Author's Notes: Hey! Thanks for reviewing on my other chappie! I would just like to say thank you to all the reviewers who reviewed. Even though I did get a flame, but that's okay! I still am grateful though. I will work better! I kinda thought that the last chapter was lame a bit, but I did my best. So I hope that you like this next chappie!

Chapter 2:

"Gomenasai, Ino-san," said Hinata as the two girls walked out of the ball room and outside. Some people were outside talking also. It was the evening time. "I must have acted so childish, huh?" She brought her two index fingers together.

"Geez, Hinata!" said Ino," Don't call me with such formalities, okay? Just Ino." Ino looked at Hinata as she nodded. "Also. You shouldn't apologize too much for something so simple as that. Believe me, Kakashi-sensei is a great guy, but he could have just brought in an extra chair to sit with us. Don't worry. You didn't hurt his feelings."

Hinata nodded as she heard this and could feel things being better. "I'm relieved than."

Ino stopped in front of Hinata and smiled," You should be! Now, just smile and we'll go introduce you to the two newlyweds. You haven't seen them have you?"

Hinata shook her head," No. Gaara has never talked to me about his friends to me before. I was pretty surprised when he knocked at my door and told me to get ready for his sister's wedding. He hardly spoke to me about you guys."

"Oh," said Ino and they decided to stand and talk," Well, that's how Gaara's always been. Ever since we met him, Temari, and Kankurou, they have always distanced themselves from us. Gaara especially. We all met in the beginning of high school. Though Shikamaru, Temari, and Kankurou were older. I was pretty surprised tonight when he introduced you to us last week at Shino's place. But his sister Temari and Shikamaru weren't there."

"Really?" said Hinata, surprised a bit.

Ino nodded," Uh-huh. Gaara is so quiet that sometimes it was hard for us to talk and let him open up to us." Ino than gave a wink to Hinata," But he seems to really like you, Hinata."

Hinata shook her head immediately," Oh no! It's not that, really. You see, I've only known him for a month, really. So there's nothing really he could like me for."

"But how did you meet?" asked Ino, curiously," I mean. There must have been something he saw in you to ask you out."

Hinata shook her head sadly," No, not at all. Our 'relationship' is actually set up by his father and my father."

"Oh. Really," said Ino, now understanding the whole situation," I see now." She then notice Hinata's face getting redder and redder. Man, she really blushed a lot. Ino smiled.

"C'mon, Hinata, let's go back inside. The wedding is probably happening right now."

"Hey, guys!" exclaimed Shikamaru as he greeted the guys at the table.

"Hello, brother," said Temari. She was dressed in a white gown that had two thick straps on her shoulders. Her wavy blonde hair was tied in a bun and a butterfly clip was on it. She was holding Shikamaru's arm. She looked at Gaara as he only nodded at her.

"Hey, Shikamaru," said Kiba and gave a thumbs up," Where's your best man Chouji?"

"He is at the food table," said Shikamaru," It seems that he got really hungry after putting on his suit."

"Where is Temari's maid of honor?" asked Shino, looking at Temari.

"She isn't here," said Temari looking around. "Where's Ino?"

"She went to take Hinata-san out for some fresh air," said Sasuke. He sipped some of his champagne.

"Hinata?" said Shikamaru.

"He is my little brother's girlfriend," said Temari," you know, the one girl I told you about."

"Oh, yeah, I remember," said Shikamaru and nodded. He looked at Gaara curiously.

"Temari!" exclaimed Ino as she hugged her friend.

"Ino!" said Temari smiling, hugging back," So nice to see you."

"I haven't seen you all evening," said Ino. She then let go and examined Temari," See! I told you that wedding dress looked wonderful on you!"

Temari blushed a bit," Arigatou, Ino."

"It's too bad that Naruto couldn't make it," said Gaara looking at the rest of the gang," Seems he was out in Hokkaido with some work."

"Yeah," said Kiba," I haven't seen Naruto ever since-" He then stopped. He knew what had happened but didn't want to say it. Everyone on the table grew silent.

"Ohayou, Temari-san."

Everyone turned to look and saw Hinata bowing. Temari looked surprisingly at her as the girl bowed near Ino and her.

"My name is Hinata Hyuuga, but it seems that we have not met yet," said Hinata, still bowing," I am very happy for you."

"You are my brother's girlfriend?" asked Temari, as everyone watched silently.

Hinata nodded," Hai." She then stood up straight and looked at Gaara, showing that through all the time, her cheeks were red.

"Well it's nice to meet you," said Temari and smiled," This is my fiancé Shikamaru."

