Chapter eleven The Decision1
"Well, let's go," Kankurou said.
"Bye, Shino, come visit me, sometimes, and I'll visit you," Temari said.
"I'll walk you to Konoha Gates," Shino said, leading the 4 Sand-Nins to the Gates of Konoha.
"…I guess, Sasuke's not coming," Kala said, quietly, so only Gaara and Temari could hear her.
"GAARA!" a voice of a certain pink haired girl called.
"Sakura?" Gaara questioned.
"You weren't even going to come tell me bye!" Sakura accused, as Kankurou watched the two with amusement.

"Are you two through?" Temari asked, risking a peek at Kala.
"Yes," Gaara answered.
"Promise to come visit, Gaara?" Sakura pleaded!
"…Fine," the normally quiet boy said, as he and the others left, with Kala.
3
"Kankurou, I think something's bothering Kala," Temari whispered.
"Whatever it is, she'll get over it," Kankurou shrugged.
4
"Maybe, I should've went to see her off? I probably won't be seeing her, until who knows when?" Sasuke thought to himself, "But she had no right to tell me to leave like that, like she didn't give a damn!"
5
"Kala…what's wrong with you?" Gaara asked, once they were back in Suna.
"I was just thinking," replied Kala, a solemn look on her face.
"Thinking about why the Uchiha didn't come to say bye?" Gaara questioned.
"Uh huh," Kala said, in a monotone voice.
"Forget him, he's not important," Gaara said.
"How can I just forget him? He was my first friend," Kala said, her voice staring to break.
"…You better not cry!" Gaara said, following Kala in their house.
"I'm going to my room," Kala said, leaving Gaara in the foyer.
"I'm going to go talk to her," Temari said, once she and Kankurou were also in the foyer.
"Knock yourself out," Kankurou said, as he headed to the kitchen.
"…"Gaara sighed, heading towards his own room.

'Knock, knock,' Temari knocked on Kala's bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Kala asked.
"Me," Temari answered, opening the wooden door.
"I want to talk to you for a little bit," she said.
"Fine," Kala agreed, when Temari shut the door, and came and sat beside her on the bed.
"Tell me what's bothering you!" Temari ordered.
"I was just thinking about Sasuke…" Kala trailed off.
"Are you two mad at each other?" Temari questioned.
"I don't know, I just know he didn't come to see me off," Kala said, on the verge of tears.
"Oh, well, maybe you should call him," Temari suggested.
"NO! I won't give in to his little games, I don't want him to think I need him!" Kala snapped.
"Okay, okay, calm down!" Temari said, trying to calm down the younger girl.
"…" Kala sighed, trying to control her choleric emotions.

"Who are you calling?" Gaara asked, when he saw Kankurou on the phone.
"The Uchiha bastard," Kankurou replied, watching as Gaara sat down at the kitchen table.
8
"Hello!" came a tired voice on the other side of the phone.
"Uchiha, why didn't you come, and tell Kala bye?" Kankurou asked, almost yelling into the phone!
"Because she asked me to leave the house, so she could talk to Temari, so I figured if she didn't want to see me then, why should I meet her at Konoha Gates?" Sasuke questioned.
"Well, because of you, she's not smiling, or…" Kankurou trailed off.

"Kankurou, who are you talking to?" Kala asked, walking into the kitchen with Temari.
"Ahh, Kala, how nice to see you, I'm just talking to my friend, um, John," Kankurou lied.
"You don't have a friend named John!" Kala said, eyeing Kankurou suspiciously, "Now, tell me who you're talking to!"
"It's none of your business!" Kankurou said, backing up towards the foyer.
"…Gaara who's Kankurou talking to?" Temari asked, kindly.
"I'm not getting into this," the redhead said, and walked past Kankurou, and went up the steps.
"HELLO?" Sasuke yelled from the other end of the phone line.
"SASUKE!" Kala exclaimed, grabbing the phone from Kankurou, "What hell do you want?"
"Kankurou called me, and said you were upset, because I didn't come say bye at the Konoha Gates," Sasuke explained.
"KANKUROU WHAT?" Kala exclaimed, now glaring at her older brother.
"I was going to come see you, but you don't seem happy about talking to me, so I'm not coming," Sasuke said, calmly.
"I don't care, I don't know why you're so mad, anyway," Kala said, just as calmly.
"You don't know why? I was helping you pack, and you just flat out said I had to leave. Just like you think I'm here for your needs only!" Sasuke snapped.
"That's not true, I had to help Temari with something, and she comes first, because she's my sister. Blood is thicker than water, Sasuke, and last time I checked, we weren't even a couple!" Kala yelled, and hung up the phone, and going back upstairs.

"Well, at least she got to talk to him," Kankurou said, ignoring Temari's glare.
