101 REVIEWS! OMG! 101 FREAKING REVIEWS! That is amazing. That is a freaking milestone for me. Thanks for reviewing you guys. Everyone who reviewed is awesome.
Sorry for updating so late. I just was really swamped and I spent a long time trying to phrase what I wanted to say in this chapter.
There isn't that much of Gaara and Hinata together in this chapter. I was trying to go more in depth with Gaara and Matsuri's relationship. It's getting more complicated for both of them.
I might have made the girls a little too smart for their age. And I don't know if the lawyer stuff is that amazing. I hope I made it believable. I used all of my prior knowledge from watching daytime court shows. I don't know. I'll let you be the judge of that. I hope that you guys enjoy this chapter.
I don't Naruto or any characters that deal with the show. Nor do I own the song "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance

Chapter 13: A Talk with the Judge, the Morning After, Hurting Everyone, Jacob Loves You More, and He Wants Her Back
At Xavier Yuhi's House
With Xavier
Xavier was in his home office on the phone with a man named Marshall, Judge Mathew Marshall.
"Judge Marshall, we have already resolved the matter. Hinata is back with her family. She and her kids are where they belong. We don't need turn this into something that it is not." Xavier explained. His brow was scrunched in frustration. The judge that had given the warrant for the paternity test on Hinata wanted to know if charges would be pressed on the Yuhis and Skywalkers for harboring Hinata. But Xavier and his big mouth just had to bring up the fact that she had had children with her.
"She has children with her? No one told me that any children other Ms. Hinata Hyuga was involved; no other name is included in the files. Whose children are they? Are they Ms. Hyuga's children? How old are they? What are their names? " Judge Marshall inquired. His voice held so much authority that Xavier didn't have time to come up with a half-decent defense to keep the judge's questions at bay.
"Yes, Judge Marshall. They are indeed the children of Ms. Hyuga. Their names are Havana and Haveah Inoue. They are two years of age." the elder Yuhi replied.
"And the father?" the judge asked.
Again with no other choice but to tell the truth, Xavier spoke one more, "There is speculation that the youngest son of Uryu Sabaku, Gaara Sabaku, is the father of Hinata Hyuga's children."
"I do not understand, Mr. Yuhi. How are the Sabakus even connected with this case? Is there some history that I should know about? If there is I need to know about it now." it was another demand. Something that couldn't be gotten around.
"Judge Marshall. The conflict was resolved, as I have said before. So may I ask why you are expanding on this case? Because I really see no need."
"Mr. Yuhi, I am an enforcer of the law. My job is to make sure that those who have committed crimes get their time in court. It seems to me that many unethical deeds have occurred and I want to get down to the bottom of this. I will get to the truth. There are children are involved and I want to make sure that their best interests are sought. You are obligated to tell me the truth. So I shall ask this question again. Is there some history that I need to know about?"
"I don't know the true extent of their background. My information will probably be inaccurate or vague at best. " Xavier tried to buy more time.
"Tell me what you do know. That's always a good start."
"All I know is that when Hinata was younger she and Gaara were close. Then she left and the Gaara kid was heartbroken. That is all I that know."
"Very well, you need to tell the Hyugas that I need to meet with them on Monday." with that, Judge Marshall hung up.
"Dammit!" he slammed the phone down on the wooden table. This was spinning out of control and he had no way to stop it. The years that he tolled at law school as he simultaneously raised his children, as a single parent after his wife had left them had not prepared him for this. He was unintentionally destroying his family.
"Who was that?" Kurenai asked. She'd come into the room just as he'd slammed the phone down.
He looked at her. She had paled almost two complexions lighter. Her crimson eyes were puffy and swollen, making her look almost dead. "The judge who is handling the case," He gulped afraid to hurt his baby sister more than he already had. "He wants … he wants to take this to court because he knows about the Havana and Haveah."
With Kurenai
"Does he know who the father is?" Kurenai questioned. Her voice was shaky and cracking. Her inner thoughts roared in turmoil. "PLEASE TELL ME HE DOES NOT KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS."
Her brother opened his mouth to speak but closed it. A nod was her answer. "They could take the girls couldn't they?" Kurenai asked.
