It was more amazing than he ever could have guessed. The sun beat down, warming their bodies.
He saw the Village Hidden in the Sand, with, as you guessed it, sand everywhere, glistening in the
sun's rays. As he walked, the shade from the buildings covered him and cooled his body, and kept
him comfortable. They walked through the village, greeting the villagers and everyone they saw.
Finally, they walked up to a large house, and entered as the door creaked open, revealing a few
ninjas, an old lady, as well as Tamarii they had run into before, all crowded around a bed, where a
peach colored faced Konkoro lie on a bed, sweating and breathing heavy.
Sakura walked up and lay her hand on his chest, then pulled back with her other hand as a
glowing liquid came out from his body. She then moved into a vial and removed her hand from his
chest, the liquid fell harmlessly to the bottom of the vial and she sealed it up.
The Sand Ninjas breathed a heavy sigh of release, but the old lady just stood there, looking as she
was when the group entered, uninterested. "Don't sigh just yet, I still need to make an antidote for
the remaining poison remaining, I just got out the primary poison, but he's still going to die unless I
make the antidote," Sakura commented, then turned to the old woman "could you escort me to
the garden?"
"Tell me child, where did you learn that medical jutsu?" the old lady asked, leading her to the
door. "Tsunade," she answered, as they left the room, leaving the trio, Temarii, the Sand Ninjas,
and Konkoro confused and not knowing what to do. There were a few minutes of silence until
Temarii finally spoke up,
"I'm going home, come visit me if you want," she said, winking at Dosu as she left the room. "I'll
stay here with the other ninjas, and find out what happened," Kakashi said, "I'll stay too, I wanta
know what happened" Naruto added. "I think I'll wander the town," Dosu said, walking towards
the door, "I'll be back later," he added as he left.
The sun was at another angle now, and the sun beat down on his face. He rolled up his sleeves
and saw something on his arm, Temarii's address from a few days ago! He made it out the best he
could, and came to a large house, with cacti with flower buds on them. He knocked on the door
and heard a shuffling of feet, as a large man with a Sand Headband on opened the door, looking
fiercely at Dosu.
"Um, is, is Temarii here?" he nervously asked, as the large man grunted, "Who are you?" "I'm um,
uh-" he began as Temarii appeared in an apron, "He's Dosu, don't worry, he's my friend." She
said, as the large man retreated back into the house. "So, tell me, why are you here hun?" she
asked, her hands on her hips. "Well, Kakashi and Naruto are getting the info on what happened to
Gaara, so I needed something to do till they done, so I thought I'd come over here and find you,"
he said, his knees shaking as he talked. "Well then, come on it," she said, grabbing him by the
shoulders and yanking him inside.
The house had a floor of sand, and on the walls there were Kunai and Shirikun and some
decretive fans on the wall. "Come on up to my room, it's were I do everything, there's something I
have to show you," she said, grabbing his enormous sleeve from up by his shoulder and extending
it as she dragged him through the house and up a set of stairs. "Here it is, my room," she said,
opening the door, revealing something amazing.
There were enormous fans on the wall, each with a different design, some of them had holes and
indents, while some were untouched. He looked around and saw a large machine, she must have
made each fan herself.
He walked into the room stunned at the looks of the room, and saw a closet, he opened it up and
saw her clothes, he turned away, but noticed something behind them, he reached to uncover it
from the clothes when Temarii grabbed his hand and pulled him away, "um, that's my personal
space, please don't go in there," she said with her face bright red.
"Nice room," Dosu said, "Yep, I like it as well," Temarii said, her face still bright red, and growing
redder as she talked. Bring, there was a ding as Temarii jumped at the sound, "my dinner! Crap,
don't touch anything," she said, running from the room to the kitchen.
Dosu stood there, and his curiosity over came him as he revealed what was in the Closet. There
was a life sized stone figure of him! Only thing was, his head was missing, he looked and saw a
stone figure of his headband, but no head, she must of not wanted to make one of him with the
bandages.
He covered everything back up as he heard her stomp up the stairs, he jumped on the bed and
closed his eyes, as he heard her open the door, place something down and jumped on him, "Wake
up!" she yelled, laughing and smiling. "ooofff" he said as she landed on him, and she just looked at
him and smiled. He looked at her and smiled back, as she stood up and closed the door.
She lay down next to him, and kissed him, and he kissed her back. Just then the door swung open
as the large man came in the room, startling Dosu. "Temarii, I-" he began, but then stopped,
looking at the two on the bed holding each other. His face then twisted, as his innocent look
became a scowl of anger.
Dosu, seeing this, immediately jumped up and leaped out the window, landing in an un-shaded
area of sand. He hit with a thud as the sand beneath him displaced. He stood up, brushed himself
off, and ran back to Konkoro's home.
He reached for the door just as it swung open, throwing him against the wall, smashed between
the door and building, and he passed out.
When he awoke, he noticed the sun was gone; he'd been out for hours. He stood up, and went
into the house, no one was there. He decided to search for the others, and went straight from the
house. He asked anyone who still remained outside if they'd seen the others, but no luck. After an
hour had passed, he'd ended up outside the village; he had no where left to turn.
He decided to leave a note at Konkoro's, and he'd return to the Village Hidden in Sound. He
rushed back to Konkoro's, wrote a note, and left it on the bed. He then began his long journey
back home.
He rushed through the trees, making no noise at all. He had nothing but a small knapsack with a
loaf of bread and a canteen of water, barely enough to survive the week long journey to his
homeland.
Eager to get there before his supplies ran out, he traveled 3 days without sleep or break, and when
he found a clearing, he took a few bites of his bread, a good-sized sip of his water, and passed
out.
He awoke when the sun shone on his face, and warmed his body. The sun was in the middle of the
sky, he'd been asleep for a full day! He took a few more bites of bread and another sip of water,
and began back on his journey, refreshed.
He traveled until night fall, when he took another stop. He slept till the sun rose, and began off
again. This time, he took no breaks until he arrived at the village. It had been a week and he'd
finished half of the bread, and three-fourths of the water. He walked up to the gate, pushed it
open, and walked inside, finally home again.
