Chapter 2

I remember you

The following morning the man stood in a kitchen with his family at the table, discussing the party last night.

"Hey where you bro, you went missing for like 10 minutes?" Asked a man sitting at the kitchen table. The man is wearing a black outfit consisting of a long top and trousers with a red sash around his waist. His short brown Hair wasn't covered. He smiled at his younger brother, showing off his white teeth with in the red paint on his face.

The red Hair man was feeling embarrassed he tried to go after a girl, a good-looking at best. "I was with a guy trying to asset….He felt sick"

"Why, Gaara?" A Woman asked carrying three plates of food. She looked elegant in her Kimono that was black and reached down to her legs. Her neck line reviled to show a little skin. A red sash tied around her waist complemented the black dress. Her sported fingerless black gloves where a set black on her look but she didn't care. Her forehead protector was covered by a bangs parted in the middle. Her Hair complemented her eyes. She looked totally white. Blonde Hair in for pony tails, her dark green eyes made her look white. The woman was not stupid but she knew how her younger brother was.

"He was left behind" Gaara simply answered.

"Okay" the older siblings said in sync. They both new their brother was laying.

Breakfast was somewhat, compatible…. No questions followed. It was quite at for the first time in years. At the kazekage tower, Gaara walked to his office. He saw his friend sitting in his chair. This made Gaara a little mad but didn't mind it.

The kazekage walked to the third floor and entered was happy to see his friend behind a desk. Even if he wasn't the hokage now...or should I say the 6th to be hokage.

"Hey Gaara" the blonde called from behind the desk.

"Naruto"

"We need to talk" Gaara closed the door behind him.

"What's up Gaara?"

Gaara knew what he was asking, just what they needed to talk about. "Naruto, I swear" he paused he knew he was going to sound crazy to his friend but he bit his tongue and he continued "I found the Woman, I couldn't take my eyes off hers"

Naruto was stunned to hear his friend talk that way. "Please, Gaara. How would you know what to be in love and found you special girl."

"I have heard my sister talk about love and how she felt when she fell in love with Nara, Shikamaru"

Naruto was bewildered that his friend understood what it means to be in love.

"At lunch time lunch time tomorrow, when I am in Konoha. I will find her" Gaara was stuck on finding his mystery woman.

"What's her name?" Naruto asked so it would be easier to find her.

This is where Gaara hit a bump on the road, he forgot to ask her name. "I don't know" he paused as he ran though the thoughts in his head "all I know is that she was with her mother, last night" he played back the night once more before opened his mouth again mouth "her mother's name was Kurenai"

"Gaara are you sure?" Naruto asked with a high pitch voice. He knew Kurenai had a son, her only child.

"Yes but the girl didn't look like her mother"

Then it hit Naruto. Kurenai treat one person as her child, because of her family. "You're looking for Hyūga, Hinata" he paused "Kurenai has a son her only biological child…but she treats her student Hinata, like her daughter and Hinata loves Kurenai like a mother too."

Mean while

There was a knock on the screen door "come in" the Woman said from behind the screen. The woman was dressed in a simple kimono. Like her dress it matched her red eyes. Long and black, shoulder-length was untamed Hair, she was gave the look simple, wild and sexy, all while still dress like a mother.

In came a Woman dark blue Hair was long to her lower back, but she had a hime-cut bangs style just little to lower to hide her eyes from view, strands of Hair framed her face. Her skin was unforgiveable she was a light peach color. Her eyes were hiding from view, but when she moved you could her eye color. Unique eyes like her mother are but different. Kurenai eyes are red and a ring around her pulp, but yet this young woman here eyes are white with a tint of lavender and had no recorded pulp. Her outfit was not womanly wrapping close to her body but instead she was always wherein a loose-fitting, long-sleeved, lavender and cream zip-up jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour with black pants, low-heeled sandals. A forehead protector was tied around her neck, its color material color is black. "Yes…Mother did you call"

Kurenai nodded and patted nest to her on the floor, the young lady sat next to her mother. "You know how much I love you, as a teacher and foster-mother." The young lady nodded. "But your father has requested that you live alone so you can have freedom before you become the leader of the clan. "She paused "Hinata, it's hard to be away from you….. You're like…your my child. But your father's wishes for you to live your life….. In another village so you can depend on yourself."

"But"

"No buts your father expects you back tonight, but tonight you're going to spend the night here until you finding a nice apartment in a different village." she knew she sounded hard. But she had no choice "your father has given me money, for you to get live without worries for some time." With one simple word Hinata stood up and walked to the door her hand slid the door. But before she closed the door behind her two simple words came out "thank you"

The next day around lunch time Hinata packed her back pack and her suit case with her cloths. "Thank you father "She hugged her father and gave him a good bye kiss on his cheek. "Good bye Neji."She also gave Neji a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She hugged her sister and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Never forget that I love you Hanabi" she smiled at her family. She was happy that once a month she gets to come back and give her father a report on how she is doing.

