Chapter 1
Please Read Before Jumping To Conclusions!
Hi there reader-friend! I would just like to put a disclaimer up because of a recent review I received.
Please don't judge this, or any story, by what the main parings are. You never know what you're going to find inside.
You might find a favorite author, story, or something you would like to follow. Stories should be judged by their authors
writing abilities and their ideas. A story by Kaotic312 entitled Three Months has
so many different parings it will make your head explode. But in a good way! So please do me a favor, author to author, don't
judge or be ignorant of a couple so much that you skip a story that you may end up liking. Go give Three Months a try.
Thank You and God bless.
Temari P.O.V
My alarm went off just like it did every day; either that or I would sleep the day away! But today was the first day back to school so obviously I had to get up, tough it out, and go. I hit the button on my phone to make the noise shut up since I have the unfortunate problem of being scared by the ringtone I had chosen.
I threw my legs off the bed and sat with my hands on my face and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. It felt amazing. I stood fully up now and stretched and looked around the room; it was still a mess and I still needed to put my clothes away. I rolled my eyes back to the door since I just heard a noise coming from down stairs. Now normally I could say without a doubt it was either Gaara or Kankuro; but not today. I hadn't seen them much, if not at all this summer so I wasn't entirely sure why they would be here now.
I didn't know nor cared about the reason right now, but I was going to give whoever it was a piece of my mind. I threw open the door and went down stairs only to see my brothers fighting over a freaking cookie. What the h*ll?
"Gaara give it to me, it's the last one." Kankuro said. Quite angrily I might add.
"No."
It was a typical Gaara response. Nothing odd there.
"Come on now! That's not fair!"
"You're stupid." And with that said Gaara popped the cookie in his mouth and chewed slowly just to annoy Kankuro further.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my two lil brother's fighting. Normally not such a big deal but when the h*ll did you decide to come home?"
They turned and looked at me as soon as the first word was out of my mouth. Heck they turned so fast I'm surprised they didn't have whiplash.
"Hey there Temari good to see ya." Kankuro said.
"Hn." I raised a brow at my youngest brother's response.
Oh well, I suppose it was better than just a head nod.
Yet I had this feeling nagging at me that something was a bit off. Sure from the outside most people would say they were fine, but I was their sister and there was something definitely not fine about them. "Are you gunna answer the d*mn question? Why are you here now? Where have you been?"
Kankuro looked over to Gaara from his peripheral vision. I narrowed my eyes at them both. "Nowhere really. I guess we were out a bit more than usual so you didn't catch us whenever we got home."
I rubbed my eyes and gave up then and there; I was not getting a confession out of them right now. "Whatever, I'm going to shower; do you guys need a ride today?"
"No we have a car."
I looked over to Gaara since he was the one that had spoken. "Alright…well I'm going up, see ya later."
Then I turned and went back up the stairs and into my bathroom. Right as I was closing the door I could hear them starting to argue again thanks to Kankuro's big mouth. I really didn't care enough to go back down or even to call out to them to chill out so I let the door shut and turned to get undressed to shower.
Kankuro and Gaara
"That was a little too close for comfort you little prick. The next time you want us to be exposed go ahead and just let our sister know everything."
Gaara turned to face his brother after the comment he had just made and narrowed his eyes slightly; then he punched him square in the face.
The blow made Kankuro land on his butt and slide a little since the floor was made of linoleum. Gaara looked unfazed by what he had done and started looking in the fridge to get something to drink.
"What the h*ll Gaara?!" Kankuro yelled at his moving brother.
Gaara finished pouring his drink into a glass; he downed the liquid then put the glass into the sink before answering his brother three seconds later. "The next time you want to accuse me of something that was your doing I'll happily show you something that truly is of my doing. Understand?"
The older brother got off the floor and dusted himself off then said "Yeah, sure. But that doesn't mean you have to use your speed to get a drink in five seconds."
The red head had been standing in the doorway to the kitchen facing the stairs and when his brother mentioned speed he turned his head back and looked and him. "It doesn't matter. Let's go."
Then he headed out the door. Kankuro tried to state that leaving early might make Temari suspicious but Gaara was already gone. The kid never slowed down, even before the surgery.
