Ch. 14

Well, so far, for real, this is the beginning of the real plot of the story . . . ok, maybe not a plot, but the main story or the part of the story that really matters. You will now read what was meant to be told from the very first chapter made. So, all this times . . . it kinda was like . . . some fillers . . . and I don't like fillers TT.TT. Oh well . . .

Here's the moment you've been waiting for. Seriously, the main event, the real story, the story that was planned for this story will start to unfold. (I kinda repeated myself :o )

Enjoy

It was finally it. The moment they all have been waiting for, all this time, the festival. The one that they waited for what seemed to them an eternity. There they are, standing side by side, in front of the surprising large crowd of lovers all dressed in magnificent and probably authentic traditional style wearing. All of them, each of them, deeply in love whit their partner. Hinata felt bad for being here. They 'faked' their love. A love that is true, that is alive. For her, love was the sweetest thing ever, she respected this emotion to no end and yet, there she is, pretend just for her selfish desires. She didn't belong here. Ashamed, she looked down at the ground, something she does quite often nowadays. Loosening her grip from Gaara's arms, he knew that something was wrong, but knowing her as well as he does, he knew that it isn't the time and place to discuss about it and decided to spend a more joyous moment instead. That's why they are here in the first place, right?

"So..." Gaara begun, trying to remove the awkward moment, which worked since Hinata seemed to forget about what was bothering her as she looked at him in the eyes, allowing him to continue. "What do you think we should start whit?" He finished. Hinata then looked around the huge park, no, town. This place was as huge as a town, probably one that has been abandoned through time. She then remarked that there was a big versatility of rides and game booths. But what caught her eyes at first, was the huge roller coaster in the middle of all other games. Gaara then looked at where she was looking at. He then had a huge grin on his face. He loved intense sensations, it made him feel 'alive'. He then took the blue haired girl by her hand and started to run, yanking her from her thoughts. A small 'meep' was heard from said blue haired girl as they started to run.

Later on, they stopped just before the huge enormous roller coaster of DOOM ( it was the name of the coaster; 'Roller Coaster of DOOM'). They both looked up, seeing the carts being shook, went upside down and even, as this coaster is known for, the 360° turning carts. As it's name said, it was the coaster of doom. After this observation, Hinata was as white as a ghost while Gaara had the biggest mischief-y grin ever seen from a red head. He turned to Hinata, who was paralyzed by fear, and smiled at her saying 'oh-we-are-so-going-on-that-ride' while she had a 'you-got-to-be-kidding-me-I'm-going-to-die-' gasping expression. Gaara sighed and he took her and posed her on her stomach on his shoulder as he quick walked up the stairs. Surprisingly, there weren't many people waiting. Probably because they haven't arrived yet, having ran past the few already arrived couples up the many steps almost equivalent to a five story building. Guess who made their weekly exercise?

They stepped forth to embark the cart of doom, and how lucky, on the first row. As they sat next to each other, in cartes of two, the buckled up their safety belts and let the metal bar place itself on their lap. Hinata prayed to survive while Gaara grabbed the pole, inpatient to start. But before they could depart, they had to wait that the other cart came back. They waited a few minutes, but the other cart never arrived. Suddenly, they heard a walky-talky from the security guards that were in service to this ride saying that the cart had difficulties and that the people was stuck in the cart. That heard, Gaara unbuckled his belt and started to fight whit the safety pole so he could get free, he doesn't want to waist time sitting here and he want's to know more about this malfunction. Maybe he could help. Hinata looked at him as he struggled against the persistent bar, she lay her hand on his shoulder sand said: "Uh..maybe you could ask the person that controls the bar...instead of fighting it..." Gaara then stopped and looked at her for a while and said "...oh...right..." He then rapidly turned to the guy who controls the coaster and shook the bar to make him know that he wanted to leave. The coaster guy being too far away to hear what he said, he thought Gaara was saying 'start the cart already!' so he pressed the go button, uncaring about the major risque that 2 cart and one rail track may cause.

