Hi you all! How are you? Well, here's today's chapter they go shopping!! A pass time for all girls minus me(I'm not the shopping type...) Anyhow, there's the story...but since this chapter is small, you could shrink the web page in half so you can see how long it is.

Recap: "...My w-walls would need some decoration..." Hinata said trying to change the subject. "...If you say so...How about we will go get the paint as we go to the bakery?" Gaara suggest. "...Okay." She answered.

Whit Gaara's help, Hinata was able to stand up and walk a bit but she still needed to hold on him since she was really sad, well, not much now but enough to need help. They slowly walked threw the house and went outside. "Are you ok Hinata?" Gaara asked as she let go of him. "I-I think I can handle it..." Hinata said. They walked down the stairs slowly, then, they were walking at a normal pace and Hinata was only holding him by the sleeve. As they passed by the road they were last time, Gaara saw Naruto still coiled in a ball from the punch he gave him earlier. Gaara approached Hinata and said in a low voice "You should close your eyes, ears and keep walking until I say so. Ok?" Gaara asked. "Yeah, but wh-" She said as she closed her eyes then, she was cut by Gaara as he put his hands an her ears as they passed in front of Naruto so she wouldn't know that Naruto was on the floor in pain and swearing.

They finally arrived a the market place and went in the bakery. Gaara approached the lady and asked for a french bread and 2 cinnamon rolls; one for Hinata a bigger one for him. They sat at the table that was close to an ice cream shop. "Wait here, I'll go get something." Gaara said as he got up, let his half eaten roll and went to the ice cream shop. Hinata looked at his roll seeing that she have ate the half of what he did. "How can boys possibly eat that much in less the a minute...? And why did he went to the ice cream shop, I don't think he went to get ice cream...although I would like some now..." Hinata thought. Suddenly she heard a 'toc' and gazed at a magnificent strawberry milkshake whit a cherry on top. She looked up to see that it was Gaara who bought that, he also had a plastic bag of the ice ream shop.

"What whit is that face? Surprised?""Huh? But w-why did you bought that? And...How did you know that I wanted ice cream?" Hinata asked.

Gaara sat at his place and started explaining. "Well, when you live whit an older sister that orders you to do 'girly' stuff, I, how can I say that...know what girls want when tings happens..." "Oh...That doesn't bother you?"She asked "Well, my brother didn't last long, he left after two weeks...and besides, I couldn't leave since it's my house..." he said. "But why she lives at your place? And why you?" She asked once again as she slurped her milkshake. "...Your quite curious today..." Hinata blushed "anyways," he continued, "Her house burned out since she was baking something and she isn't the best cook around and she lives whit me because, if we put my brother and sister in the same room, it would be the end of both of there lives..." He finished. As he took his milkshake, he drank it to fast and got a brain-freeze. He put his two hands on each side of his head and wacked his head on the table. Hinata went to him and asked what was wrong. Gaara said between head aches "Brain...Freeze...ow...hurts...the pain...suffering..." Hinata sighed, she was afraid that he was badly injured. "It will pass...just don't d-drink it to fast." she said to assure him "First...iced...anything...ever..." Then, he was ok.

"That's it...I'll never take anything that's iced."

"Wow, you are that weak!6 gosh, I wonder how Hina-hime does to still be your girl? She must be humiliated."

"Argh! She. Is. Not. My. Girl fiend. She is just a friend. That's all!"

"Well, she' a girl and she is a friend..."

"No she isn't! End of story! Good bye!"

"Nah, not yet, I didn't tortured you enough yet...oh, and did you knew that the 'Bla Bla Bla' doesn't work on me anymore?"

"...crap..."

"Yup!"

"I hat you so much...even more than milkshakes..."

"And do you know what I will do to you today?"

"Why do I feel that I will regret it?...Yes"

" :3(Shukaku's face)...(starts saying things that proves that they are a couple)"

"No!!! Stop it!"

Shukaku continued. Gaara wacked his head again on the table to hopefully, killing Shukaku.

"Ano...G-Gaara, are you sure t-that your ok, we can go see the doctor." She asked, really worried and embarrassed that everyone was looking at them. He stopped waking his head and said that he doesn't need to and realized that he had a bruise on his forehead. He hid his face in shame and quickly removed it since he touched his bruise. He then asked Hinata to remind him to never eat ice cream/ milkshakes and/or slushes. She nudged and they went to the paint store.

They went to the store, chosen a color and went to pay. As they waited for the recip, Hinata spotted flyers and the one that got her attention, as the one Naruto mentioned, the festival for couples. She poked Gaara, then she shoed him the flyer, he took it.

As he read the flyer, Hinata took the recip and grab the gallons of paint whit much misery because it was heavy and the handles were small so it hurt her hands. When she saw a bench, she quick-walk to it and sat while Gaara continued his road; he didn't knew she had stopped. "So, do you want to..." He started and quickly realized that he was alone. He turned and saw Hinata on the bench, he walked to her and asked if she was ok "Daijobu deska?" "Daijobu da." Hinata answered. He sat next to her and looked at her hands that laid lazily on her sides. "So...what do you think about the festival? Do you want to go?" Gaara asked. "But it's only for couples...we can't go...even if I wished..." Hinata answered. "What if...never mind..." He suggested. "What if what?" She asked. "What if...you might think I'm crazy...that we pretend that we are couples...maybe..." He said. "...It's crazy enough that it just might work!" She said "Really?" "Really!" "Ok then, but the festival is in a week from now." "Well, I need to paint my house, and it might need a day or two...And we will probably need to practice our act as a couple." she said. "Ok. So, are we ready to go home?" Gaara said. "Ok, just wait, I ha ve to take these...ugh!...heave...gallons...of...paint!" she said as she lifted the gallons. "Uh...do you need help?"Gaara asked. She nudged and asked him to take one. He took it and his hand suddenly hanged low. "Wow, this is heavy!"
