*Next day *

Hinata awoke to a bright sunny day, she stretched as she began to get up ready to take on the day. This was the very first day where Hinata had finally realized her feelings- the one person who was always on her mind. School would be a great today- or so she thought.

*At school*

Class was pretty much the same as usual, the teacher being crazy and all the students bored out of their minds. Hinata had never been so happy to hear that dismissal bell ring.

'Now I can finally talk to Gaara! Uhm. . ah, I feel like im fangirling in my mind. . .'

Gaara has never been a fast paced person so it was easy for Hinata to catch up.

"H-hi Gaara." Hinata was expecting Gaara to turn to her and smile but all he did was continue walking, Hinata was confused but just shook it off thinking that Gaara probably just didn't hear her.

"Um, hey Gaara?" Once again Gaara just continued walking away from Hinata each time leaving a very confused Hinata behind.

'C-can't he hear me?'

"H-hey Gaara." This time Hinata was able to grab ahold of Gaara's sleeve, she knew this time he wouldn't be able to ignore her, theres no way he could when she was tugging at his sleeve.

Gaara seemed to freeze for a minute until finally yanking his arm from Hinatas gentle grip and walking away in the process. This made Hinata's eyes widen, she was dumbfounded, but more than that she was hurt- hurt because Gaara purposely avoided her,purposely ran away from her, and purposely rejected her. She didn't know what to do, she stood there watching Gaara walk away.

' O-okay Hinata. . d-don't cry okay. . *sniffle* y-you're stronger than this. . .*sniffle* much stronger. . .'

"I guess I'll spend lunch alone today. . ."

At her usual spot Hinata stared at her boxed lunch, the earlier events kept repeating in her mind. How she idiotically kept calling after Gaara and shaking it off as bad hearing, running after him only to get rejected. How could this have happened she thought, when only a few days ago they were all smiles and lovey dovey. Hinata couldn't help but become a bit angry the more she thought about it, she did not nothing wrong and Gaara had no reason to act the way he did. She had to know why he acted so mean, and why he was ignoring her, it couldn't be nothing, with Gaara there has to be a reason.

"Then. . .i've decided, I'll ask Gaara myself." Hinata mentally high fived herself and cheered herself on, she would spend the remaining lunch time she had left looking for Gaara and resolve whatever was going on. Although sometimes, plans change.

"Decided to ask Gaara what?"

Hinata jumped a little, she hadn't noticed Sasuke there, actually she didn't even hear Sasuke walking into her little area. Although, she couldn't say she was happy to see him, after yesterdays events she was more creeped out by Sasuke more than anything, now Hinata was certain she was over him.

"O-oh, Hi Sasuke."

"Did I catch you by surprise?" Sasuke grinned.

"A little, although, Sasuke, I was just about to leave so please excuse me-"

"Where are you heading to, Hinata?" Sasuke managed to grab ahold of Hinatas sleeve just as she was about to leave, all of a sudden Hinata felt like she didn't want to be there anymore, somehow she felt that the kindness Sasuke had given her over the weeks had been an act, could she have been right?

"Um, just heading back to school before the bell rings"

"The bell? You're worried about that? I think, you're worried about something much bigger, Hinata. You seem to be in such a hurry, why don't we talk about it?"

"N-no thanks, I really just want to get back to school."

"The bell won't be ringing any time soon, you don't have to worry about that."

"You can never be too early, Sasuke. Let's go to school together." At this point all Hinata wanted to do was leave, Sasuke was giving off this weird stalker vibe that Hinata wasn't enjoying very much, even the air felt dense and hot, the atmosphere wasn't friendly at all.

"No thanks, I'd rather talk with you."

"S-sasuke, can you let go of me, please?"

"Let go?" Sasuke let go of Hinatas sleeve only to wrap his hand around her fragile wrist and yank her towards him. "Is this better for you, Hinata?"

"Sasuke, let go of me, y-you're acting insane." Hinata struggled to get her wrist free from his grasp, but Sasuke was just too strong.

