Chapter 1
The two of them turned to look at their sand ridden village as they left the gates of Sunagakure for an important mission (vacation) in Konohagakure. It took the two a while to convince their brother to let them do this and to make it seem less conspicuous they had to disguise it as a mission to improve bonds with Konoha.
"Quit gawking at the gate and lets go" Temari told her younger brother Kankuro
"The only reason you wanted to go was so you could rape Shikamaru" replied Kankuro only to get the shit beaten into him by a giant fan.
The rest of the trip was silent and the only thing to keep them from murdering each other was the sight of the gates of hell…. I uh mean Konoha. They pulled out their passes and entered konoha, then headed for the hokage's office.
They walked up the long spiraling stairs, stopped at the door to her office and knocked.
The door opened and two other shinobi walked out as they went into the room and sat down. Tsunade looked at her newly arrived
guests with great enthusiasm then she said "What is this I hear about an important mission to improve ties with konoha?" I had no choice
but to reply to this by saying "Gaara sent us here to stay for a few months and get to know the village's inhabitants but I suppose you
already knew that." Tsunade grinned maliciously and summoned Shizune to find us a place to stay and to make sure that we stayed
separated on Gaara's request. It didn't take Shizune long to get Kankuro situated but as for me she turned with the same grin Tsunade
had and said "I know the perfect place to put you and it just so happens that he lives alone." "Your going to stay in Nara Shikamaru's
house whether he likes it or not" and with this she dragged me all the way to a stunningly nice looking house near a lake with a bridge and
a sakura tree. Shizune walked up the steps with me trailing behind and knocked on the door. I heard a crash and some feet running
hrough the grass. To my surprise when I looked to the west of the house I saw him run down the hill and jump into the lake. Apparently
Shizune saw it to because she screamed and started at a quick pace toward the lake where he had jumped. She looked down into the
water and said "Did you think you could get away or are you just stupid." "You remember what Tsunade said so there is no point in
trying to run away." He slowly got out of the lake and walked up to me with a glare that even I wasn't aware he could do. Shizune said to
Shikamaru "you already know the details of the mission Tsunade assigned to you so I suggest you do it correctly for this will determine
the fate of both Konoha and Suna" then she left us standing on his porch. He looked at me and said " You troublesome woman you made
me break my window so just get inside and be quite before I end up killing myself" then he opened the door and we walked in.
