Well, I got a lot of people reading the first chapter, and since I already had the second chapter written, I am going to type it. ^^ I didn't think I'd get over 200 readers in one day! That made me very happy ^^ And for some of those who are wonderin' what the title means, don't worry, I'll explain it hopefully soon. In chapter . . . five or six, which ever I'm writing to at the moment, starts to explain a tiny part of it. ^^

Well, thanks for reading! Y'all made me happy! ^^ Woot!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's awesome characters.

Chapter two: Sand Siblings

Four days later, a blond ninja stood next to the three sand siblings; Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara.

Right after Naruto's banishment, the blond had gone straight to his apartment, packed a few belongings such as food, clothing, a blanket, other important items, and four photos. After packing, he quickly departed his home village and settled out on going to the Sand village. He ran all day , through the night, and the next day without stopping. He knew that if he had stopped, he would have broken down crying, so he pushed himself until he got to the village.

When he had got to the village, he had a stone hard face and luckily for him, Garra was by the entrance of his village when he had spotted the familiar blond.

"They banished you? How stupid could they get?" Kankuro yelled as he paced the room.

The three sand ninjas, plus Naruto, were all in the council meeting room. They were all alone, seeing how this was no one else business but theirs. Gaara was sitting in his chair, the one for the Kazekage, with Temari standing off to his left side. Naruto was in the chair next to the two, while Kankuro was still pacing.

Naruto shrugged. "I . . . kind of already saw it coming." His voice wasn't its normal cockiness and full of life, but one full of pain. "I just didn't expect it to happen so soon." He tried not to feel sadness about the dramatic change in his life, but it was rather hard. He would never get to see his friends and village again.

"But, if you expected this, why didn't you do anything about it?" Temari asked, slightly confused.

Again, the blond just shrugged. "What was there I could have done? Tell Tsunade? As if she didn't have enough on her plate as it is. Try to figure it out on my own? Yeah, you've seen where it brought me." He sulked.

Gaara spoke his normal, soft but stern tone. "You could of contacted us. We could have done something."

The feeling of tears threatened to form in Naruto's blue eyes. "No, I couldn't have. You three already have - -"

"You don't get it!" Kankuro stopped his pacing and slammed his hands on the table. Naruto looked at his enraged face. "We respect you, Naruto, after everything you've done. You helped Gaara after the Chunin exam; you know how Gaara feels more than any one else. Was it not for you, we wouldn't be who we are today."

"Naruto, you mean so much to us; we will always be there for you." Temari added much more gently than her brother. She sent him a look that meant to control yourself.

Naruto smiled. "Thanks Kankuro, Temari. At least . . ." He doesn't finish his sentence, but the sand siblings could already guess what he was going to say. The insides of him were calming down a bit, glad that he still had people to look after him and a new place to call home.

Kankuro nodded and his face relaxed from his angered expression. He pushed off the table and stood next to his sister.

It stayed quiet for awhile. No one knew what to say so they acknowledged each others presence by staying quiet. Naruto looked around the room, seeming to relax. Today's events had tired him out; running for hours without stopping to take a break as he ran from his ex-village to the Sand. He let out a breath of air as his memories switched back to the meeting.

Finally, Gaara broke the calm silence and broke Naruto's train of memories, as he spoke, "So now that you have a place to call home, what will you be doing?"

'Yes, what will you be doing, Kit?' Kyuubi purred. So she had been listening to everything that was going on.

Answering both questions, Naruto shrugged. "I was thinking about traveling; meeting new people and reuniting with old. Go training, help people out."

"But you are coming back." It wasn't a question but a statement. Gaara watched as Naruto finally smiled one of his signature grins.

"Of course; I can't stay too far from my home."

Till next time!

Okay, this will be the shortest chapter I ever write. I am very sorry that it is short, but promise that the next chapter will be longer! I swear! Please don't be mad!
