Normal, Thought,
Hinata's Time
Recap:
Ino eats her heart out and then gets really tired so she falls on the bed and falls asleep not noticing the angry shouts just outside.
End Recap:
(Kankuro's POV)
"Gaara! How could you do this to Ino!" Sakura questions when Gaara enters the room She, Tenten, and Hinata are in. Kankuro follows behind Gaara.
"I didn't do anything to Ino." Gaara says in his bored voice.
"Yes you did you creep!" Sakura continues to scream. "You gave her to your perverted brother!"
"Hey! I'm not that perverted!" Kankuro says to Sakura getting pissed she blames Gaara. "Besides, Gaara didn't make the decision, may I remind you. Our parents made the decision and I'm simply following their orders, same as Gaara."
Hope Gaara doesn't get pissed at me for talking so much.
Gaara stares at Sakura with evil eyes as he begins to speak. "Now that that's settled, I'll deliver my message. Hinata you are to meet me for breakfast tomorrow."
Sakura looks pissed as she walks over to Gaara leaving an inch between their faces.
"You can't make her go if she does not want to go." Sakura growls in Gaara's face.
Kankuro clears his throat. "Yes he can. If Hinata does not attend breakfast then Gaara is in his right to give her to me."
"But…no…he" Sakura stutters. "G-get out! Both of you!" Sakura pushes Gaara out the door and slams it in his face. She turns around to find that Kankuro is still in the room. "Get out Kankuro!"
Kankuro looks at her with wide innocent eyes. "I was going but you shut the door."
Sakura opens her mouth to protest his stupidity then just opens the door revealing a pissed looking Gaara. Closing her mouth she motions for Kankuro to go out with a sweep of her hand. Kankuro steps out of the room and Sakura slams the door again. She then turns around to face Tenten and Hinata who have remained quiet the entire conversation.
Sakura looks at Hinata with gentle eyes. "Hinata you don't have to go through with tomorrow if you don't want to." She says soothingly.
"I-it's fine Sakura. I'll go, I don't mind." Hinata says quietly.
(A/N Scissors just came back on after the long break. It so funny. "Just pretend its pudding". Sorry for the break.)
"'k well you better get to bed it's getting late."Sakura says with a small smile of encouragement. "You don't want to be tired on your date."
"Don't be afraid Hinata." Tenten says. "Just do what Gaara wants but add a little of you to it. Show him that you are his equal."
"R-right." Hinata nods. "Goodnight girls."
"'Night." Both Sakura and Tenten say at the same time.
(Hinata's POV)
Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm clock goes at five A.M. for Hinata.
"Wha-what?" Hinata asks sleepily. She rolls over and falls off the bed with a loud thud.
"Ow, Where am I?" She asks aloud. Oh right at Gaara's.
There comes a soft knock from the door.
"C-come in." Hinata calls toward the door.
"Ma'am your up." The female servant says surprised.
"Y-yeah, I kind of fell off the bed." Hinata says fiddling with the sheets that fell with her.
"Well we best get you ready for Master Gaara." The servant says. "Don't want you going like that now, do we?" She gestures towards Hinata's Pajamas.
"R-Right." Hinata nods.
As Hinata and the servant walk down corridors to get to Gaara the servant gives Hinata final reminders.
"Don't talk to long now, and make sure you respect him."
Of course I'll respect him. I've been raised to respect men.
Hinata nods and pulls her dress again. She is wearing a floral summer dress reaching just below the knees. Her long black hair is in spiral curls framing her face. She has a light touch of makeup on to bring out her eyes. Her feet are accessorized with white criss-cross wedge four inch heels.
"Stop fidgeting." The servant scolds Hinata again. "You look fine."
"I know Gaara picked this out and all, but I'm just not use to these things" Hinata says fidgeting with her hair.
"Just behave yourself. Here we are." The servant says gesturing toward the double doors. "Good luck." With that she opens the double doors to reveal Gaara sitting in a red arm chair that matches his hair in a huge library.
(Gaara's POV)
Hinata steps in the library and the servant closes the door leaving a large gap between where Gaara is sitting and where Hinata stands by the doors. Gaara stares at Hinata for a long time watching how she carries herself.
At least she's wearing the outfit I pick for her.
Hinata shifts from foot to foot waiting for Gaara to say something. Gaara continues to stare emotionlessly at Hinata.
She's not like the last talkative one.
Gaara motions for Hinata to take a set in one of the chairs across from him. Hinata moves to the chair and sits down on it's edge to nervous to sit back. Gaara watched as Hinata walked over to and sat down in the chair. He watches as she nervously folds and refolds her hand in her lap.
"Tell me about your self." Gaara says emotionlessly.
"What do you want to know?" Hinata ask quietly, barely above a whisper.
"Anything." Gaara waves his hand dismissingly.
"There are a lot of things to pick from." Hinata says.
She's hard to get talking.
"Anything you feel like sharing." Gaara said.
"I don't feel like sharing anything you don't wish to hear." Hinata says.
"Just tell me something, anything." Gaara says.
"I'm a shy girl." Hinata says finally.
More like an obvious girl.
"You seem to be a shy boy." Hinata says when Gaara does not respond to her answer.
