Chapter 9

"Wake up, Sakura!" I opened my eyes to see a smiling Ino. I turned around and put my pillow over my head. "Come on, Sakura!" I held the pillow tighter. "It's your first day of being NOT single" I sat up and hit Ino with the pillow. "Be quite" Ino giggle, then grabbed the pillow from me and hit me back. We both giggled and got up. "Let's go get something to eat" Ino said as she went to the door way. "Sure" I followed her out to the kitchen table. Me and Ino sat down; we were the only ones at the table. I heard Temari cooking and I could smell the burnt eggs.

Me and Ino sat there talking when someone wrapped there arms around my waist. "Good morning" I heard a voice behind me say. I turned my head, it was Kankuro. I smiled "good morning" I traced my finger over some purple face paint. He gave me a quick kiss on my cheek, and then he sat down beside me. He had his hat back, he must have had extras.

I looked at Ino who was on my other side. She winked at me. I gave a small giggle. Then Sasuke came out of the kitchen holding a plate of burnt eggs, Temari was behind him. Naruto and Gaara came out from the other room and grabbed a plate and some eggs. They quickly chopped it down. "Naruto! Use some manners!" Ino yelled a Naruto who was eating with his hands. I signed, you can never teach Naruto manners. I got some burnt eggs for myself.

Sasuke and Temari sat on the couch to eat, Gaara and Naruto sat on the floor, because there was only three seats at the table. Me, Ino, and Kankuro talked a bit, not a whole lot though. We finally finished eating and everybody put there plates in the sink. I went to my room and got dressed. I brushed my hair and put on my forehead protector. When I finished I went down stairs, Ino was already dressed talking to Gaara.

I decided to listen on there conversation. "So Gaara, nice house" Gaara remained silent. "So yeah, I see you like playing game cube" Gaara glanced her way. "You know I bet I could beat you" Gaara just stood there. "well your hair is really a nice red" Still nothing out of Gaara. "I have nice blonde hair" Gaara was looking pretty annoyed. "I remember you from the chunin exam" Ino getting no reaction tried harder. "Do you remember me?" She asked him. "Yes" Ino smiled. "So what do you do around?" Gaara glared at her. "Why do you keep on talking to me? Even if I don't answer! You have been ranting on about nothing all morning!" Gaara walked away.

I went up to Ino, I put a hand on her shoulder. "Maybe next time" I gave a small laugh. She just looked at me. "Hey we better get started on out mission" Naruto yelled. Sasuke gave a small sign. "Hey sakura, can I come with you guys and help out?" Ino asked.

"Yeah, why not"

"Well I was supposed to be here to help you with building that underwater hospital anyway" I raised my eyebrows. "How else do you think I could get out of the village?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Come Sakura" I heard Sasuke yell from the door way. He looked at Ino. "Is she coming too?" Ino smiled. "Of course I am, Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke signed and went out the door. Ino smiled at me then followed Sasuke out the door.

I turned around so I could find Kankuro and say goodbye. I searched the room; he was a few feet behind me. "Bye Kankuro! See you when I get back" I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "See ya" he said before I went out the door.

Well I had five days left with the sand sibs, which means only five days left of seeing Kankuro.

We got to the construction site and got to work. The whole time Sasuke seemed to be deep in thought. I wonder what was bugging him; I knew he wouldn't tell me so I didn't bother to ask.

After we finished for the day, we went back to the house. I was so sweaty, I went to the bathroom. I washed my face with a wet rag a few times. I felt better and went downstairs. Ino was on the couch next to Gaara, they weren't saying anything. So I went to the kitchen. I heard voices talking; I decided to see what they were talking about. I stood near the opening of the door, against the wall, so they wouldn't see me. "So at least Sakura and Kankuro did hook up" The voice belonged to Temari. "Yeah I know" This voce belonged to Sasuke.

"Hey I've been thinking a lot to day" I heard Sasuke say. He must be referring to at the construction site; he seemed to be thinking the whole time. "And what were you thinking about?" I heard Temari ask. Then from behind me I heard footsteps, I turned around. It was Kankuro. I put a finger to my mouth, signaling for him to be quite. He looked confused at first, but he nodded. I smile then focused my attention on Temari and Sasuke. I wanted to see what Sasuke was thinking about all day.

