It was a joint mission between Team 8 and the Sand Sibs. All had gone according to plan and the scroll was safely retrieved. They had set up camp for the night and were sleeping. Hinata though was having a nightmare.

Dream

"Your worthless!" Spat Hinata's father Hiashi slapping her hard across the face, making her fall to the ground.

"You don't deserve the Hyyuga name!"

Hinata sat up tears falling freely down her flawless face.

"Why father? WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!" Hinata shouted, standing up.

Her father glared at her pure loathing revealed in his pearly eyes.

"You're worthless Hinata!" Her fathers voice ran through her head.

"No!" She screamed clutching her head as she fell to the ground.

"Hinata wake up."

End Dream

Hinata shot up gasping for breath tears running down her face. She turned around to see.

"KazeKage-Sama!" Hinata gasped. "I hope I did not wake you."

"I was awake anyhow" The Kazekage replied.

Hinata nodded taking in his sleep rumpled hair and cloths.

"You're lying." She told him with a scowl.

Over time thanks to Naruto she had stopped stuttering. After Sasuke returned to the village and the started dating. The village elders had the shock of their life. The last surviving Uchiha and the Hokage. It brought a smile to her face just thinking about it. Gaara watched her facial expressions go from scared she woke him up to scowling, to grinning like a fool. Gaara couldn't help but allow a little smile to slip through. Hinata looked up and saw his smile. So different from the one he had 3 years ago when he was fighting Lee. This wasn't a "You're going to die" smile. This was a "I'm happy and I don't care who knows it?" smile.

'What are you smiling at?" She asked with a small laugh.

Gaara's smile widened.

"You." He told her simply.

Hinata felt her face go hot. Gaara let out a small chuckle. She smacked his arm lightly.

This just made Gaara laugh harder. Hinata joined in. Soon they were leaning on each other gasping fro breath trying not to wake up the others. Hinata stopped to try to catch her breath Gaara following soon after.

"I think we should go back to bed." Gaara said after they caught their breath.

"See you were lying!" Hinata told him.

"Yeah I was." Gaara replied

Hinata sighed.

Gaara went to get up to go back to his sleeping bag when a small hand caught his wrist. Gaara turned to see Hinata. Gaara raised an eyebrow at the little Hyyuga.

"Don't leave. Please? I don't want the nightmares to come back." Hinata asked clearly frightened.

Gaara nodded but asked.

"What do you do at home?"

"When I have a nightmare I normally crawl in with Neji-Nii-San."

Gaara nodded laying down next to Hinata. She seemed like she wanted to curl up closer but was unsure how Gaara would react. Gaara took care of that problem by throwing a hand over her waist and pulling her into his chest. Hinata stiffened but relaxed soon enough. She culed up to his chest burring her head into the crook of his neck.

'He smells good.' Hinata thought. 'Like a desert and oddly enough rain.'

Within minutes she was sound asleep. Gaara looked down at his personal angel, with a smile.

He gently kissed her hair before following her lead and drifting off to sleep.

That was how everyone found them in the morning.

Well? What do you think?
