Chapter 7: GET YOUR GROOVE ON!
Gaara
The night was still and silent in the Fire Country. The leaves of Konoha's forests whistled only in the wind, and the only ones awake were a few jonin and a group of six shinobi resting just a few miles outside of the village.
Neji crouched, tending a small fire, worried about his position in the house, and maybe even a little worried about Hinata…not that he would ever admit it. Rock Lee was off somewhere in the forest, training, probably with squirrels. Kiba and Shino had finally caught up with them and been properly explained to, so Kiba was still awake from excitement, and Shino was awake because…well, who knows why Shino does anything? The last two members of the group sat to the side, quietly conversing between themselves.
"So, you're Gaara?" Shikamaru asked, just to be sure. Hinata nodded. "How absolutely troublesome." He groaned, leaning back. Why was he here again? He had been watching the gate, when the group had approached him. As was his mission, he had stopped them…only to be grabbed by Hinata and dragged out.
"So…" He said, peering at the cold, emotionless Hinata. "Why did you drag me into this?"
Gaara looked away, making him look almost like Hinata.
"For Temari."
Shikamaru stared at him. "What?" Gaara didn't reply, and Shikamaru sat up, shaking his head.
"Whatever." Though Gaara couldn't help but notice how Shikamaru's face was slightly pink at the thought of his sister. Weird.
As the night wore on, everyone returned, and eventually everyone fell asleep. Except Gaara. Despite his attempts, he had no idea how to sleep, and so stayed awake, watching the group.
Elsewhere
On the rooftops of Konoha, a green clad man jumped from house to house.
"Oh, my youthful student, where have you gone to?" Came the deep cry.
Gai stopped at a tall house, gazing up into the night sky with tears running down his face.
"I will be waiting for you to return in the springtime of truth!" Matto Gai shouted, shaking his fist at the sky. This was so upsetting for him; he had hoped to have a 5000 lap race with his pupil the next morning!
Back to Gaara
"Yosh Gai-sensei, let us run into the sunset of youth and justice!"
Gaara stared at Lee as he sat straight up on his pile of leaves, shouting. Then, he collapsed back down, still asleep. Gaara growled, confused. He wished one of his older siblings were here to explain this to him, one of the many things they had begun doing since the Chunin exams. Well, at least he knew one thing- that Lee boy was a freak.
Hinata
As soon as she uttered the word of consent, sand crept up and around her arm. She trembled in fear as her left arm became a blue-veined sand arm. The presence of the voice in her mind increased until it threatened to overcome her own.
"What are you doing?" She squealed, rubbing her temples.
I need some control if we are to do this right. The voice growled.
"I can dance." Hinata murmured. All main branch members learned to dance, it was common practice.
Hrm. Well, Gaara can't, so I'll be helping you. Shukaku grinned.
Then, he began to sing. For a whiny demon, he sang rather well and knew several catchy good-to-dance to tunes. A sand tail formed from Hinata's pants. Her foot began to tap.
They danced. Hinata shook her hips and Shukaku boogied with his arm. Livening up the beat a little, he swirled his tail around in rings as Hinata bobbed her head. She began to sing along in her Gaara's deep voice, which was pretty in song.
"I'm blue dabadee dabadie…" She sang, wiggling her arm.
Temari shifted.
Shukaku decided to switch songs to that one by sum41…what was it called? In Too Deep? (highly suggest youtubeing for rock lee – in too deep)
"And I'm in too deep, cuz im trying to keep, up above in my head, instead of going under, instead of going under agaaaaain!" Hinata sang.
She swirled around, twisting her feet to the rhythm, as Shukaku beat his tail to tune.
Kankuro cracked open an eye. Shoving Temari, they both sat up. At first all they could see was the dark silhouette of a half-transformed Gaara on the horizon, but before panic could register, they heard the singing. Exchanging glances of fear and confusion, they crept to watch.
Hinata high fived with Shukaku's arm.
Temari almost burst out laughing, but a look from Kankuro stopped it in her throat.
Then, Hinata grabbed the sandy arm and she and the demon did the wave, the tail following suit. She flipped her head, twisting with her body to the music. Shukaku pressed his hand to the ground, and together they began to break dance. Hinata twirled on her head, Shukaku's tail keeping her balanced. Jumping up, she began to do the robot, the tail becoming angled and metallic.
Temari and Kankuro scurried back to their beds, scarred.
"I'll pretend I didn't see anything if you pretend you didn't see anything." Kankuro gasped quickly. Temari swiftly agreed and the matter was forgotten.
But not by the dancers.
Finally, at the break of dawn, they stopped.
Wooo! Shukaku laughed. That was the most fun I've had in years! Almost as much fun as blood!
"Wooo!" Hinata laughed, out of breath and ignoring his gruesome remark.
Heh, you're not too bad, girly. Shukaku said mischievously.
Hinata blushed. Maybe her time in this body wasn't going to be so bad after all.
