Friends stop the hurt rewrite
1, 2, 3, 4…
"BEEP!" That was the piercing sound the alarm clock made. The owner of the hatred and somewhat unneeded device is named Gaara. He pushed the button on the top silencing it for the day. Gaara doesn't need alarm clocks to wake him up; he is always awake at that time. He is awoke all hours of the day every day of every year; doomed to this since birth because of severe insomnia. This lack of sleep has its advantages: For one thing he always dressed on time, and he doesn't have to worry about NOT getting sleep. Stuff like that.
Gaara picked up his backpack, give himself a look in the bathroom mirror a deemed ready to go to school; ready but not willing. With a sigh he slings the backpack on his shoulder and leaves for school. His brother and sister were already at school, they drove in Temari's car without him. He had desisted the first year of high school that's what he wanted. And this year his second year he said he would walk himself again this year. He preferred it this way, time to himself.
Gaara with his head down and his left hand jammed in his pocket was heading to school; witch was just a few blocks away. He left his house where he knew he would be on time for class. Unlike his brother and sister would made new friends after the move, during their middle school year. They didn't have a large group of friends and Gaara had always known that plenty of people were willing to be their friends until they found out they were related to him. However, despite his guilt, his siblings tried to tell him that he shouldn't feel bad it wasn't his fault. And what Gaara feels is his fault to many shady charters wanting to befriend his sisblings is his fault too.
"Come on bro, don't feel bad we've got more friends here then at the other school." The older and only brother Kankuro said trying to cheer him up he placed his hand on Gaara's shoulder.
"That's right. And besides you have friends. Naruto and lee remember? I'm sure that this year you'll make more. But no matter what we'll always be family." Temari said warmly sincerity in her eyes. He looked to Kankuro he knotted his head agreeing with her smiling.
Gaara was very touched by this and even more when Temari surprised them all with a group hug. That was very quick but appreciated and cherished. It was another 'Family Moment' as Temari calls them. Gaara couldn't help but smile at the memory of that morning before they left for school. Gaara feels they should have more of those. They always made him feel better and he always seemed to be in need of feeling better.
Gaara sighed he was at the front gate already. He was heading straight for his first class English. He sat in his usual seat in the back of the class.
Soon the class started filling in then the bell rang and everybody was in the class but the teacher. But that wasn't unusual, even if you never had Kakashi's class you still know that he's never been on time and has some wired excuse. The door opened Kakashi stepped in perverted book in hand. "Sorry I was late class but I had to talk to the new girl." Kakashi told them. The class laughed no one believing any excuse he gave them. "No but really I was. Come in Miss Hyuuga." He said his feet on the table book open. The door opened again and timidly Hinata Hyuuga walked in.
She was very pretty with her porcine face, lavender eyes and dark hair. She stood by the teacher's desk hoping he would assign her a seat so she could sit down.
"Please introduce yourself Miss Hyuuga." Kakashi said from behind his book as he turned the next page.
"Um…H Hi I'm Hinata Hyuuga and I…I ...I hope that we get along." The poor stuttering girl said to the class. A blush comes across her face.
"You may be seated next to Gaara. Gaara raise your hand." Kakashi order and to everyone's amazement Gaara obeyed.
Hinata looked at him taking in his odd but handsome features. Everything about him seemed beautiful to her in a strange fasanating way. Everything form is soul piercing green eyes that were surrounded by black rings. To his smooth, clear skin that was so pail and contrasting to his blood red hair.
She felt the blush deepen on her face as she realized she was starring. She quickly went to her seat. The class resumed as normal, Kashashi assigned them work then went back to reading his book.
Then the class started talking with only a few people actually working, or working-ish. A lot of talk involved Hinata one way or another wreath it was to her or about her. "So Hinata where are you from?" A girl named TenTen said. She has brown hair that was put in buns on the side on her head and soft brown eyes.
"I'm from this town but I was in privet school." She said.
"So why did you come here of all places?' Another girl asked this one was blonde called Ino.
"My m My father decided it wo wooo would be g goo good for me." Hinata said shyly the blush was holding fast
"Why was there something wrong with your other school?" This girl had pink hair her name was Sakura.
