Author Notes:
Hey guys, welcome once more to another fanfiction written by me, narutofanfreak22. This is my first ShikaXTemari fanfiction, set about I'd say between the time after Shippuuden Ends. I apologize for this but as of now, Hazy Moon will be taken off my list of stories I've written until I can come up with the muse for the story again, I haven't got enough reviews for it, so this is why I am stumped and will be removing it, it will be replaced by Shadow Wind and my SasukeXSakura story, Phoenix. Sorry for those who did like it!
Warnings: Rated M for heavy lemons, bad language, some violence and anything else I can think of these two could get into. Oh yeah one last thing, spoilers for those who haven't read the Shippuuden Series Manga yet perhaps.
Preview:
Shikamaru realizes after he is saved by Temari and then returns the
favour for her during the Shintenshin Problem long ago, that he has
developed feelings for the Blonde Sand Kunoichi. Temari also finds
out why every time she is around the Lazy Shadow Nin her heart skips
a beat and she feels this strange feeling in the pit of her stomach
all the time. Fate brings the Wind Mistress and Lazy Shadow Nin
together years down the road, Shikamaru being 18 years old and Temari
being 21 that leaves the two trapped in an underground cave system.
Can the two reveal to each other or will one of them think it's not
worth their time.
I
do not own Naruto or any of its characters, they all belong to his
awesomeness, Kishimoto-sama who is a god (and I know you all agree
with me, all you Naruto Fans that he is a god. LOL

Thank you for your time, please enjoy the story….
Chapter One: Lazy Thoughts
He lay in bed being his usual lazy self, you would think after all the years of being a Shinobi, he would break his bad habit of laziness, but that was one thing Nara Shikamaru was in capable of.
It had been 2 to 3 years or so since he last saw the one of his thoughts that had constantly plagued what dreams the Master of laziness did have. Sometimes they were nice dreams, dreams that would end with Shikamaru laying in bed and having to deal with the after effects of such dreams, and then there were times that the dreams had become full nightmares, making him wake up in a cold sweat.
These were dreams Shikamaru had not like one bit. They would leave him with insomnia for days at times, which would receive him with tongue lashings from Tsunade, or from his team members. It had also been 2 to 3 years since Naruto Uzumaki had brought Sasuke Uchiha, badly injured but alive back to Konohagakure. Shikamaru along with some of the other Konoha 11 had been shocked at Naruto's method, but were glad that he and the tracking team had managed to bring home Sasuke, at the cost of Sai's death though. Another thing that Shikamaru had something to think about; was the anniversary of his Sensei's death, Asuma Sarutobi.
Shikamaru sighed as he looked up at the ceiling and decided to get out of bed, even if it wasn't sunrise yet. Grabbing his pack of smokes, he walked to the balcony of his apartment and fiddling for his lighter, he lit one of his smokes, and took a long drag off it, breathing in the toxic smoke as he looked up at the night sky, that was beginning to lighten out slowly.
It was so troublesome, having to wake up early enough to grade Ninja Academy papers. Shikamaru had taken a job as a Teacher when he reached the rank of Jounin. Tsunade had insisted he take the job, because of the lack of teachers, due to the final battle between the remnants of Akatsuki, the Rogue Rain Ninja under Pein's leadership, and Otogakure, leader by Orochimaru/Kabuto.
Shikamaru really had hated that the most, having to put his Shadow Jutsus to use in the war, but he had a duty to do. Shikamaru let out a puff of smoke with a sigh and muttered,
"So troublesome…man I hate kids sometimes…" He took another drag of his cigarette before putting it out seeing it had almost been finished. Holding in his breath for another 2 minutes, he let out the last stream of smoke from his mouth. He then leaned against the wall next to the balcony door as he looked up at the moon.
It as slightly cold, for him, seeing all he was dressed in at the moment, was a pair of shorts and no shirt at all. He was glad where he lived, he had privacy, no one would see his attire, or lack there of. Shikamaru was lazy, and if he felt like being lazy and not wear clothing in his own house, which he obtained at the age of 17, after all his years of living with his father and mother both, he would damn well wear nothing at all if he wanted to.
