Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ It Wasn't Supposed To Happen ❯ The Plan & Some Thoughts ( Chapter 2 )

"Betrayal," Kankurou said, stepping towards her.

Temari was confused by this simple statement. "Betrayal?"

"You are to take the Indeavior's Stone from the man you are to protect. Kill the man. You must also kill your companion so the Konoha village will not know what you've taken; furthermore we will inform them the mission was a success but their genin died in battle," Gaara stated.

Kankurou moved over towards the sleeping girl taking out karasu and setting it down next to her as Temari slowly took in this information for wha she was supposed to do on this new task at hand.

He spoke, grinning evilly, "We could murder the girl now though..."

Temari turned her head towards him. Realizing the situation, she had the sudden urge to protect Tenten. It was as if she had to, like it was her duty. Quickly she rushed in front of the younger girl holding out her fan in defensive mode.

She growled out, "Don't touch her, asshole!" Noticing her strange actions she added, "I'll do it myself. I want it to be nice and painful for her."

Kankurou mumbled something about how he didn't get to kill someone that night and returned at his place beside Gaara. Temari set her fan down and looked at her younger siblings.

Before Temari could ask any questions about this task, Gaara and Kankurou left saying they would be back with more information the next night. She sat down and contemplated on whether or not she should carry out this new mission. She had to; no choice in not being able to.

It was an order; just like the one when her team helped Orochimaru to destroy Konoha from the inside out with Gaara, and when later that had failed they were sent to help Konoha defeat Orochimaru's Sound Five. She recalled the battle between her and Tayuya, the foul-mouthed jounin who used a flute for illusion techniques.

Because of those events she was forced to hurt Tenten when she never really wanted to and wasn't able to become the chuunin she had worked so hard for. It was that damn mission! She never really liked war, which is why she quesioned Baki about why they were attacking Konha when they had worked so hard for the peace treaty they had with them; both times.

Temari looked at the younger girl still in thought. Why did she want to protect her? She started to get a warm fuzzy feeling at the pit of her stomach. Why was this happening? She reached out her hand and burshed the hair dangling in front of Tenten's face away as it was seemingly annoying to her while she was asleep.

The older girl knew she liked girls ever seen she was little. She was different just like her brothers. Gaara, who has a monster's soul in him; Kankurou with his puppets in which she seems to call as dolls; and of course her, the one who is attracted to girls. She didn't despise the fact that she did. There were a few girlfriends here and there in Sand but they weren't really all that great.

However, she could not be able to feel for this beautiful girl considering the circumstances. It would be bad for what she had to do. She couldn't let this happen, yet part of her told her she should and to make the best of it.

The mentioned sleeping girl stirred in her sleep and Temari's hand shot back to herself and she gazed elsewhere like nothing had ever happened. Tenten sat up and rubbed her eyes lazily.

"I heard voices...who were you talking to?" Tenten yawned and raised an eyebrow. "Well?"

"I was talking to myself. You do not need to worry about anything." Temari said quickly at first. "Sorry for disturbing you with my loud voice, I didn't mean to. Go back to sleep." She smiled softly.

Tenten looked at her suspisciously but decided not to further question her about it. Temari, to her, was acting quite strange apart from earlier. Was this another side to her she never got to see? She shrugged it off lying back down still quite tired and fell asleep.


Morning came; the sun was barely peeking over the horizon or what you could see of it, lighting up what it could for the time being before it had fully risen. One of the two genins were up about.

Tenten was sitting at the river filling her canteen of some newly aquired water. She gazed back at Temari who was still asleep, pondering on who she may have been speaking to last night. It certainly wasn't only her because each one was different. The voices seemed familiar but she just couldn't place who they belonged to.

Then she remembered someone touching her face slightly, moving the hair away. The touch was gentle, harmless, and seemingly like a loving gesture. Like one a lover would do when their partner was alseep. Or maybe she was just dreaming that part that felt so real? She pushed this memory or whatever it was in the back of her mind. She would think upon it later.

Tenten then began getting an idea forming in her mind when she realized how cold the water is. She grinned mischievously tiptoeing over to the blonde. Perhaps she should wake her up right now... She raised the canteen over the sleeping form and cold water slowly poured out from above, dripping all over the older girl's face.

Temari jumped up from her once postition acting as if it were some alarm of warning. "Shit!" She cursed loudly.

After wiping the water off with her forehead protector cloth she heard giggling and looked down to see Tenten rolling on the ground trying to control her laughter which she was failing miserably at. She murderously glared at the brunette and grabbed her fan.

With a quick swipe and realesing chakra embedded in it, a whirlwind was sent and blew Tenten into the river with a loud splash and water spurting everywhere. Thankfully, she made it so it was not very harmful for her companion.

This time it was Temari's turn to laugh. "You deserved that!"

Tenten arised from the water taking a quick breath. Before she could retort to the blonde's actions, a kunai shot in front of her, barely scratching her cheek. Both girls looked up to see a cloaked figure staring straight down on them from atop a nearby tree.

The unknown person spoke in a dead pan voice, "Hello ladies..."
