Chapter Seven-I Love You, Okay?

Sabaku No Gaara's POV/

This girl, I swear. No matter what I say to her just isn't enough. I sighed and continued to run the obstacle course in record time. I glanced around to look for Hinata, and saw her smiling at something she was reading on her phone.

Why so happy? I asked her in my head. This stuff is so unbelievably weird. Talking to a girl in my head? Maybe I am weirder than I thought. As I was finishing up the obstacle, I realized she hadn't answered me. I scowled. I guess whoever was on the other side of the phone was making her really happy… I sighed once again and my eyes found their way over to Sasuke, who was also on his phone smiling. I then connected two and two. I feel myself becoming angry. But why…? Do they like each other? I shook my head. No. That can't be it. I mean, she took a vow, and so did I, but why do I feel like I'm more committed than she? Ugh, this isn't the way it's supposed to be. I have all these emotions… Jealousy, anger, sadness, and disappointment. I don't want these bad feelings.

Don't ignore me, Hyuga! I growled at her. I heard her gasp as I looked back at her. She looked up at me with a semi-angry look.

I didn't hear you that first t-time. And I ask you to please stop t-talking to me like that. She said. Her voice lowered with each word she said. I smirked.

About time you answered. Are you texting Sasuke? I asked her a bit anxiously.

No. It was my brother.

Oh, the brown haired Hyuga. I don't see how you guys are related, you look nothing alike.

She sighed. As I told you before. He takes after my father while I take after my mother.

I have been meaning to ask you, what happened to your parents? You never mention them at all.

I noticed how she looked around nervously. Hey, look. Sakura is coming your way. It looks like she's about to hug you. She said as she then looked down. I looked to the side of me, and sure enough, the pink-haired girl was right there. She suddenly wrapped her arms around my waist, and smiled up at me. I crossed my arms and proceeded to walk across the field to Hinata. I sat really close to her, hoping the desperate girl would get lost.

I don't mean to be so… Yeah, but do you have to let her do that? I looked at her, but she quickly looked down once again.

Look at me. God, this head stuff is so weird. How're we able to do this?! I yelled in my head. I watched as she put her hands over her ears and looked at me. And I saw them. Those beautiful eyes. Those lavender eyes. They were amazing. They sparkled in the sunlight. Heh, now I really feel like such a girl. I'm here sort of obsessing over this glorious girl- no; she's more like a woman to me and I wish I could just take her into my arms, hold her, and never let her go. Suddenly, she got up, and looked at Sakura with much venom in her eyes.

"Get. Your hands. Off my hus…I mean my boyfr-… Just get off of him!" She yelled at her. My eyes widened at her. She, herself, said we had to be a secret. Which, I mean, I don't blame her. But she nearly revealed it to Sakura. "I'm so sorry, Gaara…" She whispered to me then ran off.

"Ugh, what a freak!" Sakura said under her breath, but I heard it. I pushed her off of me and got up as I gave her the worst glare I was capable of. "From my understanding, she's your friend, isn't she?" I asked her, still glaring her down. "As if; she has way too many problems." She said as she crossed her arms. "Yeah, so what? She may have way too many problems, but I like her just the way she is." I told her. I felt a blush rising on my cheeks, and tried my best to hold it back at a time like this. "What? No! You… You can't like her!" She said. I began walking away, but then stopped. With my back faced to her, I spoke. "Yeah, I do. I like her. As I noted before, I will like her way more than I will ever like you. In fact, she's my… Girlfriend." And with that said; I walked off. I don't care who knows. I just need to find Hinata.

I searched the halls, but never found her. Suddenly, it hit me. The library! She once told me before, 'I love the peace it gives off. I love the silence. But, most of all, I love it the most when I'm alone in there; with the lights off, just sitting, and thinking. Only thing is, when I'm there, I don't have to think about anything.' Maybe it was a clue. Maybe she knew something like this would happen and she gave me this clue thinking that if I was as smart as everybody thinks I am, I would figure it out. Plus, I mean, she always has a book with her. Like, everyday it's a different book, no matter how big it is. In fact, she's already read every book in the library, and I only remember because she actually got in an award for it. It was a while back, but I still remember, because that's when I finally realized she existed. That was the day the name Hyuga Hinata had a face to match. Even then, I thought she was sort of… Cute, but, of course, I never would've said that before.

I ran into the library, nearly tripping over one book case. "Hinata?" I called, but I didn't get an answer. "Hinata? Are you in here?" I called once again. She was in here. I knew she was. I can feel it. "Gaara… I am so sorry…" I heard that soft sweet voice from behind me. I smiled. I smiled because I knew that she would be in her white dress. I turned around to face her. I was wrong. This was I side of her I'd never seen. Her dress was black, her hair was down, her face was lined with vertical lines of tears strolling down her face, and she had a glazed look in her eyes. As if she was dead in a way. This was I side of her I'd never seen or maybe I just didn't want to… "Hinata… Are you okay?" I asked her. Her gazed lowered. "I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to spill it… I just… I just got so mad…" I smiled a little. "Hinata, it's okay… listen, you're my wife. I like you a lot." I told her as I began to wrap my arms around her. Suddenly, she backed away. "No! God… I love you, okay?! I've been in love with you for so long! How couldn't you tell!? I love you!" She said as she held her face in her hands. Her hair fell over her shoulders as she sobbed. I was in shock. No one has ever loved me, truly, for who I am. As I was about to say something, she quickly ran out of the library still sobbing. "Hinata!" I yelled as I ran after her, but she was too fast.
