I was only going to update in the end of next month. But then I thought "If I do that they are going to kill me"
So here I am. Updating.
But this is all you get until a very long time. Sorry but I really have to concentrate on my studies right now but don't worry. I'll try to update at least once a month. I know that's not very good but is better then nothing right?
Chap 8: Gaara
After Sasuke got out of the office, Gaara made his way towards Hinata. Even though he still had his expressionless expression on she knew better than that. She knew he was just as happy to see her as she was to see him. He has in front of her now; only a foot away.
"It's been a long time, Hinata" He said staring straight at her eyes.
"It has, hasn't it?" She said staring right back at him surprisingly not blushing; Gaara was one of the few people she could feel comfortable enough to say everything she thought and felt. She had missed him so much; they hadn't seen each other since after his kidnap by the Akatsuki; that meant that they hadn't seen each other for almost three years. She could remember the time she last came to Suna.
Flashback
Three agonizing days. That's what Hinata would say to the first person who asked how the trip to Suna went. Even though she convinced Tsunade to let her go to Suna to see Gaara she still had to get there; and it was a long trip.
"Why can't Suna be closer to Konoha?" She thought bitterly when she finally arrived at the gates of Suna. If it was a normal visit she would have looked around in awe but she just passed right trough everything and everyone; only thing in her mind was to get to the Kazekage tower. Everything looked like it was fighting against her; she could have sworn that the Kazekage tower has nearer the last time she was there.
Finally arriving there she stopped for a second to breath, and that was all it took to someone to find her.
"Hinata! Are you ok? What are you doing here?" She looked up and saw Temari standing in front of her with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Where is he?" Hinata asked still breathless and in a pleading way. Temari didn't need to ask anymore; she knew exactly why Hinata was there.
"He's in his office. But…" She couldn't finish because the other girls had already ran to said office.
Gaara was standing in the middle of his office with an open book he had just picked out from one of the shelves on his hands when he felt someone approaching quickly to his office. Soon enough the door had burst open and standing there breathless has Hinata. He quirked a nonexistent brow at her and next thing he knew the book hasn't on his hands anymore and Hinata has hugging him and crying on his chest. If it here before Shukaku wouldn't even let her come an inch near him but since he was no longer inside him Gaara could only stand in shock with the crying girl on his arms. He still wasn't used to this kind of thing; so the only thing he did was awkwardly put his arms around her; not really getting why she came all the way there to cry on his chest.
"I was so worried about you." She said between sobs. So, that's why she came. Somehow he didn't expect someone to care so much for him so that the person has actually crying like there was no tomorrow. But there in his arms was the proof that someone cared.
"She really is special." He thought relaxing a bit under the embrace.
"I'm alright Hinata" He said expecting that would calm her a bit. It didn't work; she started to cry even more, if that was even possible. He started to panic slightly; not having a lot of contact with people made him inept to this kind of situation. He didn't know what possessed him to start stroking her hair; but whatever it was at least it worked, she calmed considerably.
"Are you really ok?" She said when she finally stopped crying looking up at him with her tear stained cheeks that only made him think she was even more beautiful than he thought before.
"Of course I'm ok. There is an angel in my arms." He only thought that of course. It was already weird for him to think such a thing; imagine actually saying.
"Hn." Now that was more like Gaara. Hinata giggled a bit by his answer; Gaara was really ok if he was being himself.
"I'm glad. I really was worried about you. I just had to come and see you"
"By the way; how come I didn't know you were coming?" Again he quirked a nonexistent brow at her
"You didn't? But Tsunade-sama said she would send a message telling you that" And right at that moment a bird that Hinata recognized as one of Konoha was coming trough the open window and dropping a small scroll on Gaara's desk. Reluctantly he let go of the girl on his arms to go look at the scroll. After reading it his eye started twitching a little.
"Gaara? Is everything ok?" Her only answer was him handing him the scroll he was currently glaring at.
Kazekage-sama
As you might already know by now I have sent Hinata there for she was worrying so much about you that was making everyone worried about her; so to stop all the worries I have sent her there and she can stay for a month. I doubt that you have any complains about it considering your relationship and all. And if you are wondering; no I didn't forget to tell you Hinata was coming.
Tsunade.
Needless to say Hinata resembled a tomato.
