Hinata sighed. No really she let out a giant sigh. Like a sigh that you just like felt everywhere cause it was one of those sighs that you hate hearing cause it sounds like the person is in pain. Well Hinata was in pain. So naturally she let out a sigh. She was in pain you see cause she liked Gaara. REALLY liked Gaara. And she was in pain cause her heart was battling one question. Do I love him?

Who knows...I might...I mean why would I care so much that he talks to me? I never really cared this much what Naruto said. Sure I wanted him to notice me, but having someone talk to you then they stop talking. it's FRUSTRATING!

The inner battle happening inside the little Hyuuga girl wasn't only happening to her, but to that red headed boy as well.

Gaara was pacing. Back and forth. Frontwards and Backwards. Sideways. Every ways, he was pacing. A trouble Kazekage at work. He couldn't understand it. This girl...this...Hyuuga girl...Why do I fight with myself talking to her? Why is it so hard now? Why? I use to be able to talk to her so freely. But what has happened in just a few days? Nothing out of the ordinary...It's just...Temari and Kankuro.. They...just would never understand... "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ME!!!" He shouted to the heavens, but no one heard. You see, Gaara's room was covered in sand. He had blasted sand everywhere during his pacing. And the sand had covered up his entire room so much, that it created a sound barrier. No one could hear , see , or feel the pain inside the young Kazekage's heart. Gaara shut his eyes and started to meditate. After hours of thinking, he came up with an idea. He slowly stood up and had a frown on his face. "I've gotta talk to her."

hinata fell onto the bed. It was a very comfortable bed. It seemed to suck her in and felt like a ocean wave, slowly pulling her away from her troubles. Yet Hinata still felt them close. "I have to do something..." She didn't know what to do."I wish Sakura were here...then she could be talking and I could focus on not listening to her. Or if Ino was here. Then she would tell me all about her troubles and I could focus on them...Oh, what can I do? Wait, Take a walk! I always enjoy walks."

Hinata pulled herself off from the bed(which was very hard). She slipped into a silk jacket and a long dress. She place her feet into some petite slippers. Hinata primped herself and opened her bedroom door. There was a young ninja who made her hair stand on end.

"Hinata..."

She stood there, unable to move or speak. Her eyes stared into his. She just wanted to kiss him, but no. She didn't know how he felt.

"Gaa-...Lord Kazekage.. how are you?" she said humbling.

"hinata, You know you can call me Gaara..." he laughed. "But, I'm um great..How are you..."

"I'm good,"Hinata smiled. When did I become a liar? "I meant to thank you for inviting me to Suna for the week." I feel like I'm talking to my father. Why am I acting like this? "Well, um excuse me..."

"How can you go somewhere when I haven't even giving you a rightful tour yet?" Gaara smirked. He walked to her, making her uneasy. He stared at her with loving compassionate eyes. Why is he staring at me like that? Then, all of a sudden, common sense came back to Gaara. He stopped. "So shall I give you a tour now?" he questioned, trying to avoid her glance.

Hinata looked up to him. She felt a soft smile grow on her face. "That would be lovely."

And with that the two ninja walked toward the town...

Every area of Suna was like an exhibit in a museum. Unless you had someone you cared about with you, it would seem VERY boring. Luckily, Hinata did have someone she cared about with her. Gaara of the Desert, the Kazekage, one of the strongest ninjas alive. and she cared deeply for him. Gaara was going to show her everything in the village. Their first stop was the bookstore. He knew how much Hinata loved books, so that was his first stop.

"Here is the bookstore!" he announced. Once the employees saw that the Kazekage was there, they immediately stood at attention. They ran back and forth, making it look like they were doing something important. Which they couldn't possibly be. It was a bookstore for crying out loud. What could you really do there except wait for people to buy a book? Gaara took Hinata to each book section. From non-fiction to autobiographies, and sci-fi to comedy, every book was shown to Hinata. Except the 'adult' books. They didn't stop near those books. I mean sure, Hinata had seen a page or two because Kakashi Hatake always leaves the books wide-open in Konoha, but she didn't care for those books. She felt they were rude and inconsiderate of women.

So after buying a book or two (Gaara took it upon himself to buy them. He told her "you are my guest. so let me treat you". Of course Hinata blushed) the two went onto other parts of the town. The last stop was the city's fountain. The way the water shot from the center and overflowed into the center. The moon shone onto the water, giving it a beautiful reflection. And the wind was blowing just right to cause a tiny ripple throughout the whole fountain.

