Daiki kissed her and wrapped his arms around her back. "Temari it's ok..." He said, rubbing her back gently. "Really I love you, it will all be ok." He said, closing his eyes and just holding her in the center of the room. He didn't care if she was wet, if she was injured, if she cried, what she wore, or what other's thought of them and their relationship. He just wanted to be with her, to hold her, to kiss her, to be with her.
Temari smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck and then kissed him as hard as she could. She knew he meant everything he said. He always did. She knew in her heart he could and would take care of her, and even take her away from her father.

Kankurou leaned into the door more, putting his hand on the handle to steady himself. He turned it accidently and the door opened, causing him to wipe out, falling on his side and then looking up at his sister's almost naked body and Daiki.
His eyes widened, Temari broke the kiss in shock and then yelled Kankurou's name in a tone of clear death, warning him to get lost.
.End Chapter 3.
"KANKUROU!" Temari yelled, picking up her fan beside her bed and then crashing it over the head, in annoyance. She heard noises outside her room and dragged Kankurou out of the doorway, and then closed and locked the door, leaning against it. She started to panic. If she was caught with Daiki; he'd be screwed.
Temari started t panic. "Daiki go hide in my bathroom!" She said, realizing he could hide in the joining room. She unlocked the door and then made sure Kankurou was close to it when it flew open and Baki stood there with three other members of the Suna council.
Temari blushed a darker color as everyone stared at her wet and almost visible body. She was on the verge of screaming again, when Baki cleared out the room, shouting something about killing them. She sighed in relief as he picked up Kankurou and walked out of the room, but stopped to look at her.
"You better be training tomorrow. Otherwise I'll hunt you down myself." he said as he left the room, closing the door.
Temari went into the bathroom. Her bedroom window was small, and didn't open because of the sand storms that often passed through Suna. Otherwise, she would have told him to just go out of it, but this wasn't Konoha. She sighed and then hugged him, closing the bathroom door. She didn't care if he saw her like this, she loved him, and she was his world.
"I think you should get dressed." Daiki said, smiling at her. I really do." he said, chuckling slightly. "I don't want any more surprises." he said, kissing her forehead. He walked out into her room with her as she picked up a set of cloths and then smiled at him and wrapped her arms around him and let out a small sigh.
"I'll always love you..." She said, smirking at him. She let him go and then walked into the bathroom. She finished drying off, dressed and then let out a small sigh and pick up a brush and walked out of the room. She saw him looking at some of her things, and she walked over to him and stood beside him.
He wrapped an arm around her and then kissed her cheek. He slowly went down and started to kiss at her neck, and then undid the top buckle of her shirt, as he pulled down the fishnet that lined her shoulders. He pushed her into a bare wall and lost control of his body. He loved her, he was attracted to her. She was woman, not the girl everyone seemed to think she was. He felt her arms wrap around he saw that as permission to keep going.
Temari's eyes widened slightly, she never expected him to do this. She thought he wanted to wait. They had talked about ti once or twice, a while back. About a week or so. But.. Whenever they talked about intimacy, not only did Temari get extremely flustered, but... they talked about waiting until she was at least 17 or 18. Preferably a while from now...
She was 16, and even though she had taken care of herself and her siblings her whole life, she wasn't viewed as a woman. She was still a teenager; a child; a girl; something useless for anything other then having children at a later age.
Temari looked down at him and then pushed him back. "Daiki..." She said, looking up at him. "No... not now." She said, knowing Baki would be back to talk to her sooner or later.
Daiki nodded and released her. He didn't want to go far with her, he just wanted her to know he loved her. He sighed and then kissed her cheek. "I need to go. I have business to attend to." He walked out of the room and smiled at her. "I love you, Temari-chan." He said, smiling and taking off before he was seen in the place he should never be.
Temari smiled at him and then sighed and closed her eyes, thinking back to a few days before. Daiki had been so sweet and romantic, she knew she had live with him for the rest of her life. She had to. She loved him; and he loved her. In all honesty, she would die for him.
.Flash Back.
Temari smiled and then looked up at the moon and stars. She was on the roof of the small three bedroom apartment she shared with her siblings, looking around Suna, trying to calm herself down. She had met with her father once again that day. He didn't hurt her, he just went into telling her how useless she was. How she was a disgrace, and needed to stop slacking off. He didn't see the reason for her to take almost three weeks off her training. She was growing weak, dependant, and even more of a woman then he wanted her to be. He wanted her to be strong, a warrior, but he wanted to be able to control her power.
Temari stood there in took in all that he said; not starting a fight with him. She didn't want to start one this time, she just thought of Daiki and how much he loved her. How much he respected her, and how much he could do to make what her father did wrong, right.
She sighed and leaned over the railing, looking over the deserted deserts around her. Kankurou had just went down back into the house to bed, and now Temari was there alone.
She felt something wrap around her waist and she smiled and leaned into Daiki's strong chest. He pulled her backwards, into the shadows and then kissed her cheek and neck a few times.
"How's my sand angel?" he asked, kissing her cheek. "Because I missed her all day."
Temari smiled up at him and then kissed his cheek. "I missed you too, and I'm no angel..." She said, laughing slightly. "Trust me..."
Daiki laughed. "Oh yes you are!" He told her, kissing her cheek and holding her close to him. "I love you, and you're my angel. Someday you'll be my wife."
Temari blushed as she looked up at him. "Yeah..." she said, kissing his cheek, and turning to face him. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she kissed his lips roughly.
He returned the kiss and let his arms creep around her firm waist. He loved her, and he meant what he had said. He was going to marry her, no matter the cost.
.End Flashback.

Kankurou woke up and then rolled over and opened his eyes, holding his head in pain from Temari hitting him. He looked around and say nothing, but he knew were he was. He in Baki's room. He sat up and then walked out of the living room. He knew Baki had been summoned to see his father, so he just got something to drink and stayed there, knowing Baki would want to talk to him later on.
Kankurou put his head down and not to long afterward, fell back asleep. He had no idea why but he was exhausted. He smirked in his sleep, rolled over, and almost fell off the couch.
Baki came back and shook Kankurou. Brown hues opened and Kankurou looked up at Baki and smirked. "Hey sensei." He said, wiping drool off his mouth and getting up for the remainder of the night. It was about seven thirty or so and he yawned.
"Baki-sensei... I need to talk to you about something.." Kankurou said sitting up. "I... I think Temari's in trouble..." He said, biting the inside of his cheek. He was worried about her. He didn't want her to get her heart broken, or for him to hurt her, or for her t be disappointed in men once more. All the men around her had hurt her in one way or another, which included himself, Baki, Gaara, everyone.
For some reason, it seemed to be entertaining for men around this sand kunoichi to hurt her, why? Kankurou had no idea, but he hated it. Sure, he and Temari would get into physical altercations. Sure, he had given her a bloody lip, and he had given her a black eye, and she had given him a wack to the testicles with her fan, but they always forgave one another, and they never did it to kill or with the intentions of hurting one another badly. They just did it because they were together so much, they got sick of seeing one another's faces.
Temari's words rung in his head. "You're just like dad..."
Out of the three siblings, Kankurou looked the most like the Kazekage. Temari looked like their mother, Gaara had looks all his own, but Kankurou was almost identical and the frightening part to him was, if he became the next Kazekage, what would people think of him then? The Kazekage was appointed the same was in Suna as in Konoha. By strength, not by legacy.
Kankurou shook his head and completely missed what Baki had asked him. He felt a hand get placed on his shoulder and he stopped with his rapid head movements and looked up.
"Kankurou what is it?" He repeated, and rephrased slightly from his earlier statement. Baki sat down beside him and then looked into his dark green eyes. Something was defiantly wrong.
"What's going on with Temari?" Baki questioned him sympathetically, thinking this had something to do with the Kazekage.
Kankurou sighed. "I... I'm not sure." He said, looking out the small window across the room.
"It's complicated, I hate it, but I'm worried about her, really bad..." He said, back at his sensei.
Baki looked out the window for a brief moment and then back at Kankurou. "You need to tell me..." He told him simply. "Everything."
—
Temari went into her father's room after having another guard coming to get her. "Baka, Kankurou.." She said to herself more than anyone else.
"Forget to tell me important things." She said as she walked off towards the Kazekage's office. She was nervous now... Did he know? Did Kankurou tell him or something? She sighed and then walked inside. As much as she hated to say it, she had to trust Kankurou with not telling anyone. He was her brother, and he'd understand that she was in love, right?
She didn't tell him anything, but by her kissing Daiki, that spoke wonders, right?
"You, are late." The kazekage uttered, quiet annoyed with her. He hated tardiness, and didn't tolerate it with anyone, especially his children.
"Yes but Kankurou never..." Temari tried to say.
"Silence!" He yelled. "Stop making piteous excuses. I hate excuses." He said, narrowing his eyes as he turned his chair to face her. His dark brown eyes fixed on hers and stayed there. He didn't look away, nor could he. Her face so resembled her mother in his eyes. The woman he loved, the woman he had killed.
Temari's eyes narrowed. "I'm not making excuses I'm telling you the truth! Kankurou never told me I was supposed to come and talk to you!" She half yelled at him, forgetting the number one rule.
Never show any emotion.
He got up form his chair and walked over to her, circling her like a vulture, feeding off of the dead fumes of it's prey. "What was that my daughter?" He questioned her, putting a cold hand on her shoulder. His body was always cold to the touch, despite how hot it always was in Suna. He moved around her more, letting his hand fall back to his side.
Temari's whole body tensed. She didn't know what to do now. She had shown him angry, an emotion he hated above everything else. He hated angry, especially coming from her because when she was young she greeted him with nothing but anger.
.Flashback.
"Kill him, fast, but make it well done." the kazekage ordered of his many assassins. "The first one to bring me back proof of Gaara's death will be the one who shall receive the reward." He said, happily.
"Go.. You have 12 hours..." He told them smirking darkly to himself.
–
Temari sighed and leaned against the kitchen counter. "Kankurou turn off the t.v and come in here and help me!" She demanded of her younger brother. "NOW!" She said, picking up one of the five hundred remotes they had and turning off the t.v.
Kankurou looked back at her. "HEY!" He yelled, running in the kitchen and trying to take the remote from her instead of using the one beside him, knowing she'd just turn it off again.
He slammed her into the counter, her back pushing into it as he pressed his smaller body against hers and then trying to reach the remote as she held it over her head.
"Little Kanky is too small!" She teased, laughing at him cruelly.
"Help me make dinner and then I'll let you watch t.v." She told him, annoyed that he did nothing to help her at all.
Ever since Temari was six all she had ever done was take care of her brothers. She did their laundry, cooked, cleaned, and stopped Kankurou from crying when he had a nightmare, stayed up at night with Gaara when he didn't want to be by himself, and did anything else a mother had to do.
Kankurou punched her harshly in the stomach and watched her fall to her knees. She cried out and then looked likes he was about to cry.
Her stomach had always been in her weak spot, ever since she was a small child, the first thing injury she had ever gotten was to her stomach, she had been kicked there by her father when she was two. That was the first time he had ever struck her, and all because she spilled her orange juice on one of his scrolls.
Kankurou dropped to his knees beside her and took her hand. "Te-Temari?" he asked, moving some of he blonde hair from her face. Usually it was tied back, but she had just gotten out of the shower, so it was down and quite damp.
"Ju-just go.." she said, coughing. "Never mind, I don't need any help." She said, holding back the tears that were threatening to fall from her aqua-green eyes.
Kankurou took the remote from the floor and turned the t.v. back on, listening to her and going back into the other room.
Something exploded outside, and Temari grabbed her fan from the table, forgetting her pain and her tears, and running up to the roof. She raised her fan and then narrowed her eyes at the many assassins that came to claim her younger brother's life. She pulled her fan backwards, opening it as she did so.
"Kamaitachi no Jutsu!" She yelled, her winds wrapping around the ninja and pushing the backwards. Her eyes narrowed and she jumped beside Gaara and stood her ground beside him.
"Why protect a monster?" One asked in a harsh and raspy tone. Clearly a poor man looking for the millions of yen that the Kazekage was offering.
"Why try to kill one?" She asked, not meaning to insult her brother, but it didn't phase Gaara.
"Temari... stay out of this." He instructed. "Get lost." He said, annoyed that she was trying to protect him.
"Gaara..." She said, backing up, not wanting to make hm mad, knowing he'd soon turn on her as well as them.
"Please... Let me help you." She said, smiling slightly afraid.
Gaara's sand wrapped around then and crushed three of them, and the other's ran off in fear, returning the to the Kazekage. They ran into his office and slid to a stop.
"Kazekage-sama!" one said. "He is a monster, and killed with minimal effort, there is no way we can beat such a child."
The kazekage groaned. "He is merely 10. He can be beaten." He said, narrowing his eyes.
"And a girl is protecting him. A blonde... with a giant fan." Another remarked.
"Temari..." He said darkly. "My daughter... Bring her to me. The one who does, get's a fourth of the reward money." The kazekage said, turning to look out the window.
They nodded and fought to get the girl for their lord.
–
Temari was dropped bound in ropes before her father. He walked over to her, and untied, telling the others to leave, as they did. He smirked at her and then punched her in the face.
"You bastard! How dare you try to destroy a mistake you made!" She screamed, feeling his hands close around her throat.
"Rephrase..." He instructed, about to beat her to a pulp.
"Never... You're a stupid, lonely, bitter, horrible man that deserves to die for killing the woman you were supposed to protect!" Temari yelled, kicking him in the groin and then moving backwards.
He grabbed her and threw her into the window, watching the glass shatter around her body, and then her fall and land almost 40 feet below. With a sickening crack, her body went limp, and she promptly passed out.
.End Flashback.
"What are you thinking about my child?" The kazekage asked, due to her prolonged silence.
"Nothing..." She said, her eyes narrowing. "What do you want with me?" She asked, trying to keep her temper, and not get punish like she did before so many years before.
He smirked and then stopped swooping around her and stopped in front of her, staring her down. He was in a good mood. Nothing could or would compare to him hurting his child. He had always found pleasure from it.
"Why have you been skipping your training?" He questioned of his eldest child.
Temari wondered what to tell him. She knew she couldn't say she was in love and out with another man, but he already knew that. She had been out with a man instead of training. That he knew, he was just asking her to make her sweat.
"I had... better things to do." She said, expecting to be smacked or punched.
"Yes... Better things to do with, what was his name?" He asked, getting closer to her, causing her to back up into his desk.
Temari started to get really uncomfortable. He had never been this close to her since the incident so long ago. She tried to move over his desk, but he grabbed her wrists and pushed his body into her.
"Fine, don't tell me his name, but be warned Temari... I will find out who he is, and when I do, he'll be killed. No one can have you, you got that? You belong to me!"
"I belong to no one.." Temari corrected him. She didn't want anyone to own her, she wanted to be loved. She wanted someone to care about her. That's all she really wanted. Someone to care for her, someone to vow to protect and take care of her. Someone, Daiki, to undo the hatred of men everyone had made her believe and come to know.
"You BELONG to me!" He yelled, grabbing her by the hair, pulling out one of her ponytails and then leaning forward and slamming her into his desk, bending her backwards. He heard something crack, her spine and then let her go, backed up and then punched her in the face, square in the jaw.
He pushed her into the wall and punched her in the stomach, knowing how weak it was. He smirked and then grabbed her neck and forced her to look up at him and did something she never expected.
He kissed her.
"You look just like your mother..." He whispered to her in a quiet voice. "She hated me at first too." He told her with a smile.
"But in time, you'll be mine." He said, kicking her in the stomach and then laughing as he saw something start to fall to the floor.
Tears...
He had finally made her cry in front of him. He laughed and punched her in the face, and then watched her fly backwards and hit he door, making a loud noise.
—
Baki's head bolted up when he heard banging. "Fuck!" He said, aloud, running off to find Temari. He usually stood guard outside the door, especially seeing as he was always hurting her, but Kankurou had altered his attention. He went to the door, and heard laughing.
A ripping sound met his ears and he kicked in the door and along with five or so other jounin, pulling him away from Temari.
Kankurou was right behind them and he helped Temari to her feet. He sighed and then ran out of the room with her. He brought her to the hospital and just watched her roll over and look away from him. His words echoed in her head.
"I'll kill him... kill him... kill him... kill him..."
Her eyes watered and she shook her head. She didn't want to lose Daiki. She had to talk to him, and she had to do it now.
"Kankurou..." She said, looking over at him. "Daiki... Go get him for me." She said, her eyes burning with tears, starting to redden. "Please..." She begged him, closing her eyes, and looking away, hiding her face, pain, and tears.
—
Baki sighed as the Kazekage convinced him that he had to hit Temari. He told him what he knew about the man having an affair with her, and with a deep sighed, Baki had to tell him the truth.
"The man she is with is named Daiki." Baki whispered.
The Kazekage's eyes widened. "Daiki in on my council." he said darkly. "Bring him to me, now!" He yelled.
"NO ONE steps out of line in my council, and no one should touch my daughter..." He said darkly.
"Be gone with you Baki. Now. I want to see him in the next five minutes, or so help your soul..."
—
Kankurou ran off and got to Daiki before Baki did and brought him to the hospital. He left the room and sat outside the door, and left him alone with Temari. It was the least he could do right? Most of it was his fault anyway...
—
Daiki ran over to Temari and then took her hand. "Temari.. Tell me what happened.." He said, sitting down and pulling her into his arms.
Temari winced but then looked up at him. "He... He knows." She said, sighing and looking away. "I.. Hate to admit it, but I'm scared." She said, biting her lip. "I love you but he says he'll kill you. He doesn't know who you are, but he knows I love someone." She said, closing her eyes.
Daiki kissed her and wrapped his arms around her tighter. "I don't care.. I'll fight for you. I'll do anything for you."
Temari shook her head. "Don't fight me on this one, please... just..." She said, closing her eyes. "Just let me go..."
Daiki shook his head. "No I–"
He was cut off when Kankurou cried out as someone kicked him across the face. His eyes widened as the door handle jiggled and the door swung open and a figure came into the room.
