Warning: Gaara is going to save a kitten! Run for your lives!

Just wondering… There are veterinarians in Konoha, are there?

Hinata's Discovery

Hinata frowned, watching the red haired boy, no older than her, picking up the hurt kitten. Realization struck as she took in the red hair, the love character on his forehead and the gourd.

Sabaku no Gaara.

She watched as the emotionless boy clutch the kitten's paw firmly. The kitten was scared and had all reason to be.

Not often did a stranger resembling a panda, though his eyes had far more murder intent than a panda's. The paw was injured, a sharp gash, probably obtained from the trap lying near Gaara's foot. He stared at it, surveying the damage. He then proceeds to carry it. Quite a feat, indeed. How did he ever manage it? The kitten was clawing his arms, squirming and screeching.

Gaara walked, away from the forest, heading back to the streets. He went straight into a veterinarian place not far from where he was. Hinata followed him, watched him wait for it to be treated, pay for the bills and left the place. Gaara released the cat, letting it roam free.

"What are you staring at?" he said it a cold, indifferent tone. His back was facing her; she stuttered an apology and ran.

She ran until she was sure she had lost him. Hinata smiled to herself, after hearing the fight between him and Rock Lee, she feared him. All the rumors floating around, she was sure he was a blood thirsty devil.

Hinata knew a fact, a fact that blew the other rumors out of mind. A fact that she felt happy to know. The fact that Gaara had a heart, no matter how small, he had one.

End.

I felt like writing Gaara as a nice guy. Thank you for taking time to read this. Bow Smile Please review as I need to built up self confidence.
