Sorry….my new puppy won't let me near the computer for long…...I don't own anything ... BTW Temari is thinking in this one…..feels like a nice break….

Squire Devin looked up at the knight holding his arm. "Sir Brian, sir." He saluted. "This girl was being disrespectful to squires and knights everywhere; we couldn't allow her to spread filth on our good names, now can we?" He looked up at Sir Brian.

Sir Brian looked disgusted, like something at crawled up his nose and died. "Girl," Brain faced Temari, "Is what this squire says true?" wow this guys a jerk.

"No, you see me and my brothers," She looked at Gaara and Kankuro while the squire exchanged shocked glances. Why are people always surprised we they find out Gaara and Kankuro are my brothers?"We were just warming up here because that knight over there told us that we could go over here."," She took this opportunity to point at the knight still leading warm-ups. She looked up at the rather tall knight who was listening intently. "Then in the middle of our exercises, they showed up and started insulting us." Sir Brian looked over at the squires. All of them except for Devin and another boy had their heads bent in shame while Devin looked aghast that the knight would listen to a woman much less a foreigner. I'll teach him soon enough not to underestimate me.

"Young lady I must ask who you are? And why start training here now? I haven't seen you or your companions here before." Sir Brain looked down at the blonde shinobi.

Devin piped up, "Who cares who she is? She's just a liar who doesn't want to get into trouble. Clearly you can see that sir. I mean those two couldn't possibly be her brothers and earlier she was saying stuff about how she was a guest of the kingdom and a ninja; which can't be true. She is probably some chit looking to black mail someone or find a rich, powerful husband because she obviously wouldn't have any suitors looking the way she does. I know all about her."

Another squire joined in, "Even if she was a ninja, it's not like she would be able to beat a man any day of the week."

Something in Temari snapped, all manners were forgotten. "How would you know anything about me? Or Shinobi's in general. I challenge you to a duel. Since you seem to know all about me you should have no reason about why you should decline."

Devin looked shocked. While the other boy smiled, "Fine, a chance to put you in your place"

….…

Sir Brian looked from the girl, who was grinning, to her make-up wearing 'brother' who was clenching and unclenching his fists. Is this girl serious? Challenging a squire, this is crazy.He called for silence. "Since you seem hell bent to fight, allow me to make this official and mediate." There, now I can stop him from killing her.

"Wait a sec" everyone looked at the tallest of the girl's 'brothers' (Kankuro) "I challenge that guy…Devin or whatever" He pointed at Devin.

Devin laughed and said, "This is going to be fun, I'll whip the ground with you."

Brian shook his head sadly. Another kid who doesn't know these squires have trained for 7 years already, they don't have a chance."Alright, you have 15 minutes to prepare for your duel be back here before that time is up." I hope they come to their senses.

-TIME SKIP…15 minutes later-

Much to Sir Brian's aggravation, both parties showed up on time. "Okay may the first challenge step forward?" The girl and Squire Christian both faced him as their comrades took their positions around the make-shift arena.

"Now I, Sir Brian of Nostrain, announce that the battle between Squire Christian of Lestiner, and um…." His face flushed as he realized he didn't the girl name as the question didn't get answered earlier, "Miss, what is your name?"

She looked him directly in the eyes and said, "I'm Temari, Chunin of Sunagakure." Christen looked at her puzzled by her title.

"Temari, Chunin of Sonagakura"; Sir Brian was a bit uncertain of his pronunciation. "And Squire Christian's battle may begin." Christian wasted no time pulling out his sword and charging at her. She didn't move even as her opponent was knocked backwards by an invisible force. Temari walked over and reached for the piece of wood on her back. She opened it to reveal…a fan.What kind of a weapon is a fan? She waved it once causing the almost unconscious squire to fly up into the air as cut started to appear on his skin. That fan controls the wind? "Stop this match is over" Brian yelled to Temari. The wind stopped and the squire fell to the ground, Medics hurried over to treat him.

"Oh good now it's my turn," The make-up wearing stranger stepped forward along with Sir Devin. Still shocked that a teenage girl could control the wind and injure an experienced squire, Brian announced the start of the second challenge duel. So the make-up guy is named Kankuro and he is from the same place as the girl. What does the word Chunin mean and why do these to kids called that? Can he control wind too?Brian came back to reality just in time to see Devin run his sword through Kankuro's chest.

"Ha ha, as I said easiest thing in the world." Kankuro head was bent staring at the sword. Poor kid, if he's still alive he probably in shock.Kankuro suddenly grabbed Devin's arm keeping him from pulling out his sword. "What the….? Were you hoping to tell me your finale request?" Devin tried in vain to release the fingers holding him arm. Kankuro head snapped up revealing half of his face was peeling off showing gears and mechanical stuff.

"I guess it's my turn to make a move?" The wrapped bundle on Kankuro's back suddenly came apart showing a crouched Kankuro. Brian looked transfixed at the sight. Somehow he switched himself with a living puppet causing him to continue fighting using it….amazing.Meanwhile the puppet shot some nasty looking darts into Devin's neck causing him to collapse. Another medical unit arrived to take him to the hospital wing. By this time only Brian and the three strangers remained. Brian looked warily at the teenagers. Even I, a so-called genius at fighting, couldn't possibly do any they can do. And they're only slightly younger than me.

"Well that was easy, I think we can count that as a warm up now let's get training." Temari said brightly to her companions.

"Temari, lets just relax for a while 'kay?" Kankuro looked at the girl and in a few moments an all fight had broken out between them.

"Are they always like this?" Brian asked the young red-headed bystander.

"Sadly yes," Brian eyes widened at the deep, emotionless voice the 13 year-old had. I still don't know his name. Could he be as powerful as the other two? Brian dismissed the thought. No way. he is just a kid."Temari, Kankuro." All movement stopped as the older teenagers froze and looked at the red head. "I do believe I won the bet." Amazing, they look scared stiff.Their eyes widened as they started making excuses to leave tripping over themselves in their hurry.

"What bet," Sir Brian's curiosity got the better of him. The kid looked at him, totally ignored his question and started to walk away muttering something that sounded awfully close to "Finally some peace and quiet." I must report this to the king right away.Brian ran off.

….

Those demons shouldn't have come here. That poor child must be under their control. I must save him. The demons must be sent back to hell.A shadow exited the training yard in search of information he needed.

CLIFFHANGER! Is this mysterious figure the same one from before? Could it be more than one person has dangerous plans for the sand sibs? What do you think? Please review and tell me what you think will happen next…another chapter next week.
