Don't know why but I love this pairing and also: (Disclaimer I don't own Naruto or anything manga or anime related) couldn't find Temari's real last name so I used the full name of the sand village
Probably an over done idea but I like it: Naruto and Temari are arranged to marry after the attack on Konoha by the sound and sand, Temari admittedly is quite happy with the arrangement but not Naruto. Can this two survive a one-way love in their married life?
"Speech"
'Thought'
A Fan Girl? a
Temari was back in the hidden sand village and was cloud watching. Now normally she didn't do this but since the attack on the hidden leaf village she had gained an infatuation with a boy. Anyone who looked at her behavior knew it but they guessed it was the one she fought in the chuunin exam, Shikamaru but they'd be wrong. Garra was the only one who knew for sure and only because he read her diary.
"Naruto Uzumaki" he murmured to himself "you'd better not break her heart" Garra knew that Naruto was a good guy, after all he managed to save Garra from himself. Temari suddenly jumped when a sand ANBU appeared right above of her.
"Temari, the council wishes to see you."
"Me? What for?" it normally was unusual that the council would call on a gennin but she was the daughter of the now late Kazekage.
"I was only told to retrieve you, so come with me" but as the ANBU reached for her Garra's sand encased his arm and he looked to the assailant.
"Do not touch her!" Garra spoke in almost a whisper to show that he was serious, "I will escort her" and with that he released the ANBU, and the ANBU not ready to die retreated. Temari was smiling at her little brother she couldn't help but feel happy he hadn't killed anything in a while and also had become very protective of her and Kankuro.
As the three walked through the halls they could feel the air get more and more intense as if a death sentence was being issued.
"Do you guys feel that?" Kankuro said as the air gave a dreaded feel like when Garra released his demon.
"yeah" came Garra's monotone
As bad as it felt for the other two all Temari could do was gulp, because she knew whatever the council wanted it had to with her.
It only got worse when they entered, all the councilors themselves looked nervous. At the center of the table was the temporary head councilor acting as a subsatute for the Kazekage. He was by far the oldest, still fairly tall he was bald but his beard reached the floor even when standing and his voice still held power despite the deception the years have had on him.
"Temari daughter of the Kazekage, do you know why we called you?" his booming voice demanded. She simply shook her head "We have called you in regard to the state of Suna, after the discovery of the late Kazekage we tried to reestablish the alliance between us and Konoha. With their lack of a Hokage and our lack of a Kazekage, they refused on answering until they appointed a new Hokage or at lest until we sent a different sort of treaty to their council."
"What do you mean Head councilor?" Temari felt something bad was coming but she knew it might just be superstion from her years of ninja training.
"First there is more to discuses, do you remember your report on a Naruto Uzumaki?" at this Temari nodded "I've had my personal research team look into him, at the Konoha academy he scored the lowest in everything up to the graduation exam" Temari's eye began to twitch 'How could he use Jonin level jutsu when he couldn't even use academy level ones?' "but it stands to reason that this was caused by him being a Jinchuriki as well" everyone's eye shot to the head councilor
"But head councilor, if he too is a Jinchuriki why did you?" spoke one of the other older men in complete confusion.
The head councilor put his hand up to silence him "there's still more" after everyone was quite again he continued "he was assigned to train under the copy ninja Kakashi" everyone's eyes widened at this "and the toad sage Jiraiya has taken him as a disciple" at this point the councilors were starting to sweat "and based on Temari's description on the toad he summoned during his battle with Garra it was the chief toad" at this point the others began to tremble. Temari was beginning to fear where this was going, she feared that this was the beginning of a assassination mission.
"The last report even said he's learned the fourth Hokage's legacy" the council looked at him with wide eyes "YES, he learned the Rasengan and has found and earned the respect of their new Hokage, Tsunade of the legendary three. She has even given him the First Hokage's necklace. From this information it's quite possible we could have a second Yellow flash of Konoha on our hands" everyone was stunned.
"Now Temari your mission is a triple S-rank" she wanted to cry she knew it, she and her brother were going to kill him before he could become the next Yellow flash, after clamping her eye's shut and kept telling her self she wasn't going to do it, she couldn't do it. "Is to marry and have children with Naruto Uzumaki"
The emotions in the room were all over the map, ranging from pure fear from Kankuro to an unbelievable ease from Garra, a sense of pity from the ANBU who heard the rumor of her and the boy from the Nara clan, and of course the dread of the council. How could they not be dreading her response, she herself was pretty strong, Kankuro was no push over and of course Garra, his sudden change was no secret after all he put twelve ANBU in the hospital the day they got back when one of the ANBU called Temari a failure for not being able keep Garra under control. When was asked why he said 'I will not tolerate someone insulting my family.' So if she got upset things would get ugly.
Temari though was trying to piece things together in her head.