Feeling the cart humming, he sat and waited that the bar lift up, but to his horror, the cart was moving, already climbing up the old wooden rail, he tried to buckled up back, but the pole was positioned in a way that he couldn't buckle it back. He then grabbed Hinata's arm, squeezing his eyes shut. He was going to die. Seeing his fear, Hinata started to freak out on her side. From the beginning, she didn't liked this coaster and now, she knew it was the end of them, she knew that on some part, they shall hit the other cart that was stuck in the rails, she heard the news as well. She started to breath heavily and close her eyes shut as well..then, she felt a strong wind. She looked out her cart, and saw that she was about to slide down the huge almost 90° rail. She grabbed the pole in front of her, eyes as big as plates, and said "GAARA!! I'M GONNA DIE!!"

"ME TOO!! I'M NOT EVEN BUCKLED UP!!" Gaara shouted back, still clenching Hinata's arm and now holding the pole whit his other hand. Then, they started to slide down at a super huge speed. The speed of the cart was so fast, that they were pushed back on their seats due to gravity. They could almost say that their mouths were wide open due to the wind hitting their faces. From the top of their lungs, tears forcefully leaking out of their horrified eyes, they both shouted: "I DON'T WANNA DIE!!"

Meanwhile, back at the control center of the roller coaster, the newbie that was odered to take care of the buttons had started the cart before things were ok to start. And there were still a few men working on the other cart trying to unblock the other cart. Hopefully, they shall succeed in time. But one thing's for sure. He's going to get fired once his boss will know about this.

Back at the our lovely, close to death, favorite characters in the whole wide world, they were now hugging each other, shouting out some things they wanted the other one to know before it's too late. "GAARA, IT WAS ME WHO TOOK YOUR SISTER'S EYELINER FOR TODAY'S FESTIVAL!! I'M SORRY FOR GETTING YOU PUNISHED!!" Hinata admitted. "HINATA, I'M SORRY, I LIED ABOUT MY HAIR, THEY ARE NATURALLY RED!!" Gaara admitted at his turn."I'M SORRY FOR WHAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THIS TIME, TAKING CARE OF ME WHILE ALL THE MANY TIMES I'VE FAINTED!!" "I'M SORRY FOR BEING THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS COASTER!!" Said Gaara. Hinata was going to say something else, bus at far, she saw the other cart still being repaired by a few mechanics. At that sight, she clearly knew that they were going to hit the other wagon.

One of the mechanics saw their cart coming quickly, he didn't understood how the other cart could have been going since there's only one rail and that it would be obvious there will be a crash. The man looked closer, and saw that there was people inside the wagon. He then ordered everyone to do it quicker, estimating that the other cart would be there in less than a minute.

After loops, ups and downs and 360° rotating, they saw the other cart coming closer since their cart is approaching it. Gaara and Hinata held themsleves tighter, now that their lives depended on it and this is surely the last time they would ever live, continuing their last statements, cheek to cheek and holding eachother like if their would be no tomorrow.

The mechanics decided that their was no time left, they ordered the few passengers to leave the cart and leaving the coaster by the emergency tall secure ladder. They new that the other would crash whit the other cart and surely cause death. Everyone felt bad for the other cart's passengers. It was too late.

As they saw that their cart is about to crash in a few seconds whit the other, Gaara decided to tell Hinata the truth. "HINATA, I LOVE YOU!!" Gaara shouted even though Hinata was right next to him, but the screams of the other people made it hard to hear, but surprisingly, Hinata was the only one not screaming, well she did, but it never came out. Already being cheek to cheek, he kissed her full passion, knowing it would be the last time ever seeing her. Hinata felt that great feeling and kissed back, feeling safe knowing this is the Gaara she knows. They broke the kiss and saw they crash in slow motion. Gaara felt from his cart since he wasn't wearing his belt, he gripped onto Hinata, pulling her whit him making both of them falling of the 8 story high coaster trail.Hinata saw the ground racing to catch them to certainly bring them to their end. Gaara grabbed Hinata possessively and rotate so he would be the first one hitting the floor, while whispering in her ear, lips touching her lobe, "I'll never let anything hurt you", all in a fall's time. As Hinata saw the ground terrifying-ly close, she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact...Then...Thump! She lost her breath. As quickly as she could, she opened her eyes. But what she saw, wasn't even thinkable, not even logic...impossible...unatural...

