Chapter 4: Busted
Temari said good-bye to Shikamaru who was going to walk to a nearby hotel and go home in the morning. Temari went inside her house to find Gaara and Kankuro watching TV. She some of her anger start to rise, but then suppressed it. She was going to make them confess.
"Hello," she said coolly, "what are you doing?"
"Watching a documentary about toads," Kankuro replied.
"How was your date?" Gaara asked.
"Fantastic. We had this idiot of a waiter though. Every time he talked him would spit. It was pretty gross."
Kankuro's face tightened. Temari thought that that would have gotten him to talk.
"That sucks," Kankuro said.
"Yeah."
"His accents were great though."
"What?"
Gaara turned to face him.
"Nothing."
"No, you said something about accents. How did you know?"
"Know what?"
"Don't play dumb."
Gaara looked at Temari, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Temari moved uncomfortably, "Uh, nothing."
"A secret?"
"No."
Gaara started flipping the channels then turned it off.
"Are you lying?" he asked.
"No!"
Kankuro looked at her, "Repent your sins, child." Temari smacked him up against the head.
"Ow."
"Well?" Gaara pressed.
"Well what?"
"Temari!"
"Gaara!"
"Kankuro!" Kankuro said. Two glares were set on him.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Temari asked.
Kankuro grew red, "like what?"
"Like what you did why I was away? You're not dead. I thought Gaara might have killed you."
Gaara interrupted, "We were watching the toad documentary."
"For three hours!?!"
"You weren't at the restaurant for three hours!" Kankuro yelled.
Temari stared at him, "How did you know?"
"Common sense."
"Something you don't have."
Gaara replied, "What are we even arguing about? Nothing."
"What?" Kankuro and Temari said at the same time. Temari stood in front of them.
"You two were at the restaurant with me!" she said in one breathe.
"How did you know?" Kankuro exclaimed.
"Ha. So it's true."
"Damn it!"
Gaara stared at the TV. Temari looked at him for any expression what so ever. Nothing.
"I approve," Gaara finally said. Temari looked surprised.
"Yes. We were there and we saw how much you liked him."
"And some of us saw more," Kankuro replied. Temari looked confused for a second then it hit her.
"Oh. My. God. The money!" she cried.
"Oh, yeah."
"Gaara looked at his siblings, "No more sneaking around Temari. I mean it.'
"No more spying."
"Deal."
They shook on it. Well, Temari shook Gaara's hand. He wasn't exactly the shaking type.
"So what documentary should we watch now?" Kankuro asked.
"I think the one about raccoons," Temari told him.
"Fine," Gaara said and flipped to the channel with Kankuro on his right and Temari sitting on his left.
