Chapter One: Its so cold.
Sharp green eyes, watching the thick drops of liquid hit the hard ground. Splatters making a loud electrifying sound with every splat on the ground.A short strand of fire red hair, intruded on the sequence of dancing shades of plain teal eyes. Standing, Subaku no Gaara stood and gazed upon the river the bridge had been covered in water,splashing around like fish out of the bowl. Gaara sighed his impatient sigh and he growled as he stood to face the person who had been patiently awaiting his answer."What is the purpose of this?" his deep monotone voice said in a questioning,yet demanding tone. Making the female body want to shiver.
Smirking at his frustration Tsunade grinned;"Gaara-sama...I have asked you the least of all things i could have asked you..yet you give me no answer. Tell me.Why shall you not escort my dear friend to your village,She has been waiting her whole life to visit, and now that the Suna Masquerade is being held you wont take her,How un-like you Gaara-Sama" Tsunade knew she was pissing him off by the visible tension on his lobe as he grit his evil teeth to stare at the water once more. Again,Silence carressed the air around them. Gaara was only 17, yet he was still chosen to take dangerous missions and escort others to his village.His village has become so famous.why? It never was this popular before.
Suddenly the silence was broken by a timid tap on the ground and a tall girl just about half a foot shorter than Gaara walked up. Her Medium length blackish blue hair,her pure light lavender eyes blinked lightly as her timid lips smiled slightly."Tsunade-Sama..I..I mean Hokage-San...Kakashi-Sensei wishes to speak to you.." As she stopped speaking she noticed Gaara. He was giving her a cold stare as he normally did when his thoughts were broken.Her spine grew cold as she blinked and looked to the ground. This Hinata had grown very sure of herself yet she was still fearful of Gaara.
'How nice...that impotent girl...she should die' the voice of Shukaku spoke.
Gaara ignored the voice as he watched the girl. Tsunade screeched and she smiled at her friend and hugged her"Hinata-Sama you should be careful who you sneak up on"Hinata smiled slightly"Forgive me, Tsunade-Sama I did not notice that you were speaking to someone..." she bowed respectfully towards the Hokage and Gaara who was still staring at her until Tsunade coughed and gave him a 'would you stop it or ill hit you' glare. Gaara rolled his beautiful green eyes and turned to face the water.Hinata found him quite rude,yet she found it funny.Tsunade had a temper and didnt like being ignored."Gaara! Tell me your answer, I need to know before the nightfall!!" she growled Gaara sighed and held his head"Well Hokage-sama, I will take the burden along with me to the Sunagakure but i swear...once she is there. I am no longer going to do any escorting...it is getting bothersome you know." he said with his eyes narrowed. He barely ever said that much in one sentence!
Hinata's timid giggle was overheard over their tensions.Turning to the girl with arched eyebrows she covered her mouth in a gasp and she looked to her side."I am sorry...Tsunade-sama...or much rather Gaara-san...When would you like me to meet you before we leave?" she said suddenly lifting her gaze to Gaara's unexpecting teal one.Gaara didnt think that 'she' would be the one to escort. Ignoring the slight tint of guilt of calling her a burden he thought of a time."Meet me just before the sun rises.We will need to get off early if you want to get there before the Masquerade, you will have enough time to find a date tonight i pressume?" he asked her impatiently. Hinata stopped moving,keeping that same smile on her face only it weakened just a bit, Hinata looked up to him and said"I am going alone Gaara-san...So i will be ready soon...Goodnight.." she said bowing her head to Tsunade and Gaara as she turned on her heels and ran home to pack.
Tsunade shook her head at the girl. Then turned her angry gaze toward Gaara's dissmissed face."What is your problem?" she asked him with a tired tone. Gaara looked at her and said"Nothing. Thanks to you,I have to go pack." he said turning as he turned the same way Hinata went the rain still pouring dogs. Gaara watched Tsunade dismiss him as she took off toward the monument to get her greetings done to the Third,today was his birthday although.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hinata made her way into her bedroom of the Hyuuga home.Knowing her father never wanted her here she sighed as she stepped into the plain white room. Walking immediately over to her dresser as she pulled out 3 Kimonos of the Hyuuga style,First was light lavender that brought out her eyes; Second was a light pink Kimono that had a imprint of Sakura blossoms on it.(Sakura herself handpicked that one for her 16th birthday) and the Third was a pale green with a gold trimming forming a serpent slithering all the way up around her neck and down to her arms, this one was a dress."Im going to have to thank Lee-San for this again..." Hinata said her breath again being taken away as she packed it away. Walking to her cubbord she pulled out matching slippers for each of her kimonos. and of course the different masques. Putting them into the suitcase she also put in some normal clothes,Her blue ninja shoes, along with her red ones. Her Training Pants which she normally wore when she would train, she figured she would take her free time to do so. Her training jacket which was just like Kibas beside it wasnt as big. She also had her Fishnet top with her black tank top underneath it. Putting her hair up into a pony-tail behind her head she smiled at herself as she lifted the bag realizing that Gaara would be waiting.
Gaara of course had gotten there early. Waiting for her at the Gate of Konoha he gazed upon the morning sun. It seemed so annoying to him.Always waking others up like it had no manners. Soon he found himself talking about the sun like it was a human being.Hinata ran quickly to Gaara's waiting, "Gaara-san! I am sorry...Was i late?" she asked him in fear as she went to her natural habbit of pulling her arms up to her chest as she waited for his response."No." was his only reply. Feeling relieved yet fearful of his attitude on their way to the Sunagakure. "Hinata!Hey! Hinata!" came an annoying raspy voice that got closer and closer. Hinata stopped in her tracks and turned around. A bright blonde headed boy ran up to her and stopped as he panted like a dog to catch his breath."Hinata!! Where are you going? Dont you know you have training today!?" he asked his fists clenched in exitement."N..Naruto!" she shouted at the boy in frustration.Naruto stopped moving and looked at her"Hm?" he tilted his curious blue eyes"Ever since you were 13 you've been that way" she grinned and hugged the boy"Im going to visit Suna today! I will be taking part in a Masquerade ...but i must be going Naruto.
Promise me you will tellKiba and Shino i said goodbye and Tell Lee-San thank you for the dress again. I love you guys...I have to go now" she said as she could feel Gaara's glare on the back of her head for keeping him.
Naruto,obviously felt it too for he smiled and said obnoxiously"Alright Hinata-Sama...Have fun Bye!" he said as he took off running toward the Monument where Kakashi-Sensei and Kurenei-sensei would train that very day.Hinata smiled one last time and then she turned and looked up at Gaara who was glaring down at her and she bit her lip and she growled deeply as her eyes stared ahead of her. Gaara smirked inside at her frustration as he headed toward the outskirts of the gate and then a large white horse sped up to Gaara as he jumped atop the horse."Give me your hand girl." he said putting it out for Hinata to grab. Hinata didnt like being called 'girl' it made her think that he had no respect for her. Which was exactly what Gaara had. No respect for anyone. Hinata sighed and put her hand in Gaara's which surprisingly wasnt Callaced or rough, it was soft and warm. She regretted letting go of it for a moment but couldnt figure out why. He pulled her up and sat her in front of him."Hold on...shes fast" he warned.Hinata nodded, normally she would have an ignorant blush on her face but not at this age. She was 17 now. she wasnt going to blush at every single word someone said.Quickly, the horse took off and Hinata lost her breath so she gasped and leaned back,her own back touching Gaara's. Hinata found this embarassing but she leaned forward and whispered a sorry. Gaara couldnt keep his smirk inside and he let one tint his forever frowning lips.
