Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto cast.

Note: Hello my peeps how art thee today? xD Enjoy. It's Hinata's POV. And I organized my computer so now it's a shoe of alot easier to find my stories. -grins- I'm so happy. Also I know Neji's father's name his spell H-i-z-a-s-h-i, so before you say anything I but 'ashi'is a pet-name for him.

Hinata's POV

Normal POV

When we arrived at our campsite it was 1 'oclock. Everyone besides my Niisan and I where asleep. I couldn't fall back asleep, I had to many things on my mind.

Neji turned to me and motioned to the people sleeping, "I'll get the stuff while you wake them."

I nodded and decided to wake Lee and TenTen first, they were much easier to wake than Naruto. I glance at the door, it'd be way easier to lean over front row. So I did, I moved back to my previous seat and poke my brunette friend, "T-TenTen? W-wake up puh-please." She squirmed after I gently shook her, her movement caused Lee, who was already a light sleeper to wake up. As Lee's eyes opened, he moved, making TenTen wake up as well. "Wh-where h-here."

Both of them sleepily nod and Lee gropes for the handle, only to find it and fall out of the door. By this point he's wide awake, with TenTen curled back up asleep on his chest.

My coffee haried cousin stops what he's doing and raises an eyebrow, "Comfortable Lee?"

Lee smiles, "At least I can stretch out now."

My niisan rolls his soft grey eyes and drops a Tent-In-A-Bag, that just happens to be green, beside Lee's head. "Here's your tent Sir Sleep."

I turn my attention to Naruto, knowing Lee and Neji could handle waking up a snoozing TenTen. "N-Narurto?" He doesn't move, I reach over and turn off his CD player, then take the ear phones off his hears. Once the ear phones were off I noticed something, his ears were pointed, elfishly, not alot but it was there, a bit my lip and controled the urge to rub them, that'd give him the wrong idea. "N-Naruto."

He still didn't stir, so I poked him, "W-wake up." I sighed and tugged on his sleeve, when he didn't even move. "I-it's ta-time to g-get up." Now it was just kinda getting annoying, I turned around to check on Niisan, TenTen, and Lee, to find the latter of the three putting up there tent and my niisan put some rocks in a circle, all the packs and gear in a neat pile. "N-Naruto, w-wake up or I-I'm pa-pushing you ou-out of this c-car." His eyes didn't even flutter.

I looked around and saw my water bottle still in the cup hold, I smiled, well I really wanted to go check to see if I did have cuts, or the stinging was my imagenation. I reached over Naruto, glancing at his ears one more time, and opened his door. I grabbed my water bottle and screwed the lid off, not bothering to be quiet, hey if he woke up now he'd be drier.

I held the water bottle over him, "W-wake up, puh-please." When he didn't stir I turned the bottle, letting half of the luke-warm water pour onto him. I blinked, he was still asleep. He had water dripping from his eyelashed and his nose and he still wasn't awake. I was half tempted to throttle the, boy if he didn't wake up soon. Dang it I've been in this car long enough, and I want to see if that was a real thing or a dream.

I moved my head to see what was going on outside of the Rov. Lee and TenTen had their tent set up and was organizing the inside of it (sleeping bags, pillows, packs, ect). And my niisan had a tepee of sticks, his white tent set up, organized, and was putting up my dark blue tent. Okay, it wasn't my imagenation it was taking a long time to wake this, this, unresponsive log up!

"N-naruto, yo-you have one m-more chance." I but my lip and push him, out the door.

SPLASH

"S-sorry!!"

I looked down to see that he was sopping wet, and still asleep. Fine! I jumped out of the car, landing a little bit to the side of the sleeping male. I turned around stood on my tippy-toes, and pushed the door shut. I walked around the front and did the same steps to shut the other white door. I sniffed and walked over to my niisan, "N-naruto won't wa-wake up!" I had gotten past annoyed and I was more upset now.

I watched as Neji sighed and walked over to Naruto, I followed queitly behind, wiggling my toes in my boots when he stopped. I gasped in horror when my coffee haired cousin stomped on my blonde friend's stomach. "N-niisan!!"

Naruto's eyes flew open, "What the f-"

"That is no language to be speaking infront of a lady."

The blue-eyed male flew up and glared at Neji, "Sorry Lady Neji!"

"N-naruto...puh-please y-you wou-wouldn't wake up..." I looked at his wed T-shirt, noticing that through the wet shirt that there was a tattoo peaking out of the corner of his jeans. The jeans he had on today hug tightly on his hips, instead of his usual saggy pants and high-up boxers. I blinked and shook my head. "I-I even pu-pushed you ou-out tha-the door."

His foxy grin was back, his blue eyes sparkling, "Sweet. I got you mad enough to push me out of the-"

"Naruto, put up your tent."

There here was my chance, "N-niisan, I'll g-go collect fire w-wood."

He nodded, "Be careful."