"No not really." Hinata said she noticed the stutter was gone.
"Privet school huh? Well then your parents must be pretty loaded then right?" Ino asked.
"Ino! That's a personal question you don't know her that well to ask her that!" Sakura scolded.
"What did you know forehead girl?" Ino demeaned to know.
"It's just basic manners pig girl!" Sakura shouted; neither of them caring if the whole class was staring. Not that they were everybody was every use to they squabbles.
"No. It's okay. Yes my father is very wealthy." Hinata said quietly.
"Well that's cool I guess. So do you have any brothers or sisters?" TenTen asked.
"I have one younger sister Hanabi." Hinata said.
"Does she come here?" Sakura asked.
"No, but Neji, my older cousin dose he's a junior." Hinata said.
"Oh what's he like?" TenTen asked.
"He's been said to be a genius I don't know about that but he is smart. He's tall and lean but very athletic. Rude at first to most people, but over protective to me and my sister. He really is nice or can be. He really like my brother then a cousin" Hinata told them.
They talked for the rest of the class all of them forgetting about their work and all unaware to the stares of Gaara.
'I'll talk to her.' Gaara had told himself he looked to the clock on the wall and noticed that the class had just begain and had have pletey of time.
Chapter Two: of friends stop the pain rewrite two
Gaara was not doing his work that was unusual despite what anybody may think. Gaara really is a good student; Temari won't let him fail any class. However, he was finding it ever so difficult to concentrate when Hinata sits next to him. When he can't considerate on anything, but the sound of her voice, her sweet soothing voice in his ears. Her stutter was gone now replaced by heavenly laughter. She had been here for one period and she had already made friends. 'But that's to be expected right? I mean who wouldn't want to be friends with her?' Gaara thought longing to be her friend.
"Say Hinata what's your next class?" TenTen asked.
"I have P.E with Coach Guy." Hinata said.
"That's so cool I have him next. I'll walk you over to the Gym." TenTen said.
"Thant would be great thank you." Hinata said.
'I have Gym next too. I would get to see here again. That is great!' Gaara thought, the bell rang and Gaara jumped very out of his charter.
"Oh well that's the bell it was good talking to you Hinata." Ino said ready to leave.
"It was nice meeting you." Hinata said.
"See you later." Sakura said.
"Buy" Hinata said waving good bye to the departing girls.
She and TenTen got their stuff and walked out. Gaara and all the others that had Gym class headed down the left side of the hall. They separated into male or female locker rooms then whet to their own lockers.
TenTen help Hinata find her locker. "Okay 369 is right over here. You got your combination right?" TenTen asked.
"Yes." Hinata said.
"Well okay then your all seat. If you need anything I'm just of the other side." TenTen said. "
Thank you so much." Hinata said.
"Sure, no problem." TenTen said and walked away.
Hinata was so thrilled that she had made a friend already. She got dressed in the school P.E uniform, dark blue shirt with black shorts. She locked the locker and she turned around to see TenTen.
"Come on I'll show you were coach Guy has us meet." TenTen said leading the way out of the locker room.
They got to a part of the Gym and sat down. "So have you had him before?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah and he's really cool and weird you'll like him." TenTen said.
They spent time talking both people would come up to TenTen asking who Hinata is.
"She's my new friend." TenTen told them all not hesitating at all. They all said hello in their own way.
"Hi I'm Naruto and we'll be good friends believe it!" Naruto told them and brightly smiled.
"I'm sure you will Naruto." TenTen said suppressing the chuckles that treated to come up.
"Hi I'm Shikamaru nice too meet you." Shikamaru said in his usual board monotones.
"I am Shino." Shino tells her.
"Hi I'm Choji. Would you like a chip?" Choji introduces and gave the bag of chips he had in his hand to her.
"Oh thank you Choji. That's very nice of you." Hinata said taking two chips from the bag. She ate the chips and tuned to the next person.
"Oh and this is "Naruto started but Hinata interrupted him, she didn't need to be introduced to him.
