ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: ɴᴀʀᴜᴛᴏ ᴀɴᴅ ʜɪɴᴀᴛᴀ’ꜱ ᴡᴇᴅᴅɪɴɢ ᴅᴀʏ ʙʀɪɴɢꜱ ᴍᴀɴʏ ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛꜱ.

Gods, she looked beautiful. All in white and soft florals - you couldn’t believe it really, little Hinata who would faint every time Naruto so much as looked at her would now standing beside him as his wife. He scrubbed up well, Naruto, you had gone with him and Iruka to get his wedding outfit fitted and insisted he get his hair cut for the day too. You’d never be his mother, just as Iruka would never be his father. But you two had tried, you had been the one to feed the screeching blonde baby his 3am bottles in between ANBU missions and eventually had taught alongside Iruka in the Academy. Seeing him now, with the sweet girl who’d bring you lilacs every day as a gift with a shy nod, having said their vows and exchanged rings, you had never been more thankful for sacrifices made along the way.

You also felt old. Even though you were only 27.

The reception began in earnest, guests greeting the beaming couple and Iruka standing beside Hinata’s father thanking passers by.

Having taught all of the kids in the academy, being close to Naruto and soon becoming Lady Fifth’s right hand woman beside Shizune - these kids felt just like yours. You’d mopped up their blood, dried their tears as anyone would for their kids.

You had spent so much time with them, made them take their medicine, trained with them, studied with them, mediated petty arguments (Ino and Sakura) and mended broken hearts with them. Of course, there was also the other reason.

The 6ft, silver haired reason standing in the corner. Your best friend since childhood, your Shinobi partner, your partner in crime and the love of your life.

Not that the last part came to light until about 3 months ago, when before the final battle arrived you woke up realising you might die tomorrow. He might die tomorrow. Life was too short, you’d lost too many people to forsake this chance - even though his fear of losing people he loved, and your fear of losing your other half was what kept that unspoken gap between you all these years. How you came to get together after almost 25 years of pining was a story for another day, however, because today was Hinata and Naruto’s day.

You could see Sakura, in the distance - she’d intercepted a messenger bird and pulled the scroll from its foot, and you saw her smile. Only one person can make your Sakura smile like that. Sasuke. On his journey of atonement, who knows where - but still thinking of Naruto, and Sakura. His friends. His family.

Sai stood hand in hand with Ino, a genuine smile on his face and love in both their eyes. A blushing, wait, blushing Temari stood beside Shikamaru - when did that happen? You all knew it was coming, but didn’t know it had happened. Tsunade caught your eye and winked, raising a glass of champagne in your direction. Shino and Kiba were monitoring Rock Lee and Gai who were causing mild havoc and Choji was at the Hor D’Ouvres already. TenTen stood near Kurenai and Mirai. So many loved ones, but too many missing. Neji should be here for this. Jiraiya would be so proud.

You watch the Kazekage make conversation with Kakashi who looks absolutely miserable among so many people, and you decide to save him. You grab Sai as you walk towards the Hokage and Gaara of the Desert.

“Lord Kazekage, thank you again so much for attending today. It means very much to Naruto to have you here with him today. Hinata too, although I suppose I can just call them the Uzumaki’s now! I believe you were speaking about a memorial portrait for your office, Lord Kazakage? Sai here is our finest artist, perhaps you could speak on the matter?” You interject, with levels of diplomacy you only gathered watching Tsunade daily.

“Indeed, I’m grateful to be here to witness a dear friend’s happy day. Sai, would you speak with me about…” Gaara speaks, wandering away with Sai beside him. An odd pair, one you knew would be busy making incredibly strange conversation for some time.

You glance at Kakashi, a wry smile on your face.

“Better?” You snicker, taking your place beside him.

“Infinitely. The second Naruto can string a sentence together without saying ‘Believe it!’ I’m giving him the hat. I hate all this talking.” He grumbles.

“Even to me?” You act offended.

He just gives you that adorable eye smile, lips quirking under his mask.

“Never to you.” He says, voice quieter, softer.

“You really do look very handsome today, Lord Sixth.” You smile, fixing the lapels of his jacket. He rolls his eyes.

“Not even half worthy of standing beside you, sweetheart. Y’look beautiful today, everyday but today - that’s something else.” He smirks.

“Oh hush you, you told me how nice I looked for 15 minutes this morning.” You huff.

“I believe I showed you how nice I thought you looked too, 3 times before we left the apartment.” He snickered, knowing the images of your tangled limbs in the bedsheets making you almost late would infiltrate your mind again, causing a flush across your cheeks.

“Kashi, gods, we were already nearly late - we can’t go sneaking off to a broom closet now and that’s how this will go if you keep talking like that.” You glance at the sky, trying to clear your mind.

You both laugh at the scene in front of you as Gai and Rock begin doing various exercises and TenTen just rolls her eyes. Everyone looks so beautiful, so happy. The aura of calm and peace surrounding everyone is a reminder of why you came back from the war with many new scars. It was worth it. Seeing these kids, who really deserved a better world - actually living it was more than any of you dreamed.

“Did you see Shikamaru and Temari hooked up?” You elbow your boyfriend.

“Finally. I thought his lazy ass would never do anything about it.” He snorted.

“Bets on it was all Temari.” You respond and he shakes your hand to seal the deal.

“Sakura got a message from Sasuke too.” He chimes in.

“Sai asked me to help pick a ring for Ino too.” You remember shopping with him, in awe of how much of a romantic this boy turned out to be.

There’s silence for a moment between you both.

“Who do you think will be next?” Kakashi asks you.

“For what?”

“To get married.”

“Temari and Shikamaru probably. Ino will want to plan a wedding properly, and I think we’re still a while off Sakura and Sasuke. Who knows, maybe Gai will find his partner in the grand spirit of youth?” You respond.

He huffs a laugh, but doesn’t reply.

“Why, was that not who you thought?” You question him.

“Nah.” He shrugs.

“Who do you think will get married next then?” You poke his cheek.

“Us.” He looks at you, unfazed.

You blink.

And blink again.

He just stares at you.

“Is that a proposal, Lord Sixth?” You think he’s joking, so you play along.

“I suppose so.” He nods.

Oh my god, he’s being serious.

“Kashi - are you - do you mean that?” You ask, breathless and grasp his hand.

“You used to say you didn’t want a fancy proposal. Just for someone to say they want to marry you. I want to marry you. The rings at home.” His smile is soft, imperceptible to anyone but you.

You turn to face him, smile bright and lash line glistening with tears.

“You busy tomorrow, Hatake?” You ask, a laugh interrupting.

“Shikamaru can take care of business, you got plans?”

“Wanna get married?”

He just smiles, and glances around to make sure nobodies watching before slipping his mask down and pressing a kiss to the corner of your lips.

“It’s a date.” His voice is wavering slightly.

“Let’s keep it quiet. It’s not our day. Hinata and Naruto leave for their honeymoon tonight.” You whisper to him.

“Tomorrow we’ll ask Gai and Kurenai to meet us at the courthouse. It can be just us four. Then I’ll take Mrs. Hatake home.” He nods, and your heart seizes at the sound of you being Mrs. Hatake within 24 hours.

“I love you, ‘Kashi.”

“I love you too, sweetheart.” He says, pressing a masked kiss to your inner wrist.

“SAKURAAAAA-CHAN! LOOK AT KAKASHI-SENSEI AND Y/N-SENSEI! THEY ARE SO CUTE!” Ino’s voice echoes.

“Some things never change.” You laugh as Kakashi grimaces.

Honestly after gaiden kishi can just do anything. If he wrote that sasuke used to physically hurt Sakura but they're hearts are connected we would have to believe him cause what did he do during gaiden ?

Firstly, let me just nitpick something - Saying that "Sasuke used to physically hurt Sakura" gives the impression that he just used to physically abuse her out of the blue for no reason, but that's clearly not the case. They were on opposite sides of a war, she tried to kill him while he was crazy, and he returned the favour.

