I'm forcing myself to write descriptively. I don't know why. I'm trying to write everyday. Gomenasai to all those people who read this and have to wait long, im trying to update another story of Shikamaru and Temari-called "Challenge" please read it if you have time.

I'm cooking Spaghetti.

I was playing Guitar Hero World Tours. I prefer the drums, I was always a drummer from the start then again I also play guitar. I'm not sure, I love both. I want to learn the violin though, it has a sweet addictive sound-happy lament,twisted. idk.

---------------------------------------------------------------

She slowly opens her eyes and closed them slowly again. How long has she been asleep? How many years ago the last time she had laid eyes on this world? She sat up, and looked down the city of Suna, once so beautiful, now deserted and dry. No human could survive in that place, she made it that way. They would be lost in their own hallucination. No water, no life.

A curse she would never take off. A curse she made after what they've done to her.

Damn them all to hell. She was not kind but she was not irrational. But what they've done was unforgivable.

She looked at her hands, they were still there, the tattoos that bounds her to him. Damn the stupidity of their kind to fear each other when they were all the same. Why need they fear?

"You are awake" A voice said, she looked up and saw her younger brother. She was some what suprised to see the clothings he wear. She doesn't even know if she considered them clothes.

"Indeed, why am I awake, Gaara?" She inquired.

"The same reason you were here last, what else could it be?"

"They're all dead." She said coldly," I never leave a job unfinish."

"You made a mistake the last time you came here, Temari." He said, The Goddess Temari scowled at him. But he ignored it. "It is still in your memory what you've done wrong, that is why you-"

"Enough, I know fully well what I'd done. What does that have to do with me being called forth?"

"What if I were to say the reason you made that mistake is coming to the city?"

Temari eyes widened slightly that Gaara noticed. But then they were hidden again by the coldness and stormy eyes of hers. He almost felt sad for his sister. He would truly help her if he knew a way to do so.

"Death shall come to whoever crosses this city, that is final."

"Even now you will torture yourself, Temari?"

Temari glared at him.

"Torture myself? I'm not known for self inflicted pain, Gaara. I believe that is you."

A low hit she made that she almost wished she hadn't say but it was too late to take it back. It was hard to reveal yourself to other Gods because when they find out who you truly are, they would use that against you. They would find out how to kill you.

---------------------------------------------------

Shikamaru frowned and looked above, squinting his eyes. Why must it be so hot in the fricken desert? Surely it wasn't this hot back in the days.

"Are we there yet, old woman?" He asked.

"Almost, but I must be honest and warn you now. You should not go into the city."

"Ehh, why?" Naruto asked. Shikamaru looked at his friend. Naruto had taken off his shirt and wrapped it around his head, making it some sort of hat. He stared at Naruto's skin which were tanned before, but they never seem to get darker.

"I believe the Goddess is awaken and will kill you"

"What? Again with that story?"

"Say since we're already close to the city can you tell us what happens next?" Naruto asked.

"Will you listen young man?" The old woman looked at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru looked back and then just avoided her gaze.

"Very well..."

--------------------------------------------

Thousand years ago-

Still the first night the Goddess came-

"Why are you destroying something so beautiful?" The young man asked the Goddess.

He need to know the reason why. There must be some sort of justice, it was not fair for the Gods to play games with them and just get what they want. He does not want it that way.

"It is only a city, why do you cherish it so?"

"When you're around something for too long it becomes part of your life especially when you shed blood and sweat so it would be beautiful, you would cherish it. You would not let anything harm it."

"Foolish nonsense you created in your head. You're going to die because of your emotions are not helping you think clearly at all."

"I had answered your question honestly and you criticized me, Goddess. What is your answer to my question?"

"The honest truth, They're just very much jealous..."

"I see"

"Will you despise me now?"

"I had not despise you when you said you would destroy this city. I had not despise you when you said you will kill me. Why shall I start despising you now when it does my heart no good, but turns it black as my eyes."

"How old are you?"

"How old do I appear to you?"

"Appears to be a young man with mind of an old man that knows too much in life, did you enjoy your life?"

He smiled, a smile that the Goddess herself only could glance at. It was a sad smile. She wanted to see a smile but not a sad one. She would make him smile with happiness, she decided. But to why she wanted to make it happen she was not sure.

"I must say if I knew I was to die so young, I would have not live a boring one."

"Do you want another chance to live again?"

"If it were possible." He shrugged. "So what shall you do tomorrow since the city is deserted?"

"A suprise, my friend."

----------------------------------

"You haven't mention their names yet," Shikamaru interrupted.

"You were listening then," The old woman said, chuckling. "Ah here we are, Suna, the city of Gold."

Shikamaru stared at it. The ruined city he sees now before him doesn't resemble anything like the city of gold he'd seen in the fire. He couldn't believe or imagine that this was the city of gold. There was nothing golden about it. Nothing to be awe at.

"You're telling me the Goddess did this to the city? It looks more like a war has been fought."

"It's beautiful, Shikamaru! Imagine! It was just like in the fire. Don't you think so? I can't wait to see the Goddess, I hope she does show herself to us."

"Didn't you listen to the old woman, the Goddess will kill you." Shikamaru said factly.

Naruto grinned and waggled his eyebrows. "I thought you said she doesn't exist."

Shikamaru straighten up. "Of course she doesn't"

"Then you have nothing to worry about, Shikamaru."

Naruto started walking into it, that Shikamaru felt oblige to follow him. He wasn't the type of person to abandon someone. He turned to look back at the woman who still sat on the camel.

"Shouldn't you come with us?" He asked.

"I believe this is when I stop. I rather not die." The old woman said.

"You're already old." Shikamaru said.

"I shall wait for you here, if you still wish to return that is." She said.

