disclaimer: i don't own naruto or the characters
this chapter's really short, but whatever
Gaara waited in his kitchen. He waited for the ANBU black ops to come to his door and try to arrest him. Surely Hinata must have woken up by now and told them who her attacker was. He had looked through the profiles he had of leaf village genin when he got home last night and had found her. Hyuuga Hinata. She's inherited the byakuugan, she could have used it when she grabbed onto him, but she didn't.
Stupid girl.
Gaara was buzzing inside with excitement. How many ANBU would they send? How many skilled ninja could he kill to reaffirm his existence?
His siblings had sensed his strange mood and left the house quickly and quietly that morning. They were afraid of him, just like everyone else. Gaara wondered if they would have to run out of the leaf village. All sand shinobi would likely be labeled targets. The others in the sand village would not be pleased when they heard. It would ruin their entire operation. It's not like they could do anything about him though. None of them could even touch him, except for perhaps Orochimaru. It would not have been a problem if he had done as he always did, and left no witnesses. Killed them all.
He should have killed her last night. He should have killed her when he snuck into the hospital that morning and killed the woman who looked like his mother. He should go and kill her now.
Gaara got up from the table and began to make toast.
Hinata munched on the crappy hospital breakfast. The toast was burnt and the eggs were rubbery. Her taste buds were spoiled from the delicious meals she usually prepared at home. She had told the doctors that she had been walking through town when she was suddenly slammed into the wall and passed out before she could see who had done it. She lied to protect him.
It was ridiculous, she didn't even know him. And he was psychotic. But he was sad. She could see it in his eyes. He was so sad, it nearly broke her heart. The boy had the same eyes as Naruto. Except Naruto didn't need her. This boy…he needed her. Hinata couldn't figure out why, or how she knew, but she knew he needed her all the same. So she lied to the doctors and ate her burnt toast in silence.
