I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Notes: Nao's name is pronounced like the word now.

When I chibify people in this story, think of Ginji from Get Backers to base the characters on. It will help if you have a hard time imagining it.

For the Sake of Love

Chapter One

"You're Going"

"You can't make me! You can't make me! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!" Kankurou screeched moving his legs with amazing speed trying to get away from the demon behind him.

'Haha, there's no way she can catch me'

"Wanna bet?" came an eerie voice from behind. With this, Kankurou's legs moved even faster.

'Must get away'

"Kankurou…you're not moving." she stated bluntly. He froze and looked down. Indeed, he had not moved an inch. The terrible fire breathing dragon had him caught by the back of his sweater.

"Who's a terrible fire breathing dragon!" she bellowed with eyes ablaze while hell fire spread around her.

'Crap! I was thinking out loud!'

Kankurou pouted and cranked his head behind to see his 'hoped-not-to-be-last-sight'

"Hehehe…" he laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head with his hand. "Gomen, Temari…chan." He said trying to get on her good side. Temari's vein popped as she clenched her fists.

"Kankurou…" she hissed venom dripping from her lips. "DIE!!!" Temari's all powerful clenched hand bolted down on his cranium. The victim crouched down and caressed the top of his nearly shattered skull. He slowly pivoted his now chibified self over to look at Temari.

Temari-san is so mean." He pouted crying anime tears. He immediately regretted what he said and bolted toward the door to get away from…

"Terribly horrifying mutilating KICK!"

"Ayaaa!" chibi Kankurou wailed holding his sore behind with his hands as he sailed like a football toward the field goal/door.

"Oia…" was all he sounded as he smacked into the closed door and slid back to the floor, eyes spinning.

"Hell! Yeah!" Temari congratulated with a fist pump while lowering her gold medal kicking foot. She skipped over to her brother with a bright happy innocent childlike smile that rivaled in brilliance against Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee.

She bent down and picked up her nearly unconscious, drooling, spiral eyed, foot tall, chibi brother by the collar and started to drag him out the door. Kankurou realized what was going on and did what he thought would help.

"Onegai! Karasu Crow-kun, Black Ant Kuroari-kun, Salamander Sanshouuo-kun…TASUKETE!" he cried out with anime tears pouring out of his pleading eyes. His short chibified excuse of hands reached out toward the far back corner of the room where his three unmoving puppets sat. "Onegai! Your master needs you!" he blubbered, barely understandable.

With those words Temari slammed the door behind him and made her way to her shiny silver convertible, crying brother in hand.

"Buckle up Kankurou." Temari ordered. He obeyed his sister and turned his torso and stretched up with fingerless chibi hands to reach the seatbelt before sliding the restraint across himself and clicking it in place. He looked down still pouting with his hands fiddling in his lap.

"Ne, Kankurou, why don't you want to go to this family reunion?" Temari finally asked, breaking the silence, as she kept her eyes glued to the road. He tilted his head toward his sister. "It would hurt Nao's feelings if you didn't show up." she continued.

Kankurou still looked at her. "I know that, demo, last time we went to a gathering at Nao's house I was dressed like a doll…and a baby, beaten up by Nao's little cousin, hoarded by fan-girls , and given the death glare by Gaara." he said modestly while counting the occurrences off on his fingers…ahem…chibified fingers. ( Chibies don't have fingers…do they? ) "Oh yeah, and I was nearly drowned to death in a pool of St. Bernard slobber." he said with a shudder.

"Stop lying!" Temari snapped, "You were not hoarded by fan-girls."

"I could've"

"No way."

"It could happen!"

"Could not!"

"Fine then!"

"Fine!"

"But that still leaves five bad experiences."

Temari sighed. Her brother could be rather irritating.

"Ne, Temari…" Kankurou said, who had decided to unchibify himself. "Why are we driving fifteen minutes to go to Nao's family reunion when we aren't even family." came the irritatingly true question. Temari sighed yet again for have to explain this whole situation over again.

Both siblings decided to stare at the road, or in Kankurou's case, try to count the quickly passing yellow lines. He soon though, he already started getting a bad headache.

Temari took a deep breath. "Alright." she started. "Nao is a very good friend, well my very goodfriend, anyways, she and her husband oh-what's-his-name have just adopted a daughter and decided to hold a family reunion so everyone would get to meet her."

"Okay, but why are we going to their family reunion?" said a very confused and very annoyed Kankurou.

Temari looked shocked. "Well we can't just leaver her there with all of those nutcases." she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well were we invited?" he questioned as his vein popped.

"Yes, we were." Temari announced in a very 'matter-of-factly' manor.

"So she did invite us then. Where are the invitations?"

"I don't have one. It was an over the phone 'please come' notice."

You're saying Nao said please come?"

"No, she didn't say please come."

"So what did she say then?"

" 'Temari! You and your brothers better have your asses over here this Saturday before noon! Don't you dare leave me alone with those nutcases! If you don't show up, I assure you, I will never bring any cookies over to you guys again!' she said." Temari impersonated.

She glanced at her brother quickly to see a look of utter shock and horror painting his face.

