Growing Up Sand-Nin Style
WELCOME TO YET ANOTHER KYU&RYNN SEQUEL! ASK YOU KNOW, I AM SNG, AND I WILL BE HOSTING THIS MAGNIFICENT EVENT!
Kyuubi: We're all screwed.
Summary: If you think Gaara's childhood was weird, how do you think it would be for his SON?? Kankurou and Gaara let their children out lose in the world... Learning life's lessons the hard way. (Non-yaoi/shonen-ai)
If you just got her and have no idea who Kyu and Rynn are... Well, you missed alot. I shall fill you in.
(deep breath)
Kyuubi: Oh god.
Kyu and Rynn (who is Kiba's overly protected little sister) are two girls that Kankurou and Gaara met at Sasuke's party some time ago (see 'A Night To Remember,' chaps. 1-2). Kankurou adores Kyu with every fiber of his being, and Gaara adores Rynn enough not to squish her when she's annoying (which she can be). Kyu, Rynn and Shikamaru (Temari's fiance at the time; now husband) moved into Sunaga to live with them. The Konohas (as I call them) went back for two weeks to visit family, except Kyu came home 13 days early because her best friend kissed her and she wanted Kan-kun (but who wouldn't?). During that time, Kankurou and Gaara worked on a seal for Shukaku, which proved successful (yay! Shukaku: No! No yay!). Kankurou found out about a week after sealing Shukaku that Kyu was pregnant.
Thus leading to the scene you are about to read.
Chapter One: W.T.F.?
"KANKUROU!!"
"What?" (Groaned)
"GET YOUR ASS UP!"
"Temari, what're you doin' in my room...?" Kankurou blinked as light flooded his previously darkened room.
"Well, for starters, you left the door unlocked," she answered, going in the closet and throwing a shirt and a pair of pants at him. "Second, your wife is having a baby."
And it can be said that Kankurou was awake now.
"Since when?" he snapped, pulling on his shirt.
"Well, she tried to get you to wake up, but heaven forbid you be awake during the birth of your child." Temari turned around so he could change his pants.
Kankurou glared. "Shut up. My meeting ran late last night and I was tired."
"If that's the story you're going to go with, may I remind you of what happened when Gaara missed the first half hour of Rynn's labor?"
Flashback
"YOU ASSHOLE, THIS IS YOUR FAULT, WHY THE HELL COULDN'T YOU BE HERE ON TIME?!" Rynn shouted, grabbing Gaara by his scalp.
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" he shouted back, pulling at her hand. "I SLEPT IN!"
"I DON'T CARE!" Rynn shouted, banging Gaara's head against the bedpost. Kankurou and Shikamaru watched in horror as, slowly, Gaara lost his connection with reality. "IF I'M GONNA HAVE YOUR BABY, YOU'RE FUCKIN' GONNA BE HERE OR YOU WILL NEVER HAVE KIDS AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE KICK I'M GONNA GIVE YOU!"
"I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!" Gaara yelped as the bedpost switched places with the wall.
"Um, Rynn?" Kankurou began weakly. "I don't think your kid wants a father with brain damage either--"
"SHUT UP, YOU STUPID BASTARD!"
"Ok, ok..." And Kankurou left Gaara to his fate.
"I've always thought the pregant woman's language fascinating," Shikamaru commented, watching as Gaara then got his head beaten against the wall behind Rynn's bed. "Quite colorful, really."
End Flashback
And a shudder passed through those two siblings.
"Kyu's not like that," Kankurou protested. "She's alot calmer then Rynn."
Temari shrugged. "If you say so."
At the hospital...
"HOW DARE YOU, YOU STUPID BASTARD!" Kyu screamed, clawing at Kankurou's face. "HOW 'BOUT YOU HAVE THE BABY, AND I'LL BE LATE!?"
"Wow..." Gaara starred at Kyu's legs. "Do that again!" he cried, pointing at the blood-soaked baby the doctor held.
Death glare scale: 9
"Or not."
"Actually, you don't have much of a choice," the doctor said, handing the baby to the nurse for cleaning.
"Why not?!" Kyu shouted, turning on the poor doctor (who's just doing his job).
"There's two."
"Wow." Rynn's eyes widened. "Kyu NEVER looks at ME like that. Lucky guy."
"TWO!?" was the general outcry.
Kyu glared at Kankurou, who nodded. "I'll just bang my own head, now."
He then proceeded to do so.
(S.N.G. hits the fast-forward button)
Six years later
"I'm not going!"
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Why not?!"
"Because cloths shopping is stupid!"
Kyu, Temari and Rynn looked at each other. Before them sat three very stubborn six year olds, their lower lips forming a very noticable pout, and their chubby arms crossed.
"Cloths shopping is stupid," echoed one, a boy, with auburn hair, angry green eyes and red, fang-like tattoos on his cheeks. "I'm not going."
"If Yukan-chan doesn't have to go, neither am I!" snapped the only other boy, a very cute one (as they all were) with spiky black hair and large, bright blue eyes eyes.
"If Kurou doesn't have to go, I don't have to go, either!" said the only little girl, nodding knowingly. The girl was much different from her fellows, with long, smooth red hair and pale green eyes.
"You're all going!" snapped Temari, pulling the auburn-haired boy to his feet. "That's final!"
