Ok, I'm back again! Thanks for all of the good peoples who have reviewed and read. Since they are not ninjas, Gaara's past is different. Enjoy.
------------
Gaara swallowed and looked up at Hinata through wide eyes.
"I-I was'nt wanted..." he said, lowering his gaze yet again. Hinata's eyes widened. Not wanted?
He looks like a six year old, she though.
"I was...an accident, not m-meant to be born, my parents already had Temari and Kankuro. They were not ready for another child..." he paused. "My mother...died while giving birth to me..."
Hinata listened intently, not daring to move a muscle.
"My father never liked me. He said it was my fault my mother was dead and that I should be killed, that I should pay for killing an innocent woman. When I was three, he sent the first assassin...they were not succesful because Kankuro had heard of the attempt and disguised me as another kid."
"And then, when I was six years old, the man that I thought loved me, my uncle Yashamaru I killed him. I didn't mean to, it just...happened." he stopped, his body shaking uncontrollably. Hinata could tell that it had been a while since he had told anybody this story...if he had ever told it at all.
"What happened?" Hinata asked quietly.
"I can't...can't remember how... As he lay dying he told me how much he hated me for killing his sister. His last words to me were 'Well this is it, please die.' " Gaara stopped, and Hinata saw tears fall from his eyes and fall onto his hand and she realized that these were not tears of sorrow but angry tears.
"You know...ever since I thought Temari and Kankuro loved me. But...Temari is can't be in the same room with me for more than ten minutes. Kankuro's never home..." Gaara said quietly.
Hinata reached over and hugged him. Gaara did not move or push her away. Instead, he folded up his arms and lay his head on Hinata's shoulder.
Hinata could now see why Gaara was always so quiet and didn't seem to care. She even knew why he had beat up Neji when he called Gaara a freak.
"It's ok Gaara...I'll be your friend." said Hinata. Gaara's soft sobs subsided.
"You will?" he asked innocently, the same tone a six-year old would have used. He didn't even look at her.
"I will..." she said. He didn't answer.
He's...asleep? she thought. She could feel his steady breathing against her now slightly wet shoulder. His body wasn't tense, it was limp.
"Oh no..." said a voice. Hinata looked up, startled. It was Temari.
"What did he do this time?" she sighed as she picked his limp body up in her arms. "Damn it, well I guess I should be used to it, there's not one time he doesn't cry himself to sleep...it's not like I can't hear it all the way to my bedroom..." her voice trailed off as soon as she was aware that Hinata was in the room.
"Sorry Hinata-chan, I was just talking to myself. Um...shouldn't you be getting home now?" Temari said hastily.
Hinata looked at her watch. It was 5:50. Crap.
"Oh yes...thank you Temari, tell Gaara I'll see him tomorrow please." Hinata said. Temari nodded and Hinata stepped out of the house and headed home.
