Desert Tears:

Chapter 1

The Jutsu

A cool breeze blew as Hinata Hyuuga beat the training post. Her touch sent sparks of chakra fizzing through the air. Gaara watched from a distance. Why is it every time he saw her he felt…Happy? That emotion should only be paired with the joy of killing something, but every time he even thought of killing her he felt horrible and angry at himself for thinking of it.

He jumped down from the tree he had been hidden on and walked to the hotel he and his siblings were currently staying at. He entered aware of the stares he received everyone in the lobby. They feared him and he knew it. He could tell by how they cringed when he walked past or how they would start to run when he would raise a hand to grab something.

Sunagakure had attacked Konohagakure a while a go along side the village of sound. It was no wonder they were still frightened, but more than that everyone knew that Gaara was a monster. He walked into his room and lied down on the bed. No one trusted him except his siblings but even they were cautious toward him. He had grown closer to them since the attack. Then there was that one girl…Hinata Hyuuga. There was something strange about her. He felt happy when he was around her and he actually wanted to see her more and more so much that he started following her around. He would dream about her…sometimes. During the Chuunin exams when everyone thought she had died Gaara had felt a hot tear roll down his cheek and desperately wanted to be matched up with Neji so he could torture him for what he did to her.

He never told Temari or Kankuro about these odd feelings toward the Hyuuga girl. He knew that Kankuro would say Gaara was growing weak…but what would his sister say? He was sure Hinata was using a Jutsu on him; he just didn't know which one. He decided to ask Temari. He was always closer to her than he was his brother.

He got off the bed and walked into his sister's room. She was putting on make-up.

“Temari” it was more of a command than a greeting.

“Yes Gaara?” Temari answered without turning around.

“Someone is constantly using a Jutsu on me I just don't know what kind.” Said Gaara

That got Temari's attention quick.

“Oh my gosh! Gaara are you okay? did they hurt you? can you feel your arms

? are you feeling light-headed? MY POOR BROTHER!!!” she said frantically feeling Gaara's head “ You do feel warm! I'll get you back to Sunagakure quick! I should have known Konohagakure wasn't to be trusted!”

“Temari” it came out rougher than he meant it to.

“Yes” she stopped.

“I feel fine on the outside it's just the inside that feels weird.” Said Gaara flatly.

“Explain it to me.”

Gaara drew a breath “ there is this girl…and…whenever I'm around her I feel weird…when I look at her I get this wonderful feeling…I've found myself drawn to her…I”

Gaara stopped. Temari was trying to hold back a flow of giggles.

“what so funny?”

“never mind” Temari managed to choke out. “who is this……girl”

“Hinata Hyuuga” Gaara said questioningly.

“NO WAY! YOU LOVE THE HYUUGA GIRL!!!” Yelled Temari who then burst out laughing.

Kankuro ran into the room.

“Gaara loves a girl!!!” he yelled.

“Yeah it's Hinata!” Temari said her face turning blue from the lack of breath as she laughed some more.

“No way! Then again she is cute” said Kankuro

“STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!” Gaara found himself yelling.

CRASH!!!!

All three siblings turned to find a pot of water smashed on the ground and standing there shaking was none other than Hinata Hyuuga.

“S-S-Sorry I'll p-p-pick it up-p-p” she said stumbling over her words.

Gaara was stunned. How much had she heard? Either way he kept his emotion-less mask on.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/Hinata's POV/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

I walked up to the door. Yep, this was number 203 where the three siblings from Sunagakure were staying. I knocked. I was supposed to bring them fresh water. No I'm not a waitress here! My dad said to ask them if they needed help. so here I am now. No one answered from inside I heard a stifled laughter. Maybe they couldn't hear me. I opened the door and went up to a room where I heard laughter. The boy named Kankuro had just entered. I could have sworn I heard my voice mentioned but I must have been imagining things. I went up to the door way and was about to say something until Kankuro had said “Gaara loves a girl!!!” I paused I knew I shouldn't be listening but I couldn't help it.

“Yeah it's Hinata” said His Sister.

I turned pale. What did she just say? I must have been mistaken. Except I knew I wasn't. I had heard clearly. Gaara loves me.

“No way! Then again she is cute” said Kankuro

I looked up. I had to say something but I couldn't make my voice work.

“STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!” Gaara yelled.

He was acting so possessive. It scared me. I felt the pot slipping from my hands. I tried to grab it but my hands wouldn't move.

Crash!!!

I almost fainted. They all looked at me. I couldn't move. I wanted to grab the remains of the pot and run but I forced my self to try to remain calm. It didn't work.

“S-S-Sorry I'll p-p-pick it up-p-p” I found myself stuttering.

I bent over to pick it up. Gaara looked so calm. Why? Wouldn't he be angry or scared that I found out his secret?

“No I got it.” Gaara said in his commanding voice.

Sand swept up the broken pot and soaked up the water.

“T-T-Thank y-y-you” I found myself stuttering again. What should I do?

One thought flashed through my head.

RUN!

I bolted.
