"Hyuuga-teichou, it has come to my attention that for the past couple of days Sakura has been in your house hold would you please explain this to me" Jiraiya said leaning on his hands looking at the Hyuuga in front of him.
"Forgive me Jiraiya-sama, but according to Sakura, I mean Sakura-teichou, Sabaku-teichou and her are not in the best of conditions. I'm sorry I cannot stand by and watch a friend of mine suffer. Please marry her to me she is my friend I will treat her right" Neji said wanting to help his friend.
"NEJI!" Jiraiya yelled making him jump slightly. "Both you and I know your feelings for her are only as friends, a marriage is more then just friendship and you already have your one to protect, there is a reason I choose to place those two together. They both have much to learn about each other remember your duty you cannot protect two of my flowers"
"You agreed to protect your cousin, you seem to lack trust in my decisions" Jiraiya said standing up and walking around his desk.
Neji stood up straight and shook his head. "I am sorry Jiraiya-sama, I was out of line, and I just don't want Sakura in this position,"
"And I will talk to Sabaku-teichou, for now please go get Sakura-teichou for me" he said smiling. Neji bowed and turned towards the door. He opened it to see Gaara standing there. The two glared at each other for a moment before Neji left and Gaara entered.
The door closed behind him as he took up the spot Neji had just been in. "You called Jiraiya-sama?" he said respectfully.
"Obviously by yours and Neji's little glare fest back there I'm almost positive you know why I have called you" Jiraiya laughed a bit walking beside him.
"It's about Sakura, right?" he said looking at him through the corner of his eye. Jiraiya nodded and rested a hand on his shoulder.
"Gaara, I know it was an arranged marriage. And my reason for marrying you two made you think you didn't have to have feelings for her, but the fact that you disregard her completely . . . it bothers me"
"To have to hear about this problem from another Captain makes me very angry." Jiraiya said very seriously. "Not taking others feelings into consideration is NOT something one of my Captains should do. Tell me Gaara, tell me why I arranged your marriage" he said turning away from him.
"I was to be one of the protectors of the protectors; the four female Captains' were given a special gem that is part of the Isei stone. And you picked Hyuuga-teichou, Akasuna-teichou, Uchiha-teichou, and I to protect those four. And being the Captain of the highest status you ask me which one I would choose to protect," Gaara said looking down to the floor.
"And you choose Sakura, why? I haven't a clue but you choose her that day you made a commitment to me to protect the Cherry Blossom of the Captains, I gave my Sunflower to Akasuna-teichou, and Neji accepted protecting his cousin. And Uchiha-teichou agreed to watch over Tsunade."
"Now I may be old but I don't think that the meaning of marriage has changed and if it has please inform me" Jiraiya said looking at Gaara as he made his way to his desk and sat on the edge.
"No, sir it has not changed. These past few days I have been reviewing my attitude towards her more and more. I am willing to change but this is not how a Captain acts," he began kneeling down on one knee and placing his sword on the ground.
"I think it would be best to remove me from this position of honor for I do not deserve it" he said bowing his head and willing to accept a demotion.
Jiraiya looked very surprised as did Kakashi. The two looked at each other wondering if this was some trick of the mind. Jiraiya looked back down at Gaara and smiled a bit. He got up and placed a hand on Gaara's hair.
"Gaara, you are one of my best Captains you are strong and you have taught yourself to be humble and that is one of the most important qualities in a Captain. I would be a fool to dismiss you from the Captains" Jiraiya smiled.
Gaara looked up at him and nodded. "Now lets see if you really are willing to change" his smile turned to a smirk and he motioned for Kakashi. Gaara grabbed his sword and stood up seeing Kakashi walk over to the door.
He turned his head to the side to see Kakashi open the doors and Sakura was standing there. Sakura went wide eyed and shook as she saw her husband staring at her. 'I am so dead' she gulped and began walking forward. She could feel his gaze burning through her until she was standing right beside him.
Although when she caught a quick glimpse at his face he didn't look mad. He had that same look he had had those long years ago when he saved her from the hollow. That adorable, cute, confused look. Gaara looked forward at Jiraiya and thought he would be asked to leave but Jiraiya didn't say anything.
Jiraiya just stood there with his arms crossed smirking at the two. You could safely say uncomfortable and awkward was a HUGE understatement of the situation.
Gaara thought for a moment wondering if he was supposed to do anything until he realized what Jiraiya's look was for. He hesitantly turned to Sakura and Jiraiya's smirk only grew. He looked down at Sakura who looked at him for a moment before turning away.
