Chapter 4:

Winter came. Snow fell on the town of Konoha. I looked out the window.

'Damn, it's cold.' I thought. The snow was getting thicker.

'Shit, why did I have to walk today.' I thought. To be honest, my car had broken down and it wasn't impossible to walk to work in nice weather so I had walked. But now that it was snowing, I doubted that I would be able to get home.

"Didn't you walk home today?" Temari asked still staring at the computer.

"Yeah." I said.

"How do you plan to get back?" She asked.

"Dunno, maybe I'll stay here." I said. She looked at me. I tried to ignore her.

"...You know you could come to my place." She said.

"What?" I asked out of disbelief.

"Don't worry, I have 2 brothers. You won't be the only guy." Temari said finishing her work. "Beside, my brothers don't know anyone that well yet, they should meet someone." She stood up. "Come on, let's go." She said.

I walked with her to her car. She had a decent car. Not a brilliant car, but better than mine. I got in the passengers seat and she got in the drivers.

"Put on your seatbelt." She said turning the key.

"Hmph..." I grunted and put on my seatbelt. I had a strange feeling that she was going to do something dangerous.

When she got out of the parking, I knew why.

Temari was an unbelievably fast driver. We sped so fast and with the road being covered in snow, I gripped the arm rest. Once I had gotten used to it, I started to talk a little bit.

"So...what are your brothers like?" I asked.

"Well, Kankuro, he's a pervert and he's rude. He's the one that has the playboy magazines, remember?" She turned to look at him.

"Don't take your eyes off the road and yes I remember." I said. She glared at me before returning to the road.

"Gaara is quiet and serious. He's a little anti-social but after meeting that Naruto-guy, he's gotten better." She said.

"Better? He was bad." I asked.

Temari thought about it. This was when I learned something new.

NEVER LET TEMARI THINK AND DRIVE AT THE SAME TIME.

She started going at an even faster speed. She didn't seem to mind but I was freaked out. I heard a few honks from other cars.

"Let's just say he wasn't great." Temari said and returned to her driving.

'God, I'm going to die at this rate.' I thought. Temari pulled up in front of a small house.

"We're here!" She said getting out of the car. I followed her. She walked over to the door. She pulled out her keys that had 3 keys on it.

'One for the house, another for the car, wonder what the third one's about.' I thought as she unlocked the door. She swung it open and it hit the wall and made a big sound. She entered.

'This house looks like it'll break down soon.' I thought as I went in.

"Aneki, is that you?" A voice came from upstairs.

"Get over her Kankuro! I have a guest!" She shouted.

"...guest?" A guy with red hair and massive eye liner came down the stairs.

"He works with me and couldn't get back so I brought him." She pointed at me. "His name is Shikamaru."

"Let me guess, Gaara?" I asked.

"Correct." He said and they shook hands.

"Is that your boyfriend?" A guy with brown hair and weird markings on his face came down with an ipod in his hand.

"No, he works with me." Temari said. I was a little bummed, but it was the truth.

"Kankuro!" He said putting out his hand.

"Shikamaru." I said and shook his hand. He turned to Temari.

"What's for dinner?" He asked.

"Since you've been working more lately and I have a guest, I decided we'd eat out." She said going up the stairs. "I'm going to get changed so don't do anything!" She said and left.

The guys sat down.

"Well, Shikamaru, now that you are with us I might as well introduce myself." He turned off his ipod. "I'm Kankuro, the second oldest. I like rap and dancing. I also like to annoy my sister." He said. "Gaara, how about you?" He said.

"My name is Gaara." He said. "I like to..." He stopped.

'This guy probably doesn't like a lot of stuff.' I thought. Kankuro realized that he wasn't going to say anything and changed the subject.

"...so, what's your impression on my sister?" He asked.

"She's okay..." I said.

"Just okay?" Kankuro pushed a bit further.

'This guy's trying to get something out of me.' I thought.

"Well...maybe a little bit." I said.

"Seriously? I thought she would die alone but I guess she found the guy!" He said. He was getting more worked up then I would of liked.

"Kankuro...settle down." Gaara said. He looked at me through his eyeliner. "Be careful, that's all I have to say about dealing with her." He said and got up.

"Jeez, he said that to the last guy too." Kankuro said watching him leave. "But he wasn't careful so he got hurt pretty bad." Kankuro said laughing.

"Careful?" I asked.

"Lets' just say that she isn't a sweet person." He said. "But I have the feeling she likes you." He said. He got up to get a coke.

'She likes me!?' I thought. I liked this Kankuro guy in a way. I mean, Gaara didn't seem like someone he would be quick friends with.

"Guys! Let's get going!" Temari was at the door. She was wearing some 'True Religion' jeans and a t-shirt. She was carrying a jacket in her arms.

"Coming!" Kankuro said. He turned back at me. "Come on!" He said and I went over with him.

We walked to the car and drove to some restaurant.
