A/N hi! Thanks so much for the reviews; really it means so much to me! I'm so glad that you like this story.
I'm really nervous, really really really nervous; the way Neji-niisan looked when father told him Gaara was visiting. I mean, he told me I should visit him and all, oh I hope it's going to be all right Hinata was in her room looking at her closet, this morning she had visited Gaara and gave him his outfit for the night, he told her that she didn't need to pick him up.
I wonder how he is going to get here; I surely hope that the police aren't going to bring him. What will father think? She kept looking at her clothing but then heard knocking on her bedroom door,
"C-come in" she softly said
"Hinata-sama, Hiashi-sama gave this to me, he told me you should wear it tonight"
"Oh, T-Thank you Neji-niisan"
"You're welcome" she heard Neji mumble just before he closed the door.
She opened the package who was wrapped in white paper with blue flowers, the paper looked so beautiful that she was very curious what was inside, normally she didn't really care for clothing, but since Gaara was going to look at her all evening she wanted to look her best.
So she opened the packaging and saw a red fabric, she carefully took the dress out of its package and held it up. It was breath-taking. It was a deep colour red and with a soft silver motive. With her mouth still a bit open with amazement she held the dress in front of her while looking in the mirror. She quickly took of her jacket and shirt and pants till she was wearing nothing but her underwear, then she stepped in the dress and tried to zip it up, but she couldn't reach it and but then she felt hands on hers, who zipped the dress up.
"You look beautiful, Hinata-sama" Neji said.
Her dress fitted perfectly. It was rather tight but fitted her skinny figure just great. The skirt reached just over her knees, and the neck was very wide, halfway on her shoulders the sleeves started and stopped just before her elbow. She looked in the mirror; the red colour fitted her pale skin and indigo hair perfectly. "Dad bought this?" she wondered.
"Wow Hinata-neechan" Hanabi practically yelled, Hinata looked around Neji left already
"You look really nice in that dress, I have great taste. I told daddy that if you were going to bring a boy over, you should look like a lady. And WOW you look like a lady"
"T-thank you" Hinata blushed, thankful for her sister's good taste.
"Come on" Hanabi pulled Hinata's arm and took her to Hanabi's room, Hanabi pushed her sister on her bed and told her to wait then came back with a box full of hair supply.
"You are not going to hide your face tonight sis" Hanabi said to Hinata. If her sister made a decision, it wasn't even worth the bother to try to change her mind. Hinata took of the dress and she and her sister played with several hairstyles. They tried pigtails, fringe and other hairstyles, and then decide that a slim silver headband was the best.
Meanwhile
"Gaara-kun, you are going to a dinner tonight?"
"Yes"
"Do you have proper clothing?"
"Yes"
"Do you have a present?"
"Yes"
"What is it?"
"None of your business"
Another therapy session had started half an hour ago and poor Inumi-sensei could Gaara on a non-sharing day.
"I am going" Gaara said/
"Wait! What for?"
"Change, we'll leave when I come back"
That's right, Gaara bribed Inumi-sensei so that he would bring Gaara in exchange Gaara was supposed to answer two questions honest and with explanation. Inumi planned on treasuring those questions till he knew exactly what to ask for.
Gaara came back dressed in a simply blue suit, which gave Gaara a rather interesting look his red flaming hair was now total opposite to the rest of his body. But it looked good; it was nice to see Gaara dressed in a nice outfit instead of his normal pair of ripped jeans and t-shirts.
"Just a second Gaara, I need to give a boy some medication before we go"
They heard knocking on the door
"Open up-dattebayo" an energetic boy yelled
"Shut it, you dobe" they heard Sasuke say,
"What are you two fighting about Sasuke-kun, you shouldn't be angry at such a loser" they heard the pink haired girl say.
Gaara roughly opened the door, and the three of them shut up when they say his death glare.
"Ah Naruto-kun, here are you ADHD meds"
"Thanks" and Naruto swallowed the pills quickly.
"Don't you look all nice and dressed up, is this for the exceptional and lovely Hinata-chan" Sasuke sneered. This got Sakura very jealous "I didn't expect Hinata to be a slut" she said under her breath, but before she could add anything Gaara's fingers had closed around her neck and his hissed in her ear "Hinata-chan, is my girlfriend, and if you ever say anything like that again, you'll be 6 feet under"
"Gaara-kun" Inumi said warningly and Gaara let go.
"Did you need anything, Sasuke-kun?"
"Not in particular"
And Naruto was yelling at Gaara for attacking Sakura, Gaara punched him in the stomach and Naruto fell against the wall, Gaara walked on with Inumi behind him.
Hinata was in front of her mirror again, she had just showered and her hair was extra shiny, she decided against make-up because her father wouldn't approve.
She had her dress on and had just finished with her hair, she was dead nervous about several things, first of all, if her family would kill Gaara or not, then there was you other way around. And then if they could get along, and then what Gaara would find of her outfit. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Good evening, please come in" a servant said with a slight bow. Gaara walked in, not showing his amazement of the enormous mansion.
"Hyuuga Neji" a boy a bit older then he appeared before him
"Sabaku no Gaara" Gaara answers
The two boys stare at each other for a few seconds only to be interfered by a younger girl
"Hyuuga Hanabi" she said, smilingly he doesn't look like Hinata-neechan's type, but he is very cute.
"Sabaku no Gaara. You look a lot like your sister" Gaara said for the second time again to the miniature Hinata girl
"Gaara-kun, we meet again" Hiashi said from behind them,
"That was the deal" Gaara replied.
Suddenly they hear footsteps coming down the stairs and they see Hinata walking down, she with her face down doesn't notice all the people staring at her, she looks up, and stares in the faces of everyone. She feels the stares and starts to feel weak, Gaara noticed the colour draining from her cheeks and quickly ran up the stairs. He was already halfway up before she could even fall down, and she landed perfectly in his arms, he carried her down and she woke up again.
"Gaara" she said, surprised
"Nice dress" he said in her ear. She blushed
"I've got something for you" Gaara said, louder this time. And Hiashi nodded almost unnoticeably. He showed her a small package, and she opened it: a beautiful silver necklace with the Japanese sign for love was lying on a white pillow. He took it out of the package and opened the necklace and went with his hands behind her neck to close it, his hand bushed past her naked skin.
He locked it and took his hands back.
"Thank you" Hinata whispered,
Gaara nodded and followed the rest to the dinner.
