After arriving in the magical land of Konoha, the sand siblings stayed at a small hotel. Their room had two beds and a cot. Of course, Kankurou would be sleeping on the cot because his little brother is a homicidal maniac and his sister is pushy. There was also a very small bathroom that they would fight over. (Guess who always wins?)

Gaara kept all of his crazy voodoo stuff in his bag and put some of the less important things, like needles and thread and buttons, into the gourd he always had strapped to his back. The little insomniac grinned. It showed canine teeth that were too sharp for their own good.

Kankurou had already gone to the doctor with Temari. Gaara was home alone and he was restless. He decided to go outside and search for more victims. Maybe he would find some more supplies for his voodoo rituals, too.

"Hey, it's Gaara! What're you doing here!" shouted a blonde boy wearing loud orange clothing. Gaara thought he was crazy, but not one to be messed with.

"I'm breathing."replied the sand-nin.

"Ha ha! So am I, but really, why're you here?" Naruto grinned expectantly since Gaara was always full of odd things to say. The red-haired boy was now staring at Naruto's hair. Then he stared at Naruto's clothes. Naruto was beginning to feel creeped out.

"I need some of your hair. Now." Gaara spoke in his classic monotone.

"What?"

"Your hair. I need some of it."

"Uh… why?"

Pause.

"I really need it." Gaara held up a kunai expectantly, the handle facing Naruto. The boy's eyes bored into the blonde shinobi.

"Um, okay?" Naruto took the kunai and cut off a lock of his golden hair, which he promptly handed to Gaara. The latter darkly grinned and sauntered off to the hotel.

However, before he got there, the sand-nin ran into a certain person. A certain person with very fuzzy eyebrows.

"Gaara? What brings you here to the wonderful land of Konoha?" The green spandex-clad boy smiled and did the 'Nice-Guy Pose'. His teeth immediately took that opportunity to brilliantly sparkle and shine. Rather, they more blinded Gaara and made him squint. Gaara's left eye twitched.

"I'm existing. Can I have some of your hair?" asked the redhead.

"E-excuse me?" Lee dropped his cheerful demeanor at Gaara's odd request. Confusion replaced it.

"I really need some of your hair. Please?" Gaara added that word at the end of his sentence after remembering that Temari or Kankurou would say it when they wanted something.

"Um, why do you need it?" Lee knew that Gaara was odd and had gone through a lot in his life, but why would he need hair?

"I just need it. Please?" Gaara held up the kunai to Lee.

"Urm, okay…" Lee also cut a lock of his shiny black hair. The beautiful green beast handed the lock and kunai back to Gaara. The insomniac grinned psychotically and walked back to the hotel as he originally meant. Gaara promply went to making dolls of the grinning fox-boy and watermelon peel-boy. Maniacal laughter rang throughout the hotel. Babies cried. A little two-year-old screamed after dropping her ice cream cone. And Temari and Kankurou got a really weird vibe.

2 hours later: A moment with Naruto

"Ah, what a perfect ending to a perfect day!" exclaimed Naruto as he stretched. Today was perfect in every aspect for him. He ate at the Ichiraku for breakfast with Iruka (he had the dayoff from teaching). Naruto had walked around in themarket place for an hour or so, then he quite literally ran into Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon and played ninja with them for a good majority of the day. After Ebisu came and spoiled all the fun, Naruto went to do some training. He had found Sasuke in the area and the two had an unspoken challenge as to who reach the top of the tallest tree in the shorest amount of time. It was tie, but Naruto felt that he had rightfully won.
Now, Naruto was walking back to his apartment on the other side of Konoha. The sunset had saturated everything to a golden-orange color. It made Naruto feel warm and fuzzy inside. Unless that was just the Kyuubi. Naruto didn't even notice he was hovering off the ground, until he did a loop de loop into a pole. The poor, bruised fox ninja rubbed his sore head, then did the moonwalk down the street.

"Wh-what the hell's going on! My legs are like noodles!" shouted Naruto as he did a sort of ballerina-esque twirl. He passed his apartment an into the woods. The helpless boy spun like a top and passed out from dizzyness.
It was an unexpected ending to such a wonderful day.
