Gaara's Journal

Chapter 2 - Revenge

About a month had passed and Gaara was done plotting revenge against Kankuro. That day, however, Kankuro returned to the hospital so the doctors could decide if he should get his cast off or not. Meanwhile at home, Gaara silently shuffled from his room to the living room. Temari was once again watching her now favorite TV show: Cooking Ramen With Naruto Uzumaki.

"Come with me or else." Gaara commanded.

"Okay." She simply replied. Temari didn't want to end up like Kankuro. She had better things to do than play a mummy all day. "Where are we going?" She asked following him down the hallway towards where each of their rooms were.

"To get revenge." He replied.

"Oh so that's why you laugh menacingly at him like this morning at breakfast." Temari said. They soon entered Kankuro's room.

"Look for his journal." Gaara commanded. Temari did as told and began searching like she had in Gaara's room. If Kankuro told him, Temari would be done for.

"Oh God." Temari said in disgust at what she saw before her. Kankuro's purple journal lay beneath a pair of white, unwashed underwear.

"Ew." was all Gaara could manage to say. He grabbed a pencil off of Kankuro's desk, and threw the underwear onto Kankuro's bed beside crow. Both of them opened the journal to the first page and began reading.

Entry 1 My room, 10:45pm

First of all, crow is not a doll. He is a puppet and a good weapon (or at least I think so). Temari, this makeup goes good with my cat suit. You don't make fun of Gaara! Well. . . his isn't makeup. Her cooking is a disgrace too. I can't believe I haven't gotten like food poisoning. I'm definitely afraid to eat Gaara's food. . .if he can cook that is.

"My cooking is not that bad!" Temari said. Gaara gave her a stern look.

"I don't wear eyeliner and I can cook." he stated, then flipped the page and continued reading.

Entry 2 Bathroom, 7:30pm

Temari can't cook for her life. Now I'm stuck here and guess why? Thanks Temari! I wonder what Gaara is planning. Every time we cross paths he will laugh menacingly. Today at breakfast he was laughing at his cereal. You know, I don't think cereal is that funny. I wonder what he's up to. . .

"That's it I'm out of here. If my cooking stinks that bad, he can make dinner for himself!" Temari said. She turned and walked down the hallway. As soon as no one was around, Gaara laughed madly.

"Time for part 2 of my revenge!" He said. Gaara returned to the living room to find none other than Kankuro back from the hospital. He was sitting on the couch, his feet on the table, and he was playing his Nintendo DS. Gaara didn't make any kind of noise. It took Kankuro about 30 seconds to notice that Gaara had been standing there, staring at him with his arms folded across his chest.

"Hi Gaara." Kankuro said, his eyes still on the screen. Gaara remained silent. Kankuro closed his DS still leaving it on, and set it on the table. "Listen, what are you planning against me? You laugh at me every day when we cross paths, you write about me in your journal, and you were laughing at your cereal. How is cereal of all things that funny?" Kankuro explained.

"Leave my journal out of this cat man." Gaara said. Now Kankuro looked puzzled. Did Gaara just call him Cat man ? He wore a cat suit and all but "cat man" was taking it too far.

"You wanna start something raccoon boy? C'mon we can take this outside."Kankuro said pointing to the front door. What? Gaara didn't look like a raccoon (or at least he didn't think so).

"Don't worry. You have nothing to fear. Take it easy. You don't want to have another accident." Gaara said. He grinned and walked away. Kankuro once again looked confused. Accident? What Gaara did to him was no accident. It was on purpose and Kankuro wasn't planning to do it again. Also, why was Gaara being nice all of a sudden? What did he mean by "take it easy." What in the word is he planning?!?! Later, Kankuro was writing in his journal before bed.

Entry 3 My room, 9:53pm

I'm highly confused right now. I officially know now that Gaara is planning against me. He started being all nice and stuff saying stuff like "take it easy". I'm afraid he might do something diabolical.

