Hi-ya readers, sorry the update took so long Health class can be really depressing we're talking about abusive boyfriends/girlfriends, and some of the stories our teacher told us we're like crazy. She told us a story about some guy who tried killing his preggie girlfriend cuz she tried leaving him. She managed to get grazed by the bullet but the guy ended up killing himself in the end. Crazy stuff, and here I thought health was about fitness and our bodies. Anyways, sorry for talking so much, I was just really disturbed… lol… on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Sasuke resentfully groped around the floor for his cell phone. Who the fuck calls at 5a.m., I swear I'm gunna wring their neck once I find out who it is.
"Who the fuck is this?" he snarled not even bothering to look at the caller ID. His eyes flew open however when he heard the voice at the other line.
"Umm… Sasuke is this you? It's me Hinata, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you…should I call later?"
"Huh… No! sorry Hinata I thought you were someone else" he lied. "Is something wrong?" he said, quickly getting up and putting on some decent clothes, tripping over books that lay sprawled on the floor.
"No nothings wrong I just wanted to explore the school but I'm afraid I'll get lost and running into a girl, can you open your door?"
"Are you outside?, Wait how did you get a phone? And how to you know my number?" he added slyly, a little suspicious.
"Itachi came to pay me a visit last night, and he gave it to me" she answered truthfully.
"Itachi came… did he do anything to you?!... what did he want?!"
Itachi told me not to tell anyone… "He just came to drop off something for me, -I'm not technically lying to him- he didn't do anything weird – okay that last part was a lie-"
Hinata turned around to hear small paws pattering on the floor, a small white dog came bounding out of a hallway and connected to his leash was none other than Kiba. Kiba spotted her and flashed his wolfish smile.
"Hey Hinata you're up pretty early I thought I was the only person up around this time" he smiled showing rather large canines. Hinata stared at the dog curiously.
"This is my dog Akamaru, the school gave me special permission to keep him here, do you want to pet him, he likes girls" Kiba scratched the back of his rugged head smiling puppyish. Hinata reached her hand out to pet Akamaru's head when she heard a familiar voice.
"Hey Inuzuka take that mongrel outside, he's going to stink up the whole dorm" Drawled the voice.
Wait a second… that voice.
Hinata slowly turned to see Gaara leaning against a door, two doors away from Sasuke's room. Sasuke territorially stepped in front of Hinata, daring Gaara to get closer. Hinata however, stood up with arms wide open and side stepped Sasuke running towards Gaara, with a beaming face.
"Gaara!" she cried and ran up to him like a lost sheep prancing to its noble Shepard. Gaara stared at her wide eyed and smirked devilishly when she embraced him in a tight hug. I knew she'd come back to me, see Uchiha she belongs to me so keep your fuckin hands off her. Gaara snaked his arms around her and leered at Sasuke.
Kiba stood there stunned at the sight he just saw. Is she actually hugging that guy, I didn't think it was possible to get near him let alone hug him, she makes him seem like some kind of bear. Whoa! wait until Naruto hears about this, Naruto is like the only dude that Gaara guy is actually on good terms with, Shino might actually looked surprised. Kiba snuck away unnoticed, to go spread the miracle he just witnessed to Naruto and Shino.
Sasuke however, looked like a rabid dog, Is that freak touching MY Hinata … um ... I meant Hinata…Is that freak touching HINATA!
"Hey I was talking to her Shubaku, I didn't realize you were so ill mannered that you interrupt other people's conversations." Snarled Sasuke, malice dripping off every word.
"I was just saying hello to an old friend, my you've gotten really attached to her these past couple of days, did your brother run out of whores for you to screw?" sneered Gaara.
"Hinata come on, lets leave before everyone starts waking up" Sasuke commanded. He held out his hand waiting for her to return.
"Can Gaara come with us?" peeped Hinata, who pried herself from Gaara's body, giving Sasuke a pleading look. Sasuke frowned, his eyes were very close to changing to their blood red pigment, but he controlled it.
