Gaara's Angel
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto.
Naruto had luckily decided to take a walk today. He was the first to hear Gaara yell. He heard it when he was going by the forest. "AHHHHHHHHHHH HELP HEL-AHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I'M COMING DON'T WORRY!" He was panicking himself and didn't know what to do.
"HELP NARUTO, FOR BLOODY'S SAKES HELP!" Naruto decided to find Gaara and help as he said he would. But just as he was about to run into the woods, Temari ran up to him and said, "I heard Gaara yelling for help. He hasn't yelled like that for a long time." She raced into the forest followed closely by Naruto.
When they found Gaara he was in a clearing. They thought maybe he had hurt himself falling over or something but they saw the blood gushing from his shoulders. There was a kunai shoved deeply into his shoulder. "Gaara!" Temari shouted as she rushed up to him.
Naruto didn't know what to do so he just stared at his friend with wide eyes. "Well don't just stand there help me!" While Naruto and Temari tried to get him up, Gaara emitted a low groan.
"Gaara, what happened?" The reply was a small moan. They half-carried half-dragged Gaara out of the clearing where they started the long journey back to Sakura's house, where hopefully she would have her medical kit.
Unnoticed by all, Tenten slunk from the trees, having seen exactly what happened to Gaara, and told nobody of it. Kept her mouth closed when she heard that the legendary Gaara was attacked and only gave a slight smirk when they asked who it was. No one would ever know who actually attacked Gaara, she was confident of that. Oh, He would be happy. He would be extremely happy. And if He kept his promise, they would both be greatly rewarded.

When Gaara awoke, his eyelids felt extremely heavy and he couldn't open them. He heard voices around him, talking about different things.
"I heard that Lee was found dead in the forest today."
"Yeah, I heard that too. Sakura is so upset; she doesn't know what she's going to do. They were only married a couple months, and with the baby coming."
"Well, maybe Sasuke will realize that he wronged her and come back."
"I doubt it."
Gaara heard a door open and footsteps clattering on the floor towards him. "How's Gaara doing?"
"Better than he was yesterday, good thing you found him, Naruto or he'd probably have bled to death." When Gaara had heard 'Naruto' he tried to open his eyes, and failed. He tried again after they were done talking and partially succeeded. His eyes half open, he examined where he was. A great white room he recognized as the infirmary. Temari and Hinata were standing over him, and Naruto sitting at the foot of his bed.
"What- what happened?" Gaara attempted to sit up, but failed when Temari abruptly pushed him back down.
"We could ask you the same thing."
"I-I think that there were two people."
"That's a start." said Naruto. Gaara felt the darkness start to fall over him again, and his eyelids started to droop.
"Shut up." Temari said. Gaara leaned back on his pillow, and closed his eyes.
"W-well I know that one was trying to get my attention from the trees and then the other one rushed me from behind with a kunai. And I'm pretty sure that the one in the trees was a girl with buns on her head." Gaara said and once again fell into the comforting black of sleep.
Temari and Hinata let there eyes grow wide. "What is it?" Naruto said.
"We have known a girl with buns long enough to now that- that… oh I can't say it!" Hinata cried out.
And Temari said with a dark face, "It was Tenten."
Narutos eyes grew wide and he said, "But-but I was dating Tenten!! And then she-well- she disappeared."
"Or that was what she wanted us to think," said Temari, still dark faced.
All of a sudden Kakashi walked into the room, his one visible eye downcast and solemn. "What is it Kakashi?"
"They just found lady Tsunade dead in the forest." Kakashi said in a broken voice. He bowed his head, and they watched in astonishment as the sobs rippled over Kakashi's body. Naruto stood and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Tsunade had been Kakashi's fiancé.
"Why? Why are these people killing others? What did we do?" Hinata sat down on the bed, and felt Gaara stir. She never liked him. He was always just trying to draw attention to himself with all his insomnia and sand barriers. He thought that he was all that. Well, she didn't.
"Hinata, I'm sorry to tell you this, but because there's no where else that's safe, Gaara will have to live with you at the Hyuuga mansion." Hinata stared in horror at Temari. Temari and her had always been extremely good friends, and Temari understood that she couldn't change her mind about Gaara. "I don't trust him anywhere else than with my best friend. Please, Hina. For me?"
Well, when she put it that way…

When Gaara awoke he felt much better. He opened his eyes and surveyed the area. He was in an unfamiliar room. He sat up and looked around. He figured he was supposed to be here considering the lilies on his bedside table. Then he realized he was starving. He got up and looked at himself. He was still wearing his normal clothes, but something felt wrong. He felt very light, like he would float off at any moment. Then he realized why. His gourd was gone. He flew into a frenzy and started to look for it. He eventually found it in the closet. He felt relieved as the comforting weight settled onto his back.
He went over to open the door. Before he could touch the doorknob, the door swung open so that he could see Hinata. She looked at him and said, "I see your feeling better."
"Much better thanks," was Gaara's downcast reply. He knew that Hinata had never really liked him. She thought he was vain or something like that. He didn't really know her, so he couldn't make any judgments about her. Personally, he thought she was pretty, although a bit shy.
Gaara looked around and said, "How long was I out?"
Hinata glared at him and said "Well, when you woke up in the hospital it had been 3 days. And since then you've been asleep 4 more days."
"Wow that was a long time," Gaara muttered. "I mean an entire week?" He shook his head and smiled sheepishly. She pursed her lips together in obvious distaste. She shoved the bag she had in her hands at him and stalked out of the room. Gaara stared after her and wondered why she didn't like him.
He shrugged and peeked into the bag. Inside was a thermos and a juice box with no straw. He pulled out the thermos and opened it carefully. He looked inside and saw chicken noodle soup. One of his favorites. He smiled as he sat on the bed, sipping his soup. As he drank and gazed at his room, he decided to stay here for a while. He wanted to convince Hinata that he wasn't all that bad. He would convince Hinata that he wasn't bad, if it was the last thing he did.
AN-I hope you all enjoyed this! My little sister and I wrote this together. She absolutely adores the pairing GaaraxHinata. What can I say, I'm fond of it as well! R&R!
