Temari sat across from Sakura, staring at her through the steam rising off her tea. She had arranged this meeting with Sakura to see how the other woman was fitting in in Suna, or at least, that's what she had told Sakura. The real reason she wanted to talk to Sakura was to see how Sakura felt about her relationship with Gaara. Temari still wasn't sure what to think of the pink haired nin who was currently shagging her brother.
She shuddered a little at the thought. Not that she thought it was disgusting, it was still an idea too foreign to be disgusting. Three days ago when Kankuro had first suggested that Sakura and Gaara were sleeping together, Temari had been surprised, but she'd had time to think about it since then. There was really no reason for her to surprised; after all, Gaara and Sakura had been living together for months, and she knew that Gaara had been visiting Sakura at night.
But though she had been thinking about it, she still couldn't get over the initial weirdness of it all.
"...he seems like an interesting character, but his physiology is even more interesting. I'm quite looking forward to taking a look at him; he's agreed to meet me next week for a check up." Sakura was saying. She paused for a moment to regard Temari with wry amusement. "Why do I get the feeling this isn't what you want to hear about?"
Temari smiled ruefully. "Sorry. I am interested, really, it's just that there are other things on my mind."
"Work?" Sakura asked.
Temari shook her head, and then nodded. "Well, yes, but that's not it. I mean, I really wanted to ask you how things were going with my brother."
Sakura glanced around quickly and then leaned in closer to Temari. "I'd be happy to talk more about your brother, but I'd rather not talk about it here."
Temari too glanced around, noticing how busy the cafe had become since they had first arrived. She nodded. "Of course. Would you like to come back to our place to talk more?"
Sakura nodded. "Sure. Why not?"
