A/N: Do a little dance... make a little love... get down tonight! I don't really have anything else to say.
Disclaimer-We've already gone through this rite?... fine... (sigh) I don't own Naruto, there I said it.
My stalker... I think
Ch.3 I'm waiting
(Time skip)
He stares at me as I fall to my death, I cry for him… surely watching the one you love die is very painful. Even more so than death itself… though death can be just as painful, fading away into a non-existent world filled with black holes.
For a moment I reach out to caress away one lone tear fleeting from the edge of his beautiful turquoise eye. His eye's widen, startling me before I can reach his face. I cower my arm sharply away from his touch, but he snatches my arm so I can't retreat. Holding me closely against his warm chest as he embraces my soul and whispers loving words in my ear. His sweet breath tickling the hem of my earlobe and running cold chills down my already icy back, through to the bones of my spine.
His words call to me in the darkness... "You don't have to suffer any longer, I'm here and I will never let you go again."
But the warm feeling fades away all too sudden...
I wake up to the sound of birds chirping and the warm breeze of fresh air, plus the sun shining brightly through my dark shaded window.
I stretch as much as my muscles allow me, granted I just worked overtime at the cafe and took on two extra shifts last night. I really don't understand why I'm so nice when it comes to work; as I move uncomfortably out of my bed and toward the half open window, I notice it's a little too sunny outside to still be winter so I'm guessing it's spring now.
I pull the curtains open to get a better look outside, and it looks exactly as I thought it would; the snow turned into water on the street; children are playing on the sidewalk; and there are people rinsing off their cars with smiles on their faces. Wow... everyone seems so cheery today, maybe it's just the sun.
I know that just seeing all of this happiness and beautiful weather should light up my day, but... it actually makes me feel even worse than how I felt before.
Once again I fixate my gaze across the street where... his car used to be. Of course it's no longer there, he's gone... "And I hope it's for good."
"plip" the sound echo's through my room; I look down, and there sits a single droplet of salty water in between my feet.
"Damn you... Gaara," no matter how hard I try, I can't stop crying... or wishing he were here to hold and cradle me the way he did that night. I sigh, looking out the window again, "Sometimes life can be so unfair."
I slowly close the window and walk over to the bathroom after I grab a few clothes from my closet and dresser.
Taking a warm bath proves to be helpful as it relaxes my muscles and calms my nerves. I reach my hand to the back of my neck and rub gently on the few knots that I feel.
"I can't believe how tense I am, all those shifts I asked for really did a number on me."
As I step out of the bathtub, I dry myself off and put on my clothes, then head down the stairs. I turn off the stairs to head to the kitchen when the doorbell disturbingly sounds through out the house. I rush to the door and pull it open.
Turquoise eye's... red hair... pale skin.
"Hi," he whispers in a smooth husky voice.
"Hi," I respond.
It feels like we've been standing here now for hours, but I know it's only been about a minute. I slowly creek the door open, "You can come in."
He hesitantly walks inside and heads straight to the living room, as I close the door I finally realize how fast my heart is beating... and I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my body. I know I want to do something, but my mind is still registering the fact that after all this time... he shows up at my front door... and greets me with a simple hi.
Snapping out of my thoughts I quickly walk to the living room and see him sitting down on the sofa.
"Would you like some coffee?" I hate it when he stares at me like that; his eye's are piercing into my own.
"No thank you," he replies after a moment.
"Why did you leave?" I just can't take it anymore, it's been driving me crazy not knowing where he's been all this time... and why he left without a word.
"Business," he moves his gaze from my face and stares out of an open window, it seems as though his eye's have darkened.
"What kind of business?" I walk around the small table to sit across from him, obviously trying to get him to talk.
"Very important business."
"Will you tell me?"
"No," he glances at me for a second and I can see a flicker of something unreadable in those hypnotizing eye's of his.
I scowl at him then press my lips together in a straight line, "Why?"
"Because it does not concern you," He starts to glare but quickly changes his facial expression back to it's emotionless stare. But I can see that I'm starting to irritate him. I bite my lip and try to hold back the water forming in my eye's; I will not allow myself to cry, not now, and especially not in front of him.
"How dare you...," I begin to whisper; of course now I'm at the point of no return, "One month... for one month I've been kept in the dark about your whereabouts! I've been worried sick about you, crying my eye's out every night because I thought you might have been dead. Stressing that I would never see you again... just like Neji! I was so afraid that I would have to relive that nightmare; but then you show up on my doorstep and say hi like nothing happened! And you have the nerve to say it does not concern me, when you know damn well that it does!" By this time I'm on both of my feat shaking with rage and ready to cry, but I decide to take deep breaths to calm myself down.
"If you don't want me to ask anymore questions then that's fine, but at least tell me why you were gone for so long," I stare pleading into his surprised eye's waiting for an answer.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."
A blank expression covers my face and I drop my arms to my side, "Of course you can't...; well at least do me the favor of staying here tonight."
"I... ca-," I cut him off, because I already know what he's going to say.
"Can't, right?"
He nods his head.
"That's fine... but don't bother coming back," I try to speed walk out of the room but I feel a strong hand around my wrist, pulling me back. Then the next thing I know I'm being hugged from behind.