She awoke on a bench, the same as she awoke from her earlier mini faint before they entered the festival. The same one that she awoke before they left for the coaster of doom. She sat up quickly, getting on her feet and 'meeped' in her tripping since her speed made her too light to stand. She grabbed onto Gaara's sleeve, catching him off-guard, looking at the many games and booth, and especially 'that' big coaster. "Hinata!?" He caught her, "You surprised me." he smiled then rubbed the top of her head like a little puppy. "Ready to live the time of your life...Hinata darling?" The way he said it was just like in her dream, his subliminal way of saying that exact phrase, but in her dream, he said he loved her...maybe he isn't really pretending as much as she is. "Sure...Honey" she said, trying to be as natural as possible. "So, what do you want to go first?" Gaara asked. One thing's for sure, NOT the coaster of doom...she turned her head in the exact opposite of where it was, and her sight fell on a goldfish catching booth. She automatically pointed there and said "That game please." Gaara smiled and grabbed her hand gently and walked to the fishing game.

Once arrived, then stood behind a mini pool, where pretty goldfishes whit long floating tail majestically moved whit the waves of the water. Hinata was amazed by their beauty. Gaara decided that he should catch one for her, besides, they came here for that anyways. He payed the man and got the little net, but it was harder than it seemed. He missed a few shot, but on his last, he finally been able to catch one. The man was surprised that he had such ease vat the last try. The man took a plastic bag filled whit water and put the gold fish in it. He gave the bag to Gaara, who then gave it to Hinata. Hinata had the cutest, almost chibi like, smile ever seen. She rose it up so that she could be face to face whit the fish. "Now let's give you a cute little name!" she whispered to the fish. She looked at the fish and it had a bored expression, one saying like 'i-wish-i-was-not-here' expression, she then saw Gaara who had an almost exact expression ,but more saying 'I'm bored now'. Then the ingenious idea came, "I'll call you Minigaara!" Hearing his name, Gaara turned to Hinata and she showed him Minigaara. Gaara look at it, like when he had a glare competition whit the panda bear when he slept at Hinata's. He sighed and let it pass this time, but nothing will ever replace the REAL Gaara. Though he was kinda afraid that Minigaara might be more loved than him, he started to regret catching that fish.

"Gaara, this shall be our link to our friendship, we must take care of it as if it was one another, if he dies, our friendship dies, if he lives for long, our friendship will be everlasting!" Hinata stated, confident that this is a great way to demonstrate their friendship. But after that noble speech, someone bumped her, not even noticing, and she dropped the bag that contained Minigaara. The bag bounced on the ground and was okay. She thought that the bag would have burst and that it would die. She ran to get Minigaara back, but the red dragon puppet that was articulated by men walked on the bag, popping the bag and obviously killed Minigaara ( sob I really don't like myself for killing Minigaara, I already started liking him TT.TT)(wait, I can change destiny!!) ( :D ) ( I shall now invent a version whit an alive minigaara and deal whit it c: )

Hinata took the bag from the ground and looked if it wasn't hurt or anything. She looked back at Gaara and asked him if they should pay extra to have a real portable aquarium. If accepted and bought one and did the fish transfer and went of to an other booth. Hinata held the aquarium whit love, Gaara started to feel jealousy rising within him. Minigaara is lucky that Hinata loves him that much...or else he would eat it whit his chopsticks. But caring for Hinata's happiness, he'll let Minigaara live until he dies in his sleep due to age. Then they saw a red dragon articulated by men passing. They stopped to looked at it to admire it's authenticity. This reminded them that they are still in kimonos and yukatas.