Meanwhile

"If your family figures out what I am doing for you they would kill me."

"Nothing will happen" Gaara was irritated that Naruto was paranoid.

"You should be leaving Konoha in a short while." Naruto commented

"I'm just going to visit the girl ad then you can walk me to the gates. Okay" Naruto was driving him crazy, he was annoyed that he keeps saying leaving, siblings, kill me blah, blah.

"I hope that it doesn't kill me in the hands of your siblings…. They hate to be late." Naruto was scared of his siblings.

Laughing was head from Gaara he looked at Naruto who was walking nest to him and gave him a smirk

"Yes really funny, Gaara" Naruto was happy his friend was smiling and laughing on occasions.

"Here is where she is living" Naruto said to Gaara

"It will be okay" Gaara's facial features faded, he paused as they stop by the house. "I'll be right back, don't move"

Gaara walked to the door and rang the door bell. He turned to smirk at Naruto he felt embarrassed

"They're going to get mad at you, Gaara" Naruto shouted

Naruto tone was uncalled for "hay bring it down a notch" Gaara he yelled back at Naruto. Gaara was out of place, he couldn't believe he was here, at her house.

A young lady opened the door and closed it behind her. She didn't notice the red Hair man next to her until she turned and almost walked into him. She pulled back. She looked at him. It was him the same man who she saw the night of the party. They looked at each other giving each other a small smile to each other.

"H-H-Hi" said the dark blue Hair.

"Hello" Gaara answered back.

"I-I S-saw y-you at t-the party"

"Yes, I saw you too" Gaara was loving her stutter but it was getting annoying. He looked down to see she had a suit case in her hands. "Are you going anywhere?" it was obese "We can walk you?"

"No" she stuttering left and she was strong of her answer. She knew that no was a bad answer. "N-no, I'm s-sorry, I-I don't walk with S- strangers" she paused and open her mouth once more. "My mother has taught me it's dangerous"

"Of course" Gaara understood will but was annoyed who didn't know him. "Look, don't worry, I am harmless"

"Hey Hinata!" a blonde Hair bye eyes called out at the young woman.

Hinata gave a smile to Naruto.

Gaara felt embarrassed that he bought Naruto with him "what's more, to be honest, I came looking for you" he paused "I don't know why" he paused once more trying to figure out why he came. So he wanted to be honest "but you caught my eye at the party"

Hinata didn't know what to say at his reason for looking for her.

"I'd like to get to know you, if you let me" Gaara added on his last sentence. "Will you let me?"

Hinata didn't want to tell him no once more she skipped his question. "The place I'm headed is very near" she paused she knew she sounded rude but she answered his earlier question "I rather walk alone"

"Then we'll both walk, I'll walk with you?" he picked up her suit case, at the same time she touched the suit case.

"My I?" Hinata answered to her hand touching his.

"My I?" Gaara wanted to be a gentleman and carry her bag for her. Hinata let go of the suit case because she know when a man tried helping she should let him.

They began to walk in silence. Hinata walked beside the man and behind them was Naruto. Once Hinata saw the house she would be staying in she pointed it out "T-thanks f-for ca-carrying m-my bag" she tried to take the bag from the man.

"It's fine, really, I'll take it" he held the suit case close to him. He wanted to sway her like his brother did to Woman. He quickly remembered the last time his brother carried something for a woman "A girl like you deserves every attention from a guy like me." he paused and remembered another conversation of his brother. "There's something you should know." he paused to make it dramatic "you should know I'm won't stop seeing you"".

Hinata felt a blush coming but she held it in "W-well, I've never h-hung around with a-any guys then m-my s-squad." She paused "I'd need to ask"

"Okay, ask." he answered quickly. "But before cam you tell me your name?"

"Hai" she looked at her feet. "Hinata Hyūga" she paused. "I-It means s-sunny place o-or I-in the s-sun and m-my last name I-is my clan n-name meaning t-towards the s-sun" the she asked his name "A-and y-your name I-is?" Her strutting worsened.

"Gaara of the desert, and you all ready know Naruto"

"Hinata "said a Woman from the yard.

Hinata looked back to see it was her mother "I-I've g-got to g-go, t-thanks a l-lot" she took he bag from Gaara.

"Hinata, I am going to be here for today, I will come back in a week. I'm going to different country."

"Are you going with your family?" Hinata question the Stranger in front of her.

"No" he paused "well, no, it's a business trip and I have Baki with me." Gaara gave a smile.

"B-bye" Hinata turned around and walked into the house. She always loved it her. Because she had a brother that loved her more than she sister, he didn't talk back or anything else. Her mother paid attention to her. Once she put her stuff down she left for Suna searching for an apartment to rent. Her trip wasn't long since she used a scroll. She loved one piratical apartment. She gave the owner the 1st month rent and the deposit. Once she returned to her mother's house she slept the night.
