WW0604: Haha, yes another chapter. I guess I'm going to focus on getting this fic finished. I may chip away at my other fanfics from time to time, but I think its about time I get at least one done. This fanfic has (including this chapter) 3 more chapters and possibly an epilogue. I'm not so sure if I will put an epilogue in or not…we'll see.
*sighs* The disclaimers are suck a drag (Shikamaru moment XD)…well…I don't own anything…not the character or the plot of the anime or even the anime itself…so yeah.
Now that I think of it I haven't put in any other character besides Temari, Kankuro, Tsunade, Shizune, and Hinata (and I guess Hinata's father…whatever his name is haha, I forget). Well, and the teachers…that is of course if I'm mistaken . Well, I guess that's how the story is…I kind of like how its turning out anyway. About that warning from last chapter…its this chapter my mistake. I guess I don't have this fic as planned out as I thought. Okay, lets begin.
Chapter 10: Small and Frail
"Lets go, we've been here long enough" the older man said. Hinata and Gaara both fallowed, without hesitating or thinking of disobeying. They walked all the way to a van that looked like a cerial killer would use. He opened the drivers door as Hinata opened the sliding side door and gently grabbed Gaara's hand. He looked at her and she very faintly smiled as she stepped in and pulled Gaara in after her.
"Neji…" Gaara continuously thought of his boyfriends name, wondering what he is doing right now. Has he realized Gaara's disappearance? If so, is he doing anything to find him? How will Temari and Kankuro react? "Neji…" Hinata's concerned eyes wandered over to the boy sitting beside her.
"Maybe I should have risked my own life over taking Gaara from his love." She regretted what she did. She didn't realize that Gaara would have such a horrible reaction to the situation. Yes, she knew what she was doing was bad, but she feared her father. "All I can do is pray that Neji finds you in time. From what I can tell…you don't know about the truth about me and Neji…my cousin."
Neji was just going back to the bench from the lockers when he got a horrible feeling. Without even realizing it, he was making an all out sprint to the bench located across from the photo booth. Gaara was missing. "What…Gaara? Okay, relax Neji. He's probably at the bathroom. That was the first time on a roller coaster he probably got sick or nervous to the point of a bathroom break. That's it…all I have to do is wait." Neji set his things on the bench and took a seat himself. Looking left and right, seeing if he can spot his boyfriend anywhere. He took a glance at his watch. 11:26...Gaara's been gone for almost thirty minutes. Neji grabbed his bag and the photo bag, fear over coming him.
Neji looked at the photo booth and saw the same lady that served them and he quickly ran up to her. "Ma'am!" he yelled. The lady turned around to see the young boy who had bought a pair of pictures for him and his date. She smiled and walked up to the counter.
"Is there something I can do for you?"
"Gaara…the red head boy that was with me…have you seen him?" The lady gave him a questioning look. "Please, if you saw him get up or walk away with some, please tell him." She can see worry in his eyes. A single tear rolled down his face and she frowned. The lady put up a finger and walked around the counter and back to the boy so she was standing in front of him without the counter getting in their way.
"Did something happen?" She asked. Neji slowly nodded his head.
"He was sitting at the bench over there." he pointed at the bench right across from the booth. The lady nodded, telling Neji that she has seen him sitting there. "Did you see him leave?"
"Yes, with a girl. She looked a lot like you." Neji lifted an eyebrow and the woman thought hard for a moment. "I say she has long hair. To about the small of her back I believe."
"This is impossible…it can't be Hinata."
"Her hair was also the same color as yours, as well as her eyes."
"Hinata…"
"She walked up to your friend, covered her hand over his mouth and said something to him, but they were too far away. He looked scared though, like she threatened him." She looked at Neji, who looked like he has seen a ghost. "Is it someone you know?"
"…Hinata…" The woman tilted her head to the side. "Oh, she's my cousin."
"Oh I see. So you boyfriend should be fine then." she said with a smile. Neji looked at her then at the ground with a slight nod.
