So...
To fix that, I decided to do a long chapter!! It starts funny, and ends 'awwww' :3 enjoy!
-yayz-
well, let'S begin :3
Recap:
"Yeah..." Gaara said, looking at the window, he remembered that he was hearing rain falling when he was unconscious and he realized that when Hinata stopped crying, the rain has stopped at the same time. Maybe...just maybe, angels were crying whit Hinata, the fallen angel. His fallen angel.
Whit the sun setting down and the rays warming up a gentle soft skin, woke up a sleepy Hinata, who found herself tucked in the arms of a resting Gaara. Still drowsy, Hinata stayed in place, trying to analyze the current situation. There was a silence, a scream, a thump, a 'OMG what happened', a 'I'm okay', a 'is everything's alright?', and an other silence.
On the floor now laid a fainted Hinata, a woken up Gaara and a confused nurse. Gaara got off the bed and grabbed Hinata as he said that it was fine. The nurse nodded and left. As the nurse left, hut lays Hinata on his bed (again) and an other nurse came.
"Hello, I'm the nurse in training, I'm here for a check-up before you leave, M. Saba-" The pink haired nurse stopped in her tracks as she looked up her note pad as she remembered that he was the one who attacked her beloved blond lover. She looked at him, hatred showing up. She compressed her hate and pretending everything was alright.
"S-so...Sabaku...Can you please sit here for a while?" Sakura said whit clenched teeth.
Not much trusting the girl (he still doesn't knows who is Sakura), he sat in the chair Sakura mentioned. She asked him to take off his shirt and he did and threw it on the floor as his black shirt [insert reading fangirls screech and Sakura sat before him. She checked his ribs by poking it a bit to hard. Every poke, Gaara winced and at every wince, she poked harder. When Gaara finally was on the floor, he shouted "What the hell are you doing you mad woman!?" as she got pushed after hysterically poking him.
"Do you know who I am!?" shouted Sakura.
"Yeah, a mad nurse wannabe"
"..."
Whit that last word, we could only hear loud bangs as desk and chairs were used as missals and shelter and braking a few things here and there. Hinata woke up by the loud noise but was knocked out by a pen that was madly thrown by a enraged pinky. She now had a blue spot in the middle of her forehead. As Gaara saw that Hinata was hit, he knew that he must take cover. Before he can even react, a desk flew just in front of his face. Like in slow motion. It was just a few millimeters from his nose. He was stunned and just took cover behind it.
Suddenly, Tsunade, the head doctor who was also the owner of the hospital and Sakura's teacher, came in and then every stopped. As Tsunade was about to say a word, Gaara took a flower vase that surprisingly haven't broke and threw it at Sakura, that hit her right in her face, like a little kid, still hiding behind the thrown desk, refusing defeat.
And that was the last straw.
Gaara and Hinata were now walking in the streets in silence. The were kicked out of the hospital.
"..."
"..."
"...so..." Hinata started. "How did this happened...us being kicked out...?"
"...uhh...well, that pink girl just suddenly started stabbing me whit her nails and the she started throwing stuff at me, and well, she deserved the vase in the face!" he said as he crossed his arms on his chest and looked on the other side while pouting.
Hinata giggled, he looked cute when he was immature. It then made her remember about Naruto. The one who she loved for as long as she could remember, the one who gave her a reason for existing, the reason she moved out, the reason she found Gaara...She looked at Gaara back again and then asked him to follow her. And he did so.
They arrived at a store that sell kimonos. She liked going there when she was young. When her mother was still alive.
"Why are we here?" asked Gaara after seeing the shop.
"Well, the carnival's theme is traditional, so it's kimonos we need to wear...unless you want to stand out among every one else..."
"Oh...fine then..."
They entered the shop. Gaara was amazed by the number of kimono it held and apparently, they were all unique. He followed Hinata throughout the shop. Since he didn't like shopping, he gave Hinata money asked her to chose one for him while. He waited outside in a bench, making doodles in the sand.
He looked at the sun to know what time it was, and realized that it will be soon nightfall and that the festival will be tomorrow and that they still haven't practice being a couple. And what would happen if they ask how they met or, so they live together or worst...if they have done 'it'. Yep, they were doomed.
Minutes later, he saw Hinata coming out of the store whit a big plastic bag. She motioned him to follow back home. He got up and walked to her.
"So...what did you bought me?" he asked as he tried to get a peek in the bag.
"Well, I took a color that I think that might fit you, but, I've never seen that color on you so...I hope it's fine. But I shall only show it to you once home." she said as she held the bag on her other side. He hoped it wasn't green. He hated it whit no reason what so ever...well...yeah...there's a reason...
