Welcome to… This story. It's about using the anime fandom to win over the love of your face. Love, hate, anime, manga… all of which do not belong to me. Well, hate and love… I do own… (I know I'm not making sense! Lay off you nonexistent naggers! Gosh!) Alright. So basically, this is a DeiHinaGaara fanfiction.
…I know what you're saying: "TheWindAlchemist! What the hell are you thinking!?" Well, I was thinking, "Hey, the likeness of anime has been in some of my stories for quite a long time. I know, maybe I'll make a story focused completely on the obsession of anime and manga! Awesome! It can have Gaara in it too! Hooray!" Due to the fact that all my stories have Hinata and the Akatsuki involved in them, it's only natural…
Yes, there are better titles. No, I don't own any of the things mentioned in this story. Yes, I've completely gone out of my mind. No, I'll take the hamburger with the fries instead.
So yeah. The only thing I own here is the words…
Ah, I forgot something. OMGZ HINATA ANDZ GAARA IS BESTEST FRNDS!! THEY R OBSESSED W/ANIME AND MANGA AND VIDEO GAMES AND STUFFS LIEK THT!! Yeah. (Oh my god(z) Hinata and Gaara are best friends and are obsessed with anime and manga and video games and stuff like that. Yeah.)
Obsession
Hinata stared blankly at the board as the teacher explained how life was hard for the pioneers and how Lewis and Clark met Sacagawea and how pioneers and Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea were closely related and…
Bah, whatever. You'd think they'd be teaching about Japanese history, but she wasn't even paying attention. The subject she was in right now was History, if you haven't noticed her totally bored and uninterested attitude in class. Due to… alleged happenings around class and school, every class was to have assigned seating. Luckily for Hinata, though, she got a seat next to her best friend, Gaara. She looked down at her notebook and started doodling around her notes.
Gaara noticed this and leaned forward, watching the artist at work. He let out a small sign of laughter when he saw that it was a doodle of Deidara throwing random clay birds at Tobi (who was on the other side of the paper) for doing something incredibly stupid. It was a running joke of theirs that Deidara was always annoyed with Tobi for doing something bad or dumb. Hinata smiled contentedly at her creation, writing in the lower right corner a caption that read 'Deidara and Tobi' and the date.
Hinata never got caught doodling. The teacher was too wrapped up in the lesson to care who was listening or not. Odd were that one of the students were listening, and that was the only fact that kept teachers going. Hinata tore out a blank piece of paper and folded it in half, drawing some kind of group picture. She slid it over to Gaara's desk, silently asking him to do whatever the hell he wanted to do with it. Grinning, Gaara took out a pen, drawing swift French moustaches on all the characters.
When Hinata got it back, she was slightly pissed at what he did. On the back, she wrote, WTH DID U DO THAT? Gaara only responded with an lol :D Hinata held back a laugh.
After class, Gaara and Hinata walked to their lockers, laughing. "Hey, can I keep this?" he asked, looking over the drawing as he walked. "Whatever. I don't really care what you do with it as long as-" she was cut off when Gaara said, "This is going on deviantART!" Hinata reached for the picture, but Gaara stuffed it in his pocket. "No fair! You know that I hate my drawings to be posted on the internet!" Gaara only grinned. "Then why do you have 15 of your drawings on the site, huh?" he walked quickly to his locker.
"Don't follow me!" he said. "I can't help it! We share the same locker!" Hinata huffed. "I call getting my stuff first!" he called. "Not again!" the two laughed. Gaara quickly opened their locker, brushing away a few anime pictures from atop one of the textbooks. They were mostly pictures of the Akatsuki, an evil organization in the anime Naruto. Hinata and Gaara practically worshipped them (in their own fangirl/boy way).
