Well I haven't updated lately but I have good reason. Once again, its school related. I must have been on crack or something but somehow I joined this school academic pentathlon. All my extra time had to go into preparing for it so there. Good news after Saturday it's over and I can get back to writing and plotting the demise of my history teacher!

Hinata set her gaze downward. She felt ashamed. Sasuke was gone for only a short time and already she was questioning her love for him. He was always there for her and loved her when she needed it most. Yes, there were certain things about him that she found uncomfortable and uneasy but she still loved him.

Her eyes lifted to Gaara who was siting next to her with a grin spread on his face. Hinata remembered the first time Gaara had to come to her wanting her to be his. She remembered the pity and empathy she felt for him when she told him that she couldn't be with him.

She too had known the pain of rejection and knew how it could damage the soul. She had known Gaara was alone for the most of his life and hated the fact that she wasn't helping at all.

She loved Sasuke but he wasn't the kind of person she ever thought she would be with. If at that time she wasn't with Sasuke she probably would have been forced –by him- to say yes.

Gaara watched her, his smirk widening. It was amusing to him to see all the displays of emotion play on her face. "Hinata" Gaara whispered his lips brushing her ear. Hinata tried to lean away from him but Gaara tightened his grip around her arms.

"Hinata, he whispered again making her shiver, do you still love the Uchiha?" He felt Hinata stiffen next to him. Hinata didn't say anything she just sat there suddenly finding it hard to breathe. Gaara abruptly let go of her arms and stood up.

"Hinata, Gaara said a solemn expression now on his face, listen to me and listen well".

He leaned down to face her so they were eye level. "You are mine and only mine and don't ever forget it". Gaara leaned in and met Hinata's lips then he pulled away and slowly made his way out of her room smirking all the while

Hinata felt her heart rate return to normal and she took a deep breathe. She slowly stood up and thought of what she should next. But one think she knew for sure was that she felt controlled.

Gaara smiled sickeningly as he made his way to the place where the loud pink haired ninja was waiting for him. His smile grew from anticipation of the fun he was about to have. He vaguely wondered which would be more fun ripping out her pink hair or burning it off.

Oh, what fun, fun, fun this will be!
