Chapter 11
"Alright, we're off!"
Temari hooked arms with the lazy Nara and the two took off down the steps at a lazy pace, with Temari yacking away happily and Shikamaru, looking content. Kankuro and Hinata waved them goodbye and shut the door.
"Well, I might as well leave too. If you're going to clean as an apology, you might want to do the whole house while you're at it." the older boy said, scratching his head.
'CLEAN?' Hinata thought, confused. 'Just the dishes...I thought-'
"T-the whole house?" Hinata asked timidly.
"Here. We'll pay you." Kankuro thrust some money out at her.
Hinata's eyes went wide.
"I couldn't possibly-"
"Take it. I'm leaving now. See you later. Look out for Gaara."
Without taking anymore protests from a very flustered Hinata, he set out of the house and slammed the door behind him. Hinata froze, the money still in her hand.
'I'm alone in the house...with Sabaku-san...' Hinata thought, making her way back into the messy kitchen.
Her blood began to run cold again as memories of the last time she had been in the house rushed back at her, full force.
'I'm still...afraid.' she thought, wearily, picking up a sponge.
Gaara.
The name still, and will always, chill her. She didn't know what to think about him anymore. After the last encounter with him...she was still so unsure how to act. He was still such a confusing person. Who was he? What did he mean to her?
Would she heal him?
Hinata absentmindedly scrubbed the creamy white china she was holding.
Such lazy circles...round and round and round...so calm...so lost and far away, dreaming of fire and emeralds...
She didn't even notice Gaara behind her, sitting in a chair, watching the gentle hand movements.
He sat very still, watching the far away look in the corner of her milky eyes. Then quietly, he went around until he was right behind her and shut off the sink.
Startled, she flew backwards into him, clutching the wet dish to her chest.
"You were wasting water." Gaara said, coldly.
It was funny how well she fit into his own frame...
"O-oh." was all she manage to stutter out.
She hastily backed up into him even more, oblivious to the embrace she was in. Her hands were shaking badly and Gaara uncertainly put his own ontop of hers. She shut her eyes tightly as she felt the dish slip from her grasp. She thought she heard it break as it hit the wood floor, but she wasn't sure.
Illusions...
Mind games...
She was once again trapt in Gaara's illusion. His warmth, he breath, his heartbeat...his everything. She buried the back of her head in his chest and he smirked. He wrapped his arms around her possessivly.
'Still mine.' he thought. 'She's still all mine...'
She still had that way of enchanting him...drawing him into her mystery. There was a quiet warning in the back of his mind, but he decided not to listen to it.
'Who cares? All I ever wanted...is here with me now...' he thought, as he played with her fingers, trying to make her do something. Anything...
Hinata was speechless. He was actually holding her. He was actually caressing her, playing with her...not destroying her, frightening her...
"Mine..." he whispered roughly in her ear.
She shivered as the word ran up her spine. That was all Gaara needed. He slowly worked a hand upward, to her smooth...perfect skin.
Finally...
Finally...he brought his lips to her neck...harsh kisses raining down. She stiffened and leaned back, hesitant. He smirked into one and left a sweet, red mark on the next. She was his...no one else's.
"All...mine..." he hissed and nipped her neck. No, he would never let her go.
Unable to contain herself, Hinata's eyes widened and a tiny gasp escape her unprepared lips. A hot mouth came crashing down on her's and she closed her eyes and let feeling upon wonderful feeling wash over her...
Intoxicated...
Gaara turned her around so she was facing him. She could feel him tracing her skin, his hands roaming wherever they pleased. She didn't mind. She forgot how to think...
Possession...
He came down once more in a more gentle kiss, once again captivating her, possessing her, making her his.
Desire...
She reached up, entwined her fingers in his fiery hair and it was her turn to kiss him. She never knew she had the ability to do this. She never knew such passion existed in her body. She felt him move down her neck, the top of her chest, back up to her face.
She shivered and bit her bottom lip. She was suprised at how gentle he was.
'Demons aren't...gentle...' she thought, pressing her small figure into his.
Gaara could feel the girl trembling in his arms. She was confused, frightened and...pleased? His arms found their way around her waist and he pulled her, if possible, closer to him.
All the pain in Hinata's mind...body...soul seemed to have numbed...She was now Gaara's captive.
He was so controlling...enrapturing her, a prisioner in her own mind.
Passion. Lust. Wants. Needs. Emotions. Desires.
"All mine...forever..."
Suddenly, there was a chill in his heart. The warning sign got bigger. Gaara released her, breathless. He looked at her, she stared back, completely dazed.
This was it. It was awakening again.
"Go." he said, kissing her forehead.
"W-why?" she asked, confused.
"Just...go." he kissed her cheek, unable to stop himself.
"Gaara..." she murmured and clung to him tightly.
"No...leave. Now. Before you get hurt again." he whispered and kissed the top of her head.
Before she could reply again, he recaptured her mouth, kissing her deeply, roughly, passionatly...His way of letting her know...she was still his.
"Now, go. Please."
Hinata stared, kissed his neck softly and reluctantly broke away. She sent unwanted shivers up his spine.
Chills...
Gaara vanished, his eyes slightly disturbed.
Hinata laid Kankuro's money on the counter. She didn't get much cleaning done, anyway. But...she would have to respect Gaara's wishes...
She left the house.
"All mine...forever..."
