Gaara was sad. Like a little puppy dog that isn't allowed to go outside. With it's nose on the door, that's Gaara. His nose right in front of Hinata's door except he's not going in. He whines in his heart. He wants to apologize, however...I'm so nervous... I'm afraid...

Hinata stared at the ceiling. It was day two of being locked up. She only had two more days left in Suna, and well it hasn't really been a relaxing trip. Instead of worrying about all your studies or family, she was thinking about Gaara. All the time. Non stop. Why did I have to be so cruel to him?

Temari had an evil glare on her face. Time to put my "Love" plan into action! With Kankuro out of the way, she had no one to tell her "Temari stop messing around with things you shouldn't mess with" I should be messing with this! I am Gaara's older sister and one of Hinata's...friend? no... acquaintances?... sure let's go with that... Temari knocked on Gaara's door. She knew he wouldn't answer. But this was her plan. Temari ran off knocked on Hinata's door, ran away and knocked on Gaara's door like crazy. She heard him pissed, ran to Hinata's door, knocked on her door like crazy, hearing her scoff very loudly. She ran around the hallway and watched the fireworks.

Gaara and Hinata opened their doors at the same time. Like clockwork, Temari thought as she watched them both.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT????" they both screamed at the same time. And because they were both so loud, they looked and saw each other. After two days of no contact they both set eyes on each other. Hinata's mouth fell and Gaara started sweating. He had never seen her scream...ever. She, yes she had seem him scream, however she noticed he started sweating from nervousness. She had never seen him nervous before...

"H-hinata?" he stuttered. (Temari's thoughts)I've never seen him stutter before! O my, he really likes her!

"Gaara... I'm sorry, but I must be going..." she sighed. And with that she shut the door and went back into her room. Gaara just stared at the door, not noticing that on his face was a small tear. I'm crying...over this girl. Oh, Kami, please... His thoughts were interrupted when he saw his sister walking past him (all part of her evil scheme)

"Temari?"

"Hm?" she smiled, trying to hold in her grin, her smirks, and her laughter. "What is it my dear little brother?

"um... You're a girl...right?" he hesitated asking. It was sort of humiliating for him to be asking his sister for advice. Especially considering past experiences dealing with advice...

Six months ago...

"Temari... Now first, shut up. Let me ask you something before you go all crazy. I've got a question. So shut up and listen to---"

"Wait...you're asking me for help?" She laughed. "Me? The girl you almost killed seven times in your life, said you were sorry, didn't let me set up a blind date, destroyed my house, and broke my nails sixty-one times?"

"Sixty-two times..."

"WHATEVER!! The point is, the day you truly ask me for help, truly sincerely ask me, from the bottom of your SOUL!! Then I'll help..."

Today was that day..."I need your help, please..." Gaara whimpered. "I don't know what to do about Hinata..and I just need advice"

Temari grinned. My plan is SO working. Now the real fun begins. "Well! What you first need to do is invite her to a special dinner!"

"Special dinner? What the heck is that suppose to mean?" his voice raised. What is the woman talking about? No wonder why that dumb ninja gets frustrated with her. She's so pushy. Gaara kept thinking things on how much Temari was irritating. How much she was butting into where she didn't belong. How much she should really be worrying about her own love life. But at the same time.. Hinata never gets like this. She's always sweet and gentle, kind, compassionate. And Oh my have you seen how cute she gets when she blushes? It's like I'm watching a rose bloom. So beautiful...

"ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO ME!!!!!!" Temari screamed, at the top of her voice. Her face looked like the devil, in woman form. She looked like she was going to take him out, and I don't mean to dinner. "LOOK! YOU WANT MY HELP WITH HINATA, YOU BETTER LISTEN!"

Hinata's head turned. She had been listening through the wall the entire time. She couldn't hear anything until then because Gaara always talks so soft. She could only hear Temari's yelling, but that was enough. "He wants her help...for me?" she smiled. Her face turned red from embarrassment, nervousness, and excitement. He wants everything to be okay... He really cares about me...

"He cares!!" she giggled. Her voice was so high pitched it sounded like a mouse. She started jumping on the bed, running around the room and dancing in front of the bathroom mirror. Maybe this could work now. Maybe Gaara and I could hang out more. Maybe he and I could be something more...Little did I know before, we could be something more...

Back to Gaara and Temari...

"Whatever.." Temari sighed. She knew Hinata had to have heard that last part. My plan...so working... "Okay, give her this letter asking for her to come to dinner and how you would like to speak with her. She'll totally go. Now you should have dinner on top of the tower and you should wear a suit-"

"I don't do suits!" he added. "No suit"

"Fine! Fine! um just wear a jacket and a tie. A loose tie." Temari commanded. "Now go get ready and get a shower..You smell like sand..."

Temari skipped off and stopped in front of Hinata's door. Oh, yeah. This is so gonna work. These two are going to be together and Hinata you will wear that top. If it's the LAST thing you have I bet you will... Hahahaha

Temari knocked on Hinata's door. She let out a sigh and let the magic work. Hinata opened the door to find the blonde ninja.

"This is for you, " Temari whispered. "Read it..."

As Hinata started reading the letter, which of course Temari knew exactly what it said, Temari managed to find Hinata's clothes. Why did she bring so many clothes?!?! Temari started rummaging through the clothes until she found that top. Here's that top! Ha.

Temari threw the top on the bed, without Hinata noticing (she was too stunned to realize anything). Temari snickered to herself.

"Well...I guess I should be going.." Temari sighed.

"Um.. thank you Temari!" Hinata smiled. Hinata turned around to find that top right in front of her...Maybe I should...

Temari walked lightly out of the room. Now it's time to live and let love do its job. Temari, my dear, you are a genius. Once the next part of the plan comes together, you'll sneak out of the shadows and push them more toward each other.
