Temari had always been a bit of a tomboy, always aggressive and trying to outdo her brothers. Maybe it was this that had caused her to be the way she was. Now, here she was by herself in Konoha and finding herself wishing she had someone to love and care for her. More importantly she wanted someone to bring back to Sunagakure with her to enjoy the wind and sand. Gaara knew of her reason for visiting Konoha and kept his opinions to himself. Temari was happy that her brother, the Kazekage understood her need to do this. She hoped that would be the case when she brought someone back with her. Kankuro seemed to think it was a foolish idea, judging by what he had last said to her. "You're too rough Temari. I figure that you'll come back empty handed like you always do." Temari had answered him by punching him. She knew what she was looking for and more importantly she knew how to get it.

A month had gone by with no success. She had tried dating several male ninja she knew in the village and every one of them had said pretty much the same thing that Kankuro had said, albeit in a nicer way. That was when everything changed for her. She had just about given up hope when she was tapped lightly on the shoulder. She turned and saw Sakura standing there. Temari looked a bit puzzled by this and then Sakura smiled and spoke. "Hey Temari, I had heard you were in town. Word also has it that you've been looking for someone special. I was wondering. If you don't have anything better to do, would you like to go out on a date?" Temari just stood there in shock. It was surprising to be asked out by another Kunoichi. Temari instantly agreed. She felt that maybe her luck at finding love may have just changed for the better.

Sakura led Temari around Konoha as the two talked. Temari was busy in her own mind making sure she didn't misspeak during their conversation. She wanted this to be perfect and was afraid she might say something that would offend Sakura. Sakura was smiling the entire time. Temari wished that this would be the person she could bring back home with her. How Gaara and Kankuro would react she had no idea but as long as she was happy she wouldn't care. Then the realization hit her. How in the world would she convince Sakura to leave Konoha? For now Temari just had to play it by ear as their date continued. Sakura and Temari walked all over Konoha visiting the various shops. They got a bite to eat at the dango shop. Temari was surprised that Sakura liked those. She had always thought them too sweet for Sakura's taste. The dango sold at that shop were a favorite of Temari's and she always tried to stop by the shop every time she was in Konoha. Temari smiled at Sakura and for the first time since she had arrived here a month ago did she feel truly happy.

Temari was still surprised by how much she was enjoying this. She knew though, that at the end of it all she would have to make a choice. That choice was, keep her new found love for Sakura to herself and go back to Sunagakure, letting the one she loved stay in her home village or tell Sakura everything and ask her to come back to Sunagakure with her and leave behind everything she's ever known. It was a tough choice to make but Temari had to decide. That was when Sakura turned everything upside down. Sakura and Temari had ended up out at the Memorial Stone. The evening light of sunset covered everything in a liquid gold color. Temari thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.

As the sun set Sakura spoke quietly, "Temari, I don't quite know how to put this. Maybe it's just because I'm so confused by how I feel. It's like my mind has been lying to me this entire time by tricking me into thinking I loved Sasuke or Naruto and could never decide between the two. Now I see why I could never decide. I always thought you were pretty since the day we first met during the Chunin exam. Something in my mind was trying to say something more but the way you were back then put it out of my mind. Then I saw you around Konoha again, two years after Sasuke left. Time seemed to have made you even more beautiful and with that time came some grace it seemed. This date today has proven me right."

Temari stood there in shock at what was being said. Did this mean Sakura felt the same way? Temari listened as Sakura continued. "I guess what I'm getting to is this. Temari, I've liked you for a long time. The funny thing is I didn't realize just how much until today. When I saw you walking down the street I made up my mind to ask you out on a date. I wanted to see if my mind was right and it was. The only thing I cannot bring myself to do is ask you one small thing." Temari spoke quietly, finding her voice amid her surprise. "Anything you ask can be done if you wish it. I too have just realized how much I like you. It seems the passage of time has found us both in the same spot. A little older and far more beautiful, in fact Sakura, I would go as far as to say you are far more beautiful than the sunset today."

Sakura smiled. She had never had that said to her in her life and it gave her the confidence to ask her question. "The thing I wish for is to be with you. I want to see a part of you no one had ever seen before. I don't mind leaving Konoha if it means I can be with you. I'll even transfer into Sunagakure's Medical Corps. I want you, Temari. All of you, the good , the bad, all of it. I love you." Sakura blushed at how easy it all just came out in the end. She hadn't meant for it to come out like that.

Temari simply smiled and said, "I know exactly how you feel. I want someone to see a different side of me. I want someone I can share that with. I'm glad that you would be willing to go to such lengths just for me. You don't even know how good a kisser I am yet." Temari had meant that line to be a slight joke but Sakura took her up on the chance. Sakura leaned in, hugged Temari and kissed her. Temari was taken aback by this but relaxed a bit a moment after. The scene could not have been more perfect had they planned it. A kiss in the twilight of the day. The moment had been perfect and the opportunity had not been wasted. Temari could not have imagined anything better. The kiss lasted for only a minute but to them it seemed as though time itself had stopped. Temari smiled as the kiss ended, the two of them still close together with their arms around each other.

The stars were coming out one by one as the two stood there. Temari spoke, breaking the momentary silence. "That was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. Night is falling and unless you want to continue this out under the stars I suggest we go find a place for the night." Sakura smiled, kissed Temari again and then said, "If it weren't for the fact that it is getting a little cold I would love to be with you like that under the stars. I know of a perfect place to go though. My house is not too far away." Temari kissed Sakura and replied, "Well then we better get going to your place. I do have one thing to say before we go though. If you do come back with me to Sunagakure you may just get your wish of being with me with nothing but stars above us." Sakura smiled and lead the way to her house.

