AN:Sorry guys it's not another chapter I just needed to fix some things I didn't see before.

Helloo! I hope you enjoy!

(Means flashback or memory)

(Means thoughts)

Why was I late, again? I can't even remember at this point. All I remember is having an argument with Temari and Kankuro last night, and even this morning. Over the dumbest thing ever. All I had done was gone to the Hyuuga's home to tell her that I was going to be late. I just didn't feel like dealing with all those idiots so early in the morning. But Temari had the audacity to follow me. They just don't know when to shut up and leave things alone, especially if it's not their damn business.
"Stay away from the Hyuugas, Gaara. All they do is cause pain and suffering. And YOU should know better than anyone just what they're capable of." I held my head in pain. I had to shake it violently to push Temari's words out. Did she really think I actually blamed the heiress for everything that happened? That's just bullshit. I was there. I know what happened, and know exactly who caused it. Whatever. I really don't want to remember all of that right now. I pulled out my phone to check the time. 11:53. 3rd period is about to end. 'I'll make it in time for lunch. I'll just have to find Hinata…' I continued on towards Konoha High School. But I had to stop for a moment to think about what I had just said, or thought. 'Did I just call her Hinata? Since when do I call anyone by their first names, aside from Temari and Kankuro?' I closed my eyes and continued walking. 'What is this girl doing to me?'

By the time I had gotten to school, lunch was already starting. I decided to walk through the courtyard, assuming I'd find her there. I know I could just ditch her and be alone, it would be easier. But, I somehow feel at ease when she's around. Yes, her fidgets and stutters are annoying and tiresome. But, she's the only person that I can be around without wanting to kill her. I was broken from my thoughts when I can catch blue and violet hair from the corner of my eye. I begin to walk over towards her, hesitating because I can see she's with her friends, the blonde and the pink haired one. 'How annoying.' When I was within ear range, I heard a deeper voice from a person I hadn't seen before.
"-no one likes that piece of shit." I didn't need to hear a name to know that I was the 'piece of shit'. Wow, the Uchiha insulting me when I'm not even there. That's pathetic and cowardly. I was just about to step in with my own insults for the Uchiha, but I was stopped when I heard her voice.

"Uchiha-san! I w-will not allow you to in-sult Gaara in my pr-presence!" My eyes widened for a fraction of a second. 'She actually defended me? Why?' I decided it was time to make myself known.

"Wow, Uchiha. Talking shit about me when I'm not even here to defend myself. How low could you get. No wonder you're such a little bitch." I could see his eyes flashing red. Tch. As if he of all people could intimidate me. I held his glare, and gave him a cold stare of my own.

"G-Gaara." I broke eye contact with the useless male in front of me to look down and meet lilac eyes. She had a smile placed on her plump lips. I noticed how they glistened in the light, as if they were glossy. 'They look… soft…But, why is there a cut on her lip?' I was brought out of my unusual thoughts when I began to notice a small bandage on her left cheek. I slightly squinted to try to see clearer. 'She looks paler than she normally does. What happened?' I heard the two girls whispering, causing me to look away from the Hyuuga heiress.

"Is that him?" the one with pink hair asked. I internally scoffed. It seemed she didn't even try to be quiet about it.

"Duh, he's the only one with red hair." the blonde responded, rolling her eyes. They were annoying. I looked back at the Hyuuga, noticing her cheeks become a darker shade of red, stuttering like crazy.

"P-p-please, Ino-chan, S-Sakura-chan, h-e's ri-"

"Hinata, let's go." I decided to interrupt. I didn't want to be around anyone at the moment.

"Oh, wh-where to?" she looked up at me with her lilac, pupiless eyes. I felt as if she was staring right through me. It was causing my head to throb, and I had to keep myself from grabbing it and falling to my knees from the pain. I had to look away.

"Tsunade wanted to see us. Apparently, she says it's urgent."

"H-hai. I'll s-ee you guys l-later." I watched how she quickly gathered her things and stuffed them into her bag. I don't know what came over me, but I held my hand out to her, offering to help her up. By her expression, she was stunned, and hesitated for a second. I almost retracted my hand until I felt a soft, warm hand grab onto mine. I held her hand tightly and began to pull her to her feet. I could feel a deathly glare aimed right at me. I knew it was from the Uchiha. 'What the hell is his problem? She doesn't belong to him. She's not his property.' I decided to test just how jealous this piece of shit really was. I intentionally pulled harder while pulling Hinata up. This caused her to lose her balance, and begin to fall forward. I immediately caught her, but her face fell into my chest. I didn't have to look down at her to know just how deeply she was blushing, I could already feel the heat she radiated. I made complete eye contact with the Uchiha, and I noticed how his eye twitched. His body stiffened, and he clenched his jaw. I allowed myself one smirk for him to clearly see. I looked back down at the blue haired girl. I grabbed her shoulders, pushing her back onto her feet. She began fidgeting like never before, not even able to look at me before speaking,

"G-g-gomen-asi, G-Gaara! I.. I did-"

"It's ok, forget about it. Let's just go, before the drunk gets angry." I passively said. I allowed her to begin walking in front of me before following her.

