Chapter 16 ! c:
Hinata just couldn't believe it. Gaara died. Killed by her beloved guardian cousin Neji.
Hinata, still wrapped in Gaara's arms, looked at Gaara heartbroken. When Gaara said "I love you.", all she could reply was a shocked expression. She felt really bad inside. He left with the face of a worried Hinata. Maybe he took that as a bad reply, as if he was refused. She deeply wanted him to revive for so many reasons she couldn't even tell. Tears started rolling down her face. She looked back at Neji, who has long dropped the gun and laying on his knees, still in shock of what he has just done. "Hinata...I'm so sorry....I didn't knew...I ..." He held his head in his hands, analysing what has just happened. He looked back at Hinata, who was already deeply embracing the corps which was once holder of a tragic life. Neji got up, still a bit shaky, and walked towards Hinata, sobbing all her tears in Gaara's black yukata. "...After all that he has lived...maybe...he's in a better place..." he stated, kneeling next to her. "A place where I have no longer the rights to go...".
Hinata turned her head to look at Neji while still laying her head on Gaara's chest and said between sobs "...Neji...I- It's not your fault....y-you were ordered....to k-kill me...but he....Gaara saved my life....he died for me!..." Hinata was now crying harder. He couldn't believe that she would stil forgive him after what he did. He then looked at the peaceful expression on Gaara's face. Never in his saint mind would he believed that this monster was a kind hearted guy. He now felt like the biggest jerk ever. "Hinata...We...sw should get going...before any policemen and see the corps..." Neji stated pointing the girl decapitated by Gaara for harming Hinata and also meaning to let Gaara there and forget about everything. "NO!!! I WON'T LET HIM STAY HERE!!" Hinata shouted, never would she let him stay at this rotten warehouse. She shook away the Neji's hand who was currently laying on her shoulder. "...I'll never let him aloe here in this horrible place....so f*ck you Neji..." Hinata said and glared at him. It was the first time in his life that he has heard her swear or even glare. He knew that she was pissed. Neji sighed and took Gaara away from her grasp, in which she has already lost her bad mood and looking at him as if he was a monster, taking him away from her and carried him on his back and said "C'mon, I know a secret road that brings us near my house. '...'kay..." she said and got up on her wobbly feets. Through all the track, she either looked at her feets, which she does often or ad the numb corps on Neji's back. The stink that the dead body disgusted him. If it weren't for Hinata, he would have let him somewhere lost in the forest to then take a 3 hours anti-bacterial bath.
Once back home, after announcing to Temari and Kankuro the death of their younger brother, she layed on he bed, crying a river on her pillows, deeply tangled in her fluffy blankets soft mattress. She looked at the setting sun that gave a reddish hue to the sky through her long window in which the thin white silk curtains danced in the wind passing through the widely opened windows. The reddish sky reminded her of Gaara. Anything red reminded her of Gaara. At that sight, she cried even more in her pillow. She cried herself to sleep. Later that night, she was awoken by a freezing breeze. She got up to the window to be somewhat pulled by an unknown force to her room's balcony. She posed her hands on the metal ramp and rubbed her arms since she was freezing in her pyjamas. Suddenly, she heard foots steps behind her. She turned around to see a woman in a long cape, face hidden by a hood.
Hinata asked who she was. "I am the person who has been guarding you for years. You could say that I am your guardian angel..." The woman paused, seeing the stunned expression on Hinata's face. "The reason why I am here, is to warn you that all that you have suffered won't be in vain. But after what I am going to do, I will no longer be able to protect you like I used to do. But there will be someone who you will soon meet that will be more than capable to protect you. I love you my darling Hinata." The woman left without a sound. "...Mother?..." Hinata asked to the emptiness that is her 'mother'. She then limply walked back to her bed, comforting herself that it's just a weird dream and that everything will be back to the way it used to. With of course an alive Gaara.
Back to the Sabaku's, the to siblings were sitting silently on the kitchen, each one of them lost in their thoughts. Thinking about all the things they've done together, all the pranks they did to Gaara, and so about Gaara's painful revenge pranks...about they fun and sad times they lived and about how they failed in their role of protective older brothers. It still felt weird, like if that Gaara dead was not real. "So...when should we start packing Gaara's stuff?" Kankuro asked, breaking the silence. "Well...maybe...but first we should probably ask Hianta if she wants any of his belongings first...in case she wants any..." Temari replied. Surely she would at least keep something to remind her of Gaara. Maybe should she give him his perfume... actually, she never saw any bottle of anything in his room. Truth to be said, it's been a year since she last went to his room. Gaara was really stick about his privacy. She as already imagining what his room might look like. Probably all black with permanently closed curtains with clothes lingering here and there with probably nasty magazines under the bed. Pretty much like Kankuro's bedroom. Temari smirked and dashed up stairs to penetrate the forbidden door of numerous mysteries. Hand one the handle, she stop and thought about what she was going to do. Enter a room of a dead person, in which that he would have probably forbid anyone to enter even after death. But she didn't care anyways. What could a dead person do to her now. She smirked again and entered the room to be stunned.
