He knew, and now nothing would stop him from telling everyone that she had been the reason for her families deaths. When she passed the lake Hinata knew she was headed in the right direction, all she had to do was follow this round and she would be in town. Nothing would stop her.
Thunder crackled over head as the rain pelted her skin, soaking her. She was chilled right to the bone yet still running along the road side but it was more sluggish than before. Hinata had it all planned out in her head, she would move houses to a town where nobody had heard of her, change her name and start again. 'That will work,' she thought to herself, laughing. Her jog slowed to a walk as the mud got thicker. A car pulled up besides her, she ignored it but heard the door open any way.
"Hinata what are you doing out in this rain," somebody shouted. She ignored them, continuing. The stranger grabbed her wrist, yanking her towards them. It was Gaara.
"What are you doing walking in the rain," he shouted fighting to be heard over the wind and thunder, Hinata could see the concern on his face as everything was lit up by the lightning. Hinata felt herself crumble, gripping his arms she began to cry.
"Help me forget Gaara, please help me forget it all," she begged. Gaara slapped her. She gasped sinking to her knees.
"You cannot forget them Hinata nor what happened to them, you can never forget. That just running away and you our not a coward Hinata," he screamed, enraged by her words. He sunk down to her level, eyes glued to the red welt on her cheek.
"I shouldn't have hit you, I'm sorry Hinata," he said, hugging her. She hugged him back, "It's okay," Hinata muttered.
