'Sup there y'all

We left off when… :

She caught them deftly and after looking at it for a few seconds, she put it on the bedside table. She looked around the room and to where the sun was setting outside with a sigh.

"This is going to be one hell of a fucking month, and a looonngg night." She said in irritation.

Chapter 10.

He had it coming.

Temari woke up. She blinked at her unfamiliar surroundings. Then she remembered. Crap. She sat upright and tightened her four hair bunches as she swung her feet onto the cold floor. She couldn't sleep because she had an urge to go and explore the unknown.

She diverted chakra to her feet so as to cover any noise and walked slowly over to the door. She jumped as one of the floorboards creaked beneath her, and frowned at her scared-ness. She was Kura-Taka damn it! She shouldn't be afraid of anything, they should be afraid of her.

She opened the door quietly and looked out into the dimly lit corridors. Biting her lip she ventured out of her room and crept out along the hallway. It wasn't until she reached the end of the corridor, then she understood where her feet were taking her. The room at the end of the hall.

She reached out her hand to grasp the handle, curiosity building to a peak within her. At that moment however, she was startled by a loud growling from down the hall. She turned to see one small and one large dog growling at her. She nervously took her hand away from the handle and moved towards them. They growled again and the small one moved forwards slightly.

"Ok…Ok…I'm sorry. I got curious. I won't go in there if you don't want me to. But leave me the fuck alone so I can go back to my room…" She apologised quickly as she hastily moved towards them as they stood in front of her bedroom door.

The big one moved off and went back to the dog's quarters, whereas the small one stayed in front of her door. She went to put her hand on her door handle and the dog growled and moved even closer towards her until he was almost touching her.

"Aw fuck, don't go and bite me." Temari grimaced. The dog seemed to…laugh…at her and held up his paw. Surprised, she tentatively reached down and took it, as if to shake it's hand.

"You're a cute little girl aren't you." Temari crooned. The dog narrowed it's eyes at her and chomped down on her hand in reprimand. But before she could yell out, he was licking her hand to soothe it.

"God this is weird." She managed to say when the pain subsided. The dog nudged her leg suddenly and nodded his head towards the door at the end and then gave her a hard stare.

If…dogs are capable of that…Then again…He WAS a nindog…So never mind.

"Ok, Ok. I get it. No going in there because otherwise Kakashi Sensei will have my guts for garters and my bones for you guys to slobber over. Ok." Temari laughed softly, as the dog…rolled its eyes…really. It did.

Temari said a quick goodnight and patted the dog tentatively on the head, and was relieved when he didn't bite or bark at her and went back inside her room.

"Holy crap that was scary. Rule 1, never mess with or insult the dogs, or give them the wrong genders…" Temari said to herself as she looked in the full length mirror by the wall.

She checked her hand where the dog had bit her. Weird, there was no marking at all.

"Great. Now they have fucking healing powers. Brilliant. Now if I get bitten unjustly, I can't complain. Fucking amazing." She muttered angrily, slipping under the covers and promptly falling asleep under the cover of darkness.

"Kakashi." Pakkun called, pawing at his Masters door gently.

"Come in Pakkun." Came the tired reply. Pakkun jumped up and grabbed the handle with his front paws, letting his weight pull the handle down so as to open the door.

"Everything is ok. She got up and almost opened the door at the end, but Bull and I turned up before she could. She apologised by herself and is now in bed. Stage 1 is half complete." He said, trotting in and letting the door close behind him as Kakashi let himself flop back down on the bed and draw the covers over himself.

"Brilliant, thanks Pakkun." Kakashi said, patting the covers. Pakkun launched up onto the bed and curled up beside him.

"Although, never again will I let that girl call me a 'cute lil' girl'." Pakkun growled tiredly with a yawn.

Kakashi chuckled quietly and stroked Pakkun rhythmically until they were both fast asleep.

I know this one was short, but hey. LOL. I wouldn't forget Pakkun now, would I? xD

I promise guys,
