Matsuri grinned evilly to herself as she walked towards the Kazekage tower, her new plan was simple she would spread lies about Hinata that would ruin her good name, then swoop in and claim Gaara as her own.
This plan couldn't possibly fail right? As she headed down the hall to his office, she noticed Lee guarding the door. "Stop!" he raised a hand "Matsuri I'm afraid that I cannot allow you to pass Gaara has instructed me to guard the door from you".
She smiled "I'm not going to do any harm; I just wanted to tell Gaara-sama an important message".
Lee raised an eyebrow "I don't believe you" Matsuri tried to look innocent "Lee-san all I want is to share a very important thing with Gaara-sama, it won't take long". Lee still didn't look convinced "Please?" Matsuri asked all sweet "Just one tiny minute?"
Lee thought for a moment surely one minute was enough it couldn't do much harm "Well…alright but it better be quick". Matsuri smiled bigger "Thank you Lee-san this won't take long".
The door opened to see Gaara working, he looked up and frowned "Matsuri what are you doing here?" he asked annoyed "I don't want to see you at the moment" he made a mental note to punish Lee later on for letting her in.
Matsuri gave a sweet little smile "Oh I don't want to be in your way I just came to tell you something".
Gaara raised an invisible eye brow "Tell me what?" he asked suspiciously, Matsuri grinned "Well I'm one to tattle but earlier today I saw Hinata in the arms of another man and she looked like she was really enjoying it".
Gaara looked unconvinced "What are trying to pull!" his voice was clearly annoyed Matsuri's grin grew bigger "I was shocked when I first saw it as well, but I just had to face it Hinata isn't so innocent and sweet as we thought".
A vein appeared on Gaara's forehead as he clenched his fists "Matsuri get out of my sight!" he hissed as his sand started to move rapidly. Matsuri shrugged "Suit yourself, but here this Gaara-sama things are not always as they appear".
A few days later
"You remember what you're supposed to do right Sari?" Matsuri asked Sari nodded "Of course".
Unlike Matsuri who was a stubborn, brainless fangirl Sari actually accepted the fact that Gaara was with Hinata, yes she still admired him and thought of him as attractive but she knew that he was happy with Hinata and gladly accepted it at full value.
Matsuri was now going to put phase two of her plan into action, the first part was to give to give Gaara a false warning that Hinata was seeing other men. Now it was time to make it look like Hinata really was cheating on Gaara by having Sari pretend to be Hinata while flirting with men.
Matsuri had sent Ittetsu to go and fetch Gaara, and lead him into an opening that would expose Sari pretending to be Hinata caught with some other man. Of course Sari and Ittetsu had no idea what Matsuri's little plan was, so they just assumed it was some kind of game.
Matsuri looked behind one of the buildings Ittetsu should be coming with Gaara by now, and sure enough there he was with Gaara right behind and surprisingly Naruto, Lee, Sakura, Kankuro and Kiba.
"Quickly he's coming" Sari then did several hand signs and transformed into Hinata Matsuri did the same thing also and transformed into a typical ninja of Suna. "Matsuri what are you doing?" Sari asked confused Matsuri didn't answer she just embraced Sari/Hinata and held her close making sure that her back was facing the crowd, right as Gaara walked around the corner with everyone else.
"Matsuri what's going…" Matsuri cut her off "Stay quiet; don't say anything let me handle this". She whispered she gave a quick glance at Gaara before she spoke "Hinata…Hinata" she said softly "Your lips are so tender I could just kiss them all day".
"Guys are you seeing what I'm seeing" Naruto asked nervously Kiba rubbed his eyes before looking back "That can't be who I think it is". Ittetsu didn't say anything but he had a shocked expression.
Lee slapped himself several times while Sakura pinched herself to try and bring herself back to reality. Sari/Matsuri opened her mouth to protest, but Matsuri placed a hand over her mouth preventing her from speaking "You smell wonderful like the scent of lavender". Her grip on Sari/Hinata tightened as her hand now ran through her hair.
"No, no this can't be right Hinata would never do something like this" Sakura tried to convince herself "Maybe it's just some mistake" Lee tried to reassure everyone.
Everyone nervously looked towards Gaara. His face was still calm but there were small signs of anger and hurt in his eyes. "Why that little sneaky no good rotten female", Kankuro's brow furrowed in anger as he spoke he clenched his fists "To think that witch actually thought she could get away with this".
Gaara was currently at war with himself a part of him was boiling with anger the other half was still trying to be convinced that it wasn't the real Hinata that he was looking at.
"Gaara don't get involved with this devil woman any more, she clearly has betrayed you and deserves a proper punishment". The red head listened to his older brother's words considering them.
"Kankuro does have a point" Kiba joined "Hinata did cheat on Gaara" Sakura bit her lip for a moment before speaking "Well I never thought I'd say this but Hinata must be punished", "We can't let her get away with it" Naruto added.
Matsuri tightened her grasp on Sari/Hinata even more now, for the final act she pretended to kiss Sari/Hinata making convincing sounds by kissing her hand still on Sari's mouth. "Hinata…mmm…Hinata" Gaara couldn't take any more of it.
"Come were leaving, I don't want to see any more of this" his voice was low; everyone quickly followed leaving the sight. Once everyone was gone Matsuri grinned Perfect, simply perfect she thought to herself.
"She did what!?" Temari shouted Sakura and Kankuro nodded "its true sis we saw the whole thing the little backstabber Hinata was kissing some other guy".
Temari shook her head "Kankuro your talking nonsense! Hinata would never do such a horrible thing". "Temari" Sakura spoke "I don't want to believe it either but Hinata is cheating on Gaara and maybe she's doing the same thing with several other men".
Sakura still was a little unsure if who she saw was actually Hinata in the years she had known her, never had she expected someone as innocent and kind as Hinata to do something such as toy with men.
Temari clenched her teeth in frustration if it was coming from her brother and Sakura then it just had to be the truth.
It was quite for a moment "So she thinks she can do this to Gaara can she".
"What?" Kankuro and Sakura said in union.
Temari looked at the two "I say we teach Hinata a lesson and give her a taste of her own medicine".
Kankuro nodded "I think that's a good idea".
Sakura thought for a moment, before she spoke "Well I'll say this you can count me in".
With Naruto and Gaara
"Come on Gaara I'm sure that this is all just a big misunderstanding". Gaara didn't hear Naruto's words he was still thinking about what he saw earlier surely that couldn't be Hinata. Not the sweet, loving, kind and affectionate Hinata he knew.
What if this was all some kind of trick? A trick to fool him into believing something that wasn't real? "I mean maybe Hinata was just greeting a friend in a really…weird…way" Naruto was still trying to convince himself that Hinata was innocent.
Gaara closed his eyes in concentration ignoring the blabber that was Naruto still coming up with lame excuses.
Several minutes later
Gaara finally opened his eyes "Naruto". The blonde finally stopped talking and looked to his friend "Follow me".
"Hmmm? Where are we going?"
"I'm going to confront Hinata and get to the bottom of this once and for all".
"Yeah but Gaara…"
"No arguing just follow me" he said as they walked down the hall, one way or another Gaara was going to solve this mystery and uncover the truth no matter what.
