Hinata POV

The starry night blinked above and the wind sung with unshared secrets. Hinata could hear her harsh breath as she struck the training dummy. Low on chakra, she sat down and took a sip of her water. 'I wonder if he liked the cinnamon buns.' Hinata smiled as she thought of Gaara having sticky cinnamon all over his face. Looking at the moon she let the breeze brush over her still form. Hinata felt her cousin's chakra before she saw him.

"Hinata-san, you have been training long enough. If you stay out any longer you could catch a cold." Neji carefully shielded his concern. Hinata gave him a smile.

"O-okay." She shivered. It had been colder than she realized. Neji shrugged and headed for the Hyuuga Compound, leaving her to follow. Hinata gave one last glance to the moon before trailing after her cousin. 'Are you looking at the same moon I am, Gaara?'

Hinata sighed as she caught sight of her home. Walking into the house, she heard Neji's bedroom door close. She went up the stairs and slid into her room. The pale white walls mocked her and gave the room an unwelcoming feel. Barely anything but the essentials were in her room. Hinata opened her dresser and pulled out a long purple nightgown. Slowly, she took off her sweaty training clothes and decided to take a shower tomorrow. She pulled the nightgown on and headed to her bed but her eye caught something at her window. Confused, she walked over. Sitting on the window was a single glass rose holding onto a note. Her new one. The one she had just given Gaara this day. Hinata opened the letter, ignoring her own writing, she sought Gaara's. Her eyes opened slightly in surprise at what it read: I have everything to thank you for. Hinata poked her head out and looked around. No one was out but there was a small pool of sand on the outer window sill. 'Gaara, came here himself.' Hinata closed the window. Picking up the rose, she let a smile form on her face. 'I guess this means I have to give him something in return. Gaara, if this is what you wish to play, then let the games begin.' Hinata didn't know she had repeated the same thought Gaara had. She placed the rose on her dresser and silently padded her way to her sisters room when she heard a sob. Hinata stared sadly down at Hanabi, who was tossing and turning in nightmares. She sat down on Hanabi's bed and ran her fingers through her hair, singing.

I'm always here for you

Know this it true

Whether you be sleeping

You're secrets I'm keeping

I love you so much

But I know better than to touch

I know you don't love me

That I can plainly see

It doesn't stop me from loving you

Watching silently as you grew

Into the beautiful child I see

But you don't see me

Your silent shadow I am

The girl that's a sham

I am here so hush little one

Waking can wait for the sun.

Hinata got up when Hanabi stopped moving and laid peacefully. She went back to her room and crawled into her covers. Darkness took her in.

Gaara POV

Gaara waited until Temari had left with the one kid, Shikamaru he heard her call him, and Kankuro left with some woman he hadn't seen before. He set of, already determining his destination. Gaara found who he'd been looking for.

"Hatake-san." Gaara looked into his one, uncovered, eye. Kakashi looked up from his book in question.

"Kazekage-sama, what a surprise." Kakashi's expression contradicted his revelation.

"I need your assistance in something." Kakashi looked intrigued. Gaara didn't continue.

"What is it that you need my help with?" Kakashi glanced at the young man.

"I need you to perform a Katon(fire) jutsu." Gaara said shortly. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"Whatever for, Kazekage-sama?" Kakashi shook his head when all he received was a grunt. Gaara led them to a small training ground. "So…" Kakashi was cut of when a pool of sand appeared in front of him, shaping itself into a rose.

"Make it glass." Gaara stared at the man, silently daring him to disobey. Kakashi just smiled.

"A woman catch your eye, Kazekage-sama. Well, who's the lucky woman?" Kakashi asked, interested. Gaara's stare became a glare.

"Glass. Now." Kakashi raised both hands in submission. Signing, he let loose a low-leveled katon jutsu, just hot enough to turn Gaara's sand to glass.

"There you go! I'm sure who ever gets…" Kakashi looked around before realizing he'd been ditched. Shrugging, he pulled out his book. 'Now, where was I.'

Gaara appeared at the Hyuuga Compound. His senses still heightened, not mattering to the fact his demon had been removed. He found her lavender-vanilla sent and followed it to her room. He placed the rose on the inside of her window sill, jumped onto a tree and waited. Patiently.

Gaara's eyes snapped to Hinata the minute he sensed her chakra. He put a hand to his eye and created his Third Eye, and watched through that instead. He noticed her clothing and her breathing and deduced that she'd been training. Gaara silently watched the room and he was rewarded when Hinata silently slid into the room. He watched as she slowly started to change and his heartbeat began to pump faster. He watched as the moon shed light onto her figure. His grip on the branch tightened. 'Is this what a Naruto was trying to explain.' Gaara was confused. His eye followed her out of the room, his hearing caught her singing and he was transfixed. He wanted her to sing to him. 'What is this feeling?' Gaara grabbed his head lightly. He sat there all night and watched her, wanting to understand but not being able to.