"Tch, I don't care" Sasuke took Hinata's hand firmly and stalked off, glancing at Gaara daring him to touch Hinata.
The three of them walked silently through the empty hallways, the morning came like a breath of fresh air, dew drops shimmered like jewels that someone had carelessly thrown on the floor.
Hinata gasped and Oo-ed at the buildings and classrooms, she looked at Gaara every once and a while hoping he'd speak with her. She longed to hear his voice, the voice that kept her sane, how she missed that voice, even when she was in the greatest amount of pain his voice would sooth her like a soft song.
Hinata sniffle and whimpered on the archaic couch she slept on, she nursed a large bruise that accumulated on her rib. It had gone from a sickly green to a rotten purple, it hurt so very much. It was difficult for her to breath it burned her insides like malicious fire, and whenever she coughed it sent her body into a spiraling vortex of blinding pain. Her breathing came in wheezy rasps, her eyes stung from her excessive crying, and her tears had gone cold leaving sleek silver trails down her cheeks, yet hearing her heart beating everyday not knowing when the time would come that she just might not live through the day haunted her deeply. Her ears pricked at the sound of grass crunching to the sounds of footsteps. It's him! Hinata lifted herself up, her excitement completely overpowering the immense pain that surged through her lungs.
"Hello Hinata, how have you been?"
"Hi, you came early I'm so happy how was your day?" she squealed she smiled brightly at the window, clenching her aching ribs. His voice calmed her agonizing bruise, like music does to a ferocious beast. She thought she might not last the day today, but then she heard him, and now the pain is not so bad.
"It was dull, nothing happened, are you hurt? Did she beat you again?" Concerned tinged tightly around his voice. He could hear her take small gasps every time she spoke.
"It's just a bruise this time, it doesn't hurt that much anymore" she beamed, flinching at her words.
"Oh…" His voice was ridden with guilt. "So what did you read today?"
"I read a Psychics book, it's really interesting it's amazing how people can use mathematics to know how fast something can move, what did you learn about in school today?"
"Nothing interesting, we were paired up in class to read Romeo and Juliet, it was a bunch of bull crap"
"Romeo and Juliet? Is that a book?"
"No it's a play, written by some fag named William Shakespeare"
"William Shakespeare? I think I have one of his plays 'The Tragedy of Julius Caesar' it's really good"
"Hinata it's a wonder how you can love books so much" Hinata however didn't respond she fell with a soft thud, her body writhed slightly from the pain, but as she slowly slipped into unconsciousness a small smile peaked from her chapped lips. I'm so glad you came today. Gaara heard the soft thud and tried peering into the window to see what happened.
"Hinata?...Hinata?... Hinata?"
"… Hinata?, Hey are you okay?" Sasuke waved a hand in front of her face with a worried look.
Hinata snapped back from her memory to look at Gaara and Sasuke giving her weird looks.
"Sorry I was just remembering some things" she blushed a soft pink hue, grew on her pale cheeks. Gaara stared at her with an observant eye.
"You look much healthier Hinata"
Gaara grabbed a hand full of her raven tresses, feeling their silky softness with his calloused fingers. "It's reassuring to know the Uchiha's are feeding you as well" he added looking her up and down with his emerald eyes. Sasuke bristled at Gaara, his eyes bleed red with the Sharingan. But before he could tell Gaara to keep his hands to himself a woman came out of a hallway and spotted Sasuke.
"Ah… Mr.Uchiha I was just looking for you" A dark haired woman came suddenly from a hallway, she was blessed with beautiful curves and luscious red lips, her hair grew in black waves spreading to her shoulders, she looked at Sasuke with a informative face but stopped when she spotted Gaara. "… Mr. Shubaku? Strange to see you out so early with Mr.Uchiha " Kurenai came up to Sasuke, Hinata however took several steps back.
She has red eyes! Lord is she a demon in disguise? She began trembling, adrenaline pumping furiously into her body, and controlled the urge to run off screaming bloody murder. Gaara took her hand, noticing her trembling and took the opportunity to walk off with her, leaving Sasuke and Kurenai to talk. Sasuke noticed this and was about to say something but Kurenai pulled him off to another hallway and began talking.

