They already walked for several hours in the forest, it seems without end. All green and more green, singing birds and the crackle of wood.
"Yet another diplomatic trip without interest, more time lost."
"Gaara?"
"What is it? "
"Matsuri Chan asked you a question. You could pay some more attention, don't you think?"
Turning to the young kunoichi, he noticed that she finally smiled generously, eyes bright. "Kazekage Sama. Want some water? "
"No. "
The face of the girl fades under his eyes. He pays no attention.
He walks, without thinking, mechanically and then suddenly, He can no longer focus on something else.
"Blood?
So much blood. It is very close. "
"Temari, Matsuri, be careful. "
The two young women tense, immediately on their guard. "What happens Gaara?"
"Blood, a lot of. It is very close, just a few miles away."
Instinctively he followed the smell, even without the devil in him, he always felt like excited at the smell of blood. It was as a call.
The small group walks, guided by Gaara. Finally they arrived at a small clearing strewn with bodies. The grass is red, and this time, even Temari and Matsuri can feel the smell of death hangs in the air.
At a crack deaf everyone turn with hurry. Gaara spoke first. "Who is there? Show yourself. "
A shadow behind the tree trunk. Gaara approaches. Followed closely by his travel companions. A man, his face fell to the ground, he holds his shoulder, and blood is flowing on his hand.
Then Temari exclaims. "Kiba Kun! Oh my god… What has happened? "
Already she kneels before him, he is barely conscious. "Temari Chan…" His voice is weak, barely a whisper.
Matsuri kneels in turn and the two women begin to heal the wounds visible. Gaara stands before them, an air impassive engraved on the face and yet the situation surprises him and he wondered. "What has happened here?"
After some first aid Kiba comes back to consciousness and not easily explained. "We…… because we have been attacked… They are after Hinata Chan… Shino… and I have tried to stop them…… they were so many…"
"Where are the other members of your team Kiba San? "The voice of Gaara is rude and cold.
"I put… Shino to shelter a little earlier… he was injured and I had to continue to fight…"
"Where is the girl? "
Kiba's eyes are closed, he seeks his words. "Hina… Hinata Chan… is gone to the east…… she wanted to take them… away from us when… Shino was injured…"
Gaara frowns. "They left a woman risking her life to save them…"
"What courage, let the battle to a kunoichi…" Gaara is not known for his tact.
"Gaara." Exclaims Temari outrage, she launches angry looks to his younger brother.
Kiba closes his eyes still stronger then when he opens again, his gaze is dark and expressed anger that his forces allow. "We have never… asked Hinata…to sacrifice for us…… we were unable to stop her…"
The conversation bored him already. "Temari, Matsuri, bring Kiba and take Shino with you. You go to Konoha, I will seek the Hyuuga. "
Matsuri turns sharply. "No Kazekage Sama, it is too dangerous, I come with you. "
Gaara shakes his head from left to right, visibly annoyed by his comment. "Temari can not drag two shinobis alone. Go with her. "
"But Kaze…"
Gaara interrupts immediately, his face almost expresses irritation. "Matsuri, Enough is enough, you'll bother me more than anything else if you come. "
Matsuri head down to the ground, like wounded. "Alright Kazekage Sama. "
Temari helps Kiba by supporting him on her shoulder. Matsuri beside her. She takes a last glance at Gaara away without further ceremony, heading to the east. He follows the smell of blood; more blood if that is possible.
He does not feel anymore the chakra of his sister and Matsuri for over half an hour. He always walks in the forest, sand flowing slowly from his gourd and snaking aside him, ready to ward off any attack. But he does only meet new lifeless body, the smell of blood so strong this is almost suffocating. He approaches a river when he hears a dog barking.
"Probably Kiba's dog… it has traced the Hyuuga."
He walks carefully, and finally he sees the huge dog and a frail figure at his side. She is crouched on the ground, head down, long humid haired glued to her face.
"Hyuuga Hinata?"
She does not react but Akamaru positions itself instantly before her, it shows the teeth.
"I am Gaara, you remember me I suppose. We found your team mates. "
She still does not move. Gaara then addressed the dog. "If you understand what I say then you'll return to your village, you will find your master there. Tell him I found the girl and I returned to Konoha. Go, you will be faster than us. "
Akamaru hesitates, it looks to the fragile little body behind him.
"I would do her no harm. You have my word. I'll take her back. "
Akamaru finally turns to Hinata and rubbed his nose against the young kunoichi, when it finally departs, Gaara remark that his clear fur is stained with blood.
"Are you injured? "
Hinata is not responding. He slowly approaches her. Plus he approaches the more he sent the smell of fresh blood. Finally he grabs her shoulders and helps her to get up. The long hair wisps slip off of her forehead, leaving large red marks on her pale skin. He observes, she has her eyes closed and her hand firmly holds her jacket at her belly.
"You're hurt, let me see, I can treat you a little."
In a sure gesture he spreads her arms and began to open her jacket but the eyes of the young Hyuuga suddenly open, wide vein in her temples and she pushes him harshly.
"NO! Do not touch me. "
She trembles, her legs barely support her but she stand in a position to attack.
Gaara approached her again. "I do not want to harm you, I just want to help you…"
She strikes and Gaara immediately felt a violent pain in his arm. He loses patience. He is rapidly aside her and blocks her unsuccessful attacks. She debate, she seems at loss of strength but she does not abandon. Gaara grasps her wrists and forcefully pushed her to the ground, lengthening her on the grass.
