Lonely Desert

The lost 'boyfriend'

Next day:
Y/n's POV:

After a well needed rest, myself, Temari and Kankuro, headed out to look at the village. Gaara wasn't there when we woke up and even with a search of the apartment, he couldn't be found. Whilst we were walking around the village looking at all the stores they had to offer, we came across a ninja weaponry store. We all looked at each other and smirked before walking inside.

We all walked to seperate areas of the store to wherever interested us. Temari heading towards the fans and Kankuro towards the poisons and puppets. I was just gazing around and looking at everything when I came across a beautiful sleek looking Katana. It was a slim but sharp and sturdy blade with a silver hilt and brown leather delicately yet tightly braided around the hold. Taking it down, I continued to examine the sword, the steel was a very shiny and polished, it was cold against my skin as I carefully sliced my finger. Perfectly sharp, I barely had to press it to my finger tip and it bled profusely. I raised my index finger to my mouth and turned pulled a small bandage out of my pouch and dressed the wound.

I turned around looking for the shop owner when my eyes landed on an elderly woman who was also looking my direction with a soft smile on her face and a glisten in her eyes. I made my way towards her with the Katana in my hands.

"Excuse me ma'am, but how much is this Katana?" I asked politely, she walked over to me and glanced at the sword before giving me a closed eyed smile. She took it from my hands and began to take me towards the counter.

"Ahh yes deary, this one is 1000 Ryo, but I'll cut you a deal..If you can promise me that you will practice with this katana every day, you can have it for half." The lady said before entering the information on to the check out computer thingy. Kankuro was memory into him self about different types of poison and how they would affect the use of his puppets whilst Temari looked uninterested at all of the fans and other weapons. The Sands weaponised fans were probably better. Gaara was still off being the edgy boy he is.

After paying for the Katana and all the other weapons I chose including some Kunai I picked up, I walked up to Temari to ask about Gaara.

" Hey Temari, where would Gaara be? We still haven't seen him all morning.." I questioned slightly worried. Of course Gaara could handle himself but I couldn't help being nervous for him. Temari turned to face me with a playful and teasing smirk on her face. Oh no.. here we go..

"Sorry Y/n, I don't know where your boyfriend is, nor do I know where he could be. You should go ask Kankuro, I'm sure he'd know" Temari announced proudly, she had probably planned for this, huh?

"H-he's not my b-boyfriend Temari!" I announced almost at the top of my lungs causing all eyes to turn to my loud outburst. I sent a glare to anyone looking and they went back to what they were doing whilst whispering to each other.

Temari mouthed a sarcastic 'sureeeeee' and I send her a playful glare and pouted before heading over towards Kankuro who was muttering and lowly chuckling. Something is seriously wrong with that kid, he needs to be taken to a therapist or something. I sighed before tapping him on the shoulder, he froze up before turning to face me. He sweatdropped and awkwardly scratched the back of his hood where his neck is. "You hear anything I just said....?" He asked, eyes darting around before settling back on me as I sighed.

"Some of it, just murmurs though...." I responded. He sighed back but out of relief rather than annoyance. His glance returned to me as I just emotionlessly stared back into his eyes which caused him to slightly cower before asking the very obvious 'what do you need?' question. I shook my head before replying. "Was wondering if you had seen Gaara at all today, I haven't seen him since we checked into the hotel last night..." he shook his head and went back to looking at the different poisons that were available in the small store.

I tilted my head up and rolled my eyes before heading out and walking across the road towards a beige coloured store with the Kanji for 'Dango store' written on brightly coloured banners that flapped in the wind. Since entering the Ninja world, 12 and a half years ago, Dango quickly became one of my favourite foods along with ramen, reminds me I have to go there again with Gaara. I walked into the stand and ordered five Dango sticks, what can I say, I love the stuff. I paid and waited a further 10 minutes for it to be finished before I was handed the deliciousness made in heaven in a brown card bowl. I skipped back to the others where they were standing outside. Temari holding Kankuro by the ear and dragging him outside to where I was standing, an entire Dango stick shoved into my mouth causing my cheeks to puff up. Temari began to laugh and Kankuro did too but was still frightened at the female so didn't laugh even near as wholeheartedly.

Sighing for the one millionth time today, I walked towards them and handed them a Dango stick each which they accepted happily. We then began to walk down the road because we were bored, I was still stuffing my face and refusing to share any with the others. Kankuro and Temari had started yet another argument about I don't even know what this time. I walked silently behind them in embarrassment and disappointment. They really acted like children and yet they were older than me, well in this world at least...

Suddenly Kankuro walked into something causing me to walk into his back and look in front of him in suprise, never thought I'd see Konohamaru. Well I knew this was going to happen but I didn't know when exactly, it has been twelve years since I had actually watched the anime, so my memory is a little fuzzy but I can remember the important parts. Welp- now I have to deal with these idiots... at least I get to see Naruto and Duckbutt emo kid, oh and Gaara being an edgy boi. Hehe guess I can't wait for that...
