Heaven Ain't So Sweet

Of Meetings and Soccer Balls

Okay, now she had the right to cry right?

In her confusion she had managed to drop her bags, run in a random direction, and end up alone in the middle of the soccer field. Her mind raced through her options. A) Call her father. That was a dud. Her father would say she made it up to get out of the marriage. B) Call Neji. Again, a dud. Her father would be mad at her for telling Neji. C) Sleep on the bleachers and show up the next morning at her new dorm. So far c sounded best.

By the time Hinata scrambled up the aluminum bleachers and sat down the tears run down her face. The pale eyed girl traveled by plane and car to get to this damn school to live with her boyfriend's, well ex-boyfriend's, damn brother and look where it got her. On the bleachers freezing her ass off. Of course her lady like nature made it harder to express these feelings.

Then it hit her, literatlly. A soccer ball hit the side of her head, causing her to fall gracefully to a step lower then the one she had been on a moment ago. Pain shot through her head as she groaned and tried to sit up.

"Omigod! Naruto look what you did to that girl. You idiot!" A loud smack was heard that rang out through the seemingly quiet field. Hinata looked around for the voices as she held the spot where she was hit, rubbing it softly.

A good thirty feet away, on the field, stood a blonde male with the most beautiful cerulean eyes Hinata had ever seen, a blonde female who was running up to the steps toward her, and a cold looking, red haired boy with black rimmed seafoam eyes that caused her breath to hitch in her throat.

The blonde girl now stood infront of her, her face contorted in worry. "Are you okay?!" Hinata nodded and smiled. "Hai, I've been hit harder." Now that wasn't a lie. Neji and Hanabi, being a soccer player as well, had missed the goal and hit her more then a few times. Never on purpose that is. "But your bleeding!" Hinata raised and eyebrow and cokced her head to the side. "I am?" The blonde girl nodded quickly and pointed to her lip. "Come with me!" It wasn't a question. She grabbed her hand and ran back to the two males in the field. "Gaara, fix her!"

Hinata laughed softly behind her hand, forgeting her troubles for the moment. "I'm okay, I just bit my lip." She shook her head and wiped the blood off with the back of her hand then sucked on her bottom lip. The blonde boy smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry 'bout that. I was aiming at Gaara, but I guess I missed." The group was silent for a moment as Gaara glared at the blonde boy.

"I haven't seen you around before. . . Are you the new girl everyone was talking about today?" The blonde girl asked, a little louder then needed. Hinata nodded and smiled politely. "Hai. I-I'm Hinata Hyuga." The blonde boy grinned ear to ear. "Then you know Neji! Come to think of it your eyes are a lot a like." The blonde girl glared at the boy and hit him on the back of his head. "Don't be rude! I'm Ino, and this idiot here is Naruto." Hinata smiled softly looked at the other guy with a small blush on her face. "Aww! Your so cute when you blush!" The two blondes attached themselfs around her in a group hug. "A-ano. . ."

"Oi, you two leave her alone." The two pouted and let go of her. Ino spoke up after a moment. "And the rude one over there is Gaara." Hinata giggled and looked at Ino, watching Gaara out of the corner her eye. "Well Hina-chan, how about we talk while the boys play their little game." And for the second time that night Hinata was dragged off.

And so the headache began. Hinata learned more things about Ino then she knew about herself in ten minutes. She happily nodded her head, saying the right things at the right time. She had to admit though, she'd rather watch the two guys playing soccer then listen to the girl babble on.

"So Hina-chan," Ino began, using her new nickname. "where's your dorm?" Hinata smiled and rubbed her hands together to warm them up, it was just to cold to be outside. "Oh. . . 256." She watched Ino's eyes grow to the size of dinner plates, now knowing mabye she shouldn't have said anything. "Wait, wait, wait, wait. 256? As in Sasuke Uchiha's room?" Hinata nodded slowly, watching for sign's to runaway or cover herself. "No way!" Ino lept up and stood infront of Hinata with a dazzling smile. "Your so lucky! I'd die to get a room with him. But no, I got stuck with that big foreheaded(A/N: I don't know if thats a word. . .) wench." Ino growled and sat back down. "Never mind that. Why aren't you there with him?"

