(For Any Future Notest This Isn't Really A Chapter. It's Just Explaining Part On How Both Temari And Shikamaru Are Feeling And What Led Temari To Go To konoha. You Can Skip It If You'd Like. I Would Too. But, that Doesn't mean It Sucks)

I Do Have A Habbit Of Capitalizing The First Letter In Every Word.. This Is The First Story I Have Ever Written.. So Its Not THAT Good But It Wont Suck... Im Tierd... Plz Review?

A/N: I Dont Own Naruto.. IF I Did own naruto Anko M. Will betray her Village For Orochimaru, Temari and Shikamaru Would Apear More Often And They'd Be Dating.

He Ran. Holding Her Hand He Ran. As Fast As He Could. Over The Hill And Farther Away.. Into A Place They Could Call Their Own. Their Paradise. No One Else Could Invade And Taint This. No One. During The Day They Where Normal. Two People From Two Different Lives. But At Night They Belonged Together. At Night No One Could Separate Them.

She Ran Along By His Side Until They Met At An Opening, Within The Forest. His Hands Tightened Around Hers All He Wanted To Do Was Hold Her. Love Her, The Way She Should Be Loved. He Wanted Nothing More Then To See Her. He Knew This By The Way His Heart Raced. But, In This Dream. Her Face He Did Not See.

He Wished The Night Could Stay Forever. So He'd Never Have To Leave Her. Be Away From Her. "I Wish The Night Could Hold You Where I Can See You... My Love" He Said. The Words Coming Out On Their Own. He Knew He Would Never Say Such A Thing. He Held Her. Tightly. Never Wanting To Let Her Go. She Smelled So Sweet.

But, Then As Their Lips Where About To Connect The Sun Started To Rise Again. They Gave Each Other One More Squeeze Before Heading In Different Direction.

He Awoke Then.

She Was Standing In The Middle Of A Room. It Was A Dark Room That Seemed To Never End. Images Around Her Began To Appear, Moving Fast. Then They Slowed, And She Wished They Didn't. In Front Of Her Was The Image Of Her 'friends'. In What Seemed Like A Shop. She Seemed To Have A Conversation With Them, They Nodded And Smiled. But, As Soon As She Turned Around Their Smiles Turned Into Hateful Glares. She Knew That They All Hated Her. But, She Wanted To Live In This Lie.

"How Long Will It Take Before You See?" a Voice Whispered.

She Turned Around. To Her Right. Hoping That The Images Would Fade Away. But, Instead She Saw Herself. Alone. In A Forest. Her Knees Bruised, Face Red And Sweaty, All Parts In Her Body Hurt, As Though, She Was Reliving What She Was Seeing. In Her Mind She Remembered The Hours She Had Spend Training. Day After Day She Trained, Barely Ate Barely Slept. All She Wanted Was To Become Stronger. So, Maybe Then Shed Get Accepted. Maybe Then She Wont Be Just 'her' In A Family Such As The One She Has. The Topic No One Talked About. The Disgrace.

"How Many Times Have I Done This, To Myself?" Her Own Voice Whispered.

A Couple. Young Streaming Around. Hand Held Tightly. They Seemed Familiar. But Who Where They?. Her Heart Hurts Now. She Remembered Her Own Loneliness. Her Life... In Solitude.

She Then Woke Up. Her Hair Was In Her Face. Sweat Running Down Her Body. She Was Breathing Fast.

Temari Sat Up Rubbing Her Eyes, She Notest They Where Wet. Tears. Many Feelings Ran Threw Her. Breaking Her Into So Many Pieces. Her Teal Eyes Shifted Towards The Window Across Her Room. Hands Gripping The Sheets. Temari Whispered To Herself "who Is Left Alone.. But Me?" Her Voice Coming Out Pained.

Temari Heard A Knock At The Door. Shifting Her Eyes Away From The Window The Door Opened And In Stepped Gaara. His Arms Where Crossed, Eyes Looking Over Her In Question, But Nothing Else. Emotionless. He Was Dressed In A Pair Of Red Pajamas. "are You Okay?" He Asked Walking Towards His Older Sister.

She Nodded, Her Face Shimmering With Sweat, Eyes Red And Tierd. He Motioned For Her To Lay Down And She Did So. While She Was Laying Down He Tucked Her In. " I Don't Believe You.."

"I Just Had A Bad Bream. Thats All" She Replied Cooly.

"Tomorrow, As Your Aware, I'm Leaving To Konoha. I'm Taking You With Me. I'll Be Doing All The Work, Temari, All You Need Is Time Out. So, You'll Be Relaxing While We Are There."

"Why...?"

"Because You Need.. To Relax For A While.. I Don't Feel Like Explaining Right Now. First Think Tomorrow Were Gone.."

"Gaara.. "

"I Can See Your Deeply Trouble Temari"

Something Snapped Within Temari Then. She Felt Like Giving In And Forming Her Pain Into Words.

"Sometimes I Wish I Can Go... Its Easier To Run, Or I Believe. Its Easier To Run, Then Face All This.. This.." Her Words Where Jammed Within Her Throat And She Found Herself Speechless.

"Go On.."

"Pain.. In My Dreams I Remember.." Her Words Drifted Of Into Silence.

"The Darkness Of Your Past." Gaara Made It Simpler, And She Knew That He Knew What She Was Talking About. A Secret No One Outside The Family Knew.

"..yes, That. They Bring Up All These Memories.. I..I Just Wish They Where Gone.."

Gaara Looked Out The Window. Surely If She Went To Konoha She'll Get Distracted For A While. She Wouldn't Be Surrounded By People That Only Reminded Her Of Past Events. "get Some Sleep, You'll Need It For The Trip" With That He Was Gone.
