Ch. 8 Rain's Research
"Gosh! What a night!" Temari shouted as she came thought the door. "That's nice Temari." Rain said as she was sitting on the floor amongst scattered scrolls and books. "You're such a young lady, Rain." Temari replied sarcastically. "What are you reading anyway?"
"Some of Don's family scrolls." Rain replied with the same monotone nature. "Don's what?" she shouted. "Scrolls, Temari, scrolls, s.c.r.o.l.l…." "I heard you the first time." She interrupted. "How did you get your hands on those anyhow?"
Rain didn't even look up at her, "Oh, I broke into his room and took them."Temari looked puzzled and shocked at the same time. "Why would you do that? Don't you think that's a bit disrespectful to your dead teammate? After all, that's invasion of privacy." Rain looked up at her, "Well so much happened between the time I first met Don and his death. I feel like I never got to know him all too well. I thought maybe some of his family scrolls could let me in on a little bit of his back ground, like did you know that If his dad wouldn't had died, he would have become the next Hokage, most likely?"
"No, I didn't know that. Don never told me anything like that." Temari replied. "Funny, he lived with you, not to mention you two love birds probably slept together on more than one occasion, what y'all did and how often is between you and him. I don't want to think about that." Rain said smirking. Temari turned very red, "Shut up, we never had sex you idiot. Ok, so we had that one fight over a bag of chips, leave it at that, gosh!"
"Also I think Don kind of felt pressured about his dad and all." Rain began. "What do you mean?" Temari asked. "Well think about it. Don's Father becoming Hokage, they would look to Don with a lot of promise. He would constantly be watched by his dad, the elders, his peers; you name it, maybe even our enemies." "Well that would make since."
Then Rain continued. "Not to mention, he had a rough childhood I'm sure. He did grow up pretty much alone. With his dad dead and his only family left being Hinata, I'm sure it must have been rough. Didn't he learn his abilities from everyone he knew? Before he had gained access to his family scrolls, he had no originality, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember, man he got into a lot of trouble at the academy. What a dumb ass." Temari chuckled. "It's a wonder he left. I guess he figured that once Hinata started to date Naruto, she was all set and she wouldn't need him anymore, because we all know how attached Hinata is to that guy."
"Yeah, however, was he really happy with us Temari?" Rain asked with a sad face. Temari smiled, "I think so, and he did stay in Suna with us didn't he? He did anxiously form squad seven and even made it a notorious reputation. So what would make you think he wasn't happy here?"
"I don't know. Just a thought of Don having still an emotional tie to Konaha deep within his heart, after all, this place is his original home." Rain said. "I guess that it true." Temari replied. She walked away and went into Don's old bedroom and flopped herself onto his old bed.
"God, why does this bed still smell like him?" she said happily. She looked to her left lazily to see a dark cloaked figure standing infront of Don's grave. "I wonder who that is?" she said to herself. She turned away to look at Rain for a second, when she turned her attention back to Don's grave, the mysterious figure was gone.
All of a sudden a knock came from the door. Temari got up to see Rain heading for the door. When Rain opened the door, no one was there. "Who was that?" Temari asked. "No one…" she replied. Temari turned a bit pale thinking of the dark figure she has seen moments before, she had a slight suspicion it was that thing. However, she put it in the back of her mind and went back to nap on Don's bed.
