Hinata was walking down the streets of Suna minding her own business when she suddenly stopped in front of her was a crowd of angry people that was made up of Kankuro, Temari, Sakura, Lee and Kiba all of them had angry looks on their faces. Hinata looked confused
"H-Hello everyone…is something wrong?" Temari merely snorted "You should know" she said rather harshly.
Hinata looked even more confused "What do you mean? Did something happen?"
"Don't play dumb we saw you kissing that scum bag". Kiba said angrily as he pointed a finger at Hinata, she gasped "Who? D-Do you mean G-Gaara?"
Kiba's brow narrowed "Look Hinata we know it was you so don't try to fool us". "F-f-fool you w-w-w-with w-what?"
Sakura then approached Hinata "What Kiba means to say is, that we say you kissing some other guy and the question that we're all wondering is why would you do that? Does Gaara mean nothing to you anymore?" Sakura asked, Hinata gasped "O-o-of course I l-l-love Gaara-sama, I-I-I love h-h-him more than a-a-anything".
"Oh really?!" Kankuro then approached "Well then if you love my little brother so much then why in the name of all things decent were you sucking the lips off of some other guy?!" he nearly shouted Hinata jumped at his words "That…I-I-it wasn't m-m-m-me" she stuttered her fingers came together "It w-w-wasn't m-m-m-me h-h-h-honest".
"Hinata you should never cheat on the one you care about the most it is most disrespectful and above all just plain wrong". Hinata looked down trying to bloke out Lee's words, she couldn't understand why everyone was mad at her she had done nothing wrong.
"I-I-I don't u-u-understand what y-y-your all t-t-talking about".
Kankuro rolled his eyes "Of course you try to deny it, well you can't keep up the whole innocent act forever Hinata".
Hinata was now feeling lightheaded "W-w-would you p-p-p-please explain t-t-to me what h-h-has happened? I'm a-a-a-afraid I really don't k-k-know w-w-what is g-g-g-going o-o-on".
Everyone just looks even more angry as Hinata receives a death glare causing the poor girl to faint right there on the spot.
With Gaara and Naruto
"Gaara we've been walking all over the village what are we looking for?"
Gaara choose to ignore his friend's complaining, but right now he had to find the one person who he really did not want to see.
"Were looking for Matsuri, I am positive that she has something behind all of this".
"Is that all?!"
"Do you have any better ideas?"
"Why would Matsuri be involved in something like this? She wasn't even there when it happened".
"Stop whining and just follow me".
"Well even when we do find her what do you plan to say to her?"
"I'm going to threaten her to a point where she'll have to crack and give me all the details", Naruto merely stared at Gaara he really did not like the girl, but then again who did.
"Can we at least rest?" Naruto wined as he dragged his feet to keep up, "Shut it, now come on". Gaara ordered as they continued walking.
Back with Hinata and everyone
"Do you think we overdid it?"
Hinata was currently in a hospital bed, sleeping peacefully while everyone looked down upon her, "Maybe we went a bit far, after all she fainted".
Temari glared at her brother "Kankuro she's cheating on Gaara and refusing to admit it and all you can say is how we took it to far!?".
Sakura shook her head "I think I'm having second thoughts about all of this".
"Look Sakura I've known Hinata for a long time now and trust me I find it hard to believe also but I guess some people are like that and Hinata is one of them". Kiba said as he put his hands in his pockets, there was silence for a few moments.
Lee finally spoke "Listen everyone, now that I think about it what if this was all some sort of set up".
Everyone looks up "Hmmm what do you mean?"
"This is just a theory but what if Hinata wasn't really doing that because she wanted to but rather she was forced to do it? Or maybe that wasn't Hinata at all our Hinata would never do something so bad, maybe it was all some sort of plan that would lead to some crazy plot twist and all of us were mislead and accused Hinata for something that wasn't even her fault".
Everyone looks at Lee like he's grown a second head, there was silence for some time, Kankuro shook his head.
"Lee I think all that training has finally gone to your head".
Back with Gaara and Naruto
"Hey Gaara I see her!"
Both looked straight ahead to see Matsuri happily walking down a busy street.