After the little parade passed, they walked through the crowd, they stopped in front of an odd attraction. All they could see was a wooden wall that stood in the middle of the corridor that lead them to the entrance. They remarked that on the right side, it was for girls and on the left, for boys. They looked higher and saw it was 'The Love Tunnel'. They both looked at each other, audibly gulping, who knew if they would reach the end of the tunnel together. Gaara then said whit an assuring smile "What could possibly go wrong?" Hinata sighed and decided to go in The Love Tunnel. They both entered, Gaara on the right and Hinata on the left whit Minigaara to accompany her. While she waited in line, she listened to the girls who were infront of her. They talked about something very interesting; they talked about the cart that was stuck in 'the Coaster Of DOOM'. Hinata's heart stopped. She held her grip tighter on the aquarium. Her dream was right, what if she took the ride, would it had been the death of Gaara and herself? Would it mean that Gaara actually loves her? Her knees went week and felt that she was about to faint. She posed Minigaara on the floor and let herself faint.

On Gaara's side, he overheard the girl's conversation as well, he thought that it was a good thing he didn't went on that ride after all. He wanted to go there as first ride, but thanked Hinata for not leading them there. Then, he heard a thump and girls asking if the person is alright. "Ma'am, are you alright?" "Is this your fish?" "Is she dead?" "OMG!! CALL AN AMBULANCE!!" "Calm down, she just fainted..." Gaara knew what happened. Hinata fainted. He was slightly worried about Minigaara, he is like their son after all, in Gaara's point of view. He looked behind him to see if he could leave and take the fainted Hinata, but there was already too many guys behind him. He was stuck here until he pass through. He sighed and look in front of him. The line wasn't that long. Let's just hop that they will take the same boat at the end.

On Hinata's side, many girls tried to wake her up. But then, a girl came rushing in saying that she knows her. They all pushed aside and the girl arrived, showing to be Temari. Temari looked down and shook her head, she led down fainted as always. She bent down to meet her face since the other girls sat her against the wooden wall. Temari started slightly slapping on Hinata's face so she can wake up. Nothing. She tried to tickle her whit a feather that ornamented her hair, but in vain. She screamed 'wake up', but still she remained fainted. She then had no choice to use 'it'. She then cleared her throat ad grumbled; testing her voice. Then, she could mimic Gaara's voice perfectly! Then, Temari sat next to Hinata, and whispered in her ear whit Gaara's voice "Hey, Hina-tenshi, I would like you to wake up please" Then, like magic, Hinata's eyes opened up in a flash. She looked at Temari stunned, she was sure that Gaara was there. But then again, why is Temari here? As Hinata got up, supporting herself on the wall whit a hand, She said "Thank you for waking me up Temari. But...I-I didn't knew that you were coming here as well..." she then took back Minigaara in her arms. "Well, I'm here whit Shikamaru, he's such a pain, he doesn't want to do anything!! It makes me insane!! ARGH!!" She pulled her hair at the last part. Hinata patted her shoulder saying that everything will be alright. Temari half smiled back t thank her. Then Temari added "Say, you're here whit Gaara?" she rose an eyebrow as she had a sly smile. Then they both moved closer, seeing that the live has moved since. It's almost their turn. Temari then realized she should go back at her original spot to actually be whit Shikamaru. "Oh, I gotta go! I'll meet you outside!" and she left to take her spot.