"Did you read the new chapter of Naruto?" Hinata asked. "I can't believe Sauce-Gay actually won! God, I hate him!" Gaara said, slamming their locker door closed. Hinata nodded. "I hate the new Evil Tobi! I miss the fun-loving idiot that was fun to draw T.T …" she complained. "Hey, you think its okay to bring my iPod to study hall?" Gaara asked, fingering the iPod in his pocket. Hinata shrugged. "I'm bringing mine anyway." Gaara nudged her in the arm. "You're always breaking the rules!" he said.
They quietly walked into the Study Hall room so that they wouldn't disturb the others. The teacher gave them a quiet 'Hi' and continued to read his book. Gaara and Hinata smiled as they made their way to the back of the room and sat down. Immediately they took out their iPods and manga for the day.
Hinata brought .hack/GU+ and Gaara brought D.N.Angel volume 11. "Oh my god! .hack/GU+ is out?" Gaara asked excitedly (and quietly), taking the book out of Hinata's hands. "Hey, give that back!" Hinata hissed at him. "Can I read it pleeease?" he asked, smiling at her. Hinata sighed. "Fine. I'll just draw." She took out her sketch book and a pencil.
"Oh hey, you still haven't drawn me yet." Gaara said. Letting out a low growl, Hinata scribbled something and then showed it to Gaara. "I don't look like that." He said. "Yes you do. See, I got the stupid red hair and stupid dark eyes." Hinata mocked, erasing the drawing. "Come on! Please draw me! And make me look awesome!" Hinata sighed. "Alright, alright…"
Gaara grinned. "Hey, can you come over today?" he asked. Hinata shrugged. "I'll text my dad and ask him." Hinata took out her cell phone, telling Gaara to watch for the teacher. Hinata smiled. "Yeah, he says it's cool." She said. "Cool, 'cause I gotta show you something really cool in Kingdom Hearts."
"Alright."

After school Gaara and Hinata walked down the sidewalk in the general direction of Gaara's house. "Dude, how far have you gotten in Kingdom Hearts? Are you up for spoilers?" he asked her, linking his
arm with hers. "Not that far… I'm usually on the computer nowadays and it's Neji that gets all the video games…" Hinata said. "But I'm totally fine with spoilers…" she added. "One question though…" She started.
Gaara glanced at her. "How come you hate it when I tell you spoilers about something when I'm not?" Hinata looked at him. "Beecuz…" he paused. "I'm cool like that!" he declared dynamically, pointing to the sky. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?" he shouted. "I think you're crazy and sick in the head. Look, your house is right there." Hinata said flatly, ignoring the clouds of gloom looming over Gaara.
"Gaara! Bringing a girl home again, I see!" Kankurou waved to him from the porch. "Hey! She's only a friend! A friend!" Gaara yelled, turning a bit red. "Girlfriend." Kankurou ran into the house with Gaara right behind him in a furious rage. Hinata laughed.
"Hi, Hinata. You thirsty?" Temari asked from the kitchen. "Ah, no, I'm fine. Thank you though." Hinata smiled at her. "Alright. You can go ahead to Gaara's room, he'll be there after he beats Kuro to a pulp." Temari nodded to the stairs. "Thank you. Bye." Hinata hurried up the stairs and into the door on the left.
Hinata waited patiently, witting on his bed and reading .hack/GU+ that she didn't get to look at during study hall. Gaara returned a few minutes later, propping a baseball bat that was stained purple and red against the wall. "You didn't actually kill him, did you?" Hinata asked worriedly. "Nah. He just tried to defend himself by throwing Temari's make-up bottles at me. She wears more purple and red than I thought…" Gaara said indifferently, walking over to turn on the PS2.
"Okay, so this thing is reeeeeally cool. It's something called the '1,000 Heartless Challenge'. I just found it this morning!" Gaara selected the file that read 'Crystal Fissure'. Battle music was playing and Hinata moved to lie on her stomach to watch. Gaara made Sora walk towards the place where the huge battle took place.