She felt him grab both of her hand gently and then to her surprise he kneeled down on one knee and looked up at her. Sakura went wide eyed and wanted to know what the heck was going on.
"Sakura, I am so sorry for the way I have treated you. I don't know how you could ever forgive me for my wrong actions, but please give me another chance to show you I can be the husband you deserve," he said making her gasp and look over to Jiraiya. He nodded and smiled at her and she looked back down at Gaara.
"Of course I do Gaara-sama," she said but it was more like a whisper. He smiled a bit and stood up still holding her hands.
"And don't call me Gaara-sama anymore" he said giving her a soft look.
She blinked and smiled brightly and grabbed his Captain's coat and pulled him down to her and kissed him full on the lips. It took him a minute to register her action but before he could do anything he pushed her away and looked over at a quite shocked Jiraiya and Kakashi.
Sakura looked over to them as well and blushed madly now hiding behind Gaara. "Well, well seeing as this seems to be resolved I hope we don't have to deal with you two anymore, you two are quite a bother" he laughed.
"Ugh Jiraiya-sama, before I take my leave about that thing we discussed a few days ago," Gaara said making Sakura look up at him wondering what he was talking about.
"Ah yes, I most certainly think so, in fact Sakura what would you think on that matter?" Jiraiya asked a very confused Sakura. Gaara leaned down and whispered something in her ear and Sakura smiled.
"Of course I would vogue for that!" she said happily.
"It seems I get a response like that from everyone" Jiraiya laughed and then looked at the two, "now seriously you two are annoying me" he smiled.
Sakura smiled back and grabbed Gaara's hand practically dragging him out of the room. She let go once they were outside and walked happily in front of him.
'Does it really make her that happy?' he wondered to himself crossing his arms as he walked behind her. "So, Sakura your friend, Hyuuga-teichou does not seem to like me" he said looking at the back of her head.
Sakura looked back at him and smiled, "No he doesn't" she laughed and turned back to face the way she was walking. "He says 'Just because he is one of the strongest Captains, does not give him the right to walk around and act like he rules the world'" she yawned stopped and turned to him.
"But if you have power why not use it and act like you rule the world? At least that's what I think. He's just afraid of you and he was worried for me you know how friends are" Sakura said looking to the side.
"I suppose and why would Hyuuga-teichou be afraid of me?" Gaara wondered leaning against the red wooden railing.
"Well because you have the same facial expression for EVERYTHING" she said mimicking his unemotional face. "When some looks like this all the time it's kind of intimidating, not to mention the fact you are kind mean. But that's ok all you have to do is this a lot!" she walked over to him and put her hands on his face and pulling up his mouth into a smile.
Gaara laughed and grabbed her hands holding them once again; "I think you smile enough for the both of us" Sakura blushed and could not help but smile.
"Yes but I look pretty when I smile, don't I?" she asked trying to look all innocent. A small smirk came to his face and he sighed.
"Yes you are the most beautiful Shinigami in the world and Seireitei" he said making her smile even more. Sakura leaned in and rest her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
She looked up and rested her chin on his chest, "You know we've only kissed twice and we've been married quite a long time." Her fingers walked up his front and she placed her hand on his neck.
"And that is supposed to mean?" he asked, a smirk growing on his face.
"I think you know Sabaku-teichou," she whispered getting on her tippy toes and Gaara leaned down a bit.
"Sakura-teichou! There you are!" they both herd Ino's voice and Ino, Naruto, and Kiba came into view. Sakura sighed and just hid her face in his clothes. She turned her head to the side to see the four still placing her face against Gaara.
"Yes Ino?" Sakura asked trying not to sound angry.
"Well not to be rude Sakura-teichou, but your desk has accumulated a lot of paperwork these past couple days. Fooling around is not something I can allow you to do with all this work we have" she huffed looking at her Captain.
Sakura made a sour face and buried her head in Gaara's shirt again. "Make the mean lieutenant go away" she mumbled into him. Gaara laughed a bit as Ino steamed.
The blonde grabbed Sakura by the back of her Captain's coat and began dragging her, literally back to the 6th Squad building. "Nooooooo," Sakura whined digging her nails into the ground with anime tears running down her face.
Gaara, Kiba, and Naruto looked after her and sighed. "So what are you two doing?" Gaara asked.
"Looking for you," Naruto said.
