Day: 1
Once in a long time Hinata Hyuuga left her room. She was depressed for a long time because something happened. It broke her heart. If something got on her nerves she would snap. Even if she didn't seem like it, she was now as strong enough to kill Neji and even Gaara.
She walked past the famous ramen stand. She found Ino and Sakura sitting there talking, smiling, and laughing. Hinata frowned at this sight in front of her… Hinata stood there watching them until Ino turned around.
"Hi Hinata-chan! Haven't seen you in such a long time." she gave her a big smile. Hinata's response was a weak smile that soon went away. She continued walking her fists clenched when she walked past Sakura.
"Hinata," Sakura said, "Have you seen Naruto? I was wondering if he has time to go on a date later." Sakura knew Hinata had a big crush on Naruto for the longest time, and now was secretly torturing her.
Hinata's clenched her fists clenched tighter. Sakura knew that she had a big crush on Naruto. But what was driving Hinata insane was that she didn't know if Sakura was doing it on purpose or it was just fate that they would be together. She knew Sakura wasn't like that. Right now anger was taking control of Hinata's body. She walked slowly towards Sakura. Hinata hide her eyes with her bangs and activated her Byakugan. A smirk rose on her face. "You won't have the time later…"
"H-Hinata?" Sakura stuttered the way she was acting was kind of scaring her. Hinata readied a kunai to stab someone. "Hina--" she was cut off bye the kunai stabbed deep into her neck right on the jugular vein. Blood spattered everywhere. Ino's eyes widened her eyes filled with fear . Hinata deactivated her byakugan. Her smirk went away she looked at Sakura's cold dead body that fell on the floor. Her eyes also widened she lifted her hand that was covered with blood. Her hand was trembling terribly as she stared at her hand. Hinata put her hand down. She stepped back slowly and turned around running towards the Hyuuga mansion. She ran into Neji on the way towards her room.
"Hinata-sama?" he saw the blood on her.
"Gomen!" she yelled slamming the door of her room. She gathered most of her stuff and put it in her back pack. She opened her window and jumped out of it heading towards Konoha gates. Hinata ran out of Konoha she had no where to go. Tears ran down her face. 'What have I done?'
--
Neji ran to the Hokage tower. He slammed the door open when he reached Tsunade's office. Tsunade looked up at Neji not surprised to see him.
"I know why you're here…" Tsunade said before Neji could say anything. Neji looked over to his right and saw a crying Ino sitting in a chair. "It's about Hinata…isn't it?"
Neji nodded, "She came home, but she had blood stains on her jacket …and she ran to her room when she saw me." Neji stared at the floor.
"S-she k-killed Sakura." Ino said she started trembling and her eyes began to widen as the flash back of her friend being killed by the last person she would think that would kill Sakura. Neji's eyes began to widen also… he couldn't imagine that Hinata a gentle and caring person would kill someone randomly ,but there had to be a reason.
'Hinata… she killed Sakura… wasn't she Naruto's girlfriend? Why would she…oh…-'
"Neji?!" Tsunade yelled at him. He snapped out of his thoughts. " Are you ok…maybe you should go home and rest." that was more like a demand then an suggestion.
"uh…Tsunade-sama…is I mean was Sakura Naruto's girlfriend?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Have you told Naruto about Sakura's death?"
"…"
Hinata ran for what seemed like hours. She stopped running and took her headband off . She threw it at the sand. Today she became a missing -nin.
'It looks like Suna is the closest village, so I guess I'll beheading there." she nodded to herself and began running again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kazekage Gaara was watching over his village. He was standing on the rooftop of the Kazekage mansion. 'This is so boring…surprisingly I don't have any paperwork.' he looked up at the sky then back to the village. Gaara jumped off of the roof and landed in front of the Kazekage mansion.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hinata entered the village. 'This is the first time I've been here…' Hinata thought to herself. Hinata walked around for a while. Looking at the floor wasn't a good thing you might walk into something or bump into someone, but Hinata kept looking at the ground.
BAM!
She fell down landing on her on her butt.
"Hyuuga?" someone asked her. She looked up and saw that she bumped into Gaara.
"G-gomen." she said silently. Gaara looked at her clothes and he noticed the blood.
"What happened?" his voice emotionless. Hinata stood up and started stared at the floor. "Do you want to tell me? But somewhere else though…" Hinata trusted Gaara a little. You could say they were ok friends. After Shukaku was removed from him…I guess you can say they started talking to each other. Hinata nodded at his question. He turned around and started walking towards the mansion Hinata started walking behind him. She looked around and saw the stares they were getting. Hinata's face turned a slight pink.
They stood in front of the Kazekage mansion.
'Sugoi…" she thought . The mansion was larger than the Hyuuga mansion. She stared at the mansion and didn't notice calling her name several times.
