Chapter 2 I Don't Know You
Gaara walks in a fast pace, getting closer to the woman, he saw her stop by the corner of the shop and a man with a large dog embraced her. He felt a slight betrayal and jealousy as he saw her smiling pleasantly to the man. The man puts his arm around her shoulder, and it bothered Gaara when she didn't shrug it off. Pushing himself through the crowd, he neared himself to the woman, getting closer. "Good afternoon Kazekage sama!" many of the villagers said, he ignored them. His attention focused on his prey. He stood in front of them, his heart beating loudly and fast.
"Hinata," he called in a strong low voice, Kiba and Hina looks at him wide eyed. "Hm? Hinata? Kiba, who's he calling?"she asks him, sweat trickled on the side of his face. "I don't know," Kiba lied as he nervously walks away pulling her behind him protectively.
Her eyes were lost and confused as she stares at the mysterious man who carries a gourd strapped to his back. In disbelief, Kiba tries to distance the closeness of the three, he pulled Hina away. "Let's go home." He tries to shield his face from Gaara, and tugged Hina's arm. "Who is he? What does he want with me?!" Hina exclaimed confused. "I don't know, let's go!" He pulled her arm a little too harsh, and it made her squeaked in pain. "Ow, it that hurts! Kiba!" She stubbornly tries to take her hand back from Kiba, refusing to leave. "Kiba, you promised me that I can stay outside today!"
"Please Hina, we must go!" he pleaded to her, she looks disappointed. "A-all right, Kiba!" He forced a smile to her and determinedly held her arm in a death grip walking and running from Gaara with Akamaru following behind. "Arf!"
"A man and a dog, some how it seems as if I know them," Gaara thought as he paced through the crowd. Kiba and Hinata were already too far away, besides, another private messenger spots Gaara in the area. "Kazekage sama, the meeting's about to start, everyone's waiting for you." Stopping, he glared at the messenger unknowlingly, he was pissed off. The messenger cringed back, afraid of the Kazekage. "S-sorry that I've offended you," the messenger muttered.
"Tell them I'll be there."
"Yes sir."
Gaara's eyes were still following the two that were about to flee from him, Kiba was frantically pushing through the over crowded shops desperately pulling Hinata behind him. Akamaru was in front, barking and making way for his master. Hina turns her head around one last time, "Gomen nasai!" she called out to him as she was being pulled away by Kiba and Akamaru. "Kiba, he seems to know me, is he part of my past? Is he someone I'm close to? Why are you running away?"
'Because I don't want him to take you away damn it!' Kiba thought angrily to himself, he cursed the arrival of Gaara and himself for not thinking. "Tried to warn you master," Akamaru said, Kiba understood his companion and gave an apologetic look at him. "Sorry Akamaru, you're right, I've should've listened to you."
"Gaara's here to take what was originally his," Akamaru whispered in a language that only Kiba can understand, the slowed down into a fast frantic walk, Hina was still hesitating and stops at some periods of time.
"No. I'm not gonna let him take her back," Kiba answered too over confidently. Akamaru barked disappointedly to his master, even if he was a dog, he knew that this would be trouble. "Kiba-"
"No, I've made my mind, Hina's gonna become my mate! Not that Gaara who's left her to die!" Hina looks at both of them confused, she couldn't understand the language of the dogs. "Kiba, maybe we should tell him it's all a misunderstanding!"
"No! Hina, never! Promise me you'll never meet him," Kiba hissed lowly, she gasped to protest. "Kiba-"
"Never speak to him! Got it! Hina! If you do, if you ever walk away from me, I'll make sure that you don't ever go outside again!"
Kiba never snapped at her before, this was the first ever since she's waken up from her injury two years ago, he has been surprised and talk loudly, but never shouted at her with hatred. Tears began to form in her eyes, when they reached their apartment. Kiba pulled her into a tight protective embrace, his arms squeezing the life out of her. He whispered to her ear and leaned on her, "Hina, I want to protect you, do you know? I can't let anyone take you away from me again!"
He deepened the embrace making Hina gasp with surprise."Hina, promise me that you'll never speak to that man we met earlier today, I don't want him to hurt you again," he said more gently and softer this time, she whimpered over the pressure of the embrace, somehow seeing that man today made her feel so sad. She doesn't understand why Kiba wouldn't allow her to get close to him. Kiba finally loosened his hug and lets her go, she slid away from him almost immediately, yet, hesitantly. "Kiba, I don't understand, are all humans dangerous except you?"
