Rin: Welcome back to Chapter number 4!
Hana: sighs Gaara is still asleep…and Orochimaru is…
(A blur passes by, consisting of Orochimaru getting chased by Lady Nicky with an axe)
Hana: well…you know…anyway…I'd like to thank my younger sister Mitsumi-chan (naruhina113) for encouraging me on writing again...and to you people who have been emailing her to tell me to write again...thank you. Disclaimer please…
Temari: (pops out) Hana Thorns does not own Naruto, or any of its characters, but she does own this story and her twisted Ideas. (runs out)
Hana: that's good…damn everybody is scared…
Rin: They're scared of Gaara-niisan-sama! Because He's asleep!
Hana: okay…what's wrong with him sleeping…Shukaku? …never mind…(goes silent as she begins reading a different fanfic.)
Rin: Hana! Why are you reading? Aren't you supposed to be starting this fic!
Hana: Shut up…I'm reading…
Rin: Looks over Hana's shoulder and squeals Oooh…. Accidental engagement…
Hana: yup…made by Naruhina113…or as I call her, my shobe Mitsumi-chan… I'm currently helping the making of this fic…(goes back to reading)
Rin: Well, since Hana-neechan is busy reading, also read! Here's Chapter 4: third word, HAAAPPPINNESSS! squeals in delight
Hana: It's happiness…
Orochimru: still running away What about me!
Rin: That's what you get for 'molesting' little boys!
Orochimaru: But I'm, innocent I tell you…INNOCENT!
Chapter 4: 3rd word Happiness
Gaara and Kankurou went home afterwards. Each of them still shocked at Orochimaru so Temari can't understand what happened to them. Gaara remained silent, while Kankurou repeated over and over again "oh my god, he's so gay…"
"So you're happy having friends now Gaara?" Temari smiled at him
"Happy? What's Happy?"
(The next day)
Gaara took out the dictionary and flipped though the pages until he came to his next unknown word.
Happiness-state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy . Emotions experienced when in a state of well-being
Gaara sighed. It's going to be a long day…
He planned to ask the other people what made them happy. But when he got down, surprise, surprise…there was no one there.
"Where the hell are they?" He muttered. It turned out Kankurou went to the doctor for therapy against the madness Orochimaru 'infected' him with and Temari went with him.
So instead of asking the other Suna siblings he went out to explore Konoha (again)
The first person he met was Naruto.
"Gaara!" exclaimed the hyperactive blonde. He ran to Gaara grinning. "What are you doing up so early?"
"I should be asking you that since it's only seven in the morning…" Gaara replied. "And remember I am an insomniac."
"Oh yeah…" Naruto grinned. "Well what are you doing? Finding a new word?"
"Hai…Naruto can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"What makes you happy?" Gaara asked softly.
"hmm…" Naruto began to think. "Well…using my Sexy no jutsu and Pranks ofcourse! And also seeing Hina-chan…"
Gaara raised an eyebrow.
Naruto covered his mouth "You were not supposed to hear that!"
"Don't worry about it Naruto..." Gaara paused. "Can you teach me how to be happy?"
"Sure!" Naruto exclaimed. "Hmm...first thing first... Pranks!"
classroom
"First I'm going to teach you the chalkboard eraser drop!" Naruto exclaimed, placing the erased on the door crack.
"The what?" Gaara repreated
"The chalk board eraser drop!" Naruto repeated. "When someone comes in...well"
That moment a hand entered the crack. The door was pulled open and the eraser fell on...
Kakashi.
Naruto burst out laughing.
Gaara raised an eyebrow
"am I supposed to be happy now?"
Both Kakashi and Naruto stared at Gaara.
"unm… Naruto what is Gaara doing here?" Kakashi asked
"Well I'm supposed to teach him how to be happy…"
"Oh."" Kakashi coughed. "Well Gaara, a ninja like you wont find happiness in childish pranks like this. I suggest you go somewhere else…"
"Kakashi." Gaara turned his gaze to the white haired teacher. "What makes you happy?"
"Why do you ask that"
"I told you sensei…" Naruto explained putting his arms behind his head. "He's trying to find out what happiness means."
"oh. Well simple. Teaching… (a/n: yeah right…but still) Making up lame excuses and this." Kakashi pulls out his latest copy of Icha Icha paradise.
"Can you teach me?" Gaara asked.
