Growing up was hard for Temari. It was confusing for her. She had no friends that lived in Sand town. All she had was her siblings. She didn't like her parents.
Temari decided to travel. Not letting Gaara or Kankuro know. Temari will come across ha...
It was morning. I was still kinda shaken up from the nightmares and the stranger. I still don't feel hungry. I ended up not eating breakfast.
"You should eat. You haven't eaten dinner nor breakfast." Shikamaru. I looked away. "I'm not hungry." I snapped. I was lying. I was horribly hungry but looking at my food made me feel sick. It must be the effect of the poison. I got up to get my fan. I was going to take a walk. Shikamaru followed me. I tried to ignore him. Eventually he was getting on my nerves so I used my fan and swung it making the dirt and sand fly up. I then ran off. Shikamaru rubbed his eyes to noticed I was gone. "Sigh..troublesome..." He sighed.
Konoha Park (Forest)
I wanted to be alone. I looked up at the cloudy dark sky. I thought about my brothers.
"I hope they are doing well. I'm sorry. I had to leave or I was going to end my life." I thought.
I sighed. I continued walking in the forest just looking around.
Drip... drip drop...drip drop drip...
I looked up. It was starting to rain. It felt good on my skin. We don't get rain ever in Sand Village. Although the rain made me...sadder. I then looked down. I continued walking in the rain. I thought about my life and childhood. I was so scared of Gaara. I hated Papa. I had no friends. I was... really sad. I walked. I felt like I was going through a memory path.
I saw myself playing with my younger siblings. I saw myself excited to meet Gaara and Kankuro. I saw myself fighting Tenten. I saw... the day Shukaku appeared in our village. My heartbeat went up.
"Why? Was this fear? Its not actually happening... But I'm scared?" I thought.
I walked to the streets.
Konoha Street
Everyone was either inside or was walking with an umbrella. I saw girls laughing. I saw boys playing. I saw couples talk. I saw people have friends. My heart hurted. I had the need to cry.
I ran to a corner where nobody could see me. I leaned against the wall. I felt empty. I felt hopeless. I slide my back down and I hugged my knees sobbing.

"Temari.. Your going to get a cold if you stay out here.." Shikamaru sits next to me with the umbrella over us. I ignored him continued crying.
"What's wrong.. please tell me Tem." Shikamaru was worried about me. I looked at him with my tears. Then looked down sad. I told him how lonely and sad I was.
"Tem... I'm your friend... Although I feel like its more then friends..." Shikamaru mumbled at the last part. I heard him say it. "What...you mean more then friends.." I asked.
"I'm not sure. Its just a feeling I have." Shikamaru smiled at me. I blushed. I looked away. "I miss my brothers... But I don't want to return.. Konoha is so much more peaceful." I said. "It is. You should stay here then if you badly don't want to return. We can find you home here." Shikamari suggested. I looked at him. I thought about it. I would be a burden though... "No thanks..." I said. Shikamaru sighed.