Shikamaru ran a hand through his messy dark brown hair, that was down at the moment, and yawned, he should get those papers graded, what papers he had left to do that is.
Shikamaru then walked back into his room, shutting the balcony door, and went directly to his desk, which was piled up with of about 10 to 15 papers, all either written tests or homework that he had made his students do. Sighing, he then got to work, every so often checking the time; he didn't want to be late for his first class he had to teach.
Sometimes he wished Godaime would give him a break, why was she always so dependent on him to do things? He was just one Jounin out of many of Konohagakure after all. 'Women…' thought Shikamaru to himself as he marked a paper he was grading with a failure, the student had messed up a lot of the questions on the test, Shikamaru hated failing his students, but he had to be tough on them.
"There…that's the last troublesome paper to grade…and not a moment to spare, I have time to shower, if I feel like taking one, and to eat before I have to go to class…" Mumbled Shikamaru lazily as he stretched and yawned again, moving his hands behind his head as he looked up at the ceiling and began staring off into space and began uttering how bored he was, and began complaining for a while longer before getting up and removing the rest of his clothing, headed for the shower.
As he walked there, he suddenly began thinking about someone, a certain someone at that. Stopping in his tracks for a moment as he reached the bathroom, and began fiddling with the water dials for the shower. A slight pinkness began to form on his cheeks and nose as he thought of this person.
The person was none other then the Wind Mistress, Temari No Sabaku, elder sister of the Kazekage of Sunagakure. She was so beautiful in his eyes, the way she joked with him, her hair, those dark green pools that were her eyes, and either darkened when she was angry, sad or sick, or lit up whenever she was happy and or laughing. What was also impressive about Temari to him was her hair, and the fact she was almost exactly like him, when it came to intelligence, but she was his complete opposite when it came to attitude and what not.
Shikamaru slipped into the water, which had warmed up as he continued to think back to all the incidents that he and her had to face, the most memorable was the day he had thought he would die at the tender age of 12 years old, when he had to face his first real opponent, Tayuya. He had not expected to be saved, but there she was, beautiful, standing with her Giant fan at the ready to send wave after wave of wind at the opponent in front of them.
Shikamaru grunted as he allowed the warm water to rinse away the soap he used to clean himself, and his hair, which this action made his hair stick to his back, he then began scrubbing the rest of himself. Attempting to also control a certain erection of his, which he undoubtedly began to have while thinking of the Desert Bloom of Sunagakure at this very moment.
He let out a small groan as he touched himself down there, he hadn't really done this in a long time, well not since Ino dumped him a year ago, to go be with this weird guy who had managed to escape Akatsuki's wrath and his near death experience. He was far from being a virgin that much was for sure. After a few minutes of 'taking' care of himself, he finished washing himself and got out of the shower.
It had hurt him the most when Ino, someone he had obviously cared about a lot, had been caught cheating on him, he had seen it for himself; Chouji had actually showed him the truth about the rumors that had spread around Konohagakure, which Shikamaru had ignored up to that point. Shikamaru had been quite upset, getting into an argument with Ino over this incident; he had never trusted women after what Ino did.
It was obvious; he wasn't that great, if Ino had cheated on him with another man. Apparently she had gotten 'tired' of his lazy attitude, which Shikamaru had told her off by saying he was fed up of her anyway, flirting with all the other guys, and called her a few other names, of course this had also ended with a fist fight, and had sent him to the hospital with a broken rib, and a small concussion by the time he had finished the fight and told her it was totally over as of then.
But a few days after being released, Ino had come to apologize; Shikamaru had ignored her for the most part. Undoubtedly Chouji had forced her to come and apologize to him, not that Shikamaru cared anyway. Was he that terrible? Who knew? Shikamaru knew though he wouldn't trust women again at least for awhile, he had put as much of an effort in his relationship with Ino as the Lazy nin felt she deserved.
'Can'tlet the past hurt me anymore, it would be too troublesome anyway…' Thought Shikamaru as he towel dried his hair, and quickly combed it and placed it in his usual high ponytail. Wrapped in just a towel, he then stalked out of the bathroom, bare footed back to his bedroom, checking on the time, he sighed lazily, he pondered just calling in sick today, to go watch the clouds, nothing ever exciting happened at the school, other then having to catch or stop a few kids from skipping his usually 'boring' classes with his Shadow Possession Technique (Kagemane No Jutsu), which the kids hated that he used it to stop them, and then got a dentition for attempt to skip class during school hours.
