Unfaithful

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto... duh XD

Authors note: Hello to all my fans out there. I've been coming up with this concept for a while now and i really like the concept for it so please enjoy this as much as i enjoyed writing it. It's HinaGaaraNeji lolz. A triangle that never seems to end. Poor Hinata XP. Well other then that, enjoy . Oh and it's as if Hinata is telling the story of her life cause she's already dead kind of thing. Yah i know, weird, but i really liked this idea so tallyho! Oh and R&R even if it is just random shit for no parent reason.

Chapter 1: Tears of ice

My eyes flicked open lightly as I peered into what seemed to be a never-ending sky. A sky that seemed to go on forever like any normal sky and yet this one was different. It seemed like I could almost reach my hand up and swish away the blue to reveal the black universe behind it. I looked down and noticed the white blanket that covered me, the pain that was once coursing through my body completely ceased like it didn't even happen. My eyes scanned around me and I noticed that I was in a roofless room, walls white as snow and one door the colour of oak. Slowly I crouched up, my indigo tresses falling down my shoulders. My hair was no longer tied back. I reached my hand behind my back to pull stray hairs to the front when I felt something there that wasn't there before.

"Those are your wings," said a soft male voice from the door that once stood ajar. "You are very pure of soul."

"What are you talking about?" I asked lightly looking over to see a young male, eyes gentle calm grey, hair long, longer then my own, and white as the walls. His body with lithe and thin, the only thing covering his nakedness was a piece of cloth tethered around his hips looking like it would nearly fall off if he even moved. His skin was pale, paler then my own, but the thing I noticed most about him was white wings, whiter then anything I had ever seen flowing beautiful from his back. He was so pure, so true.

"Come to me child of light," he said opening his arms wide as if I would run to him. I just raised an eyebrow still confused. "You are of the afterlife child. Your are of pureness now, your happiness winding. Come to me and let the sadness of your past free."

"I'm still confused," I said lightly now realising that I had died.

"What are you confused about young child?" he asked politely obviously taking in everything I said. "Do you wish to speak of your human life to me? Is there any regrets? Any wishes?"

I could feel the tears build up behind my eyes when he had said this. I really was truly dead and now everything I had is gone. A tear started to drip down my cheek but as soon as it passed my cheekbone it froze. I looked in surprise as I pulled the ice bit off my cheek and looked at it. It was a teardrop alright but how did it freeze?

"For one thing my name is Hinata," I said breaking the silence. "And it's none of your business about my human life."

"Oh but it is my business," he said with a smile walking into my room. "It is exactly my business for you will never be able to let go and pass fully into what you were meant to become if you don't let go of your past…"

"But what if I don't want to forget!" I said angrily. "I don't want to forget ever!"

"You did not wish to die when you did," he said lightly taking one of my hands in his and I felt a cool sensation run through the tips of his fingers and into my own hand. "So young, your whole life ahead of you. You would have made a great shinobi and…"

"Wait, you know what would have become of me if I survived?" I asked jumping onto my feet letting go of his cool hand. "Tell me please!"

"How about first you tell me of your human life and then I shall tell you about what your future would have been," he said with another smile.

I looked at him a little eagerly but he was right. "Fine, I will tell you, but first can I know your name?"

"It's Kira," he said softly in his velvety voice so full of soothing.

"Shining bright…or killer," I said with a smile. "That's ironic."

"Tell me what saddens you so," Kira said stroking a lock of indigo hair from my neck.

I felt a sense of soothing rush through me once again and calmed. "It all started with a fiery-haired boy…"

(Start)

"Hinata are you coming to Ichiraku's with us?" Sakura asked the lavender-eyed Hyuuga after their shifts at the hospital were through. Hinata smiled and nodded not to sure if it was the best idea. She hadn't trained in two days and Hiashi would get mad if she slowed or faltered. "Great, I'll see you in a half an hour."

And then the pink-haired girl bolted away jumping onto the roof of the nearest building. Hinata never knew why her friends seemed to want to get around so quickly. It was pleasant just walking without a care in the world. Maybe it was just her… slowly she drudged her way home pondering when a familiar brunette boy with red fang-like marks on his cheeks jumped up in front of her with a big grin.

