Sand

by Dustbunny3

[Drabble][TemaSaku] Not canon compliant. Sakura has problems on the way to Suna and Temari makes her an attractive offer.

A/N: Originally wrote this for femslash100's drabbletag for the prompt "sand" and never got around to cross-posting. Decided I may as well for Femslash February :D

"You okay?"

Sakura winces but quickly plasters on a smile for her guide. She's sweating like a pig in the desert heat and then there's Temari-san, walking beside her. Temari-san doesn't sweat; she glistens.

"I'm fine," Sakura says, eyes averted, glad she can't blush any deeper, "just- I've got sand in places I didn't know I had."

Temari-san snorts- but mercifully doesn't laugh- and steps closer to clap a hand to Sakura's shoulder. She assures with a grin, "We're almost there." Whispering into Sakura's ear even though they're alone, she adds, "And then I can help you clean it out."
