Hinata's hands were shaking. One of them was clenched into a fist. It was the one that she had raised in Rasa's direction.
Her breathing was fast and her whole body was covered in sweat.
"What happened?" the former Hyuga whispered in horror at the look of the left overs of the Kazekage.
Gaara coughed and tried to get to his feet. Hinata turned and helped him getting up. His hands wrapped around her wrists for support.
"How did you do that?" he asked again, his voice was still really raspy.
Hinata shivered and shook her head.
"I don't know..." she whispered and put her arm around Gaara's back to help him walk.
"We should get you to the hospital"
"Hinata... We can't. We have to leave... Now" the redhead whispered.
"No! You should get treated!! We can't leave just now! I... I will... Clean that up... I..."
"What for?" Gaara looked at her pleadingly. She wasn't sure if she interpreted his behavior right, but he seemed scared. She just didn't know of what exactly.
"It will give us time! Or... Me! I killed him. Not you! You should heal and I... I don't know..." Hinata was shaking, her head ached and her legs felt weak. She had killed the Kazekage. She would be dead in less than a week.
"They will figure out how he died. And the only person they know, who can do what you just did, is me." Gaara looked at her with serious eyes. Hers were filled with tears. Seeing her like this, hurt him. She had protected him from his father. And now it was on him to protect her. He would never leave her. Not now, not ever. He had to be strong for her, he had to get her out of here.
Hinata sank to her knees, crying. She had never killed someone before. She had never ever wanted to have to do such a thing. Although she was a Kunoichi, she was sure there would always be another way.
Not this time, it seemed.
"Hinata" Gaara kneeled as well and moaned from pain as he spoke.
"We have to leave!" with fast hands he pushed her body against his, wrapped his arms around her, his one hand running through her hair to comfort her.
His deep voice and the body contact calmed her. He was so warm as his muscular arms wrapped around her safely, his fingers combing her hair. Her breathing became normal slowly at his touch.
"Trust me" he whispered in her ear. He felt her nodding at his chest.
"Hold on to me tight"
Hinata obeyed and pressed her eyes closed. She wasn't sure what Gaara was about to do. But she did trust him. A strange feeling rushed through her body, weird noises in her head, and when she opened her eyes again and withdrew from his hug, she saw them standing in the middle of the desert.
"Let's go" Gaara whispered. Hinata nodded again, closed her hand around his, a small blush flushing over his face, and started running just like he did.
She was worried about Gaara. His breathing sounded hurtful, his eyes were still bloodstained and the imprint of Rasa's fingers got more visible with time going by.
But they kept running. They had no other choice. They had to get as much space between themselves and Suna as possible.
Hinata's feet and legs were hurting. She had no idea how Gaara did that. He was hurt, still he kept running.
She got slower, breathing really hard. When Gaara noticed he turned around.
"Are you alright?" his voice was husky and his breathing fast.
"Yeah, don't worry. I'm just tired" Hinata assured him and squeezed his hand.
"Just hold on a little longer, we're going to find a place to rest and sleep" Gaara stroke his thumb over her hand.
Hinata nodded and fastened her pace again. It was cold and dark and she had no idea where they were. But...
With Gaara at her side she felt safe.
A knock on his door made Kankuro jump in his bed.
"Kankuro?" Temari’s voice got through to him.
He stood up, sighing, and opened the door to look into his sisters worried face.
"What's wrong?" he asked and rubbed his tired eyes. Temari shifted from one foot to the other. Seeing his older sister like that made him extremely nervous.
She stepped into his room and closed the door behind her. Her eyes scanned through his room and got stuck at his bed.
"Who's that???" Temari whisper screamed and pointed to Kankuros bed shocked.
Kankuro gave her a crooked smile and chuckled silently.
"That's Matsuri. I don't know why she came. But well... I didn't tell her to go so..." Kankuro scratched the back of his head and blushed.
"I don't wanna know!!!" Temari snapped at him and turned her eyes away from the naked girl in bed.
"Anyway!" she shivered and shook her head. Her eyes got into their worried expression again.
"Gaara and Hinata... They're gone"
"What do you mean, they're gone?" Kankuro's eyebrows were furrowed. While he looked at his sister unbelievably, he put his clothes back on.
