Not Capable

Chapter5: Caught Red Handed

Gaara sighed out of frustration. Tsunade had walked in just as Hinata was getting a wheel chair, so much for an hour or two out of the hospital. Though, the look on Tsunade's face was priceless. She was pissed and at the moment she was yelling at him. She didn't say a word to Hinata, which made Gaara curious. Why didn't Hinata want to take him out when she wasn't the one that was getting punished? Gaara shook his head waiting for Tsunade to stop.

"Kazekage-sama, you cannot leave this hospital till I say so! You are in my village and it is my responsibility to make sure you go back to your village safe and sound!" Tsunade stopped then got an evil smirk on her face, "Gaara if you don't behave you'll have Amaya as a baby-sitter!"

Gaara inwardly groaned as he watched Hinata's face go from nervous, to shocked, to confused. Tsunade was looking straight at Hinata, amused, as if daring her to ask.

"W-What do you m-mean, b-baby-sitter?" Hinata asked trying to keep from stammering.

"Exactly what I said Hinata, Gaara can't walk so he'll have to stay with someone until he can walk. I thought he could stay with Amaya, but he didn't like that idea much," Tsunade paused, her grin getting wider, "he asked if he could stay with you."

Now Gaara did groan while rolling his eyes. Why did he feel….embarrassed? Like he wanted to disappear, and as much as he wanted to see Hinata's reaction, he couldn't bare to look at her.

Hinata's lungs stopped working, as she tried to breathe. Gaara, the Kazekage, stay with her and her family? No…no…no, that couldn't happen! Hiashi would throw a fit! Hinabi would feel uncomfortable with another guy in the house and Neji-nee-san wouldn't like it. Hinata closed her eyes and took a long deep breath.

"M-m-my f-f-family w-w…" Hinata was interrupted by Tsunade.

"I talked to Hiashi. He's okay with it," Tsunade smiled staring at the white eyed girl, "Consider it your punishment for trying to take Gaara out of here."

Gaara finally looked at Hinata who was about to faint. Was the thought of living with him that bad? Tsunade stood up, said good-bye, and left, leaving Hinata and Gaara alone again.

There was a long uncomfortable silence before Hinata finally spoke.

"Gaara, w-why d-d-did y-you…" Hinata was interrupted again.

"Because I didn't want to put up with Amaya," Gaara said emotionlessly.

"C-couldn't you h-have stayed w-with S-Sakura or I-Ino or…" Hinata stopped wanting out of this situation.

"No, I want to stay with you," Gaara paused, "Sakura and Ino are annoying."

"T-They aren't s-so b-bad," Hinata spoke sadly.

"Yes, they are," Gaara said in a cold voice.

"I-I'm not annoying?" Hinata asked in a weird voice that was between hopeful and sad.

"No, you're not like Ino or Sakura. You're different." Gaara spoke slow trying to not to make it sound like he actually cared for her or anything, because he didn't.

"I-I'll take that as a compliment," Hinata said barely stammering.

Gaara smiled, "Good, because it was one. Now about getting me out of here..."

"How about taking your medicine," Hinata replied back as she smiled.

"Well, since you didn't stutter, I'll consider taking the medicine." Gaara said with a sigh.

Hinata looked a bit puzzled. Gaara realized she didn't stutter? No one ever realized that and if they did they didn't point it out.

Gaara watched as Hinata's face got a little red as a blush formed on her face. Good!

Sorry it's so short. I didn't even reach 1000 words.

I think I might have Gaara get out of the hospital sooner that I originally thought.

Yes, Gaara is a little OOC. Good or bad OOCness?
