You strolled through the Hidden Sand, just taking in the burning sand everywhere. You saw all the business and happy faces all around, almost bringing a smile to your face. But a young red haired boy, who need seemed to be the same age as you, standing in an alleyway all by himself. He was carrying a large gourd that looked to big for his body. The boy looked lonely, so you went up to him hoping to make a new friend.
"Hi, there. I'm Tenmaku." You told while holding out your hand. "What's your name?" The red haired looked up at you with large icy blue eyes. His face showed no emotion. The boy looked as if he wanted to kill you.
"I'm Gaara." Gaara didn't shake your hand, but he continued to stare at you. "I've never seen you before. Where are you from?"
You grinned. "Don't worry, I'm just a traveler. Just passing through the village." Gaara then turned away from you and walked into the busy road. But not wanting to end the conversation, you followed him.
Gaara kept looking back, but he didn't say anything. You wondered what he was thinking about. "Why are you following? Don't you know who I am? I could kill you if I wanted to."
"I know who you are, I just don't care about titles. Your a potential friend. And I like having friends." You smiled goofily. He stopped dead in his tracks, turned around, and looked you directly in the eyes.
"You remind me of a bo....no friend, I made in the Hidden Leaf. He always had a goofy grin on his face and was able to make friends quickly." He then turned around again and continued on his way.
"Well, Gaara, I'll be taking myself to the orphanage." And you started walking away. "Tenmaku, if you don't have a place to stay, I'd be happy to have you over. My siblings won't mind."
"I accept. Thank you, Gaara."
At Gaara's home
The home was modest. Not too large or small. Currently, Gaara and his siblings were talking. You didn't hear what they were talking about, but it definitely was about you. Within 20 minutes, they came out of the room, solemnly. The girl that Gaara that identified as Temari spoke first," We understand you don't have a place to stay or go, but you must prove yourself useful to some degree to stay any longer than a day."
" I can cook and clean, if y'all want." They then murmured amongst themselves.
"You can stay for now, but Temari wants to talk with you in private." Gaara told you, monotonous. "Gaara, the new kazekage wants us," Kankuro told him.Temari then grabbed you by your shirt. "Temari, don't hurt him too bad." And Gaara and Kankuro, walked out.
"You first task is to service my feet, any objections. None okay, you may begin." Temari then went sat on her couch. "Hand me that footstool in the corner over there."
