Day: 3
     He only woke up to the sound of nothing, griping clean white bed sheets. He lifted his head from his arms, and felt a warm breeze hit his face. The wind danced through his red hair, it relaxed him, until he felt something missing. He looked at the bed, his eyes widened in horror, Hinata wasn’t there.
   ‘Is she dead?’ he thought looking around the room. This was the only time in his life that he felt scared that someone he actually cared about died. He muttered cures as he opened the door of the room fast. Everything was to silent for him. He looked to his right , and he saw that relieved him.
    Down the hall Temari, Yami , and Yukito were smiling, with them was Hinata. Gaara’s eyes softened, and a small smile formed on his face. Hinata looked up to see him at the other side of the hallway, she waved and smiled sweetly as a small blush formed on her face.
    ‘Why is she blushing?’ three people thought  at the same time. Yami looked down the hall. “Ohayo Gaara-sama!!” she waved to him cheerfully . Temari and Yukito turned around and waved to him.
  “oh…Hi Kazekage-sama…” the doctor pushed the his glasees up using one of his fingers. “May I talk to you alone please?” Gaara nodded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Naruto and Neji arrived at the gates panting like crazy.
        “Kuso…” Naruto mumbled, “Well.. At least we made it. Neji…how long does she have?” It took a while to catch his breathe.
     “Not long we have to find her quickly and take her back. I’d give Hinata-sama four days.”  he activated his byakugan
                  “Her chakura isn’t fresh here but she knows how to fool my byuakugan…damn…” he deactivated it.
     “So your telling me she’s probably not here!?” Naruto yelled  frustrated.
    “I don’t know but I only know is that you need to relax if you want to find Hinata-sama…”
   Naruto’s right eye twitched. He sighed and started walking into the village with Neji right behind him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    “Ah my head what the hell happened? I havent felt this way since Naruto threw a party and well…Where is Naruto?” Sasuke looked around , to only see Sai sleeping and hugging his sketch book. Sasuke rolled his eyes and kicked Sai with the little strength that he had. Sai  wasn’t bothered at all. “ Damn it Sai…WAKE UP!!!” he kicked him harder.
           Now the drug started to take it’s effect again. His head started hurting even more , and his legs couldn’t support him so he fell right on top of Sai.
           Sai
      Sai’s eyes snapped open as he felt a lot of weight drop on him. He looked down and say a drugged Uchiha on him. “Sasuke…why the hell are you on me?” he got no answer. “ Hey Uchiha…” Sai was getting ticked off because Sasuke wouldn’t answer but he hide it. Then he felt something hitting his leg over and over again.  Sai looked down at the Uchiha, his eyes widened at Sasuke.
      “Sasuke get of my leg and stop humping it while your at it!!!” as hard as Sai tried a little blush spread across his face.
     “What the hell? IM NOT GAY! I’m not humping you, you freaking retard!! I’m trying to get up but it seems the drug has weakened me a lot! So each time I try to get up I fall. Tch and I thought you were smart.” Sasuke’s eye twitched ,
     “Yea that’s what he said…Well I know plenty of ways to prove that your gay…” Sasuke glared at Sai after he finished his statement.
      “If you can then name the reasons why you think I’m gay.” Sasuke spat. Sai sighed as he was about to start his list of ‘Why I think Sasuke is gay.’
     “First, you give Naruto the weirdest of looks. Second, you have no sttraction for the opposite sex. Third, you were violating me. Fourth-”
     “OK OK I get it geez. I do not give Naruto weird looks.” Sasuke kinda blushed. Sai smirked.
    “Heh that just proved it… you are blushing.”
   “Since when did you start getting all emotional god? I liked it when you had no emotions at all.”
    “What do you expect I’ve been around Naruto for to long.” Sai sighed again, “wait where is Naruto…and Neji too?…oh crap….they went ahead didn’t they?” Sasuke said nothing it was an obvious answer.
     “We should go and try to catch up…”  Sasuke said, with as much strength as possible he tried to get up , and this time he was successful. “ But how come  you weren’t affected by the drug?” Sai put on a fake smile.
       “I didn’t drink the water. I drank my own, only because I knew Neji put the drugs in there.” Sasuke didn’t want to say anything else and started walking very slowly, then he felt an arm around his shoulder  and support him. “It would be easier to walk with my help since the drugs still are affecting you, and plus your not gay so you wont mind me doing this.” Sai said with another fake smile plastered on his face. Sasuke just wanted Sai to drop the him being gay thing but now he didn’t care. They had to catch up with Neji and Naruto fast. SO with the help of Sai they ran as fast as they could.
-----------------------------------------------------------
         Gaara stood on the balcony  looking out to the horizon. The wind playing with his red locks, getting them out of his face to reveal the “Ai” mark on his forehead.  
           “I’m surprised she recovered in only one day. Its odd , but that’s good, But be careful, keep her inside as much as possible. The heat maybe to much for her t this point. Also…try not to put any physical or emotional stress on her, if you do this she’ll be just fine and keep an eye on her. That is all/”  
             Gaara sighed and rubbed his temples. Ever since last night he cant stop worrying and thinking about Hinata. He touched his lips , he remembered when Hinata had kissed him. ‘Why did she do that? Why would any one want to kiss me…touch me for that matter.’ then he heard a  light knock on the door.
               “Enter…”  he turned  around to see Hinata close the door behind her. Gaara couldn’t help but stare at her.
              She was wearing a white dress, it was slightly above her knees. It was from the hospital so it wouldn’t be showy or anything, but it was kind a small on her so it was tight on her. Gaara liked how it looked on her, even if it made her look a lot like a ghost since she was already pale.
              Hinata looked at Gaara and blushed under his gaze , “K-Konichiwa Kazekage-sama.” Gaara sighed.
          “Remember I told you to call me Gaara. G-A-A-R-A.” Hinata giggled.
           “Ok G-A-A-R-A.” Hinata giggled again. Gaara loved it when she was happy but he didn’t know why. “It’s beautiful ,ne Gaara-kun?” she asked looking out to the horizon. Closing her eyes she let the breeze embrace her . Playing with her dress and her indigo hair.
            Gaara looked in awe at Hinata, “ Y..yea..Hinata…I-” Gaara was interrupted by the sound of a the door slamming open. Temari  was at the door panting.
           “Gaara come down stairs now…” Gaara had no emotion on his face and he nodded.
            “I’ll be right back Hinata.” still no emotion in him or in his voice. He sensed something bad was going to happen. He followed Temari out of the office and closed the door lightly.
        Hinata turned back around after he left, looking out to the setting sun on another day. She closed her eyes and put her hands on the railing and leaned on it. She muttered ‘Byuakugan’ soon veins appeared on the edges of her eyes. Looking down, she saw many chakras all she recognized , for some odd reason. She shouldn’t know there chakras she doesn’t know who they are.
    Suddenly Hinata felt a sharp pain in her head and deactivated her Byuakugan , and then the pain went away. ‘Great I cant even use Byuakugan anymore…wait…was that niisan’s chakra!?’ she ran to the office door and slammed it open and ran down the halls, then down some flits of stairs. As soon as she almost got to the last flit she stopped immediately , then hide behind the hall.
   