Hinata clung to Gaara's rough hand and tried catching up with his large steps, he was leading her into a large building, it looked slightly different than the rest of the buildings perhaps it was because it had such an old look to it.
"Where are we going Gaara?"
"Don't worry about it, trust me I know you'll love this place" he glanced back at her, the edges of his mouth slowly moving upwards into an ever so small smile.
They entered the building, it was extremely quiet. Not in an eerie sort of way but in a serene way. They walked down a marbled floor that luminously glowed with the florescent lights. Gaara looked at her again.
"Close your eyes, what I want to show you is going to be a surprise"
Hinata obeyed and close her eyes, allowing Gaara to guide her slowly to her surprise. She heard door swoosh open causing her to almost open her eyes. She held tighter to Gaara's hand.
"Are we almost there?" she whispered.
He led her a little further until they stopped to a complete halt. "Okay open your eyes"
Hinata slowly fluttered her eyes open and gasped at the sight before her. Shelves upon shelves of books, books on the walls, on tables, books of different colors and size.
"What is this place?" Hinata breathed in awe.
"It's the school library, you can borrow books and read them, then when you're done you return them and get some more." muttered Gaara, amusement twinkling in his emerald eyes.
"Really!"
Hinata dove straight towards the shelves picking books and skimming through their contents, she looked like a child that had entered a toy store. Her face glistened and beamed with pure joy. She scuttled from shelf to shelf eyeing the precious books and picking the ones that caught her eye. When she had returned she placed them all on a table and began reading. She completely zoned out and got lost in her world of books. Other than Gaara Hinata had no access to knowledge other than her books, she learned everything she knew from her books. Mathematics, Biology, Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, and books of Fantasy, Horror, Drama, so many things she learned. Gaara grabbed a seat and leaned back on his chair simply staring at her, looking at her read, she looked adorable. Her face so serious, eyes moving left and right. Gaara chuckled, I don't think the Uchiha will find us here, only I know of her love for books, I know everything about her, her fears, her goals, what characters she admires most in her books, which is her favorite genre, I know which books she dislikes and why, face it Uchiha, she was mine the moment I heard her crying on that day. You know nothing about her, I have the advantage here.
"Hinata, I have something to tell you, put down your book down for a moment and listen carefully"
Hinata pried her eager eyes from her book and waited patiently. She looked at Gaara curious of what he has to say.
"That Uchiha, I don't like him he's not the kind of person you should be near, I don't like the way he touches you, and I don't like the way he looks at you" growled Gaara.
"But Gaara he's …
"Wait let me finish Hinata, I know you better than anyone and I've been to this school longer than you have, Uchiha has vicious women surrounding him every day at school, they'll tear you to pieces if they find out that your close to him" Gaara looked intently into her eyes. "You owe me your life, how else would you have survived in the fucking hell hole your whore of a mother put you in, I saved you. The least you can do is listen and obey what I say"
Hinata stayed silent. I want to be near Sasuke, but if what Gaara says is true then perhaps I should stay away. He says the girls are 'vicious' I don't think I can handle that. Just thinking about the girls made her shiver. I have to be brave then, I have to overcome this fear. Just stay calm when there are girls near you. Gaara looked as her countenance fell.
"If you stay with me during school no one will bother you, I'll make sure of that" He patted her head softly, running his fingers through her smooth hair, her scent wafted near his nose, he took a deep breath and savored the scent. Lavender. Gaara gazed deep into her pallid eyes, drawing closer to her face. You belong to me Hinata, don't look at any other man but me. He wrapped his fingers tightly around hair and placed his other hand on the crook of her neck. Hinata looked at him curiously unable to move her face with Gaara breathing hotly on her neck. His lips fluttered dangerously close to her porcelain neck when suddenly the library doors flung open with a harsh bang.
"Shubaku what the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Sasuke came in looking flustered and shaking in anger. That damn Kurenai, because of her this bastard walked away with Hinata, I had to look in all the classrooms before I got here.
