone.

"I got behind the couch," Neji said quickly.

"Yea!" Gasha giggled in delight, shutting off the lights, everyone hiding.

"Get down!" Sakura demanded pulling Sasuke onto the floor. Shikamaru just collapsed onto the couch lazily.

There was the turning of a knob and a redheaded Kazekage walked in, turning on the light.

"Surprise!" screamed the people who knew how to party.

Gaara's sand became a shield around him. "What the hell?" he questioned.

"Relax, Gaarakins," Gasha said, his sand subsiding.

"What's going on?" Gaara asked his fiancée.

"A party," Gasha answered playing with Gaara's hair.

"A party?" Gaara questioned.

"A birthday party…for you, sweetie," Gasha replied poking his nose.

"Why?" Gaara asked another question his eyebrow upraised.

"Because I wanted to do something special for my favorite Kazekage," Gasha said.

Gaara looked at everyone else. He blinked.

"Happy Birthday!" Naruto shouted blowing a popper.

"Um…." Gaara trailed off.

Kiba sniffed the air. "Is something burning?"

They all sniffed the air. It smelt like smoke.

"Aahh, my cake!" Gasha bellowed running into the kitchen.

Everyone followed her into the spacious room.

Gasha opened the stove quickly and took out the cake, using her apron to blow out the flames.

"You ditz," Kankurou commented.

"Urusei!" Gasha said sticking out her tongue. She placed the cake on the counter and sniffed.

"Baka," Kankurou stated.

Gasha choked back tears at the sight of her burnt cake.

"You can't even cook, you're good for nothing. I warned you, Gaara," Kankurou stated.

"Shut up!" Gasha shouted starting to cry. "I'm a failure! I'm going to make a terrible wife!" She ran out of the room.

Gaara glared coldly at his brother. "See what you did, baka!" he spat and ran after his fiancée.

Temari whacked Kankurou upside the head. "Good going! You pissed him off! That was completely uncalled for!" she scolded.

"That wasn't nice," Naruto said his finger shaking at him.

Ino glared at Kankurou. "She was just trying to make Gaara's day special and you had to go and spoil it," she shouted.

"Uh, how troublesome," Shikamaru mumbled.

"Should we go check on her?" Sakura questioned.

"It's best to leave it to Gaara," Sasuke replied.

Gaara and Gasha's P.O.V.

Gasha was crying her face in her pillow. She heard the door open and someone sat on the bed beside her.

"I ruined your party," Gasha whined through tears.

"No you didn't," Gaara assured.

"Uh huh, I burnt your cake," Gasha pointed out.

"That doesn't matter," Gaara told her.

"What will I ruin next? You might as well marry another girl," Gasha cried.

"I could never do that," Gaara patted her back.

"Yes you could, you're irresistible," Gasha stated.

Gaara chuckled. "You don't know how wrong you are, babe," he said.

Gasha sat up. "Who wouldn't like you? You're the best guy ever," she said matter-of-factly.

Gaara smiled. "You're probably the only person that will ever say that," he stated.

"So you still love me?" she questioned wiping her tears.

"Of course," Gaara responded kissing her forehead.

"I'm all better now," Gasha stated.

"Good," Gaara said and grabbed her hand, "now let's go party." And with that said, they went downstairs.

"Is she done crying?" Neji questioned.

"Yeah, I'm good," Gasha stated smiling.

They all flinched. What was up with the mood swings? Maybe she had two personalities.

"Now, let's party," Gasha bounced across the room to a stereo.

"You listen to music, Gaara-san?" Hinata questioned confused.

Gaara shook his head. "It was Gasha's idea. She said I needed to party more," he replied.

Gasha nodded. "That's right I did. Let's dance." She blasted the stereo and swayed her hips. Naruto and Lee did their own things, and the girls started to dance themselves.

"No," Shikamaru muttered.

"Hell no," Neji stated shaking his head.

"No way am I dancing," Kankurou said sitting on a chair.

"Come on, Gaara-kun," Gasha waved to him.

"I don't think so," Gaara responded.

Gasha crossed her arms over her chest. "Be that way," she pouted and turned back to her friends.

When it was time to open presents, Gaara groaned. "Do I have to?"

Gasha smiled and nodded. "Yep yep yep."

Gaara sighed and opened his presents.

(Well, just think of some, a lot of things)

When Gasha gave him her present he whispered something in his ear and Gaara looked at her in disbelief. "Nani? Huh? Are you serious?" he questioned, confusing the onlookers.

Gasha smiled sweetly and nodded.

Gaara ran his hand through his hair. "Oh boy."

The others glanced at each other. "What is it?"

"Nothing," Gasha replied kindly, giggling.

You guys will have to wait to find out what it is. Happy Birthday Gaara-kun!

Next time: the big love day, Valentines!
