Temari's POV

I blinked my eyes open , yawning slightly. " Otou-san ?" I called out at the crouching figure of my father . 

" Oh , are you awake Temari ?" his raspy voice rang . I nodded slightly , attempting to numb my sore shoulders .
" Where's Shikamaru ?" I asked . Father turned towards me , a serious expression on his face.

" He left for Konoha earlier this morning . The Hokage sent a private jet
for Shikamaru. Eventually they landed on the rooftop ," he replied. " And while you are awake , go take a shower in the bathroom and help me with finding these forms ," .

" Forms ? For what ?" I questioned , slightly confused . " The flood is getting really bad . We need to evacuate our citizens to Konoha , as it's the closest country . As for us , well , we'll be fine . The Kazekage Mansion is on a hill top after all ,".

I nodded as I took a pair of clothes that I bought yesterday and a small towel . My feet treaded against the cold wooden floor , disappointment filling my heart. 

Why did Shika leave without uttering a single word to me ? Was I too hard on him yesterday ? He could have just woke me up , I was right there !

Tears pricked my eyes as I closed the bathroom door . I tore off the skimpy outift I wore . (Name) said only an uncivilised person would wear such an outfit . 

I turned the shower on , hot steaming water flowing out . A feeling of unease filled my heart . My head throbbed slightly and my throat felt bland . 

A lump formed in my throat , and an urge to vomit kicked in. I rushed to the sink and emptied my throat , a sickly bitter and sour taste filling my mouth . 

What is wrong with me ? The throbbing in my head grew stronger , and all I saw was small specks of light.

" Temari ? Are you alright ? " Father's voice rang from outside the room .
" I feel a little unwell ," I murmured , quickly slipping on a brown jumper and jean shorts on . 

" Perhaps you should go back home ," Father spoke , concern in his voice . 
" In what ?" I responded , raising an eyebrow . " There are some military boats in the second floor of the building . The water had rose up to the first floor , so everything valuable had been brought up ," Father trailed.

I nodded as I took my items and headed towards the staircase . " When are you coming home Otou-san ?" I asked.

" When Suna is in a stable state , I presume ," he sighed . " Don't overwork yourself ," I voiced as I went down the stairs.

Gaara's POV

" Don't you have a camera Gaara ?" (Name)'s voice rang . " Obviously no . Otherwise why would we be rummaging through Kankurou's room ?" I replied .

(Name) let out a sigh as she sat on Kankurou's bed . " You wouldn't want to sit there (Name) ," I snickered . 

" Why not ?" (Name) frowned as she proceeded to lay on the bed . 
Immediately , her face turned sickly green . " Woah .." she murmured as she quickly hopped off the bed .

" Hmm .. A harmonious scent of sweat , beautifully partnered with damp clothes .. So heavenly ," (Name) commented .

" Ah ! Here it is ! " I burst as I held up the sleek and shiny new camera. " Let's take a photo !" .

(Name) nodded enthusiastically . " Now .. Let's find a good background !".
" First we should take a test picture , just to make sure that it works ," I voiced.
 
I activated the camera  , and (Name) and I posed in a freestyle motion. Eventually we held it on a selfie stick.

" Peace !" we burst as the flash went off . It was burning my eyes , and in my unclear sight , I could see (Name) squinting.

" What the hell are you two doing here ?!" a voice burst . I recognised it immediately - Temari . 

" Oh .. Hey Nee-san .." I gulped . Temari's hair was raised and her teal eyes were furious . Her eyes landed on me and she quickly tackled me into a hug. " Gaara my otouto ! Did (Name) take advantage of you ?  I knew I shouldn't have left you alone with her ! " she burst.

" Good grief .. What is he ? A teenage heartthrob ?" (Name) sweatdropped. 

" He qualifies to be one !" Temari retorted sassily. (Name) let out a sigh .

" Hey (Name) ! Let's go eat the cake ! It's my birthday right ? " I spoke , wiggling my eyebrows - except that they were not there , and I was just moving my forehead.

" Right .." (Name) murmured . I slipped the camera into my hoodie pocket and went down the stairs along with the girls.

