Drabble Collection – For better or for worse, no matter what, my girl will always come first. (Ino/Temari) (Friendship)
Like all of my work this is just something that happened to float through the empty void inside my head. Like it or hate it please R and R as honest opinions are always welcomed, as are random acts of worship.
Lamb: As was said so recently by my wife 'I love making Gaara sweat', he thought it was bad with Shukaku living in his head but it's worse now that he's living in mine.
Muse: It's getting very crowded in here. We give thanks (and a rather old piece of Lamb's birthday cake) to WolfFlowerz, allie oops, sad little monkey, shelvesinthecloset, AkemiYumikov3, kljjlkjlkj, deathrosekitty, kiwi4m4, shadowphoenix101, and Doctor Giggles.
Dedi: Too crowded, anyway this drabble is dedicated to shelvesinthecloset
Lamb: As always sorry for any bad spelling and if you feel the need to throw things at me please wait until I've hidden behind the sofa kay!?
Muse: On with the fic!
Nobody wants to blow,
Nobody wants to be left out,
You can't leave, 'cause your heart is there,
But you can't stay, 'cause you been somewhere else,
You can't cry, 'cause you'll look broke down,
But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down,
It's a family affair,
Friends: Call your parents by Mr. and Mrs. and are polite to your siblings.
Best Friends: Call your parents DAD and MUM and treat you siblings as their own.
"Hey Bro!" Ino called happily, before glomping the redhead tightly ignoring his growl of protest.
Gaara mumbled something unintelligible under his breath and tried to wriggle free of the blonde's grip. Having one sister was bad enough but somehow he seemed to have gained another one and he wasn't even sure how that had come to pass. And the worst thing was nether Temari or Ino had any respect for his rank, he was the Kazekage for fucks sake but they just treated him like their little kid brother.
Life was not fair the redhead thought grumpily and was only slightly mollified by the fact that Ino, who had let go of him, was now nodding her head in agreement while his biological sister berated Kankuro for Kami-sama only knows what. Gaara almost longed to be able to return to the days when he could have just killed the lot of them and no one would have dared to say a thing. Almost, but not quite.
The pair of girls were always joking that Kami-sama had made them best friends because their respective families wouldn't have been able to cope with them being sisters. He, Gaara thought as he first glared up at Ino, who was leaning casually against a chair, and then at Temari, who was hitting a very sorry for himself puppeteer repeatedly in the shoulder, couldn't even deal with them being best friends. And neither from the look of it could Kankuro, who had finally managed to evade the wind princess only to be hit up side the head by the mind walker.
Though, and the former demon vessel could not suppress a slight smile at the thought, his life would have probably been very different if Ino had been his biological sister. His father had been a cold and calculating man, using the fear he inspired in others as a way of keeping in control. But from what he had heard right from the start the man had had problems in getting Temari to bend to his will and if he had had to deal with Ino too…
Yes, Gaara thought, his life might well have been very different. The Kazekage would have been far too busy trying to rain in the dynamic duo and keep Suna from falling down around his ears dew to their antics to have even been able to spare a moment to think of sealing a demon spirit within his unborn son.
Sure the two blondes were a pain when they were together but there were compensations. Now if only he could remember what they were…
Yes it was true that his life was more, not exactly enjoyable, but certainly more interesting.
He was having to stop a war braking out every other day, the two blondes when they were together were one of the most destructive forces he had ever had the misfortune to encounter. And probably the most destructive force Kankuro had ever encountered. The pair seemed to have made it their mission in life, after driving him insane, to warn every girl with in the five nations about the Suna puppeteer. The up shot of which was if Gaara wasn't having to listen to the two blue-eyed kunoichi plot world domination then he was having to put with hearing his older brother complain about his non-existent sex life.
"So... what ya doing?" The former Jinchūriki barley managed to hold back a growl of irritation as Ino draped herself over his shoulder and started nosing her way through the stack of paperwork on his desk. "Man this is dull, who knew being a Kage would be so boring."
"It's not really," Temari interjected as she leaned over Gaara's other shoulder; really he was starting to feel surrounded. "There's a big risk of paper cuts."
As the pair of blondes burst into peals of delighted laughter the redhead winced and wondered if they had just perforated both of his eardrums. Their mirth at Temari's rather pathetic joke was so excessive that they ended up leaning all of their weight on him so he had to fight not to end up flattened on the desk top. Managing to raise himself part way up, his mouth twisted into a snarl at the slight of Kankuro doubled over in silent laughter.
They said that you could choose your friends but not your relatives, and perhaps that was true. All Gaara knew was that he hadn't chosen any of his oh so annoying siblings, but yet here they were. All three of them.
Please R and R I'd love to know what you thought.
Big love and inspiration
