He pushed back the book's cover excitedly. From what he could tell, he had defiantly been improving and he was sure to make a friend this time. Really, for someone as accessible as him, he had no idea why it hadn't worked already. People of Konoha were either really cold or just really stupid. Smirking at the latter, he perched his glasses on the end of his nose and looked down at the pages. 'STAGE FIVE'
"If you haven't already, it's time to extend your friendships boundaries and explore new places together. Plan a surprise excursion or take them out for a cup of tea. Show a bit of spontaneity and let this event and decision be your canvas."
Perfect. He knew exactly what majority of Konoha's village loved. Ramen. If he concealed himself by the popular 'Ichiraku' stand he was bond to find someone to accompany for a meal.
He didn't have to wait long at all as the shy, Hyuuga girl made her appearance. As she entered the small restaurant she seemed disappointed by the lack of other people inside. He would change that! She sat on one of the middle stools. The red stools. He liked red. Plastering the biggest smile Gaaraly possible he sat next to her. Taken by surprise she slid to the next stool away from him.
"Hello Hinata."
"H...H..."
"What are you doing here? In the Ramen stand? All Alone?" This comment seemed to panic her slightly.
"W...Wait...Nar...Kun..."
"Naruto? The toad boy? Oh yes! I remember trying to kill him!"
"I...A..." He scooched closer to her to help develop the relationship. She moved away by another stool.
"And you, one of his little friends. I thought about the satisfaction your death may bring also but never got around to it." She let out a small strangled sound as he slid closer. Moving along once again, he followed her, effectively trapping her against the stands wall. "Don't panic! I promised not to hurt you guys!"
"H...a..."
"FOR THIS MISSION ANYWAY!" He laughed loudly at his own brilliant sense of humour. She was sure to be won over with his incredible wit. She was shaking an unnatural amount and being the kind hearted boy he was, he slid a thin ribbon of sand around her to help keep her in place.
"I...Leave." She tried to move but Gaara was helping hold her in place so well, she was quite effectively stuck. "Mmm!"
"Let's order." He turned and leaned very close to her. "Do they have anything...Raw?"
"N...o!"
"No matter, I'll get that annoying white dog next time I see it."
"Aka...?" She was squirming so he tightened his grip.
"OR MAYBE I WILL JUST EAT YOU!" Damn he was hilarious.
Unfortunately, he had been correct in his second guess of Konoha's people just being too dumb to befriend easily. Hinata was dense enough to think he was being serious...Good thing his helpful sand had held her in place when she passed out.
