Author's Note: This is a story with Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari going on a road trip. I'm not sure how long the story will be. The idea just came to me all of a sudden! It takes place in Shippuden. But it doesn't really follow the storyline much because everything in the Naruto world is more modern in this story. Like rv's, game systems, roads, stuff like that! The story stars all three of the siblings but the story kind of centers around Gaara more then the other two. The story has OOC moments at times!
The Sand Siblings Go On A Road Trip:
Chapter One...
It was a peaceful morning in The Hidden Sand Village and Temari was already up.
"Okay...I packed my bags! All I have to do now is drag Gaara and Kankuro out of bed!" Temari said as she walked out of her room.
In Gaara's Room...
Temari opened the door and entered Gaara's room.
Temari walked over to Gaara's bed and touched his shoulder.
"Gaara...wake up..." Temari said.
Gaara didn't respond.
"...Wake up Gaara!" Temari shouted.
Still no response.
"Oh come on! Ever since Shakaku's been extracted out him he's hard to wake up once he sleeps!" Temari said.
Then she smirked.
"Gaara, your fangirls are here!" Temari said.
Suddenly Gaara jumped up.
"WHAT!??!?!?!" Gaara shouted.
He looked around and sighed.
"Temari, why'd you do that?!" Gaara asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"I had to get you up! Don't you remember that we're going on a road trip today?" Temari said.
Gaara sighed.
"...Unfortunately yes..." Gaara said as he stood up.
Temari looked annoyed.
"Don't be like that! This is a chance for us to spend some family time together!" Temari said as she walked to the door.
Gaara sighed again.
"Now get dressed and pack a bag! I'm gonna go get Kankuro." Temari said as she left the room.
Gaara rubbed his temples.
"Why is Temari so obsessed with the three of us spending time together?" Gaara asked himself.
He walked to his closet and pulled out his clothes.
"(It's not like I don't want to spend time with my brother and sister...but I have Kazekage work...)" Gaara thought as he got dressed.
Meanwhile In Kankuro's Room...
"KANKURO! GET YOUR LAZY SELF OUT OF BED!!!" Temari screamed.
Kankuro moaned from under the covers.
"Nooo...I just wanna sleep for a few more minutes..." Kankuro said.
Temari sighed and pulled out her fan.
"I'LL WHACK YOU WITH MY FAN IF YOU DON'T GET UP!" Temari shouted.
Kankuro jumped up out of bed.
"Alright! I'm up, see?!" Kankuro said.
Temari smiled and put away her fan.
Kankuro sighed.
"Now get ready and pack a bag, we don't wanna be late because of you!" Temari said as she walked out of the room.
Kankuro then walked over to his closet.
A Short While Later...
Gaara was in the living room holding a small backpack and a DS.
Temari noticed him and walked over.
"Gaara...when I said to pack lite...I didn't mean pack THAT lite!" Temari said.
Gaara glanced over at her.
Temari sighed and grabbed his DS.
"And what did I say about playing this stupid DS?!" Temari said.
Gaara gave her a look and grabbed his DS.
"I don't want to be bored." Gaara muttered.
Temari scowled and grabbed the DS.
Gaara grabbed it right back.
Thirty Minutes Of Fighting Over The DS Later...
Gaara was on the floor pinned down by Temari.
"Now give me that piece of junk!" Temari said as she tried to grab it from Gaara.
"Never." Gaara muttered.
Twenty More Minutes Of Fighting Later...
Temari was wrapped in sand and Gaara was hanging from the ceiling and the DS was on the floor.
One Hour Later...
Temari's arm was choking Gaara and the other arm was trapped in sand and Gaara was on the floor with the DS under his head and his arms were tied.
"GIVE IT UP!" Temari shouted.
So Much Time More Time Later...
Gaara was tied up on the couch and Temari was covered in sand holding the DS.
"GOT IT!" Temari said.
Gaara sighed.
Gaara freed himself from the rope.
Temari opened the window and threw out the DS.
"Now go pack more. There's no way you could have possibly put clothes and personal stuff in that backpack." Temari said.
Gaara grabbed the backpack.
"If you don't think I did...take a look." Gaara said as he opened the backpack.
Temari looked inside and gasped.
There was clothes and lots of stuff inside of it.
"HOW COULD YOU PUT THAT MUCH STUFF IN THERE?!" Temari asked.
Before Gaara could answer, Kankuro walked into the room.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Kankuro said.