"Insane? But don't you enjoy our time together Hinata? I know you like me, just a few weeks ago you'd give your arms and legs just to be with me."

"Wh-what?"

"You'd give your heart away for me, I know more than anything you wanted to be with me, after all that's why you talked to me right? Why you blushed when I talked to you, why you stuttered-why you still stutter when I talk to you, all because you like me."

"I- " Hinata was starting to become scared, of Sasuke and everything he was saying. She was so confused, why was he acting like this, why was Gaara acting strange, everything was just so strange. She felt her face get hot and tears welling up in her eyes, she didn't want to show Sasuke her crying face and as much as she tried to endure the tears, she felt it would be to overbearing for her soon. Sasuke was just too scary at this point.

"And don't say you didn't like me Hinata, every. Single. F*** loves me in this school, it's so pathetic watching them run after me, you included. But I have to admit Hinata, you- you were fun." Sasuke grinned as he brought his face closer to Hinata, Hinata didn't do anything but fight against the tears and stare angrily back into Sasuke's eyes. She didn't want Sasuke to know that he was breaking her.

"Watching you and how your feelings grew for me,how you beamed when I talked to you. Heh. Was I the highlight of your miserable day, Hinata? Was Gaara not fun enough to mess with?"

Hinata clenched her teeth, she didn't want Sasuke involving Gaara, her face felt hotter, and slowly felt tears falling from her eyes. She didn't know what it was about Sasuke stare and words that somehow really penetrated her.

"I-I didn't mess with anybody, Gaara, he's-"

"Your toy? Jeez Hinata you're such an idiot. Do you know how easy you are to read? You knew Gaara had feelings for you, didn't you? You knew way before, and yet you continued to obsess over me, and even asked Gaara to help you in order to talk to me, you wanted Gaara to hurt, because it was amusing, right? Because it hurt- because it hurt him."

Hinata shut her eyes, this only caused her tears to run faster down her face, how could Sasuke say this about her? She never thought about it, all those time she fangirled about Sasuke to Gaara, did she hurt him? Did he hurt?

"Stop acting like you didn't know, even after you were so sure you were over me you continued to talk me and go out with me, even after you were so sure you liked Gaara, you continued to go out with ME, because you liked it, the fact Gaara hurt, the fact you had the ability to hurt him, to make him go crazy until his heart shatters like glass, you-"

"Shut up,Sasuke!" Hinata struggled to free her wrist from Sasuke's strong grip, tears rapidly running down her face, salty tears blurring her vision. "Let me go! You're wrong about everything, you're crazy, and I don't want to hear your useless crap!"

"Heh. Girls like you- disgust me." Sasuke grinned as he slowly let go of Hinata's wrist, the bell slowly ringing like clockwork, as if the world wanted Hinata to suffer the pain of Sasuke's harsh words. Sasuke walked away, leaving a broken Hinata and her thoughts behind.

'D-did I hurt you Gaara? Is Sasuke right? Was I blind of my own actions?'

Hinata sobbed as she curled up against the tree, bringing her knees to her face and let the tears run down. All she could do was cry at the moment. At the moment she had nothing, no fake friendship from Sasuke, and no Gaara to console her, her most important person didn't want to talk to her, at the moment she was-alone.

Hinata woke up, her eyes slowly adjusting to her surroundings, all she saw was darkness, but it was beautiful. She could see the shadows of the cherry blossoms, and although all that was surrounding her was darkness, she felt everything was so clear.

' I missed the whole day of school. . .damn it, I let Sasuke get to me. . .he must have been laughing when he saw I was absent the rest of the day. . .I'm such an idiot. . how could I have fallen for Sasuke? How did I believe his phony act. . .i'm such an idiot. . .I wonder if that's why Gaara hates me, because I still went out with Sasuke after I decided I like him, not Sasuke. But. . .how would he have known? I-I, I just wanted to reassure myself I was over Sasuke, I never wanted to hurt Gaara, I-'

Hinata was at a loss, what would she do now, should she apologize to Gaara? But for what? What if he had a different reason he was mad at her, how would Gaara had known she went out with Sasuke one last time after he confessed to her. Could Sasuke have told him? Maybe he made up a fake story, she did nothing wrong after all, right?