"Well I like your attitude, and you're not like other girls" Sasuke said. I bet he was smirking, because that what he always does before he reveals something. "And?" Temari asked curiously. Then it became quite. I took a peek around the doorway. Sasuke had is arms around Temari, and they were kissing. I looked at Kankuro; he was looking at the site to. Sasuke broke the kiss and looked at Temari. "Shikamaru's gonna kill you for that" Temari said playfully.

Sasuke gave a small chuckle. "I know" Then Temari pressed her lips against Sasuke again. Temari is one lucky girl! Temari broke the kiss, and Sasuke dropped his arms. Temari looked down. "I can't do this"

"I can't do this to Shikamaru" Sasuke looked a bit hurt, but he is Sasuke uchiha. "Temari, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that" Sasuke saying sorry, that was new! "But I just had to" Sasuke said. Temari looked at him. "I know, I felt the same way you did. How about friends?" Temari held her hand out. "Yeah, sure" Sasuke shook her hand. Then they were coming out the door. I grabbed kankuro's hand and ran out of the hall way to the living room.

"That's sad" I said once in the living room. "Why?" Kankuro asked his hand still on mine. "Because Sasuke has never liked anyone before, and he just go turned down" I said looking down. "Temari should brake up with Shikamaru, so Ino can have him. Then she can be free to go with Sasuke" Kankuro signed. "I don't think there is anything we can do" He was right.

I let go of his hand and sat down on the couch, Kankuro followed. I looked around for Ino. "Hey where is Ino?" Kankuro looked around. "Looks like she's playing game cube with Gaara" I got up and went to the game room. Ino and Gaara were playing game cube. Naruto was cheering on Gaara. "Ino what are you doing?" Ino smiled. "If I win this I get a date with Gaara!" I heard Kankuro laugh behind me.

I looked at Gaara. Would he actually agree to something like that? "Naruto made the bet not me" Naruto shrugged and went back to looking at the TV screen. I guess they must have fixed it, from when it was broken. I sat down next to Ino and watched. She was pretty good. Kankuro was in the doorway watching.

After sometime Ino was one shot away from wining. Gaara was trying his best not to lose, but something tells me Ino is going to win. Then Temari and Sasuke entered the room. "What's going on?" Temari asked. "Naruto made a bet with Ino, that if she could beat Gaara at game cube then Gaara would go on a date with" Kankuro filled them in. Temari gave a slight chuckle.

The all of a sudden the screen started flashing and Ino jumped up. "Yay! I won" Gaara looked at the screen. Then he glared at Naruto. Naruto just smiled. "Woops?" Sand started to go toward Naruto. "Gaara?" Naruto got up and took a step back. "Gaara you just lost a bet! Calm down" Temari yelled. Gaara crossed his arms and started mumbling. "Well I will just have to go back home tomorrow won't I?" Ino said playfully.

Gaara just glared at her. I got up and stood next to Kankuro. "You think they would make a nice couple?" I asked him. "I doubt it" I gave a small laugh. "Well it's about Lunch time; want to go get something to eat?" Temari asked. Everybody nodded except maybe Gaara. "Okay how about Gaara and Ino go take there little date, anywhere they want. Then me, Sasuke, Kankuro, and sakura can go someplace else"

Gaara glared at Temari. Ino looked at Gaara. "So where do you want to go Gaara?" Gaara didn't say anything. "Here I know this nice restaurant! We'll take you guys there, come on" Temari said as she walked to the living room. Ino got up and waited for Gaara to get up. Naruto got up and was trying to hold back a laugh. Sasuke just followed Temari. I watched them then held Kankuro's hand and we went in to the living room.

Gaara, Ino and Naruto quickly followed us. "First stop, Gaara and Ino's date" Then we all left down the dirt path. We came to a stop at a decent looking restaurant. "Enjoy your date, Gaara" Naruto said. Gaara glared at him, but he walked toward the place with Ino. Ino turned around before going in and gave me a small thumb up. We waited there for awhile, and then Temari went in her pocket for something. She pulled out a camera.

"I have to get a picture of the soon to be kazekage and his date!" Then she ran in the place. "Soon to be Kazekage?" It looked like Sasuke had the same question in mind. "Well The current Kazekage is gone, and Gaara is going to take his place. Just the ceremony isn't for awhile" I nodded. That was a real shocker; I didn't know the Kazekage was dead.

