It was cold and dark when one Sabaku Kankuro snuck into the kitchen through the high window, landing softly onto the tiled floor, smirking lightly as his thoughts traveled to what had transpired just a few amazing hours ago…

'The ANBU really whipped your ass into shape…in more ways than one, Akimichi…'

'Sh-Shut UP.'

Smirking lightly, Kankuro pounced like the cat he was, ready to claim his prize…

While the puppeteer was dreaming, light suddenly flooded the room and Kankuro cursed mentally, hoping that it was one of the servants only to see his youngest sibling Gaara staring at him, dressed in his night clothing.

'Where have you been?' he asked in that monotone voice of his, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly. 'You usually don't take midnight strolls…'

Kankuro swallowed, trying to think up a good excuse.

'I…I just had something to do for one of the council members earlier,' he replied, face palming inwardly. There was no way Gaara was going to believe that bullshit. 'Manabe needed something taken care of…'

Folding his arms, the teal eyed teen frowned.

'You aren't exactly on good terms with Manabe right now. You said so yourself Brother…'

'He said that taking care of that for him would erase our bad blood.'

Gaara stared at Kankuro for a long while, but soon turned away.

Kankuro almost let out a sigh of relief until the redhead spoke.

'Tell the Akimichi I said 'hello' the next time you see him…'

The light was then turned off and Kankuro was left alone in the kitchen wondering how in the hell his little brother had found out.