Secondly and more importantly, Gaiden was by no means the prime example of Kishi writing wholly unrealistic levels of forgiveness, the main manga is full of examples.

Gaara becoming the Kazakage of the very village where he was feared as a killing machine who slaughtered many innocents. The villagers were able to forgive him despite his former reputation.

Hinata and Neji mending their relationship despite the latter aiming to kill the former during the Chuunin exams.

Naruto and Sakura never giving up on Sasuke, despite all of his international transgressions.

Sasuke being given a full pardon at the end, despite being an international criminal who invaded the Hidden Cloud and seemingly kidnapped their Jinchuuriki, which was the trigger that led to the 4th Shinobi War.

This is probably the prime example in my opinion - Naruto describing Obito as "cool", despite the latter causing by far the most shit in the entire series, and also greatly wronging Naruto on a personal level by being the direct cause of both of his parents deaths. And why did Naruto describe Obito as cool? For no other reason other than the fact that the latter wanted to become the Hokage during his youth, that's it. Never mind all of the criminal activity with the 4th Mizukage, never mind all of the criminal activity with the Akatsuki, never mind attacking Konoha and causing the deaths of his parents. Nope, he wanted to become the Hokage when he was young, so he's automatically cool...

And yet people ignore all of that. But Sasuke and Sakura's relationship? That's where they wanna draw the line and say Sakura still loving Sasuke is bullshit? It's fucking unbelievable.

I have a new sasusaku au idea.

So say after the third shinobi war, Leaf and Sand made a peace agreement via arranged marriage. The sand would provide a relative of the Kazakage's family to be a bride for one of the head families of Konoha's clans.

The Uchiha clan was chosen to receive the bride. It wasn't decided yet if she would wed Itachi or Sasuke but she would be for one of them.

As for the bride herself, there was a debate to send the Kazakage's daughter Temari, but then Suna's council remembered that Karura had a sister who had a daughter.

Sakura knew her whole life that she would eventually be sent to Konoha as a peace bride. Her childhood was kinda lonely because of it. Suna's council started her ninja training young because they knew the Uchiah's were a ninja clan by trade and that they value strength. They gave her to Lady Chiyo to train. Sakura never really took to puppetry, not like Kankuro, but she did excell under Lady Chiyo's posion teachings and beginner medical training.

When Sakura wasn't with Lady Chiyo, she was with her cousins. She was closest to Gaara since both of them were being raised to be used in service to the village (Gaara as a weapon and Sakura as a peace offering) which left them both pretty isolated as children. This isolation also left Sakura a little oblivious to the village's fear of her favorite cousin. All she knew was that Gaara was a sweet boy who just needed some extra training to control his powers. Yes, she did know that Gaara had Shukaku in him and sometimes he lost control of his powers, but like most kids, she doesn't fully understand what that means.

Sakura and Gaara's relationship took a hit when their uncle, Yashamaru, tried to kill Gaara and then proceeded to blow himself up. Gone was the sweet boy who wanted to love and be loved. Gaara was now colder, and while Sakura still cared greatly for her cousin, it felt like he only tolerated her now. She was still one of his closest relationships, along with his siblings.

When Sakura was twelve, she was given two items. The first was a chain with a ring on it. The ring was silver with a red jewel. Purple chakra swirled in the jewel. The second item was a headband with Konoha's symbol on it.

It was time for her to go to the Leaf Village.

On Konoha's side after the Uchiha massacre the council looked for ways to keep Sasuke in line. They remembered the deal with Suna and made the arrangements to officially betrothed Sasuke and Sakura. Not that they told him.

The deal was that once Sasuke graduated from the Academy, they would bring Sakura to the village and assign her to his genin team. Kakashi about damn near had heart failure when his third student was escorted in with two Sand anbu behind her. Gai had to console him later.

Sakura looked around curiously at everything as she followed Kakashi to meet her other teammates. There was a lot more color in Konoha than Suna, especially the color green. Her teacher was curious, too. He introduced himself as Kakashi Hatake. Hmm, the only Hatake Sakura knew about was the White Fang Sakumo, and Lady Chiyo wanted him dead. She wonders if Kakashi is related.

Sakura is behind Kakashi when he opens the door to a classroom and an erasure falls on his head. A loud laugh was heard from the inside. Was that her betrothed or her other teammate?

"That's what you get for being late!" The voice shouted.

We're they late? Sakura winced. That was probably her fault. Kakashi did have to get her from the Hokage's tower.

Kakashi only humed as he stepped into the room, Sakura following behind. Two boys turned their stares from their sensei to her. She scanned them, one was a blonde with whisker like marks on his face, the other had black hair and eyes. While she couldn't verify via the Uchiah symbol, Sakura had to guess the dark eyed boy was her betrothed Sasuke. She was told the Uchiah's typically had darker features.

Kakashi humed again. "My first impress of you three, I hate all of you."

Well damn, that's not good. Sakura needs allies if she's gonna survive here and make sure to maintain the peace agreement. Having her sensei hate her right off the bat doesn't bode well for her.

They're led up to the roof where Kakashi has them introduce themselves, not that he offered up much info.

The blonde boy started. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I like ramen, especially the ramen at Ichiraku! But I hate having to wait the three minutes for it to cook. And my dream is to be the greatest Hokage!"

Well, he was energetic. But this did confirm Sakura's suspicions.

Sasuke spoke next. "My name is Sasuke Uchiah. I dislike a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anyone. I don't have a dream because I will make it a reality. I will restore my clan and kill a certain someone."

Oh, well, there's some familiarity of home with her betrothed. At least she'll have some knowledge on how to approach her betrothed thanks to Gaara.

The boys turned towards her and Kakashi tilted his head. We'll go on.

Sakura blushed. Oh, right. "I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like, I mean, um-" Damn her accent slipped, and after her tutors worked so hard to make sure it was perfect. "I like studying. . ." Can't say posions, won't look good since she's suppsed to be a peace offering. ". . .medical plants and the effect they have on the body. My dislikes are um. . ." What was safe to say? She didn't get a chance to study her teammates before, and there wasn't much info her anbu escorts gave her either.

Kakashi seemed to take pity on her. "And your dream for the future?"

That was easy. "To maintain the peace and alliance between Konoha and Suna."

"How come we've never seen you before?" Naruto asked her.

The boys looked at her confused. Sakura looked at Sasuke confused. Why was he confused? He's the other half to making this peace agreement work.

Kakashi cleared his throat. "Sakura is from another village, but she has been put on this team as part of an alliance agreement. Now for tomorrow we'll have our first mission."

Sakura tensed as Kakashi explained that of the graduates only nine ever make it to genin and the rest are sent back to the academy. What does that mean for her? Would she be sent back to Suna? That can't happen, not if they want to peace agreement to work out, she can't fail this!

Sakura went to speak with Sasuke after they were dismissed. She knows they officially just met but they did need to talk about their engagement. Kakashi pulled them both back.

Kakashi pulled a silver ring on a chain out of his pocket. Sakura knew that ring. It was the matching ring to the one she wore around her neck, except it had her chakra in it instead of Sasuke's. Why would Kakashi have it?

Kakashi handed the chain to Sasuke. "Did your parents ever tell you about your engagement?"

Sasuke's face fell into a scowl. "What?"

Sakura began to grow mortified.

"The alliance agreement between Konoha and Suna was sealed with an arranged marriage between the Uchiha clan and a relative of Suna's leader, the Kazekage," Kakashi explained. "Sakura is the Kazakage's niece, and per the agreement, you two will be living together from this point on."

Sasuke turned his glare on to Sakura. Sakura was thankful she gotten used to Gaara's glares.

This probably won't get many views here or Twitter, but I'm genuinely thinking of writing my own version of Naruto.?? The relationships won't change. So Hintata will still get together with Naruto .

I have ideas based on interviews with kishimoto. Like Team Gai and Team Kurenai being sand Ninja (yes, that means the Hyuga , Inuzuka, and Aburame clan won't be leaf ninja) . Had the idead since I read Gai in particular wasn't originally planned to be a leaf ninja. That he and Lee where made on the fly for the exams.