Gaara looked at them questioningly waiting to hear why they were searching for him. Kiba smirked and held up a large bottle of sake. "We stole it from Tsunade-teichou's private stash" he snickered and Naruto nodded with a wild grin.
Gaara smirked, "You know if we drink this she'll kill us" he said looking around. "That is if she finds out it was us" he joined Kiba in his snickering.
Kiba hide it back under his Captain's coat and they made a run for the 8th Squad building.

The next Afternoon . . .
The 21 Captains stood in the two parallel rows facing each other with their lieutenants not far behind them. "I am sure you are all wondering why I have called this special meeting to where both my Captains and lieutenants are to be present," Jiraiya began.
"This is both a very joyous day and a solemn day, first Uchiha Sasuke please come forth." He said and he stepped forward from his spot and walked up to Jiraiya and awaited.
"Some information has lead me to some very serious decisions to make Uchiha Sasuke, you have been demoted and are being replaced with a more suitable and string Captain" he said holding his hand out.
Sasuke was a bit wide eyed and looked down at the outstretched hand. His gaze hardened into a glare and he grabbed the Captain's coat and pulled it out and shoving it harshly into Jiraiya's hands.
Sasuke turned around and stormed out with many pleased looking Captains. "Now one and only one of my lieutenants will take this new opening in the 13 Captains. I have had a lot of thought about this because all of you lieutenants are almost all too amazing. But I have come to a decision, this lieutenant was recommended by quite a few of my Captains." Jiraiya said with a smile on his face.
"This lieutenant was recommended by the following; Uchiha-teichou, Deidara-teichou, Inuzuka-teichou, Sakura-teichou, Sabaku-teichou, and Hyuuga-teichou. I can sense this person will bring us great things in the future," he said smirking as all the lieutenants looked around at each other wondering which of them it was.
"Please welcome our new Captain of the 5th division, Uzumaki Naruto" he finally announced and everyone looked to the completely shocked man.
"Are you kidding me?!" he practically shouted. Deidara laughed a bit and Naruto stumbled forward. He stood in front of Jiraiya and he held out the white coat to him. Naruto was wide eyed and stared down at it. "But how? Why? You don't even know if I can use Bankai" Naruto said nervously.
"Your Captain has mad it very clear that you indeed can and use very well your Bankai. Naruto Sabaku-teichou has been pushing this promotion on me for a while. If he thinks you are ready I am positive you are" Jiraiya laughed waiting for Naruto to take the coat.
Naruto looked over at Gaara who smiled a bit and nodded. Naruto smiled and tiered up. Gaara paled as Naruto jumped at him tackling him in a hug. Gaara twitched and Tsunade and Hinata laughed. Sakura leaned forward to look at them muffling her laughter as some of the others were shocked.
"Oh Sabaku-teichou I had no idea you had so much respect for me!!! You are the greatest there is no one that has more of my loyalty then you!!" he shouted.
"Naruto if you are loyal to me then GET OFF!!" the red head glared and Naruto got up and Gaara stood on his own fixing his clothes. "Jeez Naruto I didn't know you would have a heart attack," he huffed and crossed his arms.
Naruto smiled and looked over at Hinata who gave him a small smile. He turned around and went back to Jiraiya and bowed. Naruto grabbed the coat and slide it on loving the feeling of being a Captain.
"I now officially name you, Uzumaki Naruto, Captain of the 5th division. The new Uzumaki-teichou" Jiraiya said loudly getting applause from the audience of 26.
Naruto grinned and gave them all thumbs up. "Now all my Captains for this momentous day we shall have a celebration! At 7 tonight we will have a huge festival. You are all dismissed with the exception of my female lieutenants and Captains" he called and the rest of them left with girls only in the room.
"I have a special job for you ladies" Jiraiya rubbed his hands together and laughed.
-
All the Captains and lieutenants with the exception of the woman sat at dispersed tables with candles on them. There was a small stage and Jiraiya walked onto the middle and waved. "Hello all, I would like to let you all enjoy this wonderful performance put together by some very attractive ladies. The girls of the Shinigami Captains and lieutenants" he smiled and started the applause as he stepped off and the curtains drew back.
Five Girls all in different colored kimonos with fans that matched hiding their faces. Suddenly music started and they all shut their fans. Shizune stood in the middle in a dark navy blue kimono, Temari was beside her in a light purple one, and Tenten was on the other side of Shizune in a dark green one. Ino was beside Tenten in a light blue and Hanabi was on the other side of Temari in a grey kimono.
As the music went on the dance became more elaborate and went on and on. It was indeed fascinating and none could tear their eyes away. Then the lights around them went black and they stood still as statues.
