Why have I started drabbles and sneak peeks?

Well, I figured, "why not? It might be fun." And so I started this. Just some drabbles/sneak peeks for my GB Naruto series :)

Enjoy!

…

Title: Hug

Characters: Nariko (femNaruto) Akane (femGaara) Yasu (femYashamaru) Tadao (boyTemari) Kyoko (femKankuro) Satomi (femSasuke) Seiji (boySakura)

Warnings: None

Pairings: None

Rating: K

Note: I got the idea after re-watching episode one of the anime and re-reading the chapter in the manga when Naruto knocks some sense into Gaara. I figured, well they're girls, a little less hard headed, more in touch with their emotions so to speak, and Naruto got a hug from Iruka and if anyone needs a hug it's Gaara!

Also, Yasu does not hate Akane as she has no reason to. If anything she comes to hate her brother (GBGaara's Mom) for treating Akane so horribly. Although she was distant when Akane was younger she truly cared for the shy little girl and was heartbroken when Akane shut them all out. As soon as she became her niece's and nephew's sensei, along with, Bao, GBBaki (that's right, two senseis, because I can) she tried to reach out to her, because with her father having less of an influence on her life small pieces of evidence suggested that the old Akane was reappearing so to speak, and Yasu did her best to encourage and care for all three of the siblings, treating them like a mother treats her children.

So there's the background. So now, please don't go "Why do they have an aunt with them?" or "But Yashamaru hates Gaara!" Okay?

And why is Seiji there when he's supposed to be knocked out? Because Satomi managed to wake him up and he insisted on coming with her to help Nariko.

I do not own Naruto but I own these genderbent versions. Steal them and die!

"Hey wait a second" said Nariko as Satomi helped her to her feet, a surprising look of concern on her face.

The Sand Family stopped, Akane stared at Nariko in something akin to fear, her aunt watched the blonde with a confused expression and the red head's siblings seemed suspicious.

Nariko stumbled over to Akane who looked more and more frightened with each step the taller girl took towards her. Was she going to hurt her again?

But, as always, Nariko was full of surprises.

As soon as she reached Akane, she didn't even hesitate before she reached out and hugged her tightly.

"Eh?" said Seiji in shock but Nariko, for once, wasn't listening to her crush. She was trying to analyse Akane's reaction. The smaller girl had stiffened as soon as Nariko touched her but now she was trembling as though she didn't understand what was going on. And Akane didn't. She hadn't been hugged since she was six years old.

Akane's mind had gone blank with shock and confusion, her eyes welling with tears. Someone was hugging her. The girl she had just tried to kill was hugging her. She had really meant it when she said she would help…

But Akane didn't know what to do. Was she supposed to do anything? How was she supposed to react to something like this?

And then, still trembling from head to toe, Akane hesitantly hugged Nariko back. Nariko silently cheered. She really had broken through to her! She blinked in surprise when she felt something damp landing on her shoulder and was startled when she realised Akane was crying. When was the last time someone hugged this girl? Her aunt had been hovering so much Nariko was certain she had hugged her. Obviously not. So Nariko did the only thing that made sense to her- she kept hugging Akane. As she said before Akane needed help and she was going to give it to her. Akane obviously realised she had meant it too because her shaky breaths turned into sobs, her tears falling faster than ever.

"Only Nariko would hug a girl who just tried to kill her!" Satomi thought smirking and shaking her head in a mixture of shock and fondness.

"Akane-sama…" Yasu thought staring at her niece in shock and over-whelming happiness. Maybe now things would improve. Kyoko looked just as happy as her aunt. "Thanks kid" she muttered staring at Nariko. Tadao simply folded his arms, a smirk on his face. Things were going to be different from now on, he could tell.

Seiji was still confused. Eventually he leaned against a tree, burying his face in his hands. "Just when I thought I had girls figured out, Nariko goes and hugs the girl who just tried to kill us!" his Inner groaned.

"It'll be okay, I told you I'd help and I meant it Akane, I don't break my promises" Nariko whispered to Akane, still keeping a firm grip on the smaller girl.

"R-right" Akane stammered, sobs shaking her body every now and then, "Thank you."

A/N: And that's that. I thought the idea was cute but I couldn't quite get the words out the way I wanted them. *shrugs* Aw well.

And…BAH! Kiosukatanna had the same idea as me! GOD DAMN IT! *pouts* Well I'm not redoing this or rethinking the idea just 'cause she had the same idea. I'm keeping this the way it is. *folds arms stubbornly*