"I'm an idiot. . ." Hinata sighed sadly as she picked herself up and dusted herself off. She slugglishly walked out her area and towards the Konoha streets where she began to walk home. She just wanted to go home and sleep and just keep to herself.

"Hinata! Where have you been? Do you know what time it is? As your cousin I was worried sick, what if someone kidnapped you?! That-"

"Im sorry,Neji. I got lost"

"You, got lost?" Neji raised his eyebrows in concern, he loved his cousin and he knew something was bothering her, he felt he should leave her alone, mostly because he didn't know how to handle these kind of situations.

Up in her room Hinata drifted off to sleep where Sasukes words continued to run in her mind. For a girl heart break is a grand thing, to others and others around them it may seem small but to the one with the shattered heart it seems unbearable. The worst part is although she wasn't directly rejected, and Gaara never actually told her to leave him alone, she felt dumped, by Gaara and Sasuke, and used. Used by Sasuke, she felt like an idiot. She was being played this whole time and she just smiled and went along with it. Hinata's heart ached, she felt embarrassed, she felt abandoned, she felt like her heart was no longer made of organs but of glass, a fragile glass heart that has been dropped and shattered.

"It's time to get over him. . ." Hinata sighed, "Gaara. . ."

*The Next Day* ~GAARA'S POV~

The next day Gaara went to school, unhappy as the day before. Though, he was starting to feel bad about leaving Hinata yesterday, he needed some closure, he wanted to know why Hinata went on a date with Sasuke again. He couldn't go through the day not knowing.

As Gaara walked into class he noticed Hinata wasn't at her seat, he raised a non existent brow wondering where she could be, she was always on time and by now she would be sitting down. Gaara took his seat and put the thought behind him, he was still mad at her after all.

"Gaara."

Gaara looked up only to see Sasuke standing beside his seat. Gaara lowered his head back down, he could care less about what Sasuke wanted to say to him.

"You're welcome."

Gaara looked back at Sasuke, confused about what he had apparently thanked Sasuke for. "What are you talking about, Sasuke?"

"I saved you from Hinata. For that, you're welcome."

"What?"

"I made sure she didn't mess with us anymore, she won't hurt you anymore Gaara. Thanks for letting me play with her, she was fun while she lasted."

Gaara clenched his teeth, what was Sasuke talking about, everything sounded dirty to him and at this point he wanted to punch his face in.

"What the f*** are you talking about? What did you do to Hinata?"

"Nothing, I simply talked to her… until, she broke."

"I swear I'll f****ing kill you Uchiha, did you touch her?"

"Relax, don't worry about her anymore. If you're looking for another suitor I heard Sakura gets around."

"Did. You. Touch. Her?"

"Barely, she was crying too much, wasn't very attractive"

Gaara grimaced, he wasn't all too happy with Sasuke's response or the fact she was crying and the biggest possibility that Sasuke caused those tears.

"You'll die." Raising his fist and putting in all the force he had Gaara swung his fist right into Sasuke's face. Causing Sasuke to fly backwards and crash right into the desks behind his, his body tangled in the chairs.

"Oh my gosh, he hit Sasuke! What the f*** is your problem Gaara?!" Fangirls ran to the unconscious Sasuke.

"He should be dead." Gaara rushed out the class, he thought the worse could have happened to Hinata, what could have Sasuke done to her? Why was she crying? Why, why, why ?

'Damn you, Hinata.'

Knock Knock Knock

"Gaara?"

"Neji! Is Hinata here?"

"Uh. . ."

"Tell me."

"I think you should leave Gaara."

"Neji, is Hinata there? I'm. . .worried. She wasn't at school."

"Yeah. She's here. Goodbye now." As strong as Neji was, Gaara was even stronger, he was able to push his way through quickly moving up the stairs and straight towards Hinata's room.

'She, she is here. . .'