I patted my left pocket and winked, "I will." I turned around and took a few steps. He said something else but the only things I caught was 'different'.

Once I was a few yards from the campsite I began to run, making sure to keep my eye on where I was going. My feet and my lower body hurt when I ran helped me in believing, that maybe I did have cuts from the thorns and maybe it wasn't a dream. That is was real. That I was specail, that Gaara was cursed, and we were meant to fall in love.

I stopped and sat down beneath a large tree. I pulled up my pants leg, and saw them, they were small tears in my flesh, little bits of blood here and there. I reached down and untied my boots, then yanked a dark blue sock off, I the top of my foot hardly had any cuts, but the bottom, I saw when I pulled it into my lap, was competely torn up in shallow cuts from running on the thorns.

I leaned back against the tree, ignoring the chill I got from having one of my feet bare to the haru that had began to blow. It was true. All of it! I took a deep breath, what do I do. It's not like I can go up to him, he doesn't even like me! But I can't just say, 'Hey I like had this dream and I was like meant to be with you, caue I can like calm you, cause your cursed, and I like ran across a field of thorns and black roses, amd like saw you writhering in pain. Then I like pulled you on my lap and calmed you, in the process like got tore up with said thorns. Then I woke up and like had cuts all over me.' I blinked, where the heck did that come from? Since when am I a valley girl?

Breath, Hinata, your over reacting. Maybe he does know about being cursed, but he can't possibly know about me calming him. I wonder if Niisan knows about this? Something tells me he doesn't, but maybe he does... No! I need to figure this out on my own, I'm a big girl, I can atleast do that. Now, okay where was I. Yes, okay maybe I should talk to Gaara. Well this plan already sucks, he hates me. But Mama said we were meant to be, though didn't she also say it doesn't always happen. I wonder why she looked so sad when she said that?

I reached down and put my sock and shoe back on, then rolled my pants leg up. I best gather some wood and head back to camp before Neji get's nervous, I can think while I do that.

Grandpa, died before I ever met him, but Mama always said him and Grandmother were very much in love. Love. Father didn't love Mama, I remeber, even though she was gone by the time I was five, I rememeber. They'd always bicker, he wanted her to stay away from Uncle Ashi and focusing on raising me. Really looking back on it Father had been really cruel to Mama, Uncle Ashi had been so much nicer to us. Did Mama love Uncle Ashi? If so why was she married to my father, is that why she was always so sad if Father told her to stay away from him. Is that why she started crying.

I stopped in midreach of another peice of wood, I knew my father was creul and had been involved in alot of shady stuff, that was part of the reason he and my adorable little sister was dead now. But how horrid had he really been? Was it even possible to force someone into marriage. I sighed and picked up the timber, I could hear the murmur of camp. I looked at the armful of wood, I'd been gone a long time, the limp that had came from running with the injured feet had slowed be down, that and thinking while I was walking.

A few steps later I saw Naruto bounding over to me, "Hinata!! Hey you need any help?"

"S-sure?" I smiled as he took all of the wood out of my arms.

"Hair boy was starting to get worried."

"I-I got di-distracted."

He nodded and grinned and looked at me, "Yeah there's alot of beautiful things out here."

I blushed and tried to play off the compliment, "Th-the fa-falling leaves ar-are magnificent."

He winked a cerulean eye at me, "Yep just plain georgous."

"Hinata!" I looked up, my gaze had somehow landed on my feet, to find my cousin giving me that look again, the one that made me feel like a little kid. "What took so long."

"I-I got pr-preocupied." I flushed, it was true, but it was also a lie. I really needed to talk to him, but I figured now was not the proper time.

He raised a sleek dark brown eyebrow and looked at me, not completely buying it. "Naruto but the fire wood over by my chair."

"Whatever." The blonde walked over and droped the timber, breaking a few peices, he looked down and blushed, "Sorry Hinata."

"I-it's fine."

Neji circled around me, "Something about you is different since you woke up. I can't place my finger on it..."

I wanted to say, well I'm not stuttering as bad, amazing I know. Also since I woke up I found that the females in my family control the 'cursed' ones, and have a little medow in their mind. Oh yeah, and I'm meant to be with Gaara. But knowing Naruto, TenTen, and Lee were around made me just smile weakly and shrug, "I do-don't know."

I watched as he took a long stride towards me, his eyes silver-grey eyes lighting up, "That's it!" He whispered and looked at me. "Your stutter has decreased."

My eyes darted to Naruto who was looking curiously at the two of us, "N-not now Neji." I turned my stare up, looking into his eyes, blushing as I did so, still not like eye contact with people.

He nodded knowing that I called him by his name instead of niisan, that I was serious. "Later." His light eyes pentrated mine, making me only able to nod.

"Oi! Are you just gonna stare at each other all day or what?"