"Well now what?" "Just keep quiet and let me handle this" Both walked towards Matsuri, Naruto reached out to touch her shoulder causing her to turn around "Gaara-sama!" she squealed making both of them cover their ears.
"Did you really come looking for me?"
"Matsuri there's something we w-"
"Oh Gaara-sama this means you love me and that you wanted to tell me something sweet and caring right".
"No just listen-"
"I knew that you loved me! Now we can finally be together and live happily forever".
Gaara had, had enough of Matsuri's yapping using his sand he covered her mouth to prevent her from further interruptions.
"Shut up, you obsessive fangirl! There are a few questions that we want to ask you".
Using his sand he teleported them back to the Kazekage tower. "Before you go and starting yapping again we only want to know a few things".
Matsuri looked confused "Like what?" Naruto grinned "Oh you'll see Gaara got plans in store for you".
Back with Hinata and everyone else
An argument had broke out among the group to whether or not Hinata was innocent and if they should punish her and how, but while they were all fighting; they failed to notice that Hinata had woken up and looked around the group that consisted of her friends fighting among themselves.
"U-um p-p-pardon me?"
Her small voice wasn't heard among the crowd. She spoke again a little louder still no one heard her, again she tried a little louder still nothing. Till finally she shouted seeing how it was the only way that she could get their attention.
All eyes were on her now, causing her to blush at her sudden rudeness "U-u-um I-I-I am s-s-s-sorry for shouting b-b-b-but can someone please tell m-m-me how I e-e-ended u-u-up here".
"You fainted so we brought you here" Kankuro said flatly "Oh" was all Hinata said as she started playing with her fingers, not really knowing what to say we could see that people were still made at her and she had no clue why.
"I-I-I-I want to a-a-apologize I-I-I don't know w-w-w-what I've d-d-done but i-i-it has c-c-clearly m-made all of you u-u-upset".
She slowly rose and walked past everyone trying hard not to faint as she headed out of the hospital and down the street, confused and rather hurt that her friends were mad at her, she had done nothing wrong and yet people were accusing her of kissing some other guy.
That's impossible the only man I've ever kissed is Gaara she thought as she continued walking trying to clear her head. She wondered if they were all confusing her for someone else. After all she loved Gaara and would never cheat on him.
Briefly she wondered if everyone had lost their minds, well either way Hinata did not want to be accused of something she didn't do.
She made up her mind that she would figure out this whole mess one and set things straight.
With Gaara, Naruto and Matsuri
"I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't do anything". Matsuri had been tied to a chair and had been asked questions non-stop. Gaara was determined to make Matsuri talk and he wouldn't hesitate to apply pain when needed.
"Shut up and answer the question!" Naruto ordered as he stood next to Gaara "I really don't know what you want from me, please just let me go!" "Don't play dumb we want answers, you give us what we need and we can all go home and pretend this never happened".
"Something is wrong with you! I haven't done anything! Let me go!"
"Lady all we want is a few answers and we can either do this the hard way or the easy way, it's your choice".
Matsuri growled in anger "You are a complete idiot you know that right! What gives you the right to accuse me of something I never did".
"Shut it fangirl! Just answer the stupid questions".
"Ugh! For the last time I did nothing wrong now will you let me go, you orange numbskull!" Naruto wrinkled his nose in frustration "Well at least I'm not a moron who dedicates her life to a guy who hates her and just wants her to disappear".
Matsuri's face began to darken in anger "Why you little-" "Enough" Gaara's voice broke the argument "Look here fangirl, I'll ask you once again where were you when this whole incident happened".
"For the last time, I was at home no were near Hinata!"
Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow, he could tell that she was lying his sand could sense her nervousness as it rubbed against her picking up vibrations.
The sand began to wrap around her legs slowly getting tighter "Are you sure that's where you where?" Matsuri nodded "Of course Gaara-sama".
Matsuri winced slightly as the sand squeezed tighter around her legs and made it way up to her waist. "Gaara it's not working she's not talking maybe she really is telling the truth".
The red head thought for a moment, he knew that Matsuri hated Hinata so she had to be the the most suspicious person that could be behind all of this.