"I mean, they are gone! I can't feel their chakras anymore!"
"Something bad happened" Kankuro stated and Temari nodded slowly.
"I think so... We should cover their backs!" this time Kankuro nodded and left his room with Temari.
After two more hours Gaara finally got slower. They had made it deep into a forest. Through the darkness Hinata could still see that it was the forest they would cross to get to Konoha.
Gaara jumped onto a huge tree. One of its branches was strong and big enough to give both of them enough space. They sat next to each other and tried to calm their breaths.
It was silent. Just a light breeze made the leaves rustle gently.
After some minutes Hinata's head started to turn as she realized what had happened. She felt sick.
"I-I killed the K-kazekage..." she whispered panicking and her breathing became faster again.
Gaara looked at her, his non-existent eyebrows knitted.
"I... Smashed his body. There was not much left of him! What did I do?" her voice became louder with every word.
"Hinata, you have to stay silent!" he snapped at her.
But Hinata didn't hear him.
The horror in her eyes was so clear to see, even in the dark, that Gaara feared she would hyperventilate any second.
"I killed him! I killed him! I'm a monster! I killed him!!!" the black haired woman now almost screamed.
She shook her head violently when Gaara told her to calm down. Her body was rocking back and forth, her eyes wide open, her lips slightly parted. Her skin was paler than ever.
"I KILLED HIM!"
Gaara didn't know what he should do. And the first thing that came into his mind seemed stupid. Yet he still did it.
He laid his hands on her cheeks and pressed his lips onto hers.
Her stiff body was shaking at first, but as he didn't withdrew and kept his kiss going, he felt her body getting looser and more relaxed.
Minutes passed until he finally pulled away again. He kept his hands on her cheeks. His eyes locking with hers in a serious manner.
"Hinata. I won't leave you. You protected me. You saved me. Now it's my turn to protect you. I..." he began to stutter and blushed.
"I won't leave, alright?" Gaara assured her in his husky voice. He started coughing again but tried to manage a smile.
Hinata nodded slowly while tears filled her eyes.
"Gaara..." she sobbed and kissed him again. Her soft lips made Gaara forget where they were. His heart got warm at her touch, his head blurry and his legs shaky.
It was a gentle kiss, her way to say thank you, and he savored it as much as he could.
When she withdrew he felt disappointed.
"I should heal you, Gaara. Your throat is really damaged" she whispered near his mouth and let her hands carefully travel down to his neck. Bruises covered it almost completely. Gently she laid her hands down his neck and concentrated her chakra.
A few minutes after he felt his sore throat getting better, breathing became easier and the pain decreased slowly. Gaara watched Hinata as she healed him. She was paler than normal, her eyes squinted in concentration, her eyebrows knitted.
Hinata looked stunning, her hair was waving gently. Looking at her he felt himself blushing. Automatically his hand rose to gently grab a strand of her hair, letting his hands run through it.
Hinata slightly jumped at Gaara's sudden touch.
She found his eyes and blushed.
"Gaara... I... I wanted to tell you something..." she stuttered shyly, but kept locking her eyes with his aquamarine orbs.
Gaara felt his heart racing really fast all of a sudden. What would she tell him? Her voice seemed so serious, yet nervous.
Hinata got even redder on her cheeks and sighed deeply.
"I wanted to tell you that... I.. I'm done." a long breath escaped her lips as if she had hold it for a longer time.
"I-is it better now?"
Gaara nodded mechanically. A little disappointed he looked away from her. He wasn't sure what he had wanted to hear from her. But he hadn't expected to hear that.
"Alright" Hinata whispered an slowly withdrew her hands from Gaara's neck, her lips though brushed his cheek softly.
"Good Night, Gaara" she said and laid down on the branch, her head resting in Gaara's lap.
Gaara blushed again and looked down at her face, near his groins, her eyes closed, her body slowly rising up and down with her relaxed breathing.
He put a strand of hair behind her ear, a tiny smile appeared on his lips.
"Good Night, Hinata..."
The words he really wanted to tell her didn't leave his mouth. It was like they were cursed... And he sighed deeply before he leaned his head back against the tree and closed his eyes.
