A/n: Well it took me a while to write this chapter because I was working really hard on my other story Crisis, I love them both so much it's hard to decide which one to work on well I worked really hard on this chapter so R&R please!

"Hinata-chan I'm so sorry I'm late I ugh…I got caught up" Sakura lied, Hinata just smiled, "its ok Sakura-chan"

"So where do you want to go?" Sakura asked, "Well, I do know this restaurant, it is very nice" Hinata smiled, "that sounds good let's go there" Sakura said happily.

They walked into the restaurant and were greeted by a waiter, "oh hello Princess Hinata, I see you will be dining for two, and who might be your beautiful friend" he asked kindly.

"I'm princess Sakura, of the leaf nation" Sakura said proudly, he bowed "I am serving royalty tonight" he replied leading them to a table by the window.

"You know Hinata-chan, you are the nicest princess I've meet so far," Sakura stated taking a drink of her water, "you know that princess Ino from earth, and her husband Sasuke they're annoying"

"Thank you Sakura-chan, I also think you are the nicest I've meet" Hinata politely said, then the waiter brought them their food.

Being princess's they ate silently, for that was how they were taught, Hinata placed her chop sticks down and looked at Sakura.

Sakura placed her chop sticks down also, "what is it Hinata?" she asked looking worried, "well I was just wondering about you and lord Gaara," she said lowering her head.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked confused, "well I mean how did it happen?" she said even more nervous, "Oh…well I was on vacation and so was he, and we meet and we became friends well I guess a little more" Sakura blushed.

"Then I was supposed to marry him, but he didn't want to marry the princess of leaf, and it turned out he actually did want to marry me, but he signed me over to his brother…" Sakura looked down remembering him.

Hinata looked at her, "but then his brother wouldn't give me up so we ran away and we're getting married and we'll stay here for two years until we can go back to Sand" Sakura said now smiling.

"Oh" Hinata said, "well he does treat you right?" she asked fearing the answer, Sakura looked at her with confusion, "yes he does, oh don't worry Hinata everything will be ok" Sakura assured her.

Hinata smiled, "well I was just wondering, because I've known Gaara for a long time, and he can…he can be violent" Hinata stated.

Sakura just stared at her, "don't worry Hinata" she smiled, and they finished their meal, and then began their walk home.

Gaara walked down and sat on the couch, he looked up as he saw Neji enter the room, and Gaara just stared at him as he sat on the couch opposite from Gaara.

"Well Gaara you have a pretty little wife" Neji smirked; Gaara's glare intensified "what are you up to Neji?" Gaara demanded.

"Why what on earth do you mean?" Neji asked dumbly, "you know damn well what I mean" Gaara said irritated.

"Well I can't help if I'm attracted to her" Neji brushed off, Gaara stood up "I swear Neji you lay a finger on my Sakura, I will crush you beneath my sand" Gaara said angrily.

Neji gulped, 'Gaara would not hesitate either' he thought, "I'm sorry Gaara" Neji sighed, Gaara was taken back by these words, "I'm sorry I was planning to woo Sakura" he admitted.

Gaara was his friend and he couldn't do that to his friend, even if Sakura was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Thanks Neji" Gaara smirked, Neji returned the gesture, "so you wanna go prank on the elders there having a meeting right now" Neji's smirk grew.

Gaara laughed, "How we will never change", they both snuck off to their secret room above the meeting chamber.

Sakura and Hinata entered the large doors, they walked into the living area of the palace, and then they heard something and turned to their right.

Gaara and Neji were running at top speed towards them, "I told you not to do it!" Gaara yelled at Neji, "shut up!" he yelled back.

They ran right past Sakura and Hinata into the next hallway, the ran so fast a gust of wind swept by Hinata and Sakura, "I wonder what they're running from?" Sakura asked.

"They must have done it!" they heard a scream from behind them, they turned around, Hinata's eyes went wide, "Sakura run!" Hinata yelled dragging Sakura down the same hallway Gaara and Neji ran into.

They ran and went up some stairs and came up to the roof, they panted trying to get air, "stupid boys" Hinata muttered out.

"Hey we're not stupid!" Neji pouted, both the girls looked up to see Gaara and Neji, "you guys were planning tricks on the council members again weren't you?" Hinata asked kind of angry, well as angry as Hinata can get.

"So" Gaara out in, Sakura sweat dropped, "you almost got us in trouble" Sakura replied, "sorry" they both said.

They all looked down the hallway to see the coast was clear; they all walked into the throne room, "Gaara my nation has been a bit out of hand so I was wondering…" Neji trailed off.

"You want some help on putting it in order" Gaara finished, "I mean you just became leader of your nation, and I've been leader of mine for about 4 years"

"You were leader of Sand when you were 13?" Sakura asked amazed, "yes my sister refused to lead it unless emergency, like now, and my brother is too irresponsible" Gaara let out.

Neji nodded his head, "yes Gaara I would like you to help me run it for I guess two years" Neji shrugged.

Gaara nodded, soon a messenger ran in, "Master Neji!" he said running towards them, he stopped and bowed, "Lord Gaara"

"My lords, the nation of Sound has an army about 100 miles from our gates," he shrieked, Gaara and Neji went wide eyed.

"Get the army ready and I will send a message to Sand to bring mine and Temari's armies to assist" Gaara ordered.

Neji looked at Gaara, "what do you think they want this time?" Neji asked Gaara, "I don't know" he answered truthfully.

Hinata stepped forward, "Neji would about lord Naruto-kun he will be arriving later tonight?" Hinata asked worry written all over her face.

"Don't worry Hinata, Naruto is coming from the back way" Neji assured her, she nodded.

"Come Neji lets get ready, my army should get here by tomorrow" Gaara stated heading for his room, "wait Gaara it took us a week to get here" Sakura interrupted.

"Sakura there was someone following us and we had to lose them, my army is fast and stealthy, so they will have no trouble" he nodded.

Gaara and Neji then disappeared into the hallways, "well Hinata aren't you going to get ready?" Sakura asked beginning to walk out, Hinata nodded and headed for her own room.

Sakura walked in and saw Gaara in a red outfit with fishnet under his shirt, and his large gourd on his back.

She began taking out a light brown skirt, with a red shirt like her other one but shorter and metal shin plates and black hand gloves.

She began undressing and got into her other outfit, Gaara looked at her in confusion, "what are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm getting ready to fight with you" she stated, grabbing a katana, "no your not" he replied, she looked at him, "yes I am"

"I will not put you in danger" he said looking angry, "I'll be in more danger if I do nothing" she retorted, he stared at her intently, "fine, but you never leave my side" he said protectively.
