Hey everyone! I'm really really sorry for not writing for so long... It's just in my last year in school and I have to study... But here I am!
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.
Her chest was aching and teas fluted her eyes. 'What is it? Why I am feeling this way? I need to talk with someone and ask them what could this be.' Hinata wiped her tears away. Few minutes latter doors to Hinata's room opened and Rika came into the room.
- What is it HInata,you looked sad and confused when you called me?
- Well... I just need to talk to someone..
- I'm here to listen. - Rika smiled.
Hinata told everything that was on her mind and Rika listened carefully.
- You love him,don't you?- Rika asked.
- I love Gaara? I don't even know him. - Hinata turned all red.
- Oh,Hinata... You don't need to know a person to fall in love with them.
- Why do you think I'm in love? - Hinata was confused.
- You wouldn't feel like this if you didn't love him. Do you want to marry Tarou?
- I know I should marry him,because Father wishes so,but somehow when I think about it I just want to cry and I get this pain in my chest...
- That's what I'm talking about,Hinata. You really do love him. - Rika smiled.
- I do? But what if he doesn't love me back?
- Well maybe he does love you,but you can never be sure about it.
- What should I do?
- All I can help you with is to tell you one really important thing. I know Lord Hiashi wishes that you marry Tarou,but if you really love Gaara you can't sacrifice your happiness for the clan.
- I would have to disobey Father?
- You have to make this important decision yourself,Hinata. I'm sorry I can't help you,but I have to get back to work.
Hinata nodded. Rika stood up,bowed and left. 'What should I do? Do I really love Gaara and that's why I feel this way about marrying Tarou? What should I do if I really love Gaara?' those were the thoughts in Hinata's head.
Next morning Hinata woke up with a tingling feeling in her chest. Someone knocked on her door.
-Lady Hinata,Lord Hiashi wishes to see you. - It was one of the servants.
- Yes,I'm coming soon.
Hianta got dressed in her simple light purple kimono and hurried to her father's room.
- You wished to see me Father?
- Yes Hinata,please sit down. I wanted to talk about Tarou with you.
- Yes?
- You are to meet him today in the evening and talk over dinner. And after that you are to talk to the Elders and they will make the final decision.
- Yes Father,I understand. - Hinata bowed and left. Her chest started to ache again and she leaned against the wall,her legs felt weak. That's when Gaara walked by.
- Lady Hinata,are you okay? - Gaara looked worried,because Hinata was pale,her cheeks were wet from tiers.
Hinata just looked up at him. 'What should I do? Neji and Father told me not to associate with him?' Gaara slowly leaned towards her.
- Lady Hinata? - Garra looked worried,his eyes were full of concern.
- P-please d-do not call m-me L-lady...
- Hinata? Is everything alright? - Gaara gave a small smile. Hinata's heart skipped a beat. 'I guess I really do love him if even his small smile can make me fell this way.'
- Y-yes.. I-i'll be a-alright. - Hinata's cheeks turned bright pink.
- Shall I help you? - 'What is this feeling in my chest?'
- M-mh.. Y-yes please.
Gaara held out his hand to help Hinata to stand up. 'Sorry Father,sorry Neji... I just don't think I can avoid him. He's ... sort of special to me.'
- T-thank you for helping m-me. - Hinata paused. She was thinking of inviting him to walk with her but she wasn't sure.
'What is this feeling in my ches? Why I'm so captivated by her? Could it be that it's love? No... I would like to love her,but one who has never beeen loved himself can never give love to another..' Gaara's head was full.
