Disclaimer: I'll say this for the last time 'caus as you might had read, I said that it's a bit useless to do that. Anyways, 'Ahem' : I do not own Naruto or any other related stuff, only the story the characters (who are not mine) are in.

P.s. if you think this chapter won't be long, minimize the web page in half and you'll see how long it was for me to type this in one night. It is 5 pages long so please enjoy

Recap: "...o...k" "Sit on the bench" he said while pointing a wooden bench. She shook her head and said "No, y-you'll need to pay f-for the movie, I'll come." "Ok" . Gaara grabbed Hinata's wrist and started pulling the now scared Hinata because she said to herself "OMG! What have I put my self in?!?! This is the end!"

----------

As they ran (He ran as he-forcefully-dragged Hinata along) to the video store, Hinata asked Gaara if he could stop running since she was still a little sick, but it wasn't contagious. Suddenly, all the joy on Gaara's face left. She felt bad about that; she never liked to sadden a person. She thought on how she could make him smile again; it was a smile that we don't see every now and then.

As she was gonna speak, she realized that this wasn't her usual road to the store. She held her hand close to his shoulder, she lend her hand and as he turned, she asked : "Um...wh-where are we?, I'm not used to here."

"Don't worry, I know the way. I too used to go the other way, until I found this road..." Hinata looked around and saw just trees and a little sandy road. He continued "By now...you will be at 3 blocks from the store. And now," He stopped, which make Hinata bumped into him-again. He pushed two bushes aside and the store was visible. "We have arrived." he continued as they walked threw.

"Wow ! That is faster then the other road." she said, stunned that it didn't took long, compare to the other way. "Heh, if you think that was fast, it would only take 30 sec to go back home." "Huh?" "I'll explain later, Miss Hyuga."

Hinata blushed at the word 'Miss Hyuga' only the maids at her father's house said that. A 'ding-dong' was herd (the 'ding-dong' we here when we open the door of some stores) and broke Hinata from her thoughts. "Were here." "Oh..." "And Miss Hyuga," "What?" "I'm sorry for my 'child-ish' actions, I'm seeing a doctor soon." "But, it's ok to have a childish side, I too have one. And besides, I personally appreciate t-that side." Gaara smiled a bit, just enough to say a thank you.

They entered the horror section and Gaara took 'House of a thousand corpses' and 'Evil has eyes' "B-But I thought you said 1 movie, not 2 !?" "Well, I thought that you may choose which one you want to watch and I'll watch the other one at home." "But I'm the one renting it. I'm responsible for anything that happens to it!" Hinata said trying to convince him to just choose one as they were walking to the counter to pay them.

They stopped at the counter and saw Sakura and Ino working there. "OMG!! HI HINATA!!" they both said in unison as they approached. "How are you." Sakura said, "Who is he? Is he your new boyfriend?" Ino said right after Sakura. Hinata blushed as Ino said 'boyfriend'. She backed-up and said shyly "N-No, he isn't, H-He's just my new neighbor. That's all.." "Oh, I get it now!" Sakura said. She turned at Gaara and said "You have a crush on Hinata and moved next to her to stalk her! Do you!" She said, mad.

Gaara had his eyes wide open, hi head tilt a bit on the back . "What are you crazy girls talking about?...And can you talk a bit lower, your getting on my nerves." He said a bit embarrassed as he looked around to see that all the every one was staring at them . "No, no, no! You don't get it!" Hinata said a bit louder then usual. "I'm the one who moved out of my father's mansion, so I-I guess that I'm the new neighbor." "Ohhh..." Ino and Sakura said as they realized what she said. "But how, are you under aged to do live on your one?"Sakura said. "Well, s-since my father is a politician, he made an exception for me" 'He would have done it even if I said no.' Hinata continued in her thoughts.

