Well, here is the 10th chapter, so sorry for the long wait but I hope you will enjoy.
Gaara turned around to the offending person behind them.
"Sasuke." Gaara greeted, shielding Hinata from his view.
"Ah, what a place to meet you here and..." His eyes shifted behind Gaara, "...With a female companion." He chuckled lowly.
"Yes. What a place indeed to see you here..." Gaara growled lowly.
Sasuke waved his hand, "And so, who is this beautiful companion behind you, Gaara?" Sasuke questioned.
Gaara gave a light sigh; he turned and grabbed Hinata's hands in his, keeping her tightly to his side, "This is Hinata. Hinata, this is Sasuke." Gaara reluctantly introduced the pair.
"L-lovely t-to m-meet y-you, S-Sasuke." Hinata smiled brightly at the black-haired man. However, she felt the tension between Gaara and Sasuke; it seemed Gaara had no desire to speak with him further with her by his side. She blushed deeply when she realised their hands were entwined.
"Likewise, Hinata." His eyes pierced hers as if he was trying to read her soul; however, she realised that his eyes were not warm and gentle like Gaara's. Sasuke's was much more sinful and dangerous.
Holding his hand tightly, she turned to him, "W-we s-should g-get g-going." She began, tearing Gaara's attention from Sasuke's to have his attention entirely on her, "W-we d-don't w-want t-to m-miss o-our o-other p-plans d-do w-we?" She brightly at him, her smile beaming so brightly at him he almost forgot about Sasuke.
His eye lowered a little as to what she was talking about, but then, he realised, she was trying to get them both out of the situation and away from Sasuke.
Gaara nodded his head, "Yes, we must continue on our date." he turned back to Sasuke, "Sasuke." he shook his head, took Hinata by the shoulders, and walked in the opposite direction.
"Have fun... Gaara." Sasuke smirked and watched the two pairs walk away, hand in hand. It is as I thought; he is smitten by her. Sasuke laughed darkly. Perfect. He put his hands in his pockets and walked in the opposite direction as to where the couple once were.
Gaara and Hinata were still holding hands as they strolled through the old park; they knew Sasuke was far behind them. However, Gaara kept his arm around her shoulder, and she was more than willing to have Gaara's arm wrapped around her. She was feeling a little giddy to have his arm around her shoulders, it was a totally new experience for her, and she certainly was going to saviour it.
On the contrary, Gaara was feeling just the same. He wasn't usually the type to openly express his feelings, nor was he one to make the first move, more so with a girl, but he found he immensely enjoyed Hinata's little shoulders under his muscular arm. More so, he seemed to enjoy the pearl-eyed girl.
They were content to just say nothing and walk through the deserted park. Both savouring the moment. The park was old, but somehow, Gaara felt it looked much prettier with Hinata by his side. The dead flowers didn't seem so slow, and the muddy grass didn't look so dirty. The park looked more like an ordinary park.
"I-it I-is a-an o-old p-park, b-but I-it I-is s-still a-a n-nice p-park," Hinata said first.
"Yes." Gaara nodded his head.
"I-I've a-always l-liked c-coming t-to p-places l-like t-these," Hinata said with the light shining in her eyes.
"As do I." He agreed.
They neared the broken fence of the park and looked at each other as if asking a question silently. Should we end here?
Hinata smiled at him brightly, "I-I r-really e-enjoyed m-myself t-today."
"I... I enjoyed myself too, Hinata." he looked down at her smiling face, and just like before, he felt a strong desire to lean in and capture her moist lips.
Hinata's eyes were already closed, so he quickly leaned in and gave her a quick and tender kiss. It was just for a swift moment, but to both of them, it lasted a lifetime. Hinata blushed deeply that she turned as bright as a tomato. Gaara feared that she might faint. Holding her tightly in his arms, her blush, as if possible, deepen.
"Sorry." Gaara apologised.
"I-It's o-okay." Hinata smiled. "I-It's j-just..." She lowered her eyes to the ground.
"What is it?" Gaara looked down to see her blush covering her whole face; whatever it was made her blush even more as if she wasn't already.