'Marry Naruto Uzumaki, not that I complaining but the way they went on about how he's developed and what he could be like in a few years it sounded like they wanted me to kill him' as she looked in to space and the council began squirming in their seats because they could tell what she was thinking but Garra did, and he was wearing an ever so slight smile. Temari was re-running the moment she fell in love with him in her head. Granted it wasn't the most graceful finishing blow but the head-butt he gave Garra only showed just how powerful his dedication and will power were.
The council froze as they saw a smile beginning to form on her, they thought for sure that she was ready to have Garra and Kankuro help her paint the walls with their blood for having her assigned to this mission.
"I Temari Sunagakure accept this mission and will perform to the best of my ability" To say that Kankuro and the council were surprised would the understatement of the century. With eyes as wide as dinner plates and jaws hitting the floor at the way she looked so…happy?
"Temari! You don't have to do this if don't want to." And as she was going to off on some sprawl about her duty as a ninja Garra butted in with a simple…
"I approve" in his monotone. Temari was thanking him in her mind at this simple gesture but Kankuro…
"Garra! Why would you approve of this she…" but before he could finish his thought Garra said his reason as to why.
"She has a crush on him" Everyone looked at the sand controller not being able to believe it.
"Want makes you think that Garra?" Temari asked with a tomato blush.
"I read it in that hand written book that you keep under your pillow" at that Temari had an expression not unlike that which the councilors wore not but five minutes ago and all was silent for about… thirty seconds before Temari yelled at the top of her lungs,
"YOU READ MY DAIRY?" now had Garra been raised normally he would not have asked what seems like a dumb question
"What's a dairy?" It took Kankuro all his willpower not to laugh while Temari and the council had sweat dropped at this but Temari just sighed and decided to tell him later.
"Any details I need to know?" the head councilor stood and began a run down of was to be done before her trip.
"You leave in two days. Kankuro will be copying the family scrolls for you while Garra will be helping prepare a banquette for you that is to double as your wedding shower, when you arrive at Konoha introduce yourself to the new Hokage, that is all, dismissed!"
And with that the council left very confused as to what to just happened. The sand siblings all went to do what they needed to. Teamri headed to her room to pack and her sensei Baki was there waiting.
"I'm going to help you pack" was all he said and three hours of uncomfortable silence later they were done. Then Kankuro came by and gave her several scrolls. Then she went out.
She went along a street she knew well just staring off into space, now this was common to the people of hidden sand but the look on Temari's face was not. Her eyes were glazed over with an unnaturally happy smile with a bit of drool coming from the left corner of her mouth. The news of her triple s-rank mission spread like wild fire but the important details like the groom to be were not.
A group of Kunoichi stops her from continuing on, they were people she had gone on missions with and came to be sort of friends with her.
"Wow girl is the idea of marrying that Shikamaru guy really make you that happy" in her current state one would think that she had become catatonic but that statement was enough to get her angry.
"*sigh* why dose everyone think I like him, cause I don't. I'm happy because I'm getting married to the guy I like which is Naruto Uzumaki" that name could sent chills though the hidden sand village even on the hottest day. Every sand ninja was afraid of Naruto not because he looked or acted in a scary way but because of what he did to Garra even when he was in his perfect possession state. In short Naruto was already the second most feared ninja in sand history right behind the Yellow flash himself. Mothers were even using Naruto in stories of what happens to bad children. So at the groom's name the group of eight Kunoichi found themselves shacking in fear of what would happen if he came here.
"T-t-t-tthat MONSTER?" now Temari was used to people calling her brother that and she was ordered by her father to tolerate it but the order was only on her brother, so she would not tolerate it about her husband. In less than a second after it was said the offender found her face had become acquainted with the paythment courtesy of her battle fan.
"Do not call him THAT" she snarled the ones still standing now knewand just nodded their heads.
"I had to listen to people call Garra that, I won't listen to people call Naruto-kun that" the eyes of the female ninja went wide so fast they looked comparable to frogs. Temari was serous she liked him.
"Well good, you got he guy you like!" mussed the shortest member of the Kunoichi. She was about the same height as Naruto but had long black hair with her arms, legs, and stomach covered in fish net and the rest of her was a basic black outfit. While her response made Temari happy everyone else stared at her with a 'are you crazy?' look.
"My wedding shower is tonight, your all welcome provided you don't make any snide comments about Naruto-kun ." the girls all nodded and ran off to get Temari her gifts.
Meanwhile:
"*achoo* *sniff* I must have a cold" Narto said to no one in pertickular but everyone had a bad feeling about going back to the village.
'Why do I feel that I should take Naruto off training? Sure he'll need it later but not right now. Just something's happening under our noses' thought Jiraiya.
'Why do I feel like smashing in sculls?' thought Tsunade, she been feeling it since the day started and Naruto kept sneezing.
'I wonder if I should give Naruto "the talk"? I doubt anyone else has and I'm getting a weird feeling' Shuzune thought, weird thoughts for sure but she kept getting the idea that he needed it soon.
"Something big is going on" Naruto finally voiced.
"What makes you say that" questioned Tsunade.
"just a feeling"
