Notes: I dedicated this to Tara-chan (icycreamluff)... And all of these chapters are dedicated to her... Duh. She simply adooores KankuroxTemari so muchie. Well, please read and review. I'd appreciate it more than ever if you actually do BOTH!
Chapter 2.
Temari sighed and rolled over in bed, purple covers draped securely (And warmly) around her body. She groaned trivially, shifting her position for she was quite uncomfortable. Temari could not sleep that night… What was she thinking of? It was that dream she had that night as well…
Dream;;;;;;
A blonde kunoichi (Temari) walked around a blank area where only her siblings stood. Each sibling was hanging off of a mini cliff separated from each other. The mini cliff had little spikes, or also known as 'Instant Death'. Temari's siblings could not use their powers to save themselves, for some reason. Temari had to choose one of them to save, yet let the other die.
Temari sprinted towards Gaara at first, then stepped back to stare at Kankuro. Kankuro stared at her strangely, a look she had seen before. Temari headed towards Kankuro, and then gazed at Gaara. Gaara did not have any emotions. Temari sprinted to Kankuro and rescued him, Gaara falling to his death….
Kankuro grinned, his hands on Temari's waist… Wait. That was strange. Abruptly, Kankuro leaned in to kiss Temari….
---
That was when Temari woke up, sweating all over and panting heavily. Why the hell would Temari kiss Kankuro? No, no… Temari did not desire her younger brother!
Kankuro lay in bed, his hands supporting his head. His body was sprawled on top of the too humid blankets. Kankuro had opened the windows since it was far too hot that day. A small glint of golden crept out of the mountains. As tired as he was, Kankuro did not fall asleep easily. Anxious eyes blinked twice, gazing up into the ceiling. His eyes always seemed to be hallucinating. He removed his arms from underneath his head. He fiddled with his fingers, looking around suspiciously.
A semi-loud THUMP was heard outside of Kankuro's room. Tensely, Kankuro jumped from his position in bed and leaped outside of his room. Huffing for air, he put his hand over his heart. False Alarm… Kankuro thought as he doubled over. Why was he so panicky? Noises like that never frightened him; nor surprised him at all.
A small shriek came from Temari's room. Kankuro leaped from his spot and sprinted to his sister's room.
Temari was on her bed, looking disturbed or shocked. She had her nose and mouth cupped in her hands. Kankuro stared at her for one second then walked to her bed. He sat down beside her and looked quite worried. Temari edged away from his worried gaze, on the verge of yelling, 'MOLEST!' Temari shuddered at Kankuro's touch, edging away even more. Kankuro cocked his head to one side, wondering what Temari was doing. Kankuro would always hug her or kiss her on the forehead, but even thought Kankuro merely touched Temari's arm, Temari looked instantly uncomfortable.
"… I'll leave since you're alright." Kankuro smiled reassuringly and stood up, leaving a crease on the bed.
Temari did not even look at Kankuro, greatly disturbed with her dream. She was in denial. Of course she thought that she did not love her brother in that way. Temari hugged her knees and began to cry quietly. Of course, of course… She was perplexed.
Kankuro plodded downstairs for a drink of water to clear his mind. No, he would need a whole cake to clear his mind from all this weird business. Why would his very own sister avoid him? They were siblings… Eternally. Why would some silly thing mess that up? Kankuro shrugged it off as he poured himself a cup of water. He began to sip his water quietly, when Gaara came down the stairs silently. The youngest sibling rubbed his eyes tiredly, yawning in the process. Kankuro smiled mentally, wishing he had a camera for these cute moments that rarely occurred.
"Why are you down here, Gaara?" Kankuro asked, sipping his water once again. Gaara turned to stare at his older, more respective brother. Gaara shrugged slightly, taking a plate out of the cupboard.
"Temari nee-san was crying. I snapped out of my daze to eat cake for my problems… Like not being able to sleep." Gaara blabbed on, unusually talkative. Kankuro nodded sympathetically. Kankuro drank his water greedily, trying to drown out the awkward silence. Gaara looked into the fridge, rummaging through useless, limp vegetables and other unmentionables. Finally, he found the chocolate cake. Gaara licked his lips with hunger.
"I bet you're wondering why Temari nee-san is crying?"
"No, not really."
"Liar." Gaara argued, smirking victoriously. Kankuro sighed and nodded his defeat. Gaara took out a knife and started to cut two pieces of cake, for himself and Kankuro as well.
"Temari nee-san is really… Complicated. I noticed that she is growing up more so she will feel a bit uncomfortable around males such as yourself…" Gaara explained like a sensei would. Kankuro looked bewildered for a second, and then turned to normal.
"But why? I'm her brother." Kankuro whined, taking another plate from the cupboard. Gaara slapped the cake slice down onto Kankuro's plate and gently placed a slice onto his own plate.
"I guess you don't understand." Gaara merely shrugged and disappeared upstairs. Now, what did he mean by that? Kankuro pondered on what Gaara had said for a minute, then merely catergorized it as useless information.
End Notes: Yes, yes, another short chapter. I just can't help but to make stupidly short chapters. Sorryy Another chapter coming soon to a theatre near you.