One thing to mention is that all teams have four students. This is to include the filler students like Sora , Yakumo, and Yagura (yes, gai had a student named Yagura)

Team Gaara also has new people from the chunin filler being Shira , Sen, and Yami.

But what happened to Kankuro and Termari? Well, dear reader, that will come in due time..

Here's the major changes I have in my head so far, starting with Team 7.

Naruto

He's still an orphane born of the 4th homage minato. He's maybe a year older than Sakura and sasuke . Due to flunking the graduate exams . He was adopted by the third Hokage. In this version He's younger and much more naive than the original. (More on hiruzen later)

Sakura

She was a girl who witnessed her parents constantly fight . They both struck at each over multiple times, and eventually, she was but in foster care. Not really being taught violence wasn't the way she'd often lash out at people, including her teachers. When being put into team 7, she was scared of kakashi after some of the stories she'd read about him. She actually sometimes tries to hit Sasuke , Naruto and Sai

Sasuke

He's still the same, only real difference being that he looks more like Fugaku . He's still broady and crabby even more so with Sai.

Sai

Joined Team 7 much earlier on and is one of the reasons Sasuke left the village. Being a spy for Danzo, he worked with orochimaru closely and slowly wormed his way into Sasukes mind convincing him to accept the sound fours offer.

Kakashi

Born of a Samurai clan, that later fled to the leaf and a Inuzuka / Hyuga (haven't decided) mother from the sand . He's much the same man from the series except he's got a secret pacht with the sand due to his mum being from there.

Team Asuma

Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji are pretty much the same. I really don't see any change Nessasary .

Asuma

The brother of the third hokage it inst until after the sand attacks the leaf he fall head over hills with kurenai yuhi of the sand . At first, he has no idea she's a sand Ninja. When he initially finds out her secret he's of course, horrified . Kurenai was from the village that tried to destroy his home and ultimately took his brother from him. During the time skip they do make up and eventually start dating in secret..

Sora

Same as filler exept hes the new five tails after it recarnated, he just joins the team early on . He's constantly worried because he doesn't fit in with Ino-Shika-Cho formation. Asuma tries to help him .

Team Kurenai

This is where the divations really begin .. as Said before Major clans now live in the sand village. Hyuga , inuzuka, and Aburame. Inspired by two things . The concept of gaara owing a dog and the interview stating Gai was from another village.

Hinata .

Apart from location a lot hasn't changed. She first met Naruto in the Exams and really liked his energy and will never give in. The thing that made her mind up was the fight with Neji. The Cousin she was going to be forced to Marry eventually. Naruto does the same shouting. But this time, her motivation is based on 'why does this stranger I've maybe met one or twice cheer me on?' She actually goes on the journey with Jiriya, Naruto , Sorra, Neji, and Gaara. (Three jinjurki and three people to sort out if anything goes wrong)

Kiba

He has a strong rivalry with his Twin Gaara and says he's going to beat him at being kazakage. Gaara doesn't really care but later on indulges him and challenges him to see who gets stronger during the time skip.

Shino

Same as canon just more dessert like bugs

Yakumo

Uses paintings much like Sai, but instead of physical . They trap people in genjutsu, which are much like in her filler episodes.

Team Gai

It's pretty much the same, except Lee now has two brothers. Yagura and Shira . Both whom he likes to to one up. Gai was 16 when he had a one night stand, resulting in Lee and his brothers. He never really knew their mum. He's regretted ever since. He has a major Crush on a certain Spikey haired leaf shinobi. Whose to say that man doesn't share the same feelings .

Team Gaara

The filler characters are the same

Baki is the sensei.

Gaara is the twin of Kiba, and he's pretty much the same as canon . The biggest difference is his dog. Don't hurt, or else shukaku will come out. After the Konoha Crush, he softens quite a bit and looks very different from how Naruto met him.

Temari and Kankuro are Sand Anbu like shinobi that are the older siblings of Kiba and Gaara. They resent Hana at first for caring about their brother, whose only seen as a weapon. It's not until rasa dues do the realise that Gaara, if taught correctly, can harness his powers, so they set up a meeting with the leaf village . As long as Gaara is safe and cared for, then could he train under Jyriya. Tsunde reluctantly agrees... that's all I have so far...

I want to read/write a Fanfic where Gaara's insanity and tendency towards murder pre-Canon is caused entirely by his inability to sleep combined with the complete lack of protection his mind has from Shukaku —

(who is constantly assaulting him with screaming/threats/manipulation/violent thoughts & emotions/etc)

— thereby preventing him from ever being able to think clearly, except literally no one in Suna had ever realized any of this until suddenly something happens that results in Gaara's seal getting fixed.

(Maybe Jiraiya ran into him during one of his rampages and was reminded of his godson, Naruto decided to help him out since he was just a kid and he felt bad for him and also really guilty about Naruto.)

This whole time they just thought that he was evil and insane and a monster, only to suddenly be faced with this... eerily calm and passive version of Gaara.

Literally nothing fazes him anymore. Someone slips up and his instinctive sand is the only thing that saves him from being brutally injured if not killed, and he just... doesn't even blink.

He just stares blank-faced at them and then moves on with his day.

He spends most of his time now either sleeping or just sitting around staring at clouds — he practically turns into a Nara, minus the laziness.

Rather than lazy, he's almost listless.

Nothing seems to rattle him anymore, he hasn't been angry since his seal was fixed, and he spends all his days either napping or just wandering around.

Yesterday someone saw him in the greenhouse; they think he was trying to figure out gardening.

Absolutely no one has any idea how to react to any of this, least of all the Kazakage and his family and their Jounin sensei.

Gaara, of course, is entirely apathetic and oblivious to all of this.

So Glad I Have You

Smut

I quietly made my way to the file room that none of the ninjas have any idea how to keep things straight despite me taking time to teach them and yet it is I who they say is a no body. I am the Kazakage’s office manager. I know everything that goes on here. But I rarely get any respect from any of the ninjas and often talked down to as if I am useless being mostly. The staff that live here are cordial at least but I don’t often deal with them, it’s the outside village Ninjas that I have to deal with as they know nothing about the inner workings here.

Though I might not be a ninja, I make sure that this place has everything it needs and coordinate the compound’s staff scheduling with the exception of the Kazekage of course. I handle payroll and that is a pain to do in it of itself. Today was payroll day and I can’t even leave my file room for if I do they will create a month’s worth of work. So I bring in my laptop and yell at them when they come in and try to be lazy.

Today was payroll day so I was sitting on the table in the center of the room when someone entered the room and I gave a quick glance. Not immediately recognizing the red haired blur I assumed was just a new ninja who moved here so I quickly bark out the file room system followed by “and if you don’t understand that just ask for help instead being a stupid meat head.”

The man chuckled, “People have been telling me that there’s a file room gremlin and I think I found the one they were referring to.”

“If they don’t want to deal with the gremlin then perhaps they should stop being complete idiot’s who can’t follow a simple filing system when left alone. It’s payroll day and I don’t have time to go through their blatant disregard for the system to fix it like I do every other day.” I state without looking up.

“They have all been told how to file there own reports like you did with me?”

“Normally I show them how to do it, not that they listen. You are the only newbie to show up on payroll day. Now do you need help or …” I looked up and realized who I was talking to. But I held my poker face refusing to balk.

He smirked, “Well I assure you that I will not show you such disrespect. Your system seems clear and efficient, why hasn’t it been followed?”

I snort as if finding humor in the question, “I’m not a ninja and yes they have told me as much. The kids are better about following my system and rarely on purpose mess it up. It’s the adult’s who seem to lack brains. If I didn’t know better, I would think that there was a brain sucker on the loose.”

The kazekage seemed amused, “It would seem like it. I will take care of this, if it continues, you come let me know. I’m Gaara by the way.”

“I’m (y/n). Nice to meet you, Lord Kazekage.” I leaned forward giving him a small bow as I was on a table sitting crisscrossed apple sauce and couldn’t give more.

