I am so stupid. How could I have trusted him?

I was running without an actual destination in mind, just sprinting through the village, hardly watching were I was going. Tears were dripping down my face and no matter how hard I tried; I could not stop the water works. That jerk! I didn't think he could be such a player. What was he doing this whole time, just going through the motions? I tried being nice, we kissed, and not just some peck, a full passionate kiss. What is wrong with me? Did I do or say something? UG!

Before I knew it I was already at my apartment. I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize how fast I was running. I slammed open the door and stopped to the kitchen. Our kitchen counter was usually filled with fruit and little bags of chips on the counter. I really needed some comfort food right now. I grabbed my favorite flavor of Dorito's and one apple and stashed them in my folded arms. I managed to walk up two stairs before noticing Gaara sitting on the couch. Gaara never displayed any kind of emotion. He always kept everything to himself. But, as his sister, I could tell when something was bothering him. Just his eyes told me everything. Ever since Naruto fought him at the chuunin exams, he's been a lot more kind and caring. I was hurting at the time also but I thought I should comfort him.

I walked down the two steps and plopped myself next to mi hermano menor. He only glanced at me for a fraction of a second before turning away. All my problems seemed to vanish when I saw how badly Gaara was hurting.

"What's wrong Gaara?" I asked in a soft, caring voice. He looked up at me looking like he couldn't hold back the tears building behind his eyes. My heart stopped and I was almost about to cry along with him. "Gaara?"

"I…I got dumped." He said, as a stray tears glided down his face. He then laid his head on my lap and I gently ran my hand through his hair.

"Who dumped you?" I asked. I never knew that Gaara was even dating. He never tells us anything about his personal life. I wonder who he was going out with. I was imagining all the Kunoichis that Gaara could possibly like. Sakura?…EW! NO!...Ino?...Maybe, I would defiantly kill her if it was. Hinata? We would have a serious talk if Hinata broke my little brother's heart. I like Hinata but if she hurt Gaara this bad than she needs to be put in her place. Nah. I couldn't be Hinata. She is too shy for all that stuff. Hmmm.

"It was Tenten. She left me today." Gaara said at a whisper level. Tenten! She was my best friend. Ooooo! That girl was going to get it.

"Don't worry Gaara, I'll take care of her." I said as I put the food I was carrying on the table, thinking Gaara would need them more than me right now, and headed towards the door.

"Don't kill her." He said. Kill her? Why would I do that? I'm not a heartless bitch. Well, to one person I am.

"No promises." I said jokingly to him. I walked out the door and went down the stairs to the main drag. When I looked to my left, I saw none other than Shikamaru walking towards me. He has some balls if he thinks that I would even consider talking to him right now. Not after the way he hurt me.

"Temari. Listen to me." he said. I jerked my head away from him and pouted like a little kid.

"Go away jerk!" I yelled at him, hoping that I could hurt him as much as he hurt me. Maybe if I ignore him long enough he would go away.

"Temari you're being a baby. I didn't mean to make you upset."

"Well, you sure did a good job of it." I yelled, ironically ignoring my ignoring plan.

"You don't understand. It…"

"I do understand. You're just a player…"

"I am anything but that…"

"I said go away!"

"I won't. Why are you so troublesome Temari?" he screamed.

"All I am is troublesome to you. Why don't you just go away and fuck someone else who gives a fuck about you!" at this point I was crying, almost tempted to run before I heard something that stopped me dead in my tracks.

"Because I love you Temari. Gosh! I thought that was obvious." I looked at him, stunned by his words. I couldn't believe he just said that. I didn't realize this; how could I have been so dumb. We stood there for a couple of minutes before I looked down at the ground, breaking our staring contest.

"You have a weird way of showing it." I said.

"I'm not too good with girls." He said. I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked at him.

"Well, you've got to prove that to me. How 'bout a date tonight?" I asked with a smirk on my face.

"Yeah, anything. You name it." He said.

"Okay, Red Lobster, tonight. Pick me up at six thirty." I said as I turned around to walk away. He didn't say anything back; he just walked in the opposite direction. I couldn't believe he said he loved me. I am exited just thinking about those words. Tonight is going to be an amazing night. Well, right after I deal with Tenten.

I reached a main intersection in the village when I realized I forgot where Tenten's house was. I looked up at the street sign, trying to decide which way to go. Fuck. I should've asked Gaara for directions.

"TEMARI!" yelled a loud voice from the distance. "I'm going to kill you!" I looked over to see Ino marching her little ass over to me. She looked pretty steamed. I wonder what I did.

"How dare you hurt Shikamaru like that. I ought a beat you to a pulp right now. When you left him, he started to cry. You are a selfish bitch. You know that?" she said as she had an extremely scary look in her eyes. I almost cried knowing I hurt Shikamaru that much. This actually made me love him more. "He was already hurt after our breakup and then you come along giving him hope and joy and crush it like a bug. SLUT!"

Her words didn't get to me. I knew that she still had a thing for Shikamaru and I could tell she was trying to vent through me.

"Well, well, I'll have you know that we are back together and having a date tonight." I said as I had a huge smile on my face. I was probably the happiest girl in the world right now. Nothing could make this moment better. "And WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SLUT YOU TRAMP. I WILL KILL YOU!" We started yelling over each other, calling each other the meanest names you could think of.

"Shutup!" Someone yelled, obviously upset with the noises we were making. "You losers are annoying." He continued. Ino and I both looked to the direction the insults came from to see Neji standing there with his arms folded. "What are you two arguing about?" he asked.

"None of your concern Neji!" Ino yelled. "Beat it you white eyed freak!"

"As you wish." Neji said as he turned to walk away.

"Wait!" I screamed. I needed to know where Tenten lived and I had a gut feeling that she was on his team. He stopped and looked back at me.

"What is it now?" he asked

"Are you on Tenten's team?" I asked.

"Yes. What of it?"

"I need to know where she lives." I asked, realizing that the request was a little weird. He stopped and looked at me for a little bit, trying to figure out why I wanted to know where her living courters were.

"I'm not obliged to answer." He said with a slight grin on his face. I thought for a moment before wondering whether he knew about Gaara's breakup. I could use that to an advantage.

"I have a message for her from Gaara, her boyfriend. Unless….You want to…"

"Turn left at the intersection and it is the second yellow house." he said really fast. "Just don't drag me into any of this."

"Much appreciated. Bye." I said as I left Ino and Neji there alone.

It was time for some pay backs.
