Chapter One;;
A newly found comrade, or is she a foe?
Disclaimer: Naruto and the members of it belong to Masashi Kishimoto and um yeah. I'm changing things up a lot. Temari is not related to Kankurou and Gaara at all. And Temari will have more of a badass attitude and such. She is also sixteen while dear Kankurou is eighteen. And another thing is the the Kazekage never died. Mhm mhm. Temari is also from Amegakure. Thank youuuuu.
The fifteen year old girl ran as a large creature attacked her village and family. As she glanced back she saw her mother's body being grabbed and torn apart by the savage beast. 'MOTHER!' Dreadful screams erupted from the girl, her sanity being torn like everyone else in her village.
"Temari! Get out of here now my beloved daughter and take Meiko with you!" The girl, Temari's little sister ran out of the nearly destroyed home and was only to be grabbed by the beast along with her father.
"No!" Her screams were lost in the commotion flying through the village and she ran, her beautiful pale skin splattered with blood and cuts as she ran over the scattered tattered bodies. Tears fell through the air behind her and she suddenly stopped, noticing two bodies all too familiar to her. "… Sasame" Her close and best friend's beautiful and long hair dyed red instead of the magnificent white it had been. And next to Sasame's dead body was the Amekage, the leader of her village his body torn but he seemed barely alive and he spoke to the young teen.
"Temari. You are an amazing shinobi and I need you to run. Run as far as you can until you find the pure sand. There you will find shelter-" His sentence was cut short as his last breath left his body. Temari glanced behind her to see the monster slowly dieing from the numerous spears stuck in it's body and she turned, running for her life.
… Mother, Father, Meiko, Sasame, and the Amekage. All gone along with the rest of the village.
"Can't think of that now Temari!" She screamed at herself as she sat along side a cliff, an overhang hovering above her head. The girl had lost blood and felt weak but she knew she had to keep going, she was in The Land of the Sand and the place she was supposedly going to find shelter and sanctuary. It was then that she noticed three figures moving toward her. One she noticed immediately was a brunette, but you couldn't really see it and he had some strange Kabuki face paint on his face. He was at the end and was about eighteen and next to him in the center was an elder man in his thirties or so, nothing out of the ordinary and lastly was a boy with red hair and obviously about seventeen. Temari braced herself, grabbing her knees close to her chest and put a scowl on her face.
"If you three want money I have none!" Her voice drew over their snickers at her words as they walked closer. The red head bent over her and she sunk deeper onto the ground. "Don't touch me!" She screamed as the red headed boy grabbed her bloody bangs. He put his hands up in defense and her ear-splitting scream.
"We want to help we see you're from the village of Amegakure, the village that was just attacked," The oldest man told her and Temari just spat at them.
"What's it to you?" She asked, her voice fearful but threatening. Hugging her knees closer to her chest and placing her head atop them. "What do you want from me?" Temari asked, looking up at them and the oldest, probably the other two's father or something reached out a hand.
"Come with us, child. We'll keep you safe. I promise with my life." She looked up at him with fear in her eyes, her eyes wide as she took the hand. The man helped Temari up, putting his arm around her shoulders. It seemed the man had known she couldn't walk very well because her ordered his eldest son, Kankurou, to help.
Two hours later--
Temari, shaking uncontrollably, walked toward the bathroom of the house. The bathroom reminded her of Meiko's bedroom, lots of glass and big. An image of her beautiful younger sister flashed into her mind. Meiko's long brown hair stained red as the monster tore away her limbs. Temari fell to her knees, crying out her sister's name loudly.
Kankurou and Gaara had been downstairs when they heard Temari scream out and they bolted upstairs, Kankurou reaching her first. The two looked at the small girl on her knees, saline tear trails running down her face and her hands pulling at her hair.
"Oh, Meiko, Meiko!" She screamed and Kankurou reached down, a and on her shoulder.
"Temari it's o-" He was interrupted by what seemed like a growl.
"Don't touch me!" And that was the last thing Kankurou had heard and saw from Temari for the rest of the night. All she had done was take a shower and crawl into her large room. Although when he took out the trash he thought he did see her sitting on the balcony outside her room. But maybe that was just what he wanted to see.