"Anyways, this is a video store, so, pay-up who ever is renting it." Ino said, breaking the silence. "I will." Hinata said. Sakura smiled and took the 2 movies. Her eyes widen as she saw them. "Hinata, since when do you rent horror movies?" "Yeah! I thought you said that you will never ever see a horror movie since the 'incident' whit neji a few years ago?" Ino said."Well, I was thinking that I should celebrate my 'moving-out' so Neji offered to watch a scary movie." "Okay..." Sakura said. "And it's then I met Gaara." Hinata turned to see him but, at her surprise, he was sleeping on his to feet's and whit wis arms crossed. Between his breath, he said "Too." "Much." "Girl-talk.". The 3 girls sweat dropped (anime style). Hinata poked his arm and he woke up.

"So, who pays? It's 6.97$." Gaara could see the sorrow in Hinata's eyes; she didn't had enough money; she didn't knew that she would get an other movie after she got the 1st one (before Gaara asked her to change it).

"I will." Gaara said. He took out his credit card from his sleeve, held it between his two fingers and turned it a bit on the side. As the card turned, the lights made reflects since it was bran new and they were shining light(like in Naruto Shippuuden when Kakashi opened the new book that Naruto gave him) and they could almost here an angelic 'LAAAAH!'.

Sakura took the card and Ino scanned the movies. "Oh, and I will also take a bag of pop-corn please." Gaara said. Ino nudged and put the movies and the pop-corn in a plastic bag. "Bye! See you soon!" Sakura and Ino said.

"Oh, by the way," Hinata said before leaving "Why do you work here?" They both turned to the side and saw Sasuke, he was working in the pizza section(the movie store is built whit a pizzeria in it) he did the baking. Since it was hot there, he had took off his shirt-as usual-and then he saw that Sakura and Ino were looking at him. He sighed and closed the door that linked the two places.

"Bye now!" Hinata said. They both waved their hand. "See y'a soon!" They said in unison.

As Gaara and Hinata went out, they sighed at the relief of not having those two whit them anymore. "How do you manage to stay whit them?" "Really small ear plugs." "That's not crazy at all. I might use that when my sister comes and visit." She giggled, looked up and saw that it was quite late. "Remember when I said that I know a way back home that would take 30 seconds?" Gaara suddenly said. "Um...yeah." "Well, follow me." "Ok.". They went to the back of the store and went threw a little pebble-ish road, large enough for one person at the time. After 10 steps, they were at Gaara's back yard.

Hinata stood there confused, she didn't knew why she didn't saw that before.

"Are you coming, Miss Hinata?" His voice broke her up whit her thoughts. "Oh, yes. Sorry.". She ran to catch up whit Gaara. "May I ask your name?" "It's Gaara of the Sand." he answered. "Nice to know you, Gaara." She replied.

They walked across the road and arrived at Hinata's. She turned the knob to open the door, but it was locked. She took her key and unlock it. At her surprise, it was dark and Neji seemed to not be there. She went to the kitchen, opened the lights and saw a note on the frig. It said :

Dear Hinata,

I'm sorry for this inconvenience, but your father called. He asked me to come back home. But as you were going to the video, I had the time to do the kitchen, the bathroom and the living-room. I appreciated the time I had spent whit you and I'm sorry to not be whit you as I promised, I hope you can forgive me.

Sincerely, Neji Hyuga.

Hinata suddenly felt lonely, she turned to see the front door and saw Gaara waiting there whit his arms crossed and his face was plain as ever. She walked up to him and said: "Well, b-better give back the video..."in a sad and depressing tone "What makes you say that?" Gaara questioned. "The reason I went to get a movie is because I wanted to celebrate my 'moving-out' whit my cousin Neji, and since he left, I can't watch the movie...not alone, that's for sure." she stated "Oh..." .

There was a moment of silence.

"M-Maybe...no never mind..." Hinata said, breaking the silence. "Maybe what?" Gaara said. "T-That maybe... you would, i-if you would like to...s-stay and watch the movie w-whit me?" She closed her eyes, waiting for the disprovement of her idea. "Ok" His 'Ok' was surprising. It had a bit of joy in it. 'Maybe it won't be that bad...right?' they both thought.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
