Three Siblings

Chapter 1: Sleeping bastard

"Gaara, don't forget your lunchbox! And Kankurou," she kissed him lightly on his cheek, "Good luck on your final exam. I'm going for work!"

"Sis, don't forget to buy some vegetables on the way home! It's not healthy to eat meat all days." Kankuro shouted before his sister leave.

"Shoot! Gaara, could you buy them on the supermarket for dinner? 'Cause I'll be home at 9." The oldest sister glimpsed at Gaara hopefully. He nodded, "Okay."

While hurrying out, Temari glimpsed back at her family. All happy faces. She smiled in relieve.

As the oldest, the dark-blonde woman was responsible for her family. This was not a burden for her because she loved her brothers. Ever since their father was put in jail, everyone had been working hard. But this condition was actually the best for them.

Their mother passed away while giving birth to the youngest, Gaara. Stressed with grieve, the one they once called as father became drunken-ass. He lost his job at the same time. With that, he abused his children who once he loved. The worst victim was Gaara. Gaara grew up with a father who tried to kill him. It seemed that he immaturely accused the red-haired boy as the death of his beloved wife. Temari was still in the second grade when the abusing began. It was an awful time. Gladly, it had passed. There was time when Temari called 911 when the father almost stabbed her youngest brother. That was the last day of their nightmare.

The little girl now was a woman. She dropped out highschool and, for a meantime, worked as a waiter in her relative's restaurant. Kankuro was in third year of juniorhigh. He would be in highschool three months later. While Gaara…he was still lost in his dark past. The aura became better lately indeed. It happened since he met "someone who's the same as me", he would say. Temari didn't know much about the blond he had been hanging around lately, except the fact she had seen him. Actually she was scared that her brother would turn out to be gay, but that seemed fine if he was happy.

Thinking about the past, Temari ran along the pedestrian. She would be late if she had not. Fortunately, the pedestrian was not as congested as usual.

"Why? Why would I think about the past in such time!!! Uwa!!!"

It turned out that the pedestrian was not as clear as it was. Someone was lazily lying on the pavement, or maybe, sleeping. Temari did not notice until she tripped on that person.

"Hey!!! You're blocking the way!!!" blurted her, as she turned to see a weird pony-tailed boy in her age, sleeping (!?) lazily on the road. That's ridiculous! The boy grumbled and lazily opened his eyes. Temari looked at him sharply. What's he going to do now? Still, the boy did not move. In five seconds interval, he yawned and rubbed his eyes, and then slowly stood, leaving Temari sat angrily.

"Ah…I slept well…" was all he said, and went. A vein popped in the left-behind person. Quickly she jumped out and grabbed his shoulder. The boy stopped moving and at last felt the presence of a woman near him.

"Hey, miss! You're slowing me down!" O-oh. Temari couldn't stay silent anymore. Not only one, this time more than five veins popped. "And who the heck slowing me down!!!" She shouted, grapping harder until the boy panicked of dying by it.

"What is your problem???" the boy asked after he managed to move the crazy woman's hand. Temari glared, darkly, till the boy was speechless.

"What is…my problem you ask?" With strong annoyance, she stifled him mercilessly, "You slept on the on the road! Wake up innocently when I've just tripped on you and you didn't even say sorry!?!?!? No wait, you made me look stupid! Moreover, I'm late for work now!!!" Argh! Bad timing! The poor girl dashed to the restaurant just after she glanced at the silly pineapple bastard, "Next time I see you you'll be dead for sure!!!" while giving him middle finger.

The pony-tailed boy breathed heavily, trying to get oxygen on the pavement. He kept on watching the ludicrous weird-hairstyle woman.

"Scary, troublesome woman"

A/N: Fuuh…that's for first chapter. Argh! Should I really post this story??? Well, I need your reviews to make sure that I do the right thing…Oh, fyi, I think I will add Gaanaru story in the third chapter. Hehe… and I wonder if Kankuro should have any pairing or not .
