Love�s Misconstruities

Synopsis:� Heavy on character profiling, this angsty
story focuses mainly on Gaara and Hinata, with some Shikamaru and Temari
involvement.� Gaara is starting to
understand what it is to love others, but has yet to have someone return the
feeling for him.� Naruto introduces
Hinata to him while Gaara is attending an important conference in Konoha and he
finds himself wanting to know the shy girl better.� Hinata is curious about the strong but silent
Suna shinobi�s interest in her and soon he is constantly in her thoughts.� Thus marks the beginning of a tumultuous few
years for the both of them, as members of the Hyuuga family, distance, and
misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart.�
As they both become young adults, will their love mature into something
more or will it all end in catastrophe?�
(Okay, I�m really horrible at writing these things, but I�d like to
think that the whole story is a bit more exciting than I just made it out to
be, so please just give it a try?� ^_^;;)

***If you don�t
care about the story and are only here for the adult content, please
refer to chapters 19 (Gaara x Hinata), 26 (Shikamaru x Temari),
and 27 (Gaara x Hinata).***

Author�s note:� This story starts off during the filler story
arc in the anime, about five months after the Sasuke/Naruto battle, and
continues from there through Shippuuden.�
Also, following the end of each chapter, I will try to define any terms
which may be confusing for all but the die-hard Japanese-version Naruto fans.

Disclaimers:� I do not own Naruto nor the characters
depicted within (except for the ones that I created...no Mary Sue, don�t worry).� They are owned by Kishimoto Masashi-san,
Shonen Jump, Viz, and whoever else that has a license.� I am just borrowing them for my own (and
hopefully your) amusement.� ^_^� Also, any
quotations I use from the anime are taken from Dattebayo fan subs and
quotations from the manga are from Shannaro! scanlations,
however I may have modified them a bit for fluency issues.

Warning:� This story, though mostly tame, does contain
some adult and graphic under-the-age-of-consent (U.S. standard) heterosexual scenes
of romance which are not to be viewed by anyone under the age of 18.� There are also some segments with minor
language so be forewarned if this bothers you.�
If not, please continue.� ^_^�

Spoilers:� As I said, this story takes place starting
during the filler story arc and continues through events in Shippuuden,
including manga material which has yet to be animated.� I will post spoilers for each chapter if
there are any.� If you are only familiar
with the English dub of Naruto, then this whole story will be filled with
spoilers, so be forewarned.

Special thanks:� ^_^� Thanks to my wonderful girlfriend for
helping me think more like Shikamaru, for being patient with me while I worked
on this, and listening to me go on and on about this story when I�m sure she
had better things to do; to Faerys Delight (my beta reader), Allys, and Birddi for
all their time, aid, and patience; and special thanks to you, the reader, for
giving my work a try.� It�s not often
that I actually complete a story, especially something as long as this.� I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did
writing.

Dedication:� To Birddi...just �cuz.� ^_~

Author�s note #2:� If you find any spelling, grammatical,
timeline, or other mistakes in your reading, please feel free to contact me and
let me know.� Reviews are also nice, and
I welcome both compliments and constructive criticism.� Please don�t hesitate to e-mail me at idleflame@sbcglobal.net
with any of the aforementioned.

Author�s note #3:� �* * *� either denotes a gap in time between
what is before it and what is after, or switching scenes.� Italicized text between the � � are thoughts and the bold italicized text between the *
* are Shukaku speaking to Gaara in his mind.�
...Okay.� I hope that cuts down on
any possible confusion.� Now, (finally)
onto the story!

Epilogue

�� Heh.� I can hardly
believe it,� Kankurou whispered with a smirk, placing a hand on his brother�s
shoulder who stood with his arms folded across his
chest.� �Those are yours.�� Gaara merely nodded, his attention focused
intently on the two small babies sleeping soundly in the cribs before him.� �Is Hinata still resting?�� Gaara gave another small nod.� �Have you decided on names yet?��

�� Not yet.�

�� Well,
you�ve got a boy and a girl so you and Hinata can both chose one, right?�

�� I
suppose,� Gaara simply replied.� Though
this was one of the most joyful days of his life, he wore a small frown. �This did not go unnoticed by his older
brother.

�� You�re
supposed to be happy right now, you know?�
What�s wrong?��

�� Gaara
turned his head slightly, eyeing the taller boy next to him.� After a moment he sighed then walked next to
his son�s crib, his arms still adamantly folded across his chest.� If he wanted to reach down and touch the
small baby before him, he seemed either unwilling or unsure of himself to do
so.� Instead he just stared, taking in
the reality of it all.�

�� Gaara?� Kankurou prompted.

�� This one
has the Byakugan,� he stated.�

�� ...Oh,�
came Kankurou�s short reply, but that one word held worlds of understanding
about the consequences of Gaara�s news.� �But not the girl?��
Gaara shook his head.� �Shit.� What are you gonna do?��

�� Gaara
sighed once again.� �Wait until Hinata
wakes up.�

�� She
doesn�t know?�

�Not yet.�

Stepping next to his younger
brother, Kankurou again placed his hand on the shorter boy�s shoulder and gave
it a squeeze.� �You�ll figure something
out.� Everything�ll be fine and you�ll
feel stupid for worrying about it so much.�
Heh.�
You�ll see.�

�� While Gaara
hoped that those words held truth, he very much doubted it.� He slowly uncrossed his arms and hesitantly
reached down, placing his hand on his son�s small bald head.� It was surprisingly warmer than he�d thought
it would be.� He gently stroked his
forehead, but as the baby awoke and began to cry, he pulled his hand away and
stepped back.� Kankurou couldn�t help but
laugh.�

�� What�s so
funny?� Gaara growled.� Now his daughter was
awake and had joined her twin brother in his noisy song.�

�� You didn�t
hurt him.� Babies just cry.� A LOT.� Heh.� Get used to it,� he informed, picking up his
nephew and cradling him.� �Go on,� he
urged, motioning to his niece.� Reluctantly,
Gaara followed his lead and lifted his daughter from her crib as if she were
the most fragile thing in the world.�
Observing his big brother and following suit, the two were able to
successfully lull the little ones back to sleep.�

�� See?� You�ll be fine,� Kankurou reassured.

�� Maybe I will...but what about him?� the
new father contemplated as he watched Kankurou place his son back in the
crib.�

�� He
continued to hold his daughter, savoring the feel of her in his arms as she
slept.� Who could have predicted a few
years ago that he, Sabaku no Gaara, feared throughout the continent, would be
where he was now.� If someone would have
shown him a picture of his future self holding a baby, his baby, several years before...he would have scoffed at it in disbelief,
perhaps even killing whoever showed him the picture to begin with.� He wouldn�t have believed it.� But now he couldn�t imagine his life being
anything but this.� How was it that he�d
made this transition from the monster that he was who cared about nothing but
himself, into a loving father who wouldn�t hesitate to give up his life for his
precious children?
