A/N: IM SO SORRY READERS!

I fell victim to the pokemon go craze but here goes the new chapter.

I'm already working on the next one.

Ino stood on the far side of the wall away from everyone else as they gathered quietly in the living room waiting for Hinata to open her door.

A very small part of her felt bad because this, and she knew it, was humiliating. Gathering Hinata's closest friends to rip apart her sex life was unthinkable. It was as if this was anyone else they wouldn't be doing this. No one would care because the reality it's just sex. But it wasn't just anyone else it was Hinata Hyuga. She was delicate, sensitive, and saw the good in everyone which is why she made bad choices for the wrong people.

When Hinata was with Ino heading over to meet Sakura at the restaurant she told her about finding Gaara with someone else that night.
How Hinata didn't think she could benefit from their sexual relationship anymore because she might have feelings for him.
Ino hands had tightened on the steering wheel as she had memories of the same thing happening to her 2 years ago with Sasuke when they all had just started college.
She really was just trying to look out for her friend.
When she saw Gaara exit from the same way Hinata went only moments ago she couldn't help but give her best icy stare.
She tried to put every ounce of hatred into it. He just looked away like it didn't faze him, probably because it didn't much to her chagrin.

After Hinata came back from the bathroom she seemed different, almost disappointed as she searched the restaurant for something, or rather someone.

"Did Naruto leave Sakura?" Hinata asked but Ino knew she was fishing for information about that asshole Gaara.

She had sent Hinata a text last night and a few this morning but when she never replied - Ino knew they were back together.
That poor Hinata got sucked into his world again.
She didn't want to see her best friend broken hearted again.
The first time when they were 17 was bad enough. It was as if all the life had been drained from Hinata.
Ino did expect Hinata to take Toneri leaving her a little bit harder but she guessed Gaara did help with that.
A little bit. Or maybe Hinata was just settling with Toneri. Who knew at this point.

Ino's palms began to sweat and she wondered if they were doing the right thing. She looked at the group again and really studied their expressions. Each was looking solemn like Hinata had died or was in a terrible accident.

Choji and Shikamaru looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but there. If Ino hadn't asked them to come they wouldn't be here. She knew they didn't care but the more people there were the more it would seem like a big deal.

Kiba and Shino were there of course because Hinata was like a sister to them. If they even suspected someone was going to hurt her they were there.

If Kiba hadn't been distracted by their relationship problems, Ino knew Toneri would be dead meat. Ino didn't know a lot about Shino because he never talked but she could only guess that he was taking care of Kiba since Hinata seemed to be doing ok.

Sasuke was on the complete opposite side of the room from her. He wasn't the least bit interested and was on his cell phone. Sakura and Naruto, who were sitting on the couch, they probably dragged him along for backup any case anything went wrong.

Ino however, really paid attention to Neji, who was the closest too her. He looked furious and kept closing and opening his hands to form fists. Each time he balled up his hands he squeezed so hard Ino can see his knuckles pale.

Unfortunately there was no time for rethinking her plan.
Hinata's bedroom door opened and pandemonium breaks out.

Hinata sees the furious faces of her friend's and in 2 seconds they are shouting and their voices are over lapping each other.

"Stop!" Hinata yelled. "What's going on here? Is everything okay?" She was completely baffled but what they were all doing here. The last thing on her mind was Gaara right behind her.

Sakura rushed from the group, took her hand and sat her down on the couch.

"Hina this is an intervention." Sakura stated.

"Intervention for what?"

"For fucking me." Gaara responded.

He had been standing there silently watching as Hinata's world came crashing down around her because of her "friends".
He had made eye contact with the blonde one, with blue eyes that shows a lot of skin and he knew this was her fault some how.

"That's ridiculous." Hinata told him, "They wouldn't come over here just because of that. Right?"

"Am I right Blondie? Is it because I screw your friend on a daily basis or is it another reason?"

Gaara was too focused on the hot headed Inzunka that was bearing his canines and forgot about Hinata's overly protective cousin.

Neji Hyuga couldn't listen to another vulgar thing that bastard said about his cousin. He hit the Sabaku in the face, not caring that it was basically a sucker punch.
It's not his fault that he wasn't looking.

Hinata watched in horror as she saw Neji's fist slam into Gaara's face and Gaara wiped his mouth checking for blood. She saw the fury in Gaara's eyes and as his fists tightened.
The group looked on in silence as Neji geared for a second hit and Hinata flinched when she heard the sickening thud of Neji's punch landing on its mark again.
She didn't know why Gaara wasn't defending himself but she had enough.

"Neji stop!" She yelled in anger. "What's wrong with you?!"

Her cousin turned to face her and watched as Hinata ran to Gaara's side, his stomach churning with disgust.