"T-That w-was m-my v-very f-first k-kiss." She felt Gaara stiffen under her hold. He stepped back a little bit and looked at her again; the shock was seen through his usual gruff features.
"I-I am... The first kiss you've had?" Gaara whispered to her, holding her face between his hands.
Hinata nodded in response, not trusting her voice to say anything else. Gaara leaned down and, once more, captured her lips with his. His tongue grazed her bottom lip, asking for permission, which she granted. His tongue entwined with her fiercely, while Hinata, inexperience, could only hold on to his arm to support herself and try to keep up with him. Gaara wasted no time; he let one hand glide through her hair while the other stayed on her waist, bringing them together more.
The two stayed like that for serval minutes more until Hinata had to pull away for breath. Her chest heaved as she quickly tried to regain her breath again. She looked at Gaara as she did; he was staring at her with admiration.
"That was something." Gaara chuckled, tucking a loose strain of her hair behind her ear.
"Y-Yes..." Hinata Squeaked, that was more than something.
The sky above them roared and spitted as the dark clouds were brought together and rain poured from the sky. Hinata gasped as the rain poured down on her, drenching her clothes.
Gaara wasn't partially fond of the rain, but he never carried an umbrella; not only that, but he was only wearing a single singlet. Looking down at Hinata, he grabbed her hand in his again, and they both headed out of the park in search of shelter.
"Ino," Sasuke called through the large office, setting down the black umbrella he carried in his car on the pot plant next to the door.
He walked through the doors that lead to hers and his office but found no blonde woman.
"Ino!" He called again.
He could hear the shuffling of the papers in the storage room and then a faint sigh. He watched as the blonde woman carried a big stack of pink and blue pieces.
"Yes, Sasuke." She said through gritted teeth.
"I need you to do something for me." He fiddled with his wet coat and flung it on one of the chairs in front of her small desk.
"You mean I am not already doing something for you right now?" she mocked, "Why don't you help me and grab some of these heavy papers!" She screeched when the stack of papers wobbled in her hands.
Sasuke groaned, but he grabbed the paper's top half, "Where are they going?" He said, boredom evident in his voice.
"Where do you think?" she clicked her tongue, "To your office." She shook her head and pushed past him.
"We need to go through some rules of respect, Ino." He eyed her as he followed her into his office.
"Rules of respect? I had to ask you for help. Tell me," She put down the stack of papers on his rather large desk and put her hands on her hips, "Where was the respect there?" she grumbled lowly under her breath.
"Jesus, what happened to you while I was gone." Sasuke shook his head and walked over to his desk to check out what the papers were, putting his stack next to hers.
"Well, if you must know. My boyfriend cheated on me with some bitch, so I got back at him and slept with someone else." She crossed her arms and looked outside the window. It was pouring rain out there, the clouds black and meek; it was a wonder there wasn't any lightning yet.
"You woman are strange," Sasuke grumbled under his breath; he shook his head when the woman glared outside his window.
"What'd you want me to do?" She snapped, looking at him.
"I need you to find me some more information about the girl, Hinata." he sighed, grabbed the paper that had the club's finance information and began to sign what needed to be signed.
"I told you, I can not find the girl without proper identification." Ino shook her head. "Sakura might of given me her number, but she was in no position to give me what she looked like."
"I do," Sasuke grumbled as he looked at the numbers.
"Do you?" Ino's eyebrows perked up.
"Yes." He nodded. He then left the papers on his desk momentarily and moved over to his computer, "I will send you the footage of Gaara and Hinata at that... at that place called knifes café or café knives, I don't know, but there is some good footage of them both, and you can see the girl clearly." He typed in a few things on his computer and then sent the link.
"How did you get the footage?" She questioned.
"I saw them both today. It seems they went on a date much quicker than we thought." He laughed as he remembered how protective Gaara was towards Hinata.
"They were on a date? Huh, I thought by the way she was talking that it would take a while for her to muster up the courage to even call him." Ino shook her head, "So you were there spying?"
"Observing, more likely." He growled, "It appeared they were finishing their date, but when I appeared, they seemed to want to continue it."
