A/N: Sorry I took forever to review. I was busy with housework and school and babysitting. Then I had to write some of my other fics I hadn't updated in ages and then my eyes were hurting.
Anyways here's the next chap!
Please enjoy!

I woke up to the shining sun in my face.

"Oh no the snow!" I said jumping out of bed and running to the window. The snow was still on the ground but melting slowly.

I looked quickly at my clock. It read 10:00am. It was that late?

That means...

I rushed down the hall to Gaara's room and began knocking frantically. No anwser.

"Gaara!" I cried.

Still no anwser.

They couldn't be gone. Without even a goodbye?

"Hinata what are you doing?" my father yelled from downstairs.

"Where is he?" I cried running downstairs my fastest. I passed the living room which was empty. I guess everyone had left early.

"If you're talking about Gaara he left three hours ago." my father replied taking a sip of the warm tea.

"W-why didn't you wake me?"

"Well I would have but Gaara told me not to." "He said you were probly tired enough." "I'm sure you were with all the racket you guys were making last night." he added taking another sip.

I sighed.

It didn't matter if I hadn't had sleep in ten days I would have gotten up to see him off.

"I think your cat has to go or something." My father added standing up and shaking his leg where Snodrop was sitting. I hadn't noticed her before. Wait...when had he found out about her.

"It's o.k you can keep her." he said as if he could read my mind. "Just make her queit down." he said patting me on the head and walking out of the kitchen.

I bent down and picked up Snowdrop and carried her upstairs with me while I got a sweater, then I took her outside and waited while she pranced around. I felt so empty inside. I didn't know I could miss someone this much.

I really missed Gaara's company.

Snowdrop emerged from the tree and looked around. Then began purring softly. She had gotten her foot caught on a twig again. I smiled and helped her out.

She looked at me for a bit then began purring again. I remembered last night. Gaara had been the one to help her.

"Yeah I miss him too." I said picking her up and walking towards the door.

Suddenly I something cold and hard hit the back of my head.

"Ow"
I rubbed my head and felt the snow. I turned around quickly. Neji stood there.

"You threw that!" i cried.

"Once again I didn't know you would start screaming like a maniac." he replied. He shook his head quickly. 'I take that back." "I didn't come here to say anything to hurt you." "Or throw snowballs at you." "I cam to say...sorry."

"Huh?' I asked. By now I was beyond confused.

"About last night is the storage room...I'm sorry." Neji's face flashed red a bit but he quickly lowered his head. "I guess I just like to torment you but I didn't...

Neji's voice trailed off.

He took a deep breath and countinued. "And about the song..." His voice trailed off again. It seemed he was having a hard time saying what he wanted. I didn't get it. Neji wasn't the type to apologize or get really nervous. Something was wrong.

"I wanted to win." he said finally. "So do you forgive me?" he asked. He wasn't looking at me instead he was looking at the ground as he kicked the snow lightly.

"I guess so." I replied.

"Then I guess I'll see you." Neji said sort of waving as he turned away and began walking.

I watched him go.

That was weird.

Snowdrop began squirming in my hands so I hurried and opened the door and dropped her on the floor. She began running around the house like she had been living here for years.

I walked upstairs and showered.

After that I went to my room to brush my hair. Snowdrop had found her way to my bed and she was curled at the edge. When I opened the door she jumped up and began purring.

"What is it?" I asked patting her. She jumped at the feel of my wet hands and pranced on my pillow and began tugging on something.

"Snowdrop stop it!" i said drying my hands and reaching for her. By the time I grabbed her she had already stopped her rampage a long white ribbon with a flower attached to it in her paws. She looked satisfied as she smelled it and began playing with it. Where had that come from? The ribbon wasn't the only strange thing there was also a note by my pillow. I hadn't noticed it before. Had it always been there?

I picked it up slowly and began to read:

Some things are worth waiting for even if you have to wait forever.

So I'll wait to put flowers in your hair.

Flowers in my hair...I remembered reading a fairytale book one time. On the day of the girls wedding there were alot of rituals. Amongest them the guy put flowers in her hair. They were sort of talking to each other through the flowers because she would give him one back for everyone he gave her. Each flower meaning a diffirent thing.

He gave her a Arbutis meaning-Only love. She replied with an Ambrosia meaning-Love returned. He gave her two more flowers a Yellow Lily saying- I'm walking on air and an Primrose meaning- I can't live without you. They countinued this ritual for awhile it was beyond beautiful. I had cried the entire time I read it. I had always dreamed of a wedding like that, but I never thought it would be real for me.

I smelled the letter. It was indeed from Gaara. How did he know that had always been my dream?

I took the ribbon from Snowdrop's paws and examined the flower. It was a White Heather flower meaning - wishes will come true.

I smiled as I held it in my hand. If he was here I'd give him the biggest hug ever. "Why didn't he say goodbye?" I said aloud not particually to anyone.

I sighed and stood up. I dropped the letter on my dresser and stared at it as I brushed my hair. I think I had read the letter over a hundred times before I looked away. I pulled my hair into a poinytail and tied the ribbon around it. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes lowered to my bracelet.

"Neji." I said slowly.

I began to think of his strange apology earlier. It was good to know the song meant nothing. Although I never really thought it did it was just...I don't know. I played the last night over again my head. "I don't know why." The words Neji whispered echoed in my head.

"No!" "I'm not doing this!" I cried clenching my fist.

"Hinata are you o.k?" my father asked creeping the door open a bit and peeking in.

I turned to him a bit embarrassed. "I-I'm f-fine." I said quickly.

"You look pretty." he said looking at my hair.

"T-thank you." I replied.

My father sighed. "Hinata...can I come in?" he asked.

"Uh...sure." I said opening the door wider.

My father stepped inside and looked around. He looked a bit uneasy.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

My father spotted Snowdrop on my pillow. "You let her sleep there?" he asked concern in his voice but I could tell he was only trying to keep away from the real subject. "It's not healthy." he added.

"She's fine." I said.

There was silence. Me and my father stared at each other for a while.

"Is something wrong?" I asked again.

My father shook his head.

Silence again.

"The hokage sama would like to see you." he said finally.

"Me?" Why?"

"I don't know exactly but she said she wants to speak with you alone later on today."

"Alone?"

He nodded.

I sighed. What could she possibly want with me? I would have to wait and find out later.

"Don't worry to much." my father said kssing me on the forehead. "I'm sure everything's o.k."

I smiled. "I hope you're right"

A/N: This chap was short but I have a good reason. I had every intention on making this chap long and finishing it all today but there always has to be drama in my life.
I'm really worried about my dad right now who was in an accident.
I decided to just update now because I may not be online in for awhile.
