Temari's POV:
We hurried to move all of Kankuro's things into the spare room.
"Damn it!" I shouted when the end of the dresser fell onto my foot. "Kankuro, you jackass! Help me!" I called to my perverted brother. A door opened and Gaara, my youngest brother, walked out.
"Temari what is with all of the noise?!" He asked in his proper way. 'He must have taken his medicine if he's talking like that.' I thought. "We're moving Kankuro's stuff into the spare room on the other side of mine." I huffed, finally answering.
"Why?" he asked confused.
"We have to make room for your aid." blurted Kankuro.
"Great! I was kind of waiting to tell him about that." I whispered. He shrugged and mouthed sorry.
"Aid!? Why the hell do I need an aid?!" Gaara asked his composure slipping like it usually does when he gets pissed.
"Calm down!" I said, "The leaf village's Hokage just wanted to extend her kindness by sending over someone who was in the same situation as you. They'll be here to help you out and…defend you…while we're on missions. It's just until you get your strength back."
"Fine." He responded sounding only slightly ticked off. "Did she say who she would be sending?"
"Nope I quickly lied. Gaara, knowing I wasn't telling the truth, huffed then went back to his room. Kankuro gave me a puzzled look.
"What did you lie for? (I'm a horrible liar!) You said they were sending over some medical chick."
"I didn't want him to get upset. How would you feel if you had no choice but to let a women take care of you?" I asked the remembered who I was talking to. "Um never mind, don't answer that!" I started thinking about what Tsunade had said on the phone.
//phone call//
Tsunade: She's a very talented young lady. She was ranked first in both her ninja and medical classes. However, there is something you should be aware of. She was born into the same situation as your brother. When she was five the water bird demon inside her, provoked by cruelty, made her kill: her parents, her village, and the monsters who had provoked her. When she was ten, comrades of the people she had killed found her and ripped the demon from her. Luckily I was walking by and heard her screams. I recognized the signs from the demon removal ceremony. I was able to revive her just as Chiyo did you brother. Six years have passed since then. She is well adjusted and strong. She can help Gaara the way she helped herself.
Temari: Thank you Lady Tsunade. Maybe being around someone who has gone through this is what Gaara needs.

No POV:
The Sabaku household was in a frenzy for the next four days. Temari and Kankuro hurried around preparing the house for their guest. Gaara stayed in his room as always.
Temari's POV:
As I finished cleaning I heard a knock on the front door. I hurried over and opened it to find an extremely short chick with blue eyes and purple hair.
"Hello." she said in a soft voice. "I'm Miyako Himura. Is this the Sabaku residence?"
"Yes it is. Are you the aid from Konoha?" She nodded slightly. "Well then come on in." I started showing her the house, starting with the kitchen and library. "And this is the living room." I pointed at Kankuro who was fast asleep on the floor with a video game still going. "That's Kankuro."
"He's not the one I'm here to help is he?" She asked looking uneasy.
I laughed, "Nope! You're here for my youngest brother, Gaara. Ya know what? You're the same age as him." I said finally doing the math. "I'll call him down; it's almost dinner time anyway. GAARA, COME DOWN HERE!"
Miyako's POV:
"GAARA, COME DOWN HERE!" I covered my ears as Temari yelled. The weird guy on the floor twitched then rolled over, still asleep. Temari walked over and kicked him hard in the side. "Get up you lazy bum." she ordered. Slowly he got up; rubbing his side and muttered bitch under is breath.
"Do you have to yell?" interrupted an annoyed voice from the stairs. Walking down was a red-haired guy with sea foam eyes. "He's kind of cute." I thought then immediately cursed myself. He was obviously the one I was here to help.
"Finally." chirped Temari. "Gaara this is Miyako Himura, your um aid."
"Nice to meet you." I muttered bowing my head slightly.
"…" he almost responded. Damn he was rude, but then again I'd be rude too if I had to have someone aid me.
Three hours and one huge mess later I discovered that Temari couldn't cook. We ordered take-out while I told her that I would be willing to do the cooking from now on.
"It's a good thing you came early." Temari said later when we were relaxing in the living room. "Kankuro and I have to leave tomorrow to go on a mission." she yawned and looked at the wall clock. "Damn it's already eleven? Come on I'll show you to your room." She grabbed my arm then my bag and dragged me up the stairs to my surprisingly spacious room. "This is perfect." I thought, until the smell of feet caught my breath. I tried to hide my grimace but she saw it. "Sorry about the smell, this was Kankuro's room. I made him move into the extra one so you could have the one closer to Gaara. You know incase he needs help during the night."
"Don't worry its fine." I assured with a weak grin. She smiled back.
"The bathroom is right across the hall." She said pulling the door closed behind her. As soon as she left I unpacked my things and grabbed the incense I had been smart enough to bring. I took a quick shower then went to lie down to ponder my day and the people I was to live with. "This is going to be weird." I muttered as I drifted to sleep.