Once we were inside the school, I stopped the Hyuuga before she could continue on.

"Hyuuga, let's go to the roof." The heiress was startled. She looked at me with semi-wide eyes and brows raised.

"B-but, I thought Ts-Tsunade-sama-" I put my hand up to cut her off.

"I lied. I just didn't want to be around people." I shrugged, then I began to walk in the direction of the stairs to the roof. I only stopped when I didn't hear soft footsteps behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see that she had not moved.

"Are you coming, Hinata." It should've been a question, but I made it sound like a demand. She lightly shook her head before whispering a 'hai'. I led us to the roof, deciding to take the same spot as yesterday to sit. I closed my eyes and began to think to myself. I felt her sit next to me. I opened one eye to look at her. The heiress looked down, fidgeting with her fingers as usual. I couldn't help but stare at the cut on her lip, and was about to ask what had caused that, but she had spoke before me.

"A-ano, Gaara. I-I was wond-ering…"

"What is it?" I raised my non existent brow in curiosity.

"Well, l-last night, some-one came to m-my house, s-saying they wou-ld be late. W-was that y-you?" I could see her cheeks become tinted with color.

"Yes, that was me."I shrugged. I noticed how she opened her mouth to say something else, but nothing came out. Only a small 'oh' I pulled out my phone. Two missed calls from Kankuro, five missed calls from Temari, almost ten messages from both of them, and even a message from Baki. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I looked at the time, 12:36. I decided it was my turn to ask something.

"What happened?" she snapped her head towards me, eyes wide.

"Wh-what do y-" I stopped her by just pointing at the bandage. The Hyuuga princess just looked down in shame, before looking up at me with a smile.

"Oh, th-is? I was o-out with my s-sister and I fell into s-some bushes. I'm v-very clumsy." she gave off a small giggle, but it sounded so fake. I squinted, just staring at her. I was very tempted to call her out on her lie, but I heard a phone go off. It was her's. The violette haired girl began to search her bag for her phone. She answered it, looking away.

"H-Hanabi?" she seemed confused by who was calling her. From the name, I could tell it was a girl.

"Wh-at? No. If f-f-...father finds out, h-he will be f-furious." 'Father? So it's her sister.'

"Alright. Pl-please, be safe. A-and don't worry ab-out Neji-nii. I will s-speak to him. H-hai. I love you t-too." The Hyuuga put away her phone and sighed. I don't know what came over me, but I felt the need to pry.

"Family issues?" I noticed how she visibly stiffened before relaxing again.

"N-no. My younger si-ster skipped cl-ass to go out wi-with her friends." she shook her head. 'I didn't remember her having a younger sibling.'

"..YOU should know better than anyone just what they're capable of."

"Mother! No!" I began to hold my head in pain. All these memories just started flashing in my head. I felt Hinata come closer.
"G-Gaara? What's wr-ong?" I felt her put her hand on my arm, and almost immediately pull away.

"I'm going t-o go get th-the nurse. J-just stay right h-ere." I could feel her get ready to stand, but before she could, I grabbed onto her arm, keeping her by me. The Hyuuga heiress just stared into my eyes with her worried lilac ones.

"No. Just stay here. Please." I continued to hold her arm, but she didn't pull away. If anything, I think she sat closer to me. I noticed her raise her free hand to my head, hesitant to touch. I closed my eyes, expecting her to just pull away. I was wrong. I felt place her hand gently on my tattoo.

"I-It will be o-k, Gaara. I'm here i-if you need a-anything." she spoke softly. I sighed, nodding. I could feel the pain begin to fade. I took in the violette haired girl's features. Her brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes almost sad, but filled with slight panic. Her lips, still plump, were almost downturned, further accentuating her worry. My eyes trailed back up to meet hers when she began to speak.

"Are you o-ok, Gaara?" I let go of my head, nodding, and giving a ghost of a smile.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you...hime." I whispered the last part as quietly as I could. It didn't seem as if she had heard. I stood up, giving her my hand. She took it once again, and I pulled her up. I noticed a small smile placed on her lips. It's almost as if she began glowing. And Kami, was she beautiful.

What did you guys think? I feel as if Gaara is a little ooc, but I'm trying to reference the Gaara post shippuden. How he's more kinda open with people. Here, he still is very dangerous and all that stuff, but he's more kind hearted. But yea, I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