        “Where’s HINATA!?” HInata recognized that voice, they very one she wished never to hear again.
        “She’s not here…” Gaara said crossing his arms over his chest, looking as annoyed as ever. Neji was  ready to kill Naruto and Naruto was well being Naruto.
         “Gaara I know your lying now where is she?!” Naruto stood in front of Gaara and grabbed
him by the collar. Gaara stared blankly into Naruo’s eyes.
         “Naruto I think you should calm-”
        “I am calm Neji!” Naruto glared at Neji. Neji  just kept his cool and backed off. “ Now where is she?”
         Hinata looked  from the side of the wall unfortunately for her Neji caught her.
          “If Hinata isn’t here , then who is?” Neji said staring towards the stairs , then Naruto turned around and saw nothing but stairs and a wall.
          “No ones here that concerns  you, its only me, Temari, Kankuro , and one of Temari’s friends…that is all who’s here. If you don’t believe me…,Yume come here.” Hinata jumped when she heard her false name, and warily came down the stairs staring at her feet, out of nervousness she started pressing her fingers together, a trait Neji was  familiar with.  But Hinata suddenly stopped , knowing that her cousin would find out that it was her.
           “Eto…nice to met you? My… my name is Yume.” she bowed respectfully to Neji and he did the same.
            “Hi Yume, I’m Neji and the guy right there is Naruto Uzumaki.” Naruto waved and gave her a fox like grin. “So Yume…have you heard of a girl named Hinata?” Hinata moved her dark violet eyes to the right and then to the left, avoiding his glance.
             “I..I don’t know who she is…or heard of her. W-Why?” Neji sighed, he was getting no where or was he.
             “We just need to get her back to Konoha, before something happens to her.” Hinata kind  flinched
, she slightly moved her head to the right.
               “Good…luck finding her Neji-kun.” she smiled.
                  In Neji’s mind he could only see Hinata , his beloved cousin, smiling , not this different person in front of him. Neji turned sad, “I’m sorry…”
                    Everyone looked at him wondering why he was saying sorry.  He made  many hand signs and then made the tiger hand sign in front of his face.
                      