"Well, it seems your a charm." Ino mocked.
"Just get back to work." He yelled.
"Alright, alright, on it." Ino waved her hand and began to walk out of the room.
"And Ino!" He called out to her; she turned around and looked at him, one hand on the door handle, "Call Gaara for me. Tell him... I need him for one of my missions." he smirked when her face widened in shock.
"W-Why? You said they wanted to continue their date. Why stop it now?" She asked, already knowing the answer.
"Because I need him." He shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to give any more information away.
Ino said nothing; turning around, she breathed out and went about her duties for Sasuke.
"A-Aren't y-you c-cold?" Hinata asked; they were hiding under the bus shelter a block away from her house, the rain was pouring really hard, and neither of the two had an umbrella.
"I'm okay." He shrugged, keeping one arm around her waist, "Aren't you?"
"I-I'm f-fine." She smiled up at him, she was shivering from the cold and Gaara knew.
"Usually, I have a jumper." He began, "But I thought it would be warm." He looked up to the darkening sky, black clouds lingering.
"I-I t-thought s-so t-too." Hinata agreed.
The both of them stood under the bus stop with their arms wrapped around each other as they watched the downpour of rain. It was cold, they agreed, but they both were granting body heat to the other.
Their silence, however, was cut short by the loud ringing of Gaara's phone.
Reaching into his back pocket, Gaara grumbled at his phone but answered anyway, "Hello?" He growled to the person on the other end. "Hmm-hmm." He mumbled, looking quite bored with the person he was talking with.
Hinata watched as he slowly took his arm from her and straightened it by his side. She was a little disheartened to have his arm away from her shoulder but hugged herself as she watched him talking.
"He wants me to what?" He narrowed his eyes at the speaker, glaring into his phone, "Can't he get someone else? I am busy." He looked at Hinata from the corner of his eyes; she was staring at him too.
The person on the other side said something to make him sigh in defeat, "He better pay me to double for this." He growled, angrily hitting the end button and shoving his phone back into his pocket. He turned his full attention back to Hinata, sighing when he saw the understanding, "It seems I have a job to do for Sasuke, the one we met earlier."
Hinata nodded, "I-I u-understand." she played with her thumbs, "H-Hanabi m-must b-be w-worried a-about m-me a-anyway. I-I's r-raining a-and g-getting l-late." she pulled her cardigan tighter to her body.
"We should go out again some other time." he looked up to the sky again. He didn't want to leave Hinata out in the rain, she wasn't that far from home, but he felt he should at least walk her home, "I should walk you home." he suggested.
"N-No." She shook her head, "H-Hansuke w-will b-be w-waiting f-for m-me. H-He t-thought I-I w-was g-going o-out w-with S-Sakura. I-it w-will g-give h-him a-a h-heat a-attack I-if I-I w-walk h-home w-with a-a b-boy. P-Plus, y-you h-have t-to g-go t-to w-work n-now." She smiled.
Always smiling. Gaara thought, "I don't mind." he shook his head.
"I-It's q-quite a-alright." She nodded her head.
"Well..." He leaned closer to her, "If you insist." He captured her lips again, but it was only a quick one. He was still trying to get over the fact that he was the first kiss. Hinata giggled like a schoolgirl as she watched him straighten up, bolt out of the bus's shelter, and then down the street to wherever he was working.
Hinata stayed there for a couple moments more as she watched the disappearing redhead. She watched as he ran like a professional athlete, his arms perfectly moving with the other, his muscles contracting and flexing under the wet. She was like a giddy schoolgirl.
Realising that she, too, needed to get out of the rain, she pulled her cardigan over her head and, like Gaara, bolted out of the bus shelter and ran down the street to her house.
"Hinata!" Hansuke howled. Hinata was soaked through the bone, her hair was matted and clung to her forehead, her clothes defined her curvy body, and the light makeup she wore was running down her face, "What on earth happened to you?" He questioned.
"I-I w-was c-caught I-in t-the r-rain." Hinata stammered; she was freezing from the cold and wondered how Gaara felt.
"Oh, Hinata." Hansuke shook his head, "Come, come. I will help." He ushered her upstairs.