He closed his journal, put it away, and sat up on his bed. Kankuro was afraid to sleep that night. What if Gaara came into his room and did something to him while he was sleeping? Forty minutes had passed and so far, nothing had happened. Just when Kankuro thought everything was okay, things changed. Everything fell silent and then footsteps were heard getting louder. A door closed, then there was silence again. Kankuro's eyes widened as there was a loud noise near his door as if someone kicked it really hard. The door fell and landed before his bed. In walked a smiling sand ninja with something in his arms. "Goodnight Kankuro!" he said happily and set a giant stuffed cookie monster at the foot of Kankuro's bed, then left leaving the sesame street character staring directly at Kankuro.

It was holding a jar of cookies in one hand and a single cookie in the other. It's big bulging eyes, that all black smile, and the blue messed up fur made the "monster" in "cookie monster" true. Kankuro didn't understand why little kids found it appealing, but that wasn't on his mind. He was now shaking in an upright fetal position on his bed near the top, being sure to stay away from the "monster". His lamp flickered and then went out leaving his room pitch black except for a little light from his window shining on cookie monster's furry face. "DON'T KILL ME!" he screamed, turning away and putting his hands infront of his face. Gaara laughed. He was in the kitchen messing with the electricity. An angry kunoichi soon appeared infront of him.

"Knock it off Gaara! Baki told you not to do that! Now I have to reset my clock." She explained and walked away. Gaara decided that was enough for today. He turned the electricity back on, and headed back to his room. He reached the end of the hallway when none other than Kankuro ran into him looking really scared. He tried to change his look but it was obvious.

"Hello Gaara." he said. Gaara smiled.

"Where are you off to?" he asked.

"Bathroom." Kankuro lied. He tried to leave but Gaara blocked his way.

"Nonsense! Now let's get you back to bed." he said and pushed Kankuro back into his room. Gaara saw down at his desk and pulled out a book.

Entry 4 Revenge-Part 2

Part 2 of my revenge took action today. I was dying. First, I confused Kankuro with kindness, then, before bedtime, I put my stuffed cookie monster infront of his bed and his expression was hilarious! I wish Shukaku could've been there. Finally, I started messing with the electricity box in the kitchen on the wall. Temari was angry about that but my revenge was a success! Now, I must plan for tomorrow.

He slipped the journal into his desk. The night had passed rather quickly and Gaara wanted to see how Kankuro slept. He walked into the kitchen and prepared coffee for himself as he usually would. Temari walked into the kitchen not to much later. "What did you do to our brother?" She asked doing the same as Gaara. Gaara laughed.

"I just wanted to mess with him." he replied.

"For reading your journal?" She asked.

"Yes. Oh, and don't think I don't know that you were in on that too. I know everything Temari." he said. Temari's expression changed and now she was wary of what Gaara might do to her. A month had passed, so had he gotten over it? Now she had to keep an eye on him.

"When should we wake Kankuro up?" she asked turning towards Gaara.

"How about now?" They both got up, set the coffee down, and headed toward Kankuro's room.

"Where's the door?" Temari whispered. Gaara remained silent. Temari also noticed the giant cookie monster in the corner but she didn't ask about that. They approached his bed. Kankuro actually fell asleep. Now it was time to rise and shine. Temari tapped him on the arm but he didn't budge.

"Wake up cat man!" Gaara yelled in his ear. Kankuro flew up from his sleep.

"I SWEAR I DON'T LIVE ON SESAME STREET!" He shouted, breathing heavy and sweating.

"What in the world were you dreaming about?" Temari asked. Kankuro pointed to Gaara, then the entrance to his room which now remained with no door. Both siblings left. "Now I have to go to the hardware store and get him a new door." It had been moved against the wall and had a huge crack where Gaara kicked it. He returned to the kitchen, grabbed his cup of coffee, and went to his office.

"Now," said Gaara "time to plan part three of my revenge, and that should be it for a while."