Flash back
It was near Christmas and his sister and brother bought him a sweater for the cold since they decided that they shall spend the holidays elsewhere from the hot desert. It's not much jolly when there's no snow and when it's 30 degrees c°.
So, once they arrived at the snow country, they gave it to him and the sweater was green. Green red X-mas. The holiday he hated the most. And to make it worst, a passing kid commented something about being santa's helping elf. And the worst-es part was that he was kinda small for his age back in the days. So, he got mad, hurt a few bystander here and there and being banished from the country. The usual.
End of flash back
'Wow, I must stop being kicked of, soon, there will be no where else to go...'
'omg, I just realized, all the banishment (except the hospital) was a part responsible by me! YAY! Go me!'
'...It was you!!! -points imaginary accusing finger-'
'what, they deserved it...'
'...true...but still...you are evil...'
'Why thank you, didn't you know I was working on it ever since...forever :)'
'sigh so, what are you going to do today? What will your torturing will be about?'
'sly grin nothing...'
'...I don't like that face...what are you hiding!?'
'You'll see'
'See what?'
'...'
'...Shukaku...?'
'...'
'...great...he left...what if it's a part of his torture,...what if his torture is about me going crazy by being to much thinking...what if what I'm thinking is a part of my torture...what about if it's not that and he's planning the mega super torture of death right now...what if he's slowly rotting my brain cells...what if-'
As he started going hysterical in his mind Hinata, on the other hand, started to think about the festival. Like what will be the 'special price' of the fair since it said that we don't buy the ticket whit money, it just said:
The entrance of this year's fair is not buy-able whit money, you will know when you shall be there...hehehe...
'Jeez, who in the hell wrote this flyer!?' thought Hinata
coughjirayiacoughcough
She was now starting to get nervous. What if it's something like: give something precious to you, or, show how much you love your companion or...worst... [censored
Now, we have a crazy Gaara and a freaked out Hinata. Good thing no one was on the road at the same time, or else peoples might have thought that they escaped from an psychiatry. What a lovely couple 3
Back at Hinata's
They entered the front door and hang their coats and stuff and Hinata laid the bag on the kitchen table and she took her kimono. "I'm gonna try my new kimono, yours is there too, you can go try it if you want." said Hinata as she rushed in her room. Gaara took what clothes was left in it. It was white and light blue. So far, he never wore that combination of colors. He went to the bathroom.
For the 2nd time, he went to a white bathroom whit invaded by fake flowers, whit a tropical smell that was puffed out by a little machine every 30 minutes.
Flash back #2
It was the night that Gaara slept at Hinata's. He went to the bathroom to go get dressed. He analyzed the room and found out a little white machine on the counter. He looked closer to see what it does. He waited and waited. Not seeing anything to do whit it. He shook it. Still nothing. He grabbed it and held it closer to see what was in the hole on the top. But, curiosity killed the tanuki. A wisp of freshener blew in his eyes. He fell on the floor, rolling left to right in an horrible eye pain. Then, at hat precise moment, he saw a flashback.
Flashback within a flashback
'Kanky, why do you wear make-up on your face?' asked a 3 years old Gaara
'It's not make-up, it's face paint!' Replied a ticked off Kankuro
'Kanky, why do you play whit dolls?'
'It's not dolls, their deadly action figures!!'
'Kanky, why do you wear cat-man's emo costume?'
'Who the hell is that!?'
'Kanky, why your named Kanky?'
'It's not Kanky, it's kankuro!'
'Kanky, why do you smell?'
'Why do you ask all these question. Panda face?'
'Cuz I'm still young, I don't know every thing.'
'Grrr...Gaara...?'
'Wat?'
'SAND IN YOUR EYES!!'
receives sand in eyes
'WAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!'
End of flash back within flashback
After rolling frantically on the floor as he flashback-ed, he stopped. He got up and went to the sink. But he dumbly missed the sink and it the door, but the crash was soften by something soft. He might have heard a mumble ( Rock Lee who was tied up on the bathroom by Neji while he was helping him decorate Hinata's house) but he let it go since the pain in hies eyes were killing him. He finally reached the sink after he hit he toe on the corner of the sink. Did I mentioned it was a Friday the 13th? So...he finally rinsed his eyes and pretended that it never happened.
End of flashback #2
He looked at the freshener thingy heinously for a few seconds before he decided to hide it inside the drawer. Case solved. He took his blue kimono, but unlike he has seen on girls, there's pants...We can now say that he was completely lost. He has no idea what so ever how to put it. He tried a lot of ways, but all failed. He wanted to scream, tear off his hair, break something and cry, but, being a man, he wont.
