Behind Her Smiles
A/N- Here is chapter sixteen for you. Thank you to my beta reader named Scarlette Shizuru for beta reading this chapter for me. Thanks again. The twins have sometimes trouble on saying R.
Chapter Sixteen: First Night and First Day
Kankuro unlocked the door and pushed it open, prompting the twins to observe the door behind him. Unlike the usual houses they've seen, the twins found themselves mesmerized with a cosy living room and huge flat screen TV placed against the wall. A small cabinet beneath the TV with a small collection of DVDs and VCDs held up several photographs with a DVD player in the middle. The twins walked into the house warily when a red head came into the doorway.
Kankuro and Temari came into the way and placed down all the bags and looked back up.
"Hello, Gaara," Temari smiled at him, gently nudging the kids to go closer.
"Hn, who are the kids," He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Auntie, is this another uncle?" Ryuu twitched distrustfully at the red haired male; he had enough weird introductions tonight.
Gaara looked at the little boy and then to his sister, causing the two to seek protection from the other two siblings. His eyes narrowed in analysis before letting out a sigh when he noticed his brother mouthing the word "later" to him.
"Hai, this is my younger brother named Gaara," Temari stepped aside to give Taytai a better look of her younger brother.
Taytai looked up at him and walked over to him. At first, she stared queerly at him and started circling around him for a few moments. Soon enough, she stretched arms up into the air and pouted.
"Uncle, up!"
Gaara's eyes widened upon noticing her tiny pout and Gaara found himself completely powerless against it. He gently picked her up and held her at his side. Taytai felt safe again, as she laid her head on his shoulder yawning. Then her stomach growled as it was hungry.
"Hungry?" Gaara chuckled lightly, ruffling her hair a bit.
She nodded her head and stayed where she was.
"Okay, Kankuro, take the bags upstairs. I will make…Taytai, Ryuu would you like some KD?" Temari ordered and the asked the twins.
They eyes lit up and nodded their heads. Temari went into the kitchen leaving Gaara to watch over the twins. Gaara felt renewed with the little girl within his arms. When he looked at the boy, he bent down and he opened his second arm. Ryuu looked at him with distrust.
Gaara saw the look and growl inside his head as he wondered why he was this. He noticed him looked at his sister then made his decision. He walked into Gaara's arm and was also picked up.
Twenty minutes later, he heard Temari calling for them. He had placed the twins down and took their hands and helps them wash them. Then he went into the kitchen and saw Temari setting the table and Kankuro walking into the kitchen after them.
"Taytai, Ryuu where would you like to sit?" Temari asked as she showed them the table while Kankuro had their booster seats.
"I want to sit by Auntie Temari and Uncle Gaawa." Taytai answered then looked at them.
Temari had gotten into her seat and Taytai jumped into the seat beside her and then Gaara sat down with Ryuu on his other side with Kankuro sitting down beside Ryuu and Temari.
"How many scoops would you like, Taytai," Gaara smiled at the elder sibling as she grinned.
"Two please," her eyes widened with satisfaction as she watched Gaara placing in two scoops.
"Ryuu?" Gaara took Ryuu's bowl, scooping up a bit.
"Two, please and thank you." Ryuu replied.
Gaara had placed once again two scoops in and then took Temari's bowl and asked her too. Temari had a single scoop in her bowl as he slid it over before he grabbed Kankuro's and asked. Kankuro had told him two scoops too. Now it was his turn and he placed the rest into her bowl as there were only two scoops left.
They ate as they talked for a moment with Taytai doing most of the chattering. Gaara snickered quietly in amusement as the little girl easily adjusted to the environment but the little boy quietly began feeding himself while watching him from afar. He raised his eyebrow at his brother who gave him a nonchalant shrug in return.
"So after dinner it time for a bath and then bed." Temari commanded to the twins.
"Hai!" The twins chewed up their supper.
"Uncle Gaara?" Taytai blinked curiously at the red haired male.
"Hai, Taytai," he glanced at the small girl.
"What do you do for fun?" Taytai leaned on her table to get closer.
"I like to build and fix cars." Gaara blinked several times at the question of the little girl until Taytai's eyes literally widened to the size of golf balls. "Ryuu, did you hear this? Uncle can work on cars even fire trucks!"
Gaara had the feeling Ryuu like fire trucks. He was right when he saw the little boy's eyes lit up like Christmas lights.
"Uncle Kankuro, what do you like?" Ryuu glanced at the other male.
"I like building furniture."