"Guess what day it is," he said with a wink. Hinata looked at him a little confused and then the day hit her. Shit…

"Our 10 month anniversary…" Hinata said a little softly. "I'm so sorry Kiba! I totally forgot!"

"Its alright," Kiba chuckled but his eyes suddenly turned excited. "Although it is our 10th month together so maybe tonight we could…"

Hinata's eyes widened in disbelief and her cheeks going bright crimson red. She knew all along though that she couldn't just leave him waiting forever for her when they were both 18 and it was normal for such a thing to occur.

"If you are not ready Hinata-hime then I don't want to force you!" Kiba said quickly noticing the stress in her eyes. "It was just a thought. Maybe instead you could come over to my place and we can have a nice date, nothing that will make you uncomfortable."

Hinata couldn't believe how sweet Kiba had gotten over the past few months attending to her like she was a princess and she couldn't help but love him. He was absolutely wonderful! Why though was she so scared of going anywhere further with him? They were the perfect couple…

"That sounds great although I have to cancel my plans with Sakura-chan first," Hinata said with a smile. "Would you like to come with me Kiba-kun?"

"Sure," Kiba said delighted as always.

They then walked towards Sakura's where she would most likely be changing into more comfortable clothing instead of anything she had been wearing to work. Kiba hesitantly grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.

"Tomorrows the flower festival," Kiba said with another grin. "Will you be my beautiful flower?"

"I would love to," Hinata said smiling.

(Later)

"It's so nice to be back!" Naruto said spinning around in a circle.

"A year is a little sacrifice for the lives of my people," Gaara said, his eyes jetting around the town uncomfortably. This was definitely not Suna…

"Come on, enjoy yourself!" Naruto said with a big geeky grin. "The flower festival is tomorrow and everything! We made it back in perfect timing!"

"Flowers here aren't as beautiful as the ones in Suna," Gaara said stubbornly. He just wanted to get back to Suna with the new set of ninja as soon as possible. Anywhere this cold was not a place he would like to be.

"Yah but how many flowers do you see growing normally in Suna other then that little room of yours?" Naruto asked with a chuckle. "Hardly any. Here flowers can grow by the bushel and no one has to even plant them! I guarantee you will enjoy this festival Gaara. It's the kind of thing I know you will appreciate."

"And whys this?" Gaara asked raising a nonexistent eyebrow.

"Because it is peaceful," Naruto shrugged. "And no one knows who anyone else is because we all wear masquerade masks. Oh and we have to base ourselves on a specific flower."

"This sounds unappealing," Gaara said looking back towards the gate one more time. "Remember, three days tops."

"K, I'll talk to grandma Tsunade and she'll assign the next set of ninja," Naruto said. "do you have any recommendations?"

"That Hyuuga male, Neji," Gaara said. "He is strong and his eyes could be useful. I'll need him for three months. The rest you find."

"K," Naruto said again. "Now I better go speak with her. You should browse for a mask and costume for tomorrow."

"What do you mean by costume?" Gaara asked obviously annoyed.

"Just like robes that match a specific flower like I said before," Naruto laughed. "Jeez Gaara, I'll see you back at the Hokage tower!" And then, quick as a bullet Naruto jumped high onto the nearest rooftop and began running so fast you could hardly see him at all.

"This is going to be a long day," Gaara said, his aquamarine orbs watching as Naruto's silhouette disappeared.

Then he started walking down the street calmly taking in the familiar surroundings of Konoha. It was a big village with a lot of people. Maybe that's why he hated the place so much. People. He hated people. His eyes jetted by a flower store that had big curvy writing along the window and a large sign up top pronouncing the big sale for it was the flower festival after all. Dryly, he walked into the store as the fresh fragrance hit his nose. It was a mixture of almost freesia, lavender, and he almost detected slight mint.

"Oh, welcome to…Gaara?" Gaara turned his eyes to the blonde-haired kunoichi he had met a few years back in the chunin exams. He felt her fear arise and smiled. She still thought he was a monster. This could be amusing.

