A/N: I'm soo sorry I didn't write any fanfics in a while. I got two of my teeth pulled out Wednesday and I've been in pain for four days. Anyway, enjoy this fanfic thingy.

"Well, I just wanted to say thank you for helping Gaara," Temari said.

"It was nothing. I know how he feels to be an outsider by people in the village I live in for years. I thought I was gonna be alone forever until I came to this village and met Gaara-kun and became friends with him," Hinata smiled.

"Yeah. But I don't think the village will think of him like that."

"I know," Hinata said, seeing Gaara swing higher on the swing laughing, "That's another reason why I don't want to go. But my month is almost over and I have not choice, but to leave."

"That's what I'm worried about, too," Temari sighed, "Once you leave, I don't kow how Gaara will act when you're not here making him laugh and feel like there's someone that loves and cares for him, like you."

Hinata knew what Temari meant as Gaara played in the sandbox. She didn't want Gaara to think that there's no one left in this village that loves him. That made Hinata and Temari nervous about that if the Hyuuga left him alone in the sand village.

Later that night, Hinata couldn't sleep because of what Temari said about Gaara who was sleeping soundly in bed.

Since Lord Kazekage didn't have enough money to buy another bed for Hinata to sleep in, her and Gaara had to sleep in the same bed who didn't mind. Hinata liked sleeping with someone, other than by herself, for a change.

"Gaara-kun. Are you awake?" Hinata wondered.

"I am now. What's up?"

"Well…you know in a few more days, I have to go back to the Leaf Village."

"….Yeah. I know. I don't want you to go back, but you have no choice, huh?"

"Yeah….." Hinata sighed, scooting herself closer to Gaara who lightly blushed at how close she was against his body, "I don't want to leave you here alone. If I leave, then we'll both be alone with no one to talk to."

"I know. I wish I could come with you when it's time for you to leave," Gaara said.

"Uh, Gaara-kun? What would you do if someone was picking on you if I wasn't there?"

"I would jus walk away because I know I finally have a friend that cares about my well being and knows how I feel when I was alone for years with no one to talk to."

"You wouldn't do anything to severely hurt someone while I'm gone, would you?"

"What? No, of course not. I'm not alone anymore, so I'll still be fine when you leave. I'll just miss you a lot is all." Gaara saw Hinata smile as she lightly wrapped her arms around his waist, laying her head against her chest.

"I'm glad. And I'm glad that I met you when I did," She said slowly closing her eyes.

"I'm glad I met you, too……Hinata-chan."