                         “KAI!”
                   Hinata’s eyes widened , she  could  hear her own hearts beat it was getting louder and louder. Pain spread throw her body like a wild fire, the marks on her back felt like they were pulsing.
                   “I..Itai…” everyone turned her attention to her, “ ITAI! Please make it stop! It hurts, niisan stop! Itaiiii!” Hinata fell to the ground shaking terribly,” Niisan make it stop PLEASE!” Tears fell from there from her eyes.
                     “H…Hinata…” Neji said he made the tiger sign again, “Seal…You know…you guys could have completely avoided this if you told this to me before.” Gaara glared at Neji, everyone else just looked at Neji , wide eyed.
                        “Maybe it’s you who could have prevented it…” Gaara whispered , and left to go to his office.
                       ‘Shit he’s in a bad mood.’ Temari and Kankuro thought at the same time exchanging glances, and left the room to go see if their baby brother was ok.
                         “Hinata-chan are you ok?” Naruto kneeled besides Hinata , putting his hands on her shoulders.  
                       Her eyes were red and puffy, tears still fell , rolling down her cheeks, and this time she didn’t have someone   to wipe those tears away . Her lavender eye looked into Naruto’s eyes.
During all of this she took out her contacts she didn’t need them anymore she had nothing to hide any more; more like no where to hide anymore.
                    “N-Naruto…kun…” she hugged Naruto , digging her face into his chest, crying her eyes out again. He held her in his arms, whispering comforting words into her ears and rubbing her back.
                     Neji just watched he felt as if he couldn’t do anything well he couldn’t do anything, but watch. He felt sad , very sad he didn’t want to cause his cousin any pain but he did and blamed others.
‘Heh. Neji your one asshole…’ he thought to himself.
                     “Listen Hinata,…we are going to have to leave tonight…we need you to get you back quickly ok?” he only received  a nod and a few hiccups  as a response. “Ok…maybe you should go get your things.” Hinata lifted her head from his chest and looked at him and nodded again rubbing her eyes. She stood  up slowly and went up the stairs carefully.
  ------------------------------

                    A few hours had passed ,and Hinata was still up in her temporary room getting her things together. She could hear everything that was happening next door in the Kaze’s office. She could hear the yelling and slamming of things, but then there was a slam , and footsteps, then complete silence again. She heard a female and a male voice right outside her door .

                       “Sometimes I cant stand him!” the female voice yelled.
                       “Temari calm down…you know he gets like this sometimes-”this time it was the male voice.
                       “Well I’ve had enough.”
                        “Temari, you know…he’s like this because…you know…” she heard a sigh and  the sound of the  footsteps walk away from her door to down the hall.
                             Hinata opened her door slightly to see if the coast was clear, and it was. She opened the door enough for her to slip out, when she was out she shut the door lightly.
                           She was wearing her normal clothes , but without  her bulky jacket. She creped down the hall to the door. But only stood there not wanting to open the door.
-----------------------------------

                      He stood over looking his village, it was silent it was like only the wind seemed to comfort it. His eyes fixed on one thing it was the object in his hands.
                       The object was a necklace with a gold ring one it, it had his name engraved init so no one could see it. He lifted the one around his neck and looked at it sadly. Engraved on it was her name, the one he now loved,  her name…Hinata.
                      For so long he denied that he loved her, for so long he hide it, to long for his own good. He wanted to show her how he felt ,he did , but it didn’t seem good enough for him. He put the necklace back in his shirt so no one could see it, no one ever would.