Kankuro left the house in a flash and as he closed the door and walked to his brother's car he thought: 'Odd that Gaara still has the same personality from before even though that's supposed to change after the procedure, at least that's what they said. Oh well.' He got into the car and they drove away.
Temari P.O.V
I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me and then went back to my room. I went to my closet and pulled out what I thought would be the perfect outfit for the first day of school. Who was I kidding? It was perfect. I walked out of my room and jogged down the stairs and back into the kitchen and I saw that my brothers were gone. As turned to leave the room I stopped for a second to think. They never leave earlier than me. Why would they start now?
I shrugged it off since there wasn't anything I could do about it and I wasn't going to waste my time thinking it through.
I looked at the clock and saw that I only had fifteen minutes to get to school; I grabbed something to drink and a few oranges and headed out the door. I got into my car and as I was backing up someone just came out of nowhere, and of course they were speeding. So I had to break and make myself feel nauseous because of it. "Hey!" I shouted at the car.
I knew it was pointless so I shook it off and backed out the rest of the way and drove to school.
When I got to the school parking lot I finished up my oranges then I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. I closed the door and walked toward the front of the building where I knew my friends would be. As I walked I saw the groups of people I was so anxious to get away and move on from and thought to myself that this is the reason why people can't wait for summer to start.
The stereotypes were just endless and I could go on and on about them and complain that they were pointless wastes that should be removed from existence, but it was too early to rant. I saw the jocks laughing and slapping each other's butt's then check out the cheerleaders who were standing close enough to hear the cat calls being whistled their way and respond with sickening winks and shouts. I rolled my eyes at it and continued on past the kids who wore the dark clothes and were rebellious in their own ways that always seemed apathetic.
Then the other kids that didn't really have a certain clique name that were friends with each other, like I was with my own friends, those people seemed to be the ones that made a lot more sense. No school could ever have only a certain amount of cliques, someone would always make another one up because they wanted to. I saw Sakura's pink hair and a blond ponytail near her; I knew I would find them easily. I was almost there when some girl walked in front of me and we bumped into each other making the two of us fall back a little.
"Would you watch where you're going you dumb blond?! And they say I need glasses, sh*t!" Her group cackled at that.
"Wow Karin your name calling has become even better. Thank you for coming up with something so original and refreshing. I honestly don't know how you do it and I would say I don't care but I don't even have that in me." I replied.
"Now if you'll just get out of my way. Thanks." I finished; leaving Karin to gossip and spread rumors with her friends.
"You had better watch yourself you blond-bimbo because one day you may just get what's coming to you!" Karin yelled after me. Then she walked away with her friend's right behind her.
I rolled my eyes and walked quickly to my friends, who I could see where looking at me as I approached.
"I see you had a run-in with America's most Slutiest Hoe." Ino said.
"Wow Ino, you have the greatest greeting I've ever heard." I replied sarcastically.
"Why thank you!"
"Ino have you gotten dumber? Cause it sure seems like it." Tenten replied to Ino's stupidity.
"Hey, we just get back to school and you're being mean to me?!"
"Shut up Ino-pig. Tenten was being sarcastic." Sakura replied to her friend.
"What did you say billboard-brow?!" Ino yelled right back.
"You heard me you pig!"
"Forehead!"
"Pig!"
"Forehead!"
"Pig!"
"Will you guys shut up!" Hinata said.
The two stopped and turned their heads in opposite directions and crossed their arms to make a point.
"So what did Karin say to you?" Tenten asked me.
Out of the four of them Tenten was my best friend, and speaking of that I hadn't seen her too much toward the end of my summer, bummer. "Ya know the basics, attempt at bad*ss insult, fail miserably, I tell her she's a waste of time and leave." I replied while folding my arms across my chest.
Tenten smiled at me with pride. "I wish I would've made that bet with Hinata cause I would've won!"
I smirked at her than looked at our indigo haired friend, Hinata was looking around innocently but of course she was just being a little punk. That girl really did grow out of her shy shell from middle school.
"Well, that was interesting, but I think we had better get to our lockers before we get trampled or worse, wind up late."
