Me: Hi.
13 : Look at that, your alive.
Me: (Yawn) Yep, anyway, my inspiration has dropped by long enough for me to write this. I'm not so sure I like how it turned out but I wasn't going to keep you guys waiting any longer.
13 : That was nice of you. (Sarcasm)
Me: (Half asleep) Oh thanks 13...you guys are awesome too...(Asleep)
13 : Oh well, enjoy.
Hmm...what was I dreaming about again? Sasuke lay staring at the dark ceiling. Oh, right! That's it! It was about...
The door opened and a small ray of light from the dinning room flashed across the room as Nazu jumped up on the bed and began to lick him.
"Hey! Cut it out Nazu." Sasuke managed to push him off and gave up trying to remember his forgotten dream.
He stumbled around in the nearly black room pulling on a clean set of dark brown clothes and walked out to the dinning room where Gaara was currently reading.
Sasuke looked out the window and saw absolutely nothing. What time is it?
He searched for a clock and found it sitting on the counter. It read four-thirty.
He yawned and set to work getting himself breakfast. By the time his breakfast was over the world finally had decided it wanted to wake up and the sun was beginning to cast a soft glow over the village.
Sasuke began cleaning up and nearly got ready for school before he remembered it was a weekend day. He flopped onto the couch wondering why he was awake.
His gaze shifted towards Gaara as he became interested to know what his friend was up to.
Gaara was sitting on a chair at the table reading a scroll with an almost unnoticeable expression of confusion.
"What are you reading?" Sasuke asked sitting up.
Gaara looked at him, then held the scroll towards him so he could read it.
Sasuke took it and scanned it. Realizing that it was a letter to Gaara he slowed down a little.
It was a message from the Kazekage informing Gaara that he would be moving into a house across the village.
"Hn? Why is the Kazekage bothering you?" Sasuke asked quietly still reading.
"My dad wants me to move in with my brother and sister." Gaara said taking a bite of rice.
"The Kazekage is your dad?" Sasuke asked looking up from the scroll.
"Yes." Gaara took the scroll back. "I'm going to have to move in by next week. I can't remember where it is though."
"I'll help. We can look for it today after breakfast." Sasuke said with enthusiasm.
Gaara finished his rice and sat the bowl in the sink.
"I don't really want to though. Kankuro and Temari are idiots. I'm scared to think of what it will be like living with them." He said nearly groaning at the thought.
Sasuke nearly said something but stayed quiet and put his sandals on instead.
"Lets go!" He said grabbing Gaara. Nazu jumped onto Sasukes shoulder as they hurried out the door.
"Do you think we could stop now?" Gaara asked out of breath. They had searched nearly half the village so far and it was late in the afternoon. Gaara was in the back slowly following Sasuke who was holding up the scroll and looking at each house to find the one with the proper address, while Nazu stood panting under Gaaras legs.
"No we need to find your house."
Gaara looked at him.
"Fine. I didn't know you wanted me to move out that bad though." He said trying to joke.
"What? No I just thought..."
Gaara took the scroll from Sasuke.
"Let's just follow her." He said pointing at Temari.
She was walking down the street with a brown shopping bag full of food.
"Okay let's go." Sasuke said crouching behind a merchants stall.
Gaara bent down as she walked past and they each straightened up to follow as she went further down the street.
She walked into a book store.
"Oh. You live in a shop? I guess that's why we couldn't find it." Sasuke said.
Gaara looked at him then back at the shop as Temari walked back out with a book in her hand and the bag of food in the other.
"Nope." And they were off.
After the first stop she walked around town for some time and ended up sitting down behind a building in the shade. She pulled out a sandwich and began to eat as she read her book.
No way. They both internally groaned. She was going to take forever wasn't she.
After nearly an hour someone shouted from behind them. Lucky they were hidden from that persons view, sadly that didn't stop Nazu from becoming startled. The boys helplessly watched as the young fox ran away from the noise and towards the person they'd been stalking for so long.
She looked up from her book as the fox ducked behind her.
"Hey there little guy, what's up?" She asked trying to pick him up.
"Hey!" Sasuke stepped from behind the crate. "He's ours."
"What?" She looked at him. "Oh this little guy? What's he running from?"
Sasuke came towards her to get the fox. "Something scared him." He said talking about the noise.
Gaara peeked out from behind the crate to see what was happening.
Temari spotted him and took an involuntary step back.
"Uh," She looked away from him and turned to Sasuke who was focused on getting Nazu.
"Grab him and ,umm, take him home." She said to Sasuke grabbing her bags.
Gaara walked towards Sasuke.
She felt a bit of panic rise as she stepped in between him and his destination.
"I said let's go kid." She said in controlled tone, pretending that Gaara wasn't there.
"Hn? He won't listen to me." He said as Nazu backed away from him.
Temari looked back at Sasuke and would have rolled her eyes had the situation not been so serious.
Suddenly the fox ran past Sasuke and Temari and jumped to safety of Gaaras arms.
Gaara looked surprised and pet him on the head.
What?! Temari thought. As she looked at him the sudden thought that he looked adorable holding the fox passed through her head but shot out as soon as she remembered who was holding it.
"Err, Gaara," She said trying not to sound as terrified as she was. "The kid wants his fox back. Alright?"
Not realizing she had even said anything Sasuke walked up to Gaara and glared at the fox.
"Traitor." He muttered as the fox nestled into Gaaras arms.
"Wha.." Temari stared.
Gaara was focused on the fox but looked up at her.
"Do know where the house is?" He said with a dull expression.
She stared at him a moment before registering that he had spoken.
"Uhh," She swallowed and straightened up."Yes, it's ,umm, it's this way. Just, umm, follow me." She grinned nervously.
She began to lead them down the ally and took a few turns, taking care not to go towards any busy streets.
As they stopped near a house she turned around and looked at him.
She was surprised to find that Sasuke and Nazu were still present.
"Ahh, what are you doing?" She asked nervously.
"We wanted to see where Gaara lived too." Sasuke answered. "Is this it?" He pointed at the house they'd stopped in front of.
"Oh, uh, no. It's the next one, over here." She walked over to the door and pulled out a key from under a pot with a dead plant in it.
The house was much bigger than the apartment but not too big either. When you step in there was the nicely furnished living room and to the left was a small hall with three doors. To the right was another hall with two doors and walking forwards there was a kitchen. In the kitchen there was a small table sitting all the way to the side and a big fridge right next to the back door.
"Okay, umm. Now over there," She pointed to the hall with three doors,"is my room and Kankuros and over here," she pointed at the other hall," is your room and a bathroom. So, yeah..." She walked awkwardly away towards her room after one last look at Gaara.
"Now what?" Gaara asked out loud. He turned to find Sasuke sprawled out on the couch.
He looked at Gaara and shrugged.
"We find the apartment and bring your stuff here."
Gaara laid out on the couch as well and rested.
"Whatever." He responded dully.
Me: (Asleep)
13 : (Wicked grin)
Me: (Asleep)
13 : (Evil laugh)
Me: Huh? (Falls back asleep)