"Hinata!" Hanabi yelled from the top of the stairs. Seeing her elder sister wet and shivering, she bolted down the stairs and smiled at Hansuke, "I will help Hinata. You can do that knitting thing you were doing." she offered.
Hansuke gave a questionable look, but he shrugged his shoulders, "Okay." He patted Hinata on the shoulder and walked off down the hall.
Hinata sighed with gratitude but realised Hanabi was giving her an evil smile.
"You must tell me everything." She eagerly pulled her elder sister up the stairs, and the two giggled like two schoolgirls. Well, at least one of them still was.
Gaara looked around the place he was in. It was an abandoned warehouse. It was significant, more so it was deserted with almost no furniture, save the two or three chairs scattered in the middle of the room; however, it was quiet.
Too quiet.
He stuck to the shadows as he looked for any signs of human life in the room. He could hear the loud thundering of the lightning and the padding of rain falling on the tin roof. The windows in the room were cracked and broken, and mould started growing in the walls and cracked floor.
His hair was matted to his forehead. It prickled his wet skin. Beads of soaking rain that still lingered ran down his back and in his already-soaked T-shirt. In his hand, however, he held a sharp and shiny object. He held it tightly in his palms, waiting for any moment for someone to pounce on him, but he would be ready.
Suddenly, with blinding speed. Four men came out hiding with guns in their hands, shooting at him. Gaara, however, was quick and smirked as he dodged the bullets with perplexing speed. He quickly attacked the man closers to him and knifed him in the shoulder, making him drop the gun.
Gaara quickly picked up the gun and shot him dead. He then moved on to the others and hit them each in different but fatal spots. Blood splattered all over the ground, almost like a puddle of death. He then heard the grand haven of the warehouse door open and saw his blonde friend come in with his own gun.
"I see you started without me, brother," Naruto smirked as the two cleared out of the warehouse. He laughed at all the dead bodies on the ground, but then he pointed his gun like a pro and shot a man up on the balcony, "Looks like there are more coming to play."
"I see yours two did the job." Sasuke clarified. He was leaning back on his chair, lounging with his feet on the table, smiling as the both of them were covered in sweat and blood.
"Hm." Gaara nodded his head.
"You know it!" Naruto smiled brightly, giving a toothy grin.
"I expect we will be paid handsomely," Gaara said.
"Of course." Sasuke leaned further on his chair and opened one of the drawers beside him. He pulled out a large sack of money for the both of them, "I always take care of my friends.'
Naruto gave a loud snort but took the money regardless. Gaara picked up his share and flipped through the notes.
"It's all there, boys." Sasuke leaned back in his chair again and closed his eyes.
The men in the room nodded when their share of the money was evenly distributed. Gaara put his share in his pocket while Naruto put his in a bag he was carrying.
"Tell me." Sasuke began, chuckling, "Did they suffer as they should of?"
"They are dwelt with; that is all you need to know." Gaara put his hands in his pocket and began to walk out of the room, Naruto following behind.
"I suppose." He chuckled again, "Oi, Gaara!" Sasuke called.
"Hm." He turned around to look at Sasuke.
"I hope you had a good time with Hinata." He smiled, brushing aside the stacks of paperwork on his desk.
Gaara shook his head as he walked out of the office.
"Sasuke's taking an interest in Hinata," Naruto said, walking beside his red-haired friend.
"Hm." Gaara acknowledged.
"I would be careful." He warned.
"I know." he sighed; he still wasn't wearing a jacket, and the cold wind outside wasn't helping with that fact.
"Well." Naruto started, "I best be off, need another gal to warm my sheets tonight." he winked at his friend and gave a wave goodbye, bolting off in the opposite direction.
Gaara looked up to the dark sky; it had stopped raining at some point. With a half smile, he thought he had disappeared into the night with the day's event fresh in his mind. But all he could see with the pitch black sky was the pearl-eyed girl's black hair. Hinata.
I hope this chapter is acceptable, I worked a little bit harder for this chapter. And as the title says, Gaara is a Bad Boy. :)
I did try not to make the scene with just Gaara so much gruesome.