"Hinata!" Gaara yelled waving his hand in front of her face.
"Oh s-s-sorry about that…" Gaara let out a sigh and then entered the mansion. Hinata followed him inside.
"Hi Gaara!" Temari yelled walking towards the young Kazekage. She looked over Gaara's shoulder . She raised her eyebrow and pointed her finger at Hinata. "Who is that?" She didn't recognize her.
"Its Hinata from the leaf village." he answered emotionless to his older sisters question.
"Oh Hinata-chan! Hi!" Temari had a big grin on her face and walked over and hugged Hinata.
"H-Hi Temari…" she stammered while blushing a little. She stopped hugging Hinata and looked at her clothes. Temari raised her eyebrow but didn't ask about the blood on her clothes. Hinata realized this and then frowned a little and looked at the floor. "I'll get you a different pair of clothes. Don't worry about it!" Temari gave Hinata a big smile and Hinata smiled too, glad having a good friend like Temari. She walked away to get some clothes.
" You might want to change your appearance completely incase they come looking for you."
"Hai…Kazekage-sama"
"Just call me Gaara…" Hinata looked up at him and smiled. You could say he smiled ..but it vanished as quickly as it began.
"Hey Gaara!" Gaara had a 'god not you face' on. Hinata looked at him questionably . That's when the puppet 'master' came into view, she understood then .
"Hi Kankuro." he mumbled. Kankuro looked at the girl next to his little brother. He walked over to her. Hinata tried to back away form him.
"Hey …I'm Kankuro . Wha-"
"Don't even think about it ,its Hinata." Gaara glared at his brother. Kankuro had a 'That's even better' look. " I have to talk to her about something."
"Ohhhh." Kankuro said slyly , "Have fun you two!" he said very loudly. Gaara just glared while Hinata was turning many different shades of red.
"You'll just have to learn to ignore him." Gaara had an anime style sweat drop. Hinata giggled, "Ok Gaara-sam- I mean Gaara-kun. G-Gomen" Hinata blushed a little and Gaara sighed . Right then Temari walked in the room with clothes , " Hina-chan I got some clothes for ya!" Temari had an evil grin on her face. Only Kami knows what she's planning on just what she's going to do to poor lil' Hinata.
"O-Ok t-t-thank you 'Mari-chan." Hinata was like O.O when she saw Temari's evil grin. Hinata walked slowly over to Temari and then Temari …literally dragged her to her room

''Oi Tsunade what did you call me here for?'' asked Naruto in an annoyed voice.
''Naruto I-I think you should sit...'' replied Tsunade extremely worried for the hokage-to-be's well being.
''Ok,'' Naruto said while taking a chair,' 'what's up then?''
''Sakura...um...Sakura was killed today Naruto...we tried to save her when it was reported but it was too late...and I'm afraid she's gone...forever..'' Tsunade said trying to fight back tears. Sakura was her apprentice after all.
''Tsunade ...you've got to be kidding...Sakura can't die that easily...she's alive and you're all playing a joke right?'' Naruto said. A great deal of denial in his voice.
''...''
''Sakura...how the hell did she die Tsunade?! Its not like someone was after her...How the hell can this happen??'' Naruto yelled ,with anger and sadness in his voice.
''She was killed Naruto...by..by Hinata...'' Tsunade said motonlessly , but Naruto could tell that even she didn't want to believe her own words.
''Hinata-chan? But Tsunade...s-she of a-all t-the people I know w-would n-never do this kind of thing...''said Naruto holding back the tears now threatening to come out of his eyes.
''I don't want to believe it either Naruto but...its the truth...apparently she has been depressed for a while now… and I guess Sakura pushed it too far by telling her about your relationship. I guess you could say that Hinata snapped and killed her. After doing so Neji told me that Hinata ran to her room and locked the door. Now no one even knows where she is now. We think she ran away and we are now sending messages to neighboring villages to look for her. She loved you a lot Naruto. And I'm sure Sakura knew that, and that is what caused her death.'' Tsunade explained. Anger at her former student was visible in her eyes now. Even though Tsunade cared for Sakura, she knew that what Sakura did was cruel.
''S-she l-loved me...''
Naruto then collapsed on the floor crying. He merely went out with Sakura because he thought it would be a nice way to practice to go out. Both Naruto and Sakura had agreed that their relationship was nothing more than meer friendship.
''Sakura HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HER...you deserve to die Damn it!'' Naruto then punched the wall next to him.
'' Tsunade, let me go look for her. I-I need to tell her I'm sorry...''
''You know Hinata...you would really look good in that. You have a good body shape. Gaara is going to love it. So are you going to ask him? '' Temari stated with a grin plastered on her face.