"Please Gaara, just leave me alone... and get out," he lets go and brushes past me turning into the hallway.
I don't even bother looking up as I can here the faint sound of the font door shutting closed.
I get out of my bed at what looks to be 4:30 in the morning to turn the heater on; as I open my bedroom door I immediately hear light footsteps coming up the stairs. Since no one I know has a key to my house other than me myself and I, I guess I'm left to assume this is a burglary.
`I thought you would be in serious danger after I died, so I hired someone to look after you.`
Oh my god... I'm in deep shit aren't I? And Gaara's not even here.
Thinking quickly on my feet I close the door without making a sound, then creep toward my window and peek out... but to my dismay I can't see that beautiful familiar car I now find myself missing so dearly.
Why the hell does this have to happen right when I exiled him from my house?
After snapping out of my stupor I realize that the unwanted guest is checking every room for what I assume to be me. So I assume I have a good three minutes to get everything I need and leave.
I rush to my closet and grab the duffel bag I have hidden under the floor board; ever since I was fourteen Neji made me keep an emergency bag in my room somewhere no one else knew about.
I search through it with speed I never knew I had, then something shiny catches my eye... I pull it out and stare at it for a while.
Yeah, I don't remember ever putting a gun in here.
Suddenly I hear the bedroom next to mine being torn to pieces and I stick the gun back in the bag zipping it up and grab a coat. After I slip on some tennis shoes I swing the bag over my shoulder and begin to slip out of the window.
Since there are really thick vines running down the side of my house and conveniently right next to my window, it's pretty easy to climb down without slipping.
As soon as I reach the ground I duck behind a bush and look around my surroundings hastily, then I hear voices from inside of the house so I tune in to the conversation.
"Take your men and search the perimeter, she couldn't have gotten too far," a smooth and confident voice echoes throughout my... trashed living room! I just reorganized the place! I probably shouldn't have looked through the window.
"Right away boss."
Putting aside my rage and anger, I pull out the... glock 18c? It even has a silencer on it... cool. I search the bag more trying to see if I have bullets, and sure enough I do.
I see two guys walking around the house, supposedly searching for me; one of them walks closer toward the bush I'm hiding behind and I aim the gun at his head. But he turns around and walks the other way.
Then all of a sudden I see someone launch at me from the corner of my eye, and with my fast reflexes I turn just in time to shoot the guy in mid air. As he lay on the ground, I can't help but feel responsible for his death... well I guess my shooting him had something to do with it, but he surprised me so it wasn't really my fault.
He stirs a bit on the ground and moans in pain; feeling relieved I didn't kill him, I'm soon on my feet in an instant ready to run. But what comes with that is two huge arms wrapped around my torso, so obviously running is out of the question now.
"Let go of me you big baboon!" I kick him as hard as I can, but from the weird angle he's holding me it barely affects the guy.
"Hey boss, I found her," a man with short white hair, a jet black suit and glasses comes out of my house and crosses his arms over his chest.
"So it seems, put her in the car," the guy with the glasses walks toward a black SUV and slides in the back seat.
While the big guy is carrying me I continue to kick and scream, that is until something hard comes into contact with my stomach.
"Wake up princess," I feel shaking on my shoulder, and I struggle to see the blurry figure in front of me, but as my vision progresses I find myself feeling very terrified and wishing I were still knocked out.
The man I'm staring at is really starting to creep me out, his eye's are so... soulless, and filled with humor.
"That's a good girl," I cringe as he smiles at me, it's like a perverts smile.
"What do you want," I ask, determined to get an answer.
"Straight to the point hm? I like this girl," he stands up all the way from his bending position and smirks.
I look around the small room I'm sitting in the middle of, and there's only three other men in here, including the guy with the glasses.
"Well little Hyuuga Hinata, will you do me the favor of answering a few question?"
"Will you let me go if I do?"
"Ah ah ah, questions first little Hyuuga... then we'll figure out your fate."
I glare menacingly at him as I think it over.
"...Fine."
"Splendid," he clasps his hands together, "Now, we have reason to believe that you know where your precious big brother's hideout is located."
"Neji?"
"Yes, Neji."
"He's dead."
The man begins to chuckle as he paces back and forth in front of me.
"What's so damn funny?" I yell at him.
"To think... the honorable Hyuuga Neji would fake his own death... and let his dear little sister suffer."
"What... but Neji had a... brain... tumor."
"He had and has no such thing," he stops laughing and pacing to look at me with a serious face.
"No... no! I don't believe you, my brother would never do that to me!" I try to get up, but I notice I'm binned to a chair.
"Or would he?"
I lean forward, "He. Wouldn't."
"Oh but my dear, it seems he already has," he takes a step back just when the guy with the glasses whispers in his ear.
"Well, I have some business to attend to, so I'll just leave you to your thoughts," then as he left the room, the other men followed.
It can't be true, Neji wouldn't betray me, nor would he fake his own death.
"Would you Neji?"
I leave you with a cliffy!
Again, I'm truly sorry for keeping you guys waiting for so long, but I hope this chapter made up for it a little.