"That's what I'm hoping. That Gaara is okay, but if it was really Hinata, then that means…" Neji looked at the woman again and bowed to her. "Thank you, I think I know where to find him now. Thank you for your help…thank you." Neji bowed again and ran off to the exit.
Still running, Neji can feel tears swell up in his eyes and run off hi cheeks, bluring his vision. He finally reached where he wanted to go, Gaara's house. He quickly ran up to the door and pounded on it until Kankuro opened it.
"What the hell, kid? You plan on breaking our…yo, what's wrong?" Neji was crying uncontrollably. He took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes, gathering his thoughts.
"Kankuro…do you happen to have a car?"
"Yes, do you have a liscens?"
"Never mind that! I need to use your car! It's Gaara…he's missing." Kankauro's eyes went wide and he grabbed Neji's hand and puled him inside. Once inside he threw Neji onto the couch and ran to Temari's room. He can hear the two yell.
"Damn it Kankuro! You know better than to enter a girls room without…"
"Temari! Gaara's missing. Neji is here trying to get my car." Neji then heard footsteps rushing towards him and saw temari and Kankuro yet again.
"Gaara's missing?" Neji sadly nodded his head before letting it hang low and started to cry.
"I went to get my bag at the amusment park…he wasn't alone for no more than 5 minutes and when I returned he wasn't there. I waited for him…thinking he went to the bathroom…but he…he didn't…" Neji couldn't hold it back anymore. He cried a river nonstop. That is until temari walked up to the teen and lifted his head up.
"Now you need to stop crying like a little kid." Neji looked deep in her eyes. She was sad, but not showing it. Having her strong front up she continued. "You are Gaara's knight! Pull yourself together and find him!" Neji was shocked. So shocked, he even stopped crying. "I'll lend you my car. You're not driving, but I'll take you around town."
"No need, I know where he is. I just need a ride." Temari nodded and grabbed her car keys.
"Kankuro, stay here just in case Gaara comes home. Call my cell if he does." Kankuro nodded and watch the two run out the door.
Gaara, Hinata and her father all reached Hinata's house and exited the car. Hinata, having to lead Gaara inside the house, gently, yet not too gently, grabbed Gaara's arm again and led him inside. They reached a small room that had a mattress on the floor, but no sheets, no pillows, not even a widow.
"This is where you will be staying." Hinata said as she closed the door and approached Gaara. He still had the doll like expression, looking at nothing but the floor. Hinata sighed and walked all the up to Gaara and hugged him. "Listen, I'm going to explian what is happening and why it is. Please, just become the human Gaara for a little bit so I can explain. Gaara slowly put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her away from him gently. He still had the eyes of a doll but was looking dead in her eyes. "I guess this is as good as I'm going to get." He nodded and kept looking at her. "Well, I guess I'll start with this. My mother is dead. The cause of her death was reported as suicide, but she was murdered. My father, the man that had me kidnap you, was her killer. My mother was his slave, doing as he pleased when he asked for it, but one day, she disobeyed him…"
-flashback-
"Oi, whore! Get undressed and come to me." A man yelled from the bed located in the middle of the room. A woman, on the other side of the room in a corner looked at him.
"No…I have had enough of your torturing games! I'm taking our daughter and leaving this hell!" She got up and ran for the door only to find herself being thrown to the floor. The woman yelled and the man smiled.
"You bitch! Do as I say or pay the consequences!" She glared at the man, not budging one bit. "You leave me no choice I see." He walked away from the woman, not even realizing the door opening a little to show a small girl, standing in the door way. The man walked back, carrying a small pistol I his hand. He walked to the woman and grabbed her hand in his and put her finger on the trigger as he shoved the barrel of the gun in her mouth. Seeing her daughter, the woman tried to fight the man, but found her self getting a bullet through the back of her head, killing her instantly. The small girl, named Hinata, looked in horrer and yelled as she ran to her mom, shaking her, trying to wake her up.
"Daddy, Mommy is hurt. We have to-"
"Shut up, that whore is dead and you are going to do her biddings now, you got that!"
-end flashback-
Hinata let a single tear roll down her cheek. Gaara, still showing now emotion, only the one of a doll wipped the tear off her face and stared at her.
