Temari had gotten home from the shopping district. She felt her arms waver at the massive amount of weight each item had weigh in the bag. “God even my tessen is not as heavy” As she goes for the door handle she hears noises inside again. She pauses and drops her stuff, pulling out a kunai as she does so. She quickly wraps a small explosive not to the kunai and throws the door open.

“SUPRISE!!!!!” everyone shouts as gaara stands in the background, his arms crossed showing small hint of a smirk. He pulls the kunai out of her hand with his sand and disposes of it outside underneath the soil outside. He watches as everyone rushes to greet temari and wishing her happy birthday. Gaara pulls himself off the wall and heads towards the kitchen to bring out her cake. Its decorated with her tessen fully open and a sand symbol in all corners.

Hinata was hiding upstairs in gaara's old room, she shifted some stuff trying to get her mind off her nervousness. “How can I see her again, after what she did to me too” she had stopped cleaning and began pacing. She had finally made her decision and decided to head back to gaara and her home. She had crawled out of the window and jumped over to the next buildings roof. She paused for a moment and looked back, temari had spotted her leaving and gave a small smirk. This caused her to miss her next step and she fell down four stories.

Gaara had gone upstairs to retrieve hinata when he saw her jump out. He had watched as she was jumping from roof to roof. He was confused as to how the women close to him were acting really strange. He headed after her when he saw her fall. He quickly disappeared into particles of sand, and reappeared under hinata. He caught her with out a slight hint of emotion as she landed in his arms. “daijoubu?” he asked as he looked down on her.

Hinata had been saved and was surprised as to who had caught her. She looked into his blue eyes and blushed deeply as she held him close. She was being taken back to their house and she held him closer. They had arrived at their house and she had been taken back to their bedroom. There gaara had lain her down on the bed and checked her head. “Your ok now, get some rest” With that hinata had fallen asleep.

Temari went upstairs to look for gaara, she had hoped he didn't go after hinata. As she went back up to her room she remembered kankurou's gift and pulled it out of her drawer. She cleared off her bed of presents and sat down. She heard the guests leave and decided to go see them off before she read. They all left one by one smiling and wishing her a happy birthday. She smiled and waved as the last of them left then slowly gathered up her presents and shoved them in her closet. She then piled the trash in the corner of the kitchen and finally headed up to her room to start on the book. She looked at it and realized it was a diary, she decided to read from later in the book, just to see whose diary it was.

~Karura Diary~

It was a sunny day and kazekage-sama had finally taken a day away from work to spend sometime with me and temari. Kankurou was on the way and temari had been anxiously awaiting her new little brother. Temari kept rubbing my stomach and speaking to it. I would only smile and giggle as I tussle her hair. Kazekage-sama had taken us to the park to enjoy a nice picnic. There was when he told me of the shukaku demon, he told me that kankurou would be the host. I told him no and he didn't argue, but he left saying only one thing. “I forgave you and your brother for the adultery you have committed against me, but I have already decided upon having this shukaku host being my son.” When he finished I felt a sudden rush of anger that welled up deep inside me. I wanted so badly to kill him, I wanted so badly to rid me of this curse. She pulled a kunai and was ready to slit her throat. “Mommy, will kankwuoh have blonde hair too” she says as she twists her hair around her finger. I cry as I throw the kunai away, “No baby I don't think he will” I hold her close in my arms as I kiss her head. “Baby I need you to promise me that you'll always protect your brother, no matter what people say about you.” temari smiled up at me and nodded her head. Her smile had always brightened my day, it always reminded me of her dad.

~pause~

Temari had to close the book as tears welled up in her eyes. “Okaa-san...oji-chan...adultery...?” She couldn't believe what she was reading, to think that all she had heard and seen in her mother could be false. Her loving mother who had shown only a caring and expressing smile, had been hiding a darker side to herself. To think that her mother had never wanted to be with her father, that she had committed an adultery with her uncle. “No it cant possible be true” she denied it, all of it. Her mother couldn't possible have done it, but the only way to know the truth was to read on. She flipped it to the few pages at the end.

~Continue diary~

My new baby had started kicking and I couldn't be happier, temari was ecstatic and kankurou was as grumpy as his father. “Why must gaara have all the attention, its not like hes even here yet.” and everything kankurou said something similar temari would chase him with a fan. I was happy, yet I was afraid of the kazekages passed words. The fact that her new baby was gonna be a host of that horrible demon was unbearable. As the day kept going I kept wondering whether or not I should leave. Perhaps I could head to konoha, I heard there was a new blonde hokage. But even if I could, I know I wouldn't be able to take temari and kankurou with me. So now I have to endure everything that horrible man has to make me endure. I held my kids close as I remembered all the memories we shared together. I know that these are the things that keep me going and I know my kids are my life, but to think that he would use that against me. Temari is my most prized possession, because she is not only mine and Yashamaru's child. We created her by accident, but I never regretted it for one second. We had made a beautiful child and not only that she was a wonderful big sister. She was strong and independent and never let any problem get in her way. I had finally gotten out of my slump and decided to get up and take a walk with the kids, but then my water broke and I had gotten very weak. Temari kept asking me what was wrong and kankurou was in the corner panicking, I couldn't help but giggle a little. The kazekages gaurds soon took me to the hospital where they took me to a room and waited for me to dilate, when I did the kazekage came in with an urn. I had blacked out from all the stress and dizziness I felt. When I awoke I had felt tremendous pain as sand was welling up inside me, I could feel something evil building within my womb. As the tears welled up into my eyes, my anger burst out as I cursed the very person who had helped me give birth to this wonderful child. “As long as this child lives he shall inherit my hate for you, his name is gaara for he will truly live and love only himself.” It has been several hours since then, I fear this is my last moments. I only wish to see my children grow and love each other as Yashamaru and I had loved each other.

“Why” temari screamed, “why would kankurou ever show me this?” she threw the book across the room. She covered her face into her knees and tried to hide her tears. As she sat there in her dark room she couldn't help but wonder if what she read had been true, could she be the child of her uncle and her mother? She laid there looking out at the moon, she really liked looking at the moon it was so peaceful. She then realized it was a full moon and remembered how gaara would spend countless full moons alone. She had always like watching him on his rampage on the full moonlit nights. She decided to head out to his favorite spot when the moon came out, the full moon was always when he couldn't control shukaku. She had always been the protective of her brothers and had cared deeply that gaara was all alone during his toughest times, so she had followed him on these nights.

Gaara had been restless again tonight, he left his wife in bed covered only by a blanket. She had a cute expression on her face, and was blushing a beet red. He jumped from his window to his roof and continued onwards to the back of the village. When he arrived to his spot he had seen temari sitting there alone, staring up at the moon. Her shadow casted a deep blackness, her clothes rippling with the wind. He watched her as she pulled her fan from her back and plunged it into the ground.

Temari had been enjoying the moonlight as she heard a rustle in the trees behind her. She quickly opened her fan, a gust of wind was blown as the branches and leave were cut by her wind. A surge of sand quickly grabbed her hand before she could make another attack. “G-gomen gaara-kun...” she was speechless, she was so reckless she could've hurt her brother. She diverted her eyes from gaara as she asked him “what are you doing here” He simply answered “this is my favorite spot to go on nights like this” She turned back around and look back up at the moon. “I know” she mumbled as she placed her fan on her back once more. “well I gotta get back and clean, thanks for everything gaara-kun” She left him standing there, she looked back to see him watching her as the sand swirled around him and returned to his guard. She returned to her room and had lain on her bed smiling, she smiled at the fact that he still went there and maybe someday she would meet him there again. She dozed off to sleep dreaming of that chance.