“It’s nice to meet you too (y/n). I don’t like how the ninjas here have been treating you and I hope you know that I would never support such poor behavior. If this continues please come see me. I mean it. If this is what gets me my reports that I need when I need them then it better be followed. Not that they shouldn’t respect you either way. You are here in this job for reason after all.” Gaara stammered.

I cocked my head to the side with a smile, “Well aren’t you cute when you’re flustered.”

He turned beat red, “Um what? I mean I just want to make sure you know that you are valued here and treated correctly… um I need to get back to the office.”

I shrugged it off and continued with my work scolding the Ninjas who came in and tried to make and leave messes.

…

I finished my day and I went back to my quarters in the Kazekage’s compound. It has a sitting room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a full bathroom. It’s quite spacious. One of the reasons I put up with the bs I go through is for this space. It has good benefits for a job Ninjas constantly treat you like shit for. Most staff in the compound aren’t Ninjas though they don’t seem to have as much of an issue with the ninjas as I do. Only the gaurds are trained Ninjas. Though the difference between me and the other staff is that I have some authority and they don’t like that.

I changed into comfortable pajamas and plopped down on my couch when there was a knock on my door. I shuffled to the door and opened it up. Outside stood Kazekage Gaara. I bowed deeply, “Lord Kazekage! I… I wasn’t expecting anyone. What brings you here? Is something wrong?”

He seemed to have a pink dusting over his cheeks. It was cute… wait did I just call the Kazekage cute? At least I said it in my head this time and not out loud. He took a moment before speaking, “Nothings wrong, just wanted to stop and apologize again for the way that you have been treated here. It was unacceptable and I want you to know that I won’t tolerate such juvenile behavior. You are an essential member of my staff and not a single one of my staff should ever be treated as less than no matter their status. So please notify my secretary if this ever happens again to you or anyone else on staff.”

I looked at him trying to read him because other than the light blush he was like a complete wall and unreadable. I nodded slowly trying to figure out what was happening. “Um… I know… this isn’t on you and it’s alright… it’s not like I’m going to die over it.”

He gave me a look for just a moment breaking the stoic one he was holding. “A file room that isn’t maintained here, very well could lead to some serious issues. But that isn’t why you deserve to be treated with respect. You are a member of my staff and that alone entitles you to be treated with respect and dignity. Again I apologize for your treatment here… good night.”

“Good night Lord Kazekage.” I bowed deeply again before closing the door when he turned to leave.

…

I did have an easier time now that the Kazekage got involved, though I still don’t know why he did. After all he is a very busy man. He runs the whole village and does more than his share to keep it safe. Today I was putting in the compound orders, as in cleaning supplies, office supplies, and equipment for the guards. I was typing away on my computer in my quaint office when I got a knock. I keep my door open so I just looked up and for the third time this week found the Kazekage standing before me. I stood up and bowed, “Lord Kazekage, what brings you here? Surely little ol me doesn’t warrant a visit from such a busy and important person.”

He stepped in and took a seat in front of my desk and for a second I could see the young man he actually was behind the responsibilities placed on his shoulders. He gathered his thoughts before speaking, “Well…the first time I came to see you I had over heard two of my ninjas talking about you and was curious about what they were talking about… but then I met you and …”

He was rambling and honestly I wasn’t following until his brother, Kankuro, walked past the door saying, “Just ask her out for god’s sake! Don’t overthink it!”

I chuckled as Gaara turned beat red. “Oh? Is that why you stopped by my quarters? And now that’s why you are here? Do you want to ask or should I?”

He ran his hands through his hair, “Um…. (Y/n), I was hoping for um a date with you… maybe to dinner?”

I smiled, “I think dinner would be nice. Is there a particular time that suits you best?”

He took a breath, “Uh tomorrow at six?”

“Okay, sounds good how about you come to my quarters and I will make you dinner.” I flirted.

“You want to make me dinner?” He questioned rather shyly.

“I would love to cook for you. I might not be the best cook but I promise it’s edible.” I chuckled.

He smiled, “That would be nice. I haven’t had a home cooked meal in ages. Thank you for the talk and agreeing to the date… I will see you tomorrow?”

“I will see you tomorrow, Lord Kazekage.”

He paused at the door, “Please, call me Gaara. Have a good evening Miss.(y/n).”

“Alright, you have a good evening too Gaara-sama.”

…

I got off work a little early so I could stop at the store before heading back and starting dinner for myself and Gaara. I wasn’t a great cook but I think my chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is pretty decent so that’s what I was cooking and a bottle of red wine in the fridge.

I had just finished setting the the table when I got a knock on the door. I opened up the door and there he was standing straight and tall, with those soft sea foam eyes gazing at me. It was my turn to blush. “Lorrr I mean Gaara-Sama please come in. I just set the table.”

Gaara handed me a bouquet of flowers, “I brought you some flowers. I hope they are to your liking.”

I take the flowers and hold them to my nose, “They are beautiful, thank you.”

I lead him in quickly as I take care of the flowers and pulled out the bottle of wine. “Do you drink red wine?”

He nodded, “Yes thank you. This all smells amazing. Thank you.”

I chuckled as I finished pouring us wine, “Are you always this formal?”

He blushed, “l… I don’t know… I just don’t want to mess this up. I really like you and I can’t even explain it. But I don’t know how to do this I have never been on a date before.”

I nodded, “Well. Just do your best to relax. If formal suits you best that’s fine. It’s just us.”

He smiled and we slowly found a rhythm as we talked and ate our dinner.

I went to clear our plates but Gaara quickly took them, “Please, you cooked. Let me do the cleaning. I will be done in just a moment.”

I plopped down on my couch and waited patiently for him to return. When he did, he sat next to me with impeccable posture. I tucked my feet under one of his thighs. He looked at me but didn’t say anything. “So uh want to watch a movie with me?”

He nodded, “That would be nice.”

“Are you comfortable? You know you can make yourself at home.” I could see the gears inside his head going but his face held solid. He stayed quiet so I moved to pick a movie on Netflix. I found a good rom-com and asked, “Is this okay? We can pick something else but keep in mind I don’t do scary movies.”

He nodded, “This is fine. Why don’t you do scary movies?”

I chuckled, “Because they’re scary and I won’t sleep for weeks.”

He smirked, “I suppose I can’t blame you. Though you live in one of the most secure buildings in Suna.”

“No one said fear was logical.” I countered playfully.

Finally he seemed to relax and lose the stiffness. He slumped into the couch and I moved to snuggle into his side. He glanced down at first looking unsure what he should do so I pulled back, “If snuggling makes you uncomfortable we don’t have to.”

He paused for a moment and thought for just a second, “No, I want to… I just never had someone want to be so close to me before. It’s different…. Honestly I didn’t think you were going to say yes when I asked you out… It was my brother who encouraged me to ask. I was certain that you would say no and if you did agree to it, it was because of my position.”

I nodded, “Oh… was that why you were so reserved all this time?” He nods, “Well I assure you if I didn’t want to go on a date with you I would not have invited you into my quarters. I would have chosen some place much more public so if I needed to I could walk away easily.”

He chuckled, “That’s smart. I didn’t think of that. But what if during this date something went wrong?”

I shrugged, “I was pretty sure it wouldn’t. Soooo cuddles?”

Gaara reached out his arm gesturing for me to come close. I smiled and dived down for some cuddles. Gaara’s arm encircled me pulling me close. He smelled like sandalwood, and his body though layered with the Kazekage robes, I could feel just how solid he was. His breath was steady and his heart beat strong and steady, it slowly lulled me to sleep.

I woke up tucked into my bed. I got up and got ready for the day. I walked into my kitchen to find a little note left for me.

Hope you slept well. You look cute when you’re asleep. I will be busy the next couple of weeks but hopefully I can see you again.