"Sis, you know I can't talk about an ongoing case." he tried to dodge her answer with the legality of being a lawyer, but he inadvertently answered her question and caused a thousand scenarios to run through her mind. All of them ended with a very broken Hinata who is Havana and Haveah less, a mother's worst nightmare.
Kurenai was brought out of her musings by a soft knock on the door. It was Gabriella. She too looked a mess. Her strawberry blonde hair was sticking out of the ponytail that she had. Her eyes were bloodshot. Both Kurenai and Xavier knew why. They'd heard the fight between her and Jacob. Kurenai knew that the girl was here to see her brother, so she silently excused herself.
With Xavier
"What can I do for you Gabby?" Xavier tried to lighten the mood with a small smile.
"Um… I… want you to take me to an airport. I'm going home." The girl replied. Unshed tears glistened in her light brown eyes.
Matsuri's House
With Gaara
Gaara holding Matsuri close to his body with a protective arm around her naked waist. Her head was on his chest, right above his heart. Their bodies were so close to each other, and their breathing both slow and coordinated. If anyone walked in at that moment, you'd think that Gaara and Matsuri was a lovely young couple. That was just at first glance. If you got closer look, you'd see that his face was contorted in pain and sadness.
Gaara was dreaming about the morning after him and Hinata's first time. Actually, it was the morning after their only time having sex.
The Dream
Sunlight came through his closed eyelids. He had no other choice, but to open them only to find the love of his life fast asleep on his chest. She was so beautiful, glowing from the previous night's escapades, with her short dark blue hair all messy and her hand close almost like she was about to suck her thumb. "What if this is a mirage?" She was too breathtaking so much so that he had no choice but to let her name roll from his tongue to try to see if this was real or not.
"Hinata" The act of saying her name aloud was a form of proof that last night was no figment of his imagination. He had finally told her that he was in love her and they had consummated their relationship, a silent vow to always love each other and be together.
However, doubt again flooded his mind on the authenticity that this morning held. He could've just been having another erotic wet dream. He looked at the rise and fall of her sheet-covered chest and smiled. This was no dream. He had made love to the most gorgeous girl on the entire planet. Unconsciously, he brought a hand up to her cheek and started to caress it softly. She snuggled up closer to his body and cried out. "I-I l-l-ove y-you G-G-Gaara. Pl-please do-don't le-leave me-me."
Hearing his thirteen-year-old girlfriend crying in her sleep for him not to leave her made his heart beat rapidly. She was crying for him. HIM. She looked so vulnerable, more defenseless than she'd ever looked before. She'd finally let the guard like fence that she encased her heart with after her mother died all of the way down. She unknowingly was showing her most angelic form, bestowing the honor of holding her heart and taking care of her to him. Another warm smile stretched across his face with this new revelation.
He kissed her forehead softly. "Nata, baby I'll never ever leave you. I'm gonna be faithful from this day forward. No More MATSURI! Hinata only. Forever and Always." Gaara thought to himself.
"Nata, I'm never leaving you." he whispered in her ear. Although she was still asleep, a smile appeared on her face.
The End of Dream
Like in his dream, sunlight came through his closed eyelids, forcing them to open. Gaara woke up hoping to see Hinata lying next to him, but instead of seeing the girl from his dreams, he saw Matsuri. She was sleeping with her head on his chest. He wasn't in his room. He was in her room, the place where outside forces didn't matter. The only thing that mattered when he was in the sanctuary of her bedroom was the sex. Nothing more and nothing less. What they had was more primitive than what cavemen and cavewomen had. At least the cavemen and cavewomen fell in love with each other. All their encounters ended with Matsuri and him taking off their clothes, him sliding on the condom as fast as possible, and sheathing himself in her. That was all there was to their relationship. SEX
Though her room contained the solace that he so desperately needed from the real world, the world where his ex-girlfriend had come back with little girls, who he believed were his. His thoughts wandered back to Hinata. "God she was so beautiful. Her hair has grown longer, but she still looks the same. Astoundingly beautiful. It was almost like I was falling back in love with her all over again. And those little girls, they look just like her. Maybe we could… Dammit what the hell am I thinking? She hates my guts." he mentally growled at himself.
Her icy words from the previous day ran through his mind. "It's none of your concern. So drop it." she'd sounded so not like his Nata that it made him believe that she was an imposter, but no one could ever fake those iconic pale lavender eyes.