"Alright… so people talking, that guy –I forgot what his name is- summons all these Heartless and Sora has to fight them all on his own. When I first saw this I was like, 'Oh god, I gotta show Hinata!' You wanna play?" Gaara handed Hinata the controller. "Ah… Okay."
A few hours had passed, and now Gaara and Hinata were close to finishing the game. Hinata looked at the clock and gasped. "It's that late already? Gaara, I have to go." Gaara, being absorbed in the game, responded, "Yeah, bathroom's down the hall to your left…" Hinata leaned over and hit the start button on the controller, making the game pause. "No, I mean I have to head home now, or dad will be mad." Gaara stood up. "Oh! Okay, sorry." He followed her to the door.
"Uh… Hey, Hinata?" Gaara said, making Hinata pause to look at him. "If you can… Could you come over tomorrow too? Like, if you're dad doesn't get mad at me again." He turned a light pink. Hinata smiled. "Sure. Bye, see you tomorrow." She gave him a quick hug and walked out the door. Gaara watched her until she turned a corner and out of sight then heaved a heavy sigh.
"You sure you two aren't going out?" Temari asked from the living room. "No! God, what is it with older siblings and their younger brother's life!?" Gaara growled at her. "Well, you turned pretty dark red when
she hugged you just now." Temari said, grinning devilishly. Gaara blushed a dark red. "Shut up!" he stomped up the stairs and into his room, muttering incoherent curses as he went up.

"Hey… how much farther until we get back to the base?" A man with blonde hair put up in a ponytail asked tiredly.
"Quit calling it a base. It's a freaking clubhouse." Another man with a fluff of red hair said, sounding very annoyed.
"I'll call it whatever I want to! What's it matter what I call it anyway?" The blonde retorted.
"Come on, it's too small to be called a base and too big to be called a shack. So just call it a clubhouse." The redhead said, letting out a tired sigh.
"A clubhouse? That's so… so… so elementary school! Everyone else has a name for it- The leader calls it home, he lives there!"
"Deidara, you're beginning to piss me off."
"Sasori, you're pissing me off!"
These two people arguing were walking down the sidewalk. They were terribly late for a terribly late-night meeting that their leader called at short notice. Their names were Deidara –the blonde haired man, and Sasori –the man with the fluff of red hair. Now, what did they have to do with Hinata Hyuga and her walk back home from Gaara's house? Well, it's quite simple, really.
"Deidara, watch out-!" Deidara tripped and fell, hearing something squeak under his weight. …A squeaky toy? He thought, looking down. He let out a small gasp when he realized that it was actually a girl. A quite pretty girl… cute, too. But she looked like she was sleeping… was she sleeping here on the street?
"Idiot, get off her!" Sasori pulled on Deidara's collar and threw him off the girl. "W-Wait… She's sleeping." Deidara said. "No, you bumped into her –stupidly, I might add- and made her fall. She hit her head on the pole." Sasori explained. "Well you could've helped me! Like I dunno, pulled on my arm or something!?" As Deidara started complaining, Sasori noticed that something fell out of her bag –no, out of her hands. It was a book, something a little smaller than a novel. Was she reading and walking at the same time?
Sasori picked up the book. "Hey, look." He said. Deidara gasped. "Oh god! .hack/GU+! It's out?" he took the book from Sasori and skimmed through the pages. "Wait… where'd you get this so suddenly? Don't tell me you went to the bookstore without telling me!" Sasori elbowed Deidara in the gut and took the book back. "It's from the girl. She dropped it."
"Oh, we should help her now, shouldn't we?" Deidara said, moving towards Hinata. "Hey, wake up now, sleepyhead." He gently shook her. "Ack-! D-Deidara! B-B-Blood!" Sasori pointed to the pole, noting that there was a small red spot that trailed down to the ground. "Gaah! Blood! Oh no- what if I killed her!?" Deidara panicked, picking the girl up. "Sasori, meet me at the bridge with a butcher knife and garbage bags!" he said. "Are you kidding me!? She's not dead! She's just bleeding in the head! Come on, let's take her to the base- I mean clubhouse!"