"wh-"
"Hey I'm the one teaching you!" Naruto exclaimed.
"But I'm not learning anything from you" Gaara pointed out bluntly.
"fine lets make a deal!" Naruto interjected. "Ill show you other stuff. If I don't get you happy in one hour THEN you go to other people."
Gaara thought over it and nodded.
"Come one then we have a lot to do!" Naruto grabbed his hand and dragged him off.
hot spring
"Next fun thing I'm going to show you is the hot spring!" Naruto whispered excitedly. "look Jiraya is already there."
Naruto dragged Gaara to where Jiraya sat.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Jiraya screamed when he raised his face and came face to face with Gaara. He suddenly cut off his scream by covering his mouth but it was too late.
"did you hear that Tsunade-sama?" A familiar voice from inside the hot spring asked.
"You were peeking on TSUNADE!?!" Naruto asked in disbelief. "that…old hag!?!"
"JIRAYA!" An angry scream echoed from the hot spring.
"On second thought never mind. RUN!" Naruto yelled running from the place leaving Gaara behind. Gaara shrugged and faded into the sand as the wall of the hot spring collapsed, revealing a very furious Tsunade. Jiraya was left behind, only to become a sparkle in the sky.
Naruto leaned against a tree panting.
"That was too close for comfort." He gasped catching his breath back. Gaara suddenly materialized in front of him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto screamed before calming down
"You left me behind."
"I'm sorry but Tsunade was going to murder us!"
Gaara shrugged. "you have 20 minutes left."
"Fine. I'll show you how to have fun again! Lets have Ramen"
at the ramen house
Naruto was slurping his 6th bowl of Ramen as Gaara was still cleanly eating his 1st.
"Another one please!" Naruto exclaimed grinning as he got another bowl.
"time's up Naruto." Gaara placed down his bowl before standing up and preparing to leave..
"Wait Gaara I-"
Gaara glanced at him coldly before he tossed his money tyo the ramen person.
"I still have to do something." He left the place.
"Wait!" Naruto quickly finished his ramen and paid for it. "What are you-"
He stopped in his tracks when he saw Gaara walking towards Hinata.
"um… Gara-san What can I do for you?"
Gaara didn't say a word and just leaned over, his face close to Hinata who blushed bright red.
"Gaara!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" Naruto yelped and pushed him aside or tried to. The sand swirled around him and ripped the fox boy, blinding him and making him trip.
"Gaara-San?"
"I was just checking out what Naruto said… frankly I don't see why?" Gaara moved and turned around walking away..
"why what?" Naruto called after him sitting up. "Gaara explain yourself!"
"Well you told me seeing Hinata makes you happy…" Gaara paused and shrugged. Hinata turned even redder (if that was possible) and fainted, thankfully Naruto caught her. "so I tried… it may be your happiness but not mine."
He vanished in the sand laving A fainted and very red Hinata in a very confused Naruto's arms.
In the main street
Gaara looked around impassively. He still hasn't found the meaning of Happiness yet, rack up another word for the unknowns.
"Aww… Akamaru-kun!" A soft voice called out. He turned and saw Hizuki with Kiba. In her arms was Akamaru. "you are so cute!"
"Cute?" Gaara repeated to himself. "What is cute?"
Hana: Another chapter done. Frankly I'm surprised I actually continued this. This chapter remained in my saved folders/drafts box for months. Anyway I have mo9re ideas bubbling. looks over a Gaara
Rin: Hana-chan got lazy again. We don't know if you still want to read this/continue this, but if you do please review. That way Hana-chan would have inspiration to start writing again!
Hana: That includes accidental engagement… sighs Finals coming up. But since now I have my own laptop and I can bring it with me and type around 2 hours every morning I'll probably update my fics sooner… if people read and REVIEW.
Rin: Oh yeah if you have any word request please tell us! We still have 27 more words to go and we need inspiration! Feel free to email us in (opens his eyes) What… just happened and why am i…. tied up?
Hana: Just because Orochimaru put you to sleep and everyone was going nuts because of fear of Shukaku. (goes back to typing and reading fics)
Gaara: oh… (breaks the bonds easily)
Rin: (Shouts out the window) coast is CLEAR!!!! GAARA IS AWAKE!!!!!!!!!!
People of Konoha (cheers and parties)
Orochimaru (runs by with lady nicky still after him) HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