They then talked about nothing really important as the phone ringed. Temari got it and answered. She came back and sighed.
"Okay, the daycare's closed until they can fix the windows and the gate. So Kankuro or Gaara needs to stay home with the twins or bring them to college with rules," Temari sighed as she sat down on the table. "So, what are you guys more contented with?"
"Bringing them to college doesn't sound like a bad idea," Kankuro grinned before ruffling the younger boy's head. "Gonna teach him big boy stuff."
Temari rolled her eyes before letting out a slight chuckle. "I think Gaara should stay with the kids."
Earning an "awww" from the older brother while the red haired younger sibling smirked, the two brothers then nodded before gathering dining utensils and cleaned up the table.
"Okay, Ryuu what uncle would you like to help you in the bath tub?" Temari gestured to the two Uncles who started fixing up and placing some of the dinnerware back.
Ryuu looked at both uncles for a few seconds and before leaping at Gaara for a quick tackle. The red haired male nearly dropped the bowls but found the kitchen counter to lean on when he stared in surprise at the smaller boy who seemed to distrust him a few moments ago.
"I guess me," Gaara smiled before taking Ryuu's hand and leading him to the bathroom.
Temari had then taken up Taytai into her room to have her bath.
….Boys…..
Gaara filled the bath and asked what kind of bubble he would like.
"None, tonight uncle," Ryuu undressed himself with no help.
He had help getting into the tub as the little boy started splashing a lot. Gaara decided to ditch his shirt in case he found himself completely soaked after giving the boy a bath. Much to his surprise, Ryuu seemed a little more sedate as his eyes started wondering to the window.
"Uncle, where is mommy," Ryuu cast a crestfallen look into the soapy water. "I miss her."
Gaara froze a bit before ruffling the boy's hair in reassurance. "You will see her soon." His answer was enough for him.
"Ryuu, do you know where you lived before here," Gaara started running the shampoo through the little boy's hair.
"Mom said Los Angeles. We moved because some man came into your house and tried to hurt mommy," Ryuu hugged his tiny body in his arms, shivering as he recalled every moment.
Gaara felt his heart breaking when he heard this sad story. He knew this was bad. He got a towel and gently picks Ryuu up and cradled him against his body as he whispered that he will protected his sister and his mother and him. Ryuu whimpered softly while trying to keep his hold on Gaara's neck. The red head found himself completely appalled; what kind of idiot would hound kids all over the country side? Gaara helped Ryuu dry up as he gave him his night wear and tucked the little boy into the bed.
He clicked open the night light before ruffling the little boy's hair. "Uncle has some homework to do there is a door on the other side if you need me"
"I got it uncle." Ryuu tiredly closed his eyes.
…..Temari, Kankuro ….
Gaara stepped into the room to see Kankuro reading his book and the Temari walked into the room.
"Okay, Temari tell us why the twins are here?" Kankuro asked.
Both of her brothers were with the gang but had to not say anything at college that they went too it was against it rules.
Temari stated the full story that she stopped until tonight.
"I followed them to get them to tell us more. When two large men attacked the daycare that they work at, I immediately began making my way there. But the moment I got there, I saw Sakura fighting them and was winning until they threw her thought the window. She was badly hurt and they were going to take her. I stepped in and fought them until they left then we heard sirens. She is living with Tsunade who is the owner of the college that I go too. She trusted me to take care of them," Temari bit her lower lip anxiously. "Try to gain her trust slowly. She's not too keen on the idea of having all the Reds involved."
Gaara had his questions answered, but one." Temari who was Sakura….?" He didn't know how to put it.
"Sai. He made her his mate, breeder and wife." Temari growled in disgust. "So the gang cannot know about the twins staying at our house. Sakura trusts me not to get them involved."
"After what her life was like and hear with us, we won't tell them." Kankuro beat his chest with reassurance while Gaara nodded assuredly.
Knock Knock
"Come in," Temari placed her book down only to see a distressed Taytai, rushing over to her. "Taytai what happened?"
"Auntie… I," she shamefacedly hung her head. "I... wet... the bed."
Temari smiled at her. "Taytai, shhh it's ok." She took her back into her room and got new sheets out and new nightwear.
She helped Taytai out of it and got a second bath ready. She washed herself clean again and helped Temari to make the bed.
"Taytai, did you get scared without a light on?" Temari asked.
Taytai nodded her head as her pink hair followed her. Temari smiled at this and remember that she brought a night light just in case of this. She took it out and placed it onto the wall and then walked out and back into the room.
