Do not own any characters!!!

Hmm maybe I should have used my eyes instead of following those old ladies directions and getting a little confused but I do know I am still in Kohona. I could just use my eyes but it would hurt like hell, besides I am not lost per say, just a little detoured. Ah if I had just followed the path out of Kohona or maybe if I had planned my escape a little better or if they hadn't pushed me so far I would be back in Kohona.

I sighed as I felt a presence on me so I duck and rolled out of the way in time for the spot I was in burnt by pink fire and a shinobi in a dark cloak so I started to sigh. He charged at me and I flipped over his shoulder at me and we continued with him attacking and me dodging for about half an hour till he readied his body for an powerful attack and I knew as I felt his chakra rising to his hand so I decided to stop him before I really had to hurt him.

Chakra expulsion technique

I wasn't really thinking this through as the giant Nin fell on top of me and I had no way of getting him off and this guy had no chakra left to move because of my jutsu.

"Ah gomen ne?"

I felt him grunt in response as I tried nicely to shove him off to no luck so I gave up and stared at the setting sun wondering if I should hope some one finds us or wondering if I should hope they didn't. I knew I would be here for a while things were starting to get awkward with the silence so I tried to break it but he beat it to me.

"What the hell did you do to me and who the hell are you?"

I laughed nervously and replied 'I expelled all your chakra from your body to paralyze you."

"Why didn't you just kill me? You could have taken out all my chakra including what I needed to live on."

"I do not believe I should have that power to take your life that power should be in your hands and yours alone."

"You're weak then if you do not have the power to kill your enemy."

"Think what you like Rogue nin-san but I do not believe mercy is weakness, and I do not count you as my enemy."

"I tried to kill you and you do not think I am your enemy, so I ask the question of who would be your enemy?"

"My enemies are the people who try to hurt the people I care about."I felt his laugh through out my entire body, is he mockingme?

"I have never met an opponent like you."
"
Ah thank you nin-san but then I must say you are with the wrong kind of people if you do not mercy and think everyone as your enemy."

"Hai I am with the ones who promise me power and all my wishes and they do not have time for your mercy."

"Hmm it must be lonely with only power at your side, and I highly doubt that they can ever give you what you truly wish for."

"Heh the power they have given me is more then you can imagine and I have every wish granted."

"Ah you mean the power that has landed you helpless on top of me." I felt the body stiffened and I continued " Plus I don't think when you were kid you wanted to be a rogue nin without a true home, a loving family, caring friends, honor and pride or even an regretful life."

He didn't say anything to that and I let myself relax as much as I could under the situation and hours passed in silence

"Who are you?" My eyes snapped open at his voice as I shifted my head to let him look into my eyes for the first time since our encounter and watched as his eyes widen with fear then shift through many emotions before he settled on one that I really didn't want to deal with.

"Hinata Hyuuga of the Kohona's great rookie nine, I have to say this is the last place I ever expected to meet you Hinata-sama but it does explain a lot of things. " I smiled at him and I felt his body relax from when he figured out who he was dealing with.

"I heard that you don't leave Kohona with out escorts and yet I find out here all alone wondering aimlessly in a kimono without a weapon in sight, so what's the deal?" I returned my stare to the starry sky thinking if I should tell him this about me. Kiba said bartenders are really good to talk to because its an outside opinion and it's stranger, so this guy is a stranger and he'd give me a good view, besides bartender or rogue nin there's not a real difference.

"I suppose it started out with my family yesterday morning;"

Flash Back

I looked at a spot on the floor and kept my eyes there as the voices around shot back and forth both asking me about anything just deciding. The elders had come together to try and figure who I should marry and who would benefit the clan the most and I was there because the elders felt the need to include me in absolutely every meeting they had, even the ones where they decided their breakfasts for the next week. At first I had felt like I was making progress with my clan and their respect but I soon realized as I grew into my body that was going to be just another tool in their belt. Over the years I had become their errand runner doing the paper work recording meetings overseeing the entire house servants. I was broken out of my revere by what one of the old men said and my heart lurched.

"Hinata-sama I think it is time to stop you're your ridiculous medic training and working!" I heard all the other elders nod in agreement saying they had been lenient enough and it's time I should focus on becoming a hyuuga bride. I felt my resentment bubble through me but I pushed it down.

"So it is settled Hinata-sama will quit being a Nin to focus on her bride studies-"

"No"

"Excuse me Hinata-sama did you say something."

They glared at me warning if I spoke out against them I would get another beating or even a worse punishment but I couldn't let them take this from me.

