Naruto's POV

Okay soooooooo, the 'talking' with Temari didn't exactly go "smooth" ya know. -cough- lies -cough-

Fine...fine, maybe "smooth" is a minor understatement. -cough- such lies -cough-

Maybe "smooth" is a major understatement. You know why..?

So we were 'talking about Sasuke's fate'. Not exactly the direction I wanted it to fall into but...Temari got furious, let's just say I've hit a sore spot.

"So I was thinking we could keep it to us. Ya know, hiding it from anybody else" I risked it. She bit her lip looking flatly into me.

Her face didn't show any sign of emotion, it was blank. No expressions at all. Then I decided to throw something in.

"H-hey, I mean we would be ruining our relationship with.." I sweat "..Sasuke if we do so, right?"

My awkward statements did nothing. They had no impact at all. It was as if she's frozen in time.

I waved my hands in front of her face, "Temari, Temari, T-T-Temari???"

Then she snapped, Temari gently set aside my hands with her own which revealed her serious expression. "Ahahah.." I laughed nervously.

"How can you be so calm about this?" she breathes. I was about to point something out when I got cut off. "No...what do you mean keeping it to us??"

"Ugh..eh.." I shrugged "Wouldn't that be betraying his trust if we don't? R-right..?"

Temari furrowed her eyebrows, "Wait.. when did you even get this information? Even more, where did you get it from?"

Information.

Her finger touched my nose, it made me lean back at the side of the couch until I fell. "I-I got this from" I paused "Sasuke"

She connected the dots. "So meaning to say, you did talk about this. And you lied!" she shrieked.

I sat up dusting off my shirt from that little fall. "Okay, fine he revealed this while I was tipsy. And...and- I only thought about you; your reaction"

The sand kunoichi leaned back at the couch, "Naruto, this...I visited Sasuke awhile ago to hang out. And don't ask why, I felt like it okay. He told me something." she looked down.

I sat beside her to her the 'something' she was talking about. "Tell me" I uttered monotonously giving my voice that serious effect.

"I...he, ughhh"

I was puzzled about what she meant, "What are you trying to say?" I questioned her.

She looked my way. My eyes widened while her hand reached for my forehead protector - This made me think I'd be falling off of the couch again. I leaned backwards once again, till she stopped.

I tried to say something but I knew it would turn out into a stutter.

Temari now had a firm hold of my protector, my mouth now slightly agape. She removed it and tapped my forehead.

That moment I felt a memory came rolling in..

[In my mind]

This must be Temari's memory
