Chapter 9

Tears streamed unrelentingly down the rosette's cheeks. She cried, and trembled with such intensity that Shia feared she may pass out. The Akito Clan heiress felt her insides churn angrily in the thought of what Sasuke had done. He walked away, but not just that, he walked away from the girl who truly loved him. It hurt the blue eyed girl to see her friend in such hysterics.
"I c-couldn't stop him…. just left. I tried everything….I-I cried, and I told him how much I loved him. I told him how much we all loved him. I offered him everything in my heart and soul to keep him here, but he just walked away," she cried out in heart wrenching sorrow. Shia hugged her friend, desperately trying to calm her down. She was used to Sakura's sparkling green eyes and bubbling personality. This…person…this stranger that Sasuke had turned her pink haired friend into truly scared the brunette girl.
"It's not your fault Sakura. Please stop crying," she said, cooing at the girl, rocking her back and forth to try and stop the tears.
"He…he left me unconscious on the bench by the village gates. When I woke up….I…oh Shia-chan!" the pink haired girl cried out, latching to her friend as if she were the last thing tying her to this life.
"I loved him so much. I would have done anything, given him any thing if he would just stay with me. I…I even offered to go with him…...why?" she cried.
Shia stayed quiet, coaxing her friend to breath. 'Sasuke…you baka! You've given up so much…and for what? Revenge? Is revenge worth all of this? This girl was willing to become a missing-nin for you, and you leave her on a bench alone in the middle of the night? You are going down a dangerous path Uchiha Sasuke…I hope you know what you've done…' the young medic thought to herself.
Sunagakure Diner
"Where is this troublesome waitress so I can order some food?" Shikamaru complained annoyingly. Temari just glared viciously from across the table. It was a look that could make even the most stoic man shiver in his shoes, but it seemingly had no affect on the Nara whatsoever.
"I swear if you say the word troublesome one more time, I'm going to kill you," Temari said in a low, dark tone. The younger ninja smirked at her, placing his hands behind his head. He sent her a level, cool look from his lazy brown eyes.
"You wouldn't want to start a war now Temari-san…wouldn't that just be so…."
"Don't do it.."
"Trou…"
"I'm telling you Nara, don't do it!"
"ble.."
"I swear to Kami-sama you'll pay.."
"some…"
"BAKA!" THWAK!
Haruno Residence
"There, that feels better right?" Shia said after her friend took a sip of fresh, hot tea. Sakura nodded, wiping her eyes, and smiling weakly. It never made it to those once shimmering, joyful jade eyes.
"I'm sorry Shia-chan. You must think I'm so weak. I'm just sitting here crying about his defection. Just sitting around sobbing instead of fighting for him like Naruto or Lee-san," she said, looking depressed. Shia shook her head.
"It's okay to cry Sakura. Someone very important to you has left, but you haven't lost him yet. Just the fact that he had the decency to pick you up off the floor, and lay you on the bench shows that he cares about you. Even if only a little, it is hope. You are a strong girl to be able to survive this," she said, smiling warmly at her friend. Sakura looked up at her with vulnerable green eyes.
"I just wish…I could have stopped him," she said distantly. Shia placed her hand over her friend's trembling one.
"Don't worry about it Sakura…What's done is done...I'm sure that everything will turn out just fine," she said, truly believing that fact. In her mind it was the truth. If they retrieved Sasuke, then he could be punished accordingly, and Sakura would have him back in her life. If they failed, then it was never meant to be. Eventually, Sakura's love would fade, maybe not disappear, but perhaps she'd find someone who would treat her well.
"Thank you Shia-chan. Oh!" Sakura exclaimed looking at her watch, "it looks about time for you to hit the road."
"Hai, it is about time. Well it was nice seeing you Sakura-chan. I will write to you while I'm in Suna," the brunette said, rising and hugging her friend. They both walked to the door.
"Thank you, I'd like that. You should probably go, your grandmother is probably waiting at the gates for you," Sakura said, smiling. Shia sighed.
"Hai, and we all know how she doesn't tolerate lateness. Besides, I wanted to say goodbye to Naruto-kun before I left," she said. The rosette just nodded and opened the door to show Shia out.
"See ya when you get back," she said, standing in the doorframe as her friend walked out.
"Yeah, and….be strong Sakura…things will get better," Shia said, waving her final goodbye and walking off in the direction of Ichiraku Ramen.
Sunagakure Market Place
"Troublesome woman, you didn't have to knock the brains out of my head. I think you may have bruised my skull," the Nara complained, holding some ice on his head where Temari had bludgeoned him with her fan.
"You deserved it. Sometimes I wonder if there really are any brains in that pineapple head of yours," she answered hotly. He could feel the anger radiating off of her as the walked.