"Hina, listen, never trust anybody else but me.You never know who will strike next."
"Kiba, I only trust you! But I feel-" Hina grabs his arm, he turned to look at her.
'Sorry Hinata, I must make you suffer,' he thought while gazing into her tearful eyes. "I can't let him take you back, not after we've made it this far."
"Kiba, please don't get angry, I promise that I won't meet him, just don't get angry!" she begged, she was rewarded with Kiba's toothy grin. "I'm not angry Hina chan, just worried." Hina smiles as she wipes away her tears, she acts so innocent. "Not knowing what's going on, she's suffering because I want her so much, she's the only thing precious to me, besides Akamaru," he thought to himself silently. "But I won't let her suffer, I won't let Gaara take her, after how poorly he'd taken care of Hinata. It's because I love you Hinata, did you know that?"
She slid her hands into his and held it, Kiba grasps her hand making sure that she would never let go. "Kiba, you know what's strange, he has a red kanji tattoo on his forehead, it says love." Kiba closed his eyes and listens to her, she sometimes remember something and then loses it. "Red kanji, I've seen it somewhere." His grip tightened on her hand, she didn't recoil but was stunned. "Oh well!" Her happy attitude was back and she tugged on his hand, urging him to follow. "Kiba, c'mon, you've been through lots today, you need a break."
"What?" he asks as she pulled him inside their home, he closed the door behind him. "Don't worry about me, I won't go anywhere," she promised as she pushed him down on the couch and tossed a blanket on him, "Just sleep."
"Hina-" He received a glare from and he shrank back, he'd never seen Hina glared like that before. "All right, I'll sleep." Satisfied, she stood and walked out of the room, Kiba gazed his her back. 'Hina chan, you're more stronger now, I need you so much. What would I do without you?' he thinks solely to himself.
"Lock all the doors," he said as she disappear in the room behind her. "I will," she called back to him, he was soon taken by sleep.
She began thinking again, about when she first met Kiba. He said that she was lost and attacked, so he came to rescue her. In return, he's allowed her to stay with him, he told her to call him "Kiba." She was told that her head injury made her forget who she was, she remembered the day when she'd just woken up. Hina was cutting some radishes for lunch, as soon as Kiba wakes up he's going to be surprised, at least she'd hoped so. Thunk, thunk, thunk The sound repeats as she sliced the vegetables.
Hina's Flashback
Her eyes fluttered open, she didn't recognize where she was. Her head hurts like hell, she felt the blankets covering her being pulled up. "No, stay still," he heard a gentle manly voice said. "Everything's gonna be fine."
"Where am I?" she asks, the first thing that came into her head. "You're, you're with me, Kiba. Are you all right?"
"Kiba? Who's that?" Her vision was still unclear, and when it did became more clearer, she didn't know who she was with. "Y-you mean you don't know me?" Kiba felt betrayed that she didn't know the closest person she grew up with. "No, I don't." She tries to remember but something blocked her way, "Don't try so hard." Kiba clenched his teeth as he pushed her down onto the bed, "Please get some rest."
"What happened to me?" she asks confused and afraid, Kiba shushed her and explained. "You were attacked, I came to save you. You will not remember but I will protect you." You feel that injury on your head? You have a headache because someone was trying to hurt you. You're safe now," he said comfortingly. "All right."
"Don't worry, Gaara won't find you here." Confused, she opened her eyes and stared at him, "Gaara? Who's Gaara? Is he family? Or was he the one who attacked me?" Kiba hesitated and cleared his throat, "No, nothing, if you don't know him then forget about it. Do you know anyone?" She shook her head, "I don't even remember who I am, I don't think I can remember my name."
"What is it?" She closed her eyes, trying to gain some of her memories, there was a flicker in her mind, and then she found the name. "Gaara, it's a name."
"Gaara? There's no one such as him, I think you're trying to hard."
"D-do you know my name?" she asks him raising her eyebrow, she pushes herself off the bed. "Your name?" Kiba hesitated, trying to think of a way to get out of a situation like this, "You're name. It's Hina Izuuka"
he said almost too quietly. "Hina Inuzuka, I never knew I had such a nice name." Kiba faked a smile and felt a little guilty for lying, being with her will be worth it for him though. "Yeah, and I'm a boyfriend of yours." She blushed at such a statement, she knew the meaning of the word. "Boyfriend"
"Yes, and call me Kiba."