"What should it matter to you, she doesn't belong to you" he scoffed ignoring Sasuke and continuing where he left off. She's mine Uchiha, you can't compete with me.
"Who the hell said she doesn't, I'm her escort so technically she belongs in my custody and quit touching her"
"What the hell are you going to do if I don't?" Gaara stood up challenging Sasuke.
"I'll fuckin show you what I'll do" Sasuke walked bristling towards Gaara.
They both walked stiff and tense towards each other. Yet right as they were about to wage war yet another bang could be heard from the doors. A pompous Deidara strutted in with a wickedly foolish smile on his face.
"Hello little kittens" he chirped cheerfully, eyeing Gaara and Sasuke.
Hinata stood up glad that the tension was broken and walked eagerly to Deidara silently thanking him for stopping this fight before it got ugly.
"Deidara!" She scrambled towards him slightly confused with Gaara and Sasuke's hostility.
Ku ku ku ku, it looks like I stepped in at a good time, Shubaku and Sasuke seemed like they were just about to go homicidal. Sasuke has competition though he'll have to win her heart soon since she's already bonded with Shubaku Ku ku ku.
"Oi Sasuke, Gaara I didn't even realize you two knew where the library even was" Deidara chuckled loudly at his joke.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Gaara asked suspiciously. How the hell does that womanizing pervert know Hinata? I better keep a careful eye on her, she's already playing with fire hanging out with Uchiha and if this bastard begins making things difficult he'll just be starting a war, and my Hinata will be the one to get hurt in the end. I better find out what this man is planning.
"Actually a cute girl in the hallway was looking for Sasuke for I told her to come here," he smiled devilishly. "She said she'd be coming in a minute"
Sasuke widened his eyes and rushed towards Deidara, he was shaking in anger and venom.
"What! Don't you see Hinata here, don't be inviting girls when I'm near her" Sasuke's aura grew dangerous. Yet again the library doors busted open with three girls, repeat three, walking in. Hinata jumped as the doors opened and slid her way behind Gaara, her heart racing and eye dilating, her chest began feeling heavy as if she were being smothered by a pillow, her palms began sweating and shaking.
"Sasuke we were all looking for you!" Three bubbly girls came rushing they're way towards Sasuke. Sasuke although annoyed, was slightly relieved it was these three particular girls. It's just Ten Ten, Ino, and Sakura, event though they're annoying they're at least tolerable. I was worried that some of the other girls came in, God, I'm going to kill Deidara for scaring me like that. I swear this guy is out to get me.
Ten Ten a girl with tomboyish looks had her hair wrapped neatly into two brown buns. She and sasuke were on good terms since she didn't constantly pester him, she new a lot about guns and knife's since her father owned one of Konoha's largest weaponry companies. Ino, a girl with sparkling blonde hair tended to talk a lot. But she knew when to shut up, she had the biggest crush on him when she was younger but the crush had faded to shameless flirting. She knew she didn't really have a chance with him, so out of habit would often try to flirt. Sakura though was the most bothersome of the three, although she didn't harass anyone who would talk to him, she did get very jealous when Sasuke would have conversations with strange girls she didn't know.
She might be a problem.
"Sasuke I tried calling you so many times how come you never answer your phone, and then you weren't in your dorm this morning, when I heard you left with Gaara and some strange girl I came as soon as I found out" Sakura skipped merrily towards him, trying very hard to refrain from touching him in any sort, if she did that then he'd completely ignore her for a whole week. She was finally on good terms with him and could hold a conversation without him leaving in anger.
"Naruto and Kiba were looking for you earlier" spoke Ten Ten. She looked curiously at Hinata, entranced by her peculiar eyes. Wow what strange eyes, is she a new girl? I've never seen her before.
"Hello girls" chirped Deidara, he walked smugly towards the girls and slung an arm around Ino and Ten Ten who in return glared at him and shoved his touchy arms from their shoulders.
