Gaara didn't know how to answer her. Should he lie? Or not? Hinata pulled away from him and put her hands on her hips.
"Did you?" she asked again. Gaara swallowed.
"Why don't you have that bath?"
"Why w-won't you answer the question?" Hinata pouted. Gaara caressed her pouting lips softly.
"Why do you want to know? Better yet, what will you do if I told you yes?" he asked softly. His aquamarine eyes caught her pale ones and he held his arms open. Hinata came back to him and nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck.
"What would you expect me to do if the answer is yes?" she asked cheekily, tugging on his hair before stripping her clothes off and hopping in the bath.

"I don't know love. I don't know." he answered quietly as he gave her some privacy for her bath.
How was I ever so lucky as to receive her affections? he asked himself. It was something he asked himself a lot. Him, the ex-monster and her, the shy kunoichi. It was a match that didn't seem possible but had somehow survived despite the criticism. Gaara heard Hinata splashing about in the bath and remembered the first time he had met her.

A splashing sound was heard not far from their camp. Gaara's eyes snapped open and he stood silently as to not wake his siblings. He headed in the direction that the noise had come from and soon came to a river. It looked beautiful in the moonlight but that was not what had caught his attention. He was watching the person, so obviously female -unless it was Naruto's sexy jutsu-, dance on the river. The chakra moulded perfectly to her feet as she danced. Droplets of water cascaded down around her as she moved her arms around her head. She twisted and turned like a snake, jumping around in -according to Gaara- the most delicate and graceful way he had ever seen anyone move. As the female continued to dance Gaara realised that she had no clothes on. He felt his face burn and he moved back, only to snap a twig. The girl stopped her movement almost instantly and her hands went to cover herself as she ran to her clothes. She hurriedly put them on.
"Who's there?"

"Only me." Gaara said, stepping out from under the trees.
"Who are you? What do you want?" she asked, grabbing a kunai from her pouch.

"Gaara. I'm sorry for watching but I heard you from our camp and I came to investigate. I tried to leave as soon as I realised you were naked but I accidentally stepped on a twig." Gaara ducked his head.
"Gaara? From Sunagakure? W-w-w-what are you doing here?" the girl asked, clearly interested as she put away her weapon.
"I shall tell you if you tell me your name first." he replied. She took a deep breath.
"Hinata. Hinata H-Hyuuga."

Gaara sighed softly. That first meeting had been slightly awkward but their friendship had blossomed from there, eventually turning into love. There had been few arguments and after a few years he had asked her to move to Sunagakure with him as he was Kazekage and therefore couldn't leave often. She had agreed and despite her father's protests, moved to Sunagakure. She visited Konoha frequently and enjoyed every moment there. Gaara had felt a little sad that he was keeping her away from everyone but every time he mentioned it, she fiercely told him that she moved to be with him and didn't regret in the slightest. He would then hug her tightly before returning to whatever he was doing. She had stayed by his side all day when this happened, even helping out when he got frustrated. She was never afraid of him. Just patient enough until he really messed something up. Then she would get mad and yell at him until he apologized. If he didn't apologize, she would then cross her arms and walk out, until he found her and promised to make up for whatever he had done. That was his scary Hinata. The only person who could really make him quake in fear. His Hinata. He stilled loved the sound of that.

"Gaara!" Hinata called out, settling herself lower in the bath. Gaara walked into the bathroom no more than a minute later.
"Yes love?" he asked cautiously. Hinata smirked slightly.

Is he still worried about what I would do? she asked herself, letting her smirk grow bigger. Gaara's eyes widened at this and he found himself moving towards the woman sitting in the bath.
"Can you wash my hair? Please?" Hinata asked quietly. Gaara breathed a silent sigh of relief. She wasn't going to do anything bad, at least not yet.

What is she doing? he asked himself, silently admitting to himself that this was unusual request.

"Of course." Gaara moved to sit beside the bath, grabbing the shampoo and putting some on his hands. He gently rubbed it into Hinata's hair and she sighed happily. Gaara rinsed the shampoo out of Hinata's hair before putting some conditioner through it. He let his hands run through her hair lightly, massaging her scalp with precise movements. She hummed in appreciation, loving the feeling of Gaara massaging her head. It was one of the many sweet gestures he would give her if she let him. Eventually, she twisted around and pulled him by his shirt. His mouth hit hers in a soft kiss full of love that left her breathless. She kissed him harder and he responded in kind. Hinata heard Gaara moan softly and grinned. She loved that she could bring the all-powerful Kazekage to his knees like this. Gaara bit down on her lip and she opened her mouth slightly. Their tongues battled for dominance and as soon as Gaara got the upper hand, Hinata pulled away from him. She stood up and got out of the cool water, wrapping her towel around her before walking to the door of the bathroom. She turned back to face Gaara, only to find him staring dazedly at her. She giggled softly and left the room causing Gaara to growl. She made it to the closet and was changed before she heard him curse.
"Why Hinata? Why must you tease me so damn much? Now I have to fix this damn problem and you won't help me?" he said, walking to the bedroom door and eyeing her hungrily. She shook her head innocently and he stalked over to her, pulling his wife flush against him.
"Looks like we have a situation then don't we?" he asked her huskily. She looked him square in the face.
"Yes we do." she said, pushing him to the bed. "And you'll have to fix it all by yourself!" she laughed, running out of the room. Gaara growled loudly as he realised that he couldn't chase her until he took care of the problem. He hurried into the bathroom.
You're going to pay for that you little minx.
