Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. There, I said it. Oh but I do own most of the graphic novels. (Snickerdoodles4u: At least the ones that are out right now. I love you bubba.)

This was the, lets see, 7th, no 8th time they had been in Konoha in the last month. It was so Temari could see her boyfriend, Shino. 'But to tell you the truth,' Gaara thought "I like coming here, that way I can see my precious Ino," Gaara thought aloud.

Temari looked questioningly at him. "What did you just say Gaara?" Temari questioned accusingly "N-nothing!" Gaara replied nervously.

"Yes you did," said Kankuro. "You just said you liked being here so you can see your precious Ino!" Kankuro laughed.

"S-shut up or I'll kill you!" Gaara yelled. Kankuro shut up, but he was still snickering. Just then, Ino came walking past and asked what they had been talking about

"Oh Gaara here was about to confess his lo-," Kankuro never finished that sentence. Gaara was glaring holes in him, so he decided to shut his trap.

"Oh ok then," Ino said, "Here have a free flower! Courtesy of the Yamanaka flower shop!" she exclaimed.

"T-thanks," Gaara said 'I'm getting a flower from the girl I like,' thought Gaara.

"Hey Ino, have you seen my boyfriend, Shino, anywhere? We have a date tonight he said he's going to cook for me!" Temari cooed.

"Yeah. I saw him buying ingredients at the store. Oh and I probably shouldn't tell you, but he also bought the biggest bouquet this afternoon. I didn't know he could be so romantic," Ino commented.

"I bet you wish you could be that romantic with Ino. Hey Ino, Gaara wants to go on a date with you!" Kankuro yelled before Gaara could stop him.

"Sure! As long as we don't go to the ramen shop," Ino replied. "Pick me up at seven. Don't be late!" She hurried home to get ready.

Gaara was to stunned to even try and kill Kankuro at this point

WITH INO

'What was I thinking when I said yes to Gaara?' Ino thought, as she was getting ready for her date…with Gaara. She was going on a date with not only the creepiest guy she had ever met, but the Kazekage too, unbe-freakin-lievable. 'Oh well,' she thought, 'He is kind of cute.' She thought he looked like a panda.

"Ino your date is here!" She heard her dad yell.

"Coming!" Ino replied. So they went to the barbeque, and actually had a pretty nice time. They saw Shino. He said he burned dinner, but wasn't going to tell Temari, and that he was just going to pass the barbeque as his own creation. By the end of the night, Gaara and Ino shared their first kiss.

So tell me what you think about the first chapter flame if you want and give me advice. Plz tell me if you think its going too fast with Gaara and Ino. Do you want to see some Shino and Temari action too, or just hints on it? Plz, I need your help.

Snickerdoodles4u: Of course he doesn't know I'm doing this, but he needed a beta. I had to take matters into my own hands.