Gaara was still standing but hunched over a little bit as he caught his breath.
Neji had thoughtfully landed a 3rd punch in Gaara's gut knocking the wind out of him temporarily.

Hinata reached out to Gaara as he righted himself to see if he was ok for herself when she was roughly pulled back.

Neji couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Hinata by the arm, yanking her out of reach.

"Ow! Neji let go you're hurting me." Hinata winced as his fingers dug into her arm.

It was then that Gaara's eyes steeled themselves and his voice became cold and hard like ice.

"Let her go." he uttered in a low menacing voice.

Hinata saw a very small flicker of fear in her cousin's eyes and used that moment to wretch her arm out of his reach.
Neji's hand had left splotchy, red finger marks on Hinata's arm which Gaara noticed right away.
Before anyone knew what was happening Gaara was pummeling Neji.

Naruto immediately went to pry them apart. He grabbed Garra by the scruff of his shirt yanking him back violently and Kiba helped Neji up.

Neji had a swollen eye and split lip while Gaara was only out of breath.

Gaara shoved Naruto off him and Naruto held his hands up in surrender mode.

Neji tried going for Gaara but Kiba had a good hold on him.

In all the commotion Hinata felt the anger surge around her and watching Gaara and Neji fight was the last straw.

"GET OUT!" she yelled. Everyone stared at her confused that it came from her.

"I said get out!"

"I'm not leaving you with this bastard!" Neji screamed at her. "He's a fucking psycho!"

"You are and I want you to get the fuck out!"

Neji blinked in surprise at his cousin.

"Look at what he's done to you." Neji told her in disgust and spit out blood in disgust. "I don't recognize you anymore. My Hinata would never talk to her family or treat her friends this way."

He cast one last glance full of hatred at Gaara before storming out of their apartment.
Her friends slowly shuffled out the door but Ino, she stayed behind.
Ino looked at the destruction she made, ashamed of her actions.

"Hinata I-"

"Get out Ino. Get out." Hinata refused to look at her and Ino never heard that much malice in her friends voice.

Ino was out the door when she heard Hinata cry. She felt her own tears well up in her eyes and couldn't believe what she did.

Hinata heard the door close and she sank to her knees as she began to cry with her face in her hands.
Gaara walked over to her not sure what to do and put his hand on her shoulder.
She moved away from his grasp and couldn't stop the anger that had consumed her entire being.
She rose to her feet and shoved him away from her.
Gaara walked back to her and wrapped his arms around her.
Hinata struggled to be released from his grasp but gave up. She finally tired herself out and they stayed standing like that for a while, neither of them counted the time.

Both were feeling guilty and full of blame.

She felt like it was her fault because it was her friends and family that attacked him and she knew he was going to walk away because she was too much drama.
He felt like it was his fault because her cousin was right he was a monster and he felt like he could have killed him. She was going to walk away because she couldn't deal with the lunatic that no-one approved of.

Hinata finally stopped crying and wiped her eyes when Gaara loosened his grip on her. She grabbed his hand, walked to the kitchen and sat him on one of the chairs. She grabbed a bowl of warm water and a clean rag and began to wipe the blood off his knuckles.

"This scene feels familiar." She told him trying to make a joke once again it felt empty and hollow.

Gaara didn't say anything as she cleaned her cousin's blood off his hands.
The joke pushed him over the edge though.
He pulled away from her and walked away into his room and slammed the door shut.

Hinata sat the table feeling her heart break into pieces.
She dumped the water from the bowl and put her hand over her mouth as she cried once again.

Gaara sat on the edge of his bed with his knee bouncing up and down. His body was jittery from the adrenaline that surged through his body during the fight. He opened and closed his hands looking at them disgusted and hating the damage they caused.

Hinata barged into his room tired of him always leaving.

"You don't get to walk away anymore. This is me walking away from you." she yelled at him and stormed out.

He got up and followed her. "I'm not who you think I am Hinata."

"I don't care."

She left the apartment and pushed the elevator button down, repeatedly.
When it took to long she headed for the stairwell.

"Hinata stop."

"No."

"For fuck's sake Hinata stop."

Hinata turned around and raised her hand to slap, hit or punch him but he caught it and held it down.

"Why can't you just let me walk away this once. Just let me have it this one time." she begged him as she cried in the empty stairwell between the first and second floor.

He looked into those lavender tinted eyes and told her "No."

"Why not?" she cried out tired of people telling her what to do.

"Because I love you."

Hinata stood there stupidly with her mouth slightly open as her brain tried to process what he said.

"W-what?" was the only sentence she was able to form.

"I can't let you walk away because I love you."

Hinata felt the world swimming around her and her vision blurred as she felt herself falling as she fainted.
Gaara watched her legs buckle beneath her and caught her before she hit the floor.
He carried her back to their apartment and placed her on the bed in his room.

