Hi people! This is the first chapter in the second part. Enjoy!

Chapter8: A New Beginning

"Order up!" A woman yelled as she placed a plate of ramen on the counter.

"I'm coming!" Another woman yelled with a smile on her face.

"Temari your shift ended an hour ago." the woman said to her surprised that she was still working.

"I know Ms. Kurenai but I'm working extra hours for a raise." Kurenai smiled.

"You know most women your age would probably be at some club right now and yet you're here working." She thought to herself as she handed Temari the plate.

5 years had past since Temari had run away from Kyo and started her new life in the Konaha. She found herself staying in hotels at times but she eventually found a place to stay.

"Hi sir may I take your order." The man looked at the menu once more before answering.

"Yes I'll take the chicken ramen." He said putting the menu down she smiled and went to put in his order. She felt a hand touch her butt as she walked away. She paid no attention and walked off. She heard someone yelling in pain. She turned around to one of the waiters choking.

"I would really appreciate it if you chose to respect the waitresses." The waiter said squeezing the man's neck.

"Sasuke put him down its okay." Temari grabbed Sasuke arm hoping that he would let go. Sasuke put the man down and watched him pant for air.

"I expect you'll never do it again?" Sasuke said in a somewhat threatening voice. The man shock his head in understanding then ran out the restaurant. Temari gazed at the hate in his eyes as he turned away and went back to waiting tables. Sasuke was the first friend she had made when she came to the Konaha but at times he scared her because sometimes had the look of a homicidal killer and that when he was pissed off he sort of reminded her of Kyo.


Temari walked home as Sasuke walked beside her. Sasuke walked quietly looking in front of him as Temari did the same. She turned the corner to her apartment complex and waved at Sasuke even though as usual he just kept walking. She walked up to her door and opened it.

"Mommy!" A child leaped into her arms.

"Miki Aren't you suppose to be in bed?" she smiled.

"I wanted to wait for you to get home." Miki smiled.

"I tried to get her to sleep but she just wouldn't." The babysitter said as she gathered her stuff. Temari took out her purse.

"How much do I owe you Sakura?" Sakura headed for the door.

"Nothing, you know that I enjoy taking care of Miki." Sakura refused to take Temari's money. Sakura had been friends with Temari for a while now. They seemed to eye to eye on everything. "Bye Miki-chan." Sakura said walking out the door.

"Bye!" Miki said with a huge smile on her face. Temari closed the door.

"Okay, now time to get you to sleep." Temari smiled as her daughter smiled back.


"Why did you run from me, Temari?" she heard this voice constantly harassing her. The struck with fear every time she heard it.

"Who is it?! Leave me alone!" she tried running from it hoping that she wouldn't hear it any more. She ran to the point where she saw a man. She ran up to him. "Help me! Please sir!" She felt a slap come across her face. She looked at the man's face to see it was Kyo. She screamed as she began to run from him.

"Stop running from me!" She felt some one grab her arms. I was Kyo again she couldn't seem to escape him. Let go she screamed as he began to pull her in towards the sound.

"Leave me alone! No, I don't want to go back! Leave me alone!" She yelled as she woke up. She noticed it had only been a nightmare, which relieved her in more ways than one. Miki sat next to her mother's bedside.

"Mommy, why were you screaming?" Miki wondered.

"Nothing, I just had a bad dream. That's all." She answered.

"What was it about?" Miki wanted to know.

"Why do you want to know?" She said playfully trying to maintain a smile.

"You were screaming leave me alone and I don't want to go back. You sounded like you were scared mommy." Miki said in concern.

"Don't worry sweat heart it's nothing to worry about." She said getting and stretching with a wide yawn. "While I'm at it, it's time to give a bath." She grabbed Miki and laughed playfully with her daughter hoping that her life would remain the way it was.


"Mommy, what are those scars on your back there for?" Miki asked a she saw her mother get dressed. She hesitated to answer the question.

"A couple years ago, I fell down some steps and these came with the accident." She lied. She didn't like lying to her daughter but when the subject came up about her father. She tried best to avoid the subject.

"Okay Miki, time to go." She grabbed her hand. And started too walked out the door.


Hi this is the first Chapter in the second part. Personally I dislike this chapter because I had to explain the new situation. What a bore this was sitting at my computer with no ideas on how to start this chapter. Any who, I hoped you enjoyed it more than I did. R&R please!
