Hi! I'm back. Sorry for such a long break. But I didn't feel like typing. (Lame yes. Truth also a yes.) I got into my shop: I got into Programming and Web!!!! I'm so happy! And I even have some friends in there, so it's all-good.

Author's Note on bottom again. Don't kill me!!!!

Please review! (Maybe send me a cookie if I did well…?)

Magnetic Attraction: Angel and Demon

Gaara could feel Hinata's heavy head leaning on him, her eyes half lidded as she adjusted to the blaring brightness. Patting her tenderly, he lifted her head up from off of his shoulder, and said, "Hey Sleepy Head we're almost home. You might want to wake up or else you might fall out of the car upon stopping."

Hinata shifted closer to him and groaned loudly, burying her cold face into his arm. She clutched the soft fabric of his blue shirt, nuzzling in like a child seeking solace and warmth from someone that care about. Gaara smiled faintly, and pulled her away, ghosting his fingers along her pale face. "We'll be back at your mansion soon, so no worries righ?"

That got her attention. Hinata quickly blinked back salty tears, the harsh sunlight streaming in from the window blinding her. Rubbing vigorously, she asked, "Are we going back home, to Hyuuga mansion, right now? Don't you think Father will throw a fit if he sees me back in the house? I wasn't supposed to come back you know, especially only after a few days or so. The stay was supposed to be permanent." She was serious but a yawn burst forth from her gaping mouth and she couldn't help but giggle girlishly, covering it with her hand to hide her smile afterwards.

From the drivers seat, Neji perked up. "I thought that maybe you could stay with Gaara and his family for the time being." The shocked glances from Hinata and Gaara made him clarify his statement, looking at them from the mirror in the front. "Uncle would be pissed and more than likely violent if we bring you back without so much as a word of warning. Not to mention the fact that the first place that your mom's family would look is back home, where you should be. It's only temporary, until we can either get Hiashi to accept you back into the family or house or…"

"…Or what?" Hinata asked shakily, while Gaara stroked her messy hair soothingly, calming her down. She smiled at him, and he patted her again. She was special to him, more than anyone else ever was, or would be.

Neji rubbed the taut skin along his forehead, irritated at the public display of affection and Gaara. "I don't know. Our rescue attempt was half assed at best. The plan was made at the last minute. It was more a desperate attempt than anything."

"At least we did something," Gaara said defensively. "If we had let her stay there, they might have made her become a whore or something. Don't tell me that that doesn't bother you in the least?"

Neji snorted. The answer was clear to everyone in the car so he didn't bother to say anything more on the matter.

Hinata turned to face Gaara, whose weak heart was beating erratically from her close contact. "Is it alright if I stay with you and your family? I don't want to impose on you again. I mean you did save me from hell and I don't want to seem like I'm a moocher or anything."

Gaara nodded, not daring to speak. She was going to live with him, even if it was just temporary.

"It's all set then." Neji pulled out from a stop sign, the bags under his eyes very visible. He hadn't slept in hours.

Hanabi yawned and rolled over. She cursed loudly when her head banged the compartment that separated the driver's and the passenger's seat. Gaara had wanted to be with Hinata, so he swapped his seat with hers while she slept.

"Everything will be fine now," he whispered to Hinata, wrapping her head with his arms and holding back the urge to smother her with kisses.

"Where is your house again?"

Gaara instructed Neji slowly, and Hinata sat up. Gaara missed the warmth Hinata radiated.

"Finally," Hanabi breathed out, stepping out of the car, and stretching. Several bones cracked, and she sighed with relief, while Gaara withheld a cringe. It reminded him vividly of all the times he had had his own bones broken. Neji rolled his eyes.

"Gaara!"

The teens saw only a blonde flash mixed with blue before said flash glomped Gaara. Sighing, he patted the flash's back, saying, "I'm fine Temari. Really. No need to smother me, or kill me, if you have either of those ideas lodged in the your brain."

Temari's sudden change of mood surprised him, as he felt a sharp stinging pain from where her palm met his face sharply. Blinking stupidly, while Hinata gasped, he lifted his hand to his face, feeling the skin start to swell under his touch.

"Why the hell didn't you wait for me to come home before you left? Leaving Kankuro to give me that message was not a smart thing to do, you idiot," she hissed under her breath. Her teal robe was open, exposing her tank and short shorts, but her eyes were fixed on her little brother.

"I'm sorry," he said, rubbing his cheek, while boyishly squinting his eyes.

Temari's eyes softened. She had played mother to him for far too long. "Ah, god dam, you're too cute to resist sometimes." Gaara let her crush him into another breath stealing hug, while the others snickered in the background, Hanabi not bothering to conceal it. "PMS is your enemy Gaara. If you do something don't do it when I'm due for my period. Always remember that." Temari winked dangerously at him, while she sauntered over to the shaking Hinata, who was blanching at the point blank way she talked.

