Well here's the next part... It maybe a 3-4 part-er so I'll try to update it as fast as I can... Please Enjoy!
Temari: Finally... The lazy ass is doing something more than crying.
Shikamaru: ::rolls eyes:: Troublesome women...
Troublesome. That's what walking through the desert is. At the beginning of this week Tsunade-Sama had decided to send me with some important papers for the council dealing with the treaty. Though she had wanted to wait till the next Kazekage was chosen, she decided that keeping a cordial alliance was more important at the moment.
Temari and I had been keeping a decent correspondence over the past couple of months after our initial shaky start, and so we had discussed my coming to Suna. As I had yet to travel to the Hidden village of the Sand, I had decided to ask Temari where I could find suitable accommodations. Her reply was what surprised me. She said that she and her brothers wouldn't mind hosting me while I was in town.
Kagenui: Your brothers are really ok with this?
Windmistress: Yeah they've worked with you and apparently Naruto and Gaara had talked at some point and mentioned you being one of Naruto's friends.
Kagenui: Ok… and Kankuro's ok with this because…
Windmistress: Because it's two against one. Jeez Cry baby you're making me think that you don't want to talk to me.
Kagenui: Troublesome. That's not why I ask. Over the past couple of months that we've been talking I've come to know that you and your family aren't that open to others outside your circle… I just don't want to intrude.
Windmistress: I wouldn't say you could stay if any of us thought you were. Besides what are friends for?
Yes we've become friends, as strange as that sounds, but that's what Ino wanted from us apparently.
After Temari and I had been talking for a week or so, my teammates and I finally had a chance to get together and eat lunch, this time being my turn to cook.
Oh don't look so shocked, just because I'm lazy doesn't mean I can't cook. My mom continually had me helping her cook at home, so when I moved to my apartment, shortly after reaching Chuunin, it was only natural to cook for myself, as troublesome as that is.
But that is beside the point, (Temari must be rubbing of on me…) while we were eating, Chouji asked if I had talked to anyone recently. I said yes that I had talked to the person whose screen name he had given me. Then Ino asked what I thought about them and I told them that she was the same old Temari that I remembered. Apparently Ino didn't think that either of us would figure it out for a while. Sigh you'd think she'd learn by now that she can't fool me that well.
So here I am Finally reaching Suna's impressive gates, after roughly three days of travel. As soon as I passed through the looming gates, Temari and her brother, Kankuro, where there to met me.
"Hey Cry baby, how was the trip?" Temari asked as soon as she saw me. Kankuro gave me an almost sympathetic look.
"Surprisingly well, Troublesome woman" I returned, hoping I wouldn't get whacked. I nodded in greeting to Kankuro.
"How 'bout lunch? Temari said with a grin. 'She's planning something I'm sure'
"I should deliver these first," I stated, hoping to avoid or at least waylay whatever had planned for me.
"The Council is in Session at the moment so there's no point in rushing to a room where no one will be able to take it. You may as well join us," Kankuro informed me. "Besides," He whispered, "This will probably be the last good tasting meal you have while you stay with us."
"What horrors are you telling him now, Kankuro?" Temari very nearly growled.
"Nothing that isn't already known, Temari," Kankuro Grinned.
'It's going to be a long trip,' I thought to myself as I followed the two Sand Siblings into town.
So There's the first part... let me know how you like it! Ja ne! ;)