She is struggling again and his voice sounds. "Do not be ridiculous, I'm Gaara, Kazekage of the sand village, you have seen me before. I am a friend of Naruto… "
Hinata calms down gradually while he repeats his words. "I'll help you, trust me…"
Gaara finally feel the tension in her small body evaporate, she lost consciousness. He relentlessly let go of her wrists and kneels aside her. Now he observes with more attention, he noticed small needles planted across her clothes torn in half and soaked with blood.
He removes her clothes. Her jacket first and then he realizes that blood flows in abundance from her shirt. Using a kunai he tears the fabric and discovers the fine and delicate skin below. Her skin is pale and covered with bruises and small wounds. A large gash on her belly stretches, the blood flows abundantly.
Gaara frees himself of his gourd and approach his hands on the wound, a flood of chakra forms from his hands to her belly but without success, the cut is too great, he barely manages to stop the bleeding. He uses the debris of her shirt to mop up a little red blood on her skin which obstructs his view.
Gradually, the blood flows almost no more but the wound is still wide open. Gaara has low medical knowledge and her injuries require more care.
Hinata slowly opens her eyes. He observes; the breath a little short of the efforts he has provided. She shudders and he looks. He sees the thrill running on her body.
"Do you have other injuries? "
She nods. He follows her gaze and noticed the fabric of her pants burned in the inside of her right thigh.
Without hesitation he unravels the cord on her size that holds the pants and tries to lower on her hips when she began to scream in pain. He stopped immediately. The fabric must have melted the fragile flesh. With his kunai he tears frankly the material, the faster he can he tears each piece. At each of his acts, Hinata shake in pain and screams escape her throat.
With her small fists,
she tried to stop him. "No… I beg you… it hurt …" Her
voice is so low and yet he only hears her voice.
Her
pleas and cries pierce his whole being.
"Why am I doing it… she will not survive anyway…"
But he continues, and finally Hinata stop screaming, her whole body trembles. Gaara stop once the tissue is entirely removed from her skin. He contemplates the delicate curves that are available to his view for a moment while she stands there, lying half-naked in the grass of the clearing. The bandage on her chest is stained with a carmine red. Long trails of blood more or less dried dirty also her pale skin.
He can see the burn which extends over the inside of her thigh. Nothing too serious and he can certainly heal it, but the blood is flowing again from the wound on her belly. She reopens her injury in debating. Quickly he withdrew his own shirt and torn it into long strips. He then begins encircling her size to stop the blood.
Hinata screams again when he moves her to pass the improvised bandage under her back. With her small hands she strikes without force his torso and let numerous bloody marks of her hands on him. Gaara did not lend attention, he focuses on his task and soon the wound is covered and blood content.
He is recovering then, the hands of Hinata slid along his chest. He then looks for the first time in her eyes, begging her pardon.
"I must take care of your burning now. "His voice does not betray.
His aquamarine eyes no longer able to leave the ivory of hers. She concurred with a nod and two tears of blood flow down her cheeks.
Gaara with the back of his hand, take them away. "I'll bring you back"
Hinata diverts her eyes, she focuses on the sand that waves all around them, ready to form a shield in case of attack. Her mind is confused and pain numbs her senses. Nevertheless she manages a frail smile.
Gaara instantly understands that she is ready, he guides his hand to the fragile skin of her legs and his chakra covers the burn. His fingers touch her skin. Hinata does not scream, she shakes the teeth and her eyes close at times but she does not scream.
Soon only a slight scar on her thigh can be seen. Gaara contemplates and without knowing why he delicately touches, drawing its outline with the tip of his fingers.
The slight tremor of Hinata interrupts.
"I'll bring you to Konoha, you need to care for the gash on your belly, I can not do better…"
He does not even wait her response to it and he raise her in his arms. She moans softly. He tightens his grip and Hinata rests her head against his chest.
His gourd crack into fine grains of sand and surround them. He walks, gaze fixed ahead of him, the little body frail and fragile in his arms.
After several hours walking, Gaara back off against a tree trunk, he looks briefly at Hinata which seems asleep in his arms. Slowly he bends down and then sits against the trunk. He needs rest. The medical techniques have asked more efforts then he previously thought.
He closes his eyes for a moment and then sent a soft and warm hand caressing his cheek, he would like to let this sensation sink in, but suddenly he realizes the heat is too intense, he opens his eyes and plunges his gaze on the Hyuuga's one in his arms.
Her hand was raised entirely on his cheek, her skin is hot, too hot, and her whole body is burning. She has a fever.
Barely has she spoken. "I would not make it… you don't have to do it… thank you for trying…"
She smiles slightly and then closes her eyes.
Gaara swallow his saliva. "Open your eyes" His voice is cold and severe. He ordered again. "I said open your eyes."
Hinata blinks eyes several times finally opening the eyelids in what appears to be a painful effort. She looks at him. His face is serious.
"I take the decisions here and I will not let you let go. You do not die. I forbid you to… Is that understood? "
Hinata smiled weakly and then acquiesce in a movement barely visible.
Immediately, Gaara is recovering and resumed his journey, he takes closer the small feverish body against him.
After two hours of extra walking, he finally enters Konoha.