Gaara has heard everything. No wonder he was always blame for all those phone pranks through all that time. But knowing Temari is here, Kankouro is probably here as well. He know that it's going to be a troublesome day. He looked in front and saw that he could move forwards and he did so. He waited and waited until it was his turn. Finally, his time was up. He pushed the door open to be in a dark place whit lieelt lights guiding him to the swan boat thingy. It was so dark, he couldn't even see who was whit him. He reached the boat whit the monitor's help and sat, waiting for the girl, who he hopped was Hinata, to sit next to him. The boat departed, leading them to the light. As it became more visible, he turned to se who the girl was. But to his surprise...it was... Matsuri! "Oh...hi..." Gaara said in a bored tone like always. "Oh my god!! Your Sabaku No Gaara!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!! shriekDo you remember me? I'm Matsuri!! Your #1 fan of the whole wide world!! I LOVE YOU!!" Gaara cursed, she was 'that' rabid fan girl, one of the reason that made him leave Suna. He tried to get out of the boat but she grabbed him and held him in an super strong hug of doom, impossible to get free. "How do you want to call our children? I thought about..." Gaara sighed and ignored the Mary Sue. Matsuri saw that he was ignoring her. She grabbed him by his collar and said "What about our soon to have children!?" Gaara grabbed her hand to make her let go and said "Look, I don't like you, I hate you. And besides, I already have a child, his name is Jr." He lied, he was actually happy that he had won that goldfish. "So shut up and leave me alone." ha added to then rest his head on his hand, viewing the tunnel's decoration.

Back at Hinata, she heard the screaming of a crazy girl. She hoped that Gaara wasn't the poor guy. But now, it was finally her time, she hopped it will be Gaara who will be the one whit her. He's the only male person she trusts. She entered the door which led her to the dark place whit little lights to guide her way to the swan boat. Once sat whit Minigaara on her lap, she couldn't see the boy who was whit her but she remarked that he smelled like Gaara. As the boat started to depart, she saw the outline of the guy's face and a streak of black hair. As the boat left it's dark spot, she could finally see the boy. He was quite charming. "Hey," The boy spoke "I'm Uchiha Sasuke, nice to meet you." He spoke as he kissed her hand. Hinata blushed, then remembered who Sasuke was. He was the one that broke Ino's heart. "S-Sasuke!?" Hinata said, surprised. Sasuke grinned 'She's so cute when she's surprised' he thought. "H-How could you!?" Hinata asked. "How could I what?" He asked. "H-How could you do that to Ino? J-Just for some stupid g-girl!? Don't you even care about her? Was she just your puppet!?" She said. She deeply thought he was the biggest bastard in the whole world. "Well, for your information, that stupid girl...is you..." He said whit a small blush on his cheek as he sat in a cool way. Hinata blushed, he did all this just for her, he loved her, the guy all the girl drooled about. She couldn't believe it. "W...why me? Among all the other beautiful, strong, perfect girls, why me? What do I have of so special? Me who never says a word, shy...afraid of the world...why me?" she asked. She never thought that she would ever be loved. "Well, all of those reasons..." Sasuke admitted. "Your so calm, sweet, kind, caring, cute, innocent...all those and even more that I don't know how to say..." He added. "B-but, we never really talked to each other. How could you even know me?" Hinata asked. "Well, I am Naruto's best friend. So all that time you spent whit him, I had time to know you." Hinata just couldn't believe it. All this time, he liked her. "Hinata, I'm asking you this, Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Sasuke asked. The only thing that came to her mind when he asked that question was 'What about Gaara?' "No...I don't want...I already ha-" she stopped. She was about to say that she already has Gaara as a boyfriend. "What? What does he have that I don't have!?" Sasuke asked Hinata, talking about Gaara. "...Well..."Hinata started, she wasn't sure if she should go on, pretending that he is his boyfriend. Well, he loves her, so it's half a lie."H-he is a nice person, always care for everyone, he never hurt a fly, he would protect me no matter what and so much things you would never be able to do!"Hinata said, suddenly filled whit courage, like when she talked about Naruto. At that, she realized. She has never spoken that clear and whit exactitude since the last time she had talked about him."Tch, you seem to like that guy alot...how can you say that he has never hurt a fly? Did you knew that he beat the crap out of Naruto and punched me out of no where? But that loser wasn't even able to lay a finger on me. Seems like you don't know the truth about him." He grinned. Hinata didn't believed what he said, she was sure he was saying lies so that she would forget about Gaara. "Liar." Hinata stated whit a small glare seen by very few. And like on cue, the ferry ride was over. She ignored Sasuke while leaving the boat and carefully bringing Minigaara whit her.

