I have been trying to keep up to date with all my stories; so far that has been really hard to do, even if I don't have as many as I did before. So sorry if some of this stuff sucks hard and has long amounts of time where I don't update. I won't ever give up on a story though, so no worries about that. I'm trying really hard, especially on this one since it has more meaning to me. But I burned my fingers multiple times in Electronics and damn did that hurt. And I burned my hair. That wasn't pleasant; it smelt horrible. Anyways, Please read and review!

Magnetic Attraction: Angel and Demon

Hinata nervously stretched out on the fake grass, her legs split into a v. Leaning forward, she pulled on her ankles and then shifted back. Sighing, she wiped her forehead. Almost as if she had lost control, her eyes darted to the stands.

Hinata bit her lip. Is he here? She fretted, blowing her bangs so she could see well. The stands were fairly close, and Hinata felt like jumping for joy when she saw a familiar red head among the mostly dark haired civilians. He was sitting halfway back in the crowd glaring at the girls that were swarming around him in masses. Amused, Hinata covered her mouth and laughed lightly, sounding like a bell. At that same moment Gaara looked up and locked eyes with her. She waved. He smirked and raised his hand half-heartedly in a small sigh of recognition.

Kiba and Naruto were seated a few rows away from him, bickering. Hinata swore that they were almost like twins, but both had violently denied being similar in any way. She rolled her eyes. They even agreed about being different.

BOOM! The guns went off, and Hinata jumped, clutching the thin fabric of her uniform. She still hadn't gotten used to the loud thing, and was always taken by surprise when it was shot for the start. Shrugging, she trotted off to the middle of the field, her spikes leaving small pinprick holes in the ground. Tenten waved at her and then went back to talking to her older friends.

The rest of the events were boring and Hinata almost fell asleep on the ground as she yawned. She was still tired from the party and hadn't been able to sleep at all through the night. Thoughts of Gaara had invaded and she couldn't shake them off just yet, for whatever reason. Shaking her head, she stalked off to the dirt track, shaking the loose dirt off of her running shoes, as she prepared for her race. Impatiently, she tugged on her long and silky ponytail wanting to start running like no tomorrow as soon as possible. Tenten was right next to her on her right and Hinata swore the girl was trying to taunt her, but knew that she wasn't. Of course, the older girl would want to encourage her, not put her down. She was so lost in her thoughts; she almost didn't get ready in time. The gun went off, and she shot forward, using the muscles in her legs to prop herself. The wind whipped her face, but since it had been so hot for the last couple of days she didn't mind. Nearing the finish line, she started to go faster, trying to catch up with Tenten. She was a few feet in front of her and she was still running faster. Hinata sped up, her legs powerful and her breathes coming out in pants. Tenten crossed while Hinata came up behind her only about a yard short.

I still need more work, but I am getting better, she thought, wiping a bead of sweat off with her arm. I can't believe that I'm getting closer to my goal! It will help with my other goals!

"Yeah, go Hinata!" Naruto shouted out in the crowds, his loud voice projecting well among the chaos of the stands. Smiling, Hinata moved forward and loped off to see her friends as well as brooding Gaara. He was watching her intently, and she almost felt like blushing. His looks could make a grown woman want him and she wasn't any different, though she had more control over her hormones.

Smiling, Hinata walked up the stairs that led to the stands and gripped the cold metal in her hands. Kiba and Naruto both walked to her and she was pleased and contented like a cat in sunshine. Kiba smoothed her ruffled hair with his fingertips, surprisingly gentle.

"Good job, Hinata," he complimented, smirking at her. He had to look down to meet her in the eyes; he hovered over her by at least two inches like most of the guys in their class. She grinned up at him, melting his heart. She was just so cute sometimes and he just wanted to smother her in a hug and never let her go out into the ugly bad world. Just because he hit on her the first time they met, didn't mean he still had a lusty crush on her. It was more like a sister-brother relationship, and he would be damned if he let anyone get their mitts on her and corrupt her. She was too good for that and too innocent.

Then down came the blonde. Hinata brightened and let him smother her in a hug that made her see orange all around. He was even taller than Kiba so she just barely came up to his chest. Kiba growled; the idiot still had no clue about her feelings and she wasn't about to tell him for the moment.

"You totally kicked ass, Hinata!" Naruto yelled, swinging her around in a circle. Even though she was dizzy she smiled at him sweetly and let him cling to her. He was cuddly in his one way.

"Thanks guys," she said happily, feeling the warmth of their love and admiration. She could outrun them any day though, so they shouldn't get on her bad side.

Emerging from the background, Gaara came up behind Naruto and leaned against the cold metal railing, smirking while girls in the background watched with hearts in their eyes. "So, you did lie," he stated, crossing his arms, his hair brushing against his forehead. He brushed the troublesome curly strands away and Hinata thought it made him even cuter than before.

Hurt, Hinata said, "I didn't lie."

"You said you were only good," he said, watching the other males prepare to leap on him from anger. "You lied. You rock," he finished lamely. Pick up lines were never much of his thing.

"Who is this guy?" Kiba asked, eying the red head up and down. He assed the challenge of beating him and didn't like the odds.

"Kiba, this is Gaara," she introduced. "We met at a party my father was holding."

"I don't like him," Naruto bluntly said, pouting like a child. An idea appeared into his mind and he smirked, wrapping Hinata into another hug, laying his head on her shoulder. She blushed, setting Gaara on fire.

