After much thought I have decided not to change the rating yet.

I feel as though it might distract the plot, but I might change my mind.

I don't own Naruto.

Please review!

Now onwards my dears!


There were no words to describe the unimaginable heaven Hinata was in. Never beyond her wildest dreams had it felt so right to be taken like this. Each breath of air, each sound of pleasure, all of it was too much to take in. But she wanted more, more then she could even think of. Their minds were on overdrive as they continued their blissful activity.

Gaara couldn't remember a night so worthwhile and special. To feel his wife underneath him was a feeling he ever wanted to be rid of. Over and over he claimed her, time after time they whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears.

It was never enough as they explored each other's bodies. It only drove their lust for each other even higher. They both had reached paradise together. They both had found their utopia in an instant. It all felt like a wonderful dream but it was all a reality waiting to fade away as they came back down from the skies above.

Neither of them could speak. Words were not enough to tell of the feeling that they had experienced. They weren't necessary anyway; for each knew what the other was thinking. It was only after they had maintained their shaky composure that they finally smiled at each other.

"Gaara".

"Mmmm yes?"

"I love you...so much".

"And I love you, more then you could ever know".

That one magical night she had spent with Gaara, had lead to her becoming pregnant.

The test she held in her hand confirmed it. She was already nine weeks along. Though it would be a little while longer until she started to show. Hinata was overjoyed that she was going to be a mother, but at the same time she feared the worst. Her child would be the offspring of the Kazekage, a target for many that desired to dispose of their heir. Her future son or daughter was potentially next in line to rule over Sunakagure.

It was all a lot to take in. But first things first, her husband had to know about his future child.

Gaara stood alongside his siblings as they watched an insane Matsuri mumble in happiness that the object of her love was finally here. Normally he would never set foot in a place like this. But it was only out of desperation from his siblings that he even considered checking up on Matsuri's condition.

He shook his head with a scowl on his face. The woman had truly lost her sanity. She wouldn't stop babbling about them being together. Just listening to her was given him a migraine.

Her condition had only worsened since when he last saw her. She was pale and very thin. A sign of the treatments that had been given to her. His guards had explained to him that she had tried to escape nearly three times now. And her excuse was always the same thing. Matsuri wanted nothing more than to be with Gaara and was determined to let it happen despite the fact that she had lost her mind.

"Fucking crazy bitch".

He actually had to agree with his brother's comment. That was the case as of now.

"Gaara-sama you'll never leave me again right?"

He kept his stoic glare as she hobbled closer to him with an insane smile on her face.

"Dear sweet Gaara. How I've missed you so. These guards are so mean to me. They say that I've gone crazy. But you know that's not true". He bristled as she grabbed his clothes. "Tell me you love me? We can still be lovers can't we? I know you want me Gaara. I want you so very much". His sand then removed her and held her back at a distance.

"Temari, Kankuro let us go I've seen enough". He motioned for his guards to put her back in her cell. "Gaara-sama don't leave me! Please don't leave me!" She screamed as she was dragged away and tossed not so gently into her damn cell.

"Gaara-sama, we can make it work! We can be happy. I'll do whatever you want!" She hollered as she watched the man of her dreams walk off with his brother and sister in tow.

Neji was in a bit of a hurry to see his cousin. Ignoring the stares he got, he continued to walk across the village to the center where he knew Hinata was living.

He was here for one reason and one reason only. To bring her back to Konoha. Hanabi had refused to change her mind and with so little time left he knew that Hinata was his only hope of saving the Hyuga from despair. But his absence would mean there was no one to protect Hanabi. He knew that without his presence she was doomed to keep suffering more at the hands of Hiashi but he had no choice.

He had kept walking through the halls trying to locate Gaara when he was suddenly stopped by a rather intimidating looking man.

"Who are you?! What is your business being here?!"

The white-eyed male scowled a bit "I am Hyuga Neji and I have come to seek an audience with Lord Kazekage".

"A Hyuga?! We received no word of a Hyuga visiting".

Neji clenched his fists, he didn't have time to be dealing with such nonsense.

