Bye my brothers; Food and Flowers

Temari finished loading the horse carriage full of her belongings, bed, dresser, clothes, and other personal items. Her eyes where watering from her tears, she really didn't want to go. To leave her family home…her brothers at most. Even if she is mean to them and maybe once in a blue moon throw stuff at them, but she loved them with all her heart.

"Come on Temari you're a big girl, an adult and ninja at most" she bit her lip, as she held a small photo of her family 'Mom' she stroked the picture 'Dad' a flash of angry came over her. She looked down 'Kankuro' she smiled 'and Gaara' she place the picture in the cart, and then wiped the few salted tears from her face.

"Oh is big sister starting to cry, now?" Kankuro chuckled

"No! I'm not" Her smile faded. "What do you want Kankuro?" Temari glared at her sibling.

"Me, oh I just came over to say bye to my sister, that's all" He rested his arms behind his head; "But you don't what me here, I'll gladly leave" he smirked.

"You Jerk! I mean… kudasai (please)…stay."

"Don't tell me you two are fighting all ready?" Gaara said as he walked over to his siblings.

"Look Gaara, Temari's crying" Kankuro laughed

"Am Not!" she hit the puppeteer over the head with a small paper fan.

"Temari, Kankuro stop this crap now." Gaara said plainly folding his arms "Temari you all packed?"

"Hai, Gaara I'm all set to go" she frowned.

"If you leave now you'll make it in Konoha by Friday"

"Hai, I know" she looked at the ground "Just to let you two know, that of all the times I was hard on you it was for your own good and if I upset you, gomen nasai. You know I love you two and even though you two are strong, I want you to watch your backs for me. Kankuro please clean your room for me, god your seventeen and you still need a mother around to clean up your messes. Gaara I know you're the Kazekage now and if you didn't know I'm very proud of you and watch over the village for me" a small line of tear rolled down her face "Look at me an adult crying, well I must be going right, can't keep Konoha waiting" she turned around to get in the carriage.

She stopped as she felt two sets of arms hug her, she smiled "Thank you baby brothers, but I must be going" they released her. She held the reins to the two horses "I love you both, I'll write to you here and there" and the cart raced off

"HAI! she's gone, Gaara I have some man things to show you" Kankuro grinned and put on of his arm around Gaara's shoulder.

"Oh Joy" Gaara said with sarcasm.

(With Shikamaru)

"Man is this bothering" Shikamaru said as he fell back into a green couch. "I didn't know moving was hard, damn it"

"That's why I'm here Shika-kun" Ino said in a bright voice as she walked into the small living area.

"Easy for you to say Ino-chan" he yawned then scratched his head.

"Come on Lazy ass we got two more boxes left to unpack" she threw him a box

"Hai hai Mama" he opened the box of books and a Go board "good thing I packed Go" He placed the books on a small shelf he brought from his old room. He walked to his room and placed the go board next to his bed

"Ah Shika-san you know what you need!" said Ino

"……."

"Food and Flowers!"

"Flowers?"

"Hai, for color and a nice sent to walk home in, like Lilies!"

"Oh Ino what would I do with out you and your flowers" Shika said sarcastically.

"I don't know, Oh wise ass of high knowledge"

"Ok, ok gomen nasai, gomen nasai"

"Good, I'll be right back ok, I have to go see Chouji, and then I bring you your flowers. But you have to get food mister!" she walk out of the apartment and jogged off.

"Hai, Hai" He dropped back in the couch, "boy Naruto you can still smell the ramen in here" then sighed. 'I think food is important' Shikamaru sighed again, "Fine food shopping I go" he grabbed a sweat shirt slipped on his sandals and snatched his keys, locked the door and walk out into town.

(Food store)

"Rice, Instant ramen, eggs, Seaweed, Instant Miso Soup," he walked to the casher and paid. The started his walk home 'If I miss some stuff I'll have Chouji or Ino get it they are the food people, Hmm, I wonder if I have a rice cooker?' "bread, Oolong Tea, Green tea, Milk, Air Freshener-Vanilla, Coco pocky, chicken, pork, beef, sushi, and rice balls" The lazy jounin repeated over on his journey home.

(Back at Nara's Apartment)

"At least the refrigerator works" Shikamaru said then began to put away his food items, straitened his apartment a little to his liking, the took a nap in his brown and green bed.

Knock Knock (cheesy XD)

"Shika-san?" Ino walked into the apartment, looking around for her friend. "You forgot to loc-" before she could finish, she founded him asleep on his bed. She placed some Lillies in a vase, a note, on the dresser next to his bed.

Then add a few food items to his refrigerator and left.
