"You get a week with him all to yourself huh?" Sakura winked to Hinata. Sakura had always been Hinata's friend. Every since the whole Naruto thing. Hinata use to have a giant crush on Naruto. Like she practically worshipped the guy. Everyday, she'd watch him practice, eat, sleep...She was in total serious "I like you" mode whenever she saw him. What changed though, was when Sasuke ditched the village. That changed everyone's life. Especially Naruto. He focused less on Hinata (which wasn't that much to begin with) and more on Sakura (even more than before). After a few years or so, the two got married. Yeah. Why? Something about love... Love... Hmmm... Is that why I wanna be with Gaara? But I really don't know him that well? Am I basing this all on feelings or---

"HINATA!" Sakura yelled and slapped her.

Ouch... "I'm sorry Sakura... I kinda was thinking was something I'm sorry. Um, well it's not like that. This is just a vacation to relax. Let my tension drift away.."

"Uh-uh.. You honestly think I'm gonna believe that bull?" Sakura laughed. "I know you want something more."

Control the blush Control the blush Control the blush CONTROL!!!!! "It's nothing like that... Besides, his siblings will also be there too."

"Oh..." Sakura's excitement had left. "Well you've got Temari.. She's a little older than us, but...well.. she's okay. I mean she talks about Shikamaru ALL THE TIME. But she only talks about how much she's angry. But deep down, you know she wants him. And Kankuro...well he's basically a stupid oaf. He'll say something and get every girl in Konoha angry. I mean you heard about the whole thing with Ino?"

"Yeah, I heard," Hinata sighed. "I feel sorry that it couldn't work out though..." Maybe if I can get her talking about Ino, I can sneak away...

"I know!! Kankuro and Ino are like made for each other and I don't know why they can't get over their problem. I mean it was just one... wait a second..." Sakura stopped herself. She looked around and noticed that Hinata was out of sight. "HINATA!!!!"

Hinata was so thrilled to get away from Sakura. She's one of my best friends but she talks WAY too much. And I'm glad I can use that against her. Hahahaha. Hinata had to pack for her trip. She was gonna spend a week with Gaara. I AM SO NERVOUS!!! temari and kankuro will be there. they're gonna cut in to the alone time..How am I suppose to get them away?

"Hinata..."

"Oh? Oh! Hello Shikamaru!" Hinata greeted the lazy shinobi. Shikamaru's okay. Except welll. he likes temari and everyone knows it except for himself. and it gets very annoying cause well...it just does!!!!

"I have a question to ask..." he sighed. "I heard you were going on a trip to the Sand Village? Like a rest and relaxation thing..."

"Yeah thats it." How the heck does he know...Sakura.. Geez does that girl ever shut that huge mouth of hers?

"I was wondering..." he sighed. "Look give this to that girl who is always so troublesome. She lost the bet so this is her reward."

Hinata grabbed the picture of Shikamaru winning some sort of game and Temari looking VERY pissed off. It looked like they were at a carnival/amusement park. Maybe it was a date of some kind... "Sure I'll give it to her! See ya in a week Shikamaru!!"

Hinata walked away from the lazy shinobi and on toward your house. She had to pack still. What should I wear... something modest. Maybe. Well, if he doesn't like me for who I am then... I'LL DIE IF THAT HAPPENS!!!! What if he hates me? What if I'm just a shy little Hyuuga girl to him? Nothing to him? But he's only talking to me. Maybe I don't know...

Hinata returned to her home where in the end, she packed EVERY single thing she had...for only one week. After spending 5 hours packing (what made it so long was she couldn't decide what she wanted. In the end, she decided everything.) Hinata noticed it was almost time to leave. Oh my gosh... What if I'm late? What if I trip? What if I say something stupid?

"Hinata?" Hinabi entered her room. "You know you were suppose to have left like...10 minutes ago. You're gonna be late for Gaara."

"..."

"Hin-hinata?"

"I'm gonna be late!! " hinata screamed, grabbed all her luggage and ran out the door. She zipped past everyone in the house, shouting a few byes and see ya later. She jumped outside and starting running like no tommorrow to the front fate. I've gotta make it to the gate in time...Can't be late!!!!

Will Hinata make it on time? Will she have a fun time with the Sand Siblings? It's just the journey at first, but then there's the week at Suna. When someone becomes close to Hinata, a secret is dropped. And what is with Gaara?
