Dislciamer: I own nothing, minus Metsuki. Sorry it took so long ya'll. First I had no time then after I had written out THREE things I need to post...I couldn't log in...-glares at ff- seriously I couldn't log in. Even after I finished this. It's been over a week and I can't log in. I finished this '12-5-07' (ignore the fact I didn't start it till like 3 weeks afterI posted the last chapter, I didn't know how to start it out...) Anyways heres the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG awaited chapter.
So
many thoughts race through my mind, I don't know where to start.
Shino has always told me to start at the beginging of something. I
know where it starts, her, the glass flower starts it all. Her mere
scent will make me lose control or it'll calm me, so speaks her
mother. Her mother, another mystery. So not only being glass flower's
mother, she is also Neji's. The gray dove is her sister. She can not
possibly know this, if it was so I am sure she would call him Ankiki
and not niisan. What about what that woman said about glass
flower loving me. That can not possibly be true, she must be
mistaken...but she looked completly serious when she spoke about
letting me love her, letting her in, about she had already lost her
love, and she wouldn't let the same thing happen to her 'little
rose'. That man, Neji's father, he was with her so how could her love
be lost? Why was she in love with one brother but married to the
other? I feel a sigh make it's way from my lips and as much
as I don't wish to it seems that I must ask Neji these questions.
Neji he surely must know he is my glass flower's brother. Though if
she doesn't know there's a chance he will not, then he would believe
I am crazy and not allow me to be with his sister. Wait?! Be with his
sister. When did I begin thinking like that. There is no possible nor
plausible way for us to be together. My beast longs to kill her...but
she did calm me in my feild of death, which brings another question.
How did she even get to it to begin with? I gaze up towards
the tree tops above me, to many questions with not enough answers.
"Gaara!!" I gather my crimson sand, leaving the peace of my
hidden lake to the insaness that is my home. I look at my elder
brother and he hands me a tent and grins, "The female guiness
left her tent here. Think you could drive it to her?" I
shrug and grab the tent, the drive will be short, but maybe when I
see my glass flower some things will come into a better persepective.
All of our vehicles are parked infron of our home. Kiba and Metsuki's
motorcycles are side by side one is black while the other is silver,
the arctic wolf also has a truck from her past life it's quite
obnoxious, deep navy blue flexed with silver glitter, the wheels are
it's wheels are nearly as tall as the girl and the body of the car is
jacked up, the back window has a camo sticker that says 'Save a deer
mount and hunter!', there are two Hank/Ruger symbols on the tail
gate, oh and we mustn't for get the deer antlers attached to the top
of the cab the blasted truck was at least from the 70's. On the other
side of that truck was Ino's antique cherry red Mustang covertable,
it was old but classy. Following Ino's was my brother's big brown
silver Hummer. My sister's mustard yellow Volks Wagon Beetle was
normally parked there, followed with my frosty-blye Cobra. On the
other side of my car was Sasuke's so blue it's black motorcycle, it
didn't matter if it we were vactioning in -30 degree weather he would
ride it, there could be hail the size of softballs and you'd see and
dark blur speeding past the window. Naruto had a car, pumpkin orange
with navy flames, but he's wrecked it to many times so Temari junked
it and refuses to allow him to buy another vehicle. Shino doesn't has
one simply because he doesn't want one, if he needs to go somewhere
he'll simply walk. I get into my frost colored snake and
place the tent in the passager seat, within no time at all I'm
speeding down the road, already half way to their campsite. My
beautiful glass flower she's in love with me, a demon. It cannot be
possible, then again they said it was impossible for a human to be
born with a wretched demon inside them, that it must be placed in
them, and that has proven possible, every time I breathe. Someone so
fragile...though her mother disagrees with the idea that her daughter
is easily broken. We all know her mother and uncle died, followed by
her sister and her father. Though Temari refuses to tell me why or
how the latter of the four and the rose scented woman died. It's a
known fact to all of us that Hizashi cause of death was his brother
hiring a hit-man. I slow the car down and park beside my
sister's yellow bug, before I can get out Naruto is at my door
grinning, though his eyes are clouded with thought. I reach over and
pick up the yellow tent before exiting my car. "Hey Gaara!" I
nod and glance around, "Naruto." The strange man named Lee
and his faincee is sitting on a log chatting, my sister and Neji are
walking over here and my glass flower following behind her couisn,
staring at my with open curiousity. Temari smiles at me and
gently takes the tent from under my arm. "Thank you, Gaara."
