kank hina chapter 8--
"I don't care what you want from me! I don't care it could be ANYTHING, just help me out! please, Temari"
the pethetic look of desperation gripped Temari's heart, her brother was a mess and as his sister she wondered if it was her duty to help. The only problem was: did that duty still apply if you needed to go against you'r other brother to do so? Temari was confused.
"I asking you as you'r brother, help me ATLEAST talk to her!"
Kankuro didn't know what to do, he wasn't sleeping and had little appitite, the rings around his eyes would give Gaara's a run for there money, he didn't understand why! he just didn't! He hated Hinata, hated her for ever walking into his life, though, lately, Kankuro had been hateing everyone, even himself. the only reason Kankuro wanted to see Hinata was to... was to... the suna ninja had no idea why he wanted to see her... maybe to scream at her? maybe to sabatoge her and his brother's marraige? or maybe even to kiss her, hold her one more time? He didn't know, he didn't care, all he wanted to do was be able to eat and sleep again, and maybe this would help.
"I... I can't..."
Temari had to ask herself wether she was more loyal to Gaara or Kankuro, being torn between siblings she was forced into a decision. The horible truth Temari would be ashamed to ever admit was that she WAS more loyal to one, and that was Gaara, she could not disobay him, as a servent to Lord Kazekage AND as a sister.
"It's not my place..."
I'm so sorry
Kankuro, please forgive me.
Kankuro desided cursing at her was useless, he saw right through her, he favored love for a sibling that scarity says should be love as an equal to him, so instead he simply slapped her, cold and dry across her cheek.
he turned around slowly and started walking away. "I hate you, I hate everyone."
As she watched him leave she fell to her knees, she finally understood the pain her broher was enduring, Kankuro was in love for the very first time, though he couldn't see, much less have the one he loved. But, Gaara had gone through more, and, dispite her WANTING to help Kankuro she just couldn't go against Gaara.
Hinata was laying down next to Gaara thinking.. thinking about her friends back in Konoha, Neji, Kiba, Shino and even Naruto, in some ways she missed them, in other's she didn't even have the brain space to feel that emotion, Kankuro had stollen all the 'miss' she could possibly feel.
"Are you troubled?"
With the most conincing smile she could muster she turned to Gaara "No, I'm fine."
It was sad, the whole situation was sad, Hinata, stuck in a marraige she didn't want to be in because she realized she wanted to be in a marraige she originally didn't want to be in UNTILL it was to late. ..Or rather, in her marraige with Kankuro, she felt unwelcomed, she didn't particularlly have any strong feelings for him at that time, but then again, they do say: You don't know what you got 'till it's gone.
this was the case.
"Hinata, excuse my being cruel, but it'd be best if you forgot about him."
Gaara was a smart person, observative and bright, he realized what was on his wifes mind, the ONLY thing on her mind... His brother.
"I... I don't know what you mean."
"I have known Kankuro all of my life, he's extreamly stubborn, don't count on him, he will stand by himself before he stands behinds anyone else. he's a selfish person, Hinata"
"I'm... I'm n- not..."
"please, it's fine, I'm offering advice, not scolding you."
"Gaara-Sama, may I ask you something truthfully?"
"Yeah"
"why did he leave me?"
"I figuered he wouldn't tell you... Hinata, in the beginning of you'r arrangment I gave him a mounth to deside if he'd stay with you, the month was up and he came to see me, because of his constant complaining me and Temari desided to help him, we arranged for me to take his place."
"So... so he didn't... he didn't want to leave?"
"Not at the time, no, but the arragments where already in place, I couldn't help if he wasn't up for it that day."
"He... He.. He didn't want to leave!?"
Hinata started to backout of the bed, a disconnected happiness phasing her body.
"Well, no... but like I said I wouldn't depend on him taking you..."
"But, Gaara! he didn't want to go! he didn't want to!"
The Hyugga was in the midst of pulling her hoodie over her head when she desided it was of no importance, she flashed Gaara a 'Thank you' smile and started running off.
"Hinata! where are you...!!??"
"I'm so sorry, Gaara, I have to find him, Forgive me, please."
A genuine look of appologie washed her smile, and with that Gaara gave an almost-grin, serving to her as an approval.
Hinata bowed formally and ran off into the night, not knowing exactly where she was going, all she knew what that she needed to find Kankuro, she NEEDED to be with him again.
Gaara, to some degree, knew this was going to happen, as he had started to see the person Hinata was he had realized something, she was in love with someone, and it was surely not him, his brother, Knakuro had stollen her heart, and in order for his brother to be happy... for Hinata to be happy, they had to be togeather.
