Hey guys..i know, I know..i did procrastinate..reason? Just please read the note below. (a must read)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in naruto. But I do wish I own some of the characters like Gaara, Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Temari, Kurenai, Kakashi and Ino. Ok, so pretty much everybody else on the show... but you can't blame me...I think they are all so cool. Especially my gaara-kun..bwahahahahahahahaha!!! Gaara is MINE!!! –No song here...-
"Who are you? And why would someone pick a cemetery for singing purposes?" A cold voice from behind her asked.
A raven haired boy took a step forward. Hinata tried to get away but the boy got a hold of her hand.
"And now, let's see who you really are" he said
He pulled her to a place where the moonlight can shine through. And then he saw...
"What?" a girl with blonde hair and aquamarine eyes exclaimed.
"Yes, temari, you heard that right. You, kankurou and gaara are going back to the leaf." The kazekage said firmly
"But, kazekage-sama..." kankurou tried to counter
"No buts, kankurou! I'm the kazekage and you should be following my orders!" the kazekage said
"Gomene, kazekage-sama...we shouldn't have judged your decision" temari said bowing her head as a sign of apology
"Go now. Start packing your things. You shall leave first thing in the morning." said the kazekage
And with that order, the three of them left the kazekage's office. Gaara let out a "Hn" before he walked out.
He pulled her to place where the moonlight can shine through. And then he saw...
"Noooo...don't!" hinata screamed her heart out. She opened her eyes and she found herself in her own room.
"Huh? It was a dream..." hinata said, she was panting and sweating so hard
She still can't believe it is a dream. No, not a dream, more like a nightmare. If anybody ever saw or heard her, she'll be dead. Not only she will be called a weakling but she will be called the singing dork weakling or probably worse. Heck, she almost got busted awhile ago by that mysterious boy.
"Weird, I haven't seen him before in the cemetery. I wonder what he is doing at that time of the night." hinata said thinking
Then suddenly, loud foot steps were heard rushing through hinata's room.
"Hinata-sama, daijoubu?" a male voice was heard calling behind the door. "Hinata-sama, please open the door!" he said again
Hinata stood up and got off from her bed. She walked towards the door and opened it, revealing the worried face of her dear cousin.
"Neji-nii-san...konbawa...I...I'm okay...please don't worry about me." Hinata said shyly poking her 2 index fingers together...since then it became her habit...poking her fingers when she's shy or when she's hiding something.
"I heard screaming and I don't think it was "okay", hinata." Said neji raising an eyebrow
"I...uh..." hinata tried to explain but she was cut off by an unexpected person.
"I can't believe you can't even handle dreams...hinata-nii-chan." Hanabi appeared from the back of neji
"Hanabi-chan..." said hinata her gaze dropped from neji to the floor. She was so embarrassed that she was screaming like hell just because of some stupid dream. Now, she will even look weaker to her cousin and her sister.
"I'm sorry if I disturbed you, hanabi-chan, neji-nii-san." she is still looking on the floor, not daring to even look at her cousin and her own sister. "I'm okay, please don't worry about me. O...oyasuminasai...hanabi-chan, neji-nii-san...Please go back to sleep." Hinata continued
"Are you sure you are okay...hinata-sama?" neji said curiously asking
Neji knew there is something wrong. By the look in hinata's eyes he could see that she is troubled, afraid and a hint of uncertainty.
"Hai, neji-nii-san. Arigatou demo you shouldn't worry about me, everything is alright here." Hinata said blushing on the concern her cousin is giving her. "He had been so nice to me after the fight he had with Naruto-kun in the chuunin exams." hinata blushed while thinking that..."Naruto-kun" she blushed even harder when she found herself thinking about him again.
"If you said so." answered neji
Neji knew none of this was true. He knew something was wrong. But he figured out that it is not his business. If hinata is not ready to tell him, he should not force her to. Fate has its reasons.
"Ok then, oyasuminasai hinata-sama" then neji and hanabi walked away
Ring....ring...ring.... The alarm clock rang.
"Hn..." sasuke snorted
He planned to wake up early and start training to keep himself physically fit. Unfortunately, his plans for the day were totally ruined. Staying in the house of some unknown stranger is not really a brilliant idea. He stood up, wore his blue shirt and walk towards where the kitchen is located.
"I should've eaten that chicken soup awhile ago." He thought...his stomach growled in agreement
It is not the best kind of food to eat but then he can't argue with his stomach anymore. He opened the refrigerator and started looking up for food. Lucky him, no need to feel guilty. The old man was practically pushing him to eat the food. He picked up the tupperware with the chicken soup, sat at the counter and began to eat.
"Looks like I have no choice." Sasuke muttered
Unknown to him, he was watched secretly by two pairs of eyes.
"Uchiha Sasuke, this is gonna be interesting." The mysterious creature said
A small figure of a boy can be seen from up the roof. The boy's face wears no emotion and he was staring on the sky deep in thought.
"I'm gonna be back in Konoha tomorrow." Gaara thought "I'll see that Naruto-baka...again."
---Flashback--
"Given up yet, weakling?" gaara grinned maliciously
Naruto summoned all his powers to stand up.
"Hn" gaara snorted "You will regret that you ever think of standing up again."