A dim light lit in the back to show four figures. It grew brighter to show the same style, the four with their fans covering their faces. The one on the end on the right side was in a pink kimono and beside her was a yellow kimono. Beside the yellow was a blue and then on the other end was a green.
Once again the music started and the four moved and did something even more elaborate then what had just been shown. The four Captains were defiantly showing they could be girly as well as fierce.
Soon after the rest started dancing and it was all in perfect sync. They all stopped in different poses until a different tune started and Sakura walked over and stood in front of the table Gaara was sitting out. She looked at him over the fan hiding her smirk.
"Sabaku-teichou, I choose you as my dance partner" she said with a mixture of sweet and sensual.
Gaara laughed a bit, "Excuse me?" he asked challenging her.
"Get your butt up here and dance with me" she repeated only this time with authority. Gaara shook his head and stood and let her drag him back. Hinata went and asked Naruto shyly having him only to accept. Tsunade asked Jiraiya himself and he gladly obliged. Deidara went over to her own red head and dragged him with her.
Ino walked up to Kiba and thanked god for the fan to hide her blush, "Inuzuka-teichou would you be as kind as to accept an invitation to dance?" she said just loud enough for him to hear.
Kiba grinned and stood up taking the blonde lieutenant's hand. "Oh course" he said pulling to his lips and kissing it. She blushed further and led his to the small stage.
"Uchiha-teichou, I was wondering if you would honor me with a dance." Shizune asked the head of the Uchiha clan. He looked up at her and stood up without saying a word.
"To ask me such a question," he smiled lightly and looked down at her. "I would like to get to know the 2nd division's lieutenant a lot better" he said walking with her.
"Come on Shika-teichou!" Temari smiled dragging him out with her. She just shook his head at his lieutenant, man she was crazy. Hanabi walked to Kankuro and asked him getting a yes.
Tenten stood nervously in front of her Captain, "Hyuuga-teichou I would like to ask you to join me in the ugh dance" she blushed waiting for his answer.
Neji stared at his lieutenant; this was strange he didn't know she was interested in him that way. "Of course Tenten," he said getting up and taking her hand.
As the music continued much dancing went on until late in the evening. Soon everyone was situated and they had pushed all the tables together to make a giant one. "Kisssssssssame," Itachi smiled and laid on him, "You're so -hic- blue. It's amazing, I don't -hic- understand how you can turn green and blue at the same time" he said obviously drunk.
"Not as amazing ass that -hic- second head of Temari's" Kiba fell forward landing on the table and laughing.
"Oh Kiba-sama let me help -hic- you" Ino said drowsily trying to sit him up right when her own vision was swirling.
Kiba lay his head on her shoulder and looked up at her, he sat up almost right and blurted out "You are so -hic- freakin' hot, I just want to take you now" he said pouncing Ino and they started kissing madly.
"Dude, not -hic- here" Naruto said falling backwards and straight asleep.
"Mmmmm Gaaaaaaaaaara," Sakura slumped over onto him. "You know we -hic- haven't done anything like that yet" she said moving her hand into his shirt.
"Ssssssakura, we" he yawned and slumped onto her falling asleep.
Jiraiya and Kakashi stood on the small stage and sighed. "Sir, maybe this wasn't such a good idea, they're all so wasted that Hyuuga-teichou thinks he's a fairy princess on a journey to candy mountain" Kakashi sighed.
"Don't eat the GUMDROPS!" Neji yelled standing on the table. Everyone looked at him and stared.
"Whoa Neji when did you get purple hair?" Deidara grinned swaying a bit and knocking down two bowls of soup. "And who keeps yelling Excalibur?" she asked no one and began looking around.
"NOT THE CHOCOLATE MOUNTAIN!" Neji ran and hit a wall hitting the floor and passing out.
"Nooooooo!" Hinata and Tenten yelled. "The princess is dead!" they both cried over Neji's unconscious body. "Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!" they shook their heads mourning over the dead princess.
"Oh yea this was a really bad idea," Jiraiya sighed as he took out his sword. "Crush Hikigama," he said and it grew twice as large and the blade split at the end.
"Bankai," he yawned and a huge toad appeared. "Gamabunta I need you to take my Captains and lieutenants home and make sure they are alright" Jiraiya said and then the toad got to work.
"Good night Kakashi I will see you in the morning and hopefully no one will be dead" he laughed and exited the room leaving Kakashi to help Gamabunta.
