A/N: Yep a one-shot xD It's a request from my friend, who loves shikatema :D So i decided to write her this oneshot.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Life And Death
She lay, eyes closed on the ground. Her fringe covered her solemn eyes . Shikamaru stood not so far away, staring, wide-eyed at her. Tears began to flood his eyes, but he wouldn't let them escape down his cheeks. He looked at the rouged ninja laughing above him.
"Looks like I struck a nerve! Hahahha" He laughed frantically when seeing the salt water in Shikamaru's eyes.
'Why….why did it have to be her?'
His laughter soon died down when a knife pierced through his head. The ninja stared at it between his eyes while falling backwards towards the forest floor. Temari lay, still not moving. The rain poured down on him as he waited.. and waited for her to get back up.
"This is the second time I watch a close comrade died in front of my eyes. I had the power to stop it, but I never did… I never stopped them from dying!" He fell to his knees and weeped, fists dug into the soil. He crawled over to Temari and looked down at her. He stroked her fringe away and smiled a bit, but then frowned and stood up and walked.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you." Those words cut him out of his dilemma, and he turned to her in shock.
"You.. you're alive…" He stared down at her, and blinked, allowing the tears to fall freely. He sat next to her again and wiped his tears.
"Shikamaru, are you.. Why are yo-" He silenced her by placing his index finger on her lip. Her eyes widened and she stared at him angrily. Before she managed to speak, his lips touched hers and she felt the tears from his cheeks mix with her own, subconscious ones. After a little while, her eyes closed softly and she kissed him back.
A/N: Yea that's it ^^ R&R, i have to be criticized!