Deidara paused. "…See? Base is a much cooler name than clubhouse." He snickered, Hinata still in his arms. "Shut up! I think the base is nearby. Come on." Sasori started walking towards the base-shack-clubhouse.
They walked in silence until Deidara said, "Hey… Sasori, doesn't she look a little like…" Sasori glanced back at him. "Yeah, I know. Maybe we'll ask her to join the club." He said. "Sure, but hot-damn she is pretty! I wish she were awake so that I could see her eyes." Deidara said, squeezing Hinata a little. "Please. You don't have a chance with her. Your first impression was a hit to the head with a pole, for all she knows." Sasori said in an indifferent tone. "Shut up!"

"When does Hinata plan on coming home?" Hiashi angrily crossed his arms over his chest, looking out the window. Neji started putting on his jacket. "I'll go see if she's still at Gaara's house." He said. Hiashi let out a low growl. "Gaara… the son of the guy running my rivaling company! I don't like him." He said. "…Then why'd you let Hinata go to his house in the first place?" Neji asked. Suddenly, Hiashi turned into a doting father with an obsession with his cute daughter. "Because then she wouldn't be happy! And being the good father that I am, I would never want my daughter to be unhappy!" he said, almost cheerfully. "…You spoil us in the weirdest ways…" Neji said, walking out the door.
In at least fifteen minutes, Neji arrived at Gaara's house, knocking on the door. Gaara answered, since Temari and Kankurou were already sleeping. "Oh, hey! How are ya, Neji?" he grinned. "…Yeah. Hi. Is Hinata still here? It's time for her to come home." Neji said. Gaara had a confused look. "…She left about an hour ago. She's not home yet?" he asked worriedly. "No, she's not. Do you know where she might've gone?" he asked. Gaara shook his head. "No, sorry. But I'll help look, If you need the help." He said. Neji nodded. "Okay. Come on. I need your help anyway."
Gaara changed out of his pajamas and put on his jacket. "Do you think she was kidnapped?" he asked as they ran down the street. "Probably." Neji grunted, running ahead. They didn't even know where she was. "…Why didn't you walk her home, Gaara?" he asked after a while. Gaara shrugged. "I thought she'd be fine by herself." He answered. "At night? You know how much she gets into trouble!" Neji said. "Well…" Gaara trailed off. "You're so stupid! A man should never let a woman walk home by herself at night!"
"You're right, I'm stupid! But it's not my fault that…" She's so cute that she'd get kidnapped! Gaara stopped running. "There's blood on that pole over there." He said. Neji walked over to the pole. "…Good eye. The blood's not completely dry, so somebody must've…" he paused. "OH MY GOD! They KILLED
her!" he gasped. Gaara shook his head. "Well it's not like this is Hinata's blood. I mean, anybody could have…" There's been a lot of dramatic trailing off today.
"Hinata's fine. There's no need to worry." Gaara started walking back home. "Wait a minute! How do you know!?" Neji yelled. "Friend-telepathy. Why?" he answered, shrugging. "But I'm her own brother! Shouldn't we have some kind of telepathy or something?" he asked. "I dunno. I'm not you." Gaara said with a slight hint of disgust. "That's not fair! Tell her to show us where she is!" Neji demanded. "She's asleep. But I know that she's okay."
"She's asleep? Dammit, she should've called me or something when she was going back home! Aw man, Dad's gonna be so pissed!" Neji freaked. "Whatever. G'night, Neji." Gaara continued walking back home. "You can at least act worried!" Neji said. "I am worried, douche bag! It's just that it's not that cool to show it." Gaara had a somewhat superior look on his face. "Who're you calling a douche bag!?"
"I'm calling you douche bag, douche bag!"
"You're the douche!"
