Chapter 6:
We went to some fastfood restarant.
"Sorry, we don't have a ton of money." Temari said entering the restarant. I nodded. I didn't really care. I wasn't ready to go to a nice restarant anyway. I ordered a hamburger and sat down with the others. We ate in silence, which suprised me because I didn't think that Kankuro could be silent, but he was when he ate. Temari was also that way and Gaara never talked anyway. Suddenly, Gaara's cellphone rang. He took it out of his back pocket and answered it.
"Hello?" Gaara said. He was silent for a second before he replied.
"Maturi, if you don't have a reason to call then why do you call?" Gaara asked sighing a little. Temari leaned over and whispered into my ear.
"Maturi is Gaara's girlfriend." I was a little freaked out when she leaned over. I saw Gaara glare at Temari before talking again.
"It's okay." He paused. "I miss you too." He said and closed the phone and returned it to his back pocket.
"So, what did she say?" Temari asked.
"She just wanted to hear my voice or something." Gaara said. He ate some more of his food.
'Gaara didn't look like he'd have a girlfriend.' I thought. I ate some more of my hamburger. I glanced at Temari who was eating this vegetarian burger.
"You don't eat meat?" I asked. She looked at me.
"I only eat organic things. The meat here is disgusting." Temari said eyeing our hamburgers. Come to think of it, she always had something from places like 'Whole foods' and stuff. I looked at my hamburger. It did look greasy but it was good so I still ate it. I never was concerned with anything in paticular and my weight and health was no exception.
When we were done, she asked me,
"Do you want me to drive you to your house?" I looked at her.
'Yes!' My mind said. I didn't know what to say. If I said yes, then she might get suspicious, if I said no, then I might hurt her feelings. She looked at me.
"How about you stay with us?" Kankuro asked putting his arm around me. He winked at me. It was an obvious,
'This is your chance!' wink. Temari glared at him and Gaara sighed.
"Are you up to something?" She asked.
"No, Aneki! So what do you say?" He turned to look at me.
"Yes." I said. It was a lot easier to say it when Kankuro was convincing you. Temari nodded and pointed at us as if we were little.
"Okay, get in the car." She ordered. We followed her to the car and we all got in. We drove for a while and when we got back to their house, it was decided that I would sleep in Kankuro's room. Temari put out an extra bed and Kankuro, Gaara, I sat down on the couch to watch TV. Kankuro kept flipping through the channels.
"Kankuro, I can't see anything." Gaara said. He was looking at Kankuro very annoyed.
"There's nothing good on TV." Kankuro said continuing to flip through the channels. I didn't care. There really was nothing on TV. Reality shows, game shows, Spongebob, and cooking channels never interested me.
"Turn it on VH1 please. I heard that 'The Greatest Song of The 80's' is on." Temari said coming up from behind. She sat down next to me. Kankuro punched in '44' on the remote.
"Michael Jackson's song 'Beat It'!" The TV said.
"Yes! I love Michael Jackson!" Temari said reciting the lyrics of the song.
"Michael Jackson?" I asked. In my vision, Michael Jackson was a freak. Dude, that guy used to be a black guy and know his skin is whiter that normal people and his nose is screwed.
"Well, I don't like him now, he's a freak now." She said. "I liked him up until 'Bad' and then he went crazy...in my opinion." She said. I nodded. He wasn't as much of a freak in the 90's. We watched the show for a little more.
"Aneki, you're the only one who still likes Michael. You need to live in the now." Kankuro said. He was teasing Temari and it seemed like it happened a lot.
"Shut up Kankuro." Temari said. "The 90's were the greatest years of history." She said.
'I'll have to admit I don't know a lot of people like her either.' I thought. 'But I do like that about her.'
The show ended around an hour later. By then, Kankuro and Gaara were bored and in their rooms. When the show ended, I turned off the TV. Only then did I realize that Temari was fast asleep. Her head was leaning against my shoulder. I shifted a little because I was uncomftorable. Bad idea, her head fell and landed on my lap. Now I was even more limited in movement.
Unable, to wake her, I fell asleep on the couch with her sleeping in my lap.

Completely organic,
She liked Michael Jackson up until he made Bad
Yeah! Sorry for the wait, I have school
Don't be lazy like Shikamaru and Review please!