"That is why I'm doing this. I'll have the same fate as mother if I don't." Gaara looked away at her and sat on the bed he was given. Hinata slightly bowed before walking out of the room to only be replaced by her father. Gaara looked up and saw his attacker, completely undressed and launching himself ontop of Gaara.
"Now enjoy what I'm giving you as I only give this to the cuter guys." Gaara didn't do anything. Learning from the last time this has happened to him, if he tried to fight back it will only hurt more.
-with Neji-
"There, that's the house." Neji said, pointing to a worn out building. Temari parked the car and looked at Neji, who was only staring at the building. It has been so long since he has been here and just by the atmosphere around the house he was sure what he thought has happened has in fact, happened. "Hinata, your mother has died, hasn't she? You've told me once that if you were to do something horrible, it would only be because your mother was now dead. I'll never forget how sad you looked when you said those very words."
"Neji, if your not going to go get my brother then I will!" Temari said and she shook the boy out of his daydream. He looked at her and nodded. Opening the door he rushed towards the door. Lifting up the mat that was in front of the door he found a spare key, just as Hinata had told him in the past. He quietly opened the door to be greeted by a gun barrel.
"Okay, umm…you can put that down Hinata. I'm here for my boyfriend." The barrel of the gun lowered and she tightly hugged Neji.
"It's been so long Neji." she said in an excited yet silent voice. He only grabbed her shoulders and pulled away from her.
"Hinata, I need you to listen to me. There's a car parked outside with a blonde haired woman sitting in it. Go to her and tell her that Neji sent you to stay. You are coming with me and getting away from your father." Hinata looked at Neji in surprise. "He is far too dangerous for such a sweet girl like you to be with." Hinata, holding back 7 years of it, finally started to cry. She kissed Neji's cheek and thanked him before running out of the prison she now doesn't call home.
Seeing the gun that Hinata once was holding on the floor, Neji picked it up and listened for sounds. He heard faint sounds, but didn't know what or who they were. Quietly walking towards the sound, he found himself in front of a door to a room that had moaning sounds coming from it.
"Please don't tell me…" Neji loaded and prepared the gun and kicked the door in. Just as he feared, Gaara and his dreaded uncle was in the room. The both were naked, on the mattress, moving to the same rhythm. Neji noticed a slight difference to what he thought was an enjoyable sex time, it was Gaara, bruised and injured everywhere, he was like a broken doll under his uncle. Not making a sound or making an effort to get the man off him. "This is…" Neji took the gun and aimed it and his uncle. "SICK!!! YOU BASTARD!" Neji yelled. The yell caught the attention of his uncle and Neji shot him, right between the eyes. The dead body slumped on top of Gaara who only pushed it off before curling up into a ball.
Gaara, within a matter of thrity minues looked more like a small, frail doll than the cheerful teen who Neji had fallen in love with. "This won't stop me. Gaara, I will love you no matter how broken you are. I will put you together and back to the boy I fell in love with. THAT I promise."
READ BELOW!!! IMPORTANT!!!
WW0604: Okay, chapter 10 is done! I'm not sure if I like it, I guess it turned out okay. No, this is not the last chapter. In fact…I have 2 more to this fic and I got a question for all of you wonderful readers. Now, this is how its going to work. I'm thinking about doing a sequel to this fic, but I need your opinions. Yes or no, I need you all to review telling me if you think I should make a sequel. I'll tell you this, the sequel will not be a one shot, it will be about Gaara's recovery after his attack, and it will most likely have some real Neji/Gaara yaoi…I know this fic didn't yet, but if you say yes to a sequel then the yaoi will be in the next story, if you all say no, then there will only be one yaoi scene in this fic making it the end.
Majority vote! Everyone can vote once (meaning one vote per username not one vote per how many people use the same name…catch my drift). Now…I think I will give everyone 2 weeks, 14 days to put their vote in. you can send your vote either through private message or review…they count as the same.
This fic is guranteed 2 more chapters regardless so R&R…and tell me about the sequel…yes or not…2 weeks till I talley the votes, so make it count lol!
