We followed the siblings to a hotel down the street from where we took our exams. The room they were staying in had four rooms so it wasn't going to be over crowded. I sat next to the window; Azame sat on the couch and dozed off. Temari walked of angrily into her room, Kankuro walked into the kitchen before coming to bother me and Kisa was asking Gaara random questions.
I watched as Kisa poked his gourd, he just looked at her.
"What is this used for?" Kisa asked poking it again.
"Sand". Gaara replied bluntly.
"Why?" Kisa asked eyes getting big.
"Because it is".
"Why" Kisa asked again.
I watched as Gaara's eye twitched, "I said because it is."
"Oh," she said quietly looking down, she then looked up and brightly asked, "Can I have a cookie?"
"What?" Gaara asked blankly.
"Can I have a cookie?" Kisa asked again giving him the puppy dog eyes.
I sighed and stood up, "No Kisa."
"But why!" she whined, "I haven't had a cookie in like two days! I'm gonna die!" She made a fainting motion.
I rolled my eyes, "You had a cookie two hours ago, before the exams." I folded my arms and looked sternly at her.
"But please?" She looked at me begging.
"No," I said in finality. I raised an eyebrow as tears sprung in her eyes.
"Why can't she have a cookie?" Kankuro asked leaning against the wall next to me.
I shook my head and said, "You don't want to know, you think she's hyper now..." I shuddered at the thought.
Kankuro laughed, "I see, at least your brother isn't an emotionless psycho."
I looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"
He sighed, "I really shouldn't say anything, he might get mad."
Kisa then stood up, "I'm hungry! I'm going to go get something to eat!" She then ran out of the door.
"Dammit," I hissed, "Azame wake up! Kisa bailed again."
"Again"? Kankuro said running after us. "You mean she's done this before?"
"Yeah," I said dashing through the streets with three other people at my heels, "She's really spontaneous."
Kankuro laughed, "I can tell."
"Panda! Kitty! 'Zame, Kyr'"! We heard Kisa call from across the street. We stopped and looked at her. She was waving and jumping up and down, "I found the ramen place!" She squealed jumping up and down as we walked up.
"You know we did have ramen at the hotel right?" Kankuro said looking at her confused.
Kisa rolled her eyes and said, "But it's not outside now is it?" She took Gaara's hand, "Come on! I want to sit next to Panda and Kitty!"
I looked at Azame and Kankuro, "I guess we're having ramen. And that we're paying."
"We can pay for ourselves," Kankuro said following us into the ramen shop.
I sat down between him and Azame, "its ok," I said taking a menu, "It's the least we can do for letting us stay with you."
"Well I guess," Kankuro replied adjusting his hood.
I grinned and looked over at Kisa, she was ticking of the items off of her menu, "Miso ramen, chicken ramen, beef ramen, hey!" She yelled looking over at me and Azame, "They don't have cookies here!"
Azame and I sighed, and then I said, "Of course they don't Kisa; it's a ramen Shop."
"Well that's stupid!" she said folding her arms and pouting.
"How"? Kankuro asked scratching his head.
"Because it is"! She said still pouting, "Do you think there is a cookie shop around this place?" She got up but Gaara grabbed her hand and sat her back down.
"After you eat," He said handing her a menu again, "Now hurry up and pick something."
"Fine," She grumbled, "I want the chicken ramen."
I ordered the miso ramen and waited for it. Meanwhile Kankuro was asking me questions.
"What village are you from," he asked looking curiously at me.
I pointed to the headband around my neck, "The Rock Village." I said blankly looking back at him. "You"?
He pointed to his hood, "The Sand Village. Why is your eye's gold? And your sister's silver?"
I shrugged, "Our kekkei genkai. It's called the Yin and Yang curse, I am the Yin side, dark, stillness, cold, introverted. While Kisa is the Yang side, Bright, movement, warm, and extroverted."
Kankuro thought for a moment, "I see."
I asked him a question then, "Why do you wear makeup if you're a guy?"
He twitched at the word 'make up', "It's not makeup, its kabuki paint."
"The difference is?" I asked indifferent.
His eye twitched again, "Never mind."
I smirked as our ramen came; we ate in silence, except for Kisa who was babbling to Gaara. When we were done we headed back to the hotel, to prepare for the second stage of the Chunnin Exams
