Temari had been walking for a few days. This is so boring. She thought as she continued her quest to Konoha. I should be there soon. She was now able to see what was the large wooden wall around the village. Ha, I was right.She laughed to herself as she walked to the large gate. She pushed it open then walked in.

A ninja wearing his bandanna head band backwards stopped her before she got five steps into the village. "Where is you..." before he could finish his sentence Sakura ran up.

"Temari!" She shouted, "Tsunade has been waiting! What took so long? Oh it doesn't matter. Just come on. Don't worry Genma she is supposed to be here." She said rather quickly.

"Um, right: Temari replied following the pink-haired female shinobi.

They walked into the Hokage's office. "Ah, Temari, you made it. You have something for me, correct?" Tsunade said smiling softly.

"Yes," Temari answered pulling the scroll out, and handing it to her. Tsunade opened the scroll, reading it.

"Very well," the very large breasted woman said to herself. She then left the room. Sakura followed her then came back after a moment.

"Lady Tsunade says you should go. get washed up, eat something, see your friends, do whatever because there is no way you can leave yet. It will take a day or so for her to fill your brother's request," Sakura said very cheerfully.

"Alright,"Temari said flatly. She wasn't at all happy about spending who knows how long there. Ugh the longer I'm here the greater the chance I will see him.

She sighed walking outside. For the most part Konoha looked the same, but everything has also somehow changed. Well I might as well go get something to eat. She thought then started walking to the ramen shop. She looked at the ground as she walked, not paying attention to where she was going. She suddenly ran into someone.

"Oops I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to.." her sentence was cut off by a hug.

"Temari!" Said the boy she ran into.

Oh God. She thought hoping it wasn't Shikamaru. She looked at who hugged her after he let go. "Choji!" she said being relived.

"What are you doing here?" he asked smiling brightly.

"Um I'm on a mission, but I'm here for a few days orders of Lady Tsunade," Temari replied glad Shikamaru wasn't with him.

"Oh, that's cool," he said , "So have you seen Shikamaru yet?" he asked curiously.

"No.. No i haven't" she choked out. The sound of his name hitting her hard.

"Hmm. Okay," Hey sighed, "I wish I could stay, but I'm on my way to train with Ino and Shikamaru. Hey!" he said having an idea.

"yeah?" She asked already knowing what he was going to say.

"Why don't you come with me?" He asked smiling.

"I'm sorry Choji," she said, "I need to eat. Maybe I'll catch up with you later?" She said.

He grinned, "Alright Temari," he said he the walked on.

Whoa that was close. She thought. She sighed not being hungry anymore. She decided to walk around, and just relax. As she walked around she saw more of her friends. They all looked so different.

Time seemed to fly as she walked around. She didn't really talk much to any of her friends. She mainly waved, exchanged a few words then continued walking.

She sat down in a field looking up at the stars and clouds. The night was calm, the air was cool and refreshing. She closed her eyes deep in thought. She was so deep in thought she didn't sense someone coming up next to her.

"Temari?" came a low calm voice.

She opened her eyes to see who said her name. She blinked staring at the person in horror wishing, and hoping it were a dream, but knowing she was wide awake.
