*Gaara's PoV*
"Wake up!"
I turned over as I heard my mother scream through my door and glanced at my alarm clock. 6:30 A.M. 'Fuck... I felt like I haven't slept long enough...' I thought grimly as I got up, grabbing clean clothes out of my closet as I opened the door, my mother standing there smiling softly "I didn't want you to be late at your new school Gaara." I knew his mother wanted the best for me, but I just nodded at her as I walked to the bathroom.
'A new school... again... fun...'
I sighed and turned on the water of the shower and waited till it got scolding hot before stepping into the cascading water, letting it run over my body. I hoped things weren't going to be like my last school, where I had to leave due to fighting, like every school in my past. Getting out of the shower, I put on black baggy pants, a dark red tee shirt and a red and black hoodie on over it. Before walking down stairs, I slipped on my black DCs. Walking down the stairs, I grab my bag and went to the kitchen, checking my phone for the time. Seeing Temari and Kankuro already at the table eating, I grab some eggs and orange juice, pecking mother softly on the cheek. Everyone saw a different side of me except my family, who has always see the love I hold for them. Eating my eggs quickly, I wave bye at everyone and walk out the door. I look at my bike and smile, The Crimson red body stood out off of the black frame and motor. I loved that bike. Hopping onto my motorcycle, putting my black and crimson red helmet on.
*Hinata's PoV*
Waking up, I stretch and look at my clock. 6:30 A.M. I sit up and sigh, 'Another day at school...' I look over at the mirror on the Vanity against my wall, my opalescent eyes sad and somewhat hollow. I didn't want to go through with another day with Naruto. I mean at first, I had a big crush on him, but since we went into high school, he changed... and not for the better. Sighing I stand up and gather my clothes and quietly make my way to the bathroom.
Turning on the water in the sink, I wet my toothbrush, putting it in my mouth, brushing my teeth. Once I brush my teeth take my pajamas off and step into the bathtub, letting the water run down my body. I lather up my long raven hair and rinse it out before I start to wash my body. Serveral thoughts running through my head about how today was going to go.
Once I got out of the shower, I put my underwear on, then my bra. I slid the black skinny jeans up and buttoned them before putting my belt through the loops on the jeans. I slipped a lavander tank top on before finishing the ensemble with a black leather half jacket. I brushed my hair and left it down, my hair hanging past my hips. Walking back to my bedroom, I grab my purse as I turn out the light, skipping down the steps and into the kitchen where my father, sister and cousin are sitting.
"Ohayo Nii-san and Nee-chan!" I walk over to the cabinet and grabs a glass and pours some juice into the cup, drinking it quickly before I wash the glass and run out the door, flipping my phone open to see any missed text messages. I saw one and she figured it was from Naruto, like it normally it is. I sighed and flipped my phone closed, getting into my car, starting it up, reving it up before putting it to gear and heading towards the school.
Starting up the bike, he revved it a couple times before taking off, the red on the body of the bike becoming a blur as he sped down the street to Konoha High, the new torturous school Gaara was to endure for the next three years as long as he didn't mess it up. Temari was a senior, Kankuro was a Junior and Gaara was a Sophmore. Slowing down as he pulled into the fairly empty parking lot, getting off of my bike, securing his helmet around the handle bars and looked up at the school, sighing.
'Maybe this will be different for me...'
'It will never be different for you boy!
'Shut up Shukaku...'
'Ouch... That hurts...'
He rolled his eyes mentally at the demon that resided inside of him, recieving a chuckle from the demon. Walking through the doors, Gaara made a bee-line to the office, making sure no one stopped me for whatever reason they had. Walking through the office door, a blonde woman turned around and he looked up at her. She was tall and had a huge bust, which was shown through the deep A-line tan shirt she wore. Gaara looked into her honey colored eyes and was about to open his mouth to say something before papers got shoved under my nose. He closed his mouth and grabbed the papers that the woman had handed me. He looked over them quickly and saw it was the school's handbook, my class schedule and other papers he would need my mother to sign. "Thank you...uhm...?" He looked up at her and her eyebrow twitched slightly. "Tsunade works fine. Remember, I accepted you into this school and I know your past occurances, make sure it doesn't happen here. Got it?" He nodded before he turned to find my locker to put my bag in, studying my schedule. 'Music...?! The fuck is this shit?!' Gaara thought before he growled in displeasure. The only people that knew he could sing was his family... and that was because of Temari hearing in on him in the shower and telling mom and Kankuro.