"Matsuri I know that you hate Hinata". The sand got tighter "I know that you wish she was gone", her arms were now starting to be engulfed "But I know that you're lying". The sand reached her shoulders slowly getting steadily tighter around her "So would you please tell me everything, you wouldn't dare lie before the Kazekage would you?"
His sand now wrapped around her neck and squeezed, Matsuri gasped for air as she tried to break free from the hold it had on her, it was useless. "Gaara-sama please". She begged as she struggled to breath, Gaara crossed his arms "If you would be so kind and tell me, then I'm sure we can work things out in a civil manner".
Naruto bit his nails nervously; he knew that Gaara was way over his blood crazed days, but he couldn't help but worry that he was actually going to kill Matsuri.
"Hey Gaara, you might want to ease up there after all your kinda suffocating her".
The red head ignored Naruto's voice as he squeezed a little tighter "Come now, Matsuri would you really keep secrets from the Kazekage".
"I have n-n-nothing to s-say". She said weakly Gaara's eyes narrowed as he commanded his sand to hold her tighter around her neck chocking her, she gagged trying to get the air she desperately needed "This is your last chance tell me what happened or else".
"Gaara!" Naruto shouted trying to get his attention "Hey man, knock it off she really needs to breath!".
Matsuri eyes were rolling in the back of her head and she knew that the jig was up it was wither tell them now or die from suffocation.
"Alright I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything". Her voice was barely a whisper, Gaara immediately released his hold on Matsuri and she gasped for air, filling her lungs.
"You have some explaining to do so start talking!"
Back with Hinata
Sari had been walking when she noticed Hinata who looked deep in thought, she had met her at some point and was aware of the tension that was between her and her friends, and she felt bad about the whole thing, she liked Hinata and didn't think that is was fair that she should be blamed for something Matsuri planned.
Nervously she approached, upon hearing footsteps Hinata turned around and smiled "Sari-chan it is nice to see you".
Sari nodded and bit her lip in hesitation, Hinata's smiled turned into a frown "Sari-chan is there something wrong?"
The sand kunochi was quiet for a few moments, despite that Matsuri was one of her closest friends it was wrong to accuse someone for something they didn't do and she didn't want Hinata's relationship with Gaara to be ruined because of her.
"Hinata-san…there's something we need to talk about".
"What might that be?"
"I think I can explain why your being accused for this whole incident".
Back with Gaara, Naruto and Matsuri
"Why you filthy little cheater!"
Gaara's was doing his best to keep from killing Matsuri right there on the spot, she had just told them everything and was currently being yelled at by Naruto but she was focused on Gaara.
Now that he knew what her intensions where she was afraid that he would hurt her, she knew fully well what he was capable of doing and she didn't like it.
Gaara was currently thinking about the best way to handle the situation, his hatred for Matsuri just reached a new level if that was even possible, how he really wanted to kill her right now.
Naruto cracked his knuckles "Normally I would never hit girls, but in this case I'll make an exception". He raised his fist really to punch a terrified Matsuri when Gaara stopped him.
"Hold on Naruto, this is not the best way to discipline her, let me take care of this".
He approached Matsuri who looked very scared "You have done something that has potentially ruined Hinata, I would lash out at you right now, but I am no longer the person I once was".
He paused "You will tell Hinata everything, and you will apologize to her, only then will I even think about forgiving you, if you don't then I have ways of making sure that you will".
That last sentence made Matsuri gulp in fear, and she nodded. "Good now get out of my sight".
The terrified girl quickly ran past the two and far away from them as possible. "Gaara you did it! You got her to finally talk, sure it took a little well maybe a lot of intimidation but you did it".
"Naruto come on were leaving".
"Where are we going now?" he wined
"To find Hinata, she needs to know about Matsuri's apology".
"Can't that wait, we just walked all over the village and-" he received a glare from the red head, meaning he was not in the mood for this. The blonde gave a frustrated sigh.
"Alright, alright I'm coming".
As they walked through the village Gaara could only hope that Matsuri would stick to her word and apologize to Hinata for he couldn't bear the idea of her being crushed all because of something that Matsuri had planned.
