Hinata and Haniba were walking iichi and trinity down the streets of suna when they saw the group. Kiba,neji,naruto,Sakura,tenten, and ino were standing by a coffin shop in the way of hinata and her sister. Haniba had picked up trinity who growled at the strangers even though she was still tiny. Hinata held iichi's leash tight and grabbed her sisters hand, as they walked past the groTbrup not turning to look at them.
Neji bolted up right from his seat at the table and rushed to the sisters however he only came with in arms reach because iichi was in attack dog mode and made it clear he didn't like the strangers. Neji stared at the sister with a guilty look as he reached out a hand to touch Haniba a gust of sand made him quickly retreat.
Gaara stood in the way pulling iichi back in line as hinata let her arm relax at the ease of tension on the leash. Gaara looked the group over and stopped on naruto's face but it only lasted a second because Haniba had grabbed hold of his tank top pulling him in the direction of his house. He followed as she pulled him slightly. They soon caught up with hinata and walked back together in silence. Once inside the house Haniba hugged gaara tightly who put trinity down on the floor. As Haniba hugged him tightly he pulled hinata into the hug as well giving her a reassuring kiss as they group hugged.
