If you'd like to see fanart of my stories, raise your hand? I'm seriously considering illustrating some of these.
Gaara walked with Naruto down the streets of Konoha. Kakashi was not at his home but that was to be expected of the successful jounin. So they decided to hang out in hopes that he would find them; something that he was very good at doing. Naruto was shooting the breeze, telling Gaara about people, things, and Konoha in general. It was interesting but something was bothering the sand ninja.
"Naruto, how did you know that it was me?" he asked during a pause in conversation.
"Oh? Well, Kankurou is a lot older so he acts like he's cool. You're always so quiet and laid back. You acted a lot like Gaara so I just took a chance. If you were Kankurou, you'd try and beat me up but Gaara doesn't lie so, I knew you'd tell me." Naruto smiled. Gaara was in wonder at his intuitiveness.
"Speaking of Gaara, there's you right now," Naruto said pointing down the street. Indeed, Temari in his body was walking the streets looking around curiously.
"TE-..GAARA!" the young sand ninja called to his older sister, momentarily forgetting himself. She looked up and ran over to them, smiling brightly. "What are you doing here?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing. I was feeling really agitated all cooped up in the house so I thought I'd go for a walk," she responded. "Oh, hello, Naruto."
Naruto tilted his head. "Hi, Temari." It was strange seeing Gaara act like that. That is...Gaara's body act like...Temari's...mind.... He looked more perplexed.
"You know it's me??" She looked at Gaara. He nodded. "You told him? But why?"
"Naruto's pretty smart, he figured it out," he commented looking at Naruto, who's eyes were swirling. "... ... Anyway..."
Temari shrugged and sat down beside Gaara, crossing her legs. "Hey, you wanna hang with me? I'm really bored, you know."
Gaara shrugged and stood up. "Sure, I don't mind. Naruto and I were going to look for Kakashi-sensei, in hopes that he could discover what jutsu was used on us and fix it. You know since Tsunade is gone."
The older sand ninja cheered up. "That's a great idea. Where is he now?"
"Dunno. He'll find us." She nodded and they began to walk around the town.
Temari stopped them at a shop for girls. "EEEE! Look at these hair clips!" She grabbed a few purple ones and put them up next to the red hair that she was now donning. "I would look so hot in these!"
A few girls looked at her and chuckled. Gaara fidgeted nervously. "Uh...Temari..."
"OH! OH! Look!" She hurried eagerly over to a rack of earings. "I've been looking all over for a cute pair of dangling earrings for my dates with Shika-kun!"
"Uuuuuh, Temari..." Gaara said more nervously but quietly... Naruto was looking wierded out as well. Temari was forgetting that she was in Gaara's body and that currently she was making him look very...
"I miss my boyfriend dammit!!" She whined and pouted. Yes....she was making him look very... "I know I need a new dress so he can see how sexy I am." She ran off.
"Uh...Gaara," Naruto began...
"I know. Oh, sweet mother in heaven....I know." He sighed and followed Temari.
When they found her she staring at a store. "Oh. MY. GOD! 50 to 70 off! Hell yeah!" She ran into the pink building and began perusing the racks. Naruto and Gaara stood outside in fear.
"You better go in before she ruins your reputation."
"I was hoping that I could just commit suicide and end it all now," Gaara said matter of factly. Naruto smiled sympathetically and pushed him into the store.
Temari was fighting an older girl over a lilac dress. "Let go, Leaf Whore!"
"I saw it first, Sand Scum!"
"You may have saw it but your eyes didn't grab it. I did!" Temari retorted narrowing her eyes.
"Get out of my country!"
"Get out of my face!"
"I'll kick your ass!"
"Oh?! OH YEAH??? SABAKU NO SOU-" She began, sand snaking up the girls ankle. Gaara jumped over the table of clothes and put her in a headlock. Naruto tried to get between them best he could.
Gaara struggled with his sister. "Naruto, grab the dress and let's get out of here."
Naruto nodded and snatched the dress from their hands and ran off with it. The woman chased him. Temari was still trying get the sand to kill her but Gaara covered her eyes so she couldn't see what was going on.
A blond streak soon passed by them as Naruto was being chased out of the store by a flock of irate kunoichi. Gaara followed, dragging his sister along with him. The three were able to escape after some time and disguises later. The two boys wer panting heavily.
"Temari...."Gaara said between breaths. "For future reference...I'm going to need you to act less happy girly and more I hate everything. You know...so I don't look like...." he paused. "A HOMOSEXUAL!!!" He grabbed her by the collar. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! MY BOYFRIEND, TEMRARI??? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!"
She smiled apologetically, sweating a little. "Oops....Did I forget I was in a boy's body?" Gaara pulled his fist back, twitching psychotically. Naruto grabbed his fist.
"Don't punch yourself! Calm down. Maybe no one will remember." Gaara gave him a dubious look.
Kakashi popped up sitting on a rooftop. "Hey, Gaara! I heard you had a boyfriend!" The young boy looked as his sister with murder in his eyes.
"Kakashi sensei!" Naruto interjected before his friend to pummel his sister. "Do you think you could help us?"
The jounin hopped down and looked intrigued. "Hmm?"
"Gaara, Temari, and Kankurou got their minds...er...bodies..um...switched!" He explained pointing in two opposite directions. Kakashi looked at the Kankurou'd Gaara and the Gaara'd Temari. "We were thinking you could use your Sharingan to fix them."
There was some tense silence as the Copy Ninja who knew over 1000 jutsu peered at the two Sand ninja intensely. Gaara felt the hair on his arms stand on end under that gaze. Temari's heart beat rapidly in her now small chest. Could he help them? Naruto seemed to have a lot of faith in him. Even the usually cheery Naruto looked nervously on.
"...Mmmmm...Nope, not a damn thing I can do right now." They all collapsed in a heap. How disappointing. "But if you give me a fews more days I can help you, I think." Joy! They perked up. Temari pounced him and hugged him tightly.
"Oh thank you , thank you...." She pressed her cheek against his firm, tightly muscled body. "Hey, do you date younger girls?" Gaara choked on his spit? He didn't hear that.
Kakashi smiled and rubbed her head. "Maybe when you get into your own body. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not into that kind of thing?" Naruto and Gaara looked confused. Popular belief. "Crazy doujinshi. Well, I'm off. Don't kill each other." He disappeared as silently was he came leaving them to cope with the news.
Temari sank to the ground. "I want to sleeeeep!" She wailed.
"Speaking of which," Gaara shoved his hands in his pockets. "I'm going to take a nap. I'll see you around Naruto." Naruto nodded. With that, Gaara left them and headed home. On the way back, he almost ran over Kankurou returning from his day with Shikamaru. "Watch it...Oh...Kankurou."
The boy grinned from ear to ear. "Gaara, you are NOT going to believe what I just did."
A sinking feeling a kin to the titanic going under weighed on Gaara's stomach. "......."
"I just made out with Shikamaru...ALL DAY!"
It was official. His older brother was intent on suicide. "Temari...is going...to kill....you."
Kankurou waved his hand dismissively. "Whatever. I have all the juicy details and you gotta hear them!"
"No way in hell." He snapped. That sounded a lot like Kankurou, Gaara mused. He filed that comment in the back of his mind and started walking. His brother followed, practically skipping.
"So, you know how I'm bleeding right?"
"Oh god."
"So Shikamaru feels guilty and asks me to make out. I was totally freaked! But since I have this hot body, I might as well enjoy it, right?'
"Uh...no."
"Shut up. So... he starts feeling up my shirt..."
"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!" Gaara put his hands over his ears. A few more days?? Could they really make it? The Sand User had his serious doubts.