"…no…cookies!" he muttered mortified. He was quiet for a full three minutes. Temari was shocked. 'He actually shut up! Hehe, now I know his weakness is cookies'

"Kankurou was still stuck in shock as he glanced out the window at the passing houses and mansions. The car slowly came to a stop…well it would have except for Temari slammed on the break.

"Ow!" the boy said with his face plastered against the dashboard. He peeled himself off like a piece of tape and looked angrily at Temari.

"Don't blame me! It was the damned monkey's fault!" she defended.

Kankurou's vein popped.

"Sure, there is a monkey that happened to…" Just then a spider monkey jumped on his lap, then let's just say it…um…relieved itself. Kankurou's face turned beat red from anger and embarrassment.

"What the hell?" Kankurou roared. He glared at Temari, who was laughing. She held up her hands to prove her innocence.

"Hey, snicker, don't look at me, gasp, I was lying, giggle, about the whole monkey, snort, thing!" she laughed hysterically.

"Now it's gonna look like I pissed my pants!" he yelled. He started to pout as droplets of tears welled in the rims of his eyes.

Poof!

He chibified.

"Temari-neesan, why? Why did I have to get peed on by the spawn of Satan?" he blubbered. Temari looked at him shocked.

"Gaara peed on you?" she asked horrified.

"Not Gaara, you dumb cow! The monkey! IT WAS THE MONKEY, I SAY!!!" came the angry bellowing of the almost six foot tall unchibified Kankurou.

"Fat…cow…" Temari hissed out, her entire body shaking in rage.

"Now, now Temari…" the guilty brother pleaded to the incoming death sentence. "You know what happens to people who kill people…especially those who kill their brothers."

Temari swiped at him.

Poof!

"Someone…anyone…Tasukete!" chibi Kankurou wailed while running down the street.

INSTANT REPLAY

Temari swiped at him.

Poof!

Kankurou shrank to his chibi self just as Temari's fist was about to land and kill him. "Aiiiyyyaaaa!" he wailed. In a whirl of chibi colors he unbuckled, opened the door, closed it, and started running down the street.

END OF INSTANT REPLAY

"Kankurou you BAKA! Prepare to die!"

"I don't wanna!"

"Too bad!"

"I'm too young to die!"

Let me remind all readers of something. Kankurou has been chibified. Even though in doing so it saved him from Temari, chibi's are only able to run at a very slow pace with their arms flying as they wail. This is due to the fact that chibies have very, very short heights and almost no legs. In other words, Temari caught up.

"Kankurou!" screamed a crazed and blood thirsty Temari. Kankurou glanced around and jumped in freight.

"Temari-neesan, why do you have a sharp looking axe in your hands ready to slice?" he cried. Now anime tears were streaming down again. He moved his almost nonexistent legs faster trying to gain speed. Futile, yes, but he attempted none the less.

"DIE!" she screamed raising the axe for the death blow.

"Eek! Temari-neesan…onegai…yamete!" he pleaded crouched down with his arms covering his head. Temari froze, went into the thinking position, stood up staring at the axe, shrugged, and threw it backwards over her head.

Crash!

"My window!" cried the innocent man who owned the broken-by-axe window.

Kankurou hesitantly looked up.

"Temari-neesan! You do love your brother!" he sang joyfully running through a field of flowers and sparkles over to his giggling, happily smiling, and very beautiful, cookie carrying sister. He jumped into her arms as she swung him playfully around in circles.

"Temari! You forgive me! I'm so happy!" he cried tears of joy overflowing from his eyes.

"Of course, dear brother." she giggled.

"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" a random choir of angels sang.

Fireworks began to blow off in the heavens all in the shape of delicious cookies.

"Heaven!" Kankurou sighed at peace. He had been put down and was hugging his sister happily. "Ne, Temari-neesan, thank you for not cutting me up with that terribly scary looking axe!"

"Of course, dear brother, I couldn't slice you up with that axe, it would be over too quickly." Smiled Temari, a brilliant and blinding smile. "There wouldn't be enough of your bloody slaughter."

"Yes, there wouldn't be enough of my bloody sl-WHAT!" he screamed.

Kankurou's fantasy bubble popped.

"Temari-neesan?" he whimpered fearfully as he looked up at his glaring, venom dripping, demon of a sister. Chibi Kankurou unhugged his sister with tears of fear running down his face.

'I don't wanna die'

"Hyaaa!" Kankurou wailed truing to run away.

"Get back here!" Temari snarled as she threw a lasso around her brother and began to drag him over to her.

"I'm sorry!"

"Nothing's going to save you now!"

Kankurou was forcibly being dragged to Temari as she pulled on the rope.

A light bulb went off.

"Temari, where's Gaara?" he asked.

Temari froze. A lone howling wind blew through her in her silence.

The two siblings raced back to the car. (Well okay, Kankurou was dragged, details, details)

Temari shoved a key into the lock on the trunk.

"Allioop!" she breathed while lifting the heavy trunk up.

Kankurou looked down, but was met by a death glare and a murderous aura.

There, in the trunk was a tied up, gagged, and handcuffed red haired death glare giving Gaara, in all of his glorifying pissed-off-ness.
