Winter Break Part 2

Kankuro decided that he wasn't such a bad skater after all. After finally getting into the rink and falling twice, he was able to stray from the wall of the rink and join the fast past inside circle skating route. He kept to himself, not finding anyone practically interesting, and let his mind float around the rink.

There's Temari and Shikamaru, by the snack counter, why are they so close? She rants about him all the time, hating his guts. And wasn't he dating Ino or Sakura or someone before? And… and… and now they're kissing. And her hands are in his back pockets doing, god knows what. Gross.

Kankuro wrinkled his nose and scowled in distaste. Well, THAT was sudden. He glanced around the rink again, hoping for something to take his mind off of his sister social life. Thankfully on the other side of the rink, Kankuro spied his little brother falling on to someone, yet again.

Well at least I'm not the only one falling all over the place. But it's strange; he only ever falls on girls. Older girls for that matter… Pervert. Was there any innocence in this family?

Kankuro chuckled darkly to himself.

Now that was a good one. Innocence, ha!

A sharp turn of one of the skaters around him brought Kankuro out of his thoughts. A quick scan around the rink, show him that there was no obvious threat but his years of expertise told him that the guy with the long coat needed to be watched.

At first, Kankuro didn't understand why but then he realized the guy was following his little brother around the rink. Around and around the man followed, coincidently slowing down whenever Gaara fell on a girl yet never touching him. Kankuro didn't get why the man was following his brother but he did know that whatever he was planning was about to happen. And to HIS brother.

In ninja mode, Kankuro zoomed across the rink ready to put up a fight for Gaara. Unfortunately, Kankuro didn't get within 15 feet of his brother or the man before a small figure crashed into him going almost at the same speed he was.

"Hey! Watch it, asshole!" Kankuro growled out, now sprawled out on the cold ice floor of the rink and the figure now sprawled out on top of him. It was not comfortable.

"And….GET OFF!"

"I would if you'd get off MY leg, BAKA!" The figure yelled back, and punched his arm.

"Wait, I'm not on your leg." Kankuro struggled out from under the person and was met with the comical reality that they had started a massive panic with our collision. People were spread out on the floor all over the rink, some still falling and more trying and failing to get out of rink. Kankuro quickly spun around to find Gaara when he remembered the stalking man. Upon finding Gaara taking advantage of the situation by trying to help up a rather chesty college girl, Kankuro let out a sigh of relief.

"Um excuse me, jerk but I believe you owe me. Let's start with this." The person Kankuro had crashed into. A moment later, Kankuro found himself back on the rink floor. Kankuro grunted but wasn't really hurt for he has taken bigger hits before. Finally he looked up at his offender (who actually said it was his fault anyway?) and recognized who it was.

Melia.
