Well hope everyone has enjoyed my story so far. To be truly honest I have really no direction (funny I'm writing chapter five and I'm still trying to figure out the plot) I guess that's what makes this story it, you don't know exactly what will happen, though I have some ideas……

XXX equals the breaks

Chapter 4: Lucky Charms

"That's my lucky charms they're magically delicious," Kankuro sang. He poured his sugary breakfast in a bowl and added milk to it. He bobbed his head to the melody, eating the delicious meal.

"That's not healthy for you," Temari told him while getting two low fat waffles and putting them into the toaster.

"Your face isn't healthy."

"What?"

Gaara walked in. Temari took her waffles out and started eating them plain. A concerned expression went across her face.

Kankuro looked at him, "Turn that frown upside down."

"We used to say the same thing to you but then we realized that was your ass not your face," Gaara shot back.

"Touchy."

"Don't test me."

Kankuro got up, "Fine I know when I'm not wanted." Kankuro placed his bowl in the sink and disappeared.

"Gaara we need to talk," Temari said.

"Sounds serious."

"Maybe it is."

"Temari I'm fine."

"No you're not Gaara!"

"Temari."

Temari ate the last piece of her waffle.

"I just…I just hate it when something's bugging you," she confessed.

Gaara looked directly at her, "Don't."

Kankuro walked down the street to a local restaurant. He decided to have some brunch.

Once the waitress came, Kankuro sat straight up. She had auburn hair with smoky gray eyes. He decided that he was going to ask her out.

"Can I help you?" she asked. Kankuro looked at her name tag.

"Yes Aiko. Excuse me I think you have something in your eye. Nope, it just a sparkle."

"Your funny, but looks aren't everything."

Kankuro's smile faded.

"You have a face of a saint- a saint Bernard."

"Nice one. I bet it took you a year to come up with that one."

Kankuro mumbled something.

Aiko looked at him, "Did you just ask me to dance?"

"no, I said you looks fat in those pants!"

"Kankuro."

Both Aiko and Kankuro turned toward Gaara. Aiko's face turned serious.

"Kazekage, sir," she said. Kankuro gave her a weird look.

"Hey, Gaara," Kankuro greeted," What's up?"

"Kazekage sir, do you want anything to eat?" Aiko asked. Gaara shook his head.

"I can't believe I'm going to tell you this but something weird happened to me," Gaara told Kankuro.

"One sec, Gaar. Aiko, eggs and bacon chop chop. You can keep going now."

"Like I was saying, something weird happened."

"Weird as in creepy or weird as in that's just wrong weird.?"

"Creepy."

"Step into my office."

"What office?"

"Just pretend."

"Okay."

Gaara explained about the letter and the board. Kankuro sat there, listening intently.

"Seems to me the thing is haunted. Gaara you're haunted."

"I'm haunted everyday by your stupidity."

"Don't be so mean."

Glare.

"Be mean all you want."

Glare.

"Love you."

"Kankuro be serious. Wait- forget I asked."

"Okay, Gaara, I believe you."

"Good. Now what do we do?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because this is a weird situation and you're weird.

"Thanks."

Aiko came back with the food. Kankuro winked at her and dug in. Once finished, he paid the bill and walked out with Gaara. Kankuro started stroking his chin.

"It appears to me that the thing is asking for help," he explained.

"Don't try to sound smart, you just sound dumber."

"I feel the brotherly love."

Kankuro and Gaara walked home to find an unwelcome visitor in the house.

"Oh, hey," Temari said, "I didn't know you would be back so soon."

"I didn't think he would be back so soon," Kankuro said pointing to Shikamaru.

"Hey," Shikamaru greeted gloomily.

"Come on girly man. You. Me. Right now," Kankuro said in his Arnold Schwarzenegger voice.

"Kankuro stop acting like and idiot," Temari warned.

"Temari I want him out of my house!"

"Please don't try to act like a tough guy. You're just embarrassing yourself."

Kankuro turned to Gaara, "Gaara sick' em."

"Excuse me?" Gaara asked giving him a death glare.

"Just ignore me."

"I try but you usually can't take the hint."

Kankuro stood face to face with Shikamaru. Well more like Shikamaru looked at Kankuro's chest and Kankuro looked down at him.

"this could get nasty," Kankuro hissed.

"Kankuro."

"Yeah, Gaara."

"Come."

"But…"

"Now."

"Alright."

Kankuro followed Gaara up the stairs. He hesitated in going into Gaara's room, but finally did.

"I have to go," Shikamaru tol Temari.

"So soon? You just got here."

"I've been here for an hour."

"Why do you have to leave?"

"Because it's going to take me three days to go home."

"Temari leaned for a kiss and after a couple of seconds, Shikamaru left. Temari smiled to herself then her eyes filled with anger.

"Kankuro!" she yelled.