"I already know him Naruto, he is Susuke someone I knew from my privet school.
"Hey Suskue! How come you never told us about her?" Naruto demanded.
"What and give you something else to bug me about?" Susuke asked.
Hinata couldn't help but smile he hadn't changed a bit.
"Hello I am Rock Lee it is nice to know you as well!" Lee said.
"It's nice to meet you to Lee." Hinata said.
Then to everyone's pure astonishment Gaara started to approach them.
"Oh Hey Gaara! Did you come to say hello to Hinata too or did you come to see me?" Naruto asked happy to see his friend, who usually didn't spend time together in P.E.
"Both." Came Gaara's one answer response.
"Great glad to hear it!" Naruto said to him then turned to Hinata.
"So do you know him already?" He asked.
Hinata knotted his head happy to see Gaara again so soon.
"Great we can all be friends then!" Naruto declared happy that things wear going smoothly for Gaara. He and Gaara and Hinata was obvious to the strange stares and glares being given to the by most the Gym's population.
Naruto didn't notice because of his severe ADD and Gaara and Hinata because they were to busy staring at each other. The staring didn't go unnoticed by many people mostly Naruto and thus that weren't looking. It made some worry: For Hinata. Others jealous: Of Gaara.
"So Gaara…um h...h how are you?" Hinata said stuttering retuning.
Gaara tock notice he felt hurt that she would be scared around him, but he figured that if she spent enough time that would go away; it did with the others. He just hoped he didn't scar her away before then. "I'm fine, thank you." Gaara said grateful that none of his own nervousness was head in his voice. The conversion probably would have gone farther but due to Coach Guy it didn't have a chance.
"Hello, my ever youthful students! It is good to see you all! Now lets all warm up by doing laps around the gym, so that the rest of the gym classes can see you all!" This was said by the one and only coach Guy.
"That is great coach Guy!" Lee declared as he smiled, showing off his very shiny teeth.
"That it is Lee!" Guy said, he was going to order in his own to go outside but then He then noticed Hinata. "Well Hello there! My name coach Guy! So little lady what is your name?" Guy asked her.
"M...MY name is Hinata Hyuuga sir." Hinata said shyly.
"Well then Hinata welcome to Leaf High! Since your new here everyone will introduce them selves." Guy said to her then turned to the rest of the class.
"Okay everyone for Miss Hyuuga's befit when I point to you your to say your name." Guy said.
When the introductions were done there wasn't enough time for a whole lot so guy desisted that they would watch a video, the only one disappointed was Lee and that didn't last very long. Lee was then remained by Naruto that they could now spend time with Hinata. "That is true Naruto and I am happy again!" Lee told them.
"That's great Lee but I have to talk to Hinata alone for a moment." TenTen said taking Hinata's hand and leading her away.
"Don't be gone with her for two long!" Naruto called after them before he and Lee turned their attention to Gaara.
They were then trying so hard to engage Gaara in a conversation. To Gaara's announce not liking the attention. Then again he did like that at lest two people other his siblings was not afraid of him.
"Um what's wrong TenTen?" Hinata asked when she was dragged to a far corner of the gym as not to be over heard by anyone.
"You like him don't you?" TenTen out right accused.
"W…What?" Hinata asked astonished by the bluntness TenTen used.
"You know Gaara, the one you can't keep your eyes off of. You like him." TenTen said not asked.
"Um…well I… Yes." Hinata said not looking at her.
TenTen blow out o long sigh. "I knew it. " Was all she could say; she leaned against the wall and slid down.
"Um…um what's wrong with that?" Hinata asked completely lost as to what was happing.
"Well because you new you don't know that he's dangerous. He's bad he's completely unstable." TenTen said.
"Well then why is he Naruto's friend? Dosen't he know? And Lee seems to like him too." Hinata said trying to make since of them situation.
"Well Naruto is his friends and Lee I can't explain. If anything he's the one that should be scared or angry. Gaara nearly killed Lee." TenTen said.
"Wha…What!" Hinata said in disbelieve.
