Hinata was squished in the back of the bug again. Temari was in the front driving wildly. Kankuro was gripping the interior of the car like his life depended on it-which it did- and Gaara was watching Hinata's reaction.

Ever since they were young the shy Hyuuga had amazed the red head. Never did she say a cruel word to him, or glare at him. Instead she played with him in the sandbox and giggled at him when he made her sand butterflies. She shared her lunch with him as well as some of her secrets. Not all of them, as he had thought before. She was still keeping things from him but he would find them out soon.

Hinata could feel his gaze at the back of her head. She was twisted in the seat so she was facing the window, and not Gaara. She ignored the feeling. When he wanted to say something he would.

"So, Hina, are you going to be in trouble or anything with your family for leaving?" Temari looked at her from the mirror. "Your father is a real jerk as I can recall."

"The school might punish me. We have a curfew on Sundays. I broke it by an hour." She twirled her skirt hem in her hands. "I'll be fine though."

"Next time you kidnap her, do it on vacation? And oh yeah, give us more of a warning." Kankuro slunk in his seat while his brother glared daggers at the top of his head.

Hinata laughed. She saw the school in the distance and slipped her shoes on and unbuckled her seatbelt. Temari drove into a parking spot and shot of the car. Then she turned around, suddenly serious and said, "Do you want us to explain to the principal?"

"That's ok. I can do it myself." Kankuro got out and lifted the latch so she could get out. He held hand out for her. "A hand for a lady?" Hinata accepted it and climbed out.

"Now that you have to go...I DON'T WANT YOU TO!!!!!!!" Temari screamed. She hugged Hinata fiercely, while the Hyuuga was choking for air. When she realized the younger girl, Hinata was almost blue.

"Sorry!"

Gaara could only watch as his siblings said good-bye. Temari apologized again and said bye. Kankuro patted her on the head and then stood to the side.

"I would like to say goodbye alone."

Temari and Kankuro left, shooting anxious looks over there shoulders. They speed to the end of the parking lot and waited. Neither could see what was happening.

Hinata was nervous. "Umm, thanks for bringing me to the art gallery today, Gaara. It was really-"

Hinata never finished her sentence because Gaara leaned over and brushed his lips over her cheeks. She shivered. It felt like a butterfly wing grazing the skin gently. He had never done that to her.

He smirked. She looked confused and she opened her mouth to speak but he interrupted her.

"I have to go Hina. But I expect to see you again real soon." He patted her head, like his brother had down and sauntered down the driveway.

Hinata was frozen. Then, she ran to her dorm room. She was already in trouble. Might as well face it.

The next day after school, Hinata sat at a desk, serving Day 1 of her two week detention. Another week had been added on for her breaking curfew. So she was serving it under the eyes of Asuma Sarutobi. He was bored and read a book, while the occupants of the room did whatever.

Hinata was not all to pleased. The other two who were here with her weren't her favorite people. One was hanging on her and the other was just silently glaring a hole in the others head. Oh joy.