"You still don't get it, do you? Killing is not the way to make ourselves happy nor does it prove anything if we are weak or strong. It wouldn't make us feel better. Fighting for our loved ones and for a precious person is." Naruto said with his big foxy grin
---End of Flashback---
"Precious...person..." he muttered
Kring...kring...kring...
Hinata's eyes opened. She was still in the middle of dream world and reality. She focused her eyes to the clock, guessing that it was where the sound came from. When she finally noticed that the sound wasn't coming from there, she stirred to the left side of the bed, reaching under the pillows where the sound came from. She reveals a telephone but she's too busy with her dreams.
"Naruto-kun...." hinata muttered on the phone
"Naruto?" she heard a female voice say
The voice snapped her back to the reality. "Bad move hinata. Bad move!" she scolded herself mentally
"I...uhm...Sakura-chan..." hinata tried to explain
Sakura smiled inwardly from the other side of the line. She's been hinata's closest friend ever since the chuunin exams finished. Still, even though they are that close, hinata still don't want to reveal to anyone her big crush. Who is that? Take a wild guess. Heck, everybody knew that Naruto was her crush ever since....ever. It is so obvious from the way she looks at him, the way she blush madly when he's around, the way she stutter and the way she pokes her fingers more intensely then before. Who wouldn't notice that? Nobody that is...except him...except naruto. Naruto never notices hinata's feelings for him. Sure, they got closer after the chuunin exams but he's too dumb to notice.
"I guess that's why he's naruto...he'll never be complete without being so ignorant." Sakura was smiling at the thought
"Sakura-chan?" hinata asked
Her voice interrupted sakura's thoughts.
"Oh, sorry, hinata-chan..." sakura responded
"I...I...w-was saying th-that what you he-heard wa-wasn't right. I di-din't me-mean to say th-that, for some re-reason I just did...." Hinata said trying so hard not to stutter but unfortunately didn't accomplish any of that
"Oh, nevermind that hinata. It's not really a big deal." Sakura lied
"Tomorrow is the day then." Sakura thought... She is planning to play matchmakers between hinata and naruto, and she agreed that tomorrow is the day. It will make it look like fate entangled them together as a couple. "Brilliant idea, sakura." she praised herself inwardly
"Oh, okay..." hinata said relieved in sakura's words
She turned to the clock and checked the time. It is says 6:00 pm.
"Do you need anything, sakura-chan?" asked hinata
"I was just asking where we will meet later?" sakura asked her
"Uhm..." hinata tried to come up with an idea
"What about the fountain in the park?" sakura suggested
"That sounds good, sakura-chan." Hinata said and she let out a yawn
"Ok then. Goodbye, see you later!" sakura said cheerfully
"Yeah, see you later." Hinata answered
With that, she hanged up the phone and fell asleep again.
(7:47 am. Fountain in the park)
"I wonder where Sakura-chan is..." hinata stood there in their meeting place looking worried about where her friend was. She took a glance on her watch. 7:47, she is 17 minutes late and she had never been late on her before.
"Going back to Konoha is such a pain in the ass. I can't believe kazekage-sama ordered us to go backhere." Kankurou complained
"Shut up, kankurou. Stop whining like a baby." Temari said irritated
She have no time attending to kankurou's complaints. In truth, she is more than worried about gaara. Temari took a glance at his brother. Gaara was leaning against the wall, eyes closed.
"Gaara-ku..." temari stopped herself before she completed the word. What was shw thinking? This is gaara, he won't appreciate you calling him in "such" names.
Gaara opened his eyes green eyes looking intensely on her. His eyes are deadly and unemotional. Temari was unable to continue, fearing of what's gonna happen next. She got a tingle up from her spine, fear taking over her body. She's trying to calm herself down, not wanting to look weak in front of his own brother.
"..." she tried to find the right words to say
"I'm going for a walk." Gaara simply said... He stood up straight and he started walking towards the other direction.
"Hn..." he snorted
He saw that face again. The face that people on the sand village always give him, the face of the people he killed, the fate that everyone has when he is around. The face of fear and disgust.
You are a monster, how could you not expect that?
"I don't care about them. They are weaklings and its not my problem." Gaara said
Yes little one. In this world, nobody will ever love you and accept you for who you are. No one but me.
Gaara said nothing to this and continued walking wherever his feet is taking him.
Ah...you are looking for the boy, huh? You must never come near him again. He is a liar. He wants to make a fool out of you. He is poisoning your mind.
"That's not true" gaara blurted out
Gaara! You MUST remember that I am the only one who had been there for you. You shall obey whatever I tell you to do. You know that you are nothing without me.
Gaara clutched his head with his hand, not wanting to hear these things. Confused and angry, he is not aware of his surrounding. He is also unawarethat a girl is coming to his direction. He bumped into this girl and he snapped back to reality. He shot her a glare and noticed that she look someone familiar to him. The first thing he noticed from her is her eyes. It looks like...
"That's it" hinata said
She stood up and looked around. She's going to find sakura herself. She is so worried sick about her. She walked around the place searching for the pink-haired girl. She isn't notice that a boy is walking towards her direction, her eyes are too busy searching for sakura. It was too late when she find herself right infront of the guy. She bumped into him causing her to stumble backwards.
"Go-gomenasai..." she apologized
Her eyes were wide in shock when she recognized who the guy was.
"You are..." hinata said