One hour later the group was done with homework and then went back into their rooms.
…..Morning….
The twins woke up and got dress then they played with their toys waiting for auntie or uncle to wake up.
…..…Gaara….
Light green eyes opened up to see sunlight shining into the room. He sat up and turned to see the space missing. He got up and heard a small car sounds; he looked around his bed to see Ryuu quietly playing with his toy.
"Morning Ryuu." Gaara dressed himself up before letting out a bit of a yawn.
"Morning Uncle." Ryuu said as his black hair moved into his eyes his hand went to it and moved it back.
"Hungry, little man?" Gaara pointed to the kitchen.
Ryuu nodded his head at him, following after the red haired male.
….Taytai….
She heard her stomach growl for food. She smiled a bit before pouncing on Temari. With no warning, Temari screamed a bit as she opened her eyes to see Taytai looking sorry to her.
"Sorry, auntie but I'm hungry." She slumped onto the bed and staring at her with her big eyes.
She just nodded her head and gently placed her to the side and got up. Temari took out an outfit to wear as she got dressed and did her hair. She opened her arms for Taytai as she jumped into them.
She carried her out of her room and then down the stairs and into the kitchen. She placed Taytai in her chair from last night as she heard Kankuro and Gaara coming in with Ryuu.
"So what one will stay home or take the twins to college." Temari questioned them.
"I'll stay home first." Kankuro said.
"My turn tomorrow at work…" Gaara trailed off.
She heard him and hopes it would go good tomorrow. She got the twins a bowl of lucky charms must with Kankuro displeased look.
Then Gaara and Temari took the car to college and work. Gaara brought off Temari first and then drove himself to work that was farther anyway.
"Temari, have you told the more reds?" Natari asked as soon as Gaara went away.
"Only my brothers. I will not tell the rest." Temari told her.
Natari looked at her then nodded her head at Temari. Samiko just glared at her. "Don't get anyone else involved. Oh and where are the twins?"
"Kankuro is looking after them." Temari answered as she looked at them.
Temari moved away from them as the gang appeared in her sights. She made her way over to them and waited for the bell to ring.
The first day was soon gone as Kankuro had told her how the twin's day was and any kind of trouble. She took over watching them as Kankuro had to go on online to see if someone took notes, so he can get some homework done. Temari took out some food and got a stool of each twin. They washed the lettuce by hand. Helped with the other fruits and vegetables that needed to be washed and then took one plate towards the table and then they were done.
Taytai and Ryuu inched away from Temari and went into the living room to see two cars stopping.
"Auntie someone is coming." Taytai shivered fearfully before running towards Temari.
Temari quickly went into the room and saw it was Sasuke. "Let's play a game, I'm it. You go and hide upstairs until I get you."
They smiled and nodded their heads and raced up the steps and into a room together.
Temari smiled at them and then opened the door. "Sasuke."
"Do you know anything about Sakura or Natari or Samiko?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "What's with all the food?"
"No, not yet." Temari gestured to the food behind her. "Oh you know boys, they eat like anything after a long day's work."
"Okay, I guess it is a family night." Sasuke nodded, seemingly buying Temari's statement. "See you tomorrow."
Sasuke left the door as Temari closing it as she sighed. She went to the window and watched the two cars disappearing from her sight. Then she made her way up the stairs.
"I wondered where they could be?" Temari mused to herself before walking into her room and saw two bundles on her bed hiding.
She made her way to it and sat down. "Well I guess there not in here. Man I need to get a new bed with all the lumps in them. Oh ya Kankuro said to get rid of them was to hit them out." She gently hit at the lumps as she heard giggles. She pulled back her blanket and smiled at them.
"I'm home!"
Taytai looked at Ryuu before both children began racing down the stairs. "Uncle Gaara!"
Gaara soon found them tripping over each other's foot before rushing over to get them to prevent them from kissing the floor but allowed himself a helpless smile. "Ryuu, Taytai are you okay?"
They nodded their head at him. "Be careful coming down the stairs." He told them as he placed them on the ground.
Temari walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Dinner!"
Kankuro was just coming down the stairs. They walked into the room and sat down as Temari brought over two dishes. One was a salad while the next ones were chicken strips. She placed the chicken strips onto the side then the salad.
The group talked about their day and ate the whole supper as they cleaned the table and then went into the living room as they sat down and watched cartoons for the twin's as they slowly falling asleep. Gaara took Ryuu while Temari took Taytai up to their rooms.