"I have worked hard to become a respectable nin and even more as one of the Hokage apprentices' and all of you have the nerve to sit there and make the decision of giving up that part of me with out even looking at my direction? I have made countless sacrifices for you and this clan but you do not have this right elder." Yeesh if they don't shut their mouths they might choke on a fly.

"Hmm I understand what your saying Hinata-sama."

Everyone turned their attention to elder Hiroshige who was nodding and the elders turned their glares from me to him.

"You do?" I shut my mouth and stared at the elder wondering if the sky was going to start falling or Hanabi pop out and say it was a trick.

"Are you sick man?"

"Yes Hinata-sama's position with the Kage can raise her marriage price and it would be good to keep her there for now till after her marriage then she will quit and focus on being a good wife for her chosen." I felt myself sicken at my family and wondered how I could ever think they would think of me as a person instead of a pawn and anything to give them a proper heir.

They made more dates about my future and I sat there staring at the floor resigning that I will be a brooding mare for some man and nothing more.

End of flash back

"Why would you let some old bastards control your life?"

"I have given everything for them, they were my family, my blood who was I to betray them?"

"I take it there's more?"

"Ah Hai."

Flash back

I sat watching everyone train wondering why I was even invited if they weren't going to let me spar with them, all of the rookie Nine were here along with Gai's team. I wondered over to the side and went through my kata's and started to manipulate my chakra into solid so I could create a blade that lasted longer then a minute. I was exhausted by the time I sat down with every one and I just wanted to sit there with everyone and relax before I had to go to training at the tower.

"Hey Hinata it's your turn to get brunch for us!' I heard the agreement of everyone before I could even get a word out, I felt my anger rise at them considering it had always been my turn and none of them have even taken a turn yet. I saw them laughing and smiling so I swallowed my anger before I got up and walked away with out a word.

I walked along the street as people moved out of my way to avoid the hyuuga, I quickened my pace and stepped into a tea shop and waited in line for the lady to notice me. 15 minutes later after everyone was served the girl turned to look at me with a glare and I sighed trying to think about what the hell I did to her to make her so pissed. I gave her the list and she snatched it from me and I told her it was to go, but what surprised me that she started smiling and taking in a lower voice, Was she hitting on me?

I'll take Domburi with green tea the onigiri with jasmine tea" The girl smiled at him and winked.

I felt like my day couldn't get worse as I turned my head side ways to look at sea storm eyes.

"Ah Kazekage-sama I didn't know you were in town."

He continued to stare at me till he slightly smiled at me and my insides turned, hmm it must be because my instincts are kicking in and he's up to something.

"Ah so I'll go wait for my food and I hope you and your guest enjoy the food." I bowed at him and turned but I didn't get very far as I felt him grab my wrist and lightly drag me across the room to sit at a table for two. I looked around and blushed a little bit at everyone staring at us till Kazekage-sama broke the silence.

'Look at me not them." I snapped my head to look at him with open eyes and my blush getting redder.

"Demo Kazekage-"

"You will call me Gaara." My blush was getting redder and my stomach was doing more turns.

"Ah Gaara-sama what about your guest?"

"I want you to call me Gaara and that's it and you are the only person I who I will want sit across from me."

We stared at each other till my plate was dropped in front of my with a loud thump that made my ears wince.

"Ah gomen it slipped Hyuuga-san." The girl glared at me from an angle that Gaara couldn't see and when she turned around she looked all happy at Gaara, hmm I really can't remember why she hates me.

"Is there anything I can do for you Gaara?"

Man she must be tired if she talking so low and slow and her eye is twitching.

I saw Gaara look at me before he talked to the girl without looking at her.

"Leave your disturbing my guest and its Kazekage to you girl.'

"But you let the baka hyuuga call you Gaara and she can't even tell that you-"

'Enough leave before I get angry." Poor girl she's probably scared.

"you're feeling sorry for her aren't you?"

I look up at him and I nod and he frowns at me and I still don't understand why he was hard on the tired girl.

"You are much too nice; people will take advantage of that if you don't have some around to stop that from happening."

I think about what he says, I know what he says is true but my friends usually stick up for me; or they just want to use me for themselves.

My eyes widen as I hastily get up and apologize to Gaara as I finish up my meal and I can tell he isn't pleased with my abrupt leaving but I rush to the counter and grab everyone's lunch and rush out the restaurant back to the field.

End of flash back

"Feh you are a baka."

"Hey that's not nice, Gaara-sama is always ordering me to accompany him places when he didn't need me and the result is the same."