Her hazel eyes twinkled with laughter, "Though I'm sure it
wasn't that long of a drive." I let the corner of my
mouth go up in a smirk, "No time at all." My voice comes
out deeper than usual and I see my glass flower blush prettily and
hide behind her older cousin, or is it brother? I really must speak
to him. My sister seemed to notice my voice and my gaze on my
beautiful glass flower for she looked at me and raised and her sandy
eyebrow, "Interesting things out here, no?" I nod and she
glances to Neji, I can tell her eyes are asking if I can stay out
here with them. They stare at each other for a while, I know
that he is scared for the safety of his beloved Hinata, as am I, but
she shall be safe...at the moment. Neji exhales a small amount of air
and then look at me, his eyes warning me to choose my answer wisely,
I already knows he doesn't trust me, he is wise, I do not even trust
myself. "Gaara, would you care to stay? Your sister's
told me you've never really been camping." I shrug, "I
have nothing else planned." My glass flower is smiling,
though she still stares at the ground. Her scent of passion flower
calms me a little, but a new feeling flows through me, one I could
not possibly name. I feel the fox's arm around my shoulder,
"Well, bro, it seems were going to be sharing a tent." I
roll my eyes and shrug his shoulder off, "So it seems." Temari
smiles at me, "The couple on the logs is Lee and TenTen, I think
you've met TenTen before. And I know you've met Hinata before."
"Indeed." My glass flower looks up at
me, her face slowly returning to the normal color, "Ye-yeah...umm
I'm going t-to set up things in m-my tent." She squeaked and
turned around and retreated to her tent. Neji catched me
watching her and sends me a stern look then he lets out another small
puff of air. "Gaara, why don't we gather some fire wood, my
cousin didn't get enough for all night." I could here the
underlying meaning beneath the sentance. What he wanted to say was
'Hey Gaara, where gonna go on a walk and talk; and leave my cousin
alone.' I watched as my sister sent her boyfriend a look and
told him to be nice. I looked at him and caught his eye, nodding once
and he turned around and curved to the left, I followed him and when
we were out of site of the camp I walked next to him. "I
have absolutly nothing against you." He began, "I also
realize that you do have control, to a point, of your demon."
Neji looked at me and leaned against a tree. I leaned against
a tree across from his. "You wish me to stay away from your,
from m-Hinata." I caught myself, though barely, I nearly called
her my glass flower. "Like I said I have nothing against
you." "Hinata, is she truly your cousin?" I
looked into he silver-grey eyes, the same color as the man who held
the rose scented woman so closly. I look into his eyes, ready to
catch him if he lies. "Why do you ask?" He didn't
miss a beat, nothing about him betrays what his mind is thinking, his
face is swept completly swept clean of any trace of emotion. I
shrug indifferntly, "I have my reasons." "I
refuse to answer unless you tell me why." "She is
your sister then." I saw a little of his color drain out
of his face, and then he sighed. "Hinata is my sister, I'm not
going to lie to you. But tell me, how did you find out? Everyone who
knows is dead." I locked my eyes onto his again, "Who
says I can not speak to the dead." I took a small breath, "If
I tell you how I know you must promise me I will be allowed around
your sister." I watched as he stiffen and his fists
curled up, "Harm a single hair on her head and I shall kill you
slow and painfully. Slow and painfully." I saw the leaves around
him shake with more than simply the wind. I nodded, "A
single hair shall not be harmed." I kept from saying that I
would never be able to stop at a single hair. I stuck out my hand and
and he did the same, we did not shake hands merely held them together
for a moment, letting are powers flow into each other, giving an idea
as to what we would do if the promise would be broken. He showed me
just how I would die and I showed him me talking my sister out of
being with him, which was alow blow, but I was serious, nothing would
keep me away from my glass flower. "The story is long." He
shook his head for me to continue. "When my sister calms
my beast he and I fight inside my mind, a feild of death, thorns and
withered black roses littler the dead ground. It is cold there, cold
as ice. Normally after Shuhaku returns to me I lay on the ground
convulsing and jerking until I awake in the world we live in. But
this time I was calmed and awoken by your sister, I know it was her
for her scent of passion flowers and the dark indigo flowers that
were left after she left. Gl-Hinata was gone after my eyes opened.
" "For the first time in all my years some one had
reached my place, and what was more there was a path leading out of
there. An anceint forest was on the far side of my feild. I followed
the flowers through the forest and then a bright of white light sent
me to a medow of flowers and sunlight. After I'd glanced back at the
forest a woman, scented like roses, appeared. I know she was Hinata's
mother for she looked just like her, only far less beautiful. She
spoke to me and close to the end a man, your father, appeared and
conversed as well." I could tell that Neji half believed
me and half didn't. "Gaara," He took a deep breath and I
could tell her believed me, "What did my mother say to
you." "She told me that she was Hinata's mother.
That I was meant to be with your sister, that I was her 'chosen one'.
She also said, ''If you ever do anything to hurt my rose. I will use
my powers to see to it that she will fall in love with someone else.
