Temari tapped her foot lightly, impatiently, but it wasn't making Gaara move any faster. She had a lot to do today and really didn't like having to pick the boy up, but it seemed to be everyone's day off and Gaara was too much of a sadist to make things conveniant and drive himself to and from school. She looked at the clock on her dashboard, 3:17.

"Dammit Gaara, get your a** out here," just as she said it, the red-head walked out of the school slowly, taking his time. Temari huffed and started tapping the steering wheel.

Finally, Gaara opened the passenger door and slid in. As soon as the door was shut, Temari took off, earning a few honks.

The car ride was very silent, no hellos, how are you, how was school, nothing. Temari had given up on her brother a long time ago. So she nearly hit someone when he spoke.

"I'm going out tonight."

"You have school tomorrow."

"....So?"

Why was he telling her this? Like she really cared.

"Whatever."

Naruto stood in his kitchen, staring at the sandwich he had made almost an hour ago. His expression was very distant, detached. He was rarely this deep in thought, and it was beginning to worry Tenten and Hinata, for the man hadn't moved since they entered the apartment a good fifteen minutes ago.

"Naru-sweetie?" Tenten poked him lightly in the shoulder, he didn't move. She sighed and grabbed a hand towel, getting it wet under the faucet and ringing it out. When the towel was just dmap-ish, she wound it up and popped Naruto sharply on the butt.

Naruto jumped and yelped, grabbing his rear end and turning around, "careful there! Precious booty."

Hinata giggled while Tenten snorted, "ha, precious, yeah, sure."

"Naruto, are you feeling alright, you seemed awfully preoccupied," Hinata alighted herself on a barstool, setting a sketchbook down in front of her.

"Huh? Yeah, m'fine. Was just thinking."
