YEAH! Chapter 2…finally….Sorry it took me so long to update, I had to sleepover at my school (it was AWESOME)

By the way italics are thoughts in case you haven't discovered that…..anyway here it is.

The knights exchanged shocked looks as Kankuro started at Temari. "Way to go Temari, now they're scared of us." Temari glared at her younger brother as Joshua cleared as throat.

"Oh no, not at all. Thank you for clarifying your mission. I think we should get back to the castle as to our orders. Right, men?" He glanced at his fellow knights.

"Yes Sir!"

"Alright, so we travel fast so if you shinobi can't keep up just tell me and we'll slow down."

They travelled through the forest at what the knights' obviously thought was a break-neck speed but to the young ninjas' it was terribly slow. Since the three siblings had decided to wait until telling the knights that extent of their abilities, Joshua truly believed that the teens were dying from the work out. Mostly because when they had come along the three, they had been resting. Plus it had been almost 3 weeks since they had offered peace the sand village, unknown to the knight that the council of elders had debated their offer for almost two weeks after receiving it. We'll see how three children ninja can compare to trained knights and squires. Joshua wore a small smile for that rest of the journey.

….

The castle was located on a ridge overlooking a quaint little town. The castle itself wasn't much different than a feudal lord's castle back in the shinobi lands, except on a larger scale. Made entirely out of stone, it casted an imposing shadow over the small village. The roofs shone in the mid-day sun and thick wood doors opened to enter one of the many sentries posted on the wall spotted them approaching. The knights guided their guest past horse stables and workshops on their way to present them to the king and queen of the realm. The shinobi, who lived in a desert and didn't see horses very often, were surprised to see so many in one place. Upon reaching a large wood door Joshua stopped them. "You are about to enter the presence of King Justin the Amazing so act accordingly."

Kankuro raise his hand and asked, "What's a king?" The knights looked at him dumbly as if they couldn't believe he had asked that. Gaara and Temari looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

"T-the King is the ruler of this entire land and you must show him proper respect." Joshua explained firmly, despite stuttering.

Kankuro looked at his siblings who were both glaring. Why do I have to have a scary family? It was just a simple question, plus now the knights are looking at me weird. The knight leader dude was leading into a leading them into a huge room. Kankuro gazed around in amazement;you could probably fit three council rooms in rooms in here.They were facing some old guy, well not that old maybe about 45-50 years old, wearing a shiny crown on his head. Next to him was a similarly aged (old) woman wearing a smaller crown. Kankuro glanced at his sister who had also noticed the difference in crown sizes and the fact that, while the two were both sitting on thrones, the woman's throne was simpler and on a lower platform then her husband. "My King and Queen, I present to you the Sand Village ninja." Joshua was angled toward the king, almost ignoring the queen. At this point Gaara had joined Kankuro in staring at the frowning Temari, who was a woman's activist at heart.

"Very well." Gaara and Kankuro both stopped staring at their sister as the king spoke in a surprisingly squeaky, high voice. Kankuro swallowed a laugh as Gaara's eyes shined with hidden laughter. The knights didn't seem to see but Temari, who understood her brothers' enough to know, glared at them. "You are young for warriors." The King commented. "I am Justin, King of all of Aliea, and this is my wife, Darsi. Welcome to Aliea."

Sorry this was so short but I'm so tired and I trying so hard not to fall asleep while writing this. I can tell I'm going to have A LOT of fun writing for King Justin. BWHAHAHA TTYL –falls asleep-
