Declaimer: No, I do NOT own Naruto, That counts for all chapters of this fic
In case you were wondering:
Bold- Inner selves
Italics- Thoughts

When no one seemed all that surprised by the incident Gaara turned to Hinata, "Do they do that regularly?"
" W-well, yeah. You get used t-to it after a while" She answered and turned back to the chemical she was pouring, her hands shaking. She was never very good at this stuff. Usually one of her friends did the pouring while she read what they needed and what amount.
When Gaara noticed she was shaking he put his arm around her shoulder and grabbed the vile out of her hand. Hinata blushed.
"You need to be careful or you'll spill it," he said causing her cheeks to redden some more as he poured in the right amount. "What's next?" he asked and turned back to her. She was still blushing but her eyes were now on the book and her head was down making her hair cover her face a little.
She's cute
Not. In science. Get lost
You know you think the same thing
Nope
Oh yes you do because I am you
Maybe…but get out now!
"S-sabaku- kun?" Hinata asked when she noticed he was only half paying attention
"Yeah?" he looked down at the substance in his hand "oh…" he put it away and found the right acid. "And forget about the Sabaku-kun nonsense call me Gaara"
"O-ok" she answered.
And that's pretty much how the morning went, Gaara arguing with his inner self, Hinata showing him around the school, being his partner, and helping him fix his mistakes. So when it came to lunch she just had to ask him…
"D-do you want to eat lunch w-with me and my friends, G-Gaara?"
Gaara looked at her for a moment
You know you want to
Fine I'll go
Wow, you're getting nicer
Mean while why don't you take a fricking lunch beak too!
Never mind that…
"Sure, Hinata"
"Ok, come on."
She started going through the crowed and he followed her. When they finally got to the table he realized that he recognized almost everybody.
"O-ok, that's Kiba, Naruto, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura. Everyone this is Sabaku no Gaara,"
Gaara looked around… "Why is he sleeping?" he asked pointing to Shikamaru as he sat down.
"Because he just does. He's the smartest one in the school too… and I can't figure out how?" explained the blonde haired Naruto
"Well for one thing he studies at home" mocked Kiba
"So do I!" exclaimed Naruto.
"I don't th-" he was cut off by Gaara
"How did you get the school to let you keep the mutt?" He asked
"Akumaru is not a MUTT!" yelled Kiba
"K-keep your voice down, P-please Kiba" asked Hinata as everyone started to stare at them.
"Akumaru is not a mutt, and I got them to think I needed him, like a therapy dog…"
"Which isn't exactly a lie cause you really could use some therapy" Sakura now butted in.
"Why you!"
Naruto, Ino and Shino all walked over to Gaara at this point.
"Let's go this is going to get nasty…" said Naruto as he started to pull Gaara's shirt, Gaara quickly broke free and grabbed Hinata. These people maybe Hinata's friends but he still didn't know them and so she was coming with him.
"Where are we going?" he asked
"To the gym today it's basketball, boys vs. girls" replied Naruto
When they finally got to the gym Tenten, Sakura and Kiba where already there along with a boy Gaara soon learned was named Sasuke and another named Neji. There was also someone with the biggest eyebrows he'd ever seen; he was Lee. Some other girls where there but he didn't have enough time to ask who they were before he got dragged along with the rest of the guys.
"So …Gaara, you going to play? " asked Neji
"Why not?"
"Ok, then take off your shirt" replied Naruto
"Hu?.. um why?"
"Because Neji's hair is so long he looks like a girl and we don't want the girls to pass to him" Came a voice, Gaara turned around and saw the raven haired boy… Sasuke
"Shut it!" yelled Neji
"It's just easier, now let's go" Kiba finally answered Gaara's question... well sort of.
God I can't believe I'm doing this… Hinata's here
See you DO like her
Get lost I need to concentrate
On Hinata?
On The GAME!
Sure…
As Gaara was taking of his shirt what he didn't see was the blush that was creeping across Hinata's cheeks every time she looked his way.
He's Hot she thought as she watched Gaara take off his shirt No! Can't think that! Not again… but he's sooooooo cute she kept saying to herself as her blush got bigger and bigger HINATA! She finally made herself snap out of it; focus.
So they started the game and much to the guys surprise the girls were actually good. Even Hinata! Although she was shy and quiet she was also really fast, probably why she got the ball so many times. As the buzzer rang again Gaara looked up at the score, it was 7 guys 10 girls.