I gulped, my cousin did the evil turn around, you know the one where you turn around really slowly, glaring at someone as you do, a small shiver made its way up my spine. He'd given me that look twice times in my life, once when I accidently killed his hamster when I was 4, the other time when I was when I called his girlfriend a bitch, I had been 6 at the time. I have a feeling that the glare has gotten alot better than when he was 14.

"Nar.U.To I am talking to MY cousin. Now, if you have a promblem of how we converse, please do inform us."

The color drained out of Naruto's face, "N-no...I'm gonna go help, TenTen..." I blinked and he was on the other side of the camp site.

Neji turned and looked at me and smiled, "Is now later enough?"

Before I could answer I heard a vehicle, I looked towards the noise and watched. A few minutes later I a mustard yellow blob stood out from the autum colored leaves. "N-niisan, a car is c-coming."

His smile widened, andI guessed that it was Temari. We watched the yellow vehicle come closer, till it was parked beside the white Range Rover. The woman with really short snady blonde hair hoped out of the vehicle and waved. "Hey Neji, Hinata." Temaru smiled and walked over to us, "Sorry I'm late. I take it Naruto told you all what was up?"

Neji nodded and hugged his girlfriend with one arm, "Yes. Did things call down?"

"When I left Shino and Kankuro was looking over it."

"I'll get you bags."

We both watched as my niisan walked away. A silence fell over us for a moment before Temari looked at me and smiled gently, reminding me the way my mother used to smile at me and Neji, "I know we haven't really talked much." I blushed and nodded. "Part of it's my fault, really. But I hope we can be friends."

I smiled at her, she didn't seem so bad. Even though I've lived with my cousin for a long time I'd never really talked to Temari, he normally was the one to answer the door or the phone. "I-I'd like that."

"Me too. Neji told me your favortie colors are indigo and crimson, it's a very orginal combanation. Though personally I like mustard yellow and white together myself."

"Th-those colors do look ga-good together. Ni-niisan probably told you wh-why I like those colors, h-he's never really g-got over my re-reasoning."

"Yeah, he did, and I had to agree with you. Those rich, dark colors like indigo or crimson, could never be with a color like pink. Though, they look beautiful with sparlking colors like silver or gold."

"Th-that's true. I never tho-thought of that. C-can I ask you wh-what your perfered animal is?"

"Perfered animal?"

"Ye-yeah, I don't like saying fav-favorite because it makes it seem like yo-you don't like the others."

"I never looked at it that way. And yes, you may. My perfered animal would have to be an door mouse, acutally. I just think they're fasinating."

I smiled, she was strange, I like that, "They really are, my sis-sister, had wanted one as a pet o-one time. S-so I learned ab-about them so I could help her take care of it i-if she go-got one."

It was Temari's turn to smile, "That was very sweet of you to prepare like that. So what's your prefered animal?"

"The Nanuk."

"Polar bears,really?"

"Ye-yeah. I think it's just, really magnifect, and doesn't deserve all the bad tha-thing people sa-say about them."

"I would have to agree."

We both smiled at each other and turned when Neji walked back over to us, "I looked all in your 'Sunflower' and couldn't find a tent."

"Shi-p. I forgot it." I watched as Temari blushed at almost cussing. "I must of left it by th-"

RING

"Hello. Yes, Kankuro. I realized that. Mhm. What?! You really think that's a good idea. True...okay, if your sure." She sighed, "See ya." Temari closed her phone and looked at us, "At that was Brother #1 telling me I forgot my tent, and told me when Brother # 2 wakes up that he'll send him up with it."

"Yah mean Gaara's coming here!!" I blinked, it was like Naruto appeared out of nowhere.

Temari turned and looked at the blonde, sighing, "Yes, Naruto. And when he get's here don't do anything to upset him."

Cerulean eyes were rolled, "Yes, Mother."

I watched as she narrowed her hazel eyes, "I mean it Naruto."

He sighed, "I know I'm not two."

"You act like it somedays Naruto. Anyway can I talk to you?"

"Sure. Sure." I watched as the two of them walked over to the edge of the woods.

Temari looked at her brethern, "Hey, Naruto, when Gaara wasn't with us, when Shuhaku was in control, he kept speaking about a 'glassf lower' about things like 'Her blood will be mine!' or 'She will die!' Naruto, think do you have any clue who the glass flower is?"

"Glass flower...glass flower. I know I've heard it before..." Naruto brought his hand up to his head and thought deeply. "I can't think of it..but I know I've heard it before..."

Hazel eyes, specked with deep yellow with concern for their brother, locked onto thoughtful cerulan eyes, "You have got to remeber, Naruto, it could be life or death for someone."

He nodded, "I promise I will. Ask Neji, it may be a code of some sort, you know how could he is with those."

"I'm planning on it Naruto." The sandy-haired woman put her hand on the young mans shoulder, "Think, please." Temari then turned around and walked over to her boyfriend and his younger realitive.
