Chapter 4
The gang arrived in Suna just before a big sandstorm started. Temari quickly led them to
her house for shelter. It was a nice house made of adobe bricks, and the inside was
painted a light blue. There were only a few pictures, mostly of her mother. Everyone
placed their stuff in their respective rooms, 2 of which had once belonged to Gaara and Kankuro.
"Hey, anyone want a drink of water?" Temari asked the thirsty group. They all nodded and jugged down several glasses worth. Sakura acted as if it were whiskey and drunkenly threw her glass at Temari's head. She was quite angry with Blahkura, and they ended up getting in a brawl. Blahkura used, 'BORE YOU TO DEATH BY CRYING NO JUTSU!!!' This gave Temari a great urge to send her out into the sandstorm. Shikamaru eventually broke up the fight by saying it was really immature. Temari blushed during this strange silence.
Naruto, Sai and Ino attemped to shove Blahkura's medicine in her mouth which posed to be difficult. Ino held her down, Sai put it in and Naruto distracted her. The medicine worked, but it would take a while before completely ridding Blahkura from Sakura's mind for the time being. Everyone was tired, so they just sat around in silence while Blahkura twitched.
"Do you have any ramen?" Naruto to Temari, breaking the odd rift the fight caused.
"Yeah, but you'll have to make some yourself, I have stuff to do." Temari replied, trying to sound important. She was being important to impress Shikamaru, WHOM SHE ABSOLUTELY ADORED.
"Anyone else want some while I'm at it?" Naruto asked.
"Umm… I'm kind of… hot from this…miGRAINE… to have some" Blahkura said drunkenly as she lie in a soft chair as if it was obvious. But you see, this was odd because it was actually very cold out due to the heavy winds. Everyone else said,
"Sure, I'll have some," Naruto sweat dropped and added more ramen into a larger pot.
"Can I have a little help then?
"I'll help." Ino offered her assistance. "In fact, why don't me and Naruto just make lunch because it's almost noon anyway."
"Well it had better be delicious, Ino pig!" Blahkura demanded.
"Actually Ino's cooking is really great. When my Dad invites her family to dinner, she usually helps my mom." Shikamaru said to Blahkura. Temari fumed.
"Everything except the tea." Ino admitted as she made her way to the kitchen.
"Does your mom make you do it? "Temari said, appalled.
"Haha, I usually volunteer because I love to cook 3!" Ino smiled.
"Oh ok, good; I thought she yelled at you or something." Shikamaruto said.
"Nope!" Ino said cheerily and went into the kitchen to help Naruto. The two were very loud in the kitchen; whatever the two were making, it was obvious it was complicated. Ino wouldn't stop yelling at Naruto.
------------------------------------------
"Yay. Good food." said Sai happily, or at least as happy as he can get.
"Good!" Said Ino, satisfied.
"Who made the ramen?" Sakura asked.
"Both of us, but mostly Naruto," Ino replied.
"Wow, Naruto, this is great!" She told Naruto, then took another fork full.
"Well if you eat a lot of ramen, you have to know how to make it, Believe it!"
Ok. Enough about lunch.
After the sandstorm, everyone went to the marketplace thingy to stock up on supplies to continue "MISSION: SASUKE".
At the Marketplace
"Lets split up into groups," bossed Temari, "Then we'll meet back here in an hour. K?" She pointed to Sakura and Ino, "You two stock up on food for, oh say, 3 days. That should be enough." Sakura and Ino nodded and took off. "Naruto and Sai, you guys should get some new weapons. Think about your opponents, than decide what kind of weapons would be the most effective against them. For instance, don't get anything that has to do with snakes if you are fighting Orochimaru," Temari lectured. "Got it?"
Everyone kind of yawned and moaned, not willing to get in a fight or oppose Temari because she obviously looked pissed off.
"Ok, Shika-kun," said Temari sweetly, "I noticed that one of our tents had a hole in it so we need to trade it in for a new one. And oh yeah, I need a new sleeping bag."
"What wrong with your old one?" Shikamaru asked.
"It's full of sand," she said. Shikamaru looked at her strangely.
"What?" Temari tensed her face.
"Nothing…" he sighed and mumbled, "This is so troublesome…"
After Temari and Shikamaru were finished shopping, Temari led Shikamaru to another part of the market place.
"Uh, Temari?.."
"Yes?" she said batting her eyelashes.
"It's time to go meet the others."
"Oh. Riiiiiight," Temari said. She started walking. BUT… She had an evil and devious plan. One to hook Shikamaru forever! BWAHAHAHHAHAHA!! TEMARI GETS THE JOB DONE! Just kidding.
Pretty soon Shikamaru started to notice that this wasn't the way they came.
"Where are we going Temari?" he asked.
"Oh, we're just taking a shortcut," Temari said laughing facedly.
"Ok…." Shikamaru said doubtfully. Soon they came upon a dark alley.
"Are you sure you know where you are going?" Shikamaru asked.
"Of course I do! Silly Shika-kun!" she said, laughing facedly again. Shikamaru was starting to get scared. Who wants to wander around with a deranged Temari all day?
"This is a dead end", Shikamaru stated.
"I know." Temari walked closer to him with a gleam in her eye that kinda freaked him out. He started to back up carefully.
"Temari?" he said uncertainly. She bent forward, leaning closer and closer until she "accidentally" tripped over her left foot.