"Maybe, we could fix what we had? Maybe we could get back together?"
His thoughts were conflicted. Scattered. Hopeful. Too hopeful. The warm sleeping body next to him didn't help made him feel weighted down, like he was suffocating. He had to leave this room so he could think and sort out his hectic thoughts. He lifted Matsuri's head so he could get from under her, but a soft voice whispered for him to stay. "No Gaara, please don't go. Stay." Matsuri whined as if she were a child.
The way her voice sounded; it wasn't like she normally sounded. Instead of sounding like she was in desperate need for another round of sex, she sounded like she desperately needed him to stay in bed with her as if he were her lifeline. That was the tone of voice Hinata used to use on him when they were younger to make him hold her or spend the night with her at the Hyuga Mansion. The way Matsuri's voice sounded made him absent mindedly confuse her with Hinata, almost as if he was fourteen years old and with the love of his life again. And now like then he had no other choice, but to kiss 'Hinata's' forehead and snuggle up closer to her.
"Shhhh, I'm not gonna leave. I promise." How could he have left her when she needed him? That was something that made him feel useful and helped distract him from the situation of Hinata coming back. With kids. His kids, probably. (Something that he did not tell Matsuri.)
He didn't tell Matsuri about the kids because he didn't want her to flip out and feel obligated to dump him, when they might not be his (of course they are his! He's just being stupid for trying to believe otherwise.). In some twisted way, Gaara needed Matsuri. He just wanted Matsuri to be his rock for the time being and if withholding the fact that Hinata brought his children back with her kept her around, he'd do it. She was his comfort. And he wasn't ready to be alone just yet especially because he didn't know what would occur between him and Hinata. He needed a safety net, some kind of assurance that he'd have someone to care for him in the end.
His momentary lapse in recognition, his bliss was shattered by his cell phone ringing. His ring tone played
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
He tried to ignore the phone. However, the chorus of "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance replayed at least three times. Gaara growled and put the phone up to his ear. "What do you want?" he whispered harshly, as to not wake up Matsuri.
"Gaara, have you met your children yet?" It was his mother's voice.
Reality came crashing in on him. "They are my kids. There is no use in denying it any longer. I can't deny it any longer. Hinata had my children. Our children." "How did you find out?" he spat out.
"Temari and Kankuro told me. Why in the hell didn't you tell me? I am your mother. Their grandmother. I deserved to know. Me and your father did. You are still a minor and you can't make a huge decision like that by yourself."
"Mom, what huge decision are you talking about?"
"Are you." his mother paused. He could tell that she was trying to formulate a coherent thought. "Don't you want to meet them?"
Gaara sighed. Then he replied sarcastically, "Mom, I don't know what you want me to say? I don't know how to really process this and you want me to just waltz up to those little girls and say, 'Hi I'm Gaara. I'm your dad and you guys are my daughters. Did your mom tell you about me? Cause she never told me about you. I never knew you existed until yesterday. Come on let's be BFFs.' How stupid do you think I'd sound saying that to two little kids?"
"You're right they would think that you were a Looney Tune." A frustrated sigh let his mother's lips and sounded over the phone "Come home. We'll talk about this when you come home."
"No mom, I … can't do this right now. I just can't. I'll come home later." Gaara said. Although logically he was able to somewhat cope with the fact that he needed to officially meet his children, however he was too emotional to act on that logic way of thinking. He was running away from his problems.
"Gaara this can't wait. Your children are involved. Your children. You are a father Gaara. You have to at least meet them and let them know that you are their father. You owe that to them and yourself."
"Why can't she just shut the hell up and leave me alone? Dammit" "Mom, shut up. You don't know anything. I don't owe anybody anything. Hinata didn't want me to be in their lives. Just because she is back means nothing. She left and I don't want anything to do with her or those kids. If she didn't want me in their lives then, I don't want to be in their lives now." with that Gaara hit the call end button, hanging up in his mother's face.
He felt something on his stomach and the covers on the bed started to shift. She was awake. "Matsuri" he breathed out as he felt her tongue lick his toned stomach. "That feels so good. Please don't stop. Make me forget." he was already starting to forget about what had his conversation with his mother. Matsuri was making him forget as she continued her ministrations of kissing and licking. She inched down lower until…
"Ohh." He brought a hand to the back of her head and pushed her down.
