Shoes ---Sand sibs.
Ugh! Just once, couldn't those boys pick up after themselves?
Looking around her, Temari decided that, no, apparently they couldn't. Gaara kept his room somewhat neat at least, which was more than she could say for Kankuro. Or for the rest of the house for that matter. Except, of course, her room and the kitchen.
Now, usually Temari put up with most of the mess. She'd even managed to get some semblance of order to it. There was something of a compromise between the three of them. But that was usually.
Today, whatever the reason, Temari was in a rather bad mood. Her brothers might, just might, have avoided their sister's wrath if they hadn't chosen this particular day to be lazy and not uphold all of their end of the bargain. The one day Temari was in a lousy mood was the one they just happened to forget her pet peeve.
"Gaara! Kankuro!"
Up in his room, Gaara winced slightly. He'd learned very quickly that one did not get on the wrong side of Temari. Which was why he quickly put down his book and went to the top of the stairs to see what his sister wanted.
"Hai, nee-san?"
Temari glared up at her youngest brother. He didn't flinch, but he didn't necessarily like that look either. Whatever it was, he hoped it wasn't his fault.
"Where's Kankuro?"
"Uh, in his room, I think."
"Get him and get down here!"
"Yes'm."
Gaara disappeared down the hall. Temari stalked back to the entrance. They knew how she was about this. A moment later, Gaara and Kankuro poked their heads into the room, only to promptly disappear.
"Get back here!"
They did so. They'd left their shoes and jackets scattered around. The one thingthey knew their sister hated.
A book could be left on the hall floor. A glass could be forgotten in the living room. There could be sandy tracks from the door, all the way upstairs. Trivial little things Temari would deal with, things she didn't mind so much.
But leave a shoe out of place, or not hang up a jacket or scarf, and you faced a very not happy Temari. A not happy Temari wasn't good for Gaara or Kankuro, particularly the latter, because she could hurt him. Bad for both though, because a not happy Temari wouldn't make dinner. And she knew full well neither of her brothers could cook.
Thus explaining why the two of them quickly proceeded to clean up the doorway.

Miszy-Anne: Cuteness is good. Neji and Hinata getting along is lots of fun to write. I think my favorite so far was "Listen".
I like Sakura okay. Ino bugs the hell out of me though. Meh.
Neji's awesome. Seriously. And I cheered when Gaara finally came back. I missed the cute little raccoon. (I know I'm not the only one that calls him that. But it just fits him so well.)
moray: Of course you may request an Iruka drabble! I can't believe I forgot about him. (shame) It's been a while since I saw him at all though, so that's probably why. But I like Iruka too, so he shall have a drabble.
Jean/strawberry...? OH! I knew your name sounded familiar. You're the one that writes the "Short Stories" for FMA. I love those. (Havoc needs some love sometimes) Huzzah for the "Muffin Alchemist"!
You like my writing? And drabble collections? Have you tried my FMA drabbles? The collection's called "Just Between Us".