Staring at the sleeping Hinata made Gaara feel relieved but very sad at the same time. He was still very confused about what Sasuke said, why did Hinata cry?

Gaara slowly closed Hinata's door, the clicking sound of thedoor made Hinata stir in her sleep, she cuddled up closer to her blanket, Gaara couldn't help but smile.

"Damn you,Hinata, how am I supposed to get over you when I like you so much. . ."

"G-gaara?"

Hinata slowly opened one eye her vision adjusting to the image in front of her.

"G-gaara!" Hinata quickly sat up, she wasn't sure if she was dreaming or hallucinating.

HINATA"S POV~

Gaara averted his gaze from Hinata, he didn't want to stare into those eyes that hypnotized him so much.

As for Hinata she felt her face warm up and felt the tears quickly welting up in her eyes. She wanted to just burst out crying, but this wouldn't help her.

"Gaara I-"before Hinata could even begin her sentence he felt a warmth embrace her small body. He was hugging her, Gaara was hugging her. Such warmth brought tears to Hinata's eyes and couldn't help but bathe in the warmth of the person she cared about most.

"I thought he hurt you. . ."

"H-huh?"

"Hinata, I thought Sasuke had done things to you, I couldn't think straight. . ."

"Gaara, you. . ." She was so happy that he worried about her, she was so happy. If this was a dream she didn't want to wake up. She felt the tears running rapidly down her face, the tears staining Gaara's shirt. "I'm so sorry Gaara!" Hinata was blubbering now, she couldn't help it anymore, she felt she had betrayed him while Gaara only showed her kindness.

"Sorry?"

"You must hate me, Gaara. Th-the day we went out- th-the day you confessed to me, I-I went home, a-and Sasuke came k-knocking at my door. . .h-he asked me to go walking with him, a-and I said yes. B-but I swear it wasn't a date, I-I just l-like you so much, I-I wanted to reassure myself and confidently say I was over Sasuke,th-that's why I agreed to go walking with him, I-it wasn't a date."

Hinata continued blubbering into Gaara's shirt, but it was all too clear to Gaara now. Sasuke had played both of them, he tried to turn them against each other just for Sasuke's amusement, this is what Sasuke always wanted.

Though right now, all he cared about was about Hinata, the fact that she was okay and the fact that she admitted she longer liked Sasuke but him. All the feelings, the butterflies Gaara felt in his stomach. He thought this as love, this must be it, because at that moment all he wanted was Hinata to be with him.

"Hinata, I'll forgive you. . .if you promise to be my girlfriend."

"H-huh?" Hinata rubbed her eyes, tears still falling from her face.

"Promise me."

Hinata was speechless, how could Gaara forgive her so fast? Wasn't he angry like Sasuke said he was? Wasn't he disgusted by her?

"You, you still l-like me, Gaara?"

"No, Hinata." Hinata's heart droped as Gaara tried to gain his courage, these words he was about to say came from the bottom of his heart, and he would never say it to anyone else but Hinata, the most important person to him. "I love you."

Hinata felt her eyes widen, tears blurring her vision once again, silently hitting the sheets of her bed. Was what she heard real? Did Gaara say she loved her?

"Gaara …" At this point Hinata just threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, she felt tears run down her face, but she was just so happy. She was so sad just a day ago but Gaara alone was able to make her so happy, it was like he was taking every little fragment of her shattered heart and patiently putting it back together.

Hinata locked her eyes onto Gaara's, she wanted to make sure he knew, she wanted to make sure that he knew her feelings for him. "I love you too."

Gaara never felt so warm inside, he smiled, what a cute smile Gaara always had, a smile that was foreign to most, but well known to Hinata, a smile that made Hinata weak at the knees. Their faces slowly inched closer to one another until their lips finally met in a warm, embracing kiss.

Knock Knock Knock

"Hey. . .you guys better be keeping it G rated in there. . Don't make nii-san go ninja on you."

Hinata blushed, but she smiled and Gaara embraced her once more. She knew Gaara was the only for her, the only person who could keep her glass heart safe . She was complete.