"So?" Gaara challenged. This seemed to push her back a bit. She had grown up a lot, that was for sure. Now, her short blonde hair was once again long, longer then it had once been, and she was a lot taller pushing 170. She was a lot more curvy too he had noticed. She must have put on some weight but that was a good thing. She was to skinny before. At least now she looked healthy.

"You…um…why are you…well…here?" she asked a little startled by his sudden intrusion in her store.

"To find a flower, what do you think?" Gaara said amused. He liked playing with peoples minds, it was just so easy and she was already scared of him anyways.

Ino looked at him a little shocked. Was this really the Gaara she had met so many years back? She had heard that he had become Kazekage and all but she never knew that the dangerous little boy from so long ago could be like this. He was tall, taller then she ever thought possible, towering over her height so much so that she was only up to his shoulder and his body was a lot less childish and more toned but still lithe and thin. His hair even seemed redder like blood and for the first time she had noticed that his eyes were a piercing aquamarine that felt like they could bore into you in an instant and tear you soul apart. He still had his deep, almost bruise like, bags under his eyes and skin paler then anyone had a right to have. He was surprisingly very, and she meant very attractive. That's what made it seem even weirder.

"Um…what kind are you…well trying to find?" Ino asked trying to sound friendly. "We've got quite the assortment of flowers from roses to freesia…"

"I can smell the freesia," Gaara said his eyes taking in all the flowers dangling everywhere. It was like being in some kind of alternate reality. "And lavender. Do you also have mint growing somewhere?"

"In the back room…" Ino said shocked once again. His sense of smell was impeccable for not many people were able to tell the difference between the scents in the room, not even her and she had been working there for a long time. "But how did you…?"

"Do you have a flower that isn't normally bought?" Gaara asked turning his eyes back to her. "Something strange?"

"Well, there's our black morning glories…" Ino said thinking. "Oh and our blue roses but those ones are very rare and no one would normally buy something so expensive."

"A blue rose," Gaara said turning his eyes back to a bundle of lilacs. "How much?"

"3000 yen for one," Ino said. "I know it is very much expensive but there isn't that many out there and there terribly hard to breed…"

"I'll take one of the blue roses and one of the black morning glories," Gaara said with a smirk that sent Ino back a bit. "And a bushel of mint."

"Right away," Ino said a little surprised but then again it was the flower festival tonight so he must be planning something. She went in the backroom and 5 minutes later came out with a bushel of mint leaves, one black morning glory, and one single blue rose. Gaara pulled out his wallet quickly as Ino added up the totally cost to 5500 yen. He handed her the cash then took the bushel of mint, morning glory, and rose about to leave.

"Wait!" Ino shocked herself as Gaara was about to walk out of the door. Gaara turned around raising a nonexistent eyebrow curiously. Boy was this getting amusing.

"Yah?" he asked, his low voice slightly mocking but he couldn't really take the edge out of it. This seemed to intimidate her somewhat.

"Well I…" her voice trailed off, her cheeks becoming redder. "I was just thinking…"

"Tick, tick, tick," Gaara mumbled annoyed.

"Are you going to the flower festival tomorrow!" Ino spat out nervously.

Gaara pivoted back inside a little surprised. This really was becoming amusing. "And why would you want to know that?" he strode forward gracefully towards her which seemed to make her feel even more intimidated as she looked up at him shocked.

"Well I…" her voice broke again. She gulped looking down at her fingers. 'get it together Ino, you can do this,' she thought to herself and slowly calmed her voice trying to make it sound less nervous and more appealing. "I was just wondering that maybe you might like to have a date with you of course if you don't already." her eyes flashed up to his under her thick black lashes.

Now he was shocked. In all of his years as Kazekage and even before that people were extremely afraid of him and no one ever came close at all so it was easy to play mind tricks on them and he was pretty sure that he had done this to her…but then why…

"I'm…confused," Gaara said scratching his head lightly. Now it was Ino's turn to be surprised. So she had found Gaara's small weakness. His knowledge of girls. So the tables were turned and in her favour.

"And what's so confusing Gaara?" She said leaning her elbow against the countertop. "That I find you attractive?"

Wow. He wasn't expecting that at all…and where did this new confidence burst come from anyways? It was his turn to be lost for words but he wasn't going to let it go on that note. Not yet at least. It wasn't in his nature to let some girl do this to him.

