Temari sighs as she walks back to the house with Shikamaru. Shikamaru looks over at her concerned. "What's wrong?"
"I'm worried that something terrible might have happened to the kids," She murmurs. "I'd hate for everyone to blame us for the disappearance of an entire group of some of the villages' most powerful upcoming ninjas."
He nods in agreement. He takes a deep breath and turns to her. "Everything will be okay 'Mari," He looks into her eyes and kisses her. "We just have to keep trying hard and search in more places. "
She blushes, "S-Shika?"
He smiles lazily and walks ahead of her. She smirks and runs after him. She jumps onto his back, "Onward!"
He smiles and runs to the house. He freezes, "Temari?"
"Yea?" She asks.
"Why are the lights on in the house? We just left Kankuro at the ramen shop."
"Maybe its robbers," she gets off his back and pulls out her fan.
They sneak up to the house. They slowly open the door. They stop suddenly.
"My little Raa!" Temari pounces on Gaara who had been sitting on the couch. "Oh my goodness I'm so glad you are okay!" She checks him for an injuries.
The now back to normal Gaara gives his sister an amused look. "Little Raa? You haven't called me that since I was four." He pulls the arm she was checking away.
She squeezes him more as she realizes he wasn't a toddler anymore. "You're back to normal!"
"They all are," Shikamaru says as he motions to the now full room of former children.
"Little Raa, huh?" Both Naruto and Kiba snigger.
Gaara glares at them as Temari gets off of him.
"How'd you guys get here?" Temari makes sure all are present.
"We aren't really sure," answers Sakura.
Ino nods, "We woke up and were here."
Shikamaru thinks, "What was he last thing you guys remember?"
"Being in a field with the hokage," murmurs Tenten.
Shikamaru looks to Temari, "I see. Well at least you all are safely here."
They all nod in agreement.
"Luckily though you all get to see what happened! Thankfully Saki's place is decked with security and I have the tape!" Temari giggles holding the DVD up. "You were all such cute kids!"
A chorus of groans is heard as Temari puts in the DVD's and a night of home movies ensue.
The end of yet another story! I hope you all enjoyed it! And happy late fourth of July to all the Americans out there.
