A/N: this is technically my 2nd fanfic, but I deleted the first one because, to say the least, it was horrible. I might start it over with major redoing but that's probably not likely. Now enough talking, on with the story!
But the stupid disclaimer comes first... I do not own Naruto.
Running Away
Gaara
A monster. That's how every one saw him. One glimpse of him and they all would cower in fear. He didn't care what they thought though. Only lived to kill them anyway. At night he'd always think about the past, to his childhood. The one person in his life he had ever trusted only to betray him. Pain was always following him, not physical pain, but pain in his chest that stung even worse. But he could never get away. Deep inside he wanted to be able to trust and love one again, but afraid of the pain that would come when betrayed. So he always ran away from even coming close to loving anyone, even his siblings.
Hinata
Invisible. Nobody ever saw her. When she passed they couldn't care less if she was there or not. Her family hated her very existence. Even with all that she was kind and gentle towards others even if they didn't notice. At night before going to bed she would think of the one person who had ever loved her. But she died so soon she could barley even remember her. She wanted to be loved again. But deep inside she was afraid of them leaving her again, never to come back. So she tried to stay away from love and ran away from it.
If the two were always running in the same direction, it would only make sense that they'd run into each other. And they did.
End
I liked how this turned out personally. It could have been a little better, but I'll leave it as it is. Please tell me what you think. I mostly want to know how it could be better! R&R!