Hearing Shukaku chuckle again at his displeasement, Gaara growled again and found his locker. 'Try it out little one. You might enjoy it.' Gaara stared at my locker in disbelief. If Shukaku would have been there in front of him, he would have strangled him on the spot. Incesant cackling followed as Gaara mentally visualized the scene playing out. 'Mock all you want. Now go away.' Gaara growled threateningly at him before putting his bag in his locker, slamming it shut. More students started to arrive and Gaara decided it would have been best to make his way to my first class. Looking at his schedule again, he found homeroom, with people already sitting in their desks. Gaara walked over to the teacher which seemed to be reading...'Porn?!' He looked at the teacher impatiently and cleared my throat to get his attention as more students filed into the classroom. The silver haired teacher looked up at him and smiled under his mask.
"OH! You must be the new student! Please introduce yourself to the class! State your name, likes, dislikes... Ya'know, any hobbies..." The man stated as the bell rang for classes to begin. Hearing whispers from the other classmates, Gaara knew that this was going to be another school he was going to get kicked out of. The girls looked at me with lust and desire and the guys looked at me, enraged that their girlfriends were looking at me that way. To be honest, it wasn't Gaara's fault that he was 'good looking' as others had put it. Opening his mouth, an impassive look on his face as he looked at the classmates. "My name is Sabaku no Gaara, I like my band and I hate violence." To him, his voice seemed foreign as hating violence rolled off of his tongue so easily. He looked over at the teacher again. "Alrighty then, my name is Kakashi. You can sit by Hinata. Oh! Welcome to Konoha High."
*Hinata's PoV*
After walking to my locker and grabbing what homework I didn't do at home, I turn to see Naruto walking towards me, his yellow spiky hair standing out among the crowd. Of course I can't escape because there is no where I can escape to... Naturally, I hang my head in defeat before I feel him right in front of me. I normally don't mind but there was something off about him since him and I got together. Naruto has become more possessive... no... more obsessive over me. I felt his arm around me and I flinched inwardly and kept my eyes down towards the floor as the rest of the crew walked up.
"Hey Hinata!" a pinked haired woman named Sakura said to me. She was sweet, but she wasn't one to really mess with as far as fighting goes. I smile meekly at my pink haired friend. "H-Hello Sakura-chan. Hello I-Ino." She got tired of being shy... It was ridiculous and there was no need in it. We started to disperse as Ino, Sakura and I went to home room, seeing a guy with blood red hair, teal eyes with what looked like eyeliner around his intense eyes. Hinata sat down in her seat and looked at him. 'Who is he...?' I asked myself, keeping my mouth shut. I tried not to stare at him, but there was something in his eyes that was guarded, and I wanted to help him for some reason. Heard him introduce himself as Sabaku no Gaara and my eyes grew wide. I watched him after he walked to his desk next to me as he glanced at me with those teal eyes and I quickly looked away, feeling my face start to burn up as a blush crept across my face. I turned to Sakura when her and Ino whispered to me about Gaara. "Hey, isn't that the guy that has gotten kicked out of Suna High?" Sakura whispered. I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders when Ino spoke up "Yea! I think so! I heard he got into a fight and nearly killed the kid... He is bad news guys..." I glanced at him and sighed, feeling my heart hurt for him. Maybe we could become friends to prove to the others that he isn't that bad... Just maybe...