Once on the ground, she looked for a red fuzz ball among the many heads. And she found it. She struggled through the mob and finally reached him. But she saw him talking whit Temari and Shikamaru. She walked closer to listen what they talked about but as she came in the hearing range, she got spotted by Shikamaru. "Hey, your Hinata, right?" Gaara turned around and saw that Hinata was hiding behind his back. He was surprised he didn't noticed her. Gaara smiled and hugged Hianta and took care to not bump Minigaara to not make it fall. "You were right, they do look cute together" Shikamaru added. This made Hinata blush again. She Held Minigaara tighter. "And this is their son!" Temari joined and pointed the aquarium. "I see..." Shikamaru answered. Then they all departed for an other game booth while everyone talked about who they got and what happened in the tunnel of love except Hinata, who kept everything a secret.

Later on, after a few corn-dogs and cotton candy, they reach a booth that Gaara will surely love 'The Dunk-a-roo'. It's the game where there's a guy sitting on a bench and if you hit the target whit a ball, the man falls in the water. But in this case, it's Naruto who's sitting in a bench. Gaara went to that booth while holding Hinata's hand while Shikamaru and Temari followed. While Gaara spent all his money buying balls to shoot bull's-eye on the target at every shot and winning numerous giant fluffy dolls for Hinata and Shikamaru watching all this, Temari started to talk whit Hianta. "So...Hinata, my best friend who is also my half little sister! How are you?" she asked enthusiastically. "Oh, I'm fine, you?" Hinata replied. "I'm great! But...Hinata, I have a question to ask you." She asked, feeling uncomfortable. "W-what is it?" Hinata asked, worried about what she is about to ask. Temari doesn't usually warn or ask before asking a question. "Well...I wanted to know, what in Gaara made you like him in the first place?" Temari asked. "W-well...to tell you the truth, we're here as friends...but pretending to love each other..." Hinata admitted. "Oh, well, are you aware that Gaara likes you?" Temari asked. "Y-yeah...but I don't mind it at all! He's such a nice guy, always caring and never hurts anyone. " Hinata said. Temari rose an eye brow in surprise. "Are you sure we're talking about the same Gaara? The one I know is always grumpy, silent, cares for his own self, hates everyone...I never actually saw him happy for more than thirty minutes." Hinata was surprised, he's usually happy, nice, caring and all. "But Gaara...he...I..." Hinata said, lost in her words. She looked back at Gaara. He was standing next to the pile of dolls that he won for her and started arguing whit Naruto and Sakura. Realizing this, Hinata and Temari went to see Gaara.

"And do you think I care if I clean up your shop!?" Gaara shouted to Naruto and Sakura who was working at that game booth.

"Well, what's the use of taking all of our prizes when you'll just throw away all of it in a few days!?" Sakura shouted back.

"Well, for one, it pleases me to soak Naruto every time after what he did to Hinata! And I'm just finishing my payback! And second, all of this is for my Hina-tenshi, who she know will love every single doll as if it were her children." Gaara said. 'Like if it would be our children' Gaara added in his mind.

"Pffft. And you believe that she will do that? C'mon! She's only human! Sooner or later, they will be sitting in the attic, accumulating dust through the years." Sakura added. Naruto nudging at everything Sakura says.

Hinata was uncomfortable in this situation. A fight was happening all because of her. She walked closer to Gaara and held his left arm. "G-Gaara, it's alight. P-please, stop fighting...and besides...only one doll would have been enough..." Hinata said the last part in a whisper. When Gaara turned back to see Hinata, he quieted up right away and all of his worries were gone. He already forgot about the fight. "Well, I wasn't planning on winning all of them, I have all of them 'cause I keep getting a free turn every 3 straight hits, so besides, it would be a nice decoration for your room and my sister's if ever she wants too." Gaara whispered back. "Oh..." Hinata replyed back in a whisper. "But please, can you stop arguing?" "Sure!" Gaara answered. And whit that, he crossed arms whit the one that Hinata wasn't using to hold Minigaara and started walking away to somewhere else. But uddenly, Gaara felt something on his right arm. It felt like a cramp or something. He slightly flinched, but not enough to be remarked. He ignored it since the pain left. His arm's muscle probably just twitched or something.

