Chapter 1: Ditched
Temari's P.O.V.
I opened my eyes slowly hearing Gaara and Kankuro fighting....again. I sighed. They never stop. Oh well, gotta get ready.
My mother died giving birth to Gaara when I was two. She was the nicest person from what I remember. My dad has a middle class job as a soldier in the King's army. He isn't here much so we pretty much know how to take care of ourselves. I'm the oldest sibling and the only one who knows how to keep this house clean apparently. I'm also the only one who knows how to cook. Without me where would my family be? Kankuro is the only one who is going to school right now. My dad could only afford to put one of us in school, since I'm a woman I didn't get it (sexist). Gaara was too young at the time. Kankuro wants to become a doctor. Oh and he wants to marry this girl named Sarri. She is a noble. It won't happen but he is persistent.
Gaara is quiet. He doesn't like to speak to anyone except us and his close friend Matsuri. He doesn't have a job but is very good at hunting and fishing. I think he should work for the butcher in the market but he keeps saying no. He also doesn't believe in love. He thinks love is just something that keeps people occupied and doesn't really exist in the heart. He says everyone has a black heart and it won't change anytime soon. I somewhat agree on this. I want to fall in love yet the royal guards are cruel. Seems like they don't even have a heart sometimes.
I have no job. I don't attend school. I am not good at hunting or fishing. I am rather loud and can be well a bitch to anyone. I don't care for the nobles or the royal family and truth be told, I think they are all a bunch of spoiled cruel brats. I hate how my dad's life is on the line all the time. I hate how my mother left me woman of the house. I hate how I have to stay at home everyday and cook and clean and go shopping for necessities. I hate how no matter how hard I try. I can't fall for anyone. I want a diffrent life. Maybe something will happen one day....
" Gaara! Kankuro! Where did you guys go?" I entered the dining room and saw them sitting on the couch. Their faces were impassive. Kankuro's eyes had sadness in them, Gaara's had rage. I saw a soldier in front of them. No...they can't be going to war...can they? " What's going on?" I asked.
" Dad died. Protecting the king. We need to clear out of the house and leave with our most prized possesions. Temari....we need a knew home." Kankuro stated. I almost broke right then and there. This is where I grew up. This is where my mom cooked. This house..is all I have left of my once happy family. Now we have to leave?
Gaara glared at the soldier. " S-S-Sorry. I'll l-leave n-n-now." The guy stuttered and ran out of the house. I smiled sadly at them.
" Well let's get packed up. We can't bring everything. Take what you absolutely need and pack a few extra items that are precious to you." Gaara ordered.
I ran up to my room and slammed the door. I would not cry. I would not cry. I will not cry. I need to be strong for my brothers. I took a few deep breathes. In and out. In and out. In and out. Good. I grabbed a pretty large bag and stuffed all of my clothes in it. I added my mom's silver hairbrush, all the jewelry I owned (might need to sell them), and a few books I knew how to read (Kankuro taught me). I also put in a picture of our family. It was right before mom died in the hospital. Mom was sitting on the bed holding Gaara. My dad was next to her. Kankuro was looking at Gaara warily and I was right next to my mom clinging to her.
Our only happy family picture. I zipped up my bags and opened the door. I turned around to look at my room. I was going to miss it. Oh well. Materials could be re-placed, family cannot. I'll be able to get everything back one. I'll make sure of it.
" Come on guys! Time to go before the royal guards get here. Hurry downstairs guys!" I yelled towards their rooms. We had to hurry before they got here. They are the reason for the unjust things happening in this world. They take people away to execution or the dungeon, take everyone's money, and perform the duties of the king. As in they do his dirty work. Well they are just bastards. Oh and they are the most trusted guards in the royal family. " I'll be waiting outside."
I ran outside and waited at the end of the driveway. I saw a carriage surrounded by guards. Great the royal family. I saw the prince. Stupid pineapple head. He looked over at me and his eyes widened. They looked like they were interested in me. What the hell. I saw them open the door and he walked out. He kept his eyes on me. " Shika-kunnn!" a blonde girl shouted into his ear, he cringed. I smiled and looked away towards my brothers.
" Lets go find a new home." We walked away from the carriage with our bags and decided to find a new place to stay. I looked around for a nice abandoned home. There were none of course. I looked back and saw that prince staring at me again. I glared at him and flipped him off. He stood there shocked getting dragged away by his weird blond chick.
-----------------------------Hours later of searching for a new house------------------------
" Is this all we could find?" Gaara questioned and looked disgusted.
" Yea...looks like shit Kankuro." I told him. He shrugged his shoulders.
" Better than the streets." He had a point.
I looked at our new home. More like shack. It was wooden with one door and one window. It had only three room. One was where we found a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and living room all combined. The furniture was left. The other room was very small like a closet. So we decided to change in there. The last was as big as the closet room. Except this one had a toilet. In the kitchen, there was a fireplace for cooking. All the furniture we had was a few mats, the kitchen was supplied with a few pots, pans, bowls, utensils, and there were a few blankets, a rotting rocking chair and a chest full of papers. We could burn those.
Well home sweet home.
" I kinda like it. at least we brought our own clothes and pillows. We'll need to find jobs to buy food and stuff. Kankuro you can't. You have school to attend and so does Matsuri. Gaara and I will have to bring in the money. Where are you going to work, Gaara?" I asked him. He looked at me.
" I could work for the butcher and get his meat for him...what about you?"
I sat there quietly for a minute. Where could a girl get a job? Nowhere in town would let me get one because of all the sexist men...then it hit me. The castle. They need maids to cook, clean, and serve. All which I'm very good at. That's where I need to work....only problem is. I flipped off the damn prince. How can I get one now?
He did seem interested in me...maybe that will work? " The castle is my only choice. I'll go there tomorrow and ask for a job. This is going to suck so much...."
I really don't want to work there, not with him there. He kind of creeped me out when he was staring at me the way he was. He seemed possesive and a spoiled brat. Oh well, I'll deal with it for money to support my family. I'm going to regret this later on....
Shika's P.O.V.
Her eyes...they were like swimming in a pool. I wish I could've met her. She had bags...I wonder why. Why did she flip me off? Why is all I can ask. I can't get any answers. I wanted to go talk to her but Ino, my future wife, dragged me away. I didn't even want to marry her...she was way too troublesome.
I sighed and my family (including Ino) looked at me and carried on with what they were doing. I wonder what she is doing right now....strangely I missed her and I only saw her once. Life is too troublesome. Especially being the heir to the Nara throne. I sighed again and looked at the clouds. I wanted to be one so much, they were free while I was not.
I decided to go to bed and I shut my eyes slowly. Drifting off to the only sanctuary I had. My dreams and thoughts. Night I thought to the blond beauty where ever she was. Then I fell asleep.