"I assure you I am no threat, is this how all you sand ninja treat guests".

"What was that!"

"Baki, leave him alone that's Hinata's cousin". Baki looked confused for a moment before realization sunk in. "My apologies". He grumbled before storming off. Kankuro gave his usual grin "Well hello there Neji, what brings you to Suna? Seeking out Hinata huh".

"Yes I must see her at once it's an urgent matter".

The puppet master shrugged "If you say so, I'll just take you to Gaara then".

Neji was not familiar at all with Gaara's siblings but he had to time to branch out at the moment. The sooner his cousin came back the better. When they reached the end of a long hallway Kankuro entered his brother's office looking completely relaxed.

"Gaara we have company, a little surprise from Konoha".

The red-head looked up from his paper work and the two males locked gazes; it was almost like they were sizing each other up. This little stare down continued for a few moments more before Gaara broke the silence.

"Hyuga Neji why have you come to Suna?"

"I must speak with Hinata-sama this is important".

Gaara raised an invisible eye brow. "May I ask about what?" Neji hesitated for a moment, truth to be told he didn't actually want to involve Gaara in this situation but he was Hinata's husband and he figured that there wouldn't be any way to avoid telling him. He was a part of the family after all technically speaking.

"I have reason to suspect that the Hyuga are about to have a crisis".

Now Gaara was interested, what kind of crisis? And why did it involve Hinata? "Speak then". He was surprised when the branch Hyuga raised his hand "I'm afraid I cannot. Forgive me but I don't wish to reveal anything unless my cousin is present". The redhead once again raised an invisible eyebrow "Kankuro, please bring me my wife".

Neither of them spoke in the few moments that they had to wait. Gaara knew nothing about Hinata's cousin other then the fact he was considered a genius among the Hyuga. He was well aware that Neji wouldn't come to his village unless there was a problem. And he intended to find out what it was, seeing how it was now concerning his wife.

The silence was broken by the sound of a door and both males turned their heads to see the gentle woman walk in with a nervous expression.

Hinata was a bit startled knowing that her cousin was here so suddenly. She wanted to ask him so many things. Most of them being about her sister. But she would hold back on the family reunion; there were more important things to think about right now.

Neji immediately noticed that his cousin looked well. He knew that she was in good hands, he just never expected her to be doing this well especially with the type of environment that Suna was in. It made him a little happier knowing that at least one of his cousins was safe.

"Neji-niisan it is good to see you again".

He was startled as she gave him a brief hug. "Um...I am glad to see you again as well Hinata-sama". He awkwardly gave her a one arm hug.

The bluenette then walked over to her husband and took his hand. He smiled at her and she smiled back. There was love between them. Something that Neji was happy about but he pushed them aside.

"Hinata-sama I have come to warn you of a very serious issue".

He now had her full attention. "Neji-niisan what has happened?" "It's concerning Hanabi". Hinata gave a small gasp hearing her sister's name be mentioned. She squeezed Gaara's hand a bit before speaking "What has happened? Is she alright?"

He sighed before speaking "Hinata-sama, the day that you left Hanabi became depressed about your leaving. With you gone Hiashi started to train her under his watch for the day she became then next clan leader". Neji thought for a moment to choose his next words before he gave up and decided to just come clean.

"Hinata-sama I'm afraid that Hanabi couldn't uphold your father's harsh expectations. She became enraged that you didn't receive all the credit that you had worked so hard to earn. Hiashi became furious that Hanabi stepped out of line. And now every chance he gets he beats her to no end. I've seen the wounds Hinata-sama some of them are so severe Hanabi is even lucky to still be alive".

Hinata was shaking now. Her body was shaking like a leaf; she couldn't believe the words she just herd. Hinata had always known that her father was a harsh man, but to know that he would go so far and beat Hanabi was one step too far.

Gaara stood up from his chair and wrapped his arms around his wife. Hinata was unable to control her tears as she buried her face in his chest and cried. It was all too much for her to handle; she felt so guilty that she couldn't do anything ahead of time to stop this. Hinata couldn't help but feel this whole mess was partly her fault. Even though she had nothing to do with the decisions that followed when she left.

