Gaara and the Rain

Chapter Twelve; All our lives. We've been waiting.

Hinata's eyes blinked once, when she heard him speak, she felt her body shake and she started to cry, her eyes wouldn't let her refuse the tears and her lips refused to keep her quiet. A gentle sob hit her lips every two seconds as she collapsed into Gaara. Gaara looked down at her, his hand gently rubbing her long raven colored hair, for comfort. "Hush…Hush, love." He whispered as he lifted her chin , so her face would be looking right at him.

"It will be alright…"he half lied. He had no idea at all, what had happened to the leaf village and was very scared that it could happen to Suna just as fast as it did the leaf. His hands were shaking lightly, but Gaara still had his careless look, and persona. So he was pretty good at hiding his concern to the one who mattered and needed his strength.

Hinata coughed lightly and doubled over onto the chair at the table. Her hands covered her mouth and she shook her head, quickly putting her hands under the table as if she were hiding something. Looking up at Gaara she said. "W…what happened?" she whispered.

Gaara noticed her shift of the hand, and was curious and worried. "I am not sure, Hinata…All I know. Is that someone said they saw you there when it happened. That you were fighting, but you looked different, your appearance." He tried to explain to her but didn't do to well with it.

Hinata looked at him, confused. "You mean, I was there, just in different form?" she asked trying to change his words to understand them.

Gaara turned to her and nodded, "Yes…and you looked very much like you were hypnotized. So we were thinking, maybe if you went back to the Leaf,…you would remember." He said, his voice deepening in seriousness.

Hinata looked up at him as if he had just said something terribly wrong.

"Go Back…to Leaf…" she paused. "But….I thought it was gone?" she murmured.

Gaara nodded. "Everyone there is…well missing." He didn't want to say dead that would hurt her. "…and it looks as if a war had gone on in there, but we don't know why, who, or how." He answered her, calmly, choosing his words carefully.

Hinata grimaced at his words, "and I am supposed to remember?" she asked.

Gaara bent down on his knees and took her empty hand in his, "…we don't know… but we think you might." He said softly.

Hinata sighed, "Alright. I'll go back. To help you." She replied to his silent question, will you go. Standing slightly she took a tissue from a near tissue box and wrapped her right hand in it, and then threw the tissue away, soon enough exiting the room.

Hinata escaped to her bedroom and went to the mirror. Her eyes were read, and her skin was pale, as if she had just died and come back without a hint of sunlight touched her skin yet. Blinking at her appearance, she touched her face. Running her fingers along her cheek, she grimaced.

"I must leave…" she whispered as she ran her hands down her body form, and then to her stomach. Her hands lingered there, and she sighed looking at herself from the side. Her stomach hadn't changed much, but it had gotten just a little 'bump' to it.

"But I must be careful…" she whispered as she turned towards the wardrobe.

Hinata took her clothes off, and then pulled out a black t-shirt, fishnet cover, and celestial green Capri pants, and her black ninja shoes. She put the clothing on, it tight to her form.

Hinata hadn't worn her ninja attire in so long, she thought she looked completely different than usual. Her lavender eyes scaled the room. She noticed the small gem hanging on the lamp. It was a tear drop shaped necklace hung with a black leather strip, and on the inside, was a sand dollar made from Suna sand.

Wrapping it around her neck, Hinata sighed. Gaara had given that to her many nights before, and she had yet to take it off in public. Picking up her pack, she put her weapons in it, and her dagger wrapped around her thigh.

Getting a long, white cloak type jacket, it was snowing outside, it was cold as hell during the night anyways.

As Hinata was wrapping something up to put into the bag, a knock came to the door and then it busted open without any warning, Gaara came in his face contorted in some manner Hinata could not decipher. His eyes were worried, and his face was angry. His fists were clenched and his chest was heaving.

"Hinata!" he shouted as he came up to her and grasped her wrist and held it with force.

Hinata, confused as to why he was freaking out at her, then noticed his other hand, he held the tissue she had used to clean her hand with. It was covered In blood. Blood from her mouth.

"G…Gaara…Y-Your hurting me…" she said as she glared at him.

"What's wrong with you?" he said in anger. "Are you sick? You coughed this blood up, I know it." He grimaced as he spoke the words.

"Just nerves I swear!" she croaked as she shied away to the window. She was lying to him, because she had coughed up blood for the past month.

"Hyuuga Hinata! You're a liar!" Gaara shouted as he came to her and she could feel his breathing on her neck.

"I can sense that you're afraid, you're hiding something from me, and I will find out what" he murmured into her ear.

Hinata stared out the window and grimaced, as he turned away she turned and growled. "You'll be angry with me either way I do it, tell you or not, so I don't see why its scaring me so much!" she shouted in his direction.

Gaara grimaced at her words and turned to her. "Shut up, Girl. You don't know what you're saying." He retorted angrily.

