Everyone was awake.

Gaara was quarantined to his room, no one was allowed in without permission from the head doctor.

Sasuke was awake, boredly laying in his hospital bed while Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, Temari and kankuro all discussed what would happen to Gaara and what was the best course of action.

Hinata was sat in her bed, listening to the others conversation through the walls. Kurenai by her side, Shiro was too. So were the other Sensei's. They were also discussing what was happening. Everyone had left Shiro and Gaara alone to recover.

Shiro sat up and sighed. She wanted to go see Gaara. To say that everything was okay. To be able to say that it was her fault, that she never should of jumped on him like that, she should of came Over to him calmly. Hearing people walk passed and shout she looked to the door confused, what was all the commotion?

Staying silent she watched the door, people running passed, shouting orders, there was an emergency. She knew there was. There had to be. The doctors wouldn't be going crazy is there wasn't. Sighing softly as the commotion came to a stop, Shiro laid down again and gazed outside the window, she wanted to leave,  her wounds weren't healed enough to go. Her arm still needed time to set before she went out and moved, let along went on missions with it.

Hearing a soft knock at the door Shiro turned slightly to the door, seeing there a figure there. She waited a moment before saying you can come in,

It was someone she didn't expect.

There infront of her stood the redhead, he had more then the usual darkness under his eyes. He looked tired and worn out. Like he had been crying for a little bit now. Looking over him she frowned. Sitting up she turned to him.

He watched her nervously.. He didn't know why he was nervous, he knew he hurt her. And he felt horrible for it. Why did he feel this way.. He normally wouldn't have any remorse for those who he tried to kill...

He looked over her sling and  the large a,punt of bandages wrapped around the wounds, the steady beep of the heart monitor. It almost scared him to know that the girl was going through so much.

Shiro stared at him, he was perfectly fine beside the obvious no sleep and red eyes. She wanted to talk to him. There he was right in front of her. The first thing that came to mind:

"Are you alright Gaara-Kun?" She asked, worry in her eyes. He stared at her. Nodding slightly, she stayed silent for a moment before smiling at him softly, it made his cheeks feel warm. "I'm glad your okay, I know it wasn't your fault that this all happened" she said, gesturing to the whole of the room. "I was scared.." She whispered. "That you'd left without saying bye.."

Gaara walked closer to her, his eyes watering again, why was it happening?! He didn't understand anything that was happening to him when he was around her. Why did it feel like his heart hurt when he saw her like this. Why was the pain there? He wasn't injured there at all. He felt like he was dying, the pain was unbearable when he looked over her wounds.

Why has he attached himself so much to this girl?

Gaara kept moving closer, until he was right in front of him, looking into her eyes she smiled up at him.
"I know you didn't mean what you did Gaara" she said softly, reaching a hand up and taking hold of his gently, he stared at her, a little taken aback. Hesitating he slowly gripped her hand back. She couldn't help but smile up at him.  "I know that you can't control that thing inside you..." He was staring at her now, she didn't understand what he went through.

"You don't get treated like a monster.." Shiro frowned at him.
"I do... People don't like me" she mumbled "they always bullied me and Naruto, always made me feel like Rubbish... Even my teammate's don't like me.."

Gaara gripped her hand a little tighter, still not understanding what he was doing, he was copying her. He was about to speak when kankuro barged in and gasped. Shiro eyed the ninja before tugging Gaara forward and hugging him tightly, head against his shoulder as he tried to balance himself and not crush her. Gaara fumbled around trying to not fall in her, his sand keeping him balanced.
"Gaara.. What are you doing here?" Kankuro asked. Annoyed, and hurt?  "I'm going to have to ask you to leave Gaara, the hokage and her parents won't like it if your in here with her alone" Gaara glared back at kankuro as he moved to the side, sitting beside Shiro as she hugged him tightly, arms locked around his neck as she snuggled into him, keeping him with her.
"..please don't go.." She whispered. Almost crying, she knew what would happen if he was caught walking around, he'd be told to leave her alone and go back to the village once the exams were finished, and not come back for a while. Shiro didn't want him to leave.

Gaara stared down at the girl before letting go and sighing. He didn't return the hug. He wanted to do something else.. But he didn't know what. Kankuro came in and grabbed hold of gaara's arm, though it was extremely dangerous kankuro  yanked his younger brother away from Shiro and sighed sadly
"Sorry Gaara, but I need you to come if you don't want to get caught here" Kankuro explained my pulling Gaara out of the room and watching for nurses or any of Shiro's family members.

Shiro smiled at him and waved as he left, a spark of happiness flickered in his eyes as he lifted his hand with a slight wave back before turning his back to her and moving through the hospital and probably back to his room. Shiro smiled, laying down on her bed.. She got to see him! And he was okay!

Gaara sat down on his bed, kankuro left to go get the head doctor again to check over his brothers wounds, Gaara was in deep thought about his situation..

What was something he could do other then hug her?
He didn't what else to do besides that. He was stumped..

What else could he do?