He began singing , which was  unlike him but he could do it and he did.
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears

-
Hinata could hear him , she was surprised that she was hearing him sing, and also what surprised her was that she knew that song. She heard it when she was little.
        She pressed her ear against the door, so she could hear better
-
Shamed into solitude
Shunned by the multitude
I learned to listen
In my dark, my heart heard music

I long to teach the world
Rise up and reach the world
No one would listen
I alone could hear the music

Then at last, a voice in the gloom
Seemed to cry, "I hear you!
I hear your fears,
Your torment and your tears!"
   

   He stopped for a second until he heard a feminine voice sing out the rest of the song. But she changed it a little bit, instead of she it was now he.


He saw my loneliness
He’d in my emptiness
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears

No one would listen
No one but him
Heard as the outcast hears

   Gaara turned around to face the person who had entered his office without him knowing.
    Hinata closed the door behind her ,she  had a small smile on her pale face. She slowly walked to Gaara, as he only looked at her eyes semi-wide. She was the first person to ever hear him, well no one ever has because he never sings ever, until now.
     “Y-You sounded great G-Gaara-kun.” She was next to him leaning on the railing to the balcony. “I’m guessing…this will be the last time that I’ll see this place. Gaara, I’m going to have t-tonight….I’m sorry.”
       Then, she suddenly felt arms rap around her, into a tight and comforting embrace. This was probably the last time she’ll ever see him, or feel him, so she hugged back, something he hoped she would do.
        “What are you sorry for? I’m going with you back to a Konoha, friends don’t abandon friends ,right?” she nodded.
         Oh how he wished that they would be more than that, but he knew that’s it wasn’t possible.
       “Gaara, there was this story my mom used to tell me over and over again. It was about a small little angel who would always cry and so it would rain, and a boy who was on a mission to find that girl and make her happy. And when he did he had to choose between his feelings or his safety, in the end he stayed with her even though it killed him. Mother never told me who she was referring to…but now I think I know. That little angel, I think the little angel was me...and that  boy…is supposed to be…”
         “Me?” Gaara asked, but he didn’t know her mom, but…she knew him. It was to confusing for them. But never to confusing to try to understand.
-----------

             Night was falling on the silent village of Suna. The two were still in the office talking and sometimes enjoying the silence that surrounded them. But time was running out they would soon have to leave, and then it would all end for them. Now he had to tell her, it was now or never, and never wasn’t an option.
          “Hinata, I have to tell you something…I-”
            Their lips meet as the sunset in the horizon, revealing the many wonders in the night, how the stars woke from their long sleep and brightened the dark sky with their dim glow. How the moon welcomed them with it’s soft smile.
          Pure passion filled the air as the kiss deepened, but it soon ended as they needed air. Hinata’s face was so red , that you could mistake her for a tomato.
           “Gaara, I’m s-sorry it…slipped.” Gaara just smiled , lucky bastard didn’t have to say anything for her to  know his feelings.
          “You…um don’t have to be sorry it happens?” Hinata giggled it wasn’t like him to say ‘um’.
          There was a light knock on the door and then it slightly open., it was Naruto.
         “Hinata, its time to go, so say your goodbyes….So I’ll see you around then Gaara.” before Naruto could close the doors.
         “How said I wasn’t go?” a smirk spread across his lips. Naruto looked at him with an annoyed face and started mumbling.
         “Stupid cool people they thing there so high and mighty, you know? They always think about themselves , you know? Freaking spiky haired people, with the eyes and the sand and that cool things they do ,you know?” he mumbled staring at the two still with an annoyed look on his face. “ Oi wipe that smirk off your face and lets go.” Naruto didn’t even bother on closing the door and just left.
             “Come on lets go.”
              “Hai.” they walked out the door with small smiles plastered on their faces.
---------------
                 It was cold outside, they stood at the gates,  the six of them. They all looked back at the village they  all felt some weight lift off their shoulders ,but they yet didn’t know what was yet to come. The wind blew harshly, whispering soft warnings to their ears/
                    ‘For some reason It feels that I wont see this place again…’ Hinata said looking back to the horizon. Her grip tightened on her backpack. “Ok lets go.” and now they all took their first steps out of the village, not knowing what tragic fate lie ahead of them.
End  of Day 3
The ending of days Day:4