"You're not my mommy, Aunt Temari!" the boy shouted, twisting his arm in a Herculian effort to get free. "Daddy's gonna be mad when I tell him!"
"No, Daddy will do whatever Mommy says," Rynn said cooly, taking the twisting boy from Temari, and holding him by the back of his shirt, much like one would hold an unruly puppy by the scruff of their necks. "And mommy says it's time to shop."
"That's right," agreed Kyu, grabbing the remaining boy, who instantly began struggling like his life depended on it. "You three are going to begin Ninja school soon, and you need the right kind of clothes. Temari, grab Kura for me."
"Ok." Temari nodded and grabbed the girl, who didn't struggle, but glared daggers at her aunt.
"This is stupid!" the little girl whined as she was carried away. "I don't wanna be a ninja!"
"You're just stupid, Kura," mocked the boy called Kurou. "You have to be a ninja! Daddy's the Kazekage, for cryin' out loud!"
"Shut up, I knew that!" snapped Kura. "I don't have to be a ninja, though!"
"Come on, guys, enough," Kyu said in a tired voice, clamping Kurou under one arm as she walked away towards the street where the clothes stores where located.
"I wanna go with Aunt T!" whined the scruffy boy named Yukan, twisting in his mother's arms. "She gets me good clothes!"
"Temari is going with Kura to get her girl clothes. Unless you want girl clothes, you're going with me," Rynn argued, tightening her grip around the angry boy as he twisted in her grip.
"I'll go with you," Yukan began, with the air of one making a treaty between nations, "If you get me a hoody like Kiba-jisan."
"We'll see," Rynn answered, through a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
"That's not fair, we want a solid answer!" Yukan whined.
"Who's we?" Temari asked, allowing Kura, who resigned to her fate, to walk beside her, holding her hand.
"We don't have to tell you," Yukan said in a lofty voice.
"Who are you talking about, Yukan-chan?" Kyu asked, grinning. She was a favorite of the wild little boy, and she knew it, thus enabling her to harnass the power to use his admiration to her advantage.
"Abareru," he answered, after a few moments of thought, producing a rumpled puppy out of the bib of his over-alls. "Pops got him for me."
"You're going to squish him," Kura protested as Yukan replaced the pup in his over-alls.
"No, I won't!" Yukan shouted, instantly offended. "He likes it in there!"
"How do you know?!" Kura countered, readying herself for a fight.
"He told me," Yukan said plainly, grinning (revealing two missing teeth in the top front).
"Inuzuka dogs are alot more sturdy then normal dogs," Rynn explained. "We breed them like that, so they can go anywhere, and won't get easily injured in battle."
"Daddy said I can't get a pet 'till I'm thirty," Kurou complained, testing to see that Kyu had a tight enough hold on him.
"That's probably a good thing," Temari pointed out. "Since your goldfish died five minutes after you got him home."
"Goldy died?!" Kurou cried, his eyes widening.
Kyu kicked Temari in the butt. "No, Kurou-kun. We told you he went to visit his relatives in the sewer, RIGHT, TEMARI!?"
"Huh?"
Kick.
"Oh, yeah! You know how it is!" Temari nodded, rubbing her sore rear. "Gotta see your family every now and then."
"Something tells me we're missing something," Kurou said over his shoulder to his twin.
Kura shook her head. "That's what they want you to think!"
"You're dumb, Kura," Yukan laughed. "Adults are stupid."
"AHEM!"
"What? You're moms. You're not adults," he cried.
Rynn raised an eyebrow. "I see." Turning to Kyu, who was next to her, she whispered, "Did you know that?"
"Nah. I actually paid attention in Ninja Biology and Sex Ed," Kyu said sarcastically.
"What's sex?" chorused three bright voices.
SNG'S LITTLE FAN FICTION NEWSLETTER:
ATTENTION CATHARSIS READERS!!
Due to the fact that Catharsis has gotten NO reviews whatsoever since I updated it, and due to the fact that the amount of reviews it has is pitiful, I will be removing it on January 1st. This is your last chance to go read it, if you liked it. And I don't care if people say "Oh, but it's so good, you should keep it up!" To be honest, I don't care; if it was so good, I'd have more reviews.
ALSO, NEJI FANS:
I am currently developing a fan fiction deticated solely to Neji (NOT Lee's List Of Manliness!), which will possibly be one of the most difficult fics I've written yet, owing to the fact that most of it is song chapters. The songs are basically just a group of songs that I think really describe Neji. If you have any ideas for songs you'd like me to use, please e-mail me and let me know the song name and the group, and whether or not you would like ackowledgement when the chapter is posted.
LIST OF SONGS SO FAR FOR NEJI-FIC:
Behind Blue Eyes, Limp Bizkit cover
Want, Disturbed
My December, Linkin Park
Hold On, Good Charlotte
Aerials, System Of A Down
Code Of Energy, Papa Roach
Going Under, Evanescence
Pts. Of Athrty, by Linkin Park
I Hate Everything About You, by Three Days Grace
Please let me know if you have any ideas!
ALSO: The holiday newsletter will be back with the next installment of all chapters for my fictions. Please let me know if you have a birthday during this time (sorry, I haven't been keeping a list... but I will now!) or if there are any new manga releases and/or Holiday fictions out there worth while.
Birthdays:
Jazzywolf (12-29)
KageNoKatana (11-29)
Jasmine Starlight (11-20)
(Sorry I sorta goofed...)
