Hi there, long time no see, I told you this one would be out sooner, not as soon as I wanted it to be but it was out sooner. I'm sorry I do want them to be longer, but school started again so I have that, homework, chores, and planning for my cousins party along with this, so it's hard to update soon and make longer chapters. Sorry.
Disclaimer: Again I tell you I own absolutely nothing, nada, zip.

Chapter Four: Help From The Enemy
Hinata sits there a long time, holding in the many tears she wishes to let free. Why me? She mourns watching the sun disappear behind the trees that surround the village hidden in the leaves. She stands her legs feeling weak, but it doesn't stop her, she just wants to go, not knowing where, just to go somewhere.

Gaara sits cross-legged, eyes closed, his blood feels as if boiling, but he has a calm exterior, as always imotionless to the outside world. He can't stop seeing the mutt with his Hinata, the flea bag all over her.
"Hey Hinata!" Gaara's eyes open at the name, he looks around for where the voice came from. His eyes stop at Naruto, he sees Hinata only a few feet ahead of him, frozen it seems. Without warning Hinata runs away leaving a confused Naruto behind. Good girl, Gaara thinks to himself. "Hey Gaara!" Naruto starts running towards him, Gaara stands, ready to face the agrivation Naruto is to bring. "Is there something wrong with me?" Naruto asks, pointing to his face idioticly, Gaara shrugs, uncaringly, walking away, but Naruto doesn't get the picture and follows him. "I don't see why Kiba likes her, I feel kind of bad for the guy," Naruto rants, this peeks Gaara's interest though.
"Why?" Naruto looks at Gaara not sure he really heard the question, but he decides to continue anyways, he loves to talk.
"Because she's a Hyuuga, they'll never have anything together, if Hinata even knew Kiba liked her," Naruto pauses to take a breath, "the Hyuuga's will disown her if he even touched her, I bet if he ever gave her a hug her father would get rid of her, he's such a jerk, so you have to feel bad for Hinata, no matter how wierd she is."
-
Hinata stands somewhere she never thought she would, a door with her enemy just on the other side. She was standing here for a while now, gathering her courage, just to knock, I want back down, he has to help me!
Knock. Knock. Knock. The silence is broken, she waits for a reply, but none comes. She lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding in, and turns around, her eyes downcast. She jumps at the noice of the door being thrown open.
"What?" The cold voice of her older cousin demands. Hinata quickly turns and bows to Neji, half of her glad he's there, the other half wishing he'd stayed in his room.
"I-I need your h-help," Hinata says as bravely as she can, straitening her back, and forcing herself to look the other in the eyes. Neji waits for her to continue, " please help me train harder." Her heart drops when Neji turns his back on her, her last hope gone, she couldn't tell anyone, if she told the Hokage he would tell her father, making her an even bigger disgrace. She starts to walk away, her eyes again down at the floor.
"Meet me at the training grounds in an hour," she freezes at the order, her hopes rising, he's gonna help me!
"Thank you so much!" She blurts out, facing her cousin, who still has his back torwards her. "I'm in your debt," she adds on quietly before almost running away to her room.
-
Neji closes his door, his mind working over time, he doesn't know why he agreed to helping his younger cousin. Of cource, it has been three years and his grudge against Hinata has been long over, but he still sees the fifteen year old girl as a weakling unfit for the main house, maybe that's why he decided to help. Neji shakes the thoughts out of his head and gets back to his book, still having plenty of time.
-
Hinata finds herself at the training grounds a little earlier than told, a water bottle in her hand, she plans on this being a long night, especially since it's Neji training her, she knows it's gonna be painful, but whatever it takes to keep Gaara away.
"You're early," Hinata jumps at his sudden words. She turns around to see Neji walking towards her, his expression as always towards her, imotionless and cold.
"Thank you again," She says bowing in respect, a part of her thought he wouldn't show up. She stops in front of her for a secont before walking past her, she gets the hint, puts her water down and follows. Neji turns towards her and gets in fighting stance, she does as well.
-
Gaara's skilled eyes watches Hinata closely, he arrived only a minute ago to find Hinata and her cousin fighting, interested Gaara didn't interfere. He remembers when he seen the battle between the two at the exam three years ago, it's obvious she has grown sence then, mently, and physically. Hinata is weaker, but stands her ground on the defensive. Her eyes widen in what Gaara takes as surprise when her cousin, the air is knocked out of her petite form, Gaara growls at this, now ready to interfere. Her cousin goes to hit her again.
-
Hinata freezes, time seems to go in slow motion as she waits for the next blow. Her heart sinks, Gaara's image flashes infront of her face.
"No," shock is appearent in both her and Neji's face as he lands on the ground, she hit him, succefully, that's impossible. "I-I-" She stops when a smirk crosses Neji's lips.
"It's late, we'll continue this tomorrow," Her cousin says standing and wiping some blood from his chin. A smile grazes her lips, a true smile, and her eyes shine brighter than they have for years.
"Thank you!"
-
Gaara watches the boy walk away, then his attention goes back to Hinata, his Hinata, she opens a bottle of water, drinking greedily. Gaara silently jumps from the tree two feet behind Hinata, his eyes on the back of her pale throat, perspiration trickling down her face and kneck, glistening in the moonlight, giving her a mystical look. Gaara remembers the first time he seen the quivering girl, she's grown from then, her face more slender, older looking, she taller now, even though she's still short compared to him, her jacket even though it looks thick still can't hide her curves, her hair longer in a messy ponytail, loose strands of hair falling in her eyes, beautiful.
-
A twig snaps making Hinata choke on her water in surprise. She looks back to see the one person she didn't want to see, Gaara. Her water bottle slips from her hands, but never lands on the ground. Hinata jumps when Gaara shows up in front of her, so close his breath mingles with hers. He drinks the last bit of water out of her water bottle that he caught, his eyes never leaving her, sending shivers up her spine. She steps back, Gaara throws the bottle to the ground, wiping some water from his chin with the back of his hand.
"Wh-what do you wan-want?" She questions, attempting to glare at the guy staring at her like a piece of meat. A smirk forms on his lips, making him look even more cruel and cold hearted than usual, his eyes trail down her body. "St-stop," Hinata orders weakly, a blush strong on her cheeks as she meekly covers herself with her arms, feeling as if he could see through her clothes. Gaara steps towards her, she goes to step back, but a firm grip one her arm stops her. She's easily pulled forward into him, his arms quickly encircle her, preventing her escape.
"I want you," his words are a dark, lustful whisper in her ear, she struggles, pushing at his chest, but his grip is strong, securing her to his body, "I get what I want."
Till next times friends and foes...