"Oh dear Kami…" Was all she could say. Tsunade just seemed to have a thing to embarrassing other people
"So, you are staying?" He said looking at her, a shadow of a smile of his face
"Hai. It seems so." She said smiling brightly at him; feeling happier than she had in some time.
End of flashback
She had such a great time when she came to Suna. She and Gaara had become even closer than they were and she had meet Kyo. Just thinking of that little boy brought a smile to her face.
But back to the present where she was currently standing at Gaara's office with him right in front of her; they were still staring at each others eyes.
"You are busy, aren't you?" She said glancing at his desk that was filled with important looking papers.
"Yes…" He said with a sigh. Being a Kazekage meant that he had little time to himself.
"Well, we'll talk later then." She said smiling at him and turning to leave, but he grabbed her arm and pushed her gently to his chest.
"You and the Uchiha will be staying at my house. We'll have dinner later" He said in his usual emotionless tone as if having Hinata on his chest was a normal thing.
"H-hai…" Hinata was having a hard time not fainting. When he let go of her he smirked at how much she looked like a tomato.
Outside, Uchiha Sasuke wasn't having such a great time. First; he had just left Hinata alone with Gaara. Second…well the first one was good reason enough. He was wondering trough the hall of the Kazekage residence waiting for Hinata to get out when someone called him.
"Yo! You! Duck butt hair that was with Hinata-neechan" Sasuke looked down to see that Kyo was right next to him. His eye started twitching a little; no one had called him duck butt hair in a long time.
"Hn"
"Where is Hinata-neechan?"
"At Gaara's office"
"Oh…" They kept staring at each other for what it felt like for ever. They only stopped when they heard someone approaching them; it was Hinata and she had both her hand on her cheeks and she looked flustered. That made Kyo smirk and Sasuke frown.
"Hinata-neechan!"
"Kyo-kun, Sasuke. Why are you standing here?"
"I was looking for you when I found duck butt here."
"Kyo-kun! That's rude!" Hinata said looking at the little boy in disapproval.
"Tch. Whatever." That made Hinata roll her eyes and Sasuke to glare at him. It seemed the little brat wasn't so much like Naruto after all.
"Ne, Sasuke. Gaara said we are staying at his house. Do you want to go there and rest or would you like a tour of the village? I know some pretty good places."
"Sure"
"Ok. So let's go to the Kazekage residence, leave our stuff there and then go walk through the village." She said smiling at him and already turning to leave.
"Ne, Hinata-neechan. Can I come with you?"
"Have you talked to Tomoyo-san?"
"Hai. Kaa-san said is alright if you agree"
"So of course you can come Kyo-kun"
Inwardly Sasuke groaned
After leaving their things at the Kazekage residence, which by the way was quite impressive, they resumed to wondering through the village. His though that Hinata was well known at the sand village were proven true. Everywhere they went there was someone waving at her which she replied by waving back and smiling. And also everywhere they went there were guys staring at her. Seriously, it looked like they had never seen a woman before. With that thought Sasuke looked around and noticed why they were looking mainly at Hinata. She was completely different from the women from Suna. Women from Suna looked like they all had light hair and they were all tanned and a bit tough. Hinata was the exact opposite; her skin was so pale it could be compared to snow, her hair a deep shade of blue and she appeared to be made of glass. He sighed; he couldn't blame them, the girl has absolutely mesmerizing
"Wait. What?" Again he caught himself thinking weird things about Hinata
"Sasuke. Are you alright?" Hinata asked worriedly. She had seen Sasuke look startled for a second.
"Fine."
"Good, because is almost time" She said smiling brightly at him, Kyo only rolled his eyes
"Time for what?"
"Follow me" She said suddenly jumping on the roof of one of the houses near them. She started jumping from one to another with Sasuke and Kyo right behind her. Soon enough they were back at the Kazekage tower. But instead of getting in Hinata started climbing the building until they reached the roof. The Kazekage tower was the biggest building in the entire village.
"Here we are. Just in time too."
"In time for what?" Hinata only pointed at the horizon were the sun was starting to set. It was beautiful; the setting of the sun upon the village made it seem like he was looking at a painting.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Hinata whispered to him, her eyes set upon the village. She looked like she was mesmerized by the view.
"Yes, it is" He said not tearing his gaze from Hinata
Nothing to say really…
Just: Please review!!!