Temari came out smiling. "Okay now let's go get something to eat!" We followed her down the dirt path. We finally came to a stop at another restaurant. We went in and got a table. We got a booth, me and Kankuro sat on one side, Temari, Sasuke, and Naruto on the other. Temari got out her camera again and took a picture of me and Kankuro. "Come guys get together" She said. Kankuro put an arm around me, I leaned in closer. We both smiled, I knew I had a pink tint on my cheeks. Temari took that picture. Then Kankuro let go.

Temari put her camera on the table; I reached over and grabbed it. "Okay you and Sasuke's turn!" They both just looked at me. "Come on! How about Sasuke put an arm around Temari" Sasuke looked at Temari and put an arm around her. "That's better" Then I took the picture. Both there cheeks were a small pink. Sasuke took his arm off.

"Hey, what about me!" Naruto said. Naruto went over Sasuke and sat in-between Sasuke and Temari. Naruto put an arm around each of them and gave a big goofy smile. I took the picture and Sasuke pushed Naruto back to where he was.

I laughed. Then a waitress came to take our order. We all ordered something and watched the waitress leave. "Okay you and Kankuro's turn" Temari said. I took Kankuro's hat and put it on. Kankuro laughed, the hat was a bit big. Temari took the picture. I gave Kankuro his hat back. "Okay you and sasuke's turn again" I took the camera from Temari.

"Okay you and Sasuke go back to back, and cross your arms" They did what I told them to and I took there picture. Then we all started laughing. Naruto go up, took the camera, and went to the edge of the table. He took a picture of everybody. Naruto handed me back the camera. We all started to laugh again.

For some odd reason Sasuke just looked at Temari, She didn't notice. Then Sasuke leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, I quickly took a picture. Everybody was silent. Temari had red on cheeks but she quickly took the camera from me. "Your turn" I smiled, I think I saw Sasuke smile to. I did a peace sign with Kankuro. "No this time let's make this picture cute!" I looked at her with a confused face.

Naruto was just looking like Naruto.

"Kankuro kiss Sakura" Temari smiled. I think this was her payback for me taking that last picture. "Okay" said Kankuro smiling. Then Kankuro leaned over and put an arm around me, and then he pressed his lips against mine. Temari took the picture. Then When I broke the kiss she took another one. I could feel my cheeks get hot. I looked at Kankuro and you could see the pink though his face paint.

He gave a small chuckle, then let go. "What's so funny?" I asked him. "Your cheeks match your hair" I gave a small chuckle too. Then I took the camera from Temari.

I took a picture of Naruto doing a double peace sign.

"Your turn" I said looking at Sasuke and Temari. Sasuke pulled Temari on his lap. "What are you doing?" She asked as her cheeks turned red. Sasuke smirked. "Taking a picture" Then Sasuke looked at me. I took the picture. Then Temari quickly got off Sasuke's lap.

Then our food arrived. We all started eating. We talked about just normal stuff. When we finished, we went to where Gaara and Ino were having there date. Temari went in with her camera at hand. She came out with Gaara and Ino. Ino looked happy, Gaara just looked annoyed. "Come on let's get home, it's getting pretty hot out" Sasuke suggested.

Naruto stood next to Temari. "Can I take pictures with your camera?" Temari dug in her pocket for her Camera. She found and handed it to Naruto. "Just don't break it" Naruto nodded and went off to take pictures. I slowly grabbed Kankuro's Hand. Then I saw a camera flash. I turned around and there was Naruto smiling.

He then went to Ino and Gaara. Ino seeing Naruto and the camera, Wrapped her arms around gaara's arm. Naruto took the picture. Ino quickly let go, she just smiled at Gaara, who was glaring at her. Naruto took a picture of Sasuke and Temari walking next to each other. "Hey Naruto let me see that" I pointed to the camera. Naruto handed it to me.

"Here take a picture with Kankuro" Naruto put an arm around Kankuro's neck, and did a peace sign with each hand. I took the picture. Naruto then took the camera and gave it back to Temari. Kankuro laughed. "Can't wait to get those pictures developed" I nodded.

We finally got back to the house. Gaara sat on the couch, Ino followed him. Sasuke and Temari sat at the Kitchen Table. "Hey Kankuro want to play game cube?" Naruto asked. Kankuro looked at me, I nodded. So I watched Naruto and Kankuro play game cube.
