Chapter 2: Gangnam Style!

After twenty minutes of waiting and puppeteer bashing, there was a knock on the door, signaling that the deliveryman from Miyure's was here with the food.

"Temari, you get the door. Kankuro is unconscious right now and you know how much it's going to be a hassle if Gaara or I answer." said Izuka, who was helping Gaara take said unconscious puppeteer towards the living room couch.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Gaara said.

"Well you did give him the knockout kick to the head." returned Izuka telepathically. (Note: Since Gaara used to be Shukaku's jinchuriki and Izuka now has him sealed within her, thanks to Shukaku, Izuka and Gaara have a telepathic link with each other, which they use to have secret conversations with each other.(Don't think negative!))

"Seriously?" Gaara telepathically said. "You were listening in again?"

"Hey, I didn't listen in. You said that last question way too loud in your head. Besides, I can't turn it off and you can't either. We're stuck listening to each other's thoughts for the rest of our lives. So deal with it." Izuka retorted.

"Oh joy." Gaara sarcastically returned back.

As the mental conversation between the young Sage and Kazekage continued, Temari grabbed her purse and headed straight for the front door. She opened the door to see a tall, lanky boy of about eighteen years of age. He was wearing glasses and with the many pimples of his face, he looked like he was going through a very bad case of late-age acne.

"Lady Temari, here's your order. It's going to cost you 35 yen." said acne-boy, whose nametag indicated that his name has Hiou.

"35, but our usual always costs 25 yen." Temari exclaimed.

"Not this week, we had to raise our prices to compensate the price for our last shipment of fresh chickens." said Hiou.

"Really? Okay then, but you're getting a smaller tip." Temari said as she handed Hiou the payment.

"Aw man." said Hiou as he walked off the Sand Sibs porch with the money.

Temari closed the door, and with food in hand, waked back to the kitchen. She found Gaara and Izuka sitting across each other at the table, apparently having an intense stare down.

"What are you guys doing?" Temari asked the two.

"Silent discussion." they exclaimed.

"Well, where's Kankuro?" Temari asked.

"Knocked out on the couch." said Izuka as she continued to stare down Gaara.

"Well, you two start waking him up while I go prepare the food." said Temari.

"Huh, might as well." Gaara pointed out and got out of his chair. Izuka did the same and got out of her chair. They walked towards the couch, where they found Kankuro still knocked out, but this time he was holding his pillow like a teddy bear.

"So, how do we wake him up?" Gaara asked.

"I don't know, shock him awake?" Izuka replied.

"Remember the last time you shocked him awake. " Gaara said back.

"I only gave him a little shock. Besides, I didn't know he would jump so high that he would hit his head on the ceiling fan." Izuka replied back.

"Looking back, it was kind of funny." Gaara smirked at the memory.

"You just love seeing your brother in comedic pain, don't you." the young Sage asked.

"Yes." replied the Kazekage. "Don't you?"

"Indeed."

"GAARA, IZUKA, KANKURO, FOOD'S READY!" screamed Temari from the kitchen.

"Foooooooood!"Kankuro said as he work up like he was waking from the dead in search of brains. He then leapt from the couch and ran towards the kitchen. Gaara and Izuka followed after him at a slower pace.

"Well, that was easy." Gaara said as Izuka nodded her head in agreement.

At the dinner table


"So, how was work, guys?" Temari asked as she took a sip of her miso soup. She still preferred Kenchin soup, but miso was a close second on her favorite foods list.

"It was great. I finally upgraded all of Salamander's weapons today and tomorrow, I'm going to start on Crow." replied Kankuro as he practically inhaled his chicken ramen.

"Business as usual." said Izuka in between bites of her shrimp dumplings. "Complaining parents this, whiny students that, stressed out teachers whatever. It was that kind of day."

"Well, that's what you get when your best friend decides to make you the head of Suna Ninja Academy." replied Temari sarcastically.

"Yeah, thanks best friend." Izuka replied in Gaara's direction, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"You're welcome." replied Gaara, not really hearing the sarcasm in Izuka's words.

Temari just shrugged. "What about you Gaara? How was your day?"

Gaara stared blankly at his sister. "It was a magical time. I actually enjoyed doing tons of paperwork, listening to complaining villagers, and being bombarded with question from the council members."

Kankuro laughed at Temari's confused expression. "Okay, then." replied Temari.

Kankuro soon settled down and the room fell silent. After a few more minutes of eating, everyone was finished.

"OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!" screamed Kankuro at the top of his lungs.

The scream took everyone by surprise. Gaara's eyes widened in shock, Izuka dropped her plate and it landed on the floor with a painful thud, and Temari jumped out of her chair and landed on the floor on her butt.

At the sight of his sister on the floor, Kankuro broke out into hysteric laughter.

"Kankuro, what the heck was that for?!" Izuka shouted at the puppeteer as she bent down to retrieve her plate.

"The room was so quiet, so I decided to scream out something totally random to see what kind of reaction I would get." explained Kankuro.

"Kankuro, that was not funny." Gaara said to his idiotic brother. "Besides, out of all the things you could have said out loud, you had to say "Gangnam Style"?"

"What, I like the song and the video that went with it." explained Kankuro.

"Why?" asked Temari "I get the lyrics are fun and Korean and all, but the video? Really?"

"What? I really like the video." said Kankuro.

"I bet he only likes the video because of the scene where PSY screams at that woman's butt while at yoga class." explained Izuka.

Kankuro blushed red at that last remark.

"Izuka, I think your right." said Temari while observing Kankuro's red face.

"Well, we all saw the video." said Kankuro, trying to change the subject. "What was your favorite scene from the video?"

"Well," Izuka began. "My favorite part of the video was when PSY was doing the horseback rider while two joggers were walking in sync backwards away from him."

"Oh yeah, that's a good one, Izuka." Temari said "Mine was the little boy dancing in front of PSY in the beginning of the video. What about you Gaara? What was your favorite scene?"

"The dance battle between PSY and the guy in the yellow suit is my favorite. Hands down." Gaara said with a tad bit of enthusiasm in his voice.

"Ha! That guy looked like a walking banana with Lee's haircut." Izuka exclaimed.

Everyone laughed at the thought. Well, mostly everyone, Gaara chuckled while everyone laughed their heads off.

Temari wiped a tear from her eye and said. "I know, right. But, you know what the most ridiculous scene from the video is. The one in the elevator with PSY rapping on the floor while a guy is pelvic-thrusting right on top of him."

Everyone shuddered at the thought.

"That scene was kind of creepy." replied Gaara.

"I agree. When a guy does that with a happy face, it's kind of scary." added Izuka.

"All in all, it was a good video." said Kankuro. "No wonder it has the most likes on Youtube."

"Okay, enough of PSY for one night. Who wants to wash the dishes?" asked Temari.

Everyone else got out of the room, none of them wanting to do the chore.

"Looks like it's going to be me." said Temari in defeat. She collected all the dishes from the table and went towards the sink. As she started washing the first dish, Temari started to hum a tune, and started to sing some lyrics. And I bet you can guess what she started to sing.

"Oppa Gangnam Style"
