'God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun
God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun
I can feel you falling away'

That evening, Temari took Hinata to the movies, they saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
As they left the theater, Temari slipped an arm around the shorter and pale girl's waist, pulling her closer just a little. The shorter girl blushed but didn't object, looking up at Temari who grinned down at her.

'This is... Nice,' Hinata thought as she looked up into Temari's blue-green eyes. She blushed an even brighter pink as Temari pulled her slightly closer as they walked by a group of guys.

Once they got back into Temari's car, she asked, "Where to for dinner?"

"Any where is good," Hinata smiled.

Temari nodded as she pulled out of the theater. She decided to take the younger girl to a Waffle House, the ride was only 10 minuets.

They got a booth and sat across from eachother. Temari ordered a double order of blueberry waffles with a chocolate milk to drink. Hinata ordered plain buttermilk waffles with chocolate milk to drink as well. They sat with Temari gazing at the blushing girl who merely looked at the table with a bright pink blush heating her cheeks.

"So care to tell me more about yourself?" Temari asked with a smile.

"Wh...what would you like t-to know?" Hinata asked, stuttering.

"Anything you want to tell. I'll share too, first if it would make you more comfortable," Temari said with a slight nod, her elbows up on the table and her hands folded under her chin.

Blushing still, Hinata nodded.

"Well my brother is Sabaku no Gaara, he's one of the most wealthy people in Japan. But he's our age, more like yours probably. As such, he shares his wealth and some of the responsibility with me and Kankuro, my other brother. I just decided to start going to college, partly to make Gaara happy, but also to try to find some purpose in my life," Temari said, pausing to think.

Hinata listened closely, leaning forward somewhat, her eyes intent on Temari's face.

"My life has basically been one big party. And I guess it was pretty great for a while..., but then I started to get bored. To see how empty my life was. No real friends, only Kankuro and Gaara to really rely on and trust. So I thought to try college. Money wouldn't be a problem and maybe I'd even make a few real friends."

Hinata nodded, understanding what she meant.

"That's really all there is to it," Temari finished with a slight shrug, looking over and thanking the server woman who brought their food.

They ate in silence for a few moments before Hinata began to recount her life.

"My father is Hiashi Hyuga, one of the richest and most powerful men in Asia, maybe even the world. I went to public school for a very few years before he put me in private school, which was mostly tutors."

She paused then, contemplating how to continue, what to reveal.
"For years, until I completed all the necessary years of schooling, school was my life. When atlast, I completed school, father had taught me much. In the end, I defied him. I used what he taught me against him. And so..., here I am." Her voice was even more quiet then usual, and she didn't look up at Temari.

If she had, she would have seen the shock and immediate care in Temari's eyes, the need to take the smaller girl in her arms and hold her. She could tell Hinata left out quite a bit, she gave nothing of the psychology of what had happened, but she could tell, by Hinata's voice alone, something had happened.

Unsure of what to say, Temari merely finished her food, thinking about what to do later that night.

- Back at their room -

The girls sat on their respective beds, both quiet.

Hinata turned her iPod on, earbuds in her ears and began to sketch the waffle house they had gone to.

Temari laid on her bed, arms folded behind her head. She was thinking about Hinata.
She liked the girl, considerably. Sure, she had been with Tenten, Sakura, Ino, and Kin, but they were all meaningless, except for Tenten..., but that was a few years ago. She was sure of Hinata, there was just something about the girl that drew her. She could tell Hinata would need a friend, and Temari would be that for her, she wanted more, yes, but she could wait as long as was needed, and if they never happened, at least she made a solid friend.

She looked over at the purple haired girl. Her eyes were intent upon her sketchpad.

To hug or not to hug, that was the question. Temari smiled slightly at her own joke.
She stared up at the ceiling, deciding to wait until Hinata put her sketch away.

Temari started to doze before Hinata put her sketch away. She blinked sleepily and looked over at the purple haired girl.
Allowing sleep to tinge her voice, Temari spoke, "Hey hina, come here?"

Hinata blushed faintly but stood, stretched, then walked over to Temari's bed.
The blond moved over slightly, opening her arms for the purple haired girl.
The other girl's blush intensified. "Wh...what a..are you w...wanting?"

"I was hoping to cuddle and snuggle with you. I was going to hug you earlier, but I figured you didn't really like overly public displays of affection."

Hinata blushed even brighter at that.

"I mean, you don't have to join me," Temari said quickly, shrugging slightly.

Hinata stood there awkwardly, thinking.
Moments passed before she finally sat beside the blond, hesitating before laying beside her, her back to her.

Temari slid her arms around the pale girl, gently pulling her close. At first, Hinata was tensed up, but gradually, she began to relax in Temari's embrace, slowly beginning to drift to sleep. Temari smiled as Hinata began to fall asleep, on the way to sleep herself.

'No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain'