"Yeah well that what I heard. I know that he defiantly was hospitalizes and that Gaara is dangerous. I don't show it but he creeps me out! And it's not just me. It's like the whole school even most of the staff! It's like you Lee and Naruto are the only one's who isn't afraid of him. Well you three and his siblings. They don't seem to be afraid of him either." TenTen said and shock her head gently. Her hair bounced softly.
Hinata was in shock. She looked over at the group; to get a good look at him. He was still sitting there between Naruto and Lee. Lee and Naruto were laughing and he was smiling. 'He's so handsome when he smiles.' Hinata couldn't help but think. She felt her face get hot and looked away. 'I wonder if TenTen is right. She could had been mislead by the gossip. I don't know what to do. What if he really is dangerous?' She thought. She then turned her eyes back to him; he was still smiling, he still looked nice. "I'll give him a chance, How can it be true? Lee and Naruto seem fine! And talk to him soon he deserves a chance he deserves it" She said out loud making out her mind and TenTen groaned at the news.
"Just don't be alone with him to long." Was all that TenTen could advise, after a defeated sigh.
Hinata and TenTen came back to the group.
"Hi guys!' Naruto greeted them with a large smile.
"Naruto were not guys." TenTen corrected.
"Yeah but you know what I mean." Naruto said.
"So how do you like school so far Hinata?" Shino asked.
"What kind question is that?" Naruto asked.
"Seriously everyone knows that school is a drag." Shikamaru said.
"I wasn't asking either of you." Shino stated.
"I like it just fine." Hinata told them.
"I like it as well." Lee offered them with out being asked.
"What about you Gaara?" Hinata asked.
"I don't really like it." Gaara said.
"But I'm sure all that will change not that you here Hinata! Right Gaara?" Naruto said jabbing his friend with his elbow.
And despite the annoying jabs Gaara couldn't but smile a bit. This caused Hinata to smile and Sasuke to glare.
The bell then rang and everyone changed and went to their next class. "So Hinata what's your next class?" TenTen asked.
"I have art one with Mrs. Kurenai." Hinata said reading from her list.
"Wow no way this is awesome! We have so many classes together!" TenTen said. They found their next class and went in. They explained to Kurenai that Hinata is new to the school.
"Welcome Miss. Hyuuga it is good to have you here." She said and smiled to the young girl.
"Thank you very much Mrs. Kurenai." Hinata said quietly.
Kurenai really liked Hinata already, she normally didn't make quick judgments but she could tell there's just something really good and likable but Hinata.
Soon the bell rang but at that time the class had filled, with students, and thing begin. Mrs. Kurenai started things off by tell the class a little bit about her. Then she laid down the rules, and started them off with a fun easy project. Water colors.
The five minute bell rang and Kurenai instructed that they put their materials away. When that was done the girls started chatting. To soon the bell did ring and TenTen and Hinata had to part go their own ways. TenTen gave Hinata direction to her next class and then started walking to her own. Hinata was a little sad to see TenTen go but she smiled when she saw Gaara coming towards her.
"Hi Gaara." She greeted him; and he was glad for it and for her not to stutter with him around.
He could help but smile at her. "Here I'll walk you to your class." Gaara offered.
"Thank you that's very nice of you." Hinata said and together they walked to class.
Gaara and Hinata arrived at there next class: history taught by Asuma just in time. "Well glad you could make it take a seat." He said.
Hinata and Gaara found two seats open in the back and sat down. Asuma started the class off buy going over the rules and exceptions. Then they got their books from under their chairs and opened them as instructed.
Class went like how you would aspect them too in high school. Some were working and paying attention but mostly it was talking.
"OMG were you at that party before school started?" Asked one girl.
"Yes wished you could have been there! It was so awesome!" Her friend said.
"Hey that girl that just walked in with him she's new right?" Another girl asked.
"I think so. I've never seen her around." Her boyfriend answered her.
"So she doesn't know? Doesn't know how dangerous he is?" The girlfriend asked.
"Well if you're so worried why don't you warn you?" The boyfriend suggested.
"I will just not now." The girlfriend said.
