A/N hi! Thanks for taking the time to tell me what you think, I really appreciate it.
Chapter 10:
Hinata started running, as fast as she could. This is too much, I can't take this. Why can't I have a normal life like Sakura? Why is everyone around me living a fairytale and I'm the only one living a nightmare. She kept on running, holding her necklace tight.
Why don't they understand! I yelled at my father, what if he won't let me in the house anymore. Do I still want to go there, but where else can I go? People stared at her, but she didn't notice. And Gaara is in prison, why am I so selfish only thinking about myself. Now he'll be put in a place with thieves and murderers. What if he gets hurt, or loses control and hurts someone else. Maybe he'll have to stay in prison for years… leaving me behind. I can't take this! Suddenly her feet stopped. She had run all the way to Gaara's apartment. She opened the door, her face wet with tears that kept running down her eyes.
She saw someone sitting at Gaara's desk; he had raven black hair, and was looking through some papers.
"S-Sasuke" Hinata whispered, not able to keep her voice steady.
Sasuke turned around and Hinata could see what he was looking at…my poems!
"The only one who can keep me from darkness the one to catch all my tears. I will love you forever, losing you is one of my greatest fears." Sasuke chuckled after he put the papers away.
Hinata didn't reply.
Sasuke turned around and saw that she was crying. Just for a second an emotion flashed over his face, he hoped she didn't notice. But she did, living with her father and Neji all these years had trained her in spotting emotions that they wanted to hide, and what Sasuke had shown was guilt.
"What happened?" he asked and he walked towards her. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, but he couldn't just sit there.
"I-I" she couldn't explain, it was like her whole memory of what happened exploded in her head and she didn't know how to put the pieces back together. Sasuke led her to the couch and got her some water, which she gratefully drank. He sat down next to; she could feel the heat of his body. He loved the way she looked sitting there: so helpless, so vulnerable, innocent. He was quiet and Hinata was trying to calm down but the tears didn't stop. She suddenly felt something dripping down her hands, she looked and saw that her hand (still clutched to her necklace) was bleeding, she opened it and the love kanji had cut through her hand and was covered in blood. Sasuke noticed that too and suddenly jumped away from her, pushing his arms against his face. Hinata felt Sasuke jump away and looked at him.
"S-Sasuke-san, are you okay?" she stood up and walked towards him.
"Get away from me!" he yelled "Why did you do it, why did you kill everyone, why am I still alive" he added whispering.
Hinata didn't understand what was going on, she didn't kill anybody.
Blood was falling on the floor, Sasuke jumped back, "Get it away from me" he hissed.
Then Hinata understood his fear
"Are you hemophobic?" and she walked towards the sink.
Sasuke didn't reply he was sitting in the corner pushing his hands against the side of his head and was going back and forth whispering.
Hinata washed her hands and went towards Sasuke.
"It's gone now, Sasuke-san are you okay? " she asked in a soft and caring voice not noticing that she had stopped crying. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you"
They sat next to each other; Hinata was drying Sasuke's face with a clean handkerchief
"Hinata-sama, are you in here?" Neji asked in a strangely soft voice as he opened the door.
"What the!" he yelled as he saw Hinata and Sasuke sitting next to each other. He walked towards Sasuke and grabbed him.
"Who the hell are you?"
"You are supposed to introduce yourself first." Sasuke snapped back to his old self.
"N-Neji, c-calm down please. His name is Uchiha Sasuke. I was helping him, he just had a pani-"
"I had a seizure" Sasuke quickly said, he didn't like to let other people know that he'd get a panic tack when he saw blood.
"I don't care, get out of here" Neji sneered.
"You can't make me go" Sasuke replied smirking.
"Want to bet" Neji asked and hit with his left hand a hole in the wall.
"Whoa, calm down, I'm going" Sasuke said with an ironic voice "See you around Hinata-chan" smirking after he implied that he knew Hinata better that he did.
"Hinata-sama, where is Gaara-san?" Neji asked, noticing someone missing.
"He he he he's in prison" she said, hugged Neji and started crying.
Neji didn't know what to do and petted her uncomfortably on her back. When Hinata had calmed down a bit she started telling what happened after she'd left. Neji listened and when she finished he picked up the phone and started talking.
A few minutes later.
"They're ready to release him but need his guardian to sign several pages" he looked in Hinata's face, which was still red and puffy from crying.
"T-that would be Inumi-san, I think" she said after thinking about it.
"Let's go there then" and he stood up, opened the door for her and they went towards Inumi's office. They were silent office. They were both silent as they walked.
Neji knocked three times on the door. And Inumi opened.
"Ah Hinata-san, wow you look terrific" then he saw her face "and very very sad, How can I help you" he said kindly.
Hinata tried to speak but her voice gave up on her.
"Sabaku no Gaara was put in jail and they need his guardian to sign papers to release him" Neji said.
"Ah well, I wish I could help, but that would be his father, please come in and tell me what happened. I haven't caught your name"
"Hyuuga Neji" Neji said, pulled Hinata inside and closed the door.
Inumi typed on his computer and dialled the number who had appeared on the screen.
After several minutes on the phone, he hung up.
"Well umm… His father will pick him up tomorrow between meetings. He is too busy to do it today" Inumi said, a little bit uncomfortable because of the Hyuuga's unpleasant stare.
Tomorrow! But he is in prison, how can a father be too busy for his own child…well mine is but I mean prison how can Gaara stay in there for a whole night. What if he gets hurt!
"Hinata-sama, calm down, He won't die from just a night in prison. Hiashi send me to get you home" Neji said.
Hinata nodded even though she was very upset with her father, Neji had only been trying to protect her, and he had helped her and Gaara now. And come to think of it, Neji really wasn't nice to that much people…
A/N I hope you like this chapter, please review and have a happy newyear!
