A House of Cards
"How did you come to that conclusion?" Sakura asked.
Kankuro shifted. "It was fairly obvious - " he waved a hand around that could have meant when my village invaded your village or simply could I have extra cheese with that?
Sakura smiled, "Things have changed," she coloured, "Well, let's just say the Hyuuga reputation lives up to it's name." She left and Kankuro was left confused.
"What were you doing talking to her?" Temari asked. Kankuro resisted the urge, he was a ninja dammit, Temari was not supposed to sneak up on him like this. He neglected that Temari was also a ninja.
He told her. Temari snickered.
"Them? Sakura and Sasuke? You can't be serious? He's gayer than a sack full of monkeys." Kankuro was not entirely sure how gay a sack full of monkeys were so declined to comment on the aforementioned monkeys. "Sakura got over him a long time ago."
"How could you tell?" Kankuro was disappointed that a real gaydar hadn't be invented. It would make the showers so much easier. He would know who was checking him out and comparing, against those who were doing that as well asperving on him.
"It was fairly obvious. His obsession with his brother which always disturbed me and well, you saw he looked at Naruto." Temari replied, staring at Shikamaru while trying not to look like she was staring at Shikamaru. Kankuro did not understand girls.
Well, Kankuro considered, that was true. He supposed it was a good thing that he had been teamed with his siblings and therefore wasn't forming questionable bonds with his team mates. That. That would be weird if he did, anyway.
Temari groaned, throwing back her head and smiling dreamily at Kankuro. "Then again, he was a hot little blond midget, wasn't he?"
Sometimes, Kankuro wondered about Temari's sexual kinks, then he wished he hadn't and oh great he now couldn't ever look at bananas the same way again. Kankuro had a grudge against long fruit.
"What does she mean about the Hyuuga reputation?" Kankuro asked in a vain attempt to steer the conversation towards something neutral.
"Well I assume their Curse seal," Temari murmured, she was smirking and Kankuro looked over her shoulder. He grunted, Shikamaru was staring and so Temari must know he was staring.
"Curse seal?"
"Let's just say there are benefits to having the Curse seal," Temari nodded, "Neji has some fine hips, doesn't he?"
Another person would think those two sentences were disconnected. Sadly, Kankuro was not that person. He shuddered. "I - "
Neji entered the room. His hair was sleek and shiny. His trousers sat tightly around his... hip area. Wow, that guy was hu -
"Yeah. Hips. Nice."
Temari licked her lips. Shikamaru looked territorial. But he was also... staring intently at Neji's bulging trousers. Kankuro wanted to die.