Temari looked at him.
"No your not!" Temari said as she pointed at Kankuro.
Temari walked closer to him.
"What's in the suitcase?" Temari asked as she crossed her arms.
Kankuro opened it.
There were bags of chips, candy, desserts, a tooth brush, three comic books, and three puppets inside.
"What's wrong?" Kankuro asked.
"You have no clothes in there!" Temari said.
Kankuro sighed.
"I do have clothes! The ones I'm wearing!" Kankuro said as he pointed at himself.
Gaara listened to them argue.
Temari sighed.
"What do you plan on sleeping in?!" Temari asked.
Kankuro thought for a minute.
"My underwear I guess..." Kankuro said.
Gaara flinched.
Temari smacked her forehead in a 'are you kidding me?' way.
Gaara spoke up.
"...We should probably be leaving now..." Gaara said.
Temari glanced at her watch and gasped.
"Your right! We were supposed to be in the RV an hour ago!" Temari said.
She grabbed her brother's arms and ran out the door.
Outside...
There was a RV parked outside.
"Okay. Help me put in the luggage, Kankuro." Temari said.
Kankuro nodded and picked up his suitcase.
Gaara was glancing around the area when he saw something blue on the ground.
"Hey...that's my DS that Temari threw out." Gaara said.
He looked around to make sure Temari wasn't looking.
Then he picked up the DS and put it in his backpack and then walked into the RV while smirking.
Temari and Kankuro had just finished putting in the luggage and got inside the RV.
Inside The RV...
The RV wasn't all that big. And it only had two bedrooms so had to Kankuro sleep on the couch.
Gaara looked around inside.
"...I guess this isn't too bad..." Gaara said as he leaned against a nearby counter.
Kankuro sat down on a couch.
"Of course not! This couch is pretty comfortable!" Kankuro said.
Temari climbed into the driver's seat.
"Okay! I'm gonna start up the RV." Temari said.
She put the key into the ignition and started up the RV.
But it made a rough vibration.
Gaara who was leaning on the counter fell to the floor on his face from the vibration.
Kankuro laughed at Gaara until he rolled off the couch and on his face.
Temari looked back at them to see if they were alright.
"You guys okay?" Temari asked.
Gaara was flat on his face on the floor mumbling something about hating the RV.
And Kankuro was laying on the floor on his back trying to stand up.
Temari looked at them and snickered.
Gaara finally stood up and glared at Temari.
"If Shakaku wasn't out of me, I'd so unleash his power and destroy the RV..." Gaara muttered.
Temari snickered again and then pushed her feat on the peddle.
Ten Minutes Later...
Gaara was sitting in a chair reading a drama/tragedy novel.
And Kankuro was eating some chips from his suitcase.
Suddenly tears came down Gaara's eyes.
Kankuro rose an eyebrow.
"Are you crying?" Kankuro asked.
Gaara quickly wiped the tears from his eye.
"...I'm just...caught up in this novel..." Gaara choked out.
Gaara sniffed and continued reading.
Kankuro sighed and lied back down on the couch.
"(I wonder what the council members would say if I told them that Gaara reads dramatic stories and then cries over it...)" Kankuro thought as he smirked.
Suddenly Temari spoke up.
"Hey guys....did you bring the map?" Temari asked.
Kankuro thought for a minute.
"Gaara, do you have the map?" Kankuro asked.
More tears came welled up in Gaara's eyes.
"...How could you frame your sickly brother for the robbery, Zuko?" Gaara said as he wiped tears from his eyes.
Kankuro sighed.
"Gaara, forget about 'Zuko framing his brother for a robbery' and answer my question." Kankuro said.
Gaara sniffed and continued reading.
"...Yuki...don't believe Zuko's lie!" Gaara said in shock.
Kankuro sighed again.
Then he grabbed Gaara's book and threw it out the window.
Gaara looked shocked.
"Why did you do that?! Now I'll never know what happened!" Gaara said.
Kankuro sighed.
"Forget it..." Kankuro said as he lied back down on the couch.
Kankuro put his hands behind is head and sighed.
"(This is gonna be a LONG trip...)" Kankuro thought.
Gaara returned to his normal blank expression and gave Temari the map.
Continued.
There's the first chapter. Is it good? I know that it started out kinda slow...but that's how it happens! I should have the next chapter up either tonight or sometime tomorrow. Read and review!