Hinata paused, thinking before she began to talk. "He had a guest. It was only polite that I leave." Ino smiled sadly and hugged the smiling Hyuga. "Aww. Your so sweet. After these guys finish I'll take you back okay?"

'Think fast. Think fast. Think fast!'

Hinata smiled sweetly and shook her head. "I have to go talk to Neji before I go back." Ino sighed and let go of her. "Okay Hina-chan." She smiled and stood up. "Well I'll see you tomarrow, 'kay?" Hinata nodded and waved to her as she went to the stairs. As soon as she was out of hearing distance she sighed and leaned back. 'That was to close.'

Without hesitiation Hinata returned her headphones to their rightful place and flipped the switch.

She was pretty. Gaara had to admit. Her eyes held in innocence that he had never seen, but unlike the other two he could see the unshed tears and the pure sadness that surrounded her. It confused him. If she was new, what had happened in the few hours she had been here?

Mabye that's the reason he stayed after the other two left, to watch her. And to his sad satifaction he was right. Hinata cried quietly as she listened to her music, constantly rubbing the offending tear drops away.

Kami it made him wonder what happened to girl. While his cold mask stayed in tact, his mind was in utter chaos. He couldn't stand it.

Gaara stood from the top of the bleachers and walked down to her, standing behind her. With a smirk he lifted her headphones away and watched her look up at him, sniffing softly as another crystal tear ran down her pale cheek.

Silence held thickly between them before Hinata broke it, her voice weak and frail. "G-Gaara-kun?" Gaara nodded and sat next to her. "Why are you crying?" He watched her nibble cutely on her lip. "I have a problem." He nodded, signaling her to continue. Hinata looked down at her hands and controled her tears. "My father sent me here to be with my fiance." Gaara cringed for some odd reason. "I had yet to meet him, so my father arranged my dorm room to be with Uchiha-san." He cringed again. Uchiha? Hinata looked up at Gaara just as another tear escaped down her cheek. "I don't want to marry Uchiha-san." Gaara watched her calm herself. "Gaara-kun, do you possibly know where Neji-nii-san's dorm is?" Gaara shook his head and stood up. "No. Come to my room tonight." Gaara said more then questioned. Hinata blushed brightly and smashed her fingers together.

"I couldn't possibly do tha-"

"Inless you want to watch Sasuke screw with some girl." Gaara interupted, crossing his arms and stifling a yawn. He heard a weak 'hai' come from Hinata and began walking down steps, followed by a shy Hyuga.

Naruto was already asleep, quite loudly a matter-a-factly when the two reached Gaara's dorm room.

"Take the bed."

Hinata looked up at him and blinked. "Huh? Gaara-kun, I-I couldn't! It's y-you bed and I'm just a g-" He glared at her and that was the end of her babbling. He sat down on a love seat and watched Hinata take off her jacket and fold it neatly before laying down.

The room was silent for a more then an hour before Hinata whispered. "G-Gaara-kun?" Hinata sat up, his black sheets pooling around her pale body. Sure enough, Gaara was still awake, reading silently on the love seat. "Gaar-"

"What?"

She chewed on her bottom lip and looked at him though the darkness wondering vaugly how he could read in the blackness of the room. "A-Ano. . . I can't sleep." In the darkness she heard him close his book and stalk over to her. The bed dipped down as he crawled over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. Hinata's face bloomed with a blush as he dragged her down next to him and pulled the sheet over them.

"Sleep." Gaara commanded. She nodded and rested her head on the pillow again.

It surprised her that this was the most relaxed she had felt since she had arrived at Kohana High. Even more surprising that she was curled up next to one of the most beauftiful male she had ever seen, even if he was a little cold.

And the most surprising thing was with him by her she finally felt safe enough to fall into a dreamless sleep.