"Fine! We're both huge piles of douche! I'm going home to sleep, alright?" Gaara got tired of that fast. He started walking back home, ignoring Neji's constant yelling.

For as long as she could remember, Hinata was addicted to anime and manga. And, for as long as she could remember, she was into drawing and artwork as well. She started drawing when she saw Pokemon. She collected the cards just to draw them. Then Sailor Moon aired on TV. The transformation sequence hit her with amazement every time. So much so that she memorized every movement the sailor scout made. It was fun, but she forgot the dance a few years later.
Then her parents got cable. Good cable. With On Demand. Hinata invited Gaara to play at her house one day, and they came across Neji watching something incredibly funny on TV. Curious, the two watched with him, and started laughing very hard at only the opening credits. Hinata bought the DVDs and saw the previews for other shows. Thus, opening the door to the wonderful world called Anime.
Recently (more like a year ago), she got into the anime called Naruto. She watched Naruto Shippuuden online, and read all the recent manga chapters. She fell in love with the evil organization called Akatsuki, instantly making Gaara a fan of them as well. She drew her favorite characters, Deidara, Sasori, and Tobi constantly.
And now, as she was waking up from a sudden blow to the head, she saw blonde hair put up in a ponytail, a fluff of red hair, and an orange mask with swirled black lines.
"Ah, Deidara-san, she's awake!" the one wearing an orange mask called. "Really? Cool." Another voice from across the room said. Hinata heard footsteps coming closer, and then suddenly a somewhat familiar face came into view. "Hello, there." He said, smiling. Hinata turned a dark red.
"Oh, is she up now?" another person walked into the room. Now three people were surrounding her. "Yeah." The one with an orange mask said. Deidara helped Hinata sit up, taking a seat beside her on the bed. Hinata just stared at him with wide eyes. He looks exactly like… her thoughts trailed off and she felt slightly dizzy.
Sasori sat at the foot of the bed. "Hinata-san, are you feeling okay?" he asked, a slightly worried expression on his face. "U-U-Um… Wh-Where a-am I…?" She managed to stutter. Deidara suddenly hugged her. "Oh god, you're voice is so cute!" He gushed, rubbing his face against hers. She turned a darker red, falling limp in his arms. "Ah, you killed her." Tobi said.
Th-Th-They l-look… all of them… T-Tobi… Sasori… and… D-Deidara is h-hugging me! D-Deidara, the Akatsuki –from Naruto –is hugging me! These three men… they're from Akatsuki! Hinata slowly regained consciousness. When she did, she snapped up in bed, letting out a small squeak. "Deidara-san!" she yelled. "Yes?" Hinata turned to her left, immediately grabbing Deidara's face.
"Cosplay!" she declared. "Wh-What?" Deidara asked, gripping her wrists and moving them away from his face. "Y-You're cosplaying as Deidara-san from Akatsuki!" she said, a big smile on her face. Sasori let out a small laugh. "Not exactly…" he said. "Oh my god! A-And you! Y-You're cosplaying as Sasori!" Hinata pointed to Sasori. She turned to her right and suddenly glomped Tobi. "And you're Tobi!" she said happily.
She stood up suddenly. "Where am I?" She asked. "Um… You're in the Akatsuki base, really." Sasori answered. "wait…" Hinata sat down. "I'm dreaming. Akatsuki and the anime Naruto doesn't exist." Tobi patted her back and grinned under his mask. "Akatsuki is us." He said.
Sasori pulled her back onto the bed. "Hinata, I want to explain something to you." He said. Hinata nodded. "I am Sasori, that's Deidara, and he's Tobi. We are all from Akatsuki, but we're not the evil organization from Naruto." He paused to make sure that she was listening. "The Akatsuki you see here is…" Hinata stared intently at him.
"Akatsuki is… a Cosplay Group. And we want you to join." Sasori had a somewhat evil smirk on his face. Hinata's eyes widened a little. "You want me to… join Akatsuki?" she repeated.
