disclaimer: do naruto owning for me.

Chapter 9: Baki

Baki

He had been raised a normal ninja. Average in his grades, failed only as many missions as he succeeded, he had a pretty boring shinobi life that Shikamaru would've been jealous of. That is, until he had been assigned to the genin Temari, Kankuro, and their brother, Gaara.

The pressure was high. These were the late Kazekage's children after all. And one of them was a bloodthirsty little freak with no eyebrows who had threatened to kill him more times than he could count on both hands.

After the Chunin exams, Gaara had become quieter, calmer. This worried Baki even more though; what could the tanuki be planning? It gave him chills thinking about it.

And now this. Gaara was acting so…happy. It was creepy and disturbing and he had heard Gaara effing GIGGLE. Something was terribly wrong. Horribly wrong.

Temari

She wanted to burst out laughing as she saw Baki's expression. She wondered what he could be thinking, seeing Gaara hug the little Konoha kunoichi.

She was rather surprised herself. Not by the fact Hinata had hugged Gaara and then fainted; she seemed like that kind of person. She was more surprised by the fact that Gaara was hugging back. Tightly. True, he looked terribly confused and distraught, but still. Was that her little brother or not?

Kankuro

He smirked smugly. That was Gaara for you. No people skills whatsoever.

Gaara

He was so humiliated. He flushed and felt the heat go to his face. Okay, he told himself, just let go of the little girl and it'll all be okay.

But he couldn't.

It was his body he was hugging, anyway.

He heard, or rather felt, Shikamaru step forward from among the group behind them.

"This is troublesome, but, I assume you all know what's going on?" He said.

"Of course, genius. We may not be as smart as you, but we figured it out okay." Temari called back. She gave him a saucy wink, and he looked away, red.

Baki looked at Temari.

"What?" He asked.

Kiba was the next to run forward.

"Hey, hey!" He barked, Akamaru too, "Are we gonna fix this or what?"

Gaara felt Neji's hand on his shoulder.

"Gaara, you have three seconds to let go of my cousin."

"I would if I could." He growled back. It was just…she was him, but his body was so cool and pale, and it squished against hers nicely. Which was totally weird and wrong, but he couldn't help himself.

Kankuro was walking forward, grinning. Gaara inwardly winced. He would never live this down, ever. Since he and his brother had become more like family, the older was constantly looking for reasons to tease him… he cursed over and over in his head.

"So, Gaara, you ready to go back to Suna or are you content to stay her like that?" Frankly, Gaara couldn't tell if he meant 'in a girls body,' or 'hugging the girl.'

A groan from Hinata startled them all and all attention was brought back to her.

Hinata

She felt warm and comfortable, as though she was already back in her own bed, content under the blankets. Instead, she found herself wrapped in, not clothe, but her own arms and her own chest.

"AIIEEEEE!" She screamed, jumping away from herself. She couldn't help but notice a faint look of disappointment on her face, which immediately turned to immense relief.

She was enveloped by hugs from the Konoha Shinobi.

Neji was there first, squeezing her in relief, Kiba soon after and Shino (annoyed) because Kiba had pulled him in. Lee cried of youthfulness and grabbed them all in a hug, Shikamaru included, who murmured 'troublesome.'

"Oh Hinata-san!" Lee was saying, "We were all so worried about you!"

Hinata felt herself blush with a shy smile.

Baki

This was wrong on so many levels. They were all hugging Gaara. He was smiling and blushing. And Temari and Kankuro were patting the Hyuuga girl on the back and grinning. He was so confused.

Temari

She saw the twitch on her sensei's face first. She nudged her brothers and they all plugged their ears.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!?!?" Baki screamed as loud as he could, exploding into a mass of rage, fear, confusion and curtains.
