Looking up Lani smiled brightly. "Hey Temari!" She said looking at the tea pot. "How adorable" Reaching out she gently ran her hand over the nose. "Oh nothing I've just been thinking I guess" Looking up the the sky her smile faded. "How's everyone been?"

Looking back over she looked around 'No Kankuro trailing after her...' She thought 'Well I wouldn't expect to see Gaara...' Blushing once she saw him she quickly looked away. 'No!'

Beaming at her brother, she payed the shopkeeper, thanked him, and was off. “Thank you, Gaara!” She said, still smiling, resisting the urge to hug him. He may be her brother, but she knew where to draw the line so he wouldn’t get annoyed. Continuing on her way, she held the teapot to her chest. It was so cute with it’s big eyes, which were surrounded by coal-black cirles. It’s ears were perfectly round, and it’s face shone happily. Of course, that may have been due to the sun shining off it, but it was still really, really cute. Bright red hair caught her eye, and it seemed familiar.

Walking closer, she saw it was who she had thought. “Lani, hi! What’s with the sad face?” She asked, sitting down on the swing next to Lani, hoping Gaara wasn’t annoyed with her. After all, it wasn’t like she could just leave her there, looking all depressing. Maybe my new teapot will cheer her up, I know it would cheer me up if I were her, Temari thought, still smiling.

Sighing I held onto one of the strap's of my bag and walked around. 'I need to find an Inn or something' I thought glancing at the sky. Rounding the cornor I immediatly jumped back seeing Kankuro. 'Crap' Peaking around I waited until he was distracted. 'Can't go that way...guess I'll go to the park'

Ducking into the next street I walked to the park smiling at the memories. 'Time goes by so fast' I thought a little sadly. Dropping my bag I sat down on the swing and stared at the ground.

I smirked and started to do my thing. "Multi shadow clone justsu~!" I yelled. Just like that, thousands of me came out and started to charge towards Sakura. "Heh get ready Sakur-chan! Cause here I come!" All of me said. "Haaaaa!!!!!!"

This reminded me of the time when I was doing my clones to Sasuke and Kakashi in the past. I was always good with this technique. I smiled and just to make sure, some of my other clones hid behind the bushes, just in case.

Trailing after her he followed in silence, at least she's opened the door enough he could slip through without uncrossing his arms. Last time he'd gone somewhere with anyone Kankorou had allowed the door to almost close on him, he'd quickly save himself the humiliation though. Glancing over things while they wandered he peeked into stalls from where he was, noticing that some that watched them walk by sent a smile their way, obviously they were glad he was no longer a threat. Pausing as Temari went over to one of the stalls all he could do was give her an odd look when she picked up an panda teapot of all things.

" That's twelve ryo." hearing the shopkeeper's voice enter the space between them he gave the man a glance, instantly disliking him, his eyes were shifty and he could see greed firmly planted within them. " Nooo, I don't have enough. I only have three ryo." Glancing at his sister questionably he noticed her staring at the ground before looking his way. " Hey, Gaara?" He knew what she was going to ask before she even voiced it. " You don't happen to have nine useless ryo sitting inside your pocket or something?" Sighing quietly he released one of his arms from his chest to reach inside his clothes, pulling out the ryo he held it out to her. " Whatever."

I blushed and nodded. "O-ok." I said with a smile. I started to walk along with Kiba. I felt so strange. I felt my heart beat and then I turned flushed Red. Naruto....Naruto-kun...."Naruto-kun....isn't he here now..." I said to Kiba with a smile. "I missed him, I haven't seen him in a year or two..." I then started to fidget my fingers.

"Wh-what if....He's at the sop.....I don't want him to see me all teared up...." I then started to shake and I felt even more nervous. "Eh....Kiba-kun, what do I do if I see him?" I asked shyly. I knew Kiba would help me. He's a nice guy, and I knew he cared for me.

I then remembered Ms. Tsume's proposal, with me staying at the Inuzukas. I frowned and closed my eyes. "Oh...."

I shook my head slightly at his words. "Promises are made to be broken, you cannot hold yourself accountable for something out of your reach," I spoke softly. I hugged him back in a slowish manner. I was never one to show affection, but I wasn't going to let him bare all the weight on his shoulders. Even though he had promised me, I always held to my heart that he probably wouldn't be able to get him back, and even now I almost didn't want him back, he had almost gotten us killed before, and even though it fathomed me it was true. After I heard what he said next I could only but smile at his remark. I gave him a slightly slow nod at first before I fully let my expression show fully to reveal a quite visible smile. "I've been waiting all day to hear that" I said laughing slightly. I nodded in his direction pulling my black gloves over my hands cracking my fist to get ready. Even though I was ready, I wasn't going to press all my power out, this was only training anyway.

Kiba blinked a few times as the start of tears jumped out of his eyes when he blinked but leaving behind little traces of this. It's alright Hinata I am alright as long as you say you are ok. Kiba told her as he hugged her tight smiling sweetly. At the same time Hana smiled sweetly at them along with Tsume who was now at the door looking down at them. She will be alright just need to eat something. However, I think you will have to go out to eat since mom's food burned down due to this accident. Hana told Kiba completely lying and winking at Kiba who in return blinked confuse not sure what to think of this. In support Tsume lifted them up and pushed them out of the house along with Akamaru with a serious face. Hana is right go get something to eat together I will just take care of the burned food. Please think about my proposition Hinata. Tsume told her smiling sweetly then without waiting for an answer shut the door on them leaving them outside. Smiling Kiba turned to look down at Akamaru and then at Hinata. So shall we go get some Ramen? Kiba asked still smiling at her.

Temari chuckled at her brother’s response to hide her mild surprise. Gaara is changing, she reminded herself, proud of her little brother. It didn’t matter that he was a Kazekage, he would never cease to be her little brother no matter how hard her tried. Exiting the house she pushed open the door a little farther this time so it wouldn't swing shut in Gaara's face, not really knowing where to go, but deciding upon just wandering around the market.

Soon she came upon a stall that held many odd trinkets, and curiously picked up a teapot in the shape of an Panda. Cupid shot his arrow-Temari was in love. She needed this teapot, whether she had to sell her soul for it. “That’s 12 ryo.” The shopkeeper informed her, he had a messy beard and greedy eyes, but Temari didn’t care. She searched through her pockets again and again, but alas it was no use. The Panda teapot stared back up at her, it's black and white face practically begging to be bought and be taken away from the gross shopkeeper. Or, at least, that's how Temari felt. “Nooo, I don’t have enough. I only have 3ryo...” She stared at the ground sadly, then a idea, however unlikely, popped into her head.

“Hey, Gaara?”, she asked sweetly, “You don’t happen to have 9 useless ryos sitting inside your pocket or something?” She fervently hoped with her whole being he did, and was willing to let her borrow it. Oh, please, if there’s any justice in the world let him lend me money!
