Chapter 2

"Hey Temari! Gotta table for four?" greeted Tenten to the blond haired hostess as the girls entered the restaurant, Suna.

"Course I do, Ten. The usual spot?" asked Temari, grabbing four menus in the process. "This way please" leading them over to a table by the window.

As the girls reached the table, Temari passed out the menus and took their drink orders.

"Hey Ten, who are your friends?" asked Temari once she came back to take their orders.

"Oh I totally forgot!" exclaimed Tenten, putting her iced tea down. "Temari, this is Sakura, Hinata, and Ino. Guys this is Temari."

A chorus of heys issued from the table.

"So how exactly do you guys know each other?" asked Sakura, taking a sip of her pink lemonade once Temari had returned from giving their orders to the kitchen.

"Well…" started Temari, casting a glance around the restaurant and then sitting down.

"Um, Temari-san, are you sure its ok…?" asked Hinata, scared their new friend would get into trouble.

"Don't worry, Hinata-chan, my brothers and I own this restaurant, and besides there is no one here…" reassured Temari.

"Anyways…" she started again "Ten and I have known each other since she moved to the city. We met at the weapon store where she works and got to talking and discovered that we both have a passion for fighting so we decided to train together. Next thing you knew, we were friends."

Sakura nodded her head, Tenten had always been a bit of a tomboy growing up and it was common knowledge that she loved fighting. It made sense that she would continue fighting once she moved. Heck! She even worked in a weapon store and taught self-defense to young girls!

A half hour later, all five girls were chatting like they had been friends forever. Sakura and the girls found out that she had two brothers, both younger, and together they ran the restaurant. Kankuro, the middle child, was the cook and the youngest Gaara dealt with the paperwork in the office upstairs. Temari was the hostess and they also had extra help throughout the week.

"Speaking of those two, how are they?" asked Tenten. The girls were now sitting around having coffee and chatting even though it was past closing.

"They are alright. Kankuro is still an idiot and Gaara...well he's as distant as ever. I'm getting worried though…" sighed Temari, shaking her head.

"Why?" asked Ino, cocking her head

"You see, Gaara is a naturally distant person, but as of late hes become even more distant…if that's even possible." Said Temari, a worried look on her face " I'm begging to suspect that he might be getting involved with the Uchihas…."

Tenten gasped, a look of shock on her face "Temari, are you sure?"

"Positive, I didn't mean to spy on him or anything but hes just been acting so strangely and that's saying a lot for Gaara." replied Temari hanging her head in her hands.

Sakura, Ino and Hinata sat watching this exchange confused. What are the Uchihas and what is so bad about them? Were they really that bad to make Temari so worried for her brother? Unanswered questions rang through all their minds.

"Um, Tenten…What or who are the Uchihas?" asked Sakura, casting a fearful glance to Temari, not really sure that this was the best time to ask that question.

Tenten took a glance out side into the dark night and shuddered. "Sakura, I'm not sure that this is the right time to be asking that…"

"Oh…"mumbled Sakura

"I promise that when we get back home I will explain everything, I just don't think this is the right place for it." promised Tenten.

Turning, Tenten faced Temari "Temari, would you like to have a girls night with us tonight?"

"I would love that," replied Temari, grinning gratefully at Tenten " Let me just go grab my stuff and lock up. We can take my car instead of having to walk"

As Temari headed off to tell Kankuro that she would be spending the night, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata all gave Tenten a look that said, "You have some serious explaining to do when we get home…" Tenten countered back easily with a look that said "Back off. I'll explain everything, don't worry."

"Ok, I'm ready" called Temari who was already at the door with car keys in hand.

Sakura, Tenten, Ino, and Hinata walked up to Temari and with one last cautious glance around the empty restaurant, the five girls headed off into the night.

A/N- So there is chapter two. Not that bad if you ask me. I was having a bit of a creative spurt and since I'm stuck in hotels due to traveling this weekend, I figured I might as well pump a few chapters out. This was a lot of fun to write. I tried to give Temari, Kankuro and Gaara jobs that suit their personalities…somewhat…Temari I could see as a hostess and Kankuro could be a chef, I guess….at first I was thinking of making Garra a waiter and then I thought, hell no! Gaara could never be a waiter, hes to anti-people most of the time. So anyways, this story is coming out, slowly but surely. I don't want to rush into it and I am really trying my hardest to build up a story before I have Sasuke and Sakura meet. With that said it might be one or two chapters before the faithful meeting.

So yeah, I hoped you all enjoyed it.

As usual, flames are welcome but keep it constructive criticism. I don't like being told I suck and I'm sure no one else does either.

Feel free to send me any ideas or suggestions that you might have.

Reviews are wonderful!