Gaara

I smiled at the sweet note and went about my day. I checked the file room like I do every day but unlike normal, there were very few errors to fix. So I went about checking supplies which with the size of this place takes some time. I do this for two reasons, one sometimes people forget to tell me we need something and two just to check with staff and see if they need help with anything. It also allows me to see what needs to get done around the building I guess. It’s a never ending cycle.

I sat on top of my desk sending out emails to the department heads, (cleaning morning and night shift, maintenance morning and night shift, the part time file clerk, and gaurd though their email is just so they know what’s going on) The email was for new staff updates and training, what needs to be worked on or improved upon. And lastly what would help each group keep morale up. When I got a little surprise from a certain red head.

“Do you always sit on tables?” He asked light heartedly.

I smiled, “I don’t sit on dining tables or side tables.”

He chuckled as he walked into my small office, “Oh well that’s good to know.”

“I thought that you were going to be busy today.”

“I might be playing hooky for a meeting I’m supposed to be in.”

Leaned forward to wrap my arms around his neck. I leaned my head close enough to feel his breath on my lips. “Well then maybe I should reward you with a kiss hmm?” Upon hearing the hitch in his breath I closed the gap, kissing him deeply. He groaned and pulled back quickly after.

“I’m so sorry I don’t know what came over me.” He stammered.

I chuckled and set my computer aside. “Well I do. And while I don’t mind, we’re in my office. What will people say?”

He blushed, “What?”

“Just giving you a hard time. But I’m sure after a few more dates I wouldn’t mind.”

He swallowed, “while I appreciate the offer… I have to decline… I don’t think I am ready for that step yet.”

I played with the hair at the nape of his neck, “If you aren’t ready and I am moving too fast, you never have to apologize for speaking up on what you feel and need.”

…

We quietly dated and often I was a little bit more ready for each step but I understood that he had reservations. After all he had been through quite a bit. Today we munched on the snacks I had in my cupboard on my couch, he brought his work with him and for the most part the only sound was the tv. I had my feet tucked under his thighs to have some sort of contact. I watched my favorite tv series. I got used to coexisting with little interaction. I glanced over at him and his stack of papers, I heaved a sigh, “You hungry? I think I might start dinner.”

He looked up at me for the first time in what felt like forever, “Oh, um. Kind of actually but you know I can just have the kitchen do it.”

I shrugged, “I don’t have anything else to do right now so I might as well.”

He nodded, “Alright… (y/n)….”

I stopped and looked back at him, “Yes?”

“I…. I’m not good at this and I often talk to Kankuro about our dates and he has pointed out that you might be… being polite about this situation. And I think he’s right… Right? I know I can be a bit oblivious.”

“Gaara, I understand that you have a never ending stream of work… but I would be lying if I told you that it didn’t bother me that we don’t have conversations beyond the basic pleasantries. A little attention would be nice sometimes but I know it’s not easy for you. It’s not an easy balance. You know this has been our longest conversation all month.”

He nodded thoughtfully, “I see… I suppose I have been a little absent… I can start with being present at dinner.”

I smiled and shuffled over to give him a quick kiss, “That would be nice. Now how does a BLT sound?”

He gives me a peck back and smiles, “Sounds good.”

…

We started having one hour a week for just us time. This week was snuggling time. “You smell good today.” I hummed.

He chuckled and kissed my head, “Naruto gifted me this new cologne. I wasn’t sure about it but I’m glad you like it… sweetheart?”

“Hmmm….?”

He shifted me in his arms, “Um… why do you stay with me? I didn’t even realize I wasn’t giving you attention until you said something and Kankuro pointed out being in the same room isn’t actually being together. I guess what I mean is I haven’t put into our relationship the same that you do.”

“And what do you think I put into it?”

“You bring me out of my office, plan our sit ins, you make our meals, you tell me about your day and even though I usually give you the same response… I’m completely obtuse, and you are completely aware of me.”

I raised my eyebrows, “You sound pretty aware yourself. Gaara, I don’t have nearly as much responsibility as you do. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Sure sometimes I might feel a little lonely but I know you care. I know you see me. We have a different kind of relationship is all. Sure I would love more contact and affection but it’s important we go at a pace we are both comfortable with. So if baby steps is where you are at then that’s is perfectly fine.”

He leans me back onto the couch with his eyes shining, “If you will still have me… I think I would like to go to the next step.”

“What step is that, baby?” I hummed as I ran my hands over his muscular arms that that encircled me.

“I… I think I am ready… for intercourse.”

I chuckled but shifted under him to allow him to settle between my legs, “Always so formal but if you want to… I don’t mind.” I reached down and wriggled out of my panties. I took his hand and guided it down to my folds. I leaned up and kissed him as I reached to palm him through his pants. He awkwardly started prodding at my entrance. So I pushed him back, “Here, let me show you how to help prep me.”

I reached down and delicately began to work myself as he watched intently. After a little bit of watching he swatted my hand away and began to play with me himself. His fingers were calloused but still ginger as they swept into me. I moaned as I tossed my head back. “Gaara…” I moaned as I quickly undressed the rest of the way. “Please…. Give it to me.” I tugged at his layered clothes.

He sat up and removed his clothes. He climbed back over me. “Um… may I?” He asked as he clumsily lined himself up with me. I nodded and he began to slowly enter me.

I let out a whimper as he was quite thick and lengthy as he stretched me out around him. He was slow with his pace. He pushed all the way in, before pulling almost all the way out again. His eyes were screwed shut tight as he pumped in and out. I bucked my own hips to meet his thrusts. The room might of had a tv going but all I could hear were the sounds of our moans mixing and the steady sound of our skin slapping together. He gained a confidence as he picked up the pace then suddenly stop, flip me over and slammed back into my weeping hole. He groaned and panted as his fingers would surely leave bruises on my hips.

He hit just the right spot sending me over the edge. My own climax pulled Gaara with me, spilling his seed inside of me. Both of us collapsed, I on the couch and he on top of me. He kissed at my shoulders as we both came down from our highs. After a good minute Gaara adjusted us so that I was laying on his chest. His fingers danced over the skin of my back. I hummed happily and what felt like the first time in forever, we just savored each other. He dropped a kiss on my head and hummed, “That was amazing my love.”

I peak up at him, “love?”

His cheeks are pink as he nodded, “yeah… I um… I think it’s safe to say that I love you… I love you so much. I don’t know if I have ever felt anything like this before… sweetheart?”

“Hmmm?”

“Will you marry me? I know being my wife won’t be the most glamorous or even as easy as a normal marriage but I can say that every night I will share a bed with you. That I will hold you every night, though I can’t promise you much more time awake together than l have now but…”

“Yes… on one condition.” He nodded and I continued. “If I get pregnant, you’ll carve time out for just them too. And more than just family dinner.”

He nodded seriously, “I understand. Children are quite a serious thing… and I did just… I accept your condition. I will train them if you are to become pregnant. They will know that they are loved. Though you should know that I am not great with kids.”

“As long as you love them.” I giggled and we shared a kiss. He smiled too.

“Shall I take you to bed?” He hummed and I agreed. That night we snuggled in my bed.

I woke to an empty bed. I got up to move about my day. I was restocking the file room when I got a visit from Gaara’s assistant. “The Kazekage has requested your presence in his office.”

I quickly made my way over to his office, “Gaara-sama? Is everything alright?”

Gaara looked up from his work at his desk with a smile, “sweetheart! Come in! I wanted to ask you your ring size. I want to get you a proper ring but I have no idea what size you are.”

“Oh! Um (your size). That’s sweet of you to think of me like that.” I hummed as I walked in to give him a kiss.

He wrapped a hand around my waist and pulled me close, “Kankuro said it’s traditional to give the woman you plan to marry a ring. I wouldn’t want you to think that I didn’t value you. I care quite deeply for you… which is why I asked Kankuro about the traditions in marriages. He said I should get you a ring…. But I’m not sure the type which he said I should talk to you about it.”

I moved to sit on his lap, “why don’t we go out to pick out matching rings together.”

“You sure? If we do that people may start talking about you in a different way.” He hummed rubbing my thighs.

