Yes, You pplz know I dont own Naruto. Masashi-sama does...How I envy you, Masashi-sama...

Temari glared at the flower she was holding. She had picked it up off the side of the rode. A petal was missing and it looked like bugs have been eating it.

" It's a rose..." she glared at it some more.

Oh,she detested it. For it reminded her of Valentines Day. And Valentines Day was soon. Tomorrow to be exact.

And she had no one to give chocolates to.

Sure she would of course make chocolates for her brothers. but they're family. They didn't count.

Truth be told, she actually was thinking of someone...

" No!" She shook his image out of her mind. Crushing the rose in her hand, she started walking down the road.

She had been thinking about him lately. She met him a while back, but still...

It was love at first sight.

Yet she denied it a lot.

" I have brothers to look after! No one will interfer with me and my siblings! Not some lazy ass..." She sighed, tossing the crushed rose petals aside.

Naru Shikamaru...

She loved the sound of his name.

Temari recited his name...day after day in her mind.

Often one of her brothers would catch her looking in to the sky with a dreamy expression on her face, thinking she was sick.

No, not sick.

Love-sick.

" Maybe...I should visit him..." She walked along a sandy path to her house. " Or maybe not..."

Temari was thinking of her brothers then. Would they care if she liked Shikamaru?

" What if they don't agree? Would Gaara do something about it?" She sighed.

" Would I do something about what...?"

Temari spun around quickly. There was Gaara staring at her.

" Uh...nothing..." She turned back around and headed towards her front door.

" No, ...it's something." He quickly appeared in front of her, blocking her passage to the door.

" Honestly it's nothing!" Temari waved her arms frantically in front of her, as if trying to empthasize it was nothing.

" I've been listening to you two, and from what I can tell, it's obviously something." Kankuro walked out of the front door around Gaara and stood beside him.

Both of them looked at Temari.

She was getting quite nervous.

" Hey..Hey guys please...uh it's really nothing!" Temari took a step backwards.

Kankuro and Gaara took a step forwards.

" Hey Gaara, I think our sis is in loooove!" Kankuro stuck up his pinky and smiled.

" Hn..." Gaara glared.

" WAIT A SECOND! WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Temari blushed and yet again waved her arms about.

" Oh, you know. You're in love with some dude and you're not so sure we'd approve of you loving him. Right, am I right?" Kankuro leaned his head forward, grinning hopefully.

" Yes, Kankuro you are right." Said Gaara dryly.

" YEAH! I KNEW IT!" He threw his fist in the air and did a victory shout.

" Shut up, Kankuro, or I'll kill you." Gaara glared at him.

Kankuro immediatly stopped shouting, He was quiet terrified of his brother sometimes.

" Temari..." Gaara looked at her." Who is it...?"
" I...I told you it's nothing..no one!" Temari was a bit frightened.

She was afraid of what Gaara would do to her if he found out who it was. She was also afraid of Gaara. Period.

" Temari...I'll kill you if you don't tell me..." Gaara glared at her.

" Oh, come now brother, you wouldn't kill me, your own flesh and blood, now would you?" Temari was veeery scared.

And she new what the answer would be.

" Yes. I would kill you." said Gaara.

Sabaki no Gaara is just so mean.

" Okay, brother..." Temari looked at him. " Naru Shikamaru."

Kankuro and Gaara were puzzled.

" Who?" Kankuro said.

" ..." Gaara wouldn't admit he didn't know.

" WHAT? WHO! ONLY THE GREATEST NINJA EVER! So cute...so dreamy..." Temari sighed and looked up in to the sky.

" Hey, Gaara. Temari looks sick." Kankuro said, as he sweatdropped.

" Not sick...Love-sick." Gaara replied.