Bowing low to the ground, Temari grinned, making her seem younger and livelier. "You're one lucky girl, you know that? Gaara wouldn't do that for just anyone so you better appreciate this little stunt he pulled behind my back. Or else something bad will happen," she warned.

Hinata smiled radiantly, and Gaara felt his cheeks flush lightly. "I know. He really makes me feel special. He's become one of my best friends."

Holy shit, my plan is working, Gaara thought, almost shaking in happiness. Clutching the scar on his forehead, he smiled awkwardly and grabbed for Hinata's hand, savoring the softness of her skin-and the expression on her face.

Neji eyed him, but kept his mouth shut. Gaara nodded at him, and the Hyuuga prodigy just shook his head. Gaara could tell he was itching to tear him from his cousin, but the ordeal of getting Hinata back, made him rethink it.

"Come on," he said, dragging her behind him towards the stairs, "I guess you can take my room for now."

Neji and Hanabi waved at her retreating back, both feeling depressed-and lonesome. Hinata was only with them for a short time, and now she was back in the clutches of Gaara, the one person who could truly take her away from them. Shaking his head sadly, Neji squinted at Hanabi. "Come on, we have to get back. I think Uncle must have thrown a major fit by now, if not a downright temper tantrum."

"Yeah. I guess you're right." Hanabi opened the door and climbed in, buckling her seat belt.

"Do you think he really loves her?" Hanabi asked, while Neji rubbed his dropping eyes. Hyuuga's can deal with lack of sleep right?

"If not love, than what could it be?" he asked snappishly, jerking the steering wheel to make a sharp turn.

"…"

"Don't ask stupid questions."

"You're impossible you know that?"

"I get that a lot. Get used to it."

Gaara popped a movie into the wide screen tv, placing the buttered and salted popcorn in Hinata's lap. Temari stretched for some and curled up on the chair, sitting sideways.

"I hate previews," Gaara whined, slumping in the couch by Hinata. He fast-forwarded through the previews, his head almost on Hinata's shoulder. She nudged him.

"What?"

"Want some popcorn?" she handed some to him, her fingers shiny and sticky from the butter. She licked it off, and Gaara had to turn away from the sight. He moved closer, leaning on her. She didn't move, so he stayed put.

"Good, I've been dying to watch this," Temari said, throwing a kernel at Gaara's head. He flipped her off. "Don't be mean to your big sister," she warned, glaring at him.

"Shut up the movie is starting," Gaara said, reaching for more popcorn. Eating it, he watched the actors' names scroll across the screen.

Hinata let her free hand rest on his lap, her face turned to face the screen directly. Gaara reached out and grabbed her hand, entwining her fingers with his.

Love works in such weird ways sometimes. I mean I started out stalking her, made friends with her, saved her from her hell of a family pit, and now here we are, cuddling up on a couch while Temari is watching. I love her so much, letting go at this point would hurt too much, but if it helped her I would. I guess this is what love is, Gaara thought, the movie finally playing. The first scene caught his attention, but did not direct him away from his thoughts. Maybe one of these days I should tell her I used to stalk her…on second thought, hell no.

"So he has returned back home with her unharmed, I see…"

"Yes that is what the report stated. I don't see why he would care so much about such trash, but then again, he has always been such a disgusting child. Whoever puts him out of his misery, will be my savior that is for certain. I think a major payment would be in hand for that particular person. "

" I see. I feel the same way. Hinata is nothing more than a cheap bit of lovemaking, a mistake I wish would never had happened and would erase if I could. Hanabi, she is worth every bit of the attention I lavish on her. She will make a worthy honorable heir, though Neji would have done quite well. He is smart for his age, a good example for all. However, the heir has to be one of my own, though he feels almost like a son to me. Hanabi is undeniably the only choice for Hinata is entirely out of the question."

"I see what you mean. Though I have two other children, both of them ten times the worth of the youngest. Though all of them have totally rejected my profession and have turned their back on politics all together, choosing to chase after some half assed careers. Shame really. Temari would have made a good-if not awe inspiring lawyer. And Kankuro, though not bright, might have made a good mayor. He always seems to do well with publicity stunts and what not. "

"True. That would have been a sigh to see, those older kids of yours."

"Oh well. So the plan…"

"Will go down tomorrow night. Gaara and Hinata will both be exterminated."

AN/ yes I took a long time to update. Sorry about that.

I didn't know how long it takes to get from one side of Japan to another. So I said a day. Sorry if that's wrong. I'm not changing it though, cause that's the timeline I have established.

YEAH! So Hinata has sincerely warmed up to Gaara and Temari. Again, not much of Kankuro. Oh well. Sorry to you Kankuro fans.

I don't know how many more chapters there will be, but this story won't be going on for too much longer.

Don't worry. I haven't forgotten about that bonus, Hanabi and Konohamaru chapter. I will get to it eventually.

Please review!
