Caring For Her
A/N An new Naruto fic but has my favourite pairing in it, Hina/Gaara since they're my faves in the anime
I've had an idea all day for an Naruto fic since hearing the news that Disney XD is getting Shippuden but that's a big mistake but that's their problem but I won't be watching it.
In this fic Hinata is struck by an illness where the symptoms are the same as swine flu but it's not that but Gaara wants to nurse her to health.
I hope people especially Naruto fans really enjoy this.
It was daytime in Konoha but somebody was up early.
It was a young kunochi with brunette hair, lavender eyes, slender and very smart but shy.
Her name was Hinata Hyuuga but she had a smile on her face.
She knew that Naruto was on a mission with Sakura and Sasuke but she was waiting for somebody else.
But she was afraid because some of the villagers in Konoha had fallen under a strange illness but the medical ninjas were working on finding a cure for it but that was the mission Naruto along with Sakura and Sasuke were on right now with Kakashi sensei.
"I hope they're okay.
I know they can do this and bring the one who can heal the illness to Konoha." Hinata thought as she went to training.
Kurenai noticed that Hinata was a little peaky but thought nothing of it as she saw Shino show up with Kiba but they were worried because of the illness that had struck the village because many people were either at home or in the infirmary lying in bed and trying to get better.
Tsunade had been trying to find a cure but had failed.
But she had heard legends of a hidden village where most of the ninja were humans but demon and ogre but she'd heard of a sage like Jiraya who had a cure for whatever was making the villagers ill.
She'd sent Kakashi along with Naruto and Sakura and Sasuke to go there and find the sage.
She hoped that Konoha would be safe as it was her duty as the Fifth Hokage to keep the village safe.
She then drank tea while reading medical journals.
Hinata began to feel really weak and tired while training which was strange since that never happened before.
Shino saw Kurenai look shocked as she felt Hinata's forehead.
It was very hot and a fever was beginning to rage.
"Maybe you should go home and rest.
You're don't feel so well." she said as the kunochi shivered.
"N-No I-I'm g-good." she answered shivering.
Kiba watched as she got to her feet slowly.
Kiba was worried along with Shino seeing Hinata like this but they went on with training but Kurenai was keeping a close eye on her just in case something happened but had a feeling it would but then Hinata fell to her knees.
"Hinata are you okay?" Kurenai said as she was by her side.
"I'll...... be okay......" Hinata answered as her eyes closed.
Kurenai was worried but saw Temari appear along with Kankurro and Gaara but the Kazekage looked worried seeing Hinata lying on the ground but Kankurro knew she was ill like the people in Suna.
"She's ill.
Like in our village." he said softly.
Temari watched as Gaara picked Hinata up gently.
She and Kankurro were worried seeing that.
"You shouldn't do that brother.
You might get sick!" Kankurro said.
"Don't worry about me.
My Shakuaku protects me from illness the same way it does from attacks.
Besides Hinata is my friend." Gaara told him.
Temari was confused by this as she saw her brother leave the area with Hinata.
She had a feeling Gaara cared about her.........
Gaara was nervous as he came to Hinata's house.
He wondered where her parents were but didn't want to ask her right now but heard her cough slightly which scared him as they were childhood friends since she'd been in Suna for a while when she was younger.
She had been the only one to care about him back then.
"Please be okay Hinata." he said softly.
He then put a cloth on her head to cool her fever but was very worried.
He had a strange feeling in his heart as he watched Hinata sleep but knew what it was.
It was Love.
For a long time growing up, he didn't understand what Love was until he fought Naruto while he was trying to save Sakura and Sasuke but the young genin with the Nine Tailed Fox in him had shown him that Love made people strong ebough to protect those precious to you.
"Don't worry Hinata.
I will protect you.
You are precious to me." the Kazekage thought.
He then left to get something to eat.
Kankurro was easting at the ramen shop but was thinking about his brother Gaara but about the way he cared about Hinata like that and willing to risk illness to help her.
That surprised him and Temari but moreso him.
He knew that after that battle with Naruto a few days during the final Chunnin Exam tournament, Gaara had began to make changes in his personality which had surprised and amazed them but liked it.
In that time he'd became the new Kazekage of their village Suna.
The villagers had been afraid at first but as time went on, they saw that he had changed and wasn't quite a monster as they thought.
But they had a feeling he cared about Hinata.
But Kankurro was surprised to see Gaara join him.
"Ramen to go please." he told the chef softly handing him a token.
Kankurro smiled at that as the chef handed him a bag with dumplings and a bowl of ramen.
"Thank you." the Kazekage said smiling.
Kankurro was always surprised when his brother smiled.
When he was younger, he never smiled.
But he watched as Gaara left in the direction of Hinata's house......
