(sorry I have majors writing block)
(Naruto is not himself in this chap. He gets a little crazy so bear with me fellow readers)
(Im sorry that this chap is so short! Like I said I have majors writing block!)
I hate my dad. I hate this war. Especially this war. My dad started this war. I couldn't even give Kiba a proper funeral! One of my best friends and I couldn't even get a proper ceremony!
It has been only a day since Kiba's death and the only thing I could get him was a wooden coffin and a brave priest. Now a days, people don't dare leave their house.
I never went to see Naruto and I know he was freaking out about me but I just couldn't leave yet. I'd have to tell him what happened and I just couldn't say out loud Kiba's death. It was all that would play in my head. It could have easily been me.
I know that Naruto will be upset that he didn't come to Kiba's funeral and that was my fault but I didn't want to leave Kiba's side.
After it was over I slowly walked to Naruto's house-well our house. When I finally got there I was bombarded by my husband right when I stepped through the threshold.
"Where have you been!" he yelled in my ear, "I was going crazy and I tried to go out and look for you but my dad was being a jerk and wouldn't let me." He makes a fake sad face at me.
"Yes, guilty as charged."
Minato smiles and me and gets up to leave, "I'll leave you two alone."
I nod my head in thanks and pull back from Naruto.
"Look I have something I need to tell you."
"SHH, let me just hug you." He mumbles into my shoulder.
"No, let me tell you." I barely get that out before there's a loud knock at the door.
"I'll get it." He says.
Sasuke and Sakura come in. Sasuke of course was sending waves of loneliness and Sakura was bubbling with giddiness.
"Hey Naruto and Hinata! I can't believe you two got married and I wasn't even invited!"
I felt Naruto tense up and just stare at Sasuke. It suddenly came back to me that they have seen each other. The day I first met Naruto I went to Sasuke thinking he could help me prove myself to my father. I grab Naruto's hand holding him back and I look at Sasuke who's just staring at us with no emotion. I know it doesn't look like it but he has changed and I think that's because of Sakura.
Sakura kept talking and talking and we all listened to her. It felt like she didn't even stop to breathe until she started talking about Kiba.
"Did you hear? About Kiba?" She said faintly.
"I sent out a squad for a surprise attack against the vampires." Sasuke said, feeling like he had to explain, "And well they came back and…" he left it at that and Sakura went into his arms tearing up.
"What did you do?" Naruto yelled, taking a step closer to Sasuke, "And aren't you a vampire!"
"Naruto, me and Sasuke are in love and he's going to support me no matter what and I can guarantee that it was all an accident." Sakura said.
"What exactly happened?" He asks.
This time I speak and I say everything that happened. From when me and Kiba we're walking out together, to the funeral I had for him. I left out the last words Kiba told me because I wanted that memory to only belong to me. When I was done Naruto's face showed a mixture of emotions. Disbelief, sadness, and even anger.
"Why didn't you come tell me?" He yells.
I flinch back, he's never talked to me that way and I didn't know what to do. I also got embarrassed because Sasuke and Sakura were just watching us. Sakura looked like she wanted to say something but Sasuke held her back. The loud yell even had Minato coming out to look at what was going on.
"I knew I should have but I just… I don't know, I couldn't leave him."
"You knew? He's my friend! He was buried practically alone and your defense was that you couldn't leave him!" Naruto gets so mad that it looks like his pupils are changing and his eyes looked like they turned red and I had to take a double look but before I knew it they were back to being blue.
"Son, calm d-" Minato said before he was interrupted.
"No! My friend has been dead for hours and I just found out! I didn't even hear it from you Hinata! We're you even going to tell me!"
I barely open my mouth before he storms out yelling that he's going to the graveyard and I just stand there dumbfounded staring after him. Sakura looked like she wanted to comfort me but Sasuke told her to let me be and steered her out the door. So I was standing there still staring at the door with Minato nearby.
"Just give him time." He tells me.
I nod, "Yeah I know. This is my fault though."
"He'll realize that he overreacted and he'll come back and apologize."
"I don't know." This was our first fight and it was my entire fault, "I think it'll be awhile until he comes back and I'm the last person he wants to see any time soon." I walk to the door.
"Where are you going?" You can hear it in his voice that he thinks I should stay here and wait for my husband but I was still sad and embarrassed about the whole episode.
"I don't know when I'll be back but don't tell him to wait up, if he does come back looking for me." And with that I step out with no general direction in mind.
It got dark really fast and before I knew it I was in the park sitting on a swing. I couldn't help but think of Naruto the whole time.
"What's wrong with you?"
I look up to see a man with spiky red hair. I got a sense that he was not a threat.
"Nothing, I'm surprised you're not hiding in your house. This little war is getting brutal." I say glumly.
"I could say the same thing."
"I'm a vampire, I can take care of myself."
He doesn't say anything and instead takes a seat in the swing next to me.
"I don't have a house here. I came to see an old friend" He tells me.
I nod, "You're a brave human."
"Thanks, and you're a pretty vampire."
"How'd you know I was a vampire?" I ask.
"Well how'd you know I was a human?" He questions back. We both just look at each other and smile.
"The names Gaara." Gaara says.
"Hinata Hyu- I mean Uzumaki, Hinata Uzumaki." I urgently say.
"Uzumaki as in Naruto Uzumaki?"
Surprised I respond "Yes, he's my husband."
"You would be married," He murmurs quietly but I still hear him and I blush a little. "Naruto's lucky. I came here to visit him."
"Why didn't you go to the house then?"
"Well, I saw this beautiful sad woman on a swing, and it goes against all my morals to leave her alone." He grins at me.
"Oh so now it's beautiful?" I smirk at him. He looks at me for a second before his smile drops and he gets serious.
"Now why are you here instead of in the arms of your husband?"
I tell him everything, how it's my entire fault. Why Naruto has every right to be mad.
"Me and Naruto have been friends since we were little kids." He tells me, "He told me once about his mother. She just disappeared one day and he kept questioning his dad who just stopped living, was how he put it. Days passed and finally his dad told him about his mother's death. Naruto went for days missing his mother and his dad didn't know how to tell him."
We both sat in silence, giving me time to digest the news.
"Oh! I didn't know! No wonder he was so mad." I bury my head in my hands, "He's my husband and I didn't know! "
Gaara got up and knelt down in front of me, gathering me in his arms, he hugged me tight to his chest.
"Shhh, it's alright." He coos softly while stroking my hair gently.
"We got married so fast that we don't know all the things we should know about each other!" I felt pitiful for crying on him but I couldn't stop now that I'd started.
He didn't say anything and we sat like this for minutes until I finally recovered and pulled back.
"You must be really great friends with Naruto for him to tell you that." I mutter.
He nods, "Yeah, we are. I owe him a lot. He saved me."
I look at him quizzically.
"I used to be so quiet and full of revenge until I met him. I'm so carefree because of him." He smiles at me, "Now how about we go see if Naruto's home."
"I think I should give it more time."
"It's pitch black out here, he's probably out looking for you right now. I think you should go home and wait for him. His temper has probably died down now."
"Your right but…" My voice breaks and I feel the tears come back and Gaara gathers me in a hug again. We sit like that again for seconds. He's right I should go home and make dinner.
"Let go of her." A malicious voice growls out.
Naruto? I turn to him and see a big dark figure standing nearby.
