Chapter 5: Gaara
"Sakura-chan, Neji-niichan." Hinata said.
"Let's go." Neji said. the 2 girls nodded. They started walking.
"Sakura told me what happened." Neji said. He didn't seem mad.
Hinata looked at Sakura then back at Neji.
"A-Are...Are you going to yell at me?" She asked nervously.
"No, surprisingly, I'm not going to." he replied
"Y-Your not?" Hinata asked in disbelief.
"No, you did nothing wrong-" Neji began but Sakura interrupted.
"Except punch someone into the wall." She said laughing slightly.
"I'm not mad about that." Neji said.
"What?" both girls asked. Neji wasn't acting like...well like Neji.
"That's amazing that you where even able to do that." Neji said with the smallest smile imaginable.
"It was?" both girls said at the same time.
"Yea, it was." Neji said.
"Neji-niichan? Are you feeling alright? Usually you would yell at me." Hinata asked a bit worried.
"I'm fine, I'm just a bit shocked that you where able to do that, even if it was amazing." Neji said in a some what mocking voice.
"Are you...Are you scared I'll hurt you...Or something?" Hinata asked.
"A bit..." Neji admitted.
Both girls giggled a bit.
"Can we stop at Gaara-sama's house, I think we should tell his siblings what happened." Sakura asked.
"If it's ok with Neji-niichan..." Hinata said looking at her cousin.
"I think that's the best idea I've ever heard you say." Neji said mocking, but agreeing.
"Should I take that as a complement?" Sakura whispered to Hinata. "That's the closest your going to get to a complement from Neji-niichan." Hinata whispered back.
12 Minutes Later...
Hinata, Sakura and Neji arrived at the Sabaku sibling's house.
Sakura knocked on the door twice.
Temari answered the door, looking a bit worried.
"Sakura-chan? Hinata-chan?...!..."Neji?" Temari asked a bit surprised to see theses 3...Well mostly Neji...standing there.
Before Sakura could say anything Temari asked. "Have you seen Gaara?"
"That's what we came to talk to you about..." Neji said, seeing as the other 2 didn't say anything.
"Is he alright?" Temari asked, we was scared now.
"W-W-We d-don't...D-Don't know..." Hinata said softly, tears forming behind her eyes.
"What? What happened?" Temari demanded.
"Can we tell you inside?" Sakura asked.
"Oh...Sure..." Temari said moving away from the door to let the other's in.
Temari closed the door and told them to fallow her. They went inside the living room and sat down. "One second, let me get Kankuro, he'll want to know too." The 3 nodded as Temari got up and turned down the hall.
"KANKURO GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE." Temari shouted. "What a nice sister..." Neji said under his breath.
"What?" Kankuro said coming out of his room. "Something has happened to Gaara. Hinata, Sakura and Neji are gonna explain what happened." Temari said. Without saying anything else, Temari came back into the room, Kankuro right behind her. They both went and sat down.
"So what happened?" Temari asked.
"He got into a fight with Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura said.
"Why?" Kankuro asked.
"Who knows? We where helping for the stupid musical thing then the next thing we know, they're fighting." Sakura said.
"Gaara was dodging his punches for a while...Hinata you tell the rest" Sakura said
"I-I c-came back from the a-art room j-just as Sasuke h-hit G-G-Gaara..."
"Gaara should have been able to dodge all of that teme's (bastard's) punches!" Kankuro shouted.
"Shut up Kankuro." Temari snapped.
"I-i-it turned into a b-b-blood bath a-after a w-w-while...G-Gaara-kun w-wanted to end t-the fight...Then..." Hinata couldn't finish, she just started crying her eyes out.
Temari walked over and patted Hinata on the back, Neji finished up the story.
"Gaara wanted to end the fight, then Sasuke had landed a punch in his gut and Gaara had pretended to fall and then..."
"What happened?" Kankuro interrupted.
"SHUT UP!" Temari shouted.
"What happened after he pretended to fall Neji?"
"Sasuke...kicked him as hard as he could in the head...he blacked out after that." Neji said, with a little bit of...sympathy? Who knows.
"THAT LITTLE BASTARD! I'M GOING TO KILL SASUKE-TEME!" Kankuro shouted.
"I'm not done yet!" Neji shouted.
"There's more to the story?" Temari asked. She was also starting to let tears come out.
"Yea, but nothing else happened to Gaara, but something happened to Sasuke..." Neji said with a smirk.
"What? Did you punch him or something?" Kankuro asked.
"No...Hinata did." Neji said looking at his cousin. "And if you don't believe me, go to the theater tomorrow and look at the crater in the wall."
"You pouched Sasuke into the wall?" Kankuro asked in disbelief.
Hinata, who was still crying, nodded.
"Did anything happen after that?" Temari asked.
"They (Gaara and Sasuke) where taken to the hospital." Sakura said.
"Do you know if Gaara will be alright?" Kankuro asked.
"We don't know." Neji said.
Then, as if on cue, the phone rang. Temari answered.
Temari: Hello?
Unknown: Neechan?
Temari: Gaara? Are you alright?
Hinata looked up at Temari, was she really talking to Gaara?
Gaara: I'll be fine...I think...The world is kind of...spiny neechan.
Temari: Well you did get kicked in the head, I'd expect it to be a bit dizzy.
Gaara: How?... How did you... know that?
Temari: Some of your friends told me
Gaara: Which ones?
Temari: Sakura, Hinata and Hinata's cousin, Neji. Do you want to talk to them?
Gaara: Alright
Temari: Ok, I'm putting you on speaker.
Temari then clicked the speaker button.
