Suna Daycare

Chapter Six

The Era of Evil Children Shall Begin Part III

"Ready.. GO!"

Gaara stopped, blinking and watching Hanabi and Konohamaru. He knew they had been planning something, he just hadn't been too sure of what. Suddenly, he felt something drip on his head, and he looked up. A bucket fell over, full of some strange coloured liquid. It landed on Gaara's head, and he grunted, putting his hands on it and pulling it off.

The only problem was, it wouldn't come off. It was stuck.

"Ahaha!!" Konohamaru laughed, going behind Gaara and pushing him towards some part of the room. Hanabi got on all fours in front of Gaara, and the red head, or bucket head now, tripped over her, falling onto a bunch of pink feathers. They got stuck to him thanks to the funny coloured liquid, and he got up, wobbling around a bit. Hanabi jumped up, pushing Gaara in a different direction.

He felt his foot get caught on something, and suddenly he was yanked off the ground, now hanging upseide down. He made a loud, angry noise. All he could hear was Hanabi and Konohamaru laughing. For some odd reason, he was still able to breath. Maybe there was a hole in the bucket or something?

Hanabi and Konohamaru continued to laugh, grabbing sticks and hitting Gaara with them. Hanabi, giving and evil laugh, hit Gaara in the stomach with the stick in her hands. "Spank the pinyata!"

"Haahaha!!" Konohamaru started laughing so much that he fell over. Gaara's arms flailed around, and Hanabi kept hitting him while shouting 'spank the pinyata'.

Temari walked into the room, gasping when she watched Gaara get beat up by a ten year old. She ran over, grabbing the stick from Hanabi. "Hey hey hey, what are you doing?!"

"Having fun!" She grinned. "Are you going to stop me?"

"Um.." Temari blinked, then pointed at the door. "Your cousin is here to pick you up.."

"Neji!!" She ran to the door when she seen her cousin, jumping up and giving him a hug. After they left, Temari helped Gaara down, trying to pull the bucket off of his head. Finally, she yanked the bucket off, and Gaara fell over.

"Arg!!" He put his hands to his face, trying to wipe the gunk off of it. Instead, his hands got stuck, and he got even angrier. Temari covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. He glared up at her. "WHAT!?"

"Hehe.. hehehehe.. your hair.." She started giggling, and he got up, his hands still stuck to his face, running into the bathroom and looking into the mirror. Temari couldn't help but start laughing even more when she heard Gaara's incredibly loud enraged roar.

"What.. the hell?!" He stared at himself in the mirror. His hair was all standing up, stuck from whatever had been in the bucket. Not only that, but some of it had been ripped off when Temari had yanked the bucket off of his head. He ran out of the bathroom, and Temari laughed even harder. "THEY. ARE. EVIL!!"

"Ahaha!" She laughed, both her and Konohamaru on the floor rolling around. Mizuki just stood there, staring at the bucket. "You have to admit, that was good!"

"IT WASN'T!!" He growled, trying to pull his hands off of his face. Mizuki looked up at him.

"The substance within the bucket was something called 'glue'." She said, looking at the bucket again. "It can be washed off, but your hair won't come back.."

"DAMN IT!!" He ran into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Temari looked at Konohamaru, trying not to laugh.

"Your grandpa is here." She said, and Konohamaru got up, laughing as he left the room. Temari looked at Mizuki, and when she noticed the girl hadn't really been laughing, she stopped. "You need to go too."

"It really wasn't that funny.." Mizuki said, frowning. "His hair got ripped off.."

"Yeah, I know. It really shouldn't be laughed at." Temari grinned. "But some people like to laugh at the misfortune of others."

Mizuki shook her head, smiling slightly. "Well.. his hair did look funny.."

"That's the spirit!" Temari got up, gesturing for Mizuki to follow her. "Now come'on, it's time for you to go."

They both giggled as they heard the shower start.

- - -

"It's okay, Gaara!!"

He shook his head around, getting water all over the place. Temari stood behind him, trying to fix his hair. "It's not okay! That kid is evil! EVIL!"

"Yeah, yeah, shes evil, I get it already." She sighed, making a face when she looked at Gaara's hair again. There was a small bald patch where the hair had ripped off. "Yikes.. um.. there really isn't much I can do for you, Gaara.. unless you'd like me to shave off all your hair.."

"Do it, I don't care anymore!!" He growled, and she blinked. She knew that he would regret it, and she didn't nessecarily want to shave all of his hair off. She loved his hair, not often could you find such a nice red in hair colours. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

"Gaara.. You do know it will take a while for it to grow back to this length, right?" He shrugged, and she sighed again. She pulled up one of those old style shaving blades, staring at his hair. "Alright then.. I hope you don't regret this.."