"Your opinion doesn't matter."

"Uh…guys-"

"I think it does. I don't like you either."

"Too bad. Hinata likes me." Gaara tugged Hinata from Naruto and let her lean against him. Now she was blushing like it was the end of the world and she was the only female. "More than she likes you."

"UH…Gaara…could you let me go?" Hinata asked. She was blushing. Gaara's lean body was right against hers and she could feel all the muscles in all the right places. She could only imagine what he could feel through her whorish outfit that she hated and wished would die.

Kiba cracked his knuckles. "Let go."

Hinata was glad for once that her friends were overprotective. Shino was on vacation, but these two still had her back and even made up for their missing companion. She didn't dislike Gaara, he just came on a bit strong, and the guys still thought of her as the little sister type so of course they wanted to protect her.

The whistle sounded. "Hinata!" her couch yelled, waving her arms at her, "Get over here and help set up the jumps!"

Relieved, Hinata backed away, almost tripping on her feet in her haste to get away. "Sorry, I'll see you guys later!" She waved, and sprinted off to the side of the track, to pull the jumps out for the next event.

That was close. I hope they don't hurt each other, she thought. Biting her lip, she tugged one of the jumps and placed it a foot from the other similar wooden gates that were being set up nearby. Three unbelievably hot guys and they all happen to know me. I just wish they could get along and be friends. Gaara seems nice. I wonder why he hugged me?

After the track was all set, she slipped into a smelly bathroom and changed into a pair of long jean shorts, with a purple top and hoodie. A yin yang necklace was around her neck and just barely visible. Neji had given it to her for her birthday last year and she loved it.

Hinata sighed. Time to face the boys, I guess. Man, why couldn't I have some female friends?!

Before she could reach the stands, Tenten intercepted her. The brunette whispered "Come here, I want to ask you something!" and dragged her away to the back of the stands.

Hinata stood awkwardly beneath the crowd, trying not to step on the massive amounts of garbage that people had thrown away. Tenten was beaming at her, and Hinata couldn't stand the too happy way the girl was watching her. She shifted onto her other foot, balancing her bag on her hip. There was no way Hinata would set it on the ground.

"You did good, Hinata," Tenten praised. She smiled and laid her hands on the younger girl's shoulders. Hinata, blinked at her, surprised that the older girl was being so familiar with her. She was nice yes, but she had never really given the Hyuuga much attention.

"Ah, thank you?" Hinata stuttered. "You did really good too."

Tenten waved away Hinata's compliment. "I tried my best and that is all that matters," she said. "But I didn't track you down just for that." She removed her hands from Hinata.

"So then what did you want?"

Tenten smiled devilishly and Hinata gulped. That was the look that Naruto gave her when he was going to embarrass the hell out of her.

"So, who was that guy with the red hair?" the brunette asked. "Is he your boyfriend?"

"Gaara isn't my boyfriend!" Hinata almost yelled, but then slapped her hand over her mouth. Tenten wasn't being nosy, just curious.

"Ah, so his name is Gaara." Tenten put a hand on her hip and the other on her mouth, covering her smile. "He seemed pretty friendly with you. But I guess Neji and Naruto and Kiba and Shino don't help with you getting a bea huh?"

Hinata laughed. "I guess so."

"So mind if I hit on him?" she joked, watching Hinata crack up.

"Go ahead," Hinata gestured for Tenten to get the red head.

Tenten held up her hands, her body shaking from laughter. "I don't think so. Besides, I already have someone special," she said, giggling. "The way he was watching you, this Gaara seems to like you a lot," she emphasized, rolling the last words around in her mouth, watching Hinata blush.

"I just met him yesterday," Hinata explained, finally setting her bag on the ground in defeat. "There is no way he would have a crush on me anyway."

Tenten stared curiously at Hinata. "You never know," she said, shrugging. "Well, I got to go anyway. It was nice to talk to you, Hinata."

Hinata beamed. "It was nice to talk to you too." She hauled her bag over her shoulder and was prepared to leave when white tipped nails gripped her arm. Turning, she faced Tenten. "Is there something else?"

"I want you to know…. that just because we are rivals, doesn't mean we can't be friends."

Tenten let her go, and raced forward, back to the track. "You better get your ass over there to those boys. I think they might have a heart attack if you are gone too long," she shouted behind her back, waving.

Hinata stood stunned for a second. Tenten considered her as a rival? And as a possible friend?

Walking back to the stands to her friends, Hinata smiled. Naruto and Sasuke are friends and rivals. Surely me and Tenten can be the same…. without the beating each other to a bloody pulp and name calling thing they have going on. I think this might be something worth fighting for.

Scurrying back, she raced up the stairs and parked her butt next to Kiba and Naruto. They were arguing loudly over what was better: foxes or dogs. Hinata laughed at their child ness.

Gaara slipped up behind her and patted her head like she was a dog. Gracing him with a smile and a blush, she leaned over to him and said, "Are you enjoying yourself Gaara?"

"Yes. It would be even better if it was you and me alone." Gaara smirked, savoring the feel of making her blush.

Oh man, today was so weird.

AN: Ah…yeah so did you like?

puppiescute a.k.a. Mic Mic: yeah, I get what your saying about the point of views, but the way the story is laid out is shifting the dominant POV. It goes from Gaara to Hinata. Hence the title chapters. Don't hate me.

I will eventually write that Konohamaru and Hanabi side story. Just not know. .

Please read and review!
