A bit startle Gaara stared at Temari with a look that was half angry and half confused, "What do you mean he's coming home?"

"Well," she hesitated for a second, "he called today and said he was done in Germany so he's, uhm, coming home."

"Germany?!" Naruto popped his head into the room with wide eyes. "Your dad can go to Germany?"

Gaara's look changed into disgust, "That man is not my father." Abruptly he walked out of the room. With a raised eyebrow Taryn followed him, and placed a hand on his shoulder before he was able to lock himself in his room.

"What was that about?" she asked.

"Nothing." He replied shortly. Harshly. Oh, hell no. He was not going to just close off himself. Not away from her.

Her grip tightened on his wrist and she narrowed her dark ocean eyes. "What the hell, Gaara?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Go away." Gaara yanked his wrist away from her and moved toward his door, opening it.

"Gaara-"

"Leave me the fuck alone." He snapped.

Taryn stood in the doorway, dumbfounded. He slammed the door in her face and she stepped back away from him. What the fuck? she thought. Anger began to boil inside her and she had half a mind to kick in his door and demand that he talk to her, but she didn't. Instead she decided she wanted to take t out on Temari and Kankuro.

Storming back into her room she narrowed her eyes placing her hands on her hips. "What the fuck was that about and why doesn't Gaara want to talk about it?"

She was not amused in the least. Especially since she was still on house arrest for letting Gaara convince her to deal with Nicholas. It wasn't his fault that he ended up dead, but still... she killed someone for letting him help her. So he didn't die, for Naruto, for herself even. And for her Father. If not for anyone else she did it for her Dad. And Gaara knew that. He knew that she would never have done anything if not for him, and now he was going to cut her off from him? She don't think so.

"Well?" Taryn demanded. Temari sighed and shook her head.

"It's not really my place to-"

"Bullshit!" She nearly shouted. "Y'all know every damn thing about me and Naruto but we can't know one God damned thing about why Gaara acts like he has a fucking man period when his father is mentioned?!"

Kankuro widened his eyes for a minute then bent over laughing. "Man period? Seriously?"

Taryn seemed to puff up like a blow fish and she stepped toward him menacingly. His laughter died instantly and he backed up. "Fine. Don't tell me... Just one thing, though."

"What?" Temari asked gently.

"Will your Father have a man period," she glared at Kankuro, "if he finds out we're here?"

Temari shook her head. "No. I already told him."

"One other thing?" Taryn asked, her back to them as they moved to the door. "When is he coming back?"

Week Later (Go laziness wooo xD)

Taryn was sitting in the kitchen with a triumphant smirk on her dark blue lips. A police officer was kneeling on the ground removing her little house arrest gadget thingy. The cop stood and looked at her.

She cocked her head and shrugged, "Do you know how hard it is to shave around that damned thing?" She wiggled her foot, and jumped off the chair.

"No. I don't." He chuckled shaking his head. "Don't get in trouble."

"Oh, I won't. Don't you get in trouble... Or you'll have to learn how to shave around it." She winked and waltzed out of the room.

Naruto walked into the living room and tossed something at Taryn. She caught it and smiled widely when she saw what it was. Her skateboard. "Hell yes!" She turned to the door and paused; she was going to ask if Gaara wanted to come but she frowned and opened the door turning to go out. "C'mon Naruto." She said.

"You gonna invite Gaa-"

"No. He wants to brood, then fine. He can stay in his room and be an ass for all I care."

Later that night when they returned, it was near dark. Taryn and Naruto went out for dinner and now they'd just gotten back.

A new car was in the driveway. Taryn stopped for a second, brushed it off, and continued inside. Closing the door behind her and Naruto Taryn took off her shoes and walked into the kitchen where she heard rustling. Once in the doorway she stopped. Kankuro, Gaara, Temari and an older man sat there. The older man was wearing a button up stripped polo shirt with a pair of lose jeans. He looked casual. That must be their Father. She thought.

All eyes turned toward the twins standing in the doorway. "Are we interrupting something?" Taryn wondered aloud.

The man stood up and put on a smile showing his obviously dentally bleached teeth. "No, no." he assured them. "Come in, sit." He made Taryn uneasy. Something about him reminded her about Nick. She didn't like him. At all. He may have looked like he cared, but she could tell that he was as fake as Taylor's boobs. "My name is Syrn." (I dunno his dad's name, so I made one up... xD)

"Taryn." She responded shortly. "My brother, Naruto." She pointed over her shoulder at him. Her stormy eyes flicked to Gaara for a millisecond before going back to his father.

"Kankuro what a lovely woman you have." Syrn chuckled. Taryn nearly choked and Kankuro paled; Gaara's eyes grew dark and narrowed into slits. No one said a word for a long moment after that.

Taryn, one who didn't much care for the respect of others placed her hands on her hips and glared at Syrn. "There is no way in hell that I'd ever even consider dating that man-whore."

Syrn looked taken aback, and for a moment his gaze darkened reminding Taryn not only of Nick's menacing stare, but of Gaara's annoyed, impatient one. Then in an instant his facial expression changed once more back to the smiling man he was moments before.

"Well, I guess I've never thought of my son that way."

Taryn raised a slim eyebrow, "If anything, the one son I'd associate me with is Gaara."

The look that crossed Syrn's face was one Taryn knew well and would never, ever want to see again.