“You are about to become my husband, I don’t think we can help that for much longer unless you are planning on keeping me your little secret.” I teased.

“I suppose you’re right but I can’t help worrying. I don’t want you to be put on the spot because of me. I don’t want you to be be treated any kind of way… you know what I mean.”

I kissed at his neck and hummed, “I don’t care what anyone else thinks of me. You and I are all that matters. I love you so much.”

“I love…mmm… you too…” he moaned as I worked his sweet spot. “Baby, please I need to get this work done. I promise I will get off work early so that we can go pick out a ring.”

I gave him one last kiss, “Alright, I will behave. See you tonight…. One more kiss?”

“Ok but just one.” He kissed me and I made my way out of the office back to work.

I worked efficiently and quickly until Gaara came and found me, “alright love let’s go find you a ring, I got the shop open for just us. You can pick whatever you want.”

“If I didn’t know better I would have thought that you were showing off.” I giggled taking his hand in mine.

The shop was dark but each sales rep had pulled out several displays out. The manager shuffled up quickly and bows deeply, “Lord Kazekage, it’s an honor. Please come in and take your time.”

Gaara placed a hand on my lower back, “My fiancé here will be picking it out as it is for her.”

The manager bowed to me this time, “Please allow me to help you pick out a ring as beautiful as you.” We follow him around until we come across a beautiful red ruby center surrounded by diamonds with twisted silver band that is also studded in diamonds.

“It matches your hair.” I hummed “but what do you think of it?”

Gaara peered over my shoulder, “Is that a good thing?”

“That it reminds me of you?” I hummed as I reached up and kissed him, “of course it is!”

The manager nodded, “I couldn’t agree more with the young madam.”

He smiled ever so lightly, “Is that the one?”

“Yes. It’s perfect, do you want to put it on me?” I squealed excitedly.

Gaara pinched his brows together in confusion, “why?”

The manager answered, “It’s tradition! It’s traditional for the man to put the engagement ring onto his betrotheds finger.”

Gaara nodded taking the ring form me and then slipped it onto my finger. Gaara kissed me, “Alright so how much do I owe?”

The manager had them step aside to settle the cost. He came back and led me back to my apartment in the compound. He took my hands before we stepped into my quarters, “I was thinking… maybe we should move you into my quarters…. It’s bigger and nicer and closer to my office. It’ll be easier for us to have time together.”

“I think that makes sense I will pick up some boxes tomorrow to get started on working on that.”

…

Gaara’s quarters were significantly larger and definitely nicer than my own. I took always got off work before Gaara and would be alone in the large place. Today I sat in the den with my poster board and little table and name tags trying to plan our wedding reception. The few friends and family we had was easy to sit but the difficult part was sitting the political people we had to invite. Knowing what nation doesn’t get along with another was absolutely ridiculous thing that I didn’t want to deal with but Gaara said it was what the elders insisted upon. Gaara says that’s just how things are for him as the Kazekage. Everything is a political move for him with the exception of myself. I eventually decided I wasted enough time on it and went to start dinner. His kitchen was immaculate before I moved in, now it’s always a bit messy which he never complains about. I finished prepping and putting the dish in the oven.

By the time I pulled out the dish Gaara walks in looking… like he’s been in the field. “Gaara? What happened?” I asked abandoning the dish on the counter and ran to him.

He didn’t say much but kind of brushed past me, “Why is it always a mess?”

“Bad day I see. I’m going to zoom past that attitude though. You going to tell me what is going on or what?”

“Nothing just the village had an attack I had to deal with and now this mess. You know for a office manager who is so organized you are such a hot mess” He glared.

“Excuse you, I have been planning our wedding alone and I make you dinner every night. I don’t know what you are complaining about but you have never complained about any of this before so do you want to try again or am I going to stay with a friend until you are ready to use your words?” I asked with my eyebrows raised.

He huffed, “Let’s just eat dinner and take a shower I’m exhausted.”

… we ate in silence and he cleared the table before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the lavish bathroom. “Gaara?” I questioned.

He looked at me with this exhausted look, “baby… please I just need something good today… please…”

I sighed, “Alright but I don’t like the attitude I got a minute ago. I started to strip and he followed suit.

“I know I know… I should be talking things out but I’m not used to it… are you ready?” He asked as he moved to take off his pants.

I simply move to turn on the very luxurious rain shower. I loved his shower he quickly joined me. “I absolutely love this shower, I could spend all day in it.” I hummed.

He slowly stepped in behind me, his fingers slide over my wet skin and pulled me back into him. He laid kisses over my shoulder and prodded my but with his hard cock. He hummed at the stimulation and he quickly reached down to rub circles on my pearl. I let my head lull back onto his shoulder. He eventually pushed me forward so that I would be against the wall with my hips back for him to easily line up with my entrance and glide in. Gaara bucked his hips with a singular focus. He moaned with one last thrust and when he stilled inside of me spilling his seed deep inside, I could feel him beginning to shake and sob.

I panicked and twirled around and pulled him into my arms, “Baby! What’s wrong?”

He peppered me in kisses, “My love, you have been so open and patient with me. I just snapped at you and you simply treat me like you do even though I just yelled at you for no real reason other than that I had a hard day at work. I don’t know what you think about me but I can’t imagine it’s good.”

I chuckled, “I’m sorry I don’t mean to laugh but you had a bad day and needed a release. I understand that and I don’t want you to be upset about it. I get it…” I brushed my fingers against his cheeks.

“I am so sorry and I am so glad that I have you.”

Spoilers for Lavender Sand | Chapter 2 | Rated T

As the meetings broke off into groups of topics, people moved to who they needed to speak to, shifting around the room. Hinata stood by her father until he signaled with a subtle flick of his wrist behind his back. She instructed Hanabi to stay while she moved around to play her part as the easy-to-approach Hyuga. People took the bait, dropping hints that showed their true nature when they spoke to her. Eventually, she turned away from a conversation and came face to face with bright purple face paint.

Hinata flinched back to focus her eyes on the Suna male. “I’m so sorry.”

“Hyuga, right?” Oh, she almost ran into him because he was about to get her attention?

Hinata bowed her head respectfully. “Yes, Hinata Hyuga.”

He shifted stiffly. “Your clan is important to the decisions made by the Konoha, right?”

Hinata chose her words carefully, always. “Yes, our clan is a large part of the community. We are considered in most decisions made by the village.”

“I’m Kankuro.” Kankuro pointed to the Kazekage, who sat next to the Hokage, glaring at the table like he was trying to set it on fire. Yet, Naruto was talking at him with the biggest smile. “Adviser to my brother Gaara, the current Kage of Suna.” So they were related. Gaara. She recognized that name. Naruto spoke highly of him, but she couldn’t place any details other than that.

“Pleased to meet you.” Hinata bit down on her tongue before taking a risk. “He doesn’t look very happy today, does he?”

Kankuro’s face twitched, making another uncomfortable face. “No, he never really is.” Red flag. Was his brother scared of him? Had they fought? The Kazakage didn’t seem like someone you would want to have a disagreement with. He looked like a man who would make a strong stance and not care to listen to yours, but you couldn’t guess everything on looks.

“Will you be handling relations with the clan then?” It explained why he approached her so awkwardly.

“That’s the idea, an important year for peace and all.” Kankuro’s moved his wary look from his brother and focused on her. Hinata smiled to ease his worry, offering for them to sit. She sat up straighter. Kankuro was taller by two heads, at least.

“Are Hyuga women all so beautiful?” Kankuro sat beside her, giving her a crooked grin, changing his demeanor with the subject.

Hinata faulted as a blush crept to her face. That was a complete change of mood. “That’s a matter of opinion, Kankuro-san.” Hinata attempted to will away the redness, but the confident grin he gave her didn’t help. Men had made comments all morning. Honestly, this was the first comment to be a little charming. She was sick of hearing men twice or more her age make passing comments on her purity and ‘birthing hips.’