Later on, Temari insisted on going to the toilet, so they followed her to there, Shikamaru complaining as usual. Once there, they all waited outside waiting for Temari to come out. Gaara felt his right arm starting to hurt really badly and his right leg twitched as well. He excused himself and went to the mens bathroom. Once inside, he assured that no one else was in here. Then he went in front of the mirror and took of his top and to his horror, his arm has changed. It looked like Shukaku's arm. Horrified, he looked at his right leg and the same thing was occurring. He knew what was happening. Shukaku has finally found the power to take over his body. The same thing happened when he was 3 years old. Feeling his head ache, he held his head and coiled up in a ball under the sink. He was afraid, afraid that he might get lose and destroy everything. But what he feared the most was to hurt Hinata. The pain was too horrible, he screamed.

Outside, Temari has exit the bathrrom a half a second after Gaara entered. They started talking about Gaara's different personality towards other people. "Well, once, when I was painting my house, Gaara was different...He seemed more wild and more...pervert..." Hinata admitted, it was the first time she told this to anyone. Temari gulped audibly and had an expression that said 'OH-FCK'. Hinata and Shikamaru looked at Temari, asking what was so scary. "Well..."Temari started, "When Gaara was born, He was given a demon called Shukaku. This demon sometimes take over his mind. But once, When he was a baby, The demon took complete control and he transformed into a hideous beast. It destroyed more than the half of our country. And because of that, he has been hated and feared by everyone. He closed himself from everyone...except you, Hinata. The only times I see him truly happy, is when he's whit you." Hinata could believe it. Nothing today made any sense! First the premonition, then Sasuke, then Gaara having a demon within him. One more information and her mind's going to blow up! Suddenly, they heard a scream coming from the men's bathroom. They knew it was Gaara. Shikamaru entered first since this was the mens bathroom. But after not even a few seconds, he came out as white as a drape. "Gaara...He...It...He's a monster!!"Shikamaru said between deep breathing then crumbled down, sitting against the wall. Temari was afraid to go in the bathroom. The last time she saw Gaara transformed, she almost went in a coma due to a such trauma that made her faint. Temari sat against the wall as well.

Hinata didn't knew what to do, but she followed her guts and entered while Temari and Shikamaru took care of Minigaara. She burst in and looked around. She heard deep breathing and saw it that it came from under the sink. She took a deep breath and look under. What she saw stopped her heart and she ceased breathing. Gaara was toiled up in a ball, right arm and right transformed into a sandy voluminous form, right side of his face disfigured and a large tail started growing. He kept deep breathing and growling, the transformation was hurting him. It pained her to see Gaara in such misery. She slowly sat next to him, knees on the ground and laid her hand on his left shoulder. At the contact, Gaara flinched. He turned around to see Hinata whit a worried face. Hinata saw in Gaara the pain he was feeling, the tears that leaked, the wincing eyes and the humiliation of being seen as a monster in front of the one he loves.

"Gaara...I'm here...It's alright..." Hinata said in a low voice, hoping to calm him down. Gaara roughly pushed her arm away and moving away, escaping her gaze, ashamed of who he has transformed into. "NO!...GET AWAY FROM ME!...LEAVE!...I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!...NOW!" Gaara shouted despise the pain he felt. "No Gaara, I'm here for you, I'll never leave. I will always be there for you! I don't care who aor what you look like, as long as your still the Gaara I know!" Hinata said. Gaara looked back at Hinata for a second, compassion in his eyes but then looked away and pushed her to the wall. Quickly escaping by making a hole in the wall and escaping the in the close by forest. Hinata got up despise the pain in her back and looked out of the hole to see where Gaara has went. She went of running after Gaara, hoping to be able to make him feel alright and make everything better.

Cliffhanger time!!

End of chapter!

This is the super duper long chapter to forgive me from my super late update °-°

well, things are starting to get interesting and now you might know why Gaara has been out of character all this time.

Hope you liked it c:
