Temari P.O.V.
It was Halloween, and we had the dance today. It wasn't like dances at other schools though, this dance lasted all day so we didn't have classes; instead of just half the day or at night. This Halloween I was a "sexy" witch, Kankuro was a puppet, and ironically Gaara was an angel. We were all told to where our costumes to school, because as soon as we got there it the dance was going to start
When we got to our lockers to put away our coats all our friends were waiting for us. Naruto was a pumpkin, Kiba was a dog, Tenten was a mouse, Neji was a vampire, Sasuke was an un-dead skater, Shika was a wizard, and Lee was an apple.
"Dude a vampire that is so old" Kankuro said.
"Yeah, that's what I said when I saw him," Tenten said.
"Oh come on, look at Naruto" Neji said.
"Hey," Naruto said. Gaara laughed.
"I like Temari's the best," Lee said winking at me. Kankuro and Gaara hit him.
"See I told you not the ware that," Gaara said.
I laughed, "I don't care," I told him. He glared at Lee.
"Fine, I won't do that anymore I swear," Lee said backing away from them.
"Come on guys, let's go party," Tenten said, and we walked to the gym the dance was at.
Ino was waiting for Shikamaru, she was a pig.
"Why are you so late all the cool people get here first!" she yelled at him.
"Wow calm down, I was waiting for Temari and her brothers with the others," he told her.
"Well thanks to you I am officially not cool at this dance, But sans I'm popular I get one freebie. So don't mess it up again!" she yelled grabbing his wrist and storming off into the gym.
"Wow she has got issue, I feel sorry for him," said Naruto.
"I know, that's what I had to put up with everyday for the past few years. It was horrible, especially Sakura," he said. We all looked at Naruto.
"What," he said. "Oh... Hey don't you say stuff like that about her," he said sarcastically and with a sigh.
"I thought you liked her," Lee said.
"Not really, I was just trying to get Kiba to admit he likes Hinata," he told us. Kiba glared at him.
"So, what are we standing here for let's go in," Tenten said.
We got inside and it amazing. There were lights flashing all different colors, and the music was playing loud. It was just bright enough to see in there. When we walked in we saw Hinata a cat, Sakura herself, Ino, Shikamaru, and a bunch of other popular kids. I couldn't didn't want to look at Shika and that girl. So I said bye to everyone and I went to find Deidara and the guys.
I found them at the far end talking. Deidara was himself but had his gloves off, Itachi was a weasel, and Sasori was the same this as Kankuro, a puppet, and Kisame was a shark. They all looked at me as I walked up.
"Wow, you're hot again," Sasori said.
"Yeah, I thought you were going to be something more in your new style," Kisame said.
"Come on guys leave her alone, and get your own girls," Deidara told him. He wasn't going to have a girl for long either.
"Hey like you said, we're only going to get hookers," Sasori said, and him and Kisame laughed.
Deidara sighed, "You guys are so immature," he said.
"You two need to grow up," Itachi said.
"Ha, I wouldn't be talking Mr. Weasel soot," Kisame said.
"It wasn't my fault my mom made me ware it," he said under his breath.
"Did you hear the, his mom made him ware it," Sasori laughed.
"What's wrong with them?" I asked Deidara in a whisper.
"They snuck beer in and drank it all before you came," he told me.
"Oh come on, we never drank it all. There is one left," they said and started fighting over it.
"You never had any did you?" I asked Deidara.
"Uh..." He hesitated, he did drink. "Of cores I never," he said.
A few minutes later Deidara and I ditched them and went to dance.
After the second dance tears filled my eyes, "What's wrong?" Deidara asked. I stopped dancing.
"I have to break up with you," I told him wiping my eyes.
"But...But why?" he asked.
"I just don't feel the same around you anymore. I don't know if it's you or your friends, or if it's that I don't know you enough, or that I know you enough to know that you can be a jerk and you drink," I said. He looked down at me.
"I don't drink though," he told me.
"Don't lie to me I can smell it on your breath," I said.
"I can change though. I'll stop drinking, I'll be nicer, and I'll even stop hanging out with those guys. Whatever it takes so that you don't leave me I'll do it" he told me sadly. I looked away from him.
"I couldn't ask you to do any of that, I'm sorry. Can we still be friends?" I asked.
"I don't think that would work," he said. I looked back up at him.
"I hardly see you as it is, only at lunch and on weekends. And if we stop dating I won't see you at lunch anymore, and I'll most likely never see you on the weekend. So no, we can't be friends. But I get it, you like Shikamaru too and you see him more and he is a way better person then me by far, and if you start dating him I'll understand. I won't be jealous that you dumped me for him," he said walking away.
"Bye Temari, maybe I'll see you around," he said with a smile and then he disappeared into all the people.
I ran crying to the bleachers we had on the right side of the gym and hid under them. I held my knees and cried into them. Why was braking up so hard? I mean he wasn't the guy I liked when we first met, but then again I'm not the same girl. He was right about one thing though, I do like Shikamaru. But he is with Ino now, so I'm all alone in the world again. No, that's wrong. I have friends that care about me and like me the way I am. I stopped crying and sat there calming myself down.
Kankuro P.O.V.
Lee and I walked around the gym, there wasn't much to do innless you had a date and were dancing.
"Let's stand at the punch table," Lee suggested.
"Yeah, with all the nerds with no dates, not going to happen," I told him. "Ware is Tenten and Neji?"
"Dancing of cores," Lee said with a sigh.
"Might as well just walk around the school and go where we never been yet this year," I said.
"Ok, let's go and come back later," Lee said and we walked off.
Gaara P.O.V.
Kiba, Naruto, and I fallowed Sasuke up the stairs to the roof. He was planning on killing her now sans no one is usually around at this time a day. He got her to come by telling her he was mean to her because he really liked her and didn't want Ino to get jealous. He told her that they should go to the roof so they could talk in private. What an idiot.
Sasuke and Sakura talked then when she was close to the edge he walked near her making her back up. Then he made it look like he was grabbing her to kiss her, and as she stepped down to make that final step she realized there was nothing there. Sasuke gave a smirk and a little push. She went falling to her death screaming.
Sasuke came running to us and we ran down the stairs and far away from them. We didn't want to go back to the dance so soon so we walked around the school. Sasuke, Kiba, and I were so glad she Sakura was gone, and Kiba and I were congratulating Sasuke. Naruto however was stunned and scared at what he just saw.
Shaking he asked, "Would you ever do that to me?"
"Do what," Sasuke asked.
"Kill me, you just committed murder. Aren't you scared or shocked at what you just did?" he asked.
"No, I'm not. And don't worry I don't plan on killing you," he told him. Naruto gave a sigh of relief, but was still scared at what he just saw.
Temari P.O.V.
I was still crying a little and I was still under the bleachers. I looked up for a secant and saw Shikamaru running in and sat beside me; he didn't notice me at first. He was out of breath; he must have been running from someone. After he caught his breath he looked over at me.
"Holy, who is that!" he said jumping back. I looked up and him over my knees and then laid the side of my head on top of them facing the other way. "Oh, Temari, what's wrong?" he asked come back close to me. I didn't say anything I just turned my head to face him. He was really close. I looked him in the eyes. He saw that I was sad and put his arm around me. I can't believe he has that much courage, he never use to even be able to talk to me much or come that close. I guess him seeing that I was sad made him want to comfort me. I let go of my knees and put my head on his shoulder and put one of my hands on his chest. I could tell he was uncomfortable with me doing it but he never said anything or tried to move away. He probably never thought I would do that and instead push him away.
After a few minutes of sitting like that in silence Shikamaru asked,
"What's wrong?" again and actually wiped the tears from my eyes.
"I broke up with Deidara," I told him.
"What, why did you do that?" he asked.
"I changed and now I don't feel the same around him. Also his friends are idiots, and he can be a real jerk. There is also another reason, but I'm not going to say," I told him.
"You just figured all that out," he said. "And come on tell me the other reason."
"No," I said.
"You like someone else don't you," he said. I buried my face into his shoulder. "Come on who is it?" he asked. 'I'm your friend you can tell me."
"You," I said, but it was muffled so he couldn't hear it.
"Come on," he said. I turned my head out of his shoulder.
"You," I said. He pushed me away from him and backed away crawling. There was no room to stand under here.
"No you don't, you don't like me," he said shocked.
"Yes I do," I said.
"Don't even joke about that, you know I like you and I don't want you making stuff like that up. I don't like you bullying me like that," he said angrily. I crawled close to him. He stood sat there froze.
"But I do like you," I whispered in his ear and then kissed him on the cheek. He turned red. I giggled and backed away.
"You... Me... I...," he said. I giggled some more.
"Something wrong Shika?" I asked.
"N-no," he said. I smiled. He was really in shock that I liked him, so I changed the subject.
"What are you doing over here anyways, I thought they were with Ino," I said. He snapped out of his trance.
"What?" he asked.
"I thought they were with Ino," I repeated.
"Oh, I was but all she was doing was bossing me around and making me to get punch for her and her friends. So when she asked for some for herself I went and got it, and then when she turned around to take it from me I dumped it over her head and dropped the cup on her and told her to get her own punch. Then I ran though the people in the other direction and when I was far away from her I turned around and ran over here. I don't know if she is still looking for me; she was really pissed," he told me.
I laughed, "Good job, I always thought you were a wimp," I said.
"I am, that is I was until you came to the school," he told me looking me in the eyes. I looked at him and he blushed and looked away. "Everyone is different now that you and your brothers came. You guys have taken us out casts and made us more confident and got us to be friends with each other. You have changed our lives for the better and your changing the school too; more than you guys know," he told me.
I went close to him and asked in a whispered, "Do you want to go out with me Shika?" He nodded and I gave him a hug.
Kankuro P.O.V.
We walked back into the gym and saw Tenten and Neji sitting at a table set up resting. We went up to them.
"Hey guys," Lee said.
"Hi Lee, Hi Kankuro, we stopped dancing because Neji got tired," Tenten said.
"She can dance for so long it's crazy," Neji said.
"So, where is everyone?" Tenten asked.
"I don't know, let's go look for them," I said. And we went to go look.
We looked all over the gym but couldn't see them.
"I'm going to check under the bleachers just in case," I told them. When I got there I saw Shikamaru and Temari. Shikamaru had his arm around Temari and she had her head on his shoulder. "Hey guys, were coming to sit with you is that ok?" I asked. Temari got up.
"Yeah sure," she said. They didn't look bothered by it at all.
I went back the Lee, Tenten, and Kankuro.
"Hey guys, Temari and Shikamaru are under there, come one," I said. And we walked over to them. We went and sat down with them.
"Are you sure they said it was ok?" Tenten asked in a whisper.
"Yeah, why," I said.
"No reason," she replied. The Lee turned to me.
"What were they doing when you came in?" he asked in a whisper.
"Nothing just talking why," I asked. He shrugged.
I couldn't tell them what they were like when I came in. Temari is my sister after all and I didn't want to tell everyone about her privet life, that wouldn't be right.
"So, where is Gaara and them?" Lee asked.
"Oh, Sakura and Sasuke went to the roof for some privacy and Gaara, Kiba, and Naruto fallowed them," Shikamaru said.
"That's not good," I said.
"I know going to spy on two people that want to be alone, its sick," Tenten said angrily.
"No it's not that, and besides Sasuke doesn't actually like her," I told her.
"Then what?" she asked.
"Gaara has been talking about Sasuke killing Sakura by pushing her off the roof of the school of weeks," Temari said. Everyone looked at her.
"What?" Neji said.
"Yeah, he said that Sasuke thought she was really annoying, and just at the beginning of the month Gaara said he found the perfect time to kill her," she said.
"Oh yeah, I remember that they told me about that; but I didn't know that's what they were talking about," Lee said. Everyone was shocked that they might have just gone to go kill Sakura and we didn't know it before.
Gaara P.O.V.
After walking around the school three times we decided to go back to the dance. That and we saw Tsunade coming. We raced into the gym and behind the bleachers, and to our surprise everyone was there.
"What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Shikamaru is hiding from Ino, Kankuro and Lee don't have anything better to do, and Neji and Tenten got tired of dancing," Temari told us.
"Well what about you?" Kiba asked.
"What about me," she said.
"So what are you guys doing here?" Tenten asked changing the subject.
"No reason, just bored," I told her.
"You aren't hiding because you just pushed Sakura off the roof of the school and don't want to get in trouble are you?" Kankuro said.
"Maybe," said Sasuke. Everyone looked disappointed in them.
"What, she was getting on my nerves. And it was Gaara's idea," he said. Everyone looked at Gaara.
"I was joking when I said it, but he took it literally," Gaara defended himself.
"Well why didn't you guys stop him then?" Temari said.
"Because I; I don't know about anyone else; wanted her dead too, and I wanted to see her die," Kiba said.
"And plus he said if anyone found out he would take all the blame," Naruto said, he was shaking.
"What's wrong, why are you shaking?" Lee asked.
"He is scared for life because he saw someone die, and he is scared Sasuke is going to kill him next," I told him.
"I told him I wasn't going to, I just wanted her gone," Sasuke told him.
"Yeah, but it is still scary to see someone die in front of you," Naruto said moving as far as he could away from Sasuke.
"You just a chicken," Sasuke said.
"Am not!" he yelled.
God, I hate it when they fight it's so annoying.
"Guys you're annoying me, am I going to have to kill you!" I yelled at them. They shut up.
"Isn't that kind of harsh?" Kiba said. "They're your friends."
"I was just getting them to be quit," I told him. "I wouldn't kill anyone, I'd beat someone up, but I wouldn't kill."
"Gaara, you're weird, you know that," Shikamaru told him.
"Hey, I didn't say I was normal," I said. Everyone laughed.
"So Temari, why are you in here? I thought you would be with Deidara," Lee said. Tenten hit him because she just got everyone off that subject. Lee rubbed his head were she hit it.
"Leave her alone, there doesn't have to be a reason why she is here and not with Deidara," Tenten said.
"No its ok, if they really want to know then I'll tell them," Temari said.
"I broke up with him." Everyone was shocked.
"Why, what happened?" Lee said.
"It's none of your guises biasness why," Shikamaru told them defending me.
"So you know why then?" Neji asked.
"Yeah, why does it matter?" he said.
"Well why did she tell you and not going to tell us?" I said glaring at him. I don't like her keeping secrets and I really don't like her telling one of her friends it and not me and Kankuro.
"Because I was here first and she was sad and I asked her why and she told me," Shikamaru said.
"I hope you know I'm going to hurt you," I told him.
"Gaara don't," Temari said. I looked away from him.
"I just don't like you keeping secrets from me," I told her.
"Well maybe you should stop threatening to hurt my friends then," she told me.
"I'm sorry, it's just that you're my older sister," I said.
"I know," Temari said.
Temari P.O.V.
"Oh by the way, I'm giving you permission to prank Deidara's friends if you want; they are real jerks," I told Gaara.
"So his friends had something to do with you braking up with him?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, but there were lots of reasons," I told them.
"You like someone else don't you?" Naruto said smirking.
"How the hell do you always know when someone likes someone else?" Kiba asked.
"Oh, so you admit you like Hinata," he said.
"Hey, that was a dirty trick," Kiba said. Naruto smirked.
"So you do," Naruto said.
"Yeah, it's not a secret anymore now," he said angrily.
"It never was a secret," said Sasuke.
"What do you mean by that?" Kiba asked.
"The whole class knows you like her, so just give it up," Sasuke told him.
"Damn it," Kiba said angrily.
"So who do you like Temari?" Lee asked.
"No one, why must I have to break up with someone because I like someone else," I said.
"It's Shikamaru," Naruto said.
"Shut up," I told him.
"Oh so it is him, and does he know this?" he asked. I blushed; Naruto is really good at telling if someone likes someone else. It's scary.
"Well sans it's not a secret anymore because of you, yes he does know," I told them.
Neji, Lee and Tenten turned to Kankuro.
"So what were they really doing when you came to check to see if they were here?" Lee asked.
"Nothing they were just talking," he told them. I like that he will lie for me but he doesn't have to.
"No we weren't, we weren't saying anything," I said. Shikamaru was sitting there quietly; he probably didn't want to get involved. They looked at us. "We weren't doing that either," I said.
"Well then what were you doing?" Kiba asked.
"Sitting here," I said.
"Sure you were," Naruto said.
"Hey guys, it is none of your biasness what we were doing," Shikamaru told them.
"Sure it is where your friends," Lee said.
"Well if you really want to know we'll show you," I told them.
"What?" Shikamaru said.
"Oh come on we weren't doing anything," I said.
"But I don't like you that close," he said.
"Huh?" said Kankuro.
"Come on you're going to have to learn to live with it," I said.
"But...But," Shikamaru said. "Your brothers are right there," he pointed.
"They can't do anything I'm here I'll stop them," I said.
"To hell you will stop me!" Gaara yelled. I glared at him. "Fine," he said.
"See Shika, so come on," I said.
"Alright," Shikamaru said, and I got closer to him. He put his arm around me and I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Is that all?" Sasuke asked.
"Yep," I said.
"Well why did you have to make such a big deal out of that Shikamaru?" Neji asked. He turned red and never answered.
"He really likes you doesn't he," Naruto said.
"Shut up Naruto, I can't help it," Shikamaru told him. Then the lights in the gym went on and the music stopped.
"We have to run out of here before the popular kids see us," Sasuke said and him, Gaara, Kiba, and Naruto went running for the door.
"We'll meet you outside!" they yelled to us.
"I have to go too, Ino is pissed at me," Shikamaru said getting up. "I'll meet you guys out side too." And he took off.
"I guess it's just us five," I said.
"Yeah, we don't need to rush, let's just wait a while and then go," Kankuro said. So we waited tell most of the people had gone.
Gaara P.O.V.
"Ware is Sakura, she has been gone for a while," I heard Ino say as we ran by.
"Uh oh, what side of the school did the body fall off of again?" I asked Sasuke.
"Behind the school, so the popular kids will see it as soon as they leave," he told me.
"Good, I thought we were going to see it first. And they are wondering where she is, I just heard Ino ask where she was," I told him.
"Well they will see her soon won't they," Kiba said. We ran to the end of the hall and were almost out when we saw Tsunade. We turned around and raced back and turned down a different hall.
"Let's go get our stuff from our lockers and the see if she is still there when we get back," Shikamaru said. So we went and got our stuff that we brought to school for the day.
"Hey, I thought you guys were going to run out side," I said when I saw Gaara at his locker.
"We were but Tsunade was there blocking the way because there is still ten minutes of school," he told me.
"We'll we will sneak out then," Kankuro said. We went back to the front of the school and she was still there so we snuck out the side.
"Do you think they will know we left?" Naruto asked.
"Who cares, we got out of school early and it's the weekend tomorrow," I said.
"We should all do something this week end," Shikamaru said.
"Like what?" Tenten asked.
"I don't know just something," he said.
"How about a Halloween party tonight," Temari said.
"Like any of our parents would let us have a party at one of our houses tonight on such short notice," Sasuke said.
"We can have it at our house, but you guys will have to bring your own snacks and music and stuff," Kankuro said. So everyone went to ask their parents if they could.