To the delight of the girlfriend Asuma had taken a phone call then dismissed himself from the class for five minutes. When he left the class rearranged their self eves. The girl sat next to Hinata trying to strike up a conversation. It was going well in tell she mentioned Gaara and how she would do good to avoid him.
"Why dose every one insist that Gaara is bad and no good?" Hinata asked she was annoyed and that was clear.
The girl was surprised buy the tone but she felt like she should still tell Hinata what she felt is the right. "That's because he is. That's the truth." The girl told her with all certainty.
"I don't think so." Hinata insisted.
"Well that's because you haven't been here that long. Only one day that's not very long at all." The girl said throw clenched teeth.
"It's enough. I somehow don't think you spent that much time with Gaara. If you did you would know that he wouldn't hurt anyone. No matter what he might have done before, Lee seems fine to me." Hinata said.
"So you know but you still defend him? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me." The girl said.
"That doesn't make a lot of sense to me either." Gaara said but quickly closed his mouth when he realized that he said that instead of just thinking it. 'Damn Freudian slip!' Gaara cursed in his head.
The room went quite; it had been a while since anyone has heard Gaara speak. "See he even admits it. " The girl said at last.
"Gaara why did you hurt Lee?" Hinata asked. Unknown to Hinata that had been the question everyone was asking. If anyone tried to give an explanation they usually said it was because Gaara is psychotic and/or jealous of Lee. Or that Lee had proved his wrath somehow. Most wonder why Gaara was doing at a normal school. What ever the reason nobody ever herd it from Lee or Gaara. So the room became very quite to hear what he had to say.
Gaara looked about the room noticing the eagerness they all had to hear what he was going to say. 'Look at them all so wanting me to say that I hurt him because he was there and I felt like it. They all what me to be some sort of a horrible monster.' Gaara though, with bitterness. "I'll tell you later." Gaara told her.
The room was still quite all was disappointed some were angry but what were they going to do? Make him tell them what they wanted to here? Not likely.
Asuma came back into the room very pleased coming back to a quite room. "Now why can you guys be like this all the time?" He asked jokingly. Nobody answered him just went back to work. "Did I miss something here?" Asuma asked truly puzzled.
When it became apparent to Asuma that he wasn't going to get any answers he instructed the class to put there stuff away. When the bell rang they were dismissed. It was there lunch time but they didn't order any food just yet. They sat down on a planter and Gaara told his story.
"You see what had happened last year was that Lee and I wear waiting for Naruto to get out of detention. He was in trouble for disrupting the class .ADD and low impulse control on everything. Lee had been climbing a tree and he feel and fractured his arm. I didn't even touch him. I even ran to go get help when he fell." Gaara saidhis facetense his hands clenched.
"Aw, poor Lee. But then why does, everyone blame you?" Hinata asked.
"Probably, because I, get blamed for everything, that goes wrong around here." Gaara said.
"I'm sorry Gaara." Hinata said.
"Don't be, it's not your fault. Now come on lets get some lunch." Gaara said.
They got in line and ordered food, was looking for a place to eat.
"Hey Gaara we want you to eat with us today. Come on Temari's waiting. Wait who's she?" Kankaro asked just now noticing Hinata.
"This is Hinata. Hinata this is Kankaro my brother." Gaara introduced.
"Hi there it's good to meet you. Say Gaara lets see if see can come with us I'm sure Temari won't mind." Kankaro offered.
"Do you want to Hinata? " Gaara asked, and smiled hopefully.
"Sure Id like that." Hinata said.
Kankuro lead them to wear Temari, Hana and Shikamaru was sitting.
"Hi Shikamaru." Hinata greeted.
"Hey how you doing?" Shikamaru asked.
"Fine." Hinata said.
"That's nice. Man, look at that cloud right there. "Shikamaru gave a big yawn and stretched.
Temari laughed at here genius but lazy boyfriend.
"Hi Gaara. Who's your friend?" Hana asked.
"This is Hinata." Gaara said.
"Hi I'm Hana Temari's friend." Hana said.
"Hi are you Kiba's sister?" Hinata asked.
"Yes I' am." Hana said.
