A/N: Whatever…

Disclaimer: Whatever… Oops, I don't own Naruto or anything within the anime. (But I wish I did).

Temari's Point of View.

I walked through the woods alongside my younger brother Kankuro. His face paints normally done as usual and his puppets safely wrapped and on his back. The wind rustled the tree tops as we neared our destination.

Recently, the Leaf village has been deceived by the Mist. They claimed that the Sand has been preparing a surprise attack for nearly 1 year now, and they were to lead an assault on the Leaf within a few days. This caused total chaos and once again we became rivals. It was only thanks to our Kazekage, who was the one-tailed jinuuriki and also my youngest sibling, Gaara that we were able to come to an understanding. Gaara isn't your average Kazekage, he's more determined; he claimed he wanted to be like Naruto, to be able to help everyone he could no matter what the cost. Gaara contacted the Leafs Hokage, Tsunade and quickly got to the bottom of things. It's because of this stupid mess that Kankuro and I have to go to the Leaf once again to certify the legitimacy of this new alliance.

A sigh came from Kankuro's direction, "what is it now?" I asked trying to seem like I cared.

"I don't trust them anymore." His voice was stern and bold, not like the normal (perverted) Kankuro I knew.

"Well, you just have to accept the inevitable. Besides we were once deceived," I paused, thinking back to that day our father was found dead, lying in some gully, "…Orochimaru." His name came out hard, I struggled to say it. "Anyways, I'm sure Naruto fought for us too, trying to convince them not to attack. You know how much he hates violence."

Kankuro starred at the solid ground in front of him as we continued walking," Yeah, I guess you're right."

As the large red gates that surrounded the Leaf come into sigh, so did a woman with long blonde hair pulled back into two pony tails. I recognized her as Tsunade, the Leafs Hokage. We said nothing and continued to walk forward, starring directly at the blonde woman in front of us.

"I was wondering when you were going to get here." Spoke Tsunade when we finally came to a complete stop in front of her. "Follow me, please." We complied without question; we knew where we were being taken, the Hokage's tower.

As we walked through the streets of Konoha, I looked around at all the different people that were staring at us coldly and without any remorse. Kankuro on the other hand was too busy staring at the only woman's ass, and occasionally attempts to stare around at her huge chest without being caught (you know you're desperate when…)

There was a girl that had caught my attention when I walked by her. She was about my height, had brown hair and they were rolled up in two buns. She looked strangely familiar and quite hot if I do say so myself… 'Did I just think that? What's wrong with me?'

"Here we are." Tsunade's voice broke me out of my thoughts when she opened the door to her office and sat down behind her desk. I guess I was too busy thinking about that brunette to even notice we were at her office. Walking in, Kankuro and I both sat side by side in two separate chairs placed in front of the Hokage's desk.

"We have quite the dilemma on our hands. You know this is our third alliance, correct? I can't believe that Gaara would even allow something like this after that last incident." Kankuro's voice was stern, and smug.

"Yes, I am fully aware that this is our third alliance, but hey, third time's the charm is it not? Besides, wasn't the Sand once manipulated, and deceived into plotting against the Leaf village?" Tsunade stated matter-of-factly.

I closed my eyes and placed one of my palms over my face and asked, "Kankuro… Will you please shut up? I told you the exact same thing on the way here."

"I see that Sand has sent one person who is quite negotiable." Complimented Tsunade, as a smile appeared onto her lips. "That's good." Kankuro crossed his arms and pouted.

"Kankuro, you're 18, so grow up." I complained involuntarily. After realizing what I had just said to my younger brother, I looked back at Tsunade who seemed to be enjoying the scene happening before her. "My sincere apologies, that was out of line." I apologized.

Tsunade nodded and replied, "It's quite alright, Naruto does the same thing every day… The only difference is that he bursts in like a kid being dragged by a dog."

"I see… Anyways, back to the alliance problem." I said with a serious tone.

"Yes, everything seems to be in order. I only need the Sands representative to sign on this line, along with the Kazekage's signature here. " Tsunade pointed to a line that had the words representative's signature beside it and another line with the words Kazekage's signature near it. "Here's a pen. We will need one of you to carrier these documents back to your own village while the other stays here."

"Why does one need to stay?" asked Kankuro now fully listening to the conversation before him.

"Simply to make certain that you stay true to your word and not rebel against us."

"I see." Silence came upon us for a few seconds. "I'll take them back." Kankuro insisted, determined as ever.

"Okay, we hope to hear from you soon." Tsunade's attention turned to me. "Temari, I will set you up in the Konoha Hotel, free of charge."

"Understood." Was my only choice of words.
