A/N – I'm thanking everyone who enjoyed the first chapter, this chapter is about Kankuro and gives you a little insight into where the story is going and some of the quirks I've put in. I put Kankuro in Australia because I live there and I wanted to spread the siblings out like Gaara is in America...duh the casino! And Temari lives in France for her business (fashion).

*Kanky reads script*

Kanky – Ally does own Naruto... Oh does not *grins sheepishly*

Ally – meh it's works *gives Kanky a cookie and pats his head* good boy!

Kanky – Can I get a kiss too? *winks*

Temari - *hits Kanky on head with fan* No for the last time she will NOT kiss you!

Tenten – Boo hoo... no wait BOO! *kisses Kanky on the forehead*

Enjoy, review and cakes will be supplied (note cakes may get squished and mouldy in the mail) XP

Kankuro – Australia

I am Sabaku no. It's more than a last name, more than a notation on a family tree. It's a quirk in my DNA. It's a mark of destiny. Long story short, chakra exists. It not only exists, it's all around us, but most people never open their eyes wide enough to see. My eyes have always been open. It's in my blood. My ancestors were ninjas or something. They called my people demons or devils; my brother is still seen that way. Is it a wonder they decided to hide our gift. Hide, not bury, there is a difference. Power is a responsibility not to be denied to make life simple.

Each Sabaku no has a special gift. Mine is electrical energy, my brother is fire and my sister has earth. I can harness the electricity that exists all around us. I can even create my own special surge of voltage. I also have a tendency to fry computers and destroy fluorescent lights, but that comes with the territory and I've learned to deal with it. Oh before I forget, I also speak to ghosts, the talent comes in handy with my current profession. I am Kankuro of the Desert, and I'm a freelance homicide detective.

"I know it's only for business, but you gotta come back to see me, ok?" Tenten smiled at him, she was one of his closest friends and a ghost that had attached herself to him. Tenten didn't like the fact she was dead, so she ignored it and went about her daily life like she was alive. "Like they could actually keep me away" "yes but next time make sure you don't come back without a lovely lady friend, or I could come with you to help" "Really?" he eyed her suspiciously "or is that just a way to come see a certain male associate of mine, eh?" Tenten blushed, punching Kankuro in the arm "Kanky don't pin this on me you know I'm here for you, although I must warn you not to scare your new partner considering your last one left after 'the incident'" "why do you make it sound so bad, I just short circuited a few floors in the building" Tenten stared at him, fake shock "it was the entire building, I didn't believe it myself until I saw you, man you were glowing... literally" Kankuro grinned sheepishly, not one of the better days of his career.

"I still don't get the flying thing I thought you couldn't, I don't want the plane to drop out of the sky due to you" Kankuro sighed "It's due to the fact I can seal my powers for the plane ride" "good I really don't want to die" "It's not like you can't die twice, miss I-don't-like-to-be-called-a-ghost-but-will-walk-thru-walls-to-perv" with that said Kankuro went to check in, when the lady checking them in went to the microphone and stated 'Paging Shino for Flight 921 to America" Kankuro could see a quiet Shino walking up to the flight attendants "YO SHINO" he waved at Tenten and Kankuro "how have you been Kankuro, Tenten it's been a while hasn't it" (a/n – Shino has the power to fell ghost as well but doesn't have the need to state that fact to anyone other than Kankuro) "we're good, Temari is getting antsy about me not being with the family, but other than that it's all good" Shino sighed and muttered something like 'troublesome' making him sound like Shikamaru.

Kankuro kept going with the conversation "I got a job helping a friend of mine" "do you mean a ghost friend or normal friend" "well it's Tenten's boyfriend Neji, it's his cousin he wants me to play bodyguard she the heiress to her father's company, or something like that. I'm meeting here at the airport, her name is Hinata" Shino sighed "Well if you want my help with the case or something you know my number" this was a rare occurrence, when he offered assistance especially considering he helped me out with most of my electrical problems. "You just want to get closer to my sister" "do not she's difficult, I can get some info on Hinata for you" Kankuro turned to check in lady and grinned when she cleared her throat to get their attention "sorry miss, I was catching up with an old friend, but how bout I catch up with you later" the look of disgust on the woman's face said he hadn't a chance in hell, Shino stood there smirking. Looking defeated Kankuro boarded the plane along with Shino and Tenten just disappeared, reappearing on the plane... stupid ghosts.

Eighteen hours later, a very groggy Kankuro stepped off the plane and into the airport. Looking around he spotted a sign with his name on it... literally. Walking towards the sign he spotted a beautiful young woman, she had to be about in her twenties, she had baggy clothes to hide her figure, black hair with a hint of blue. As she looked up he saw her eyes, he was entranced, they were completely white with a hue of lavender staining its purity. When he reached her, he noticed she was short, barely five three, she only just reached his shoulder. "I'm assuming your Hinata" her soft voice barely audible "Yes and y-your Kankuro of the Desert?" "Yes my dear I am" Kankuro looked at her from head to toe, definitely not what you'd think an heiress would look like. Obviously getting that vibe from Kankuro "I know I'm not what you ex-expected but I'm happy with how I-I am!" Her cheeks tinged pink when she was done.

Kankuro's brick of a phone buzzed with a text 'r u bak yet Temari, wants 2 c u b4 u go' texting Gaara back 'yer just arrived 2day, b there soon just with client' putting his phone back in his pocket, he turned towards Hinata "We ready to go, have we got everything?" Hinata looked at the bags on the ground oblivious to the fact I was talking to Tenten "I'm not sure what you brought, but I've got all my stuff" Kankuro cracked a smile, so the little kitten has a claws, this could get interesting. Chuckling he picked up his bags "were driven here?" Hinata smiled at him "no I wasn't I drove myself" Walking towards the temporary carpark, he wondered what she drove 'Probably one of those eco cars, pieces of crap that they were gave his 6'2 frame no room. Deep in thought, he barely noticed Hinata stop, turning he saw something that made his mouth drop..."you drive a Murcielago LP640 roadster" a grin seeped onto her face "Yerp it was this or the Lotus Evora, so naturally I went with the LP640 roadster" Getting in the car, Kankuro noticed the black leather interior 'Yer this was his fantasy car' Hinata revved the engine and Kankuro started drooling. Pulling out of the carpark, Kankuro was in love... the car was beautiful.
