The New Members
Chapter 1: The Break-Up
By: Kaige Noodlez Rupi
The Suna chick, Temari, watched as Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji all walked back down the path they came to enter Sunagakure. She was particulary glaring Ino and Shikamaru. She hated those two now.
Tears came to her eHai as she remembered the conversation she had with Shikamaru a few hours ago.
*Flash Back*
Both Shikamaru and Temari layed in grass watching the sun's last rays disappear from the sky. Shikamaru frowned looking at the blonde snuggling up to her.
"Temari-chan. I think we need to talk."Shikamaru said, unwrapping Temari's arms from around his waist.
"What's wrong, Shikamaru-kun?"Temari asked, looking up at pineapple head.
"I think we should see other people."Shikamaru said, not meeting her teal eHai.
Temari frowned deeply and barked,"And why is that!?"
"Well...it's not that I don't want to be with you anymore...I just don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore."Shikamaru said, finally finding Temari's eHai.
"What!? Who is she!?"Temari screeched, standing up. Shikamaru was just gonna have to face her wrath.
"Someone who is none of your business."Shikamaru said, closing his eHai to show he wasn't dicussing that matter anymore.
Temari stomped away and slammed open the door to the house she shared with Kankuro and Gaara. She narrowly missed Ino who was standing by the door looking at a small fountain. She would have gotten hit but Gaara had stopped the door with his sand abilities.
"Temari be more careful."He said. Temari turned to him and nodded before the tears spilled out of her eHai. She then ran to her room slamming the door extra hard, making several plates fall off a cabinet. Ino caught them this time.
"Thank you. If you excuse me, I've a sister to calm down."He said, turning around towards Temari's room.
"I've got this. It's better if I do it. You might anger her."Ino smirked. Gaara cracked a small smile and nodded.
"Geez, what's with Temari? She nearly killed me when I asked what happened to her date with pineapple head."Kankuro said, rubbing his head, where a lump formed.
Ino giggled and Gaara shook his head.
"She's having issues right now."Ino said, before pushing past Kankuro to get to Temari's room. She knocked on the door that and heard a voice yell out.
"If it's Shikamaru or Kankuro, get the fuck out of here!!!"
"It's Ino."Ino said, waiting for the invitation in.
"Oh, come in."Temari said, softly.
"What's wrong?"Ino asked, sitting down on the side of Temari's dark purple bed. Temari was sprawled out over it but moved over letting Ino sit.
"...."
"Let me guess, it's pineapple head, isn't it?"Ino asked, just knowing Shikamaru had something to do with this.
"...Hai...he..."Temari started, more tears rolled her cheeks before she said the last part,"..He dumpd me."
"Temari say Shikamaru did what!?"Ino yelled, standing up.
"You heard me right."Temari said, she didn't feel like repeating anything now.
"Wait til I get my hands on his neck! I will murder him!"Ino threatened, twisting her hands in the comical evil maniac way.
"Okay Ino, calm down. It's Shikamaru we're talking about so of course he'd let me down."Temari said, softly.
"..Gomen, Gomen..just being melodramatic now. I'm pissed off. He's such a lazy ass."Ino seethed. Temari smiled and said.
"Well you've just made my day."
"Anytime, sista."Ino smirked before getting up and leaving her room.
"My work here is done."Ino smiled, plopping down on the couch next to Choji. She turned to the tv and then turn to Choji.
"Choji is the food channel all you watch?"
"Basically. I just wanna taste all that delicious food."He said, mesmorized by the turkey with cranbberies dripped all over it.
"Based on your attitude, Temari has calmed down?"Gaara asked, popping out of nowhere.
Ino nodded and laughed as Kankuro skipped around thanking God.
"Now where is pineapple? I need to a little talk."Ino growled.
"He's sleeping on the hill that overlooks the sunset."Temari said, closing her door. Her mood was better than it was 10 minutes ago.