''N-nani?'' Hinata asked while staring at Temari wide eyed and turning 70 different shades of red. , "A-ask h-h-him w-hat?"
''Well, you are here to marry Gaara and pull that stick out of his butt aren't you? I mean to be honest the guy needs to get laid BAD! Not to mention he's still a virgin ,and he's what 20 now? I lost mine when I was 15 for kami's sake!'' Temari said a bit too enthusiastically.
'' Waaayy too much information Temari-chan.'' ''and whats wrong with being a virgin!?''. ''And Im actually here because I just killed one of my fellow ninja. I guess you could say I snapped and ..um killed her...Sakura...heh I guess she deserved it though...'' Hinata said thinking back at the moment at the ramen bar,'' and before I knew it I arrived here and Gaara-kun invited me over here. '' she said with a genuine smile showing happiness on her face.
''Wow...you mean Gaara .THE Kazekage Gaara actually invited you over here?!'' Temari asked, shocked at her brother's behavior.
''Y-yeah he did''
''Hehe...I don't think he just invited you here 'cause he felt like it.Gaara isnt that kind of guy. Haha just as I thought. He really does like you. He looks at you with an intense yet very gentle look. His eyes show compassion and kindness when he looks at you. He has never given anyone that look before...well except a cookie '' Temari said giggling. Hinata giggled at the statement while blushing a lil.
''I know I'm sounding really deep right now but, hey this is my first time seeing my brother in love!'' Temari exclaimed loudly.
Unknown to everyone Gaara was outside the door. He was going to knock and ask what was taking so long.
'' ...just as I thought. He really does like you. he looks at you with an intense yet very gentle look. his eyes show compassion and kindness when he looks at you. He has never given that look before...'' '' Oh kami...Do I really like her that much? Does it really show that much?'' ''I know I'm sounding really deep right now but ,hey this is my first time seeing my brother in love!''
"Does he like me that much?" she asked. Temari smiled .
"Why don't you ask him your self?" Temari opened the door revealing Gaara ,who was standing there listening in on them, and pushed Hinata out the door and then closed it. Hinata now had her hands on Gaara's chest and her face against his chest as well.
Gaara was shocked not just because Hinata
was well touching him but because of what she was wearing. It was a white tube top with fishnet sleeves , it was tight and it showed off in places ,there were also fishnets at the bottom of the shirt so it kind a covered her stomach . She also had black tight shorts that were very short and her ninja boots were knee high. Her hair was tied back (it looked like Kikyo's). Temari gave her contacts to change the color of her eyes incase someone came looking for her, they were now a dark violet.
Hinata , who just realizing in the position she was in , started to blush an backed away saying sorry a thousand times ,till she backed up into the door and hit her head on the door. "Itai," she muttered rubbing her head. She looked up at Gaara to only see him smirking at her, so the most natural thing she did was that she blushed and then hung her head low and hunched her back. "G-gao…"
Gaara walked over to her and softly smacked her on the head, " Stand straight its bad for your back."
"D-demo…why did y-''
"I hit you for saying "gao" it's a bad habit . Anyway you had something to tell me right?" he walked of to his office, man he had a change of mood or he was trying to hide something. Hinata just stared at him as he walked away. OH how she whished that she had her jacket but Temari wont let her have it, poor lil Hina-chan. Slowly Hinata followed Gaara into a big office.
He sat in his big chair and motioned Hinata to sit. She closed the door behind her, and sat down looking at her hands on her lap, her bangs shielding her eyes.
"Maybe I could let it out now…" tears slide down her pale face, Gaara looked at her confused. " Why did I kill her!? IT WAS SELFISH OF ME!! Why!?" she lifted her hands to her face , she was crying so hard it hurt , " I'm so stupid I did that only because of him! I knew it was never going to happen but I just snapped…please forgive me for what I've done….Sakura." Gaara was still confused yet he was starting to understand..
Gaara stood up and walked over to Hinata and kneeled next to her. "Hin…Hinata, Its going to be ok. What's done has been done, and I'm here don't worry…" he hugged her , wishing he could believe his own words. She cried on his shoulder until her own tears abandoned her. "You ok Hinata?" he began to let go of her, but she held on to him. You can say that was his answer to his question.
"P-Please don't leave me…" she clung on to him. Gaara felt sad; he pulled her out of the chair so it would be more comfortable to hold her. He rubbed her back to comfort her ,"Its going to be ok." he repeated many times to her. The sobs began to fade and her grip on him loosened ." A-arigoto Gaara.-kun"
She let go of him and stood up as so did Gaara.
Gaara leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. Hinata now dark violet eyes widened as a blush formed on her pale skin ."Its going to be ok.." with that Gaara quickly left the office to hide his own blush that was his own.

" Naruto I don't think it would be a good if you went to find her." Tsunade was now arguing with Naruto to not go and find Hinata.
