AN: Kankurou is older than Temari in my story.. Sorry!!
Chapter 2
Kurenai started to cheer with the rest of the squad, so I pulled Temari to a corner of the gym and taught her our basic cheers. Luckily, she was a quick learner, so she got them down pretty good. Soon practice was over and Temari had gotten down the basic cheers, but she still needed practice.
"You're really good Temari. Did you cheer at your other school?" I asked as we walked out of the gym together.
She nodded. "When I could. I love to cheer, but some girls.."
I laughed. "I know what you mean. Well, do you know the way home from here?"
She looked down. "I was too embarrassed to ask my older brother to come pick me up. Do you think you could help me?"
I patted her on the shoulder. "Sure! Don't feel bad about it. I have a feeling that we'll be good friends."
She smiled. "I think you're right!"
I asked Temari where she lived and immediately knew where it was. "Come on Temari!" I said, grabbing her deftly by the hand.
We walked to her house, talking about her first day at Konoha High. I told her to stay away from Ino and Brittni and how not to stick out, which wasn't a huge problem for her.
We found her house fairly quickly, since we were talking nonstop. "Do you want to come in?" She asked.
I shrugged. "Only if it's alright with your parents. I wouldn't want to intrude."
Temari looked away, small tears forming in her eyes. Sakura, what did you say?! You made the poor girl turn on the verge of tears!! "Oh my God, Temari! What did I say?" I said, trying to apologize.
She wiped her eyes. "The reason we moved here was because our parents died!"
Poor Temari!! She must be so sad!
I came over to her and gave her my famous hug. "I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to start crying on the first day I met you. I might not know what you are going through, but I'm here for you. Okay?"
She nodded, and gave a slight smile. "Thanks a lot, Sakura. I thought that I had gotten over it, but I guess I was wrong."
I gave her a happy smile and she looked a whole lot better. We walked down the driveway and into her house.
"I'm home, Kankurou and Gaara!" Temari said as I closed the front door behind me. Soon, a boy with racoon like eyes and a shocking amount of red hair stepped into my view. He wore a baggy red hoodie and blackish colored jeans. What an emo..
"Finally, Temari, you're home. What too.." His voice trailed on, as his gaze settled on me. Dude, this is .. Actually, it's not that creepy.
"Hi back to you, Gaara. I'd like you to meet my friend, Sakura." Temari said, gesturing to me.
"Hi." Was all that Gaara managed to say to me. He gave me one last glance and walked off It would be so weird if he was as scared of me as I was of him... This could be interesting.
"It was nice meeting you, Gaara!" I called after him.
Temari gave a loud sigh. "Please, don't mind him. He's always been a loner. I wish he'd learn some manners though."
I smiled at that remark. "Don't worry. I've met much ruder people before."
"Temari! You're home!" A male's voice called from the room to the right of us. Temari pulled me inside and I saw a guy, a bit older than I was, with dark brown spiky hair.
"Hey Kankurou! I want you to meet my friend Sakura. She's on my cheering squad."
Kankurou turned towards me and gave me a warm smile. "It's nice to meet you, Sakura. It seems that you already met Gaara."
I gave a quick nod, making him laugh. "Well, if Gaara doesn't scare you off, you're always welcome at our house anytime."
I smiled and remembered how weird Gaara had acted. Kiba would never act like that!
We said goodbye to Kakurou and headed up to Temari's room. It was painted a beautiful rosy red, fitting her perfectly. We sat down and chatted about stuff girls talk about. I learned a whole lot about her, and she learned a whole lot about me. We had so much fun, until my cell phone started ringing.
