Chapter 3
He glared at his bowl of ramen. What was his heart trying to say to him? Kiba saw him sitting there by the kitchen table, just staring empty out the room and with his right hand on his chest. He stopped in the doorway and gazed sad and concern at Gaara, and for a minute he felt sorry for him.
"Hey Gaara, you okey?" He glanced up at Kiba and he barely nod a yes for an answer.
"Okey, let me know when you want your ass kicked in Super Smash Brother Meele." Kiba laughed and gave a quick grin and went to the little GameCube.
"Hinata-chan! I wanna call that cute blonde… now!" Sakura squealed. Hinata sighed and smiled at her excited friend.
"Wouldn't that seem like you are desperate Sakura-chan?" Sakura smiled with a slight blush on her cheeks. Hinata knows that her best friend had a crush on Naruto.
"Well, I don't know! And don't look at me like that!" Sakura launched a pillow at Hinata and giggles were spread around the room.
"Man… I don't want this holiday week to end. It has been pretty fun. Hinata don't make it stop." Sakura whined.
Hinata just smiles at her. A knock on her door made Hinata and Sakura stop giggling.
"Come in." Hinata said and in came Tenten.
"Hello girls! Wanna go out to the café?" The girls started to giggle again and they were on their way to the best café they knew, Miss Latte.
"What do you want Hinata and Tenten? I can order for us all." Sakura asked them. Hinata suddenly felt the emptiness in her stomach. Her breakfast didn't seem to last for so long, but instead of her tummy, the growl came from Sakura's.
"Hehe… Ops"
"I want a blueberry pie." Said Tenten with a smile. Sakura nodded and looked at Hinata for her answer.
"Umm.. I want a cup of tea and a toast, please." Sakura shook her head at Hinata's formality with a wistful smile.
"Well! Then I go and order."
His ears caught the cheerful girl's voices and looked at his left. There at the café, three girls was enjoyng their time. One of them had her hair in two buns on her head; the other one had a light and strong pink colour and the third…
"Oh! Isn't that Sabaku-san's girl." He walked into the café and stopped in front of Hinata.
"Hello." She blinked and looked up at the friendly boy's face.
"He-hello…" she answered and started to blush a little.
"I couldn't resist admiring such a beauty so I had to go say hello." Sasuke bowed at Hinata. Sakura couldn't look more irritated and Tenten just sat there with her fork next to her mouth like someone had hit the pause button.
"Uh-umm… thank yo-you" Hinata's face became redder as Sasuke didn't look away.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke pleased to meet you..?"
"Hyuuga Hi-Hinata…" Sasuke took her hand and kissed it. Something clicked in Sakura's head and she stood up with such force she scared Tenten so she droped her fork on the floor.
"Hinata, toilet, now." She said, pointing at the ladies room. Hinata got up and started to half run, half walk to the toilet.
"If you excuse us Sasuke…" Sasuke smiled and nodded and started to walk out from the café.
"What are you doing Sakura!"Tenten hissed at her. "She had an opportunity to get a boyfriend you know!" Sakura just shook her head at Tenten and walked to the toilet where Hinata was waiting for her.
'Damn that Uchiha boy! Gaara has to know about this…' He was watching the whole thing from far.
"Sakura-chan… What was that?" Hinata looked herself in the mirror.
"I… don't know. Sorry Hinata but I thought that you loved Gaara?" Hinata hung her head with her hair covering some part of her eyes.
"He doesn't lo-love me you know, and just be-because I said "hello" to a-another boy it doesn't meen I have forgotten Ga-Gaara, I promise." She raised her head and smiled at Sakura.
"Good! Let's take Tenten and go to see a movie! Hows that?"
"I don't know…"
"Please, I want to make up for my behavior, please Hinata, please!" Sakura begged and Hinata couldn't resist the look on Sakura's face.
"Haha, okey Sakura-chan." Sakura smiled and grabed her hand and draged her out of the toilet and sat down with Tenten again and finished their meals.
Gaara sat down beside Kiba who played the Super smash bros meele game. "Kiba?" He laid a punch on Princess Zelda and she was almost out of life.
"Uhuu?"
