2. Welcome to Konoha

Kankuro looked up at the top of the gate that leads in to Konoha.

"It's been a long time since we've been here, I wonder how everyone is doing," inquired Kankuro

"I'm sure they're fine," stated Temari.

They continue walking around hoping to find a familiar face. They figure they better check Ichiraku's since it'd be the best place to find at least one person. As they came up to Ichiraku's they noticed a pink haired kunoichi sitting down eating a bowl of ramen. Temari saw her and started running.

"HEY SAKURA-CHAN," shouted Temari.

Sakura looked up from her bowl and looked over 'Temari?' she thought to herself.

"Hey Temari," said Sakura as she ran over to Temari to greet her, "How have you three been?"

"We've been doing great Sakura-chan," stated Kankuro, "We…well Gaara thought it was about time we took a vacation, so we came here!"

Sakura look over at Gaara who still hadn't said anything, "Hey Gaara-sama!"

Gaara looked over slightly, "Hi."

Just then Naruto ran up behind them, "HI, GAARA-SAMA!"

Gaara jumped, and then gave Naruto a "do that again and I'll kill you" look.

Naruto continued talking, "Hey Temari-chan, Kankuro."

"Hey Naruto," said Kankuro and Temari in their most non-enthusiastic voice

"Um, are any of you hungry," asked Sakura.

"I'm hungry," stated Kankuro quickly.

"What about you Temari," said Sakura

Temari replied, "I'm fine, Gaara?"

"I don't need anything," he said.

"Alright then, come on Kankuro, I'll buy you some ramen," said Sakura, who was walking back to the ramen shop.

"Thanks," he quickly replied.

He walked over to Sakura and sat down beside while she ordered him a bowl, then she continued with hers. About five minutes later Kankuro received his ramen.

"So...do you have anything planned or do you just plan on playing everything by ear," inquired Sakura.

By now Gaara and Temari had sat down.

"We don't have anything planned, but after this we was going to find a hotel to stay at for the time were here, and get some rest," said Temari.

"Nice, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then, I have some things I need to do so I have to leave now, see you," Sakura said as she got up and paid the tab.

As Sakura walked off Temari, Kankuro, and even Gaara waved.

- 2 Hours Later -

(By now Naruto told everyone that Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were in town)

"This is a nice room," said Kankuro.

"Well I'm going to get some sleep," said Gaara as he walked into one of the separate bedrooms, "Don't disturb me please."

"Well I'm tired too," said Kankuro, "I guess we can unpack in the morning, but I'm going to bed also."

Kankuro walked over to one of the beds that were in the main room, took off his shirt and got in bed. Temari then walked into the second private bedroom and closed the door.

A/N: Yes, two private bedrooms and a bed/couch in the main room. They have enough money to afford a nice "hotel" room, do don't talk to me about how it's improbable. =P