Gaara was now very concerned for Hinata. He didn't like to see her cry, he tried to calm her down by hugging her tighter it did no good. Words wouldn't do anything so he simply waited until she stopped crying. While he knew of Hinata's younger sister he didn't know her well enough to have an opinion of her. However that didn't stop him from feeling bad knowing that Hinata's younger sister was a victim of abuse.

The bluenette had stopped crying for now, and she turned around with tear-stained cheeks to look at her cousin.

"Niisan...what else had happened to Hanabi?"

Neji's eyes had a look of worry "She is planning to kill Hiashi. She is convinced that if Hiashi is dead then all will be well again. She even told me that she plans to make me clan leader and dispose of the curse once Hiashi is rid of. It's a repulsive idea Hinata-sama. Hanabi will die in the process, I had convinced her to give me three months to work this out. It's already been a month Hinata-sama I would not be here unless I was desperate".

Hinata was in total shock. Hanabi wanting to kill their father?! Absurd! What made her younger sister think that?! There was no way she'd ever be able to have the nerve to do it. Hanabi was going to get hurt, and she knew this but surly there had to be a way to solve this.

"Come back with me to Konoha you're the only one that can stop her Hinata-sama, she won't listen to me".

Hinata turned her head to give her husband a sad look. She knew that Neji was probably right, talking to Hanabi would be useful but she could leave the village; not in her condition.

"Niisan...I can't".

Neji looked a little surprised "Why not?".

Hinata had a few more tears run down her beautiful face.

"Because I'm pregnant".

Both males eyes widened, Hinata was pregnant?! Since when and why didn't she say anything before?

The bluenette faced her husband, the tears starting to come down harder now. "Gaara-dana I am carrying your child within me. I wanted to tell you earlier but you weren't there. I...I can't leave you, nor can I leave Hanabi. I don't know what to do".

It took a moment for the red-head to process that his wife was pregnant with his child. This was certainly a surprise, first he hears that the Hyuga were in the middle of a crisis and now Hinata tells him that she's with child. This was a little too much to take in. But he felt a warm feeling inside that spread throughout his body. He had created a life, he had taken so many lives in the past. But just as easily he had created a life.

Despite the situation Gaara couldn't help but smile knowing that he was going to be a father. Hinata cupped his face gingerly and kissed him, uncaring that her cousin was watching. Her kiss meant that she was happy too but it also showed her fear for her sister.

"Hyuga Neji I'm afraid I can't let my wife travel to Konoha. Not while she's carrying our child".

Neji looked a little annoyed. Yes, he was happy that Hinata was going to have a baby, but she was the only one that could settle this incident once and for all. If she didn't stop this, then no one could and Hanabi would die from her own foolishness.

"I understand, but there is no other way. I have tried everything in my power but nothing has worked. If Hinata-sama doesn't return then the Hyuga will fall".

Gaara's face remained stoic as he held his wife closer to him.

"I know of the difficultly of this burden, and believe me I wish to help. But as Hinata's husband I must to what is best for her. If she was to travel in her condition, it would cause a great amount of stress on her womb and thus damage our child".

The Hyuga male opened his mouth to speak, but Hinata beat him too it. "Please let me go, I must help Hanabi".

The red-head gave his wife a strange look "Hinata your-". "I know". She paused for a moment "Darling I can't leave my sister. I know that it's selfish and rather dangerous for the baby. But I must do something to help Hanabi, if I just sat back and stayed out of it nothing will change. Please my love I have to do this".

He stared into her lavender eyes for a few moments trying to come to a conclusion of some sort. After a while he pressed his lips against hers savoring her taste before speaking.

"I'll let you go, but only if I accompany you. I will not have my wife and future child harmed".

Hinata smiled as she kissed him again. How she loved this man.

"There's no time to waste we must leave at once".

Hinata looked her cousin with a determined look on her face. One way or another she would have to find some way to stop her younger sister from making a terrible mistake that could potentially risk everything.


Sorry for the wait, I've been so stressed lately.

The next chapter will come as soon as I have a spare moment.