"Can you teach me how to love someone?" Gaara's words struck Kiba as lightning.
"Wha-what?" Game over "Aww maaan!" He sat back in the couch and sighed loudly. Gaara cloesed his eyes and rested his head in his hands.
"Love huh? You know Gaara that this is freeking me out that you ask but I will help you, I promise. What do you know?" Gaara sighed and opened his eyes and talked in a low whisper so that Naruto couldn't hear anything.
"Actually not too much, okey?" Gaara confessed. Kiba patted Gaara's shoulder and smiled warmly at him.
"Don't worry, but if you don't find my help that supportive, Kankurou could help." Gaara's expression went from a wistful look to a creepy and disgusted one.
"Kankurou, he is like the biggest pervert in the world! If he founds out that I have problems like this he sure gonna give me some lessons and have disgusted thought about me… and he might surely talk about sex, again… I'm not 10 you know!" Kiba smiled nervously at Gaara.
"Ehehe… then you need to know that both Temari and Kankurou are waiting for us."
"What! When?" Gaara was not happy at all.
"I-I don't know!" Kiba hid himself behind a pillow. "Well, then maybe you can have Temari to help you out." Gaara sighed and then glanced at Kiba.
"Thanks, I don't mean to drag you into this and as a matter of fact it's none of your business, but I really need help…" He sounded more desperate then he wanted to. Kiba looked up at Gaara and then gave a big grin.
"Wanna get your ass kicked now?" Kiba tossed the handcontrol to Gaara who took on his challenge.
"You mean your ass is gonna be kicked around by me." Gaara grinned an evil grin.
"The movie was so romantic Sakura-chan. Thank you so much." Hinata took Sakura's hand and squeezed it lightly. Sakura looked at her with a soft smile.
"Hey, what are friends for, ne?" Hinata smiled a shy smile at her friend. They had said goodbye to Tenten outside Hinata's house. She had said that she needed to do some homework that she had got over the holiday. "Hey Hinata, can I borrow your phone?"
"S-sure Sakura, I'll wait here." Sakura made her way from Hinata's room to their phone that they had in the hallway. She dialled the number and in a couple of seconds, a boy answered.
"Yeah, talk too me." Sakura hesitated but then she spoke up.
"Naruto, is that you?"
"Well yes it is, Sakura-san?"
"Yes! Thank God I dialled right, umm can I speak with Gaara?"
"Umm, sure wait a sec. Gaara phone!" Naruto shouted and then she can hear Naruto's voice in the background. "Damn you Gaara, why does every single girl wants him all of a sudden!"
"Who is it?" Naruto sighed.
"Sakura-san!" Gaara made a thoughtful look and glanced over at Kiba.
"Pause the game will you?" Gaara put down the controller and walked to the kitchen where Naruto sat. Sakura heard his voice.
"Here he comes…" followed by another.
"What?"
'Well friendly aren't we?' Sakura thought.
"Umm, Gaara, do you know anyone with black spiky hair?" There was a pause indicating he was thinking.
"… Yes? Why are you asking?" He was getting irritated.
"Well, when I, Tenten and Hinata were at the café a boy in your age walked up to her and started to act all: 'Oh look at me I'm your fairy prince. Let's get married,' kinda way…" Gaara's right eye twitched a little.
'Oookey? Now who's the nut?' His inner self thought.
"Do you know who it can be? Bacause I have never seen him before." Sakura continued. Gaara sighed.
"I-I don't know. I don't have that many friends, especially with spiky black hair and why do I need to know this?" Gaara became a bit worried. Who was this guy… and why did he feel like he was going to loose something precious to him. It bothered him a lot.
"Well, I tought that… you and Hinata were going out together, you know… dating, aren't you?" Gaara hung his head so his red bangs shadowed his eyes.
"No, we're not… Don't bother me with stupid information about Hinata again" Klick Sakura just stood there with the phone in her hand like she had been frozen in time. Then a small smile crept up on her lips.
"Well aren't we in love little boy?" she whispered to herself.
"Who is in love!" Apparently someone else heard her. Sakura turned round and looked Hanabi right in her eyes.