Sakura seemed to be quite the housekeeper by Temari's guess. Sakura's room was nearly spotless save for her bed which was a tangle of un-straightened sheets. Both of them sat on her bed after she moved the sheets out of the way. The two of them stretched out on the bed and just relaxed for a moment. The moment came in its own sweet time. The two kissed once more before Sakura spoke. "I've made up my mind. I'll go back to Sunagakure with you. A part of me will miss Konoha but the other part wishes to be with you more. Right now, in this moment, I want to be with you in every way possible, body, mind and heart. The question is, will you let me see you at your most vulnerable? It will go both ways too. We'll both see each other with nothing left to hide, with our guard completely down. I love you Temari and I..."

Sakura was interrupted by Temari's sudden kiss. Temari put all of her passion into it and after a minute told Sakura her answer. "I will be more than happy to let you see me at my most vulnerable. I want you to see me with my guard down and nothing left to hide. I want you. I love you too, Sakura." She kissed Sakura once again and this time let her hands wander. She felt every curve of Sakura's body through her clothes. Temari then noticed her hands were not the only ones exploring. Sakura's were doing the same and there was something else. Sakura was searching for the zipper that undid Temari's top. Temari smiled and, without much searching, found and undid Sakura's zipper. As she did so she felt hers being undone as well. Their tops were cast onto the floor without concern for where they landed. The light chainmail Temari wore followed her top as they both took care of finishing undressing themselves. Temari saw it as less fun but faster, and she was starting to get impatient.

For the first time they both saw each other entirely naked. Moonlight filtered in through the window, giving everything a light blue cast. The light of the moon and the starlight that came into the room allowed them to see everything. Temari smiled as she pushed Sakura flat on the bed as gently as possible. Time ran slow for them, everything seemed like it lasted forever. Temari kissed Sakura once more and then slid a hand down the front of Sakura's body. Temari could feel every muscle and was a bit surprised by how soft Sakura's breasts were as she massaged each of them in turn. Sakura let out a soft noise as Temari continued. Temari continued going farther down Sakura's body until she ended up in between Sakura's legs. Sakura audibly moaned this time before saying, "Come on Temari, I want to feel your touch inside me." Sakura put her hand over Temari's and lightly pushed. Temari smiled and got the idea. With a little guidance from Sakura's touch, Temari slid a finger inside of Sakura. The feeling was unlike any other Temari had ever experienced. She used her finger to rub at several spots inside Sakura. Sakura moaned once again, her back arching and relaxing in rhythm. Temari kept at it until she found a spot that seemed to be more sexually exciting than the others before. Sakura moaned a little louder now as Temari focused on it. Sakura finally let out a long loud moan as she finally came. Temari felt the orgasm happen and slowly came to a stop. She licked her hand clean and then kissed Sakura.

Sakura had thought that kind of pleasure was impossible but she had been proven wrong. She smiled as now she turned her attention to Temari. "Your turn now Temari. I hope you get as much pleasure out of it as I did." Temari let Sakura take over and for the first time in her life was submissive to someone else. Sakura would definitely make it worth it though. Temari was a bit surprised by how gentle Sakura was with everything. Sakura started out rather simply with a kiss and a single hand tracing a soft line down Temari's body. Temari couldn't hold back a soft noise as it left her out of delight. She was enjoying this more than she had thought she would. Sakura's hand slowly reached its intended destination after a little bit of teasing here and there. Temari found it was impossible to hold back her body's natural reaction to the sensation of Sakura's fingers inside of her. Temari let out a moan as Sakura began to play with her. A sense of pure pleasure totally enveloped Temari's world as Sakura continued playing with her. Sakura then did something Temari found unexpected. A kiss found Temari's lips and then worked its way down her body. Temari gasped in pleasure as Sakura's kisses reached where her hand was. Sakura then started to lick around inside Temari. Temari let out a louder moan than before and put her hands on the back of Sakura's head, encouraging her to go deeper in. Sakura did, making Temari's unspoken request reality. Temari felt it had gone on for hours, each moment brought more pleasure than the last. Temari let out a sighing moan as she finally felt the release of an orgasm. Sakura continued licking around inside her to make sure she got every last bit of pleasure out of it possible.

Sakura kissed Temari immediately after, allowing Temari a taste of herself. The kiss continued as the two laid there in a warm embrace. Temari broke the kiss after a bit to say, "That, was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Hopefully when we do this under nothing but the stars it is just as good if not better. I loved how that felt and I love you Sakura. You just turned my world upside down and in quite the good way." Sakura smiled and replied, "I enjoyed that too. I know that when we do this under the stars of Sunagakure it will be better. Tonight we'll sleep and tomorrow we'll figure out what we need to do so we can go back to your home. Of course there is the obvious fact that I need to tell Tsunade about this but like I said. That can wait until morning." Temari smiled and gave Sakura another kiss before cuddling up with her for the night. The only thing watching them that night were the stars and the two of them would sleep soundly in each other's arms.

(Author's note: Well it has been a while since I last put something up here. Another Naruto yuri pairing. This one I tried to write as much of it from Temari's point of view as possible. I'll continue this one for a bit I think. Probably four chapters or so. I love these two characters and this pairing is actually kind of fun to work out. Hopefully you all enjoyed it as well. Keep reading and enjoy. )