With Matsuri
"I'll make you forget. I'll make it all better. Just forget about her."
At the Hyuga Mansion
With Hinata
The morning sun filtered in through the curtains. Hinata sat on the floor of her old/new bedroom beside the bed, where Havana and Haveah slept. She'd been sitting on the lavender carpeted floor in that exact spot all night. She was crying, thinking, and listening to their steady breathing. The tempo of them inhaling and exhaling calmed down her body wracking sobs to constant sniffles and silent tears.
Everything she had built for her and her children's sakes was coming apart at the seams. Everything that she had tried to bury in her closet was coming out and pulling her under.
She was losing everything and every one who she'd come to love and cherish in Kingakure; there was nothing she could do to prevent or stop it. On the other hand she had the ones that she loved and cherished before leaving Konoha that just wanted her back, but instead got a bitchy sixteen year old girl, who didn't want to be around them, and her little girls. (She didn't mean to be a bitch. It's just that she didn't know how to handle her emotions when it came to her past and being thrown back into her old world sent her on a rollercoaster of indescribable emotions.) Then there was the fact that she was taking Vana and Veah away from everything that they'd ever known and having them staying with complete strangers. That's the part that made her feel like a failure, the most. She was on the losing of each straw. Either way she was hurting people that she loved, harming herself in return. She was hurting her new family by abandoning them. She was hurting her old family by being mean to them. And she was hurting the girls by not protecting them like she should have, like a real mother.
"Knock"
"Knock"
Someone lightly rapped on the locked bedroom door. Hinata wiped her tears and went to the door. When she opened it, she found the maid who had a stack of fresh folded white bath towels and Hinata backpack that contained her laptop and her and the girl's clothes.
"Here are your things. I sure hope that you and you little girls are hungry. Your father made a huge breakfast for you guys." the black haired maid smiled. She held out the items in her hands to Hinata.
Hinata wanted to scream, "Hiashi is not my father!" but she had decided against it.
"T-t-thanks," Hinata replied while she grabbed the towels from the maid. No smile graced her face. (Any other time, in other situation, she'd smile back, but right now, she couldn't force herself to put up the façade that she was fine. That would be a huge lie. She was angry. With the Hyugas, the world, but mostly herself. She was also hurt and depressed because she had and was still hurting everyone that she has ever loved in some way or another.)
After the maid left and Hinata shut and relocked the door, she turned around and saw both of her daughters staring at her from the bed. They had confused looks on their round faces. "M-m-mommy w-where Grandma and Hady?" Havana asked groggily.
"H-h-honey, they aren't… they aren't here" Hinata stuttered. She daringly but calmly met their piercing gazes. Their eyes were filled with unanswered questions, but for some unknown reason, they said nothing. The room developed a suffocating silence.
Breaking the silence, Hinata started talking again. "D-do y-you…" Hinata paused "Dammit, Hinata. Get it together. Get it together, Hinata. For their sakes! They need their mother. Hinata they need their mother. Be their mother." "Are you ready to take a bath?"
They smiled and nodded their heads. They loved bath time.
30 min later
Hinata gave the girls a bath, put on their clothes, took a shower, and put on her clothes. Hinata and the girls were fully clothed and getting ready to descend the stairs to find the kitchen. The girls were wearing matching lavender tank tops and red shorts with white sandals. They had their hair down, to help it dry faster.
Hinata was wearing a black and purple corset that had a picture of Justin Bieber framed in the lavender fabric that it was printed on, which used to be on one of her shirts, sewn at the top of the corset, where it curved in and showed off her some of cleavage and a black tutu like skirt that had a pair of black mini shorts sewn it and stopped just above her knees. She had on a pair of black stilettos that had 5 1/2" heel with a 2" platform. The platform had a cut in the middle. And the straps that wrapped and buckled around her ankles. Although these heels were way taller than the wedge heeled sandals she'd had on the day before, they were 'broken in' and felt better. She too had her long hair down.
As soon as they got halfway down the stairs, the wonderful smells of breakfast wafted into their noses. They picked up their pace a little. Once they'd made it all the way down the stairs, they were greeted with the dining room on their left and the living room on their right.