He was in new territory and not sure what to do at this point.
Every bone in his body told him to leave but based on her reaction he knew that wasn't a good idea.
He watched her sleep and wondered if she was dreaming. He cursed himself for being so stupid and telling her how he felt.

He just couldn't watch her walk away. He had never felt so completely out of control in his life. Never before had another person taken ahold of him this way. She was going to leave him in the end. There was a very small possibility that she would return his feelings but he had to kill that small ray of hope and realize that she walk away from him for real.

And he would let her go.
He hated it but he would watch her leave and take away all the things that gave him light in this world.
He heard her turn over in bed and then the snoring started.
Gaara smiled to himself, took off her shoes then climbed into bed next to her and held her.

When she woke up it would be over and he would let her go if she wanted to.

Hinata opened her eyes completely unaware of what time it was. She turned around and saw Gaara sleeping peacefully. She did her usual slip out of bed to routine because she needed time to think.
She started the shower and in the middle of shampooing her hair she knew she was being foolish but she was terrified.
No one was ever said they loved her not the boy she loved when she was 17, not Toneri, no one.
Toneri used to say me too whenever she said it.

Did she love Gaara?

She didn't know him, he refused to talk about his past.
What she did know was that he made her safe, that when she talked to him he listened to her and that she felt better when she was around him.
She quickly washed it off, rinsed and dressed in under 5 minutes which was a new record for her or anyone.
She knew she loved him.
What they were going to do she didn't know but this was going to be a moment that she would regret if she did nothing.

Gaara was pulling clothes out of his dresser and tossing them into some sort of duffel bag when Hinata walked back into the room.
She took a deep breath and steeled herself for any possibility. like him changing his mind.

"I love you. I love you too Gaara and it scares me." Gaara dropped his bag and walked to her ignoring her rambling. "I've never been loved and I-"

Gaara crashed his mouth on hers and she kissed him back with ernest.
They stumbled to the bed and tore off each others clothes with vigor.

Once they were both naked Gaara kissed Hinata one last time on the mouth before traveling south. He kissed down her throat, to the valley between her breasts, down her stomach and finally reached between her legs.
He didn't tease her this time and went straight for her dripping sex.
Hinata moaned and grabbed a fistful of his hair as she arched her back.
She placed each of her legs on one of his shoulders giving him better access to her vagina.
She ground her hips as he worked his sinful magic on her body.
As Gaara continued to eat her out she felt her thighs quiver and she buried her head in a pillow as she whimpered that her orgasm was near.
He did a final twist with his tongue and looked up in time to see come undone.

His dick was throbbing with need and she was slick from her orgasm.
Hinata gasped when Gaara entered her and she needed him so badly.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to her.
Gaara put his weight on his arms and rocked his hips as Hinata matches the pace.
She clutches his back and tries not to leave scratch marks but she can't help it.
Her body is pulsating with need and she wraps her legs around Gaara as he slowly pounds into her.

Instead of fucking her into numbness they go slowly and Hinata feels her eyes roll back into her head every time he hits her spot.
How he manages to do this she will never know.
Her mouth is on his neck, jaw and lips as they moan together and Hinata calls out his name as she feels the need to orgasm hit her so bad it hurts.

"Gaara, please oh Kami I'm-" the orgasm rocks her to her very core and Gaara continues his slow agonizing pace.

His sheets are already ripped from the bed and crumpled into a bunch around them but she grabs them anyways as her third orgasm hits her.

"Say it Hinata." Gaara grunts out.

Hinata wheezes out "I love you" while trying to catch her breath.
She can feel him everywhere and the familiar tension is building in her lions.

Gaara watches as her mouth opens and can't believe that the girl withering under him loves him.
He has never seen her more beautiful with her lips swollen from his kisses, her skin glistening from their activities, and her hair fanned around his pillow.

He dips his head down and kisses her on the lips.
He nuzzles her neck which is wet from their sweat and loves her salty taste.

"Stopstopstop I'm going to scream, Gaara."

He pulls back and looks her in the eye and changes the pace of their love making.
He grabs her hands, pulls them over her head and pumps into her harder and faster.

"Scream then." he pants at her.

Hinata's orgasm makes her arch her back a final time, screaming his name to the heavens and Gaara grits his teeth as he moans her name while they come.
He jerks his hips uncontrollably while her fills her with his hot seed.
Hinata's fluids have spilled all over the sheet and their scent is hung heavily around the room.

Gaara slips one arm under her head and the other over her waist as she snuggles closer to his chest.

As they getting their breathing under control the both can't help but think, 'Now what?'

YES!

I did use a between the lions reference with the cliffhanger thing last time.

I remember loving that show with all its glorious oddities.