"Maa…of course there are brains in my head you bothersome female…I am not called a genius for nothing eh?" he said. She just growled and started stomping even more fiercely. He kind of felt bad for the sand.
"Genius…tch!" he heard her snap.
Did it really bother her that much when he said things were troublesome? Was it really his fault that the majority of things were? Including her…especially her. The way she always managed to get him with that damned fan. How she berated him in public as loudly as she could. The way she always argued her point no matter how wrong it may be. That cute little pout she got when she was sore for losing. 'Hold it right there Nara…erase that last thought,' he scolded himself. He was knocked out of his thoughts when he crashed into the angered sand nin's back. She spun harshly around to stare down at him.
"You're really testing me Nara.." she said in a dangerous tone. Her green/blue eyes glittered dangerously, but were beautiful in a way that only men who'd died at the hands of the mythic Greek witch Circe could possibly understand.
She was a pretty girl, there was no use denying it...that would be too troublesome. Nara Shikamaru was a genius; he could see beauty no matter how lazy he was. It's just the fact that she was Temari…the most troublesome woman he'd ever met..that made him dread seeing her at times. She was glaring at him angrily as he sat in the dirt thinking. He just stared lazily up at her from the ground. Slowly he got up, and patted the dust off his bottom. Honestly, he did enjoy their playful banter..when it was still playful banter. The blond daughter of the late Kazekage had an explosive, and unpredictable temper. Most of their 'playful banter' ended up in pain…for him.
"I didn't even do anything," he said, casting an uncaring look her way. Her eyes flashed at him frighteningly.
"You never stop complaining. Troublesome village, troublesome waitress…troublesome woman! Nothing's good enough for you!" she shouted, causing people to turn and stare. Her menacing glare, and agitated body language had some people seeking cover, but the Nara seemed to enjoy riling up the second most dangerous of the Sand Siblings.
"Tch…it's not even like that. There you go again. You troublesome women talk to a guy once and make up your mind about them immediately. This is why I will never marry…women just jump to conclusions without even bothering to affirm the truth," he said, with a slight hint of irritation in his normally uncaring voice. Temari's expression switched from angry to shocked within seconds.
"You know, this is too troublesome…I revoke everything that I just said. I just don't care enough to start an argument. Just take me to wherever I'm staying," he said, starting to walk away.
Temari walked in stunned silence, leading her ward to his hotel room.
Ichiraku Ramen
"SHIA-CHAN!" she heard a loud, piercing voice scream. Then came the crushing hug of doom! She swore she felt her ribcage crack.
"Konnichiwa Naruto-kun," she said friendly. He gave her one last bone crushing squeeze, and let go in favor of eating his hot ramen.
"Kon-mmf-ichiwa!" he answered with a mouth full of ramen. Shia laughed.
"I just came to say goodbye. I'll be back in three weeks," she said. His sky blue eyes rose to her face.
"Mmf…nani?" he asked.
"I have to finish my mission," the medic replied. Naruto smiled.
"Do your best Shia-chan!" he encouraged. The brunette girl rose and smiled at him.
"I'll be seeing you Uzumaki Naruto," she said, waving and walking away.
"Goodbye!" she heard him call after her. The young medic walked to Konohagakure's gates, and sure enough, her grandmother was waiting there for her along with her carriage.
"Come on Shia, we're going to be late!" the old woman snapped. Shia nodded, and rushed forward.
"Hai Baasan," she mumbled, getting into the carriage. The gate guards closed the carriage door and let the horses take off. The two females sat in silence for some time.
"Shia, I understand that you are staying at the residence of your patient?" the brunette heard her grandmother's voice ask.
"Hai, Baasan," she answered.
"I will be staying at the hotel. Every morning after you've visited your patient, you are to report to the training fields. I will give you an hour for lunch, and whatever mission related things you must take care of. We will train after your lunch hour until the sun sets, after an hour or so of studying for the medic exam you will be free to rest," her grandmother explained. Shia nodded, and turned to face the window. She watched the scenery roll by, just wanting to be back in Suna to finally start her treatment of the youngest Sand Sibling.
Sunagakure Hotel
Shikamaru Nara walked up the stairs to the entrance of the hotel, not really caring that he'd left a confused, and obviously fuming Temari outside. Truthfully, she'd really irked him today. Not that she didn't usually irk him, what with her constant battery, and blazing glares. It's just, this time she'd gone ahead and made assumptions about him. Though he supposed he shouldn't be surprised...she was female after all. Females loved to make assumptions about things whether they had all the right details or not. 'It really is too troublesome for me to keep thinking about it,' the young Chunnin thought to himself. He pushed thoughts of her out of his mind and slid his room key into the door.