"And all this time I thought you were scared of me," he chuckled leaning his own elbow done on the countertop putting the flowers on the other side of him leaving very little room between them. He was almost sure the new closeness would scare her off or at least intimidate her somewhat but surprisingly she only smiled.

"And all this time I thought you were handsome," she chuckled her eyes playful. She seemed to be welcoming the closeness and this only made things even more shocking. "But I was wrong. Close up you are definitely more then just handsome. Your extremely gorgeous." Her voice was playing tricks with him and he didn't like it. He was the one who normally played the tricks. Surprisingly for the first time Gaara found a worthy opponent when it came to minds games.

"Oh am I?" he raised his nonexistent eyebrow once again.

"Oh yes, very much so," she reached her hand out whisking away a piece of red hair off his forehead. "Your modesty is quite charming silly boy. So pick me up tomorrow at six?"

"Just name the place," he wasn't ready to give up without a fight. By the end of tomorrow night she would be terrified of him. He almost guaranteed it.

She grabbed a pen out of her out of a little jar from the corner of the counter top then his hand and began scribbling down a number. He was a little surprised by this for no one ever even dared touch him unless absolutely necessary and he knew for a fact it wasn't thanks to the little post-its beside the jar which she could have easily used instead.

"Call me tonight and I'll fill you in on the details," she winked putting the pen back in the jar, her hand still lingering slightly on his.

"I will," and then he left still extremely surprised.

When he made it outside he looked into the center of the blue rose and saw small seeds. Perfect. Slowly, he made his way back towards the Hokage tower running through different ways to intimidate her.

(Break)

The night before had went very smoothly, Hinata had thought. A romantic dinner with Kiba and a kiss at the end. Nothing too drastic and yet she couldn't help but feel ashamed because she had been dating him for so long and soon he would be getting bored of her. She knew that for sure but for some reason he was still with her after all this time. She didn't understand it and yet she was happy because of it. Why though would she not let the relationship go any further? Maybe, were they truly meant to be together or was her heart telling her subtly that it wasn't right? That there was someone else? She had given up on Naruto a year ago when he had left to work with the Kazekage of the sand village. Maybe, was he still the one for her and she just didn't want to believe it?

Slowly she slipped on the lavender coloured dress that her father had wanted her to wear. Her flower tonight was lilac like her mother was when she was her age. When she asked her father if she could be a different flower he told her that she was the Hyuuga heiress and would wear what would symbolize her people. Still, she wished she had the choice just like Hanabi had. At least the dress was beautiful…

"Here, let me help you with that," Neji said walking into the room. Hinata's cheeks went bright as he tied up the back of the dress for her but she knew she shouldn't be so self-conscious around her cousin for that it was he was, her cousin. Still, it was pretty embarrassing having your older cousin do up the back of your dress for you but he was the best at tying knots and weaving so it came easily to him. "So you're going with Inuzuka tonight?"

"Yah…" Hinata said lightly. She hated when Neji became all over possessive about her. It was kind of weird.

"I don't like him…" Neji said a little angrily. "He is seriously trying to annoy me every time he comes over here."

"He's just playing around," Hinata said chuckling. "I think he's funny."

"Well he takes you away from training at lot," Neji said. "And training is your number 1 priority right now."

"Yah, I know," Hinata said looking back at herself in the mirror.

"Now you be careful tonight and I don't want to see that mutt doing anything inappropriate with you."

"I'm sure he wont," Hinata said her cheeks still a little red.

Neji then hugged her lightly as was his habit that he seemed to develop lately and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"See yah," he then walked out of the room smoothly like some kind of apparition, his hair flowing behind him in long strands.

(Back To Kira and Hinata)

"Your cousin sounds like a great man," Kira said lightly.

"He was very kind to me especially after the chunin exams…" I said lightly feeling a tear drip down my cheek softly. "And I still believe that to this day but father had a different plan for both of us that would send us both spiralling into unhappiness…"

"Tell me of what your father wanted," Kira said. "I am here to listen to you Hinata of light."

"You will hear soon enough," I said thankful for the angel that sat before me. He really was truly perfect…