I know what it is like to be with out the man you were made to be
with. I do not what my daughter going through anymore pain than she
already has.' ' I will not bore you with my story, my son can tell
you it. My son, he will do far worse to you if you harm our Hina
Rose. And if you do I pity you.' " "That Hinata and
all the women of her family were made to calm the beasts with in the
cursed ones. That I should let Hinata love me. Then that's when you
father appeared and before he left he said 'My brother was a horrible
man. He was know for his lies and threats as well. Then they both
left and I woke I watched as Neji tapped
his chin, his eyes clouded over in deep thought. Then he spoke, his
voice souding far away. " What you said is true...Do you wish to
know what happen to our mother?" "My intrest is
sparked." "She was a beautiful woman...so much like
Hina Rose...Haishi, my uncle, was jelous of my father because he had
such a beautiful and loving wife, even though he had been cursed by
my grandfather. Then when they had me, a strong and intelligent son,
he went insane with envy. I would of been the perfect heir to take
over his business." My hatred for the man who claimed to
be my glass flower's father grew with every passing word the grey
dove spoke. "As time went on he forced my mother to separate
from my father. By the time I was eight my mother had gotten pregnant
again and when she was three months pregnant she was forced marry my
uncle and I was living alone with my father on the other side of the
mansion." "Haishi treated Hinata like she was the
only thing that mattered to him. The him she was perfect, a beautiful
little girl that was his. He made sure everyone thought it was
his." "My mother continued to play the role of his
wife, though there was one duty she refused to fufill, which didn't
brother my uncle at all, he had women he kept around for that
puprose. As our Hina Rose got older, our mother got frailer and
sicker. She argued with my uncle nearly every night, she hardly ate.
Every chance she got she would see my father. Hinata loved her
'uncle' and what ever she wanted Haishi would normally end up giving
her." "But finally enough was enough and our mother
died in her sleep. Hinata and I was the ones to find her lying in her
bed, her already pale skin was white and she was colder than ever. My
mother and Hinata stay cold, around 80 degrees is where their body
tempature stays. My little sister spoke, I remeber the words
perfectly, 'M-mama iis de-dead!', I remeber them because it was the
first time she stuttered." "Hiashi Hyuuga is a
bastard. I was to late to save Hinata and Hanabi from him. But I will
always be thankful to Itachi for taking her in until I realized what
was going on." I knew I had heard the name Itachi
mentioned before but I just couldn't place it, but the name Hanabi,
it was a complete blank. "Hanabi?" "My neice,
who was practicly raised by Hinata and I. Haishi remarried when he
decieded that my little sister was to kind and gentle for the
business he was in, it was one of the only smart things he ever did.
After he impregnated the woman he divorced her and she was never saw
again, which was fine by me, the woman was horrible, she practicly
hated Hinata. I know a couple times my uncle nearly divorced her
before Hanabi was born but he need an heir." "When
Hanabi was born I was 14 and Hinata was 6. When Hanabi wasn't with my
sister or I she was with Haishi, he begun at a young age training her
to be his heir, and she had the talent for the business. She was
quick wited and great at hiding what she was thinking, unlinke my
Hina who where's her heart on her sleeve." "I left
when I was 16, I had to get out of there. It was that or die, I knew
it was coming Haishi had already gotten rid of our dad. The only
possible way for me to leave was to promise my loyalty to Hinata, I
had to promise to protect her and always have her first. Haishi was
almost obsessed about my sister, it was another reason I wanted to
move far away and make a place of my own so I could bring her and
Hanabi away from him. But he drugged me and forced the curse upon
me." "Then when Hinata was 15, Hanabi 9, a man,
Sendo came with four men a brutally murdered my neice and uncle right
infront of Hinata's eyes. That was the day she began to hate the man
she still thinks is her father, when she found out what he'd been
teaching her little sister, their young girl who was half sister half
daughter to my little Hina." I couldn't speak. I didn't
pity my glass flower, but I felt myself mourn for her. After a moment
my voice was back, "I agree with your mother...she really should
be broken." Neji smiled a semi-sweet smile, "I
agree, but she keeps smiling...Gaara, I realize that this may not be
the best moment, but while we are talking, rather openly May I ask
for your sisters hand in marrige." I felt the corner of
my mouth pull up in a smirk, "You may." "Thank
you." There was a pause and he looked at me, "I believe we
might want to get some fire wood." I nodded and looked
at him, "You're the right list now." He turned to
me and smirked, "So are you."

VERY
IMPORTANT Note: Yay!! Gaara and Neji have things smoothed out!! And
you all know more!! I have posted a prequal to this, it will explain
what happened in, more detail, to Haishi and Hanabi. It's called
'Loss of One Family; Gaining of Another' and for the sake of things
there are no guns in my story, it's A.U. so I can do that. No guns,
but blades are there. It also explains why Neji is thankful to
Itachi. Thanks all of you for the love. I really like it. .
Yeah, I stole Edward's need for speed and gave it to our other fave
red head...well Kenshin...yeah he can be foruth, Shippo wins for
third. Also the saying 'save a deer mount a hunter' came from a key
chain I saw at 'Wow Only A Dollar'...I didn't buy it though...but
I'll carry that message with me forever...and Metsuki's truck, well
it's my dream truck...-sighs-...You don't know how tempted I was to
give Gaara a sivler Volvo...but I didn't...though I did give Kanky a
hummer, though it does kinda suit him too. I thought about

Reply: Thank you so much I'm worried about loosing
the ''omph''. I"m glad you think it keeps getting better, I'm
trying my hardest and I'm glad its working. : ) And no he didn't hear
the glass flower from Neji, I had though Gaara said it to Naruto in
the 2nd chapter, then after I wrote it I looked back and realized he
just thought it, so I kinda went back and rewrote the last part in
'The Familes'.
Thanks for the long W, now that you've done the first R please R.