Hinata stopped where she stood, her eyes widened and her hands started to shake. As much as she hated being called 'girl' she hadn't been called girl by Gaara in almost a year. Ever since the masquerade. It hurt her.

"Bastard." Hinata bit back at him, with shrill in her voice. Her fists clenched, her eyes flashed a slightly darker lavender for a moment and she grabbed her bag with one hand and pushed past him within another moment.

Gaara was confused for a second and then remembered how his tone, can hurt. He followed after her and said. "Look, Hina, I'm just confused right now!" he shouted.

Hinata ignored him. The secret she wanted to tell him would piss him off. Hinata had gone to the doctor earlier, and she found out that she was pregnant. The baby was Gaara's of course, but he was also cursed like Gaara, and Hinata would most likely die at the birth of the child.

Gaara growled at her ignorance. "What's pissing you off so much, huh?" he asked her angrily as he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her, turning her around to face him.

"Hinata, you act as if you just found you were sentenced to die. All I know is that it is NOT the loss of Leaf village that is making you this pissed off, now tell me what the fuck is wrong with you, because it can't be THAT bad!" he shouted as she stared at the ground, he was basically pleading now.

"I'm with a child.." she whispered. "Your child, Gaara." Hinata replied as she refused to look up at him.

Gaara stopped, his heart did, his eyes did, his breathing did. Nothing like this had ever even been imagined to happen to him. So he was shocked, purely shocked. His hand did not release her, but stayed where it was, his body heaved lightly and he shook for a moment and said. "W-W-What?" he stuttered.

Hinata looked up at him, a regretful, smirk hit her lips as she said "quit boy. You're stuttering like a fool." She jerked her hand away from him and stormed off.

Gaara stood there for what seemed like hours,replaying her comment, and what she had told him over and over, and then he snapped out of it and realized exactly why she did not want to tell him, he remembered his mother and everything that happened to her, and exactly WHY his mother didn't want to keep Gaara.

"It's a beast….its a monster! Isn't it!?" Gaara shouted as he stormed outside of the house, and into the patch of land where the carriage was waiting. Hinata turned and stared at him, her lavender eyes, tinted with shame.

"It's a beast and that's why you didn't want to tell me," Gaara grabbed her lightly by the shoulders and shook her, "You didn't want to tell me you were going to kill it because its just like dear old dad!!" he assumed she would kill it, because of what it was like.

Gaara's words harmed Hinata deeply,Hinata lifted her arm and squinted her eyes, glaring at him, slapping him in the face with much force, his face moving to the side with the slap. His eyes widened.

"You idiot!" Hinata shouted. Softening her voice, "I'm not killing our child, Gaara…" she whispered lightly. "Because she is….our child, I will love her,…no matter who she turns out to be…she will be our child!" Hinata whispered as she put her hand on her stomach, a tear hit her face.

Gaara looked over at her, he had been harsh. "I…" he tried to speak but nothing came.

Hinata looked up at Gaara and said with a couple breaths, "I may die in the process, but if I do, Gaara, love. I want you to love her, love her so much. Love our child." She whispered lightly before getting into the carriage.

Gaara followed her, and told the driver to head towards the Konoha.

The drive was weird. But it lasted shortly, the carriage was faster than ever. When they arrived at the leaf.

Hinata kept her mind on her baby. It was moving, she could feel it. Like it was growing faster than it should. Hinata looked at her right hand, a small marking was beginning to appear on her hand, a read, circle, with small tear drop figures around it.

It was the size of the skin on her thumb print.

It had been appearing for days now. Hinata blinked lightly as she stared, the carriage stopped right outside the gates, he couldn't go any further, there was a large obstacle in their way.

Getting out of the carriage. Gaara stared at her lightly, his mind still stuck on the baby as well. Remembering how his father treated him after his mother died, he promised not to do that if Hinata were to pass away.

Hinata gasped and started to cry once again when she saw the village. All the memories she had there were destroyed by something, and she didn't know what it was. Gaara, feeling ashamed that he had brought her here. Came up behind her and put his arms around her shoulders and held her there.

"Gaara….Where's the color ….Where is the color here?" she asked lightly, in a very depressed tone of voice.

Hinata had her way with words when she was upset.

Gaara held her closer and said. "We have to find out, we'll fix it. I promise" Gaara was determined to make sure that the Leaf village was perfect, perfect for the villagers who lived, and perfect for Hinata, and perfect for the baby.

Gaara bent down and kissed her on the cheek.

"Shall we get started, love?"

Hinata nodded and she started walking towards the large obstacle that stood in the way of the gate to the Leaf Village. Hinata expertly climbed it and jumped over, Gaara watched her disappear over it, and soon enough as he watched, he heard a blood curdling scream, Hinata's scream.

An: I hoped you liked it. I hope it was long. I never really know if its long or not by the time I get done writing, it sucks when its not. Ugh. But I hoped I put in enough drama in it like I promised. And for those of you who have reviewed lately, THANK YOU. :