Gaara saw that most of the people seemed distracted and tried walking away taking Hinata's hand. But Sasuke caught him with a fierce grip around his shoulder, digging his fingers into his skin.
"Where do you think you're going I'm her …." Sasuke was about to say 'escort' but stopped when he noticed Sakura, Ino, and Ten Ten looking at him with blank stares. Gaara smirked at him and whispered so that only Sasuke could hear.
"She's mine Uchiha, learn your place and stay away from her, she's trying to recover and you'll just make things worse, I wont have you hurt her" Gaara tightened his grip around Hinata's hand and headed towards the door.
Hinata looked at the girls with a frightened blank stare. Breath, calm down. They seem okay, they're not showing signs of aggression, and they're smiling, smiling is a good sign isn't it? Hinata's body shook like a dwindling leaf while the girls continued to stare at her curiously, finally Ten Ten came out with an affable smile.
"Hi I'm Ten Ten are you new here? I don't recall seeing your face" Ten Ten walked up to Hinata looking at her directly in the eye.
Hinata shrunk back a little but stopped herself from dashing away in a frantic panic. She looked at Ten Ten with a frightened eye, and eye that wanted to shed tears from all the fear swelling up in her. But Hinata swallowed her urge to leave and held out a shaky hand. Ten Ten gave her a surprised look. She looks really scared I wonder if that Shubaku kid is giving her problems, it looked like something was going on between him and Sasuke before we came in, and this poor girl looks like she wants to cry. Ten Ten hesitantly took Hinata's trembling hand and shook it gently.
"I-I-I'm H-hinat-ta" she stuttered horribly and Ten Ten could barely hear her voice because she whispered it so softly. Hinata quickly release her hand and brought it to her side. She looked at Ten Ten wondering what she'll do next. Ino however, popped up behind Ten Ten and smiled so brightly that her blonde shimmering hair looked dull compared to it.
"Hi Hinata, I'm Ino, you looked like you were having a conversation with Sasuke" she blurted bluntly, jealousy hinted in her high pitched voice. She walked closer towards Hinata and looked at her closely at her face. What makes her think Sasuke would give her the time of day, poor girl she'll only get her heart crushed, it's also strange that she seems close to that Gaara guy, I didn't know he liked anyone getting near him.
Hinata took several steps back breathing heavily. "It was just a small talk…" she whispered silently. Ino looked at Gaara with a strange eye, she had never been this close to him, he didn't look half bad, as a matter of fact he was really hot. But there were so many rumors about him, one was that he was in some kind of occult that used human sacrifices as part of their rituals, others gossiped that he was a wanted murder in some foreign country, and others say that he is the son of Satan himself, preying on high school girls. She never knew for sure what his story was, but none of the rumors were good.
"What the hell are you looking at?" Gaara snarled.
Ino gasped and took big steps back, hiding slightly behind Sakura. "Nothing"
Sakura looked at Hinata scrunching her nose in detest. "Are you a friend of Sasuke?" she chirped each word covered in honeyed vemon. Sasuke sensed the challenge and interrupted.
"That would be none of your business Sakura, who I talk to is not your fuckin concern" growled Sasuke. Sakura looked shocked and glared at Hinata. None of my concern huh, I've spent the past years trying to get on Sasuke's good side and now this girl just walks in and acts as if she can take Sasuke from me like it's nothing. Sakura ignored Sasuke's warning and smiled sweetly at Hinata.
"Your name was Hinata right? Well I'm sorry to break it to you but Sasuke doesn't like skinny girls with weird eyes, I thought I'd be a good person and tell you now since you'll just be heartbroken. I hope we can be friends though, you seem like such a nice girl" Sakura honestly told Hinata what she believed was the truth, she did not do it to intentionally be cruel, because she did believe that Hinata looked like a sweet girl, she was saving her from the 'other' girls. If a girl wanted to be around Sasuke they had to fight for their right, if not the other girls would chew you up and spit you out. Look at her, she looks anemic, she wouldn't last a day with Sasuke. I'm saving her from getting harassed by the other girls, even I have trouble from getting into fights with them and that's because Sasuke and I aren't even that close.
