Not Capable
Chapter 2: Edible Food and Baby-sitters
When the door opened again Gaara was expecting Hinata, Kankuro, Temari, or Tsunade to come in, but instead he got some strange pinkish purple haired woman with navy blue eyes and a tight, white nurse uniform.
"Hi, I'm Amaya and I'm going to be your new nurse. You're the Kazekage-sama, right?" She asked in a high pitched voice. Gaara nodded slowly trying to grasp this new information.
"I'm…it's a pleasure to meet you, Kazekage-kun," She blurted out as she said his name. Gaara flinched, great, he'd have to put up with her. At least Lady Hinata wasn't some annoying fan girl.
"Where did that other nurse go, Hinata-san?" Gaara asked politely while trying to sound unconcerned. What he meant was, 'Get the hell out.'
"I'm your nurse when she's on her lunch break," the nurse explained bitterly, "That reminds me, you get your lunch now," she finished happily.
Gaara hadn't realized it, but he was pretty hungry, alright, he was starving.
Amaya dashed out of the room to get Gaara's lunch. This gave Gaara time to think about his several problems, starting with the fact that the sand village had no Kazekage at the moment. He could try to talk Tsunade into letting him leave, but he knew how stubborn she could be. He was left with only one other option; stay and let Kankuro and Temari take over Kazekage duties for a little while. He wasn't crazy about the idea, but it was his only option.
The second problem was the nurse. Amaya was a pain in the ass and there was no way he was going to put up with her for 30 minutes every day while Hinata was on break, so he'd just have to talk to Hinata about not taking a lunch break. Okay, so maybe that didn't sound fair, but either was leaving him with Amaya. Gaara fought the voice in the back of his head telling him to kill her. He was thrown out of his inner conflicts when his "best friend" walked back into the room.
"Here, Kazekage-kun," Amaya said in a shrilly tone that made Gaara's skin crawl. She set the trey of food down on the table next to Gaara, "I hope you like it. I made it special just for you," and then she left.
Gaara stared at the…food? Is that what they called it? What was that yellowish brown stuff? Gaara was hungry, but not that hungry. Now he had a new problem. How to get some edible food?
Twenty minutes passed before Hinata walked back into the room, following her was Temari and Kankuro.
"Hey Gaara, how are you feeling?" Kankuro asked.
"Better. You two need to take over Ka…" Gaara was rudely interrupted by his sister.
"We know. Tsunade explained everything," Temari said waving her hand up and down in a sisterly-overprotective way.
"Yea, Tsunade told us you're stuck here," Kankuro teased with a smirk, "with
Hinata-chan." With that remark Hinata's cheeks became beat red.
"I need food, good food," Gaara stated glaring at the trey on the table.
"I'll make you food Gaara, no problem," Temari said smiling.
"He said good food," Kankuro said with a smirk.
"I don't need any smart ass comments from you," Temari yelling hitting Kankuro over the head.
Gaara looked sheepish for a moment before saying, "He's right, Temari, I said good food."
Temari looked offended about to open her mouth to speak when the three heard an unfamiliar sound; Hinata giggling.
"What's so funny?" Temari asked even more offended.
"G-Gomen, it's just you three a-act f-funny sometimes. I-it's cute," Hinata stuttered blushing.
All three sand siblings blushed a little at Hinata's comment. They were acting a bit childish.
"I-I'll fix you food Kagekaze-sama. I'm not a-a very g-good cook, but it m-might be better than the h-hospital food," Hinata volunteered.
"Thank you, Hinata-san," Gaara said in a monotone voice as usual waiting for her to blush excessively and stammer uncontrollably. To Gaara's disappointment she did neither stutter nor blush. So he decided to add a few more words, "I'm sure the food you cook will be good."
Hinata blushed slightly, bowed, and then left the room to go cook. Gaara was slightly disappointed to see her cheeks were only slightly pink. The only reason he wanted to see her blush was because he thought it was funny, of course.
"Tsunade-sama says you must stay in the hospital for a week and then stay in Konoha till you can move your legs completely," Temari said as Hinata left the room.
"Oh," was all Gaara said.
"Don't think I've forgotten. This will be the perfect time to find someone your interested in, in Konoha," Temari said smiling as Gaara rolled his eyes.
Kankuro smirked knowingly, "That is if you haven't found someone already?"
Gaara gave Kankuro a wary, confused look. What was he talking about?
Temari was just as baffled as Gaara, but decided it was better not to ask.
"Oh and Tsunade also said that you," Temari paused, suddenly looking nervous.
Gaara stared at Temari waiting for her to continue, when she didn't he looked at Kankuro.
"She said you'd need a…" Kankuro stopped afraid of his brother's reaction.
"Need what?" Gaara asked, impatient.
"Need…a baby-sitter," Temari finished, cringing.
Gaara's eyes were twitching, 'Tsunade's finding ways to torture me.'
"She says that you'll need someone to take care of you when you can't walk," Kankuro added.
"Who?" Gaara asked curiously.
Temari and Kankuro looked at each other waiting for the other to answer.
"Well, you've already met her," Kankuro said fearfully.
"Who?" Gaara repeated, slightly annoyed.
"Amaya," Temari answered, "Tsunade thinks you'll get along with her well. Amaya is Anko's cousin."
"Hell no," Gaara stated flatly, he wasn't going to put of with Amaya for 30 minutes let alone live with her.
Temari gulped, "Tsunade-sama said you'd say something like that, and she also said you didn't have a choice."
Gaara looked at Temari for a few seconds, and then looked at the ground. Since when did he not have a choice? Never, that's when. He was the Kazekage for crying out loud; of course he had a choice!
"Tell her 'no'," Gaara grumbled in a low terrifying voice.
"O-Okay," Temari said leaving, Kankuro not far behind her.

I think this was a bit of a boring chapter. Sorry about that. Peace out.
