Here's another chapter by Moi! Hopefully this will be awesome!

"Talking"

'Thought speak'

Flashback

Temari looked at the king and smiled. "It is an honour to be here, your majesty. I speak for my comrades, as well as myself, when I say that I hope that this visit will bring our nations closer together…..." Gaara mentally rolled his eyes, Temari is always so formal.He shot Kankuro a look.

Over the months since the Chunin exam disaster, the two brothers had gotten closer and had figured out a way to talk silently to each other with only a glance. Mostly this was because Gaara didn't like talking all together, but also to cut down on unnecessary noise during important missions.

The glance Gaara sent him translated to something along the lines of: 'do you think she's ever going to stop talking?'

'Probably not until she runs out of air.' A large grin formed on Kankuro's face. Gaara smirked before returning to his normal blank expression.

"We are so pleased to have an opportunity to understand the Ninja way of life. You all must be tired after such travels. Please don't think of this as a mission, think of this as a vacation with new friends." The King had managed to interrupt the eldest sibling's pleasantries when she had stopped to take a breath. Kankuro smiled triumphantly at Gaara.

-FLASHBACK-

"Come on Gaara, this is going to be so easy. Just a nice vacation to break up all the A and S ranked missions. Like last mission where we had to take back a stolen family heirloom from that crime lord." Kankuro looked up from his packing to glance at his younger brother.

"…"

"You have to admit that this mission can't be any easier."

"…"

"You sound like Temari" starts to speak in a high, squeaky voice. "Kankuro, this is not a game. We must resent our village and show that ninja's are not weak."

Temari's voice rang cleared from her room down the hall, "Kankuro, you had better be packing…."

Kankuro forming a mouth with his hand and moved it in time with Temari's speech. Gaara snorted as Temari entered the room.

"Are you mocking me?"

"Hey Temari, mocking you? Uh no…..just uh making shadow puppets." Kankuro didn't even sound convinced.

-END FLASHBACK-

….

Kankuro's smug grin wasn't overlooked by Joshua, who had chosen that moment to look over at the silent shinobi. Why is he so cocky (he missed the flashback so of course he assumes Kankuro is over-confident and not respecting the king request) how dare he.

….

Temari listened as King Justin continued to talk about how they should consider this a vacation and his home was their home. It was obvious that everyone here either believed the rumours or saw their age and thought that the shinobi were week and could only send teenagers. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask…"

She saw this as the perfect moment to intervene, "Sir, the only thing we require is an area where we may train."

Behind her Kankuro groaned, the party all turned too looked at him, "Great. More training."

"Kankuro, shut up." Temari shot a death glare at her brother, "Please forgive my brother, he has no common sense." The King looked at Kankuro puzzled; he hadn't noticed the strange ninja wearing all black and sporting purple face paint.

"It's quite alright, though I'm surprised that all you require other than rooms are access to our training yards. George," A knight stepped forward, "would you please show these young ninja to their rooms and give them directions to the training yard. That will be all." Turning back to the oldest of the trio, who was in the midst of glaring at Kankuro, he said. "It would please me if you would join me for dinner tonight, I will send a servant for you. Come along, Darsi." The King stood, along with his wife, and walked out of the hall, ignoring the bows and salutes. Gaara and Kankuro looked worriedly at their sister, who was most likely to turn on them if they made a wrong move. Sometimes having a sister isn't all it cracked up to be and they say I'm stupid Kankuro thought as that knight, George, led them through a passage that hopefully led to a bed.

How was that? Please read and please review! :D