Hinata sulked and shrunk behind Gaara, Sakura, spoke to her in a nice tone but Hinata could feel some kind of distress behind it. She didn't like it, she felt inferior and very, very scared. Sweat glistened her brow and she clenched unto Gaara's shirt. Her knees began shaking. Inhale, Exhale, Gaara is here, Sasuke is here, they wouldn't let them hurt me, right? Gaara sensed her tensing and stepped towards the three girls with malice in his eyes.
"Who said she was interested in Uchiha, I suggest you quit harassing my girlfriend" he said 'girlfriend' rather possesively"...or else, I don't care if you are a girl I'll still kick your ass" he drawling his face becoming stoic and cold.
The three girls became as stiff as boards, gaping at him with their jaws wide open. How the hell did HE get such a timid looking girl for his girlfriend? Did he threaten her to be his girlfriend, I mean she looks like she's about to piss herself. Sasuke looked at Gaara with pure malice etched in every pore of his face. What did he say? She was HIS GIRLFRIEND, fuck no I'm not going to let this psycho take her. Gaara took Hinata by the shoulder and led her to the library exit. Hinata continued to shake looking at Gaara expecting him to explain what he just said. Why did they all look so shocked, is a 'girlfriend' bad… even Sasuke looked angry.
"um…Gaara what did you mean by 'girlfriend'?"
"It means that we're dating or a we're a couple, the girls at school will never go near you once word spreads that you're mine"
"So you said that so that the other girls would leave me alone?"
Hinata you are too naïve, why would I say something like that just to have the other girls stay away from you, I said it because you're mine. Gaara sighed softly and continued leading Hinata. As they walked down the hallway out of the library a tall pale man with long raven tresses walked at the opposite end. Hinata only took a glance at him but stopped on her tracks when she got a good look.
It's him.
"Gaara do you know who that man is over there?" she pointed with quivering finger, her face was one of complete awe and recognition.
"That's just Mr. Orochimaru, he's a biology teacher, why do you want to know?"
Its him, he's the man that killed Mother.
Hinata shook with excitement and took off running towards him. Her hair flailing around her face, she tugged his dark shirt wanting him to stop. Feeling his shirt being tugged he immediately became rigid and turned to look at her, his dark amber eyes widened in complete shock. His pale face became even more pallid.
"It's you" he hissed, astonishment smeared all over his countenance. He gripped her arm with a fierce hand, hurting her slightly.
"Wait I have to warn you about something" she whispered anxiety lathered all over her voice. Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. Shit, she isn't a ghost He squeezed her arm making sure it wasnt some sick hallucination. I left a witness! she probably told Itachi all about me, God fucking damn it, I have to get rid of her, if she tells any one Tsunade will hand my ass to jail. My entire drug business will crumble, I've worked too hard, I've become the biggest name in the black market, I've slithered through the ANBU for so many years and this girl will ruin it all. He looked at her with a grave countenance, his narrow eyes forming into slits.
I have to kill her.
Orochimaru glared at Gaara with accusing eyes. He smiled wickedly. I think I know how to get rid of her without leaving any strings tied to me.
Hinata tugged to him trying to whisper her betrayal in his ear. I might not be able to stop Itachi from coming, but I can at least warn him about the ANBU.
Gaara stared at the man with uneasiness. How does Hinata know this fucking fag? I don't like this, he makes me feel uneasy, he looks like a famished snake coiling around a new born mouse, if he tries to hurt her I'll kill him.
Well I hoped everyone enjoyed the chapter. I feel I must warn some of my readers that in the next chapter there will be a smudge of citrus (or whatever you call it). So I hope nobody minds. ( I personally love all the citrus groups, Lemons, Lime, yummy Xd)
On the next Oh how the silent tremble:
Sasuke isn't taking the news of Hinata being Gaara's 'girlfriend' very lightly, what will our loved crazed Sasuke do? And what's this? Konoha High School will be the hosting school for foreign up-and-coming model Neji Hyuuga. Smells like trouble.