"Good you guys are awake. We thought that you'd sleep forever." Neji smiled, though he wanted to frown because he saw the puffy dark circles around Hinata's eyes that showed that she had been crying for a long time. He looked at Hinata's, Haveah's, and Havana's clothes, his smile faltered a little.
Hinata followed his eyes to the clothes that they were wearing. "My mom picked these clothes out." Hinata informed him nonchalantly.
He looked at her like she was crazy. His Aunt Rukia had been dead since she was five (about to be 6) years old, Hanabi was four, and he was seven. Her mother was dead, so why was she talking about her like she living breathing and walking around. He stared at her in confusion.
As if sensing his confusion, Hinata elaborated. "I mean my Mom, Kurenai."
He nodded as he turned and beckoned for them to follow. The dining room was still as huge as she remembered. The table was filled with all kinds of breakfast foods. All the way from bacon to pancakes.
"We didn't know what you'd would've liked so Uncle Hiashi and Nabi made some of everything." just as Neji said that Hiashi and Hanabi walked out of the kitchen with matching "Kiss the Chef" aprons.
"K-k-k-ki-ss-ss t-the-the c" Havana started to read the apron aloud only to be interrupted by her sister…
"cha… che… chef" she tugged at her mother's tutu. Hinata looked down. "Mommy what's a chef?"
"How could they possibly know how to read that?" Hanabi asked out of utter bewilderment. Neji's, Hanabi's and Hiashi's eyes widened to the size of saucers. They all looked at Hinata.
She blushed lightly at all the attention and stuttered out her response. "I… they are in the ad-ad-va-vanced cl-class in d-d-daycare"
"Y-yeah M-mommy taught us how to read." Haveah piped up, a smile appeared on her face as well as her sister's face too.
After explaining that she worked in a daycare, Hinata, Havana, Haveah, Hiashi, Hanabi, and Neji sat down at the table and began eating. It was actually nice. They all had pleasant conversation without bringing up anything that was awkward.
30 Min Later
A maid walked through and she had people following her. Hinata was sitting in the chair that face the doorway. So she was the first person to see that the people behind the maid were none other than Xavier, Jacob, Avery, Hayden and Gabriella. Hinata looked up at them and got the gut feeling that something was not right. Gabriella wasn't standing next to Jacob like normal.
"Why isn't Gabby all snuggled up to Jacob? Why are her eyes bloodshot? Why are his and Avery's eyes bloodshot? Why were they crying? What the hell happened?"
"Uncle X, what… Why are you guys here?" confusion laced Hinata's voice.
"Yeah, what are they doing here?" Hanabi asked. Venom flowed forth from her words.
Hinata saw Avery roll her eyes. Jacob's right arm muscles flexed and relaxed consecutively at a rapid pace, meaning that, he was clenching and unclenching his fists, which meant that Jacob was angry. "I need to speak with Hinata and Hiashi." Xavier spoke up.
Neji stood and pointed over to Hinata's new family members. "So why in the hell are they here?" his voice had risen in base. He sounded angry.
"They are here to talk with Hinata too." Xavier answered again. He looked at Hiashi pleading for him to let them talk.
"Go upstairs, Neji and Hanabi. Don't you have to meet you friends at the beach at noon? It's almost 11:15, shouldn't you be getting ready?" Hiashi conceded to Xavier's desperation. Neji and Hanabi went upstairs. Hiashi turned to Xavier. "We will talk in my office." he motioned for Xavier to follow him. They left.
Hinata turned to her new family. "What the hell is wrong with you?" no one spoke up. All of a sudden, Hayden ran into her arms as the girls ran to Jacob and Avery.
"Hina, I really missed you guys." Hayden sobbed in the fabric Hinata's corset as she rubbed his black hair. Though Hinata was touched by the fact that Hayden missed her, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Not only could she sense the tension between Gabriella and Jacob, but she also saw how Jacob snuck side-glances at the strawberry blonde, when he thought that she wasn't watching. Hinata could also see how Gabriella constantly looked between her and Jacob with a bitter expression of sadness. Hinata looked at Avery asking what was wrong only getting a silent shrug of the shoulders.
