1She stared dully at Tamari with black eyes, not wanting her step-sister to come along. The blonde girl had just declared her intentions on coming with them and didn't look ready to back down.

"Temari, you stay to aid border security." Granny Chiyo stood on the ledge of a wall, looking down at the small group. Reyah looked up at her, wondering how she had managed to get up there. The old lady grinned a little bit at their surprise. "I'll represent the sand village myself."

Temari frowned and shouted up, "but granny Chiyo--"

"Don't treat me like a fossil!"

Reyah took a step back, her eyes a surprised bright yellow when Chiyo leapt from the wall, landing primly on all fours. She looked up, grinning at us. "It's been a while since I've taken care of my adorable grandchild."

The jade-colored girl laughed and patted Chiyo on the back as she rose. "I knew you had it in you, granny." Her eyes faded clear when she reminded herself of Maiko.

Chiyo looked at her sideways. "I can't force you to do anything, but this is your last chance, lady Kazekage. Didn't you swear when she was born that little Isako would have two loving parents to take care of her as she grew?"

She looked away, her eyes a hard lilac now. "I did, and I'm making sure that she will never lose a parent. I don't care what you say, Chiyo. I'm going to save him and make sure she grows up with a mother and a father."

Chiyo shrugged and began walking. "It seems to me that you are leaving her in danger of having no parents at all. Knowing your particular past, I wouldn't leave your child at that risk. But each to her own. Let's head out!"

--Hey, I'm leaving a note for once! This one was super short, I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of anything to write really. This is all gleaned from the manga book. Don't worry, I'm gonna make the next one really long, faithful to the manga, but with a little originality because it hurts to just copy things all the time. See you next time!
