Okay I am being super uper mean to Temari. Pairing her with Team Hebi and all. I really am not looking forward to writing TemarixKaren. But luckily shes third so no worries so far! Anyways- first pairing:

SasukexTemari

It wasn't like she was different from any other girl, setting aside the demon brother and tough act she puts on......right? Even though when she walks into the room my heart starts pounding, and when she is mentioned in a conversation I can't help but get excited. It was such a good thing that I never see her as much. I see her in my dreams now and wake up in a cold sweat. I can't say the words that would make this heartache better because I'm.........nervous.

I run a hand through my hair and sigh. No way those words are coming out in public, and no way was I going to find a chance in private to tell her. It's just not possible. I grunt in frustration. My heart aches when I think of her. Ugh!

A knock on the wall of the cave we were staying in snatched me from my thoughts.

"Oi, Sasuke. You havent packed up and changed yet?" Suigetsu, one of my team's member, joked, leaning against the opening.

"I just couldn't sleep last night." I grumble, not in the mood.

"Sasuke!!!" Karen, yet another one, leaps towards me.

I sidestep out of the way and smirk as she lands on rocks. "You guys should get out so I can change."

Karen blushed and Suigetsu laughed. "O-okay!" Karen stumbles on the way out.

"Less than friendly, I see." Suigetsu says.

I just grunt to that.

"Your lovesick, aren't you?" Suigetsu guesses. He shoots, he scores!

"Nah. Who would I be lovesick with anyways?" I say, trying to keep my cool.

Suigetsu shrugs. "Some blond-haired, sharp-tounged, pretty chick." If Suigetsu knows I will be so exasperated.

"Nope." I say, getting flustered.

"It is!" Suigetsu smiled his toothy smile.

I shake my head and signal for him to leave. Once Suigetsu leaves I sighed uncomfortably. I peel off my clothes and change into another copy of them. I roll up my sleeping bag and tie it down. When I'm ready to go, I tiredly shuffle outside. Instead of my comrades, I see a group of people with many numbers of people. I back up into the cave and hope that no one saw me. Well, that wish was pretty much wasted thoughts, for two men turned around and pointed at me.

"Our target! Kuichi, Sazuka! Ready yourselves, men!" I blinked. Kuichi, Sazuka? Who's that? Who are they?

"Hehehe, Sazuka. We've gotcha now....I'll make you pay for what you did to Higure!!" The man charged at me.

I dodged him and jumped to the top of the cave. Whoever these guys are, they aren't friendly. "Who's Higure? Who's Kuichi, Sazuka?" I pondered aloud.

I ducked another swing at my neck. Hm... They aren't after my death, or of this Sazuka they speak of. They aren't reaching for the vital points in my neck. Either they don't want the death or they are just stupid.

"I'm not Sazuka, whoever that is." I explain to the man after me. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha."

"Sounds like a fake to me, eh?" The man laughs like a maniac.

"Where are my teammates?" I demand as I catch the man in a headlock.

"You mean your little protectors? They fled as we hit the scene." He explains, choking as I hold a kunai against his neck.

That is all I can remember, for then I felt my head go blank, and my grip on the man loosen, and my vision blur into black.

I hear laughing men talking about a person named Sazuka. That name vaguely reminds me of a name of a man I love, but am too nervous to say so. I sneak up behind the bushes and peek through to the camp. Three distinct humans are wrapped up laying next to a tree. A campfire is centered in a large group of men. Another man is tied up to the tree, onyx hair glimmering in the fire. I blush lightly. It's him, the man I love. I decide that the element of suprise is my best shot to saving the wrapped up people and saving him.

I leap out from the bushes and throw three kunai in unison, hitting two men in the neck, the other hitting the tree he was tied to. I kicked two people and headbutted another. Killing quickly and quietly I slip into the shadows once again. I grab the rest of my kunai and shuriken and cut Sasuke from the tree. I untie the rest of the people and lay them by the fire just close enough the be graced with it's warming glow.

I start to fade into conciousness, and my eyes flutter open, and the most beautiful sight I veiwed. I thought I was merely dreaming, or that I was dead. It was a simple thought, but when I felt that my arm was sore from the kunai that punctured it, I realized that I was indeed not dreaming. She sat and cleaned up the wounds that my partners and I had suffered from the rough treatment from the people in that huge group.

When she saw I was awake, she gave me the loveliest smile, and tenderly layed and ice pack on my left arm. She turned and continued her buisness with my partner, Juugo. She smiled and wrapped up his leg. Then she turned to me. "These people will wake up tomarrow at latest. Your arm wasn't punctured that deeply. It isn't infected." She smiled and gestured to her bag by a tree. "I'll be right back."

Temari stood and walked over to her bag and unzipped it. She pulled out a pen and paper and wrote and quick little note on it. She turned to me and folded it in half. She stood and came back over to me. She gently layed the paper in my right hand. I unfolded it and read its contents.

Dear Sasuke,

I have adored you for a long time, To be able to help you is an extraordinary experience for me.
I can't tell you how much I've been longing to say this.
Sasuke, I love you. I love you but after I tell you this, you won't see me anymore.
I understand that you don't share these same feelings, so I won't burden you with my presence any longer.

Goodbye Sasuke,

Temari

As I read this, I began to feel helpless. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see her leaving into the forest. I could guess what she was going to do there.

"Temari!!" I yell out. "Don't leave!!"

She turns around and looks at me.

"Temari," I say, my voice getting soft. "I love you!"

She walks closer to me and sits by my side. I capture her in an tight embrace. Temari breaks out crying. "Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me...." She mumbles in between sniffles and tears.

"I won't." I promise.

I'll never leave you, and I can't imagine ever doing so. I love you and only you. Forever more.

Okay and done! The oneshot for Sasuke and Temari! Whaddaya think? R&R please and carrots!
