Yeah! I got my very first reviews. I can't tell you how happy I am. I can't tell you how proud I am. So thanks for the compliments and here we go with chapter two!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, so please don't sue me, because I'm broke.

Gaara sat outside of the room that he was now sharing with his siblings. The other two had long since gone to sleep. He had stayed there on the roof waiting patiently for his time and now it had come. He leapt from rooftop to rooftop. He knew his route by heart. It had been a week after the first time he had seen Hinata on the hill top. Since then he had traveled to the Hyuuga main house every night. He stopped short of his destination, looking into her room. The room of the creature that now controlled his every thought. She moved to the window and soundlessly crept onto the balcony. He watched her intently knowing exactly what she would do. She would climb down the wall and walk to the park. She had done this every night, never realizing that someone was watching her. He looked on patiently as she climbed down more then ready to follow.

Hinata landed on the ground softly. She was more then ready to get out of the house. It seemed like every day it was getting harder and harder not to break down. Her family still saw her as a failure and they probably always would. She started to walk, stopping upon arrival at the little park near the compound. She laid back, head towards the heavens, truly happy to be utterly alone. Suddenly something stirred in the bushes around her. She was snapped back into reality as someone lifted her by her hair into the air. She tried to let out a scream but was silenced by a tremendous smack. Three sound ninja stood around her, one with a sickening grin on his face.

"Well, look what we found a little lost angel. I'm sure her father would love to have her back. Don't you think so, darling?"

Hinata fought back tears and tried her hardest to talk, but she couldn't form the words. She closed her eyes and had what she was sure were her last thoughts.

'I'm going to die.'

She felt a hard wind pass over her. Then there were two deafening thuds. She opened her eyes to see Gaara standing with his back to her. He held up one of the ninja practically growling at him. Hinata watched trembling slightly.

Gaara had watched Hinata enter the park. He had been content to watch her looking up to the stars, wondering what it would be like to lay beside her, but from nowhere the sand ninja had showed up. It infuriated him to see even one of them lay a hand on her. Before he could think he reacted. He had instantly killed two of them, but now he held the third. The one that had dare touch his Hinata. His eyes glowed with hate ready to rip out the bastard's throat out, but then he heard her. As soft as a dove, she stood behind him a hand on his shoulder.

Hinata could tell that the other two were dead, and knew that if she didn't work quickly it was possible that he would kill the third. She had heard about what he could do, and part of her was frightened, but she couldn't help herself. She couldn't watch him kill someone right in front of her.

"Stop. Please...stop."

That was all she could manage. They stood like statues in the night air. After what seemed like forever he dropped the ninja to the ground. Quietly, but with enough menace to let him know that he should take it to heart, he spoke to the sniveling coward at his feet.

"Go now! If I see another sound ninja anywhere near her, I'll bath your village in blood."

He kicked him hard in the side, and watched as he to scramble to his feet. Then the would-be kidnapper disappeared, leaving the two together.

Gaara remained with his back to her, unable to even imagine the look of utter terror that would be on her face. He leapt away into the trees. He was ready to leave her behind to retreat to the land of the sand, no matter what his father said. He was ready to leave Kohana forever, until he heard it. Seemingly carried to him on the wind, she had said something that told him that he may still have her. Only two words were said, they were all that were needed.

"Thank you."

Again I've got to thank everyone reading this. I'm still new to this, but I'll keep updating as soon as I can. Also I'll try and learn how to put reviews into my story heads. I'll write more. I promise!