"G-Gaara-kun?" Hinata asked nervously
"H...Hinata-chan?" Gaara's voice came through the telephone, very weakly
"Are you alright Gaara?" Sakura asked.
"I'll...I'll be alright." Gaara said.
"What did the doctors say?" Temari asked.
"I don't...remember all of it...but they said...I'm gonna have...a bit of...skull damage...and my gut is badly inner-bruised."
"H-How long a-are you go-going to be in there G-Gaara-kun?" Hinata asked.
"They said... about a week... mabye less."
Everyone (even Neji) sighed in relief.
"Is Neji still there?" Gaara asked a bit more quietly.
"Yeah, I'm still here, what?" Neji asked.
"Do me a favor..."
"What?"
"Beat Sasuke to a pulp for me." Gaara said.
Neji and Kankuro started laughing a bit.
"What?...What's so funny?" Gaara asked, confused.
"Sorry bro, but I think Hinata-chan is ahead of Neji in that compartment." Kankuro said.
"Wha-?" Gaara was about to ask something but Hinata shouted "KANKURO-SAN! B-BE QU-QUIET!" that just made the 2 boys laugh harder.
"I'm confused...Sakura...Can y-you explain?" Gaara asked.
"Alright." Sakura said, she was also starting to laugh.
"Well...After Sasuke kicked you in the head, we (minus Temari, Kankuro and Neji) all went to see if you where alright...Then Hinata started yelling saying 'You saw he fell to the ground and you kicked him in the head! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?'." Sakura explained.
Everyone was silent, waiting to see how Gaara would take this.
"Hinata?" he asked.
"Y-yes Gaara-kun?"
"Did...you really say that?"
Hinata nodded, she forgot they where on the phone and Gaara couldn't see her.
"She's nodding." Neji said.
Sakura decided it was time to change the subject.
"Gaara, are they allowing visitors?" she asked
"Yeah, they are." Gaara said.
"Great! We'll come visit you!" she said in a cheery voice.
"I have to learn to keep my mouth shut..." Gaara whispered to himself, but Hinata and Neji heard, that made Hinata giggle a bit.
"Great! We'll go drop off our school stuff then come and see you!" Sakura said.
"Bye Gaara / Gaara-kun." Everyone said
"Bye." Gaara said as he and Temari hung up the phones.
The 5 teens went out of the house, Kankuro also brought Gaara's lap top so he could IM them instead of calling them. They headed first to Sakura's then to the Hyuuga's to drop they're things off.
"Mama! I'm going to go see one of my friends at the hospital!" Sakura shouted throwing her bag into the house.
When they got to the Hyuuga house Hinata and Neji went inside.
"We'll be back out in a minute." Neji said closing the door behind him.
"Father?" Hinata asked putting her bag down.
"Hinata-sama, your finally home? Is Neji with you?" a deep voice asked, most likely her father.
"Yes, I'm here uncle." Neji said, also putting his bag down.
"We're...We're just p-putting our school stuff...in, we're going...to see a friend...in the hospital." Hinata said.
"I see, Neji. You are to stay with Hinata at all times, understand?"
"Yes uncle. Understood" Neji said, starting to be annoyed.
"Good, you may go." Hinata's father said.
The 2 Hyuuga's then left they're house and met up with the other 3 people standing outside.
"Took you long enough." Kankuro said.
"Sorry...We had...to tell my father where we...are going." Hinata said nervously.
"Don't worry about it, Kankuro just wants to hurry up." Temari said as they started to walk towards the hospital.
When they finally reached the hospital they went to the front desk.
"Excuse me." Sakura said "But can you tell us what room Sabaku no Gaara is in?" Sakura asked the lady.
The lady said that he was in room 221. Sakura thanked the nurse and they went to Gaara's room.
Before they went in they knocked.
"Hn." was all they heard, but they knew it was Gaara. The 5 of them went in.
Inside, Gaara laid on a bed with bandages on his wrists, some on his head where Sasuke kicked him, and bandages on his stomach from where Sasuke repeatedly punched.
Temari and Kankuro sat in chair's on the left side of Gaara's bed and Neji, Hinata and Sakura sat in chair's on the right side of his bed.
"Hey Gaara." Temari said.
"Hn." Gaara said again.
"Is that all you can say?" Kankuro asked.
"Hn." Gaara said again, just to annoy him.
"H-how are y-you feeling Gaara-kun?" Hinata asked looking at the bandages
Gaara shrugged. "Been better."
"Oh you talk to her!" Kankuro said.
"Hn." Gaara said, he loved annoying his niichan.
"Would you stop doing that!" Kankuro asked
"Hn" Gaara said, it made Hinata giggle at how Kankuro was getting mad and how Gaara just kept saying 'Hn' to him.
"I brought your lap-top by the way, that way you can IM us instead of calling." Kankuro said.
"Thanks." Gaara said.
"Ha! He finally said something other then 'Hn' to me! Finally!" Kankuro thought, getting out Gaara's lap-top for him.
They stayed and visited until it was 5:30 and a nurse said that visiting hours were over.
"See yeah Gaara." Sakura said leaving.
"See yea bro." Kankuro said fallowing Sakura.
"Feel better." Temari said kissing Gaara's head then leaving.
"Bye Gaara-kun, I'll come see you tomorrow." Hinata said, kissing Gaara's right cheek. It made him go bright red which made Hinata giggle. She left with Neji fallowing her, but before Neji closed the door he turned to Gaara.
"Your alright, Sabaku...And it seems Hinata-sama likes you...I guess you lost fighting Sasuke...But won her." Neji said with a grin he then left.