"Well, well, well, who have we here? Hanabi, why can't you do us all a favour and bug someone else? Like an angry bear." Hanabi smiled at Sakura with a spark in her eye that mad Sakura's left brow twitch.
"Hehe, friendly aren't we? Who was that on the phone? Was it Sabaku-kun?"
'How does she know his name?' Sakura thought. "No, It was Hinata's boyfrined, and don't try anything!"
"Hanabi!" Neji called from downstairs.
"What!" Was the only harsh replay she gave to her cousin. Straight away, Neji was right in front of Hanabi and Sakura. "What was that you say?" Neji's eyes flared up and Sakura can see fire burning furiously behind of him.
Sakura was stunt. "That was fast."
"Come now." He said a little angrier now because of her replay. Hanabi sighed, gave Sakura a glare and walked down the stairs with him. Sakura smiled for herself and went back to Hinata's room. Meanwhile, downstairs with Neji and Hanabi.
"What is it Neji-nii-san?"
"Oi Gaara, I kicked your ass at Super smash bros meele, now you need to do me a favour." Gaara looked up from his paper and pencils and dropped the pen he had in his mouth.
"Nani! When did we decide something like that?" Kiba smirked at Gaara's expression.
"Well, you need me for your love problems ne? I'll help you, you help me, fair enough." Gaara grunted an muttered under his breath.
"Why you little… What do you want then?" Kiba looked in their doors direction with a wide grin. Gaara looked at the way Kiba was looking at him and his face went pale. In front of the door sat a whining Akamaru. Kiba looked at Gaara with an amused look on his face.
"You mean…" Kiba nodded with a smug smile on his lips. "Oh no! Hell no! I do NOT pick up some dogcrap from the street! No, no, no, no!" Gaara hissed and put up his hands in front of him.
"Hehe, well then I will just tell Naruto about your little problem." Kiba said in a teasing way.
"Oh no you don't! You wouldn't!" Gaara hissed pointing a pencil at Kiba.
"Watch me." He said, and now when he had control over Gaara, he dared to do such things.
"Kiba! No you don't!" Gaara whispered, pleading that he wouldn't tell the loud mouthed blonde.
"Naruto-kun! Can you come over here please?" Kiba sounded so delighted with himself.
"Kiba! Kiba!" Gaara said in between exhales.
"What? What did you want?" Naruto's presence in the livingroom made Gaara's heart freeze. He darted his eyes from Naruto to Kiba and to Naruto again then he laid eyes on…
"Naruto, did you know that Ga…" Kiba was cut of by Gaara who whistled.
"Akamaru, here boy! You stupid dog! I'll walk you okey?" Oh God he was talking to a dog.
"Why thank you Gaara. Oh Naruto I forgot about what I wanted to say… I'll tell you when I remember." Naruto just shrugged it of and went back to the kitchen. Gaara picked up Akamaru's leash and looked at Kiba who just waved his hand at him. Gaara made a sour face and opened the door so the dog could go out.
He was far away from his stupid friends and far away from the one they think he "loves".
'You love her don't you?' His inner self asked.
'Well, I don't know. When I think about her it hurts here.' Gaara put up his hand to his chest and hold on to his jacket.
'Boy you are stupid.' His inner self scolded. He woke up from his inner debetating and saw that Akamaru had run up to two girls.
"Aw man…" He muttered under his breath. He saw how they bent down to pat the white dog.
"Isn't it cute? Don't you think so nee-chan?" The smallest one said and patted Akamaru's head.
"Well sure he is! Look at him" The oldest one picked him up and hugged him.
"Hey, ask before you pick up someone else's dog okey?" Gaara wasn't harsh and angry when he said this and it surprised himself.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I couldn't help myself." She let Akamaru down again. "Your dog is so cute!" Gaara looked down at the happy dog and then at the girls, he sighed.
"Wanna play with him?" Both girls' eyes lit up.
"Yes!" They said at the same time. The three of them ran of to the frosy sprinkeled grass, and picked up a stick that they throw at Akamaru to fetch which he happily did. Gaara helped himself to a bench nearby and sat down. He crosed his arms in front of his chest and gazed at the happy trio and a tiny smile played on his lips.
