The sun was shinning through the small circle windows when I decided to wake up. Well, I can't really say I was waking up, I was never really sleeping. Living in this house will do that to you. But I got out of bed anyway, and made my way to the small bathroom attached to my room.

I removed my beige flannel pajamas and made my way to the shower. I grabbed the coconut scented shampoo and began to wash my long dirty blond hair. I was singing, I always sang in the shower.

"She's the prom queen, and I'm in the marching band, She's a cheerleader and I'm sitting in the stands!!"

"KEEP IT DOWN UP THERE GEEZ!!" Kankuro yelled from the kitchen.

I stopped singing. I was louder then most people, I don't know where it comes from, I'm just usually loud when I don't notice.

I turned off the shower and stepped out. The radio was on, it was playing I Don't Need a Man by the Pussy Cat Dolls. I started to sing. I put on my black tank top, blood red shorts, fish net stockings, and my necklace. It was the only thing I had from my old family. I didn't remember them, because I was a baby when they died. I know I had a brother though, I wish I had known him.

I went down stairs and grabbed an apple. That's when Kankuro started in on me.

"Natali!! I thought I've told you not to sing that loud in the morning!! I was SLEEPING!"

"Hey it's not my fault you sleep till noon!! Wake up earlier lazy!!" With that I walked over and sat at the table. I knew Kankuro wouldn't fight more because Gaara had just stepped in the room.

"I heard yelling. Did Natali offend you in some way Kankuro?" Gaara said, glaring at Kankuro the whole time.

"No! I was just..umm..." Kankuro was terrified. So temari stepped in.

"He was yelling at me! I accidentally dropped bacon grease on him. Sorry Kankuro."

This was hilarious. I was Gaaras best friend so he practically killed anyone who upset me. I would do it myself but I wasn't that good a ninja. Sure I could run fast and I could throw a kunai. But I wasn't an expert like Gaara was. So he did most of my fighting for me.

"So, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara. What are you guys planning for my sixteenth birthday?? Because I was thinking something like Karaoke!! Or we could run around and play some pranks on people!!"

"Well, I invited some of my friends from the Leaf Village. They'll be here tommorow morning, the party is tomorrow night." Temari answered shyly, afraid of dis-pleasing me.

"YAY Party!! Haha, Gaara you're gonna be there right?? I mean I know you hate people, but Gaara, think of all the hot girls there could be from the leaf village!! And you're hot yourself, you could hook up with someone! Kazekage's gotta have a girl right??" I was practically jumping out of my chair with excitement.

Gaara was kind of blushing at this. Natali was the only one close enough to notice. But of course she didn't, she was too busy going crazy. He didn't like people drawing attention to his looks, he had been known as a monster most of his life, but as he matured from his childhood, he became known as somewhat of a heart throb. And he wasn't enjoying the attention. He hadn't seen anyone from the Leaf village in years. He wasn't too happy about having to see them now, he was kazekage an apparently hot, he was worried about what they'd think. He was also worried about Natali...what would she think of him when she met her brother, who Gaara said had died...she would probably hate his guts...Oh, reunions can be so annoying.