"Kiba," she repeated with admiration and self confidence.
"Ow," she cried softly not wanting to disturb the sleeping Kiba, she had ran out of radishes to slice, and accidentally cuts her finger, the blood seeped down her wound. "Love," she said remembering the kanji tattoo on his forehead, she looks at her bleeding finger, "The tattoo was red, like blood." She ripped a small piece of cloth and wound it around her finger, it left a fresh bloody mark. When the bleeding stopped, she laid it down on the table and searched the fridge.
"Meat, I need to find some meat," she murmured. Hina opened the refrigerator door and found nothing, she sighs tiredly. "I think I'll have to go out and buy some," she thought wearily. She checked on Kiba who was still sleeping soundly, yet restlessly, she smiled and walks to the exit of the apartment house. "I won't speak to him Kiba," she mumbled, feeling a little strange to use his name. "I won't trust anybody but you." Akamaru was also asleep in the corner of the room, his nose twitched when he found her leaving. "I leave this to you foolish humans," he thought ignoring her.
He saw her rushing out of her house, "She is alone. Not with that bastard." She turned at the corner and walked straight ahead, unaware of her follower. "She has Byakugan, yet, she doesn't even though I'm here," he thought with a unsure expression, he followed her and stopped when she entered the Butchery. "Damn, I'll have to wait, just to get a little closer." Butchery, he guessed that she was probably buying meat, to make dinner. "Dinner," he muttered, he was drawn back into time when his wife first cooked for him.
Gaara's Flashback
"Gaara sama, what would you like today?" she asks him with a soft gentle smile, he stares at her in embarrassment as he cleared his throat. This new experience felt strange to him, his wife willing to prepare him any dish he wants. "I, it doesn't matter, prepare what ever you want." Hinata beamed, her eyes glowing with exitement. "All right, I hope you like to eat, because it's my specialty!" He stares at her hands as they work fast, cutting and slicing pork and vegetables. He looks at her beautiful face, thinking as she skillfully and thinly sliced the pork, she smiles when she saw the hidden impression in his eyes.
"Sukiyaki, dear, would you like to help?" He stared at her again, adoring her caring loving face. He hesitantly shook his head no, she giggled at him. "Come on Gaara sama, try it, I want to see how good you are at cooking!"
"I've never cooked before," he muttered, but that did not stop Hinata from making him. "Do as I say, now!" He winced at the fake harshness of her words, she was commanding but still gentle. He slowly stood beside his wife and watches her, adding soy sauce into the almost cooked pork in a pan. "All right, add in the sake," she said handing him a small bottle, he hesitantly took the bottle and slowly poured the liquor in little by little.
"A little more Gaara, not that slow!" Embarrassed, he poured more in, but a little too much, Hinata stopped him. "No, no! That's too much," she said laughing. He's getting annoyed, she's laughing at him like he's some sort of idiot, he almost threw the sake bottle at the wall but her soft laughter made him stop. He didn't want to ruin their moment together, "All right, it will taste a little different but it's okay, now add in the vegetables." He dropped the chopped vegetables into the sizzling pan and Hinata stirred quickly, before he knew it, the sukiyaki was ready. She grabbed a pair chopsticks and tasted it, she beamed at the rich flavors. "Gaara, you are a good cook, seriously, it's really good."
He couldn't help but letting out a small smile, at her phrase, he paused at the chopsticks she held in front of his face with a piece of pork between the ends of the utensil. "Ahh," she cooed to him, he blushed a barely noticeable blush as he opened his mouth, tasting the food that they both cooked together."
"So?" He blinked twice before answering her, he turned his face away avoiding her so she doesn't see him smile. "I-it's good," he mumbled, she poked him in the ribs which gagged him. "See, what did I tell you? You are a good cook, from now on you could help me."
"I, I prefer you cooking for me instead," he said facing her this time, the smile was off his face at that moment. "All fine, I'll cook for you. But you'll have to promise to smile to me like that more often!" Damn, she did see that smile, he scratched his head not knowing what to say. "I love when you smile," she murmured kissing his cheek.
Flashback Over!!!
"Arigato!" he heard her say as she exits out of the shop, he was brought back to reality. She has a small bag in her hands, probably carrying the meat. Hina cautiously looked sideways before crossing the nearly empty street, it was getting dark. There were loud barking of dogs and even sounds of snoring, he saw her flinch sharply when a large dog barked at her startling the neighbors.