MAN! NOT BOY!!
Gaara doesn't respond to Hinata just gets a pissed look on his face. Hinata and Gaara fall back into silence. Hinata looks at the floor, to afraid to look at Gaara. The red hared teen looks at Hinata with a studying expression.
What's with her?
Hinata looks up at Gaara through her lashes. "Was this not suppose to be breakfast"
Gaara nods his head slightly. "Do you want breakfast?"
"Yes, but I don't want to eat if you do not eat." She says.
She's annoying
Gaara claps his hands and a butler comes in. Gaara tells the butler to bring them breakfast. The butler bows to Gaara before closing the door. Hinata and Gaara are again in silence listening to the grandfather clock. The butler soon returns and places a platter full of food on a coffee table between Gaara and Hinata. Bowing the butler leaves the room again. Hinata leans forward to get a look at the food. She sees that is has fruits, toast, pancakes, muffins, and pitchers of milk, lemonade, and coffee. She looks up at Gaara. "This is a lot of food for only two people."
"It's for you." Gaara glances at the food. "I didn't know what you liked."
"B-but I'm not eating if you're not." Right then her stomach growls.
Gaara glances at her stomach. "Your body has other ideas."
Blushing a light red Hinata picks up a strawberry and eats it. "This is really good."
"Good." Gaara says simply, laying his head back and looking at the ceiling.
"Am I doing something wrong?" Hinata asks worriedly.
"No." Gaara says not moving.
"Then what's wrong?" Hinata asks.
"You're making me talk." Gaara says to the ceiling.
"Is that a bad thing?" Hinata asks picking up more food.
"I don't like talking." Gaara doesn't take his eyes off the ceiling.
Making me talk, being obvious, and being annoying with her little rights. Do I really want her?
"I don't like talking either." Hinata says in a whisper.
"Then why are you talking." Gaara says looking at her.
"B-because it's impolite not to talk when on a date" Hinata says.
"But you didn't want to talk." Gaara says confused.
"The servant said that I should not talk too much." Hinata whispers.
Doesn't like talking, fallows what she's told, been taught manners. Maybe I'll give her a chance.
"I have an appointment I must attend." Gaara says getting up. "You may stay and finish your breakfast."
(Hinata's POV)
Gaara leaves through the double doors Hinata came in. Hinata is left to eat and think about her date with Gaara. After she is full Hinata decides to try and find Sakura and Tenten to tell them the good news that she can stay. She first goes to Sakura's room 'cause it is the closest to the library. Sakura was in her room listening and dancing to her i-pod when Hinata came in. After a girly moment of squeals Sakura drags Hinata out to find Tenten. They find Tenten but also find Gaara talking to Tenten. They wait outside the mostly closed door listening in on the conversation.
Tenten raises her voice. "I absolutely will not be summoned by command like some slave or dog!"
What are you doing Tenten?
"I desire a date with you tomorrow." Gaara says rather calmly.
"I will not be treated like some common lap dog!" Tenten screams. "I demand to be treated like a human being!"
"You are being treated fairly by everyone, are you not?" Gaara says.
"Yeah, by your servant who don't have a will of their own." Tenten argues.
Do you want to be thrown out?!
"They are fairly paid." Gaara says. "I expect to see you tomorrow."
With that Gaara leaves the room. As he walks out of the room he bumps into Sakura, knocking her on her butt. He looks at her in contempt then turns and walks down the hall not helping Sakura. The girls stare open mouthed at Gaara's retreating figure.
That was very rude!
(Gaara's POV)
Tenten walks over to Sakura. "Who does that little boy think he is! Thinks he can push a girl over and not help her up. Creep!" Tenten says helping Sakura up.
Why that little #$%^! She thinks she can call me 'little boy' I'll make her pay tomorrow.
"Quiet." Hinata squeaks.
"I want him to hear me Hinata. Maybe he'll learn a lesson or two!" Tenten shouts toward Gaara's last seen direction.
You're the one that will be learning the lessons.
Sakura rubs her sore ass. "Girls, it's ok. I'm fine, I think he new we were listening in on you conversation."
She's not as dumb as I thought.
"That's still doesn't give him the right to leave you on the floor!" Tenten screeches.
"Please keep it down." Hinata begs. "I don't want you to get thrown out, or given to Kankuro."
"Don't worry Hinata." Tenten says. "I know what I'm doing."
"Yeah, but I can stay another round." Hinata says looking at Tenten. "I don't want to be left alone."
"YOU MADE IT!" Tenten screams at the top of her lungs and jumps up and down erratically for a minute.
She's hyper. Both Gaara and Hinata think.
"Okay, change in plans." Tenten says as she settles down. "Hinata tell me everything I need to know or all you do know about Gaara."
"Hold on Tenten." Sakura says putting her hands up like two stop signs. "That would be cheating. Neither Ino nor Hinata had help passing Gaara's tests. To make this fair to all of us lets not tell each other what each of us learn until the second date."
"Guess that's a reasonable rule." Tenten says grudgingly.
"Okay Sakura." Hinata says nodding her head.
"Good." Sakura nods her head. "Now let's get Tenten ready for her date tomorrow."