"Sakura out of all the things that could be worse than getting trampled on it had to be being late? You're so clueless!" Ino said.
She crossed her arms as Sakura glared at her half-heartedly.
"Oh Ino I forgot to say this before but I love your outfit." Hinata said; trying to change the subject quickly.
Ino looked proud and smiled at her. "Thanks Hina, I love yours too!" Ino replied.
Hinata smiled at her and told her "Thanks."
That's when I heard the faint sound of a girl's voice passing behind me saying something like 'he's back' or 'their back', I couldn't really tell, although if someone were back I wouldn't know a thing about it to save my life.
"Ok so I was waiting for Temari to get here to say this so here we go. My cousin got back from Sauna private this summer." All of us looked at Hinata and said our congrats and what not. That would explain all the whispering going on about someone being back in town.
"So Ten, I was thinking that it would be great if you guys could hook up again." Hinata said while elbowing the brunette gently.
"Yeah, uh, maybe." She looked at me with a bit of fear in her eyes; I guess there was something going on that I didn't know about yet.
"So does that mean that Naruto's back too? Because if he is that means you can finally make your move Hina!" Ino said excitedly.
"Ino you are not going to botch things up with him, I'll make a move if I want to." Hinata replied politely but fiercely.
"Oh whatever, at least that means that Kiba will be back! Ok Saki," Ino stated turning toward her pink haired friend, Sakura looked at her with wide eyes. "If he talks to me today then I'll start things up again and if he doesn't then we'll never mention him."
"If you say so Ino." Sakura replied.
The first bell rang and everyone started turning toward the entrance of the building. "I suggest that we move to avoid the stampede." I stated. Then I grabbed Tenten's arm and pulled her along with me.
I'm positive that the rest of them followed along so they wouldn't die by being squished. Once inside I headed toward to the receptionist desk to get my schedule because I'm one of those idiots that didn't bother to go to the school to get it early, or ask them to send it to me. So I paid the price by having to get mine now with the rest of the idiots who forgot. Tenten stood with me as I waited and the whole thing took no longer than five minutes which was nice. Afterward I went and found my locker than headed to my first period class which was Physics I.
The one amazing thing I found out, as I entered the room, was that all of my friends had this class first. I didn't think that we would get this in any other class so I was going to enjoy it. I sat down next to Sakura who was having a discussion with Ino about boys and crud like that. Actually they were talking about their boys to be precise.
"I just don't get why I haven't heard from Sasuke since the first couple of weeks at Sauna…you don't think he got a cold when he got back do you?"
"Sakura come on! No I don't think he got a cold during summer break." Ino replied while rolling her eyes at her paranoid friend.
"Well Saki if it makes you feel any better I haven't heard from Neji much, if at all, this summer. It's strange now that I think of it, he came to talk to my father maybe twice and that was it." Hinata said.
I looked across Ino and Sakura to see Hinata and I noticed the pinkette did the same thing. "That doesn't make me feel any better; it makes me feel worse actually. So does that mean you haven't heard from Naruto at all?" she replied.
"No, unfortunately I haven't." Hinata replied sadly.
Sakura turned toward me and looked at Tenten who was on my right. "Have you heard form Neji?" She seemed a bit excited now, cripes this couldn't be good.
Tenten just shook her head and gave her a sympathetic smirk. Then Sakura turned her attentions on me, crap.
"Have you seen Shikamaru?"
I was actually surprised how that question made me feel. It was like if someone just decided that your heart should become a cat's toy and the cat was clawing and biting it like crazy.
"No." It was the only thing I could say without sounding like a blubbering beluga whale!
"Oh my gosh, and you haven't heard form Gaara and Kankuro either? I mean they are your brother's Tem!" I was looking straight forward as I answered her so I wouldn't have to look into her green eyes of doom.
"They came home magically this morning. I think they moved out sometime this summer." I replied.
"Has Matsuri heard form Gaara?" Tenten asked me.
"I don't have a clue, but she should've when he was at Sauna Private. You know she lives out there, well at least for now, she's thinking about moving to Konoha."
"Really? Well that would be so cool! She does cheer right?" Ino asked.
