Disclamer~ I own nothing from Naruto...

Chapter 2

Later that day, Mari was walking through the woods outside the village when there was a sudden gust of wind.

"Hello Temari," Mari said smiling.

"Mari," Temari breathed. "I'm surprised you aren't in prison yet."

"I'm not. I'm too sly to be caught by the police force in the sand village," Mari replied.

"That is true," Gaara said.

"That just means we can take you in ourslves!" Kankuro said.

"I would love to see you try, Kankuro. You know that none of you can beat me. Even if you did work together," Mari said.

"Hey! Mari!" Sauske called from inside the village.

"What do you want Sauske?!" Mari demanded.

"I was wondering if you would like to go get some Ramen with me Naruto and Sakura," he said, coming out to were Mari, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were. "What are you three doing here?"

"Just having a little talk with an old friend of ours," Gaara said. "And we were just leaving."

"That is the only reason you came here?" Mari asked. "You must have had another reason."

"No, we just wanted to see if the rummors of you being here were true," Kankuro said. With that, the Sand Village Siblings left.
