Chapter 2: The Makings of a Sand Band!

One morning, in the Sand Village, Kankurou shot up in bed and said, "I think I'll start a band today!" Where did THAT come from! He thought.

Temari, who was passing by Kankurou's room, stuck her head in the doorway. "That's a great idea!" she said.

"No, no, I was... joking!" Kankurou said. "Wait, what are you doing?"

"Just making sure you didn't wet the bed again in fear of Gaara!" Temari said sisterly.

"I don't wet the bed in fear of Gaara!" Kankurou protested.

Just then Gaara walked in. "Hey, Kankurou," He said menacingly. Kankurou screamed like a girl.

"I want to make a band!" Gaara said.

"S- sure Gaara..." whimpered Kankurou. Temari 'high-five'-ed Gaara. "Woo! We're going to be awesome!" she said.

Kankurou looked at Temari. "I think I need to change the sheets now, Temari," he said, embarrassed. Gaara laughed.

"Anyway... We should ask Baki-sensei if he wants to join," Temari suggested.

"That's a great idea! He can play base guitar!" Gaara said.

So, they went to visit their sensei, who was still sleeping, being that it was four in the morning.

Temari and Kankurou protested, but Gaara didn't care if Baki got any sleep. Gaara never got any sleep, so why should Baki get any? After five seconds of knocking, Kankurou decided to pick the lock, but Gaara said that was too slow. So he just broke down the door.

Baki ran to the door from his bedroom, and screamed when he saw Gaara.

"My nightmare!" Baki yelled.

"What was that?" Gaara asked, getting pissed. Baki curled up on the ground in a ball, shivering.

"He's just a dream, he's just a dream, he's just a dream," Baki whispered.

"Could a dream do THIS!" Gaara hissed. By this time, all of Baki's neighbors were up wondering what that horrible noise was.

"Gaara! Stop!" yelled Temari.

Gaara paused. "What now?" he demanded.

"If Baki-sensei is going to be in our band, he has to be in one piece!" Temari reasoned.

"I guess..." Gaara sighed. "Come join the Sand Band!" he said, holding out his hand.

"I- I guess...?" Baki whimpered. "I'll be the manager...?"

"No..." Gaara started.

"Drums...?"

"No..."

"You want me to sing...!"

"NO! You'll be base guitar AND you'll like it!" Gaara screamed.

"Okay..." Baki cowered.

"Well, I guess that takes care of it!" Temari said cheerfully.

"No..." Gaara said. "We're going to hold try-outs! There's got to be a better drums player than Kankurou in this village!" He mused.

"Hey! I'm still here, you know!" Kankurou protested.

"Your point?" Gaara said, giving Kankurou the evil eye.

"That's fine!" Kankurou said quickly.

They handed out flyers and everything, then waited for people to show up at the Kazekage Mansion. They waited all the way into the afternoon, but no one showed up.

"No one's here..." Gaara sobbed. "Why...? Doesn't anyone like me?"

"It's okay, Gaara, I like you! So does your teddy bear!" Temari said calmly. Gaara glared at her.

"What teddy bear?" He said, staring her down.

"You, know the one that- uh... I mean, Kankurou's teddy bear!" Temari said nervously.

"I don't have a-" Kankurou started, but Temari punched him and said, "Shut up!"

Gaara pouted, and said, "I need to go kill something..."

Temari sighed, but Gaara was already chasing after some random guy on the street. "Come back here, so I can kill you!" Gaara shouted angrily.

"Wait, Gaara, you can't just go kill some random guy off the street!" Temari yelled after him.

"Sure I can! I'm Kazekage!" Gaara chased the guy down a dark alley and apparently caught him, because the last thing they heard was a high-pitched scream, which obviously didn't belong to Gaara.

Gaara skipped back to Temari, Kankurou and Baki, obviously in a better mood now. Temari smacked herself in the head.

"So, are we all set NOW?" Temari asked Gaara.

"Hn…"