His room was clean and with white clean walls. He even had a flower pot on the desk in front of the window. Even his bed was made. She looked under his bed. Nothing. She looked to her right and saw a bookshelf with novels and dictionaries and all sorts of complicated stuff. And next to it, there was a modern computer. Now she knew what happened to her savings. 'Why you selfish brat...' Temari thought but then calmed down remembering that Gaara was dead. Then she remembered that she has been seeing the internet bill lately. She felt like an idiot not questioning why she was paying the internet when she didn't knew anny existence of any PC. She looked on the computer screen and saw that the background was a sweet picture of Gaara and Hinata at the beach, splashing themselves with water. She then saw that in one of his tabs, were a conversation between him and Hinata. Gaara's pen name was Gaara and Hinata's was Shy Angel. She didn't dare read their conversation but got shocked by the sudden alarm.
She saw that Hinata has replied something back in their conversation. Reading post by post the purrple phrases through the MSN window.
Shy Angel says:
...Gaara...
Shy Angel says:
Where are you?
Shy Angel says:
I miss you.
Shy Angel says:
I miss you and love you.
Shy Angel says:
I love you so much.
Shy Angel says:
Why have you left?
Shy Angel says:
I can't stand knowing that I won't see you again.
Shy Angel says
When will you be back?
Shy Angel says:
I need you.
Shy Angel says:
My life seems empty without you.
Shy Angel says:
I feel no joy anymore.
Shy Angel says:
My nightmares starts haunting me.
Shy Angel says:
I can't sleep.
Shy angel says:
Everywhere I look, I see you.
Shy Angel says:
I can't bare it.
Shy Angel says:
Gaara, Where are you?
Shy angel says:
...Answere me...
Shy angel says:
...Please...
Shy Angel says:
...Gaara...
Shy Angel says:
.................
Shy Angel says:
...................I love you Gaara...
Then Temari saw that Hinata logged off. Temari was trying to hold her tears from leaking. She backed the computer chair and spin so that she wouldn't face the screen in fear to cry.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw that someone , obviously not Kankuro, in a cape was sitting on Gaara's bed. "Who or what are you!?" Temari asked as she got up from the chair. "Do not be frighten, Temari-san. I am here do give you something that will make many hearts happy again. Since I can't bring back a life. I'll exchange mine for Gaara's. Please take care. Oh. And be aware that the child is very special. God bye." at that, the woman that was hidden in her clothing suddenly vanished so only leave her cape lying on the bed. Temari approached the bed and saw a bump in the clothing. She looked and what she saw wasn't humanly possible. What lied wrapped in a white blanket under the cape...was a baby Gaara, still asleep, both hands close to his face, which were the only things exposed from the blanket.
Temari took the small baby Gaara and held him in astonishment. Baby Gaara woke up and looked back at Temari, with cute little sleepy teary eyes, then rubbed his eye with his hand. She couldn't help herself but squee to the cuteness that was her evil little brother. The squee shocked the baby and made him cry. Kankuro, after hearing a baby's cry, went upstairs to see what was happening and saw that Temari was holding as he thought was a chucky doll. "Wow, I didn't knew that Gaara had crying Chukies as toy-" Kankuro stopped as he saw that what Temari was holding was a baby Gaara. "...wow... I wonder what was in my cotton candy in tonight's festival." he then rubbed his eyes and stared back at the baby Gaara, who has stopped crying. "Well hey, look what we have here!" Kankuro said as he took Gaara from Temari. Aren't you a cutie! You look just like your father!" Baby Gaara's only reply was a pee in his face with a grumpy expression, clearly saying something like 'I hate you already'. Yup. The Gaara they knew was back. But the woman's words still puzzled her. What did she meant as ' The child is very special.' Temari looked back at the tongue sticking Kankuro holding a Baby Gaara as far as his arms could let him. Temari sighed while having a corner smile. This will probably be a pain in the neck.