I could tell by her tone of voice that she most likely wanted her on Konaha's team, but of course it wouldn't be easy, Mat was wanted on almost every good team in the vicinity.
"Yeah she does. She's been in gymnastics and dance since she was practically born." I stated.
Ino nodded and started up another conversation with her pink haired friend. I turned to talk to Tenten about whatever came to my mind. "So you hit the gym this summer?" I asked.
She rolled her eyes at me then said "Wow! Since when did we start sounding so much like guys?"
I smirked and shook my head. "Beats me."
"To answer your question, yes I did. I had to work on my kunai throwing." I nodded my head.
Not a ton of people knew about Tenten's love of weapons or the fact that she loved to use them. She didn't just keep them on her wall to look cool.
"And how did that go?" I asked.
"Not bad. I'm getting better." She smiled at my interest in her life.
In her whole circle of friends and family only three people really acknowledged that she messed around with sharp pointy objects; Me, Neji, and her sister Sango. It wasn't like Sakura or Hinata despised it, they just didn't ask about it all the time like I did. Ino on the other hand didn't really care to bring it up. Ever.
"You should totally ask Ino if she wants to practice with you. I'm sure she'd be just as bad*ss as you."
Ten stuck her tongue out at me.
I sneered right back at her.
"Come on Sakura you can't tell me you don't miss him at all!" The two of us turned toward Ino who was grilling Sakura about some guy.
"Ino maybe you should just lay off, I don't think she cares as much about boys as you do." I told the other blond.
Ino looked at me with a deadpan expression then continued to ask Sakura the same question.
"Ok ok Ino! Shush!"
Oh darn, Sakura broke.
"Tell me tell me!"
"Only if you shut up." Ino shut up and Sakura sighed while turning her body toward the front of her desk.
"I do miss him ok? But I don't really wanna talk about it because it's not going to help anything." The pinkette stated.
"Are you talking about Sasuke?" Tenten asked.
Hinata nodded in response then replied to her sad friend "It's ok Sakura I understand. It sucks that we have to deal with the after math of everything ya know?"
Sakura looked at the girl who had spoken and smiled.
"Thanks Hina, and yeah it does suck. I kind of forgot that I'm not in this boat alone, all of us are probably pretty upset about someone."
I looked at each of the girls around me and saw that a look of sadness washed over them. When had we forgotten about the guys who were are friends and all of a sudden practically disappeared? We fell in love and after one silly prank they were gone, expelled, and they were put into Suna Private, an elite boarding school that took the average student and made them incredible. Suddenly the bell rang startling me. I looked up at the clock and it indeed did say eight. I turned back to the front of the room and saw no teacher.
Strange, generally the only teacher ever late was Kakashi but that's not what my schedule had as my first period teacher.
It said- "Hello class and welcome to another year of Konoha high. I'm obviously new this year un, and my name is Deidara, but to you Deidara-sensei."
The man standing in front of us had long blond hair and with long bangs covering one of his eyes. He looked at us with arrogance and from what I could tell a slight hint of malice.
"Now, since I will be you physics teacher this year I think you must know that this is a way that I express my art un. And art is something very import to me, it speaks to me in ways none of you could imagine; because art is a blast un!"
As soon as he finished speaking he handed out our books and started explaining our first lesson for this year.
"Today we are going to be learning about how we apply the mathematics used in the physical concepts that we'll be learning about later." So he went to the board to start writing things down while the class took out paper and started to write, well not all of the class but the majority of us did.
Deidara-sensei was in the middle of how the mathematics would apply when three boys came in the room.
"Why hello boys, you're late un." Deidara-sensei said with an evil smirk.
Wow that sounded cheesy even to me but heck it was! His lips curled to the side and his eyes narrowed as if locating their prey. This new teacher didn't seem to like late students, then again as I looked at whom it was I don't think I could blame him. These three boys happened to be the talk of the school; I'm sure he must've heard about them from the other teachers or most likely Tsunade our principle.
"So you must be Nara, Hyūga and Uzumaki." Not one of them answered; not smart.
Again that creepy smirk appeared and our sensei said "I bet on your lives you won't be late again to my class. Unless of course, that is, you're just dying to get assignments."
