Sand Siblings
The relationship between Gaara, Kankuro and Temari is one that has it's downs, more downs, and finally looking up.

Gaara, being the ultimate shinobi of Sunagakure that he is, holds a huge amount of chakra within him taken from the one-tailed demon that resides in him, Shuukaku. Because of this, he doesn't only instill fear in the hearts of the civilians that reside in their village, but his family has also begun to fear him.

During the first arc of Naruto, there was a tense atmosphere between the three siblings, as Temari and Kankuro usually approach Gaara with caution, in fear that he might get mad and lose control.

That tense relationship will soon begin to change after Gaara's battle with Naruto. While Temari and Kankuro were taking him away from the battle field, Gaara said, "Temari... Kankuro... I'm sorry." Later on, during the second arc, you'll see a definite improvement in the relationship between the three. Instead of concern that stems out of fear, both Temari and Kankuro worry about him as Gaara, their little brother.
