"I hear they put you in charge." Gaara leaned back in his chair. "Well done, Kankuro."

"Don't patronise me, brat."

"Aw but you're the last of us to be put in charge of anything." Temari perched on the desk. "So how does it feel to be pulling the strings?"

"I am blown away by how bad that was." Gaara snorted.

"You two are the worst."

"Relax we're just winding you up." Temari smiled. "We're actually insandly proud."

"Noooooo stop it."

"But I'm enjoying this." Gaara smiled. "Your forever telling me to loosen a few gears."

"That doesn't even make sense." Kankuro pointed out. "Why would you loosen - Oh never mind."

"Problem?" Temari asked. "Cat got your tongue?"

"I don't have to put up with this!"

Gaara watched as the door swung shut behind Kankuro. "Yeah, I wasn't a fan either." He caught Temari's glare. "That one was an accident!"

I was looking forward to this, it was going to be Kankuro's moment to shine, and bam, (bad) puns. Goddamn it.

Though seriously, Madara + Kamui = Dead Sakura and Obito.
