So Temari's feelings about her first conversation with the 'guy' that Ino set her up with... What has happened this time.
DISCLAIMER GALORE: I OWN NOTHING!!!!!
You'd think that just having a random conversation with someone you don't know would be kind of fun. What started out as an interesting stress relieving conversation with some person from Kohona turned into a slightly stressful conversation with none other than that Lazy ass nin named Shikamaru. I should have known that Ino would try something like that.
At first the conversation was light and easy going getting to know each other without giving too much information. Surprisingly I felt as though I had talked with this person before especially with the mannerisms and words. Eventually we figured out who the other was and we reached a mutual agreement to torture dear sweet Ino in due course. It was great fun till we started to talk about the treatment of the Jinchuuriki. It was weird because he was supportive and understanding of Gaara's situation as a Jinchuuriki. He was saying he knew another Container and that the way people treated 'him' disgusted the lazy ass. I didn't know that Kohona had their own Jinchuuriki, but some how it doesn't seem to compare to Gaara. And WHY did he say he cares?! Why should a ninja from another village care about my little brother. Why should he care about Gaara and his interactions with his fellow Suna Nin or the fact that Gaara interacting with them is probably difficult? I mean that lazy ass is a ninja! Feelings shouldn't matter! However if we didn't feel the need to protect those we care for why fight at all.
"UGH!!!" I moaned. I was raking my fingers through my bangs as I stomped around my room before flopping on to my bed. I sat up contemplating the brutal thrashing I wanted to give to Shikamaru if I ever saw him again. It had been a couple days since I had last talked to him and I wondered if I ever wanted to talk to him again.
"Stupid lazy ass," I grumbled.
"Something wrong, Temari," A voice called from my doorway. A voice until recently I had connected with pain or death. I looked up through my bangs to see Gaara looking at me slightly confused by my antics.
"I guess you could say that, but really it's just my mind going in circles on itself." I muttered in reply.
"I see…" he said as he came to stand in front of me. We stared at each other for a bit, Gaara obviously looking uncertain as how to proceed with his line of questioning. This is one of the few times he's shown any concern for anyone; well up until recently. He had been more conscious of other people, but he's still stands aloof from everyone and only says things when it is absolutely necessary. I felt a small sad smile appear on my lips before asking,
"Has it been hard for you lately, working in new teams I mean?"
He stared at me before blinking and frowning slightly.
"Trying to gain their trust is harder than Naruto made it seem. Well that seemed to be the main problem at first."
"What's the problem now?" I asked as I motioned for him to sit next to me on the bed.
"Trying to convince them that I have changed and that I will not hurt them." He answered quietly as he sat slightly on the edge of my bed.
I sighed and rested a hand on his shoulder. I felt him cringe under my touch but he didn't move away and so I left my hand there.
"They will realize it soon enough, Gaara. It's going to take time for them to see it, but as long as you keep trying and showing them that you have changed it will happen. Besides Kankuro and I are here for you whenever you need it. We will stand by you." I smiled at him and squeezed his shoulder in comfort.
He nodded his head slightly in acknowledgement. He then turned and looked at me, "So you are ok?"
I smiled and nodded, "Yes I'm better now. Thank you for worrying about me."
He nodded again and stood up to leave. As he reached the door he turned his head to look at me, "Do not let who ever is bothering you get the better of you." And with that he left.
Yup he's going to be fine. Guess I can oblige that 'Lazy ass' with something like an apology and continue talking to him. I mean he was fairly good company. Sigh here we go again.
So more circular thoughts to come. HEHEHEHE How has Shikamaru dealt with the conversation and the following days after- well you'll just have to wait till the next update. I'll try not to take too long, so I thank you for your patience in advance! THANKS!!
