I only want two things in the world.
I want YOU.
And I want US.
I've been travelling for three days and I'm closing to my destination. Once again, I 'am sent to Konoha as ambassador from Suna, this time I'll be staying in for a month. It's not that I'm complaining or anything. I like Konoha. It's a great escape from my comfort zone which is my own home. There's nothing much to dislike, but after what my idiotic brother told me before I left, it just really annoys me and left me thinking of some tro- stuff..
Here I am standing in front of my baby brother, the kazekage. He doesn't really like being called baby brother, says he's not a baby anymore but for me he will always be.
"Here's your mission Temari." Gaara handed me a scroll. I took it from his hands and opened it to read the contents while my other brother, Kankurou is standing beside Gaara. The two of us are Gaara's right hand man, guard and personal adviser. That's only right because he's our brother and we'll be right by his side whatever happens.
"So, I'll be an Ambassador again huh. Isn't there any mission that you know..." A smirk escaped my lips as I read the scroll.
"Huh, here I thought you'll jump out of joy because you'll be seeing your boyfriend again sis." I quickly scowled at Kankurou's comment. The hell is he talking about?
"Kankurou..." Gaara warned, if we weren't in the kazekage's office I might have hit Kankurou with my fan or send him flying through the window..
"What? You know what I'm talking about, WHO rather. That's why you always send her -" Kankurou was interupted with a jab in the gut from Gaara.
"Excuse me, but I on the other hand don't know what you mean Kankurou. What boyfriend?! I don't have a boyfriend and you two know that. "
"Oh common sis! Stop with the denial, everybody knows you two are head over heels for each other! That idiot didn't make a move on you yet?" And with that comment I threw the scroll I'm holding right on his face.
"Ow! HEY THAT HURTS!" Yeah you deserve it bastard!
"Kankurou, drop it. She's old enough we don't need to pry in her love life." Gaara butts in before I grabbed another scroll from his desk and throw it once again on Kankurou's face.
"Coming from you? You're the one who always s- umph! HEY! I THOUGHT WE"RE ON THE SAME TEAM GAARA WHY'D YOU DO THAT FOR?!" Kankurou gain another jab in the gut from Gaara. What's with these two? There's something I'm not getting in this conversation. Huh, love life? I don't really ever had one and I don't plan on having one. No one really is acceptable and qualified to be my boyfriend (yeah yeah I have high standards so what?)
"You're set to leave this afternoon, you should start packing your stuff now Temari." Gaara states calmly ignoring Kankurou's whining.
"Okay, I'll be back before I leave the village." With that I exited his office, I might not be able to control my fury towards Kankurou's stupid comments if I stayed any longer..
"Kankurou.."
"Yeah, what now?" He replied, annoyed with all the beatings he received. He's always being hit by Temari and Gaara whenever he comments something stupid. Well.. He deserve it.
"This will be the last time I'll be meddling with Temari's personal affairs. If that guy doesn't confess his feelings this time I'll be going to Konoha to personally beat the sense out of him." Kankurou grinned at Gaara's statement. Really, this is the nth time he sends Temari to be ambassador to Konoha, yet that slacker still hasn't realized his feelings for her while everyone knows it.
"Those two are hopeless, maybe I'll help you out beating him up. So much for a genius eh." Kankurou looked at Gaara with a smile on his face.
Konoha's main gate came to my view a few moments later. The sun is starting to set when I stepped in Konoha's soil and I was greeted with the pineapple head.
"You're late. You really like to make me wait don't you troublesome woman?" He's wearing his usual get up standard konoha-nin outfit but seems like he haven't change a bit since I first met him back then in the chuunin exams when we're paired up to battle for the finals. Maybe I'm hanging around Shikamaru too much that I can't see that he really changed?
"Heh, I didn't told you to wait for me crybaby." Here we go again with our usual banter. Only six months has passed since we last saw each other, only three months passed since I was sent here to be ambassador and it's been a year since the war ended. We've been together most of the time whenever I'm in Konoha. Either he's my escort or he's my partner for the preparation of Chuunin Exams, I don't really know why they kept us together but I'm glad they did. It's much less trouble since I'm friends with him.
But I 'm still bothered by what Kankurou and Gaara were talking about. Boyfriend really? Are they talking about ..?
"I know and it's troublesome but hokage's orders. I heard we'll be organizing some union thingy for the kages that's why you're staying here for a month. I don't have much information about it though." He stated as we started to head down to the hokage's office to report my arrival while both hands resting at the back of his head with that bored expression he always wear.
"Really? Gaara didn't mention anything about that, wasn't on the scroll he gave me either." I replied while keeping the distance between us in check. Don't know why I bother to but I just did and this is the first time of all the times we've been walking around Konoha. This is strange, why am I acting strange..
"Troublesome.."
"Everything is troublesome for you, lazy ass." While walking, two familiar figures are running towards us. Is that Naruto and Kiba? I have nothing against Naruto, he earned my respect a long time ago when he saved Gaara but with Inuzuka, a lot.
"Hey, Temari! You're back, what'cha here for?" Naruto asks gleefully while Inuzuka keeps on eyeing me and Shikamaru suspiciously.
"Bet she's here for a date. Isn't that right Shikamaru?!" Seriously, if he's not hitting on me he's been trying to get information with my relationship with this lazy bastard I'm currently with. This guy really gets on my nerves, I just don't want to ruin my reputation as ambassador. If I did, I won't hesitate sending Kiba's ass flying away from me. So I decided to ignore him.
"Hey Naruto, Gaara sent me again and crybaby here says we'll be organizing some stuffs for the kages." Naruto is next in line on being hokage, it feels like it's just yesterday that this knucklehead saved my brother but now he'll be leading this village.
"Oh I see! Well I hope you have fun with your stay here. And don't forget to stop by Ichiraku's sometime, take her there Shikamaru huh!" This guy really, still in love with his ramen.
"Okay, I'm right here you know. Don't act like I don't! Hey Shikamaru common admit it, you two together right? 'Cause Temari here won't even give a shit when I hit on her so I thought he might have someone, is that you buddy?!" I'm beginning to feel the fury inside me rising. I glanced at Shikamaru to see what his reaction is.
I can see in his eyes that he's annoyed. Good to know I'm not the only one.
"Kiba, shut it already okay. If you don't I might not restrain Temari here from killing you, it's troublesome. Now excuse us, we need to report to the hokage." Shikamaru handled it well, Naruto and Kiba went on their way to who knows where with Kiba muttering 'Alright, sorry. But I'll make you two admit it. Bye!' before leaving. After that we fall into a deep silence.
"So Kiba's hitting on you huh?" Shikamaru stated out of nowhere while walking on the hallway that leads to our destination. If I'm not thinking straight I might have thought he's jealous, good thing I am.
"More like I hitting him with my fan whenever he tries hitting on me." I looked at him from the corner of my eyes, his expression saying he's satisfied with my answer.
He muttered something under his breath with 'good', 'having competition' and of course 'troublesome' Whatever he said, I didn't get it at all but I didn't bother asking what it was.