"Do you mind if Hinata eats with us Temari?" Gaara asked.
"No not at all. Here, Hinata sit next to me." Temari offered moving her bag out of the way.
"Thank you very much." Hinata said and plopped down.
They all had a good time at lunch and like at anytime you're having fun it ended too soon. Then bell rang and they cleaned up and said their good buys. Shikamaru Gaara and Hinata had the same class together. It was math class with Orochimaru.
The school hated him very much. Everybody hated him, His rules, his attitude and his obvious favoritism to sport players. Especially towards the Uchiha brothers they always got the best treatment and even they hated him. Class started with all his rules, the consciences, his expectations. This tock up most of the period, but that did not stop him from assigning lots of home work for the class. "Read pages 5-20 do questions 1-18 and 2-20. You are dismissed when the bell rings." Orochimaru said/braked/hissed.
Gaara and Hinata were sitting at a table near the back. Behind them was an ever scowling Sasuke.
"Gee his strict isn't he?" Hinata commented to Gaara.
"Yeah but Orochimaru is one of the better teachers they have at this school." Gaara said.
"Do you have something to say to the class Mr. No Sabaku?" Orochimaru asked.
"No, not to the class just Hinata." Gaara said with a coy grin.
The class was silent at Gaara's defiance "That is a week's detention No Sabaku! Be sure not to ditch or you'll be suspended." Orochimaru shoted getting red in the face
. "You can't do that after he was defending you!" Hinata shouted surprising them all into silence for a minute.
Then when the shock wore off Orochimaru was mad. "I can do what ever I want Miss. Hyuuga! Like send you to detention to keep Mr. No Subaku Company!" He shouted ferrous at the insubordination.
The bell rang and the class was dismissed to go home. Hinata had called Neji to tell him to explain to him that she won't need a ride home because of the detention and asked if he would tell her father. "Don't worry Neji I can walk home. Yes, and you'll tell him? Thank you Neji buy." Hinata said and hung up her cell phone.
"Well come on we don't want to be late." Gaara said smiling at the irony.
They went to detention, severed it and left school. "So Hinata I can walk you home with you want. I mean so I know you got there safe." Gaara offered.
"Oh, thank you so much Gaara. I really appreciate it." Hinata said.
"It looks like you live the same way anyways." Gaara said.
"That's good I won't want you to go to far out of your way." Hinata said.
"I won't care if you lived the other way." Gaara told her.
"It's still nice." Hinata said.
They walked on not talking but not in the uncomfortable way. Gaara made sure Hinata got home like he said he would then went another block to his house. His siblings were all ready there.
"Gaara! There you are! I was worried when you didn't come home on time." Temari said giving him a hug.
"Yeah but I told her not to that I just got detention." Gaara said.
"But never mind detention I want to know about that nice girl. I think its great you made a new friend! Didn't we tell you? " Temari said. So happy for her youngest brother.
"What's there to tell? She a girl I meet and made friend with. No big deal." Gaara said.
"If you say so Gaara. Diner will be soon you two should do you homework. And Kankaro didn't you even try to tell me you don't have any just do it!" Temari said.
"Yes mom." Kankaro said joking. He went up to his room to do his homework.
Gaara plopped in front the kitchen table to do his work. And Temari would do hers latter as always.
Diner was served at the Sabakus sat down at the table as a family.
"So Gaara did you have Hinata in some of your classes?" Temari asked as she was loading her plate with food.
"Yes we have many together." Gaara said only poking at his food.
"I'm glad you'll have somebody to talk to. Some one smarter then Naruto and Lee. No ofence Gaara but their so stupid some times. See I told you that you could make friends." Temari said cheerfully she cuts her stake.
Kankuro snorted at Temari's lighted said lightly offensive chatter.
The rest of the dinner was spent in silence and as was the rest of the day in tell bed time.
"Hey! Good night guys!" Kankaro called from his bedroom.
"Goodnight Kankaro!" Both his siblings called back to him.
"Goodnight Temari!" Both brothers said.
And the two eldest's children said "Good night Gaara!" To their little brother.
And that was it for the little family, tell morning.