"Wow," Hinata exclaimed. "It's so beautiful...So tranquil."

"Suna's Water Fountain is said to be the one thing to calm a person," Gaara stated. "It was once stated that a huge feud was settle right here at this very spot. It is the fountain that shows all of your problems, and it tries to clear things up."

"Amazing..."Hinata whispered.

"Yes...also...it was where..."Gaara hesitated. "It was where my father proposed to my mother."

Hinata stood frozen. Her eyes large with curiosity and shame. She wanted to say that it's okay, yet she wanted to know how it happened. It's a touchy subject for him. I know. So...

"It's okay, Gaara,"Hinata comforted. "Everything will be alright..." She came close to him. She gave him a hug.

What is she doing? Does she...No...no one could ever possibly ... Gaara stood there for a moment, then returned the hug. "I know it will be alright. Everything always turns out okay at the fountain..."

Realizing that they were that close, Hinata and Gaara stopped hugging. They sat on a bench near the fountain. They both sat, listening to the water and to the other person's heartbeat. They both closed their eyes and enjoyed the silent peace and love. It's odd. Some people hate the silence, but not these two. It is one of their favorite moments in life. However, like all moments, things tend to ruin peace. Cause really, when is life always peaceful?

"You know,"he broke the silence."It wasn't suppose to be like this..."

"Huh?" Hinata gasped. "What do you mean?" Is he talking about what I think he's talking about?

"Ah, Hinata you know what I mean...You know how I've been treating you ever since we've gotten here..." Gaara shouted. He stood up and started pacing around the fountain. He put his index finger and thumb and rubbed them against his temples. It was bothering him like nothing ever before. "I'm sorry, but I can't hang with you or talk with you any longer..."

"What?"Hinata was shocked. She didn't understand. Gaara had been so nice before...but now he's acting like...this. She didn't know how to explain it. "Why are you like this? Why are you acting so different? You..aren't how you were before.."

"I know...I've been fighting it..." he sighed. "You see..my siblings..."

"I know its hard, Gaara," Hinata cried. "But you can't let your siblings control your life.."

"I know!" Gaara unexpectedly shouted. "But if they don't then it will release..."

"What? What will release? Your demon?" Hinata questioned. What is he talking about?

"Uh..no. Not that. You have just gotta trust me Hinata," Gaara explained. "I might seem to be nice to you, but trust me, you don't wanna get with a guy like me. I seem nice at first, but then it all goes haywire..."

"Fine,"Hinata cried. "Look Gaara I'm tired of this. It's hurting me, and I really don't understand anymore why you asked me to come. You're brainwashed thinking you need your siblings approval when they are just like you, wanting something but afraid of what the others will say. I know why. It is cause family is all you three use to have. Now, now that you're older and you're finding something more, you want to hold on...Well, I know what you feel. Neji and I felt the same thing. However, he had someone else. I only had family. Now...I don't know...I thought.. Maybe...Well, until you see what you should do, I'm not leaving my room. Not for food. Or drink. Nothing. not until you see."

And with Hinata stormed off, crying, sobbing and a tear fell into the fountain and cause the water to become unbalanced. It splashed some water onto Gaara's shirt. However, he didn't realize. Because when Hinata was out of sight, he sat on the bench again and he let a tear fall into the fountain. "What have I done..."

"It's what you haven't done..."

Gaara turned to see his big sister with a stern look on her face. Her eyes had a love with a mix of pure angry. A mix of envy and pure compassion. Hatred, bitterness, yet sweet and gentle.

"Temari...what is it? I wanna be alone ri–"

"She's right about all of it you know..." Temari cut in. "We, Kankuro and I, we're fighting it. Fighting finding someone else. And well I don't know...I think I've found someone who can make me happy but he doesn't feel that way. And you don't know what happened to Kankuro. He kind of likes Ino, but he can't tell her.. So since she didn't know, Ino went out with some other guy named Sai. And they kissed. Well Kankuro saw and now he doesn't want to go back to Konoha ever again. He's troubled. Cause well... You see..."

Temari sat down next to her little brother and smiled. "Gaara, I know that we pretended to hate Hinata, but the truth is..." Temari sighed.

"What? What is it?" Gaara questioned...

"We're so jealous cause our little brother found something before us..."

"What? What did I find?"

"Love"