He walked into the decent sized hotel room, which he'd try to remember to thank Tsunade for when he returned to Konoha. The pony tailed boy unzipped his chunnin vest and let it fall to the floor. He continued to strip his clothes as he made his way to the bathroom. Shikamaru slipped out of his pants, turning on the water, and stepping into the steamy shower. 'Kami-sama! I'm full of sand…' he thought to himself, running his hands over his lean body. He felt the rough texture of the sand against his soft skin, and continued to wipe it clean. Once he was satisfied that most of the sand was off, he grabbed he bar of soap, lathered it up, and began to rub it over his hard, wiry muscles. He scrubbed over his forearms, and the beginnings of a nice rippling abdomen. After he was covered in suds, he reached up to the pony tail in his hair. The brown, moist locks fell over his face, and rested just at his shoulders. Warm hands massaged shampoo into his straight chocolate hair. He massaged his scalp, feeling his throbbing headache melting away.
After rinsing off, he wrapped a towel around his waist, and walked into his room. With a smaller towel he began to dry his loose hair. The developing muscles in his arms and chest flexed in the moonlight. Satisfied with his hair, he threw on a pair of boxers and climbed into bed. The young Nara didn't even bother getting under the sheets. The idea of sweating his balls off didn't appeal to him in the least. He laid his head down, chestnut locks splaying across the white pillow, and allowed sleep to take him. (a little something for the Shika fan girls..hehe)
Kazekage Tower
Temari walked into the house looking confused and upset. She practically stormed to her room, slamming the door shut. It was a clear sign, 'don't fuck with me', and Kankurou read the message loud and clear. He didn't dare say a word to her. 'What got shoved up her ass today?' he wondered. The middle Sabaku child walked with two shares of the takeout he'd ordered, into his younger brother's room.
"Brought you dinner Gaara," he said, setting the food in front of the resting redhead. The pale aqua eyes opened, and rested on the container of food, a fleeting look of relief in their depths. Temari hadn't cooked tonight.
"I think there's something wrong with Temari. She seemed really pissed when she came home," the brunette mentioned, breaking his chopsticks apart and starting on his meal.
"Must have something to do with that mission today…" Gaara added, putting a piece of chicken into his mouth. Kankurou sighed.
"Probably, maybe I should go talk to her," he said, feeling a little worried for his older sister. Now, Temari and Kankurou didn't get along, but for a long time they were all each other had. If she was really that upset about something, he naturally felt worried for her.
"No, you'll only start an argument. I think the last person who should talk to her when she's upset is you," Gaara said, which made sense.
"I guess you're right," Kankurou agreed. He was usually the key to her irritation, and to see her agitated by someone that wasn't him made him want to go out and kill said someone. No one messes with his sister except him…period.
The two boys sat in silence for a little while. Kankurou pondered what could have possibly happened on Temari's mission to anger her so much. Gaara worried about his sister, but also thought through bigger decisions in his head. Ever since the nurse had left, he'd been thinking about her question. 'Do you want us to be friends?' She'd given him the choice. It's not like she had said no. Akito Shia was giving him the chance to decide whether they would become friends or not. Whatever he decided, he knew she'd willingly accept. It was a refreshing change for him. Usually people took one look at him, screamed "Ah!…it's Sabaku no Gaara!" and ran away. The young medic, however, was willing to go with his decision.
"Hey shortcake…" he heard his older sister's tired sounding voice say from the doorway. His minty eyes looked up at his pretty blond sister. She looked tired, and there was a hint of irritation in her greenish-blue depths.
"Neesan…" he heard himself say. He knew she liked it when he called her that, and he wanted to see her smile. Gaara didn't like the tired look in her eyes. His greeting did trigger a happy smile to grace his sister's pretty features.
"How are you feeling today?" she asked. He let the new smile he'd finally succeeded in getting to look right grace his face. His sister was more than happy to see it, and moved to give him a tight, warm embrace. When she released him she placed a small kiss on his cheek, and tousled his hair in that way that big sister's do.
"I am feeling better Neesan," he said, she smiled.
"That's good. Shia-chan should be back tomorrow night," she said. He nodded, and picked up his food to begin eating again.
"Temari…." Kankurou's slightly worried voice said from beside her. She turned to look at her other brother.
"Are you okay?" he asked, tilting his head to the side and quirking a brow. She chuckled softly.
"Yea, I'm okay. I got stuck with a representative of Konohagakure today, and Kami was he annoying," she said with an exaggerated flail of her hand. Kankurou smiled.
"Ha…I feel bad for the old man," he said, continuing to eat his dinner. 'Not quite,' Temari thought.
"Yea, I had to hit him a couple of times. Hopefully the elders don't find out," she said, and both siblings laughed while Gaara sat back with a small smile on his face. They were a family. Finally after twelve years of pain and fear…they'd become a family….