"Why not Tsunade!? " he retorted.
"Naruto! It wont be good for her to see her at least not in her condition! Give her time to heal " Tsunade has treated many patients in her condition. Even Tsunade herself was in Hinata's condition, after Dan's death she felt like she couldn't go on with life in the village and left. But now look at her the 5th hokage about to retire and married too.
"How long will that take!? Huh?! Tell me!?" Naruto was pissed, Tsunade looked down at her desk, "Forget it IM LOOKING FOR HER!" he ran out of the office before Tsunade couldn't stop him in time. Naruto ran through the empty streets of Konoha. 'I'll find you Hinata I promise.' tears began to fall but the wind blew his tears away.
He reached the entrance of Konoha only to be stopped by three figures who were now standing in front of him.
"Get out of my way NOW!" the three shadow figures just stood there.
"I don't think we can let you leave." one stepped out of the shadows and appeared to be Sasuke.
"What?"
"Especially without us." one being Sai with his famous fake smile on and the other one being Neji with his arms crossed over his chest.
"And plus I'm thinking about bringing nee-chan back too." Neji said cooly.
"I think I should go ….by myself!"
"Don't think so dope…You might get yourself in trouble again heh."
"Also Hinata-sama can be a lil stubborn sometimes." he should know this big time, poor Neji.
" But why is-"
"Same reason as Sasuke's."
"Alright you guys can come…but were to look first?" Naruto just noticed this was going to be harder than he thought, she could have altered her appearance and be moving from village to village. Neji smirked.
"Simple…" the three boys looked at him confused,
"Suna."
--
Hinata stood on the balcony with her white nightgown ,staring at the moon and starts they looked so much brighter and alive then they did in Konoha. As did she, in Konoha she felt bound to chains and in Suna she felt those bounds release slowly.
Hinata closed her eyes letting her newly cut hair blow in the wind, and slowly drifted to old memories of her mom.
"Mommy what are you doing?" a small girl, about the age of three, asked her mother. Her mom just smiled. They were in a small little garden just outside the Hyuuga compound.
"Listen to me my child, for what I'm about to tell you shouldn't be told to others ok?" the small little girl nodded , "When your sister is born, I'm going to leave this place. And when I do I want you to be strong and brave especially for your little sister. So when I leave don't follow me but later on life you will free yourself from those chains…don't let anyone bring you down." Her mom kissed her on the forehead , " Be strong no matter what, my little angel."
Hinata's mom got her stuff ready to leave and was heading to Hinata's room. She opened the door slightly , "Hinata-chan I'm leaving." "NO your not…" a cold voice came form the darkness. Hiashi came into view holding Hinata by the back of her neck. "H-Hiashi let her go!" Hiashi pushed Hinata down onto the floor and pulled out a kunai. "You were going to betray the clan weren't you? Give away our secret you wretched bitch." he pinned Hinata's mom to the door and cut her pale skin ,"Hinata are you watching?" Hinata's eyes wide on the floor ," Hinata don't look close your eyes!" Hiashi slashed down into her neck A tear rolled down her pale skin she held her hands to her heart , "I'm sorry mother…" she looked up to the stars as a shooting star flew across the midnight sky. "Be strong Hinata.." "Hinata ….live." "Hinata? What are you doing?" "G-Gaara?" she was pulled up by him. When her feet met the ground she lost her balance only to be caught by Gaara. The side of her face against his chest she heard his heart. thump thump "Hinata what where you trying to do?" she was to intrigued with the sound of his heart and didn't answer his question, "Hinata?" he shook her a little bit. "I saw mother…Your heart sounds weird it sounds weirder then niisan's, yet I like it." Gaara was confused , " What does mine sound like?" He looked at her with kindness in his eyes , but blushed at thought of listening to heart, well actually were it was. He put his ear to her heart, it sounded frighteningly faint , but it also sounded nice. "It sounds…nice." he smiled at her. She put her hand on his chest to feel his heart, Hinata closed her eyes. She reached for his hand and it over her heart. Gaara could barely feel it but at least he could feel it. 'I wonder why her heart is like that. Its to faint for comfort I might want to take her to the hospital tomorrow.' he felt something hit his chest , Hinata had fallen asleep standing. He smiled a sad smile and picked her up bridal style and put her on her bed. "Good night Hinata…" he walked out the door and went on the roof to think about things. -- A group of four people were in a forest. Three were asleep one was awake , that being Naruto. It was his turn to be look out. He sat there leaning against a tree a kunai in hand. He twirled it around in sheer boredom. 'Maybe I should go ahead…these guys are slowing me down. Hinata could be some where else before we get to Suna.' Naruto threw the kunai on the ground got up and started sprinting through the forest. Unknown to him he was being followed. End Day 1
