A/N: I came up with the last line ages ago and needed characters to base it around; I picked Kankuro because I love him. My mother's reaction would be just like Temari's if I was gay... my family's weird like that…
IMPORTANT: if you're religious: please don't take any offence in this, I believe in god, but I find modern takes on religion a tad hypocritical, that's not to say that I hate religious people or anything (some of my best friends are Christians). Plus, if you think you'll be offended by one line, you have been forewarned. That said, flames welcomed!
Disclaimer: Oh yeah, and if I owned Naruto; I wouldn't just be writing fanfictions about Kankuro being of the yaoi persuasion…
Coming out of the closet was something Kankuro had never expected to have to face. He had always figured he would be long dead before something like that became necessary, due to the fact he seemed to be constantly, inadvertently irritating Gaara; the fact that he seemed to be constantly, intentionally irritating the surprisingly-equally-dangerous-when-angered Temari; and, he supposed as an afterthought, because he was a ninja- and ninja don't normally have to worry about those sorts of things.
But there he was, at seventeen years of age wearing a might-as-well-get-it-over-with attitude, and trying to plan how he was going to break the big, highly embarrassing news to his big sister (he had figured it would be kind of stupid to tell Gaara, seeing as the Kazekage still couldn't quite wrap his head around family-and-friend-type love, let alone this whole, new concept, he might have a brain implosion if he attempted to comprehend homosexuality yet; and more to the point, Kankuro couldn't possibly imagine how awkward that conversation would be and… and who else was he going to tell? Rock Lee?)[1
He took a deep breath, 'Temari?'
She looked mildly concerned at the nervousness in her brother's voice, 'yeah?'
'I've… got something to tell you…'
She seemed to have picked up on it already, how could she not have? Kankuro guessed it would seem obvious if, after all this time, he hadn't shown any great interest in girls, and especially if he'd spent half his life blatantly changing the subject when matters of sexuality popped up… he wondered why she hadn't asked him about it before.
She smiled at him sympathetically, 'What's up?'
'I'm… I'm gay.'
Temari stared at him in shock for a moment, and then promptly burst out laughing, 'What a relief!' she gasped, wiping a tear of mirth from her eye, 'I thought you were religious!'
[1 Yes, d00mfuzzball, that line about him talking to Rock Lee was dedicated to you! Could you imagine THAT conversation?!