Kankuro was pleasant. They spoke about how the Hyuga influenced the village. How and why their decisions mattered. He kept an upbeat, cheery demeanor but occasionally tossed a wary glance at his brother like he was waiting to be scolded. Hinata took one of those as a chance to ask about him. Kankuro dodged her by giving her another compliment or turning the question around on her.

“Hinata-chan?” Hanabi whispered over her shoulder. “Can I sit with you for a while?”

Hinata motioned to the chair beside her. Hanabi was starting to look worn. These events took a lot out of you, and it only got worse by the day.

“This is Kankuro-san. Kazekage’s advisor and elder brother.” Hinata motioned to him. “Kankuro-san, this is my younger sister, Hanabi-chan.” Hinata introduced them. Hanabi bowed her head like a lady. Good girl.

“See what I said? Hyuga’s are beautiful.” Kankuro commented.

Hanabi didn’t even flinch, merely thanked him with a proud smile. Hinata wished she had her sister’s confidence. She was still trying to flush blood from her cheeks.

“The Kazekage doesn’t look like he wants to be here.” Hanabi got a tap from Hinata’s finger on her leg, telling her no, but it was too late.

“No. Not really, but he always looks like that when he’s working. He probably would have just sent us if it weren’t for his little friend.” Kankuro gave another glance to his brother. Hinata was starting to get the impression he wasn’t worried about getting caught doing something he shouldn’t but rather about what his brother might do if he wasn’t being watched.

“Naruto-kun?” Hinata wondered. Kankuro nodded.

“Why?” Hanabi pressed.

Kankuro’s eyebrows came down in confusion. “You haven’t heard about him?”

The two Hyuga girls shook their heads.

Kankuro sat straighter, shifting his eyes, unsure how to word himself. “My brother is not known for good things. As the vessel to the one tails, he’s been known as the monster of Suna. He’s been a respectable leader, but he has a past of being ruthless and harsh, with no remorse for killing his enemies. All that isn’t easily forgotten. It’s built him a reputation that he lives up to. He’s usually fine when in a calm social setting, but he’s still fierce when working. Unfortunately, he’s a workaholic.”

Hinata’s heart broke for him as she remembered all that Naruto went through growing up a vessel. Naruto grinned like all was good in the world, shouting to the Kazekage, who glared at him with only a distaste for his volume.

“It must be hard on him to be considered that way. It’s cruel. It’s not the child’s fault that the last generation decided they should take on a demon. It can’t be easy growing up, managing a whole other being inside you.” Hinata turned her sad gaze from Gaara to Kankuro, who looked like she slapped him. “I’m sorry?” Has she missed something, lost her thoughts? Did she say something out of line? Hanabi was just as confused as she did.

Kankuro held his hand up, whipping his head around, looking for someone. “Can you excuse me for a moment?” What had she said that caused such a reaction? Kankuro ungracefully weaved through the room to the other Suna-nin, hastily dragging her from her conversation with Shikamaru. When had he come in? Was he a security detail?

The woman became irritated, but with a few whispers, her face slowly twisted into the same thoughtful shock as Kankuro had.

Had Hinata said something insensitive for Suna culture? Hanabi shook her head. She was just as lost.

The Suna set approached, prompting Hanabi to stand up. “I think they will want to talk to you alone,” Hinata felt that too, but she wasn’t sure why. Hanabi squeezed her hand before disappearing to return to her father’s side.

“Temari, this is Hinata Hyuga. Hinata, this is my sister Temari.” Temari was everything Hinata wasn’t, tall, tan, strong, and confident.

Hinata bowed, hiding her confusion. “Pleased to meet you.”

Temari sat, throwing one of her long legs over the other. “Hinata, have you met the Kazekage yet?”

Hinata sat straighter, tucking her crossed ankles under the chair more. “No, but Naruto-kun said good things if memory serves.” Hinata looked over at the tailed-beast holders again. Another pain hit her heart, seeing Gaara’s scowl at the world. Why were they treated like monsters? They both had to work so much harder to become strong leaders of their people.

Turning back to the Kazekage siblings, they both gave her an odd look.

Temari broke the silence between the three. “Do you know the village well, Hinata?”

“Yes,” Hinata answered.

“If you’re not busy after the meeting, could you take my brothers on a tour? Naruto was going to take them, but he will be caught in paperwork for the Hokage.” Temari looked back over to Shikamaru, who might actually be asleep against the wall he was leaning on.

Kankuro leaned forward. “Temari wants to take off with the bum.” He received an elbow in his rib cage for the comment, which he rubbed viciously. “Hey!”

“I’m not sure if I’m the best to do so, but I can do my best.” Hinata agreed.

Temari lit up. “Perfect.”

--**--

Hinata fiddled with her fingers as she waited by the door. She felt much more nervous about this arrangement now that she knew her father had spoken to Kankuro before she had. Of course, he mentioned her eligibility. Hinata hadn’t considered Kankuro, a possible suitor, but his sister’s proposed tour made more sense now. It was a set-up.

Brother to the current Kage of Suna was a high enough status for the Hyuga council.

Hiashi warned her not to offend them. He didn’t need an ‘or else,’ but if she wasn’t self-conscious taking the two most eligible males in Suna on a tour alone before, she was now.

Two sets of footsteps approached, prompting Hinata to straighten her back and force a smile. She deliberately clasped her hands behind her back to stop fidgeting. “Ready to start?”

The Kazekage stared her down as if she should already know the answer. Kankuro nodded, returning her smile. She was very aware of the Kazekage’s distaste. Was it for her or because Naruto wasn’t the one taking them? Hinata led them out the door and down the steps, squeezing her hands behind her to calm her nerves. She kept a speed that would be comfortable for their long legs, sacrificing the usual casual pace, especially in heeled shoes. She kept her shoulders straight and her head tall. She was probably failing. She probably looked like a walking chicken or worse.

Hinata turned her head over her shoulder. “Was there something you wanted to see first?” It felt uncomfortable to be leading. She was always a step behind her father, Neji, and Shino.

“Gaara has been taken to see the Hokage mountainside, but I haven’t,” Kankuro answered. Gaara said nothing, so Kankuro determined where they went. Gaara’s glare became darker when their eyes met. She took the hint and faced forward.

Kankuro took to walking beside her, which she was grateful for. He asked about landmarks on the way, which she answered to the best of her ability. Gaara stayed silent, which prompted her to continuously check if he was still there. They nearly made it to their destination when he finally spoke up. “We’ve gone the wrong way.”

“What do you mean?” Hinata hadn’t made any odd turns and took the shortest way.

“This isn’t where Naruto took me,” Gaara explained as he crossed his arms.

“Oh! Well, that’s because I like the view from up here better. Fewer people come up this way. Naruto likes to stand right in front of it… or on it.” Hinata mumbled the worst attempt at a joke.

Gaara’s crossed arms tighten. Hinata wasn’t sure what to do. Should she show him her spot or do things Naruto’s way from this point on?

“We can always see it from upfront. I want to see what you got.” Kankuro passed her, though his voice didn’t seem sure of himself like he was testing his brother’s limits for the day.

Gaara’s shoulders stiffened more before he gave an audible heavy breath, following his brother up past her. Hinata closed her eyes to collect herself for just a moment. Letting out a silent sigh of relief as she followed them, glad to be in the back of their small group.

Kankuro climbed the hill. “Awesome.” Gaara soon joined his side, gazing out over the village toward the mountainside.

Hinata attempted not to let on that her heels were sinking into the dirt. “It’s not the detail you will see from standing in front of it. But it looks more like spirits are coming from the mountain from here.” Hinata looked out over the mountain with them. As a child, she thought it looked like they were pressing their faces through the mountain. She used to have dreams of a full person coming out and walking over the village. Maybe those were nightmares. “We can still go right up to see it if you like.” She offered, seeing how Gaara’s mood hadn’t improved.

“Maybe later. I like this one.” Kankuro answered, not realizing she wasn’t asking him.

“Kazekage-sama?” Hinata added to be more specific.

Gaara turned only his eyes to the side at her, then returned them to the mountain. “This is adequate.”