"Inubaka! Shut up!" his mater screeched from inside his house. The owner didn't bother checking on the intruder. Her heart pounded when she glanced the another way, when she faced the front again, someone's hard chest stopped her from going further, she bumped onto his chest hard. "Oomp!" she cried as she looks up, the darkness was making it hard to tell who he was. But to him, he can see her, he trembled when he felt her breath brushed on his cheeks. "Hinata," he said again, still unsure of how to talk to her.
"Wh-who are you?"
Gaara leans forward until his lips were close to her ears, " Hinata chan, I'm someone you should know."
"No! Kiba told me that my family's dead!"
"They are not dead like you think they are," he murmured softly into her ears. Hina stubbornly pushes him away, Gaara glared at her, not surprised that he would be pushed away. "You've changed Hinata. Not the sweet Hinata I used to know," he whispered low and dangerously.
"My name is Hina, don't call me Hinata," she said confidently but her voice was shaking, Gaara cocked his head amused with her odd and new behavior. She saw sand shifting around them both, her lips trembled with fear. "What are you?" she asks again, panicked this time. Her legs were frozen beneath her, and she realized sand was holding her back, she opened her mouth to scream but the sand also covered her mouth.
All Gaara can hear is a soft muffle coming from her. "My woman is fighting against me," Gaara thought. "This would just be like when I had first met her?" He smiled wickedly licking his lips, it's been two years, and during two years, a person can change a lot after you haven't seen her. "You would like to do this again Hinata? The same procedure as when I've first met you?" She struggled against the sand and squealed something, he seemed to understood. "Bastard!" she shrieked, he smirked surprised with her new foul language.
"Who is that man you were with today?"
"It's none of your business, let me go!" Gaara roughly held her chin in place, making her head still. She stopped screaming but still glared at him, his lips curved into an amused smile, this was somewhat familiar to him. She had rejected him the fist time he'd fallen in love with her, this was nothing to him. "If you don't tell me, I'll go up another level," he warned. Hesitantly and desperate to return home, she muttered, "My boyfriend."
"What was that?" he didn't release his gaze from her, she suddenly blushed and turn her face away. Gaara was enraged, his wife and another man?
"None of your business!" she said defiantly, he gripped her chin harder and leaned lower to the point where their lips were already touching. "I won't bother you again, just tell me why you don't know me," he promised against her lips, he felt her quiver. "I don't know, it's because I've never met you?!"
"Your boyfriend, I want to know," he demanded quietly, she cursed at him under her breath. "Tell me who you are, and what are you doing here?" she countered, he grinned dangerously, making her legs shaky. "Kazekage of the Desert, and what ever I'm here for is none of your concern."
"K-kazekage?"
"I had a wife, she looks, talks, and she's acts like you do, just that you're more bold than she was," he said, "Her name's similar to yours. But I was told that she died," he continued, she stared at him with no sympathy, in fact, she didn't feel sorry for him at all.
"However your wife died, I don't care, I want to get home."
The sand loosened from her body and slowly went inside his gourd, he turned his back to her as he crossed his arms agaisnt his chest. "So that's where the sand comes from," she thought.
"I'm not whoever you're talking about, I was found by Kiba, my family died in the attack! I had a severe head injury and I don't remember who I am and Kiba took me in, all right! I have nothing to do with you! Just leave me alone, I'm not your dead bitch!"
Gaara's eyes turned cold and he smirked, "Are you calling yourself that?" He was truly surprised by her use of cursing language, Hinata had never cursed him before, the change was extraordinary. "Meet me tomorrow at the entrance gates," he said as he steps away.
"What?"
"I look forward to seeing you once more. If you don't come, then I'll come for you." He left as mysteriously as he appeared, she was shocked from the hard steely eyes of his.
"You're back from the dead, and merely stealing my heart again," Gaara whispered. "I've found you Hinata." Gaara was gently twisting her wedding ring in his pocket, he stares at the sky decorated with stars. "And you're alive and well. You'll remember me, I'll help you to, I'll tell you about yourself tomorrow. Remember the silver sand and our family Hinata chan."
serika: Sorry if it didn't turn out the way you want it to be! I really tried my best to fix the grammar (well not really) but I hope you really had enjoyed this chapter! I'll try to update real soon! I know I made Gaara act evil, and then too kind in my story, I very sorry! Sorry about the changes of Hinata too, I kinda changed her attitude a little, remember that she has amnesia! Her attitude changed from living with Kiba for a long time, just if you're wondering! Please review!
