Hinata got a mission soon with her team. Mean her time at school was over. Some of the kids were so sad when they heard it. Hinata was only there for two week and they already liked her so much. After saying goodbye, the last class was over.
Toneri was standig in front of the class, seems he was waiting her.
"those kids sounds hopeless..."
"they are good kids. I just hope what I taught them can be useful..."
"you're doing a good job, Hinata-sensei" he patted her head and smiling. "so, should we go home now?"
"yes-..."
.
.
.
"hmm, I guess the toaster will do it... But it's quite expensive..." Hinata looked troubled.
"you want one? For what?" Toneri was confused.
"you can't cook and I will have some mission to go. At least you must eat brekfast if I weren't home... But..."
"don't worry about me. Or better, you can start ro teach me..."
"I don't know how much you didn't know but—Temari-san?" Hinata suddenly recognized Temari who looking on the shop windows.
"ah, Hyuuga Hinata right? long time no see." said her.
"It's a bit different now, actually..." Hinata glanced at Toneri.
"and... Face I never saw before..." Temari watched Toneri closely.
"Right, Temari-san... This is my husband, Ootsutsuki Toneri... Toneri, this is Temari-san, Kazekage's sister." Hinata explained.
"Kazekage Gaara's? Nice to meet you..." Toneri reached his hand to Temari. She was shaking his hand soon.
"Nice to meet you?" she suddenly grabbed his hand like crazy. "Like I will accept you, you monster-"
"Temari-san!"
"You ashamed us, Hinata." She looked at her with rage and slapped Toneri's hand. "You even marry this man, are you really not in illusion?"
"...-no, I don't-" She looked so painful.
"then, get this monster back to it's place up there—what are you doing?"
Toneri stood between Hinata and Temari. He looked so angry.
"if you have problem with me... Say it to me, not her." said him. "Beats me as you wanted. But, leave her alone."
"what did you—"
"allright, allright... Enough, you two." suddenly Shikamaru appeared. "hey, I just left you 5 minutes and you already picking fight with this lovebirds?"
"Shikamaru..." Temari looked calm when she saw him. "How did you let this happened?"
"ask our Hokage, I personally don't mind too... But, I think you are too harsh on them..."
"...kh-"
"Temari-san!" Hinata tried to stop her. "People can change... And i'm sure on my choice!"
"...do as you wish-" she left soon, followed by Shikamaru.
Toneri hold her hand and smiled at her. She felt so sad when she saw his face. But he wiped the tears on her face immediately.
"Thank you..." said him.
"mm..." she just nodded.
.
.

"...–ta..." Hinata looked on her plate. She made burger with omelette rice. But, her burger hadn't even been touched yet. "Hinata...?"
Toneri woke her up from being spaced out.
"y-yes? Sorry, I was thinking and—"
"are you allright?" he looked worried.
"...I'm fine."
"no, you're not... Being despised is my problem here, I know someday it will effect you as well... Sorry-"
"no—I mean, yes you once tried to destroy this world—but, you're now..." Hinata was going to cry when she remembered what Temari said about him. But Toneri hold her hand tightly.
"everything is fine..."
" You're different now. You're a good teacher... A good person-... Don't look down at yourself-"
"mm... I believe you. If you said so, it must be true."
"...I think I'll talk with Temari-san again—she must be at Shikamaru's place." She suddenly stood.
"I'll accompany you, then-"
"no... Just wait here... Please let me do this for you-"
"but..." Toneri looked worried.
"it's okay... Temari-san is a good person after all-"
"...but if you come home crying or hurt, I'll go after her..."
"that's not going to happened..."
.
.
.
She waited on the bench at the park. Hinata already convinced herself to talk with Temari without crying or Toneri is going to kill her.
She heard someone came closer and saw Temari walked toward her.
"...what is it? I'm busy, hurry up and finish it-"
"I want you to acknowledge Toneri as a human, and Konoha's member of Shinobi."
"this is ridiculous..."
"What should we do so you can admit him?"
"even I don't admit him, it's nothing to do with me and Konoha right?"
"that's..."
"Now, go home and enjoy your life. I won't interfere or get into trouble with both of you..."
"but, he's doing his best here—why do you despise him that much?"
"because he's an enemy!"
"he's changed!"
"and how about pain you all suffered because of him? Shikamaru can be dead anytime in that mission if Hokage didn't win!"
"...—I'm in that mission too, my sister was abducted-"
"then, why did you bring hm here?!"
"because I chose to forgive him."
"...huh-" Temari sighed. "has anyone told you that you're so stubborn?"
"many times, actually."
"hmph... Then, do you mind telling me how can you fall in love with him?"
"...i just... Did..."
"Shikamaru... Be a man, don't sneak around like a mouse." Temari looked on the dark bushes near there. "and another person... Just get over here-"
"Shikamaru? T-Toneri?!" Hinata was suprised to see them there. Especially Toneri.
"you guys really had a bad habbit-" said Temari. She looked at Toneri like before. "you're just so lucky to meet Hinata."
"yes I am..." he replied instantly.
"I haven't admit you... But I think you have human's feelings too..."
"...! Then, next time we should go together so you can know him well!" Hinata looked very happy.
"hey, hey, we're the one who'll get troubled if they getting close, right?" Shikamaru suddenly barged in. Hinata immediately realized what he meant and felt so embarassed.
"n-not that close... I think..." her face was all red.
"then, I'm going back..." said Temari.
"to Sunagakure? It's already so late-" asked Hinata.
"ah... Right, I forgot to tell them." Shikamaru hold Temari's hand and puled her shoulder closer. "we're going to marry, too."
"what?!"
"don't touch me here, it's embarassing!" Temari suddenly pushed him away.
"but I wonder if we can go smoothly as you," He shrugged. "then, we'll go now. See you later." Then, they left immediately.
"...wow, one by one getting married one after another. It's still surprising..." said Hinata while sitting back on the bench
"mm... Thanks, Hinata-"
"hm?"
"for standing up for me... I actually don't really care about her opinion. But you tried so hard to change her mind."
"because... It's too sad-"
"eh?"
"you've been this far... And people still treat you like that—even they don't know anything about you-I just... Can't accept it-"
"...I really am a lucky one, huh?" he took her hand and pulled her. "let's go home..."
"...mm!"