"Nice to meet you, Hinata," said Shikamaru and smiled as the two shook hands.

Hinata smiled as she looked at him," Nice to meet you, too."

"Well, we will be seeing you guys later," said Temari," We have to begin the show, won't we?" She looked at Shikamaru lovingly and the two left.

"I guess that I should be going too," said Ino and followed," Being the maid of honor after all."

"See ya," said Kiba," Don't break a leg!" Ino stuck out her tongue.

"Wait for me, Sasuke," said Ino and she waved and left. Hinata went slowly to her seat next to Gaara.

"Ooh, Sasuke," said Kiba," When are you going to ask Ino out? She seems to really like you." He gave her a sly look. (I'm really making Kiba annoying, huh? )

"Shut up, Kiba," said Sasuke," I don't have time for girls."

"That's what they all say," said Kiba shrugging a bit," But guys like that fall hard for a girl easily when they really see a girl they like."

"Tch!' said Sasuke, uninterested," Don't make dumb jokes." He looked at the stage as Temari, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji came to the stage ready to begin the ceremony.

The vows were given and the two lovers kissed. They were finally married.(Yay! )

There were now a lot of dancing and laughing in the ceremony.

"Let's go dance, Sasuke," whined all these bunch of girls around Sasuke's table.

"Yeah! Just one dance!"

"For your one and only, please?"

Ino began to fume as she sat on the table around these girls.

"Gosh!" exclaimed Ino, looking at the girls with her evil eyes," Leave Sasuke alone! He doesn't want to dance with you okay!"

Sasuke only kept eating his food as he ignored the girls' demands.

"Leave me alone," said Sasuke, calmly," You don't want me to break your bones do you?" He hated it when girls always did this to him at every party he went to.

"Stop joking with us!" they all exclaimed," We know you are the really sweet guy underneath it all!" They smiled as they said this.

Suddenly Sasuke grabbed a girl's arm and placed it around her back and was beginning to twist it," Do you want me to do this to you all?" he finally let go as all of the girls walked away, a bit terrified.

"Sasuke, you shouldn't treat women like that," said Shino.

The discussion was suddenly dismissed as Shikamaru and Temari and Chouji went to greet their friends.

"Hey, guys!" said Shikamaru happily," How are you guys enjoying the wedding party?"

Kiba smiled," Great! The food's awesome."

Temari smiled," Really? Well. Considering we did have Japan's best chef cater at this wedding."

Shikamaru sighed," Hah. You're right, dear. You guests better like it or I'm suing you all for the money we had to give him to cater."

"The food is delicious!" exclaimed Chouji happily," But a bag of potato chips are better!"

"Why you!" said Shikamaru, holding a fist," Do you know how much I paid for the food tonight?"

The group chuckled at the sight. Shikamaru had been friends for a long time. They were really close even though they argued a lot.

"Ay," said Temari, nudging Shikamaru in the arm," Let's go sit with your parents. I think it would be nice to talk to them."

Shikamaru nodded," Okay! Bye you guys."

"See ya!" commented Temari, and she gave a wink to Gaara and Hinata.

Hinata blushed. She then felt an arm around her shoulders and she looked up in surprise to see Gaara with his arms around her.

"Don't be surprised," said Gaara, in his cold emotionless voice," We are a couple after all." He didn't even make eye contact with her as he looked around. The rest of the gang looked at the two people.

"This must be Gaara's new girlfriend, ne?" said Chouji, and he smiled," You're cute, missy!"

Hinata felt her blush grow redder," Oh! I'm not really!" She then felt Gaara's arm push her in closer and she blushed more. It seemed Gaara was trying to secure her with is arm.

"Gaara," whispered Hinata in her soft voice," Your friends are watching."

The gang watched as Gaara gave them all cold looks. He looked at each one of his friends. Especially the guys. He looked at Kiba and he shuddered. Shino was sweating a bit. He then turned to Sasuke. He was ignoring them and ate a piece of meat on his fork. He seemed like he didn't care.

Gaara raised an eyebrow. He then slid his arm off of her and went back to staring at the food. Not interested anymore.

Hinata slowly moved back into her own space, still red with embarrassement. She always had problem with Gaara. It was as if he would do things that she wouldn't expect. But it wasn't that he was a bad guy after all, right? Gaara and she were forced to be together. 'Besides,' thought Hinata, looking at her food,' I have never fallen in love before.'

Author's Notes: Hey! This was quite a long chapter. I know it didn't have a lot of Sasuhina fluff, but love doesn't happen so quickly, right? But I assure you that Sasuke and Hinata will have a more better greeting than these last two chapters. Review please!
