Uchiha Heiress

Chapter 6

I rolled over trying to go back to sleep.. Funny, I don't remember my bed being this uncomfortable.. I pulled the blankets up to my chin.. they felt funny too.. I opened my eyes and looked at them.. purple?! I quickly sat up and glanced around the room. It was decorated with white furniture and a coating of soft purple paint on the walls. Well this isn't my room! It could be worse though.. I could have woken up in a boys room, that would have been awkward to say the least. I pulled back the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm still in my training outfit?" "Bout time you woke up" Startled, I jumped off the bed and looked up to see Kankuro leaning against the doorframe. His arms were crossed against his bare chest and his face was no longer covered in purple. I felt blood fill my cheeks and I looked at the ground in an attempt to hide my blush. "So this must be your-" "Temari's room.." "Oh.. the purple paint kinda threw me" I giggled at his 'not-impressed' look. "Well I guess I should head on home" "Temari's sound asleep on the couch anyway so your welcome to stay here for the rest of the night" I shook my head at the thought of having to stay in such an uncomfortable bed. "Um no thanks.. Temari's bed isn't as comfy as mine" I headed to the door. "Mine's pretty comfy" I felt the blush creep back into my cheeks and I bit my lower lip. He smirked and chuckled deeply "I'll walk you home" with that he turned and headed into his room to chuck on a shirt.

The serenity of the early hours of the morning was completely mesmorizing (sp?) and for some time neither of us spoke a word until I decided to break the ice. "When I blacked out did you-" "Catch you?" I looked at him as he nodded his head. "Thanks" I gave him a warm smile before stopping and watching a fairy wren dart around a few metres from where we now stood. He followed my gaze and we stood there in silence watching the beautiful creature until it flew off and we resumed walking. (for those who do not know what a fairy wren is >> picture)

"Well this is me" I pulled out my key and unlocked my door as Kankuro yawned and mumbled something along the lines of good night. I turned to him as he began walking away "Ya know my couch is pretty comfy" He turned back with a smile and followed me inside. "It's not much but it's .. well.." "It's cosy" I smiled before fetching him some blankets and a pillow. I pulled the bottom of the couch out into the bed and made it before retiring to my room.

I awoke to the irritating sound of my alarm a few hours later. I slammed my fist down to get it to shut up before rolling out of bed and walking into the bathroom for a nice hot shower. I sat on the shower floor enjoying the warmth before I remembered that Kankuro had stayed the night. I sighed before turning off the water and getting ready for the day. I walked out into the lounge where Kankuro was still fast asleep. I smiled to myself.. he looked so cute when he was sleeping.. wait what? what was happening to me? I shook my head at the thought and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. (used european food so just go along with it =P) I heard Kankuro stir at the sound of sizzling bacon. I giggled quietly to myself.. no guy could resist the smell of bacon in the morning. He made his way over and sat on one of the barstools at the bench as I began plating up. "Morning Kankuro" His response was muffled by the food he was shoving into his mouth at an alarming rate... He was like a ravenous wolf o.0 *Knock *knock I pryed my eyes away from Kankuro and went to open the door. "Oh hey Temari what are you-" "I came to see you were alright" "Yeah I'm feeling so much-" "Whats that?" By 'that' she obviously meant the sound of Kankuro filling his face. She shoved past me to see who it was. I mentally facepalmed myself. Great this is the last thing I need.. her getting the wrong idea about me and Kankuro. I watched her expression turn from curious to surprised and finally disgusted. She pointed from Kankuro, to me then back to Kankuro. I shook my head and hands furiously to tell her there was nothing going on here but from the smirk on her face she wasn't buying it. "I'll leave you two alone" She sauntered past me and off down the stairs. Great. I'm gna hear about that later on.. I shut the door and turned back to look at Kankuro who was still oblivious to the fact that his sister had just been in the room. He reminded me of Naruto in an odd way.. boy that kid could eat. I leaned against a wall, with my arms wrapped around myself thinking of my friend back in konoha. I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't realize Kankuro had made his way over and he pulled me into a hug. I looked up at him questioningly. "You looked like you could use a hug.. besides I wanted to thank you for such a great breakfast" He smirked and I giggled before returning his hug. "Thanks" He hugged me tighter before releasing me and headed off to train before the Chunnin exams tomorrow. I smiled at the thought of returning to Konoha, not only to see Naruto but to also show off my new found powers.
