"So, Temari should be somewhere in this forest…" Kankurou says. Gaara doesn't answer, afraid of showing that he too is worried. "Let's hurry, Gaara." Kankurou says. Gaara nods and they start running
When nearly finished, the guy jumps backwards, out of sight. Temari looks around her, not knowing from where he's gonna attack. She knows she's probably too late to dodge it, but tells herself to try it anyway. Then he hears the chirping of birds coming from behind her. "Kuso!" she shouts while turning around. The guy storms right up to her. Temari opens her fan and hides behind it.
"Birds?" Kankurou says surprised. 'Huh?' Gaara thinks. "Kuso! We have to run to that noise!" Gaara says, sounding more than serious and starts to run. Kankurou looks at him for a second, but then starts running too.
Temari grabs her chest. "Damn you!" she shouts crying. The guy grins "You think your poor fan would hold against that? Like I said; you ARE pathetic!" Then they here persons coming their way. "Kuso." The guy hisses and wants to run away, but Temari throws a kunai into his knee. He falls to the ground. "Bitch!" he hisses. "TEMARI!" a voice calls out. Temari dries her tears "I'm here!" she answers, but then coughs up blood. Gaara and Kankurou finally reach the place. Gaara kneels down next to Temari. "What happened to you?" he asks worried. "Sasuke? Of all people… you?" Kankurou says startled when he sees the guy lying on the ground. "Gaara no nii-san… Sasuke… attacked me…" Temari tries, but then starts to cry again. Gaara takes her into his arms.
"I used the Chidori on her and hit her chest, so she'll never survive." Sasuke says while pulling the kunai out of his knee. Somehow it's nearly healed already. "Oh you!" Kankurou says angrily, taking Karasu out of the bandages. Sasuke smirks and runs away. Kankurou wants to follow, but Gaara tells him not to. "Gaara… I… I want to tell… you something…" Temari says, and again coughing up blood. "Don't, Temari no nee-chan. You need the rest of your powers to survive this. I know you can!" Gaara says hopeful. "No, I can't…" Temari says. She looks at Gaara, then at the ground. "I… I love you, Gaara-kun…" she says blushing. Gaara is startled for second, but then kisses her forehead and says "I love you too my desert lily.". Temari smiles for a second, but then everything becomes black in front of her eyes. "Temari!" Kankurou shouts. "You can't die!" he falls to his knees. "I don't want you to die, nee-chan…" she starts letting tears. Then he finds out even Gaara cries. Not with sound, but Kankurou can see Gaara's tears. "Desert lily… my desert lily… rest in peace…" Gaara says softly, stroking her hair.
Now, only the wind blows……