When Hayden finally let go of Hinata, she walked over to Gabriella. "You. Me. Outside Now. We need to talk." she said sternly. Gabriella just stood there. "Now." Hinata growled as she grabbed the other girl's hand and led her forcefully outside onto the porch.
"Hinata what the hell man? That really hurt." Gabby rubbed her aching hand. It was red. Hinata had really had a strong grip on her hand.
"Why were you and Jacob crying?" Hinata asked.
"Ask Jacob. He'd probably want to talk to you about it. We broke up last night. I bet you'll both be happy to finally be together." Gabriella seethed as she started to walk to Xavier's metallic dark blue Hummer.
Hinata put a hand on her shoulder, "Gabby, what the hell are you talking about?" Gabriella shrugged Hinata's hand off her shoulder and kept walking to the truck.
"Don't you dare walk away from me!" Hinata tackled the older girl to the ground and sat on her stomach, pinning her hands under her knees.
"What the hell are you, a fucking body builder!" the strawberry blonde struggled against Hinata, but to no avail.
"No, I crowned twice. But we are not here to talk about childbirth. What the hell happened between you and Jake? Why were you guys crying?"
"You should know. You're boyfriend is a total Bella*."
"Who's my boyfriend?" clearly Hinata was confused but after a few seconds understanding dawned on her. "Jake isn't by b-boyfriend. Jake isn't like that. He love y-" Hinata was cut off by
"Oh shut up. Just shut the fuck up! Stop trying to defend him. You totally know that Jacob is in love with you, Hinata! You stupid slut!" Gabriella's voice raising, causing Hinata to move away slightly, as if she had been slapped.
With Hinata
Hinata was livid. It's not for being called a slut either. She was mad that Gabriella could ever think that Jacob would be unfaithful to her. She didn't care about the doubt the eighteen year old female had about had concerning herself, but Jacob was an entirely different. (Of course, Hinata would never be with an attached man. She knows how it feels to be cheated on couldn't bear to inflict that type of emotional pain on another person. She'd totally hate herself.)
"You think that Jakey is in love with me. Oh my gosh. How can you call him a Bella? He isn't confused about who he is in love with. He knows what he wants. YOU, YOU FUCKING IDIOT." Hinata brought her hand across the older girl's face. A mark instantly formed. "He is in love with you. He only wants to be with you."
"Do you know how it feels to always compete against the All Mighty and Perfect Hinata? I can't do that anymore." Gabriella interjected as she turned her head and tears rolled sideways across her face.
"Dude, me and Jake are close and he loves me with all of his heart. But that kind of love is infinite in quantity and can always grow when another loved one comes into your life. He loves me and the girls all the same. Now you. Jacob is in love with you with all of his heart and soul and every fiber of his being, and that is not the same as him loving me with all his heart. The kind of love that me and Jakey share is nothing compared to what you to have. You guys are soul mates, totally predestined in the stars."
"Hinata, stop being delusional! Now get off of me." Gabriella growled. She was pushing up against Hinata to make the blue haired sixteen-year-old get off of her. Hinata was too strong.
"Fine if telling the truth won't work, it's time for reverse psychology and brutal facts will have to do the trick." "Do you not remember what me and Jake told you before you two got together?"
"I know the story. When you guys met, you were pregnant and you guys had this fling."
"Don't you think that if I had wanted Jake romantically like that we would've had sex by now? When we met, I was a heartbroken and pregnant fourteen year old and he was a train wreck of adolescence at the age of fifteen. We were both lonely. Not to mention we both had raging hormones. If wanted each other we would've done more than just make out on my mom's couch. I mean pregnant people have increased libido, so don't you think that if he would've ever had me in the backseat of a car with my legs open, it would've been when we first met." Hinata explained.
A sour look passed across Gabriella's face. Hinata turned Gabriella's face so that they were looking each other right in the eye. "Dude Jacob is my best friend. I totally love him to death, but that is the extent of our relationship. WE ARE FRIENDS. Sure, we've tongue kissed before, but who hasn't made out with their best friend? And don't you remember, stupid head, I'm celibate. No guy would ever want a single, celibate mother of twins. "
Hinata continued. "Besides I'd never be good enough for Jacob anyway. I'm a total fuckup and he deserves someone so much better that I could ever be. That's why he chose you. Could and will never be as perfect as you."