*Gaara's PoV*
I nodded and spotted a girl with raven hair and opal eyes. The slightest hint of lavender in her giant orbs looked hollow and lonely, and I felt my heart pang. I realized that this girl must be Hinata judging by the empty desk beside her. I walked over to the desk and sat down next to her. The girl looked away and a slow blush crept across her cheeks when I glanced over at her. I turned my head back to my desk and laid my head down on the cold surface, not wanting to deal with anyone at that moment. It felt like her eyes were calling out for me to help her in some way or another, and I couldn't figure out why. I glanced over at her again, and noticed she was talking to a girl with short pink hair and jade eyes and another girl with blonde hair and teal eyes. I wanted nothing more than to listen to my music right now, and I forgot my iPod in my bag in my locker. I sat up and looked at my phone, seeing I had a missed text message.
Sis: 'Hey bro, just checking up on you.'
Gaara: 'I am fine... I really don't need a baby sitter...'
I replied to her and laid my head back down on my desk, waiting for that dreaded bell to ring to send me into my next period. I was actually looking forward to my music class, maybe it would be fun after all, and maybe my only release in this school to keep me calm. Relieved when the bell finally rang, I got up and walked to my locker, grabbing the things that I needed for math, notebook, pencil and iPod in my hands, I shut my locker door and turn to walk to my math class when I felt my locker against my back. I look at a guy with bright yellow hair and a pissed off look on his face. 'Here we go.'
"Leave Hinata alone. She is mine." Hearing him growl, I couldn't help but feel my lips turn into a wry smile as I chuckled dryly. I looked into his blue eyes and saw the anger boiling before he hit me, his fist connecting with my jaw as I just stood there, taking the hit. Feeling him let go of me, I wipe my mouth where blood had somewhat dripped out of the corner of my mouth. I stand straight from my locker and look into the other guy's face impassively. "Don't touch me again." I growl to him before walking away to math, putting my ear buds into my ears, turning my iPod on to hear Escapist by Nightwish. I got an idea as the chorus rang through the earbuds into my ears. 'I wonder if the band would want to try this song...' I stated as I walked into math class, seeing the opal eyed Hinata sitting at a desk. I talked to the teacher a little before taking a book and sitting down by Hinata, yet again. I looked at her, only to see her turn her head quickly and blush again. I felt the end of my mouth tug into a smirk. I turned my attention to the teacher once everyone else was in the class and the bell had rang. Hearing the assignment given, I opened my note book to start on the work when a peice of paper landed on my desk in the shape of a origami rose. I grabbed it and unfolded it to see beautiful writing.
*Hinata's PoV*
I watched Naruto stomp up to Gaara, grabbing him and slamming him against his locker after the bell had rang to go to second period. I sighed because I hated it when he did what he did. "Leave Hinata alone. She is mine." Naruto was sweet to me, and treated me right, but I was tired of the way he was so possessive over me like I was a peice of property. I heard Gaara chuckle dryly as I saw a smile on his face, almost like it was a sneer. I opened my mouth to tell him to let Gaara go but everything happened so fast when I heard his fist connect to Gaara's mouth. I stood there, shocked to what happened, and before I knew it, Naruto let go of Gaara and walked off and I watched Gaara wipe blood off of his lip, glaring after Naruto before he headed to his next class. I turned to Sakura and Ino and looked at them. Sakura looked at me and smiled softly, "Hinata... you need to do something about Naruto... he is getting out of hand." Ino piped in.
Ino was right, and I nodded numbly as I walked to my math class, my book in my hands and my thoughts in another world, mostly replaying what I just witnessed in the hallway between my boyfriend and Gaara. Gaara did nothing to him... which shocked me. I walked into math making my way to my seat. A few minuetes later, Gaara walked in and look directly at me, and I saw the pain in his eyes. I could tell what had happened was expected to him, but it still shouldn't have taken place. I turned my head away quickly as another blush made it's way to my face, making me feel like a child again. I vaguely heard the teacher tell Gaara to sit by me... again... as I kept my gaze on my book the entire time. Once everyone was in the classroom and the bell ring, signaling it was time to start class, the teacher began to teach the lesson. In the middle of the teaching, I wrote on a peice of paper 'Sorry for Naruto... He can get a bit possessive over me.'
I folded the paper into an origami rose, and waited to put it on his desk till after the teacher gave the assignment and sat down, paying attention to the computer instead of the class, like she should have been. Sitting it on his book softly, I started to work on the assignment, waiting his reply. Getting near halfway through the assignment, I felt the paper hit my hand softly, looking at Gaara before unfolding the paper to see what he wrote before I wrote back.
