"Gaara, I have bad feelings. Could he be in trouble?", Temari starts to raise her concern to her youngest brother whom got up immediately knowing his sister is now in his room. It felt weird for Gaara to have that kind of talk with his sister. He was never even once approached by anyone by this kind of talks.

" I.. I have no idea, but we can go and check if you want. I'll wake Kankuro up", Gaara answered shortly after, getting the thoughts that if Kankuro is awake, he don't have to  be stabbed with Temari's uncomfortable questions.

"No, it's okay. I am sure he is going to be fine. Ugh, I hate it everytime he made me worried for him. Who does he think he is? The next Hokage in line? Huh, if he ever be a Hokage, he will be the worst in the history of Hokages and that the people from the next generation will definitely carved his face off from the monument. Haha", Temari talks to Gaara, but it pretty looks like she is trying her best to actually comfort her ownself. 

'Kankuro, wake up already! This is your expertise, not mine. I have no idea what the hell she is babbling about. Kankuro!', Gaara shouts in his thoughts.

"Gaara, are you even listening to me?", now it's Temari's turn to shout, only louder, clearer, and meant for people to listen to it.

"Y..yes nee-san. Loud and clear", Gaara stuttered.

"Tsch, what am I thinking. You are supposedly to enjoy this vacation and starts to search for your bride-to-be or else people back in Suna will questioned us over and over again on when are you getting married. It's funny that our village is practicing that the next Kazekage has to be the son or the daughter of the previous Kazekage. Imagine this, if you will never found your future wife, and eventually should I get marry and have a kid, that kid is going to be named as the next Kazekage. But that kid is born here in Konoha since my husband is from here. Sunas won't accept him, isnt't? Or will they? Or even if they accept him/her as the next Kazekage, will the kid runs our village smoothly? I doubt that because you see...",

"Ouch! Damn you Grandma Chiyo! Don't let that puppet out of your sight again! That puppet kicks my butt and Sasori is laughing hysterically. That little red haired, you poisoned me and now laughing at me, I couldn't hate you more! Sasori no..! Not my Gundam collection!!!", Kankuro shouts in his sleep, stops Temari babbling when Gaara kick Kankuro's ass hard enough to wake him up. He can no longer stands his sister's weird change of character. He didn't remember Temari ever talk this much before, but when it comes to Shikamaru, she switched immediately to this babbling Temari he felt really uncomfortable to confront with.

"Kankuro, WAKE UP ALREADY!!", Temari shouts loud enough that it even wakes Shikamaru's mother whom were sleeping next door.

"Hey kids, what went wrong? Eh, where is Shikamaru?", she asked the moment she realized her one and only son are not with the siblings.

"Ano... He.. he...", Temari hesitated to tell the truth, worried that she is going to be even worried knowing her son has been assigned to a quite dangerous mission, but eventually she told the truth. Shikamaru's mother only smile, and said everything will be okay and went back to her room. That put Temari at ease a little, but not Gaara nor Kankuro. The brothers asked Temari to stay and they both went out to search for Shikamaru to lend a hand if he needed one. To be honest, the brothers can't stand their sister's babbling any longer, leaving Temari and Shikamaru's mother in the house all by themselves, also it's because Shikamaru worth more than just another shinobi to them, he could be their future brother-in-law.
