A/N: Ok again just another filler. I think this one is cute too!^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just Ami.

Hinata's Helper

After a while of walking around, I saw Naruto at Ichiraku. I walked over to him and sat down. "Hey Naruto!" I smiled. He looked over at me.

"Hey!" he said with a mouthful of food.

"So are you going to the festival?" I asked sitting down next to him.

He swallowed then grinned. "Yep!"

"Well do you have a date yet?"

Naruto's expression turned nervous. "Uh, no offence Ami, but I don't want your psycho boyfriend to kill me." I glared and hit him on the head. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"Idiot! I'm not asking you to go with me! I was gonna help you find a date."

"Oohhhhh." he said taking another bite of ramen. "How about Sakura?"

"She's already going with Sasuke." I said.

"Oh." he looked down sadly. I didn't know he had a thing for Sakura too.

I thought for a minute, trying to think of someone for Naruto to go with. I smiled. "Hey, how about you ask Hinata?"

"Hinata?" he said looking over at me.

"Yeah. She's cute right?"

"I guess." he said eating the rest of his ramen.

"And I hear she really likes you." I smiled.

"Really? I would have never guessed..." he said clueless as always and I sighed. Almost everyone could tell Hinata was like completely in love with him, yet he was as dense as always. He paid and we both stood up.

"Come on! I'll help you find her." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him away.

We found Hinata looking at flowers in the flower shop. "There she is. Go ask her."

"Ok." Naruto said walking over to her. I walked over and stood nearby so I could listen. "Hey Hinata!" Naruto said loudly. The girl jumped and looked over startled.

"Oh, N-Naruto, um, hi." she had already started blushing.

'Man, this girl needs to grow a backbone.' I thought as I watched them.

"So Hinata, do you wanna go to the festival with me?" Naruto asked being straight forward.

Hinata blushed a million shades of red. "Y-You mean...me...and you...t-together?" she stuttered.

"Yeah, so what d'ya say?" Naruto grinned.

Suddenly Hinata fell and Naruto caught her before she hit the ground. He looked worried. "Hinata, what's wrong? Hey! Hinata!"

"She just fainted." I sighed walking over to them.

"Fainted? Why?"

I shook my head. "I can't believe you're really this clueless." Naruto glared at me and I chuckled. "I told you before idiot. She's like completely in love with you."

He looked down at Hinata, who was still in his arms. "So, what was her answer?"

"I'm guessing a 'yes'." I smiled. "You should probably take her home."

He nodded and picked Hinata up bridal style. "I guess I'll see you at the festival Ami!"

I waved as he walked off, sighing thinking of Gaara. "That's if I even go."

I sighed walking back to the hotel. I was happy that I helped two of my friends get dates to the festival but I was upset because I didn't know if I was going or not. I knew Gaara wasn't really the type to go to public events. He never did back home. Then again, that was because he was never invited. And normally I didn't go either so I could spend time with him. I smiled, thinking about me and him now. 'I never thought all those years ago that me and Gaara would actually be together....'

I opened my hotel room door and walked in. It was empty. I went through and into my bedroom, but that was empty too. 'Hmm, I wonder where Gaara is...' I shrugged and went in the bathroom to get a shower.

Afterwards, I got changed into my pajamas and laid down in bed thinking about the next few days. 'The final exam is in 2 days....and that's when our plan begins.' I sighed. 'Why do we have to start a war?'

I had always hated fighting and when Baki told us that we would be helping to destroy the Leave Village I flipped.

*FLASHBACK*

"Why do we have to start a war with them?! The Leave Village is our ally!!"

"Silence Ami!" Baki yelled. "This is the wish of the Kazekage. You have no say in what happens!"

I glared at him and went to say something else when Kankuro stopped me. "Just let it go Ami." I glared at him then back at Baki.

"Fine." I finally gave in looking away.

*END FLASHBACK*

I sighed again closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

A few hours later I was woken up by something on my bed. I slowly opened my eyes and turned to see Gaara sitting on the bed next to me. "Gaara?" I said sitting up.

He looked over at me. "Ami, you're awake."

I nodded. "Where were you earlier?"

"Thinking." he said. I nodded again and looked away but not before Gaara saw the sadness in my eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm fine." He glared at me knowing I was lying. I sighed deciding to tell him what was on my mind. "Its just, I don't understand why we have to turn on the Leaf. They're our friends." Gaara just watched me silently. "I just don't get it. Wars are pointless. Why do we have to be involved in one?" I was trying not to cry, and it was proving difficult.

Gaara pulled me into a hug and I buried my face in his chest. "It's ok. We'll get through it. Together." I looked up at him and saw him smiling at me. That still shocked me that he was smilnig so much now. I mean, he smiled before every once in a while when we were together, but it was never really a genuine smile. I smiled back as he wiped my tears away. "So, are we going to the festival?"

I stared at him shocked. "You mean....you want to go?"

He nodded. "If you want to...."

"Well, yes I do. But I know how much you hate being around a lot of people and-"

"Its fine." he interrupted me. "I'll do anything for you."

I smiled. "How did I ever get lucky enough to find a guy like you?"

He shrugged smirking. "Just dumb luck I guess." I smiled and kissed him before laying down snuggled in his arms.
