Not Capable

Chapter 3:

Tsunade entered Gaara's hospital room cautiously hearing from Temari and Kankuro that he was unpleased with Tsunade's wonderful suggestion. He must have misunderstood his situation and the great offer she was giving him. Perhaps he thought he would be embarrassed with Amaya baby-sitting or watching over him. She would just have to tell him there was no reason to be embarrassed. When she saw Gaara's face, she almost laughed. 'Wow, they said he was mad, but I didn't think he was this mad,' She thought smiling.

"Hello, Kazekage-sama," Tsunade said grinning, "I heard you're not too pleased with my suggestion."

Gaara let out a low growl, "Yes, I am extremely unhappy about your suggestion. I don't need a 'Baby-Sitter' and I really don't need Amaya as a 'baby-sitter'," he finished with venom in his voice.

"Yes you do need a care taker and why not Amaya?" Tsunade asked defensively.

"Because she's," Gaara paused a little voice in his head telling him not to be rude, "She's not what I anticipated to have as a care taker. What I mean is, she doesn't have the characteristics I want in a 'baby-sitter'," Gaara finished a slight smirk on his face.

"So what characteristics do you want in a baby-sitter or care taker?" Tsunade asked a bit curious.

Gaara frowned, he hadn't really thought about it.

"Someone that's smart, kind, shy, yet bold," Gaara began thinking for any other good characteristics or qualities he wants in a care taker, "… and above all, isn't and won't ever be a fan-girl or say that she loves me. I swear, if I get a care taker that proclaims her undying love for me not only will I kill them, but I'll also kill you."

"Oh, so you want a girl care taker?" Tsunade said a grin appearing on her face.

Gaara mentally hit himself on the head. How could he be so stupid? Why, why did he have to use the words fan-girl and her and she?

"No," Gaara groaned, "Well, I don't care."

Tsunade merely looked up trying to think of someone that was smart, kind, shy, but bold and then she thought of someone perfect for the job, her own apprentice.

"Sakura Haruno would be…" Tsunade began with a grin, before frowning when Gaara interrupted.

"No, not Sakura," Gaara shivered, "anyone except Sakura, Amaya, Ino, or TenTen."

The Hokage looked baffled, "Well, that narrows it down," she drawled attempting not to sound so defeated.

'Smart, kind, shy, but bold…that doesn't even make sense! How the hell can someone be shy and bold? Ino isn't shy at all either is Amaya for that matter, Sakura can be shy and bold; kind and smart, but, no, Gaara wants to be difficult. As for TenTen she is really neither shy nor bold. Hinata, now there was an idea. Only one problem Hinata and the word bold didn't belong in the same sentence. Well, he didn't limit it to just girls. Lee is kind, some-what smart, bold, but not shy. Neji, don't make me laugh. Naruto was shy around Sakura, yet bold. He was kind, but lacked a brain. Shikamaru was smart, but not shy nor bold nor really kind for that matter. Chouji: extremely kind, shy, bold, smart…on occasions. Okay, Chouji probably wouldn't work. Kiba wasn't shy at all nor was he too bright. Shino was kind to Hinata and few others, Gaara isn't not under the few others category. Damn, I'm out of options,' Tsunade thought miserably.

"Besides Sakura, I can think of only one option," Tsunade stopped waiting for Gaara to speak.

"And…" Gaara asked telling her to continue.

"Hinata Hyuuga," Tsunade said grimacing. She liked Hinata, but there was one other problem.

"She'll work, I guess," Gaara spoke in a monotone voice that hid his relief.

"Kazekage-sama, you do realize what that means right?" Tsunade asked worriedly.

"What?" Gaara asked dumbfounded.

"You would have to live with Hinata," Tsunade stated as if Gaara should know the true meaning.

The youngest sand sibling just stared at the Hokage, "I got that," he said as if Tsunade was insulting his intelligence.

"…with Hinata, with the Hyuuga's. Meaning, you would live with Hiashi, Neji, Hinabi, and the Hyuuga elders." She spoke slowly letting Gaara soak in this information.

"I," Gaara hesitated, "I'll think about it."

Tsunade was utterly shocked. He's thinking about it. His answer wasn't hell no???

"Alright," Tsunade said shaking her head, 'I thought he'd jump at the chance to get away from them and he's thinking about living with them? He's either oblivious or insane. Well, I better ask Hinata and Hiashi what they think about this,' Tsunade thought slightly troubled.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Tsunade slowly built up her courage and knocked on the overly big and impressive wooden doors that would open to a man with a permanent scowl and cold eyes.

After knocking once, the door opened and unfortunately, a scowling, white eyes man answered.

"Hello Hokage-sama, come in," Said the tall man in a deep emotionless voice.

"Hiashi-sama, I have come to talk to you about important Kazekage matters," Tsunade paused momentarily seeing the frown on Hiashi's face deepen, "I'm sure you're aware of Gaara-sama's predicament."

"Yes, I've heard. He's paralyzed, correct?" Hiashi asked smugly.

"Yes, he is and he needs someone to take care of him while he is handicapped," Tsunade spoke slowly trying to find the right words.

Hiashi raised his right eyebrow, "And you want me to take care of him while he's useless?"

This time it was Tsunade who was scowling. She tried to hide her anger, really she did. Even though she was the Hokage, the Hyuuga clan had been around before she was even born. So no matter how big of an asswhole Hiashi was, she'd have to put up with him.

"No, Hiashi, you're wrong," Tsunade paused, satisfied at his indignant reaction she continued, "I don't expect you to take care of Gaara-sama, I expect your daughter, Hinata, to take care of Gaara-sama if he's sure he wants her to."

"Then why are you asking me?" Hiashi asked as if Tsunade were an idiot.

"Because he'll have to live here with you," Tsunade recoiled with the same harsh tone. "I want to see if that's alright with you."

"Its fine, but I'll have nothing to do with him. He'll be Hinata's responsibility and only Hinata's responsibility. Are you sure you want to leave Hinata with such an important assignment? She's completely…" Hiashi was interrupted by Tsunade's sharp voice.

"No! Gaara-sama asked for her personally," Tsunade said quickly trying to cut off Hiashi's harsh words. She was quite satisfied by the quizzical look Hiashi was giving her.

"Why?" Hiashi asked bewildered.

"Beats me," Tsunade spoke amused, "maybe he sees something in her you can't or won't see."

Tsunade grinned from ear to ear seeing Hiashi's face and then she nonchalantly headed for the door.

"Good bye, Hiashi-sama, and thank you," with that Tsunade left, fairly glad of the turn out.