"Gaara, are you ok in there, your taking a lot of time...d-do you need help?" Hinata asked from the other side of the bathroom door.
"Uhh..." This was a moment of crisis. A question between life and death! If he accepted, he would seem weak, but if he declined, he would end up giving up and he still would seem weak...Decisions, decisions...
"Uhh...yeah?..." he said, still unsure.
"A-alright, I'm coming..." Hinata said as she turned the knob.
She pushed open the door and entered while closing the door facing it. "What is it that you need help fo-" Hinata stop dead in her tracks when she had turned to see Gaara...in underpants! (yep, and not boxers) she now was a new color of bright red and she might have invented a new shade of red.
Gaara just looked at her, he didn't realized that he was only in underpants, besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't bother since he's used to do that back at home when he shared his room whit his brother. He looked where she was looking. He then looked back at her. A few seconds later... almost completely undressed passive boy super shy un-perverted girl not good. Once he realized that, he quickly took hies former pants and turned around and buckled his belt. Checked if his zipper was well zipped and turned back to find a fainted Hinata. What a splendid day, isn't it :)
Gaara looked down and sighed. He decided to go put her in her bed until she wakes up. He takes her bridal style and open the door whit one of his hands, but the door was locked! le gasp His eye twitched. "Could the day get any worst?"
No more lights.
"...You've got to be kidding me!!"
Lights are back.
"...twich..."
Unbelieving what has happened today, he was soon going to get a burn-out, so he sat on the toilet and gently laid Hinata on his lap. Her hair smelt nice, silky and longer than he thought. Whit his left arm holding Hinata, he brushed her hair whit his right arm's finger. It was also soft and untangled. Needless to day, Gaara was already bored.
To find something to do, he looked around and saw something that he never saw before. A radio. He reached out to get it, but he didn't reached it. He took Hinata and make sat her on the floor where her back was against the sink. He got up and brought the radio next to him. He tried to play the radio, but he couldn't get any station. He opened the cd player on the top and saw a burned CD whit nothing written on it. He pressed on play, waited so it could load and then, he heard just instrumental music, it was really soothing; it had piano's violin, flutes, small drums and stuff. If he wasn't he might have fallen asleep.
Time pass and he reached to the last song, and he realized that it was the exact music that he used to know when he was younger.
"A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather" Gaara unconsciously started the sing whit the enchanting melody. Then, his gaze fell on Hinata.
"I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert"
As that part was sang, he took Hinata and held her against him like if they were dancing, even though she was unconscious. He held her by her waist whit his left arm and whit his right arm, he supported her back so that her rested on his shoulder.
"But I'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven.
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me, pretend a few more hours, then its time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
Its too late to cry
To broken to move on"
He started to move, left to right, trying to dance whit her in his arms. His eyes closed as he started to sing full passion.
"And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
Its just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven.
Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
But a grace of god I do not rest at all
In new England as the leaves change
The last excuse I'll claim, I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
Its just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my,
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no...
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no...
Heaven doesn't seem far away"
Gaara moved his arm higher so that he could also brush Hinata's long midnight blue sky hair. Hinata wakes up but she isn't certain who this person is. She felt so protected, so comfortable and so loved, that she stayed and she wrapped her arms around this man's waist so that she will never loose this wonderful sensation. Gaara felt the hug and he held her closer
"A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven."
He looked down at Hinata whit a smile who seemed to have fallen asleep already.
"You are my heaven" He finished as he kissed Hinata's forehead.
"I love you...Hinata-tenshi" Gaara finally said as the song has finished. He hugged her tighter as he smelt her beautiful fragrance. He looked at her when the moon light gently lighten her pure frame whit the dust making a sparkling effect. This was a precious moment for him. But something caught his eye, thanks to the moon rays, he saw the spare key that was between the washing machine and the dryer.
'Thank you, who ever you are...'
Still holding on Hinata, he bent to get the key and unlocked the door. After hours of being inside the bathroom, he was free from the room, even though he wasn't intending on leaving anytime soon.
He shifted Hinata so he could hold her bridal style as he bring her to her bedroom and gently laid her on her bad and covered her whit her blanket.
Before he finally leaves her, he looked at her and he didn't want to leave her anymore, but he knew he couldn't stay. Slowly, he closed the door, making sure to not make a sound and left whit out a trace. This was a night he wasn't going to forget
End for this chapter!
Tenshi angel
song: A drop in the ocean by Ron Pope
No, Hinata doesn't knows who was the one who danced whit her.
Yes, Gaara realized his love towards Hinata.
They are not permanently banned from the hospital and happy (almost) Valentines!
