It's getting sandy


The days passed in a flash. Soon I had dared to do something, but only something, on the siblings. I got along best with Temari. Somehow we always had the same opinion, for example when it was said that Kankuro should do the dishes. Kankuro was also quite okay, although for him there only seemed to be his dolls, but that also had an advantage for me, because if I watched him repair, I could learn a lot and maybe later spice up my hand something, with poison or so. I imagine very effective. Only Gaara stayed away from me, and somehow I sensed that pretty much everyone, except Respect, was a little bit afraid of him. I just blamed it on his dark circles and his strange sleeping habits.
Don't ask me when, where and how he sleeps. Because I don't know.
With Kankuro and Temari, the answer to this question would have been easy: while watching TV on the sofa, where I've also spent my nights for three days.Somehow I feel like I'm part of the family now.
Family, an unusual word. I think before I came to Suna I didn't even know the meaning of that word.
I hadn't heard anything from jam, which was actually a good sign. But the closer I got to the Chu-Nin exam, the more excited I got. My diet in particular suffered badly. By now I had the feeling that was why all the ninjas were so hungry. Before the exams you just couldn't get anything down, everything tasted like rubber.
But today the time had finally come, we left.

Ade Suna, Hello Konoha!

I was already standing in the doorway with my bag and my cat on my shoulder, waiting for someone to wake up. Since it was suspiciously dark, I decided to look at the clock. Three o'clock. That probably meant that I could wait a long time. What should I do so long?
It was desperate, after all, I had spent the last two hours packing my bag, tidying up everything that was messy - and that had been quite a lot after all.After all, Temari, Kankuro and I lived in this household. The Kazekage always left everything tidy, just a boring thing. I hopped impatiently from one leg to the other. Three fifteen. "AAAAAGRRR!"

We left about seven hours later. My screaming woke everyone in the house and, although as a poor weak Ge-Nin I ought to have something like a puppy protection, I was first beaten up by Temari, who thought I was a burglar.

Shortly afterwards, the siblings, who thank God had recognized me in the meantime, banished me to Gaara on the roof, who, according to a Kankuro who is half asleep, "never sleeps". It was impossible, but it didn't matter.
I didn't grumble and sat next to a block of ice all night. I wasn't allowed to talk, just freeze my ass off. Well then, now we were on our way. Our trip wasn't really interesting.There was very little talk and the area was not particularly attractive. Then, on the second evening after we left, the city gates of Konoha came within sight. I was really happy. At last it was time. I don't think I'd ever been this excited, but I also knew I would meet some people from jam that Kay had sent to other countries.
But before we even passed the city gate, the Kazekage pulled me aside.

"Hey what's that supposed to be?"

I looked at him really blankly. To teach me how to behave, the three of them had done a long time ago.

Without a word, Gaara pressed a headband into my hand. "You are here as Suna-Nin."

I was stunned. I didn't know what to do. Tears stood in my eyes with a "Thank you!" I put my headband on and fell around the Kazekagen's neck.

Suppressing tears was pointless. I finally really belonged.