" Anyway .. What type of cake did you make ?" Temari asked abruptly.

" A chocolate and vanilla red velvet cheesecake ," I responded . My mouth watered at the thought of a rich , fluffy vanilla cheesecake melting in my mouth , and (Name) playfully placing cream on my nose.

We walked in the kitchen , which was quite a mess . " Gaara .. After you cooked that ramen last night .. You didn't clean up , did you ?" (Name)'s voice rang coldly . Shivers ran down my spine . 

" Eh .. I forgot .." I murmured innocently. (Name) let out a sigh as she headed towards the refrigerator and retrieved the cake . 

" Waaah !" I burst , like a kid on Christmas night . How could I not be excited ? This is the first time ever that someone baked a cake for my birthday . 

I fished out the camera and snapped several photos of the cake , and numerous candid photos of (Name) . " Do we have any candles ?" I blurted . 

" Right , candles . I'm not sure ," (Name) murmured . Temari sat at the bar table , a blank expression plastered on her face while (Name) and I inspected every single cupboard and drawer , searching for candles .

" No candles at all ! Not even the large ones !" (Name) burst bitterly . Suddenly , a lightbulb lit on the top of my head . 

" I know ! " I burst , grabbing a torchlight on the kitchen top . " Seriously Gaara ?!" (Name) spoke out loud . 

" Just watch !" I snickered as I stuck the torchlight in the middle of the cake , making a squelching noise . 

" GAARA !" (Name) screamed . I turned on the switch , and light streamed out . 

" Ta da !" I burst . (Name) scoffed .

" Birthday song ? Anyone ?" I asked awkwardly .

" Now we are moving on to news from Konoha . Majority of the Suna citizens have been evacuated here , and are currently staying at the Konoha Natural Disaster Evacuation Centre ," .

I stared blankly at the television . " At least everyone's fine ," I commented , rubbing my full stomach . " Temari doesn't seem to be fine though ," (Name) retorted , motioning to the noises coming from the bathroom . 

" She's probably just being a prick . The cake tasted just fine , probably a bit too rich ," I commented . " Gaara ! She's your sister !" (Name) burst.

" What ? Now you're taking a liking to her ?" I questioned , which (Name) only responded with a scowl . 

" In the coldness of the rainy season , there is still hot sizzling news ! The top cameraman from Konoha , Neji Hyuga had caught a footage of Shikamaru Nara , the Hokage's advisor and Shiho , the newly discovered actress ! Shikamaru is also the husband of world famous Temari Nara , a highly celebrated fashion designer -" 

I quickly turned off the television when Temari walked into the living room . " Why did you turn off the television Gaara ?" Temari questioned as she slipped into the space between me and (Name).

I mentally scowled at her rude behaviour towards (Name) . She took the remote controller from my hand and turned on the television.

" Here we have a live interview of Shiho ! Shiho , you do realise that you are dating on the Kazekage's son in law , I believe ?" the news anchor spoke . " Yes . And I am also aware of Shikamaru's real reason of marrying Temari . He always loved me , not Temari . I honestly believe that Shikamaru is not cheating on Temari , more likely he cheated on me , when he was with Temari . And if you are watching this , Temari , just wait for the divorce papers to arrive ," Shiho spoke tauntingly . 

(Name) snatched the remote and turned off the television . " H..he's ch.. cheating ?!" Temari stuttered . Tears ran down her cheeks and her body shook slightly . " How could he ?!" she howled . " Nee-san .. Calm down ," I soothed at Temari's crouching figure. 

She sobbed furiously , not caring about (Name) and mine's consolation . 
" How could he do this to me , especially when I am pregnant with his child ?!" Temari howled . 

" Pp..pregnant ?!" I burst . " When did you find out about this ?" (Name) questioned . " I took a pregnancy test two hours ago .. And it was positive ," Temari sobbed. (Name)'s face wrote utter concern . " (Name) , take Temari upstairs and stay with her . I need to talk with Shikamaru , that dirty cheater ," I seethed bitterly .
