Noo! It isn't obvious, but, I'm a sand nin fan! w00t!

I'm having a love affair with these random conversation fics. They are just fun to wright, I guess. I never plan for them. I always write them on a whim.

BTW, This is post-Chunin exam and Pre-Save Sasuke in Naruto-time. It's just after lunch, and they are in Suna. Just so you know.

Temari leaned back in a chair all her own, "People only want to hear lovely stories," she said, holding the latest edition of her literature magazine in her lap, "About lovely people."

Kankuro looked up from his newest puppet, "I know that."

"It's so boring." Temari opened a sugar candy and stuck it in her mouth, "I get tired of it."

Kankuro jabbed some poison into the dart-socket of his puppet's arm, "its escapism."

Temari raised an eyebrow.

Kankuro took this as an invitation to continue, "People are tired of being ugly and normal, so they read lovely stories to escape their normal lives."

"That's what the popular opinion is, eh?" Temari leaned back too far in her chair, and thus accidentally swallowed her sugar candy. She gagged a little bit, but was fine.

"There isn't a thing wrong with popular opinion." Kankuro held up a finger, emphasizing his point.

"True, It's just common."

"Oh, don't go all 'anti-conformist' on me! You became a ninja, just like everyone else in out whole family!" Kankuro waved one of his puppet's dismembered arm at his older sister.

Temari giggled at the sight of her brother brandishing his puppet's limbs in such a way, "Yes, I know. You can't very well be freakishly like everyone else in your family and still sprout non-conformism, but," Temari smiled in triumph, "It bothers me that you just quoted a paragraph out of Baki-Sensei's physiology journal, really!"

Kankuro stifled.

"Where you the one who stole that boring old thing? Really?" Temari laughed, "He's still looking for that thing, y'know!"

"Hey! I'm not the one who took it!" Kankuro yelled, "Just because I read it doesn't mean I stole it!"

"Sure!" Temari rolled her eyes, "Whatever you say!"

"Whatever!" Kankuro stood up, "I'm gonna test out my new puppet now!"

"Okay, you kleptomaniac," Temari nodded, "I'll spar with you."

The two of them got up slowly and walked out the door.

Gaara turned the corner, walking quickly into the room his two older siblings had just existed within moments ago. Slowly and carefully, he pulled a certain physiology journal out of his jacket and continued to read. He then grabbed one of Temari's candies and walked quickly back to his room.

Did you think Gaara was gonna show up? Well, because I love Gaara more than any other Naruto character excluding Hinata-sama, He was gonna show up weather you like it or not.

Review or Gaara will squish you! You don't wanna be squished, do you?