*Gaara's PoV*
'Sorry for Naruto... He can get a bit possessive over me.'
I glanced at Hinata and felt another pang in my heart. 'What is this...?'
'Haha it seems that you are a little Jealous?'
'Hn... I doubt that. Go away...'
I looked down at the paper and smirked slightly before writing back my reply.
'Don't worry about it.' Folding it back up, I tossed it gently on her desk before going back to my math. I got about halfway through the assignment before the paper landed on my desk again. I unfolded it and read her reply.
'Is your mouth alright...? I saw him hit you and you bleed.' I looked over at her and her opal eyes looked at me with a glimmer of kindness and I returned to the paper in my hand. 'I am fine. I am quite used to it to be honest with you. Thanks for caring...' I folded the paper back up and plopped it back on her desk before I got up due to the bell ringing for next period. Walking towards my locker, my phone in hand, I felt a tug on my hoodie and I turned around to see Hinata standing there. I looked at her and tilted my head as she grabbed my phone quickly and messed with it for a little bit, handing it back then smiling softly and handing it back to me. "I-I want to b-be f-friends." I smiled at her and nodded before turning and walking back towards my locker.
After that, the day seemed to fly by, and they were sitting in Music, Gaara thinking of the Raven haired girl who was the only friend he had in that retched school at that moment. Again the song that was playing on his iPod was bouncing around in his head as the teacher started to talk about different kinds of musical genres. She announced that there was going to be a karaoke event and it was half of their grade, which made all of the kids groan in protest. Gaara raised his hand and she called on him. "Does it have to be with the actual music, or can it be from a live band?" the teacher looked at him kind of shocked before she smiled softly. "As long as you are the one singing, then it doesn't matter." Gaara nodded and decided that he needed to get his band together again. The teacher continued to explain that the Karaoke was going to be held in the Gym in two weeks and that they had the time to get their songs picked and learned. Gaara pulled out his phone and scrolled through the contacts and selected a few, He shot them a text:
From: Gaara
To: Itachi, Hidan, Sasori, Deidara, Konan and Nagato
'Hey, I need you to meet me in the normal spot. I think I've got a new song for us, but I have to sing this one. It's for a grade.'
He put his phone up as he heard some of the other girls singing. They sounded pretty good, but he knew that he was going to blow them out of the water. Gaara heard a soft voice and turned his head and spotted Hinata. She was singing softly with the pinky and blondie. He put an earbud into my ear and flip it on as he started to listen to the way the singer was, he could sing the song with no problems. Gaara started to sing along with the music softly.
"When I was, a young boy, my father took me into the city
To see a marching band, he said son when you grow up
Will you be, the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned
He said, will you defeat them, you demons, and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made. Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom
To leave you in the summer, to join The Black Parade..."
Hinata looked at Gaara and was impressed, listening to his silky baritone voice made shivers run down her spine as she noticed everyone else had quieted and looked at him as well. Hinata wasn't for sure what song she was going to sing, but she knew that Sakura and Ino decided to do a duet. He was a very good singer, and Hinata smiled softly before Sakura and Ino turned back to her. "Hn.. Who knew the violent kid could sing." Sakura made a statement quietly. Hinata looked at her and her brows furrowed slightly. "I-I like h-his voice... a-and I do n-not t-think he i-is v-violent... Y-you saw what N-naruto did to h-him. I-I want to b-become his f-friend." Hinata stated as a clear as she could without studdering, somewhat upset with her friend. Hinata noticed he had stopped singing before she heard him administer a growl.
He looked around as everyone stared at him, somewhat astonished. Gaara growled at them and they all looked away from him. Getting up and grabbing his bag as the bell rang, he walked out to the parking lot and got on his bike, unhooking his helmet and putting it on his head. Starting his bike and reving the motor a couple of times taking off into the direction of the "normal" spot he met the band at. He walked up to the door and pounded on it, waiting for Kazuku to answer.
A/N: Well here is the first chapter of a new story I am going to try working on. Please read and review.
