They meet up the next day as agreed.
Hinata frowned at her, eyeing the dark spot. "Why are there always bruises on you?"
"The villagers…"
They fell into awkward silence, his little mind wandering to what happened earlier. He was upset about it, nobody – nobody deserved to be treated like that. He didn't like that it had happened and didn't want to see something so sad again. The whole village…
"You're kind to me, like the Third Hokage. Everybody likes her and I-"
Hinata interrupted the blond. Everyone liked the Hokage, if I can be Hoakge then they'll listen to me and won't do that again. "I-I'm going t-t-to be H-Hokage. So, n-nobody w-w-will be treated l-like t-that again. Y-You d-didn't deserve i-it."
"But I'm a demon! A monster!"
He turned quickly, shoving his red face so close to hers. "Y-You a-a-are not! You a-are human, j-j-just l-like them."
Naruko stilled, gawking. He said nothing but turned away with a scowl, his father raised him to be a gentlemen and gentlemen didn't let girls be hurt. No, they protected them. Suddenly the girl stood up, hands on her hips and beamed down at him. "You're right! I'm going to prove to the world they're wrong and save people just like me."
He smiled in return.
…
"You saved me, Hinata."
"What did you say, Naruko-chan?"
She chuckled dryly. "Nothing."
…
"Why did Naruko do that?" Gaara-chan asked, her delicate chin digging into his chest as she rested on him. It was a bit uncomfortable but anything for her. Her habit of laying on him still made him blush though.
"That's how she is. She's my best friend." He responded and reached up, slowly, to run his fingers through her red hair. She relaxed under his touch and snuggled into his chest to hide her pout.
"I don't like it. How she touches you."
He laughed, holding her closer with his other hand. "Don't worry, you're my destiny. My one and only."
"Yes, I am."
He laughed louder and she smiled - happy. They were both happy.
