The Kunochi and the Demon
A/N This was just an idea in my head for a little while but I thought would be cute because I love the pairing Hina/Gaara but this is about them meeting when they're younger and become friends and I hope people like.
It was a sunny day in Konoha and as children were playing in the Academy playground, a young girl was sitting on a swing. She had short brunette hair, lavender eyes and wore a dress.
She was a member of the Hyuga Clan but her father had disowned her and sent her to konoha because she wasn't strong enough and disappointed him but her sensei Kurenai looked after her.
Hinata watched as the other kids played but sighed.
She was very shy and quiet but was nervous seeing Neji approach.
He was Hinata's cousin but very mean and didn't like her very much.
"Why're you even here?
Somebody like you could never be an ninja." he said.
"What's your problem?" he heard somebody say as he turned around.
He and the other kids gasped seeing a boy with spiky red hair, green eyes with dark rings around his eyes, wore boots and had a cape around his back which hid a small gourd.
But Neji and the other kids were scared.
"I said what's your problem?" the boy asked Neji.
"N-Nothing." he said leaving Hinata alone.
But Hinata saw the strange boy sigh sadly.
"What's wrong?
I'm Hinata." the young Hyuga said.
"I-I'm Gaara and I'm...... a monster." he answered.
"I don't see a monster, just another kid." she answered.
Gaara was stunned by this but surprised because nobody, not even his father and siblings would say something like that to him but liked the warm feeling it gave him.
"Before my mother gave birth to me, my father sealed the Shakukau in my body.
It was a powerful demon making me a monster.
I can't sleep or take naps because it would take over me and destroy the village.
My father and siblings hate me." Gaara explained sadly.
Hinata then hugged him but a blast of sand nearly pushed her away.
"You may have a demon in you but you're not a monster.
I know." she said to him.
He smiled at that shyly as they saw Iruka-sensei and went into class.........
It was nap time but Hinata watched as Gaara was sitting in a meditative pose on the mat.
Some of the other kids found that weird but Hinata understood as she felt sorry for him but hoped that others would understand him one day but saw somebody else awake.
It was a boy with yellow spiky hair, blue eyes and whiskers on his face.
"Naruto get back here!" Iruka said chasing the youngster as he laughed.
Hinata coiuldn't help but smile at that.
She had a feeling he was like Gaara because the other kids picked on him and never played with him or talked to him.
She wondered why.
She then saw him look at Gaara but Hinata saw the youngster leave because it was making him sleepy but later sge saw him alone on the swing but sighed knowing the other kids wouldn't let him play with them.
But then she saw the boy that Iruka had been chasing come over to her and Gaara but the red haired boy was afraid but the yellow haired boy wondered why he was so afraid.
"I'm Naruto.
I'm going to be the Hokage someday.
Who're you and the kid on the swing?" he told her.
"I-I'm Hinata and this is Gaara but he's very shy." she told him.
They then played the rest of the day.
But Gaara watched as the other kid's big brothers, sisters or parents were picking them up but knew nobody would come for him but then somebody appeared.
It was Kurenai, Hinata's sensei and foster mother.
"Did you have a good time?" she asked the girl gently.
She nodded but saw her go into the classroom to talk to Iruka.
Gaara was on the swing outside as Hinata was waiting for Kurenai but saw a smile on his face as he watched her.
She then saw Kurenai come out but looked nervous but Gaara watched as they left but saw Iruka beckon him into the room.
But it was because he had adopted Gaara seeing as the Kazekage didn't want his demon of a son in Suna but Iruka felt sorry for Gaara knowing that he was still just a child and not some vicious monster.......