Shikamaru frowned. There was something odd about that sentence, but he couldn't put his finger on it. What is it? He feels weird now, being so close to this city. He won't admit out loud he feels someone was calling him towards it. He always thought listening to voices in his head wouldn't be a good idea. But his friend was going in, so he would just have to go.

"Eh, whatever."

Shikamaru caught up with Naruto.

"Say, Naruto, why did you really want to see this city? I don't see anything interesting."

"You don't? Where's the old lady?"

"She said she's gonna wait for us. She's being all trying to scare us about the Goddess thing."

"I wish she had finish the story though," Naruto said. "I wanna know the suprise"

Shikamaru remained silent, as he felt a light breeze, he felt cool. It was as if that breeze had thrown water at him and refreshed him. He no longer felt dry, he would say he loves the ruined city but there's this feeling something was not right. What was it...?

The ground he stood on started shaking and then the very ground itself opened up.

"What the heck!? Naruto!"

Shikamaru turned and saw Naruto back away from the crack.

"Gaah, I think the Goddess is here." Naruto said.

"Don't sound so excited! We need to get out of this place!"

Naruto nodded and they quickly turned around and started running, he could still see the old woman on the camel but then sand started sprouting like volcano eruption. He closed his eyes as he got some sand into his eyes.

"Argh! Naruto!"

"Shikamaru! Shikamaru! Behind you!" He heard his friend say.

"What?" Shikamaru slightly opened his eyes and he saw...he wasn't sure who he was seeing.

Stormy blue-teal eyes was the last thing he saw before he blacked out.

----------------------------------------------

"What the fuck Temari? You bringing lost mutts now?" Kankurou said.

Temari glared at him. She just woken up not too long ago and she had learned new ways the today people speak thanks to her brother Kankurou, who now wears paint on his face because people think it's cool. Bizzare.

"Will you please be quiet." Temari said. "The least you could do, brother, is be nice since I have not seen you in ages."

Kankurou crossed his arms against his chest. "Yeah, well, sis, when have you ever said please? You're known as the violent Wind Goddess. You don't need to put up an act and could you please stop talking that way. It's irritating. It's like you're from a thousand years ago."

Temari rolled her eyes, "Fine," She took a deep breath. "Go to hell, Kankurou. You gotten whinier through out the years. Maybe I should beat you up while I'm awake." She lifted a hand and Kankurou was upside down.

Kankurou actually smiled, "Now that's more like you."

"Don't tell me you actually like my violent side."

"Ever since that stupid crap happened, I haven't seen you. So yeah, I do. Gaara isn't as violent as you. It's just not right, it wasn't balance."

Temari remained silent, she walked to where the young man was.

She frowned. She had not believe Gaara, but seeing him was like a punch into her stomach. Must history repeat itself? She made a mistake the last time that she had to pay for, but not this time around. She will not let it happen again.

"I don't know what you'd seen in him, Temari. It's just very wrong." Kankurou said.

She almost forgot, he was here.

"Him? Am I to believe this is the same young man, a thousand years ago?"

"Only you would know, Temari. You were the one that started it all." Kankurou said.

She looked at him again. It couldn't be him. He was slightly lighter, with feminine eyebrows and lips. The guy she met before was more manly looking, someone that looked like he went through alot. But she had seen his eyes, the dark eyes that haunted her back then. There was no mistaking it, it was him. She could feel him. She closed her eyes.

"This is my chance to fix it."

"Will you be able to fix it when he wakes up?" Gaara asked as he appeared beside her.

"All I have to do is kill him. It won't be hard."

"I believe they feel they would seek vengeance by killing him with their own hands."

"It was their own damn fault." She said stubbornly.

"They thought you loved him."

Love? Impossible, he was just different from the rest and she was curious.

-----------------------------------

Thousand Years ago (Again)

The next day.

Temari was floating in mid air thinking of a fun way to destroy the city. She was still wondering what she would do, destroy it completely or leave some behind? It shouldn't be that hard. But she'd been wondering about ridiculous things. She hurriedly tied her hair up loosely. She would handle the destroying city issue later for now she wants to have some fun.

He was walking around, just looking at the city, it may be very well his last chance. He remembered he did not appreciate this city as much as he did before. It was nothing but a city. He sighed, he was sort of melancholy. He's been bluffing since the day the Goddess came to this city.

And now she apparently have a suprise, a gift from the gods themselves can never be taken lightly.

"Ah, you're here."

"Where else would I be? You think I would leave the city now?"

"Of course not, you're bound to this city now." She said carelessly.

"Are you ready for the suprise?" She asked.

"As ready as I am for my death tomorrow" He said dryly.

"You sound less than energetic."

"Hurrah, the end of my life, can't wait."

"Alright" She took his hands and they were lifted from the ground.

He couldn't believe the feeling he felt. Never had he thought it was possible to have a chance to sort of fly. It was truly amazing as she twirled them and went fast then slow. He enjoyed every minute of it, flying. It was like being free, for that moment he didn't feel like he was chained to death, it was the best feeling. They were sort of dancing in midair. He was suprised that she would actually hold him and show him this. Let him experience it, it was...he was at lost for words.

"You have to experience this" She said, he looked up at her. Her eyes were brighter this time and calmer. He wondered if she knew that, if she was aware that her eyes betrays her.

"What other experience is much better than flying?" He asked.

She smirked and released her hold on him.

He started falling, but he did not scream, merely closed his eyes and experienced it. It was sort of weird, falling. Scary, if he thought about it, no one would catch him. But he did not care.

And then he felt a light touch on his cheek that made him open his eyes.

He was no longer falling.

"Wasn't that wonderful?" She asked.

He smiled. "It was wonderful."

Temari slowly smiled back, feeling happy that he was for once smiling out of happiness.
