The morning dawned bright and clear. Temari opened her eyes to see that she was in her room naked with garra sitting by the window and Konkoro sleeping on the floor. She rolled over and sat up.

" You are not to see him anymore" Gaara said quietly. Temari found her clothes and quietly put them on and grabbed her fan.

" Fine, I'm going to get breakfast." She said. Garra jumped down from the window and walked to her side,

" Not without me you're not going anywhere," He said. Temari rolled her eyes and they left the building and walked with other ninjas to the hall. Garra grabbed her arm as they entered. Temari looked around and saw Asuma with the other Sensei's, he had a patch over his eye and his arm was in a sling. She looked at garra and an evil smile came over his face. Temari sat down away from Asuma and quietly ate her Ramen. Gaara ate quickly and waited until Temari was done.

" Lets get to our places in the arena" He said. Temari opened her mouth but gaara was already leading her out of the hall. She turned and saw Asuma looking at her with a pined look. She turned away quickly and followed Gaara. They stopped in a small square and gaara sat her down.

"Temari, I know you're the oldest but for my sister to go from heartless to love struck in a few hours is completely insane. I need to know why you slept with someone twice your age!" He said in a very quiet but creepy way. Temari adjusted her fan.

" This feels so different, I feel like I have something worth fighting for when I see him. I fight to win but I don't need to be like that all the time." She said. Garra looked at her.

"If you don't win today I will kill that man. What you did was dirty and very unlike you. Get your act together and remember that I will be watching you," He said. Temari stared at the ground. Gaara got up and walked towards the stadium. Temari followed and Konkoro caught up with them.

The stadium was packed with villagers and the students found their spots. Temari was teamed up with someone from Team Ten and she realized that this was the team Asuma was in charge with. She looked for him but he was nowhere to be found. Garra watched her and she began to get serious as the trials went on. Finally her turn came and she jumped off the railing on her fan and sailed to the ground. Her a opponent was a "lazy genius" according to what she had found out. She's shook her hand and opened her fan to one star.

" Are you ready?" She yelled. Shikamaru sighed and stared at the sky.

" I guess" He said. Temari jumpoed back and opened her fan. He made a sign and a dagger of shadow came racing towards her. It stopped short of a backflip and Temari quickly marked a line where she couldn't cross. She sent a barage of wind assaults and was quickly getting beaten down. As the hour dragged on she realised that she had to do something durastic and once she went for her final attack, Shikamaru used is shadow and caught her. Her heart sank and she tried to look at Gaara but couldn't.

Shikamaru gave the match to her because he didn't care and Teamri ran to Gaara as soon as she could.

" How was that little brother?" She asked in her ususal tone. Garra glared at her,

" He gave you the match" He said. Temari's heart sank. Gaara turned around,

" I wont kill him, but you are to stay away from him" He siad. Temari sighed and sat down.

" I'm sorry Garra" She said. She glanced to her side and saw Asuma looking at her. She waved and he smiled at her. Garra grabed her hand and she saw Asuma walk away.

" Gaara, please may I go to him?" She asked. Garra turned to her and pinned her against the seat.

" I'm not letting you go to that pervert, he just wants you because he's lonely and your pretty. You will sit here and not talk" Gaara said. Temari watched two matches before it was dark and then they headed back to the room. Gaara let Temari use the bathroom but waited outside the door. As she walked out Asuma passed her and handed her a note. She tucked it away and followed her younger brother back to the room. Once inside Gaara threw off his gourd and jumped on Temari.

" WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS BE SO STUPID AND SLOW.THERE IS NO LOVE IN THIS WORLD AND HE CANT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT!" He screamed. His hands went for her throat and her eyes wend blurry. She closed them and suddenly felt the grip loosening. She opened her eyes and saw Asuma attacking Gaara. Konkoro ran in and went for Asuma. Temari grabbed her fan and attacked Konkoro. She kept hitting him untill strong hands grabbed her middle and thew her on the bed. She looked around and saw Garra on the floor and Konkoro in a pool of blood on the floor. Asuma was breathing heavy.

"Temari, run and get a doctor. Say you got in a fight with your brothers. Then if you wish, you may stay with me" He siad and jumped out the window and ran to his house. She called the doctor and once that was taken care of she walked back to the room and didn't bother to see Asuma. She laid down and closed her eyes.
