Chapter 1 meetings and greetings
- Tenten -
She hated to lose. She hated to lose at anything, which was a problem since she would never back down from a challenge. She had lost a bet with her friend ino. She had lost when ino had bet that tenten could not spar with neji in a dress. She was right. Tenten scowled.
"Now what do I have to do since I lost?" mumbled the unhappy 13 year old girl.
"Hmm… let's see her. There are so many options!" Ino grinned and tossed her long blonde hair
Tenten rolled her eyes.
"Come on; tell me what hell you have in store for me. I no you're dieing to"
"Ok ok… since you lost our little bet, you have to make the beds next time we have guests in the tower."
"That's it?" tenten asked, surprised.
"Yup, that's it! I absolutely despise making beds!" replied ino.
Just at that moment, lee jumped out of nowhere saying "tsunade-sama would like all the occupants of the genin tower to report to her office immediately!" he cried and they all dashed to the hokage's tower.
with kankuro -
"Remind me again why we're going all the way to konoha?" groaned kankuro.
"Stop complaining for once in your life!" snapped temari.
He really pissed her off sometimes.
"You know why we're going!"
"Why? To see your boyfriend, oh what's his face…? Shikamaru!" kankuro replied smugly.
Temari turned red with rage and embarrassment
"I'm gonna kick your-"
"Shut up" interrupted Gaara.
"You're giving me a headache"
They shut their mouths and glared daggers at each other. A few minutes later temari announced. "We're almost there"
"Hn" scoffed kankuro when they reached the gates. When the guards asked to see their passes, Gaara stepped foreword and said "I am the kazekage of the sand, here on hokage tsunade's request." The guards opened the gates and the sand siblings passed into konoha.
- with tenten –
"What is it, tsunade-sama?" asked naruto once all the genin and shikamaru were assembled.
"I have called you here to tell you that the kazekage and his siblings will be here to help reconstruct konahgakure, so please do not attack if you see sand village shinobi walking these halls. The kazekage says that he is in debt to konoha after the misunderstanding with orochimaru. He says that the sand village will do whatever they can to help konoha."
All of them were shocked. Gaara had offered to help konoha? It had only been a year since the chunin exams, had he really changed that much? They all snapped out of deep thought when tsunade said "tenten, ino, sakura, and Hinata, you will make temari's room up in the spare 2 story tower room." After the orochimaru incident, all the genin and chunin were require to live in the tower next to the hokage's. And the rest of you can make up the room for kankuro. You are to set up the rooms before they arrive today. Dismissed." Tsunade shooed them out of her office. The kazekage would be staying in her tower, as was the custom.
"Do you really think that Gaara has changed so much?" asked sakura, still shocked.
"Why are you asking me, forehead girl?" ino scowled as she swept temari's floor.
"I wasn't asking you, ino-pig" sakura seethed.
Tenten sighed. "Have you ever seen them get along?" she asked Hinata.
The shy girl shook her head.
"Alright, the work is done, so can you please stop fighting?" asked Hinata in a quiet voice.
The two girls opened their mouths to protest but thought better of it and shut up.
"So, if Gaara has changed so much, do you think kankuro and temari have, too?" asked tenten in an attempt to start a conversation.
"I don't know. It's a possibility. I hope so…" said sakura.
"So do I" said tenten, grimacing as she remembered how temari had mercilessly beaten the stuffing out of her at the chunin exams.
At that moment, naruto ran up the stairs screaming "their here!" and he ran back down. The four girls followed him to the entrance hall to show temari her room.
"Where are they?" asked ino impatiently.
"They are just outside-"lee was cut off by a feminine voice roaring
"Kankuro, you BAKKA!!!!" and a male voice screaming back
"It's not my fault!! If you had just carried your own bags this wouldn't have happened!!"
Temari stormed in looking furious followed by a very pissed off looking kankuro. Temari caught sight of the four girls and the older girl exclaimed
"Oh my god!! It's been so long since I've talked to a girl!! I think kankuro repels them all with his make-up!" she smirked.
"It's not make up, god damnit! It's paint! P-A-I-N-T!!! PAINT!!" he roared. Temari rolled her eyes. "Whatever doll boy" she said
"Hurry up and bring my bags!"
Kankuro scowled and dragged her bags up the stairs as he followed the girls up the
Stairs. Ino, sakura, Hinata, and temari got into a serious discussion about the latest
in desert fashion. Tenten, not being at all interested in mini skirts and tube tops,
lagged behind and fell into step with kankuro.
"Need any help with those?"