He grumbled something, and closed his eyes as he let Temari begin to shave off his hair.

Three hours later...

"W-...what.. what the hell?!"

"I told you.." Temari moved away, putting the blade down and covering her mouth. All she needed was to start laughing at him again. "I knew.. pfft.. I-I knew.. that.. pffffffffttt... you wouldn't.. you wouldn't like it.. pfffffffffftt-ahahahaha!!"

"Be QUIET!!" He shouted, touching his head. His face looked dranged, and his head was completely bald. Shiney, too. "I.. swear.. I will kill that child.. if it takes all I've got.. I don't care about her damn family!!"

"Hey, hey.. " She kept from bursting out laughing again. "It was just a joke.."

"Just.. a joke." His expression turned blank, and he turned around, staring at his sister. He pounted to his black eye. "A joke."

She didn't say anything, and he pulled up his shirt, showing all of the bruises on his stomach. "A joke."

She kept her mouth shut, and then he pointed at his head. "A joke."

That's when she started laughing. Gaara growled when she held the wall for support, finding no humor in any of this. "It's not a joke!!"

"I know!! I know!! I'm sorry, Gaara!" She laughed, wiping a tear from her eye. She finally made a straight face, looking back to her younger brother. Her mask faultered, and she burst out laughing again. "I can't take you seriously anymore!! Ahahaha!! You look like an upside down egg with eyeliner on!! Hahahaha!!"

"Shut up!!!" He shouted, turning around and looking back in the mirror. "What else was I supposed to do? Now I look even more stupid!! This wont help at all!! I need a hat!!"

"Bahahaha!!" Temari got out of the bathroom, running out of the room to find Kankuro. Gaara watched her go in the mirror, then held his head again.

"No eyebrows and no hair do not make a good match.. not at all.." He slapped his forhead, groaning. Those kids were evil, he knew it. Obviously he did, look at what they did to him! He stared at himself in the mirror, his face somewhat disgusted. "I hate children.. I hate kids.. I hate little brats who think they can best me!!"

"Then get them back.." Temari giggled as she walked back into the bathroom. Gaara turned around, seeing Kankuro there with their sister. Kankuro's mouth shot wide open, and he pointed at Gaara.

"WHOA!!" Gaara's angry expression obviously didn't work, seeing as Kankuro was still pointing and gawking. His older brother and sister looked at each other, both of them beginning to laugh their asses off. "Hehehehehe.. nice look on you, bro!"

"Shut.. upppp.."

His anger only helped to make them laugh even more. Finally, he gave up, sighing and turning around, staring into the sink. He pulled up a piece of his hair that had fallen into the sink after being cut off. "I guess I can't blame you two for laughing so much.. I look rediculas."

They slowly stopped laughing, and Kankuro put his hand on Gaara's shoulder. "Hey. Don't worry, we can fix this."

"This was fixing it!" He put his hands on his head again. "What more can I do now!?"

"Here," Kankuro took off his cat-hat thing, putting it on Gaara's head. "Until we find a hat that will suit you, you can wear this."

Gaara blinked, pulling it up a bit since it was slightly too big for his head. It beat being bald, he guessed. "Thanks.. I suppose.."

"Kankuro will be looking for a hat that you could wear, but until then we can't stop our babysitting jobs. We've got all the kids from today, except for Hanabi which is a good thing for you, and new ones. It's too late to stop, alright?"

"Okay.." He frowned, looking at his siblings. "I suppose as long as Hanabi isn't there, it won't be so bad.. but Konohamaru is a bit evil too.."

"Don't worry about it, once Kankuro is done hat searching, he'll help you with babysitting." Temari smiled, giving Gaara a hug. Kankuro blinked, having been unaware that he'd offered to help with the babysitting part.

"That should make things a looooottttt easier.." Gaara pulled the sides of Kankuro's hat down after Temari pulled back from the embrace. "Sorry for keeping you guys up.."

"Hey, don't worry about it." Kankuro smirked, patting Gaara on the shoulder. "Just relax, alright? Things will be fine tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'll make sure of it." Temari smiled, and Gaara nodded. After they left, Gaara sat on the couch, staring at the ceiling.

He wondered what would happen if he tried to get Hanabi back.

- - -

A/N: Yes, yes, I know, I cut all Gaara's beautiful hair off. It saddens me, but I hadn't had any different ideas, and this is a good reason for him to really want to get Hanabi back. Oh, and yes, I realize that I have been misspelling her name the entire time. I had been spelling Hinabi instead of Hanabi. That should not happen again, not that it was much of a big difference :P
