Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Sand Blossom ❯ An Impatient Mind ( Chapter 5 )

The Kazekage was the strongest Sand shinobi of the Hidden Sand Village. As bearer of this prestigious title, the person overlooked most of all the activities taking place in the Sand Village. The Kazekage's office had a large desk positioned next to the lookout that faced the rest of the village. The furniture had been moved around recently mostly by the Kazekage's choice of scenery, he didn't like it to be crowded with file cabinets and meaningless ornaments.

 

There was also a rather large and comfy chair that Temari liked to take advantage of. Temari was Gaara's older sister, adorned in a purple dress with a skirt that went down to just above her knees. Her hair was a fiery blonde with four pigtails that extended in 4 different directions. She gently snored as she slept in the Kazekage's chair, having been in there all day completing paperwork.

 

“Temari.” A familiar voice called to Temari in her sleep. She immediately sprung up from her sleep and looked around for the person that called her name. She turned the chair around and saw Gaara standing on the balcony.

 

“Oh, hey Gaara. Do you know how late it is?” Temari stretched in the chair and rubbed her eyes awake.

 

Gaara eyeballed her and reminded her of her current position, “Do you know where you are sitting?” Temari inspected her surroundings and noticed that she was sitting in Gaara's chair.

 

“Oops! Heh, um, sorry.” She rubbed the back of her head as she stood up and cleared Gaara's chair for him. It wasn't his intention to sit down any time soon, but he did mind that Temari was sitting there. ((a little possessive))

 

“Temari, I have a quick question to ask you about this Shikamaru person.” Gaara stared bluntly as he held up a snapshot of Shikamaru that Temari usually kept in her room.

 

Temari's jaw dropped down in shock and snatched the picture out of Gaara's hand, “Gaara! What did I tell you about going through my journal?!”

 

Gaara rolled his eyes, “Journal, shmournal, I know it's a diary.”

 

Temari blushed red in embarrassment and furry, but knew not to go against her brother, “Just what do you need to know that made you have to go into my room for this?” She didn't even know it, but she was being a little protective of the picture, if you call sliding the pic into your blouse “protective”.

 

“What kind of feelings do you have for him?” Gaara asked seriously.

 

Temari was about to slip and fall but she held herself up with the desk, “Gaara!” Her face was turning redder by the second, “That's not something you ask me and expect a straight answer for.” She stood up straight and stared down at the floor, twiddling her thumbs. “My feelings for him……”

 

“Simply put, how do you think about him? What makes you want to be with him?” Gaara was getting more personal with each question.

 

“How do I… that is… I just feel different around him. He's so annoying I feel like I should just slap that lazy smirk off his face!” Temari said almost annoyed.

 

“Hrrrr……” Gaara growled under his breath, talking to women, even his own sister made him inpatient.

 

“But…… other than that… I guess, I see through his plain and lazy side.” Temari continued. Gaara's eyes widened, Finally something important! “That's what happens when you're in love. You see through the person's faults and mistakes and you see who they can really be. How sweet they are… and how smart… how hard they work to look out for you and others…”

 

Temari's rambling trailed off as she continued to fantasize about her infatuation. Gaara turned to leave, before she started saying something he would regret hearing, “Alright, Temari. Thank you.” Gaara jumped off the balcony and began riding a wave of sand out of the village.

 

So that's it… Sakura could like me in some way or another. If what Temari says makes sense then… its possible that Sakura is not frightened by me. My cold hearted ness… Hmm… She's the first person who I've ever thought about like this… Gaara shrugged as he rode the sand into the forest and slowed it down to the ground where he started to walk… My head still hurts.

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

Kiraichi: Hope you've liked it so far. Now Gaara is headed… somewhere… don't know if I should tell. Oh well you might find out later tonight. I actually finished this really early. Ha ha! Maybe I'll update soon! Review and criticize! Be back soon!