With Gabriella
Hinata was showing Gabriella her insecurities. Seeing her friend like this made Gabriella realize how young and scarred Hinata was. Gabriella could feel her anger starting to fade and being replaced by the ever so icky emotion remorse. The worst kind. The kind remorse that only occurs after wrongly accusing one of your closest friend of being a boyfriend-stealing slut because you were feeling insecure of about your boyfriend being in love with you wholeheartedly." Why do you do that? How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"I finally see why people can't ever be mad at you. You do that insecure thing and doubt yourself and it only makes you look even more perfect. You make everyone fall under that spell of yours. Hell I don't even remember why I was totally pissed at you in the first place."
"Yeah, she does that a lot." someone behind them said. They turned around and saw none other that the redhead that Jacob said was the father of the girls (Gaara).
Gabriella could see that his eyes were directly on Hinata. He looked so desperate and lost and sad. His eyes were the windows to his soul indeed, like a mirror that showed nothing but desperation to be loved, heartache, and sorrow. He was about ten feet away, but she could see that this boy was love with Hinata, completely in love. By the transfixed way Hinata was looking back at him, her heart was still with him as well.
With Gaara
Flashback
He felt something on his stomach and the covers on the bed started to shift. She was awake. "Matsuri" he breathed out as he felt her tongue lick his toned stomach. "That feels so good. Please don't stop. Make me forget." he was already starting to forget about what had his conversation with his mother. Matsuri was making him forget as she continued her ministrations of kissing and licking. She inched down lower until…
"Ohh." He brought a hand to the back of her head and pushed her down.
Matsuri's mouth felt good but his brain was yelling. "STOP! WHAT ABOUT HINATA AND MY KIDS, HINATA AND MY KIDS, HINATA AND MY KIDS, HINATA AND MY KIDS! HINATA HAD MY KIDS. SHE HAD OUR KIDS"
He wasn't thinking straight and the warmth of her mouth ceased to give him pleasure. "M stop." the girl didn't budge "Please" his voice cracked and she moved away. He pushed her away from his legs. "I don't think that we can do this anymore."
"Gaara, did I do something wrong?" Matsuri asked.
"No, it's not you it's me. I… I need to leave I'm sorry." he went over to his clothes and put them on hurriedly.
Then he left Matsuri's house as fast as he could. Since he didn't have his motorcycle, he was left to amble around the neighborhood back to his house, but he took an unexpected turn and ended up in front of the Hyuga Mansion.
There were two people in the yard. One with long flowing dark blue hair and one with strawberry blond. The blue haired girl was sitting on the other girl. He heard her say in a soft voice "Besides I'd never be good enough for Jacob anyway. I'm a total fuckup and he deserves someone so much better that I could ever be. That's why he chose you. Could and will never be as perfect as you." it was none other that Hinata's voice.
"Hinata. Why are you talking about yourself like that? Why are you degrading your worth? Did I make you feel that way? I'm sorry." he mused to himself and didn't zone back into eavesdropping on their voices until the end of the conversation.
"Why do you do that? How do you do that?" the other girl spoke.
"Do what?" Hinata's melodious voice spoke once again.
"I finally see why people can't ever be mad at you. You do that insecure thing and doubt yourself and it only makes you look even more perfect. You make everyone fall under that spell of yours. Hell I don't even remember why I was totally pissed at you in the first place." the other girl answered.
He walked closer to them. When he stopped, he said what he thought. "Yeah she does that a lot."
End of Flashback
That's why right here and now Gaara and Hinata are in the front yard of the Hyuga Mansion staring at each other. Hinata still sitting on girl not moving and him standing still, not overstepping the invisible boundary that he assumed that she'd encased around herself again. He wanted to breach that boundary again so he could be with her. He didn't know how he did it, but seeing her yesterday had brought his love for her back to the surface and he wanted to do it all over again, just to be with her. He would do it all over again just to be with her.

*Bella- someone who is stringing two people along because they don't what they want and they can't distinguish the boundaries between the two types or extents of love. (Bella is a made up term by me. Based off how Bella Swan from Twilight series handled her love for Edward Cullen and Jacob Black)