Hinata shriveled inside. She hoped he would at least enjoy the new point of view. “Whenever you’re ready, I can take you through the town. I can go the way Naruto-kun likes.” Hinata wasn’t taking any more chances of offending the Kage. He already didn’t like her for merely not being Naruto.

“Sure.” Kankuro turned to go back down the hill. Gaara followed him. Arms still crossed, shoulders still tense. Hinata stepped forward, feeling her heel sink into the ground again. This was going to be a long day.

Lavender Sand

Pairing: Gaara x Hinata Rating: T

Description: Hinata reluctantly agrees to have a political marriage, but will marrying an unlikely friend be all that bad? Gaara isn't even looking to marry, but when presented with the opportunity and with Naruto's approval, maybe it will all work out.

When the youngest son of the Kazekage was born, around the same time, a girl was born.

One is a monster.

One is claimed to rival the intellect of those in the Nara clan.

Both were born for each other. [Name] was trained for the longest time, by the best shinobi the village had to offer, to protect their best weapon.

A master for a sword.

But she didn't do what they expected her to do. Even though no one would go near Gaara, [Name] was the one who stuck by him, through thick and thin.

It was only a matter of time before they fell in love with each other. And the moment Gaara became Kazekage, she became Anbu Captian and the Head of the entire army the Sand Village had to offer. The second most powerful, right behind Gaara.

And everyone knew not to say bad things about the Kazakage when she was around. It always ended with someone in the hospital. And it wasn't her.

They all whispered about how much she loved him. All talked about how the Captian had lost control the minute she saw him.

Saw her life, her everything, her Gaara, motionless, on the ground, being sat on.

Ｈｏｗｄａｒｅｔｈｅｙ？

Sleepless nights, ever since the kidnapping of Gaara reached her ears, while she was on a mission. She came back to the village so fast, that people say she rivalled the speed of the Yellow Flash.

And now they are telling her that he is dead? Dead? No, she refused it. Because when he died, her heart would automatically stop. Her love would kill her right there and then.

And she wasn't dead.

Deidara had only started speaking about art, when his head hit the ground, rolling away from his body.

ʎzɐɹɔ ǝɯ ǝpɐɯ ǝʌol 'ǝɯ ǝɯɐlq ʇ,uoᗡ

Sasori jumped back, shivers running up his back, because of the look in her eyes. The absolute hatred and rage, that promised his death. Those eyes held more death than those of the Tailed Beasts.

In the end, there were two Akatsuki dead, and only one person fighting. The Konoha shinobi were shell shocked. Shocked at how she moved.

But she didn't care. Because Gaara wasn't waking up, no matter how much she shook him.

"Gaara-sama, Gaara-sama!"

There were tears forming in her eyes. She's never cried before. Sakura came around, her hands glowing green with chakra. She glanced up at [Name] before she placed them on his chest.

"Pulse, none. Time of death-"

She was cut off abruptly as [Name] pushed her away, placing her own hands on his chest.

"I was meant to protect. I was made to protect. To serve. He changed me. He saved me. My life is his as long as he exists."

Chiyo's eyes widened as she noticed how the speaking girl manipulated her chakra.

"𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨, 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙂𝙖𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙖𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨 𝙄 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩."

Chiyo gave a hand signal to Sakura, who quickly got up and circled behind [Name]. Who was too busy pouring her life essence into Gaara.

One nerve. Three ounces of pressure. And a distracted captain.

[Name] was unconscious.

Everyone knows how that mission ended.

But after the war. After everything, [Name] got the one order that she dreaded.

ʇɥɓıɹ ʇı ɓuıop ʇ,uıɐ noʎ 'ʇ,usǝop ʇı ɟI

"[Full Name], as of right now you are being taken off of duty for your lack of management during your latest mission."

Her heart dropped.

"I'm sorry?"

Gaara just stared ahead, looking at the wall behind her.

"I'm taking you off duty."

[Name] searched the eyes of her beloved, trying to see if he was messing with her. To see if he was understanding how this would hurt her. Hurt them.

"I didn't do anything wrong."

Gaara's eyes flicked to hers.

"I'm not going to change my mind."

"You can't do this! This is the one constant that's been in my life, Gaara. I'm a damn good shinobi. And, I didn't do anything wrong. I was trying to protect my teammates and eliminate the enemy! It was the best option I could up with! ME! The Genius of this village."

"[Name]-"

"NO! This is bullshit. I know I came back injured, but that's part of the job description! The reason you're giving me is shitty as fuck! I couldn't really think of another fucking escape plan, and I thought being injured but ALIVE was better than being tortured and DEAD."

They were standing toe to toe. She couldn't believe her ears. [Name] understood that her plan wasn't perfect, but her plan promised escape, alive, without any casualties. And that was more than enough for her to take a couple of kunai to her body to escape with her comrades.

"I won't. Change. My. Mind."

"Fine. Then don't talk to me. Because you're not listening."

And with that, [Name] turned and left his office, tears swimming in her eyes.

The next few days, it was absolute radio silence. Neither of them spoke to the other. And Gaara had appointed Temari as the new Captain.

A few days turned into a few weeks and nothing changed. Gaara had gotten better at expressing himself. But that entire fight he had with [Name] still made him want to jump out of the window.

He just didn't want to lose her. He wanted her to be safe. To be with him.

But you were right. It came with the job description. And you were a damn good shinobi. Plus, if you were saying that the plan you came up with was the best option, then you must have thought through everything else.

So, yeah, he realized, he was in the wrong for this. But how was he going to apologize to you after being so dumb?

In the end, he decided a little drink would help him think up a solution. So he dragged along Kankuro and headed over to the nearest bar for some sake.

---

After a couple of drinks, and a complete breakdown on his brother's shoulder, Gaara stumbled his way to the hotel room you were living in.

"[Name]~~, open up baby. I need'ta," he hiccuped, "Need'ta ta'k to you babe."

The door creaked open, and your stoic face showed up in his blurry vision.

"Gaara-sama?" his heart hurt that you used the honorific, one that you had reluctantly left behind. Gaara's eyes flashed, something low and guttural swimming in his eyes. His hands grabbed the edge of the door and pushed it open, while he finally stood up to his full height.

"Don' ta'k like that, baby~"

[Name] looked on, unimpressed but slightly surprised that he was drunk. She led him inside and laid him down on the bed, pulling his shoes off and bringing a bucket to him in case he throws up.

"I'll be leaving now, Gaara-sama. I hope you have a good night's rest."

She turns to leave when a hand catches onto her wrist and yanks. [Name] stumbles backwards and falls into the bed, her back flush against his chest.

"[Name]," his voice vibrated through her body, and she couldn't help but sink into his arms, finally feeling at home after a long time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I should've trusted you, and I can't express how regretful I am I said those things to you, and how mad I am at myself for not trusting you."

Her breathing stills, as she realizes that Gaara wasn't as drunk as he had acted. If anything, he might be just a little tipsy at best.

"I was, I was just so scared of losing you after everything we've been through. Terrified that after all the fighting, blood, and war, I'd lose you and I, I would've never lived."

Turning, [Name] planted a kiss on his lips, his hands immediately flying to her hips and pulling, deepening the kiss.

"It's okay," she replies after pulling away, "I understand how you feel."

Gaara gives her a puzzled look. She laughs, hollow and empty as if she was in a place that robbed her of light.

"That time when the Akatsuki got you, Gaara, I was gone. Terrified, angry, and so sad. So, so sad I wanted to die thinking you were dead. And now, I never, ever want to see that again, so I try to do everything in my power to prevent that from happening."

He just squeezes your hips in return leaning in and touching your foreheads together.

"I think, I'm gonna sign us up for some therapy, and maybe we could have a date tomorrow? Oh and also, you have a lot of work to do 'cause Temari has been doing nothing 'cause she is mad at me."

She laughs, happy and feeling like a burden has been lifted off her shoulders. The rest of the night is spent with laughter and love, feeling as if the two had gotten closer to each other than ever before.