Shikamaru quickly pulled on his usual fishnet shirt, a black t-shirt over it, his Jounin Vest and a clean pair of grey boxers and black slacks. After attaching his shuriken and kunai blade holster to his leg, the leg that usually used the hand on that particular side with, he then grabbed the folder with the graded papers, placed his Hitai-ate around his arm, and then his zori sandals upon his feet, and headed out the door of his apartment.
He knew he would be 10 minutes early, but it gave him time to plan out what he would be teaching the kids today, before the little brats showed up and attempted to terrorize their 'Shikamaru-sensei' by doing their usual stupidities.
Shikamaru let out a yawn as he walked down the street; it was probably now 7:20 am in the morning. Ninja Academy wouldn't start until at least 8 am. It was a drag but someone had to do the teaching, these possible future Shinobi weren't going to learn the ways of the Ninja by picking their noses or something.
He passed by Choji's apartment that he shared with his girlfriend, that he had met a year ago, around the same time Ino had broke Shikamaru's heart by the looks of it. Shikamaru had forgotten the girl's name, but knew the girl cared about the big guy a lot, and apparently had violet eyes, that looked similar to one of those Hyuuga, or something of that sort.
He heard his best friend's voice talking loudly to someone through the open window, Shikamaru attempted to not eavesdrop as he walked down the street. He was more then glad someone had given his best friend a chance at love. Sometimes Shikamaru had worried about him, knowing most girls these days, all they cared about were skinny muscled men and all.
Getting back to Shikamaru's thoughts of Temari No Sabaku, she was a radiant desert Goddess in his eyes. Why hadn't she been his first? Maybe it was due to the fact she was 3 years his senior? Who knew anyway, right? Suddenly he felt himself begin to grow hard again, and quickly willed himself to calm down, and stop thinking of Temari at a moment like this, it would be very awkward if he walked into his class with a rather large boner, and he didn't want to freak the children out more then was necessary.
Shikamaru reached the Academy in less than 10 minutes time, which was a miracle for someone like him. He usually walked pretty slowly, but for some odd reason, he was early. Sighing to himself, "What a drag, well…what happens, happens I guess, gives me a chance to have a tiny nap while waiting for the kids." He muttered as he immediately went down the hall to the class he usually taught the Ninja Academy students in.
He walked past Kurenai Yuuhi, who usually taught the Academy kunoichis about how to act as a proper woman or some garbage like that, she had apparently been the lover of his Sensei before he had died, and the mother of Shikamaru's Godson as well. The tike was now in his toddler years, and he looked a cross between his father and mother both, in respect to the child having red eyes like his mother, and both parent's dark hair.
Shikamaru peered into the class room, "Konnichiwa Kurenai-Chan." He said to her, knowing that he was allowed to drop the sensei part that he was 18 years of age and all.
The raven haired kunoichi turned and spoke, "Ohayo Shikamaru-Kun…how was your night?"
Shikamaru rubbed the back of his neck for a moment as he said, "Same as always Kurenai, how's little Xander these days?"
"He's doing well; he's been asking when he can see his 'Uncle' Shikamaru again, I told him he had to wait until you were not so busy."
Shikamaru smirked a little and then said, slightly lazily, "Tell him I'll see him as soon as I get the energy to, I better go to my class, before the monsters, err I mean children start showing up."
Kurenai chuckled and shook her head, and said, "Good luck."
Shikamaru waved his hand at her, and then walked down the hallway to his class. He was the homeroom teacher and also the teacher that taught about Shinobi History and Strategies. Tsunade had made sure to give him the most boring, yet interesting subjects to teach.
She had believed him to be good at planning strategies and therefore teaching the subject to the students in his class.
Shikamaru sighed and finally managed to reach his classroom, and quietly slipped in. Only some of the students had arrived, the ones that loved to spend their energies on nothing but studying and always being on time to impress their Sensei.
Shikamaru was not one for flattery really, though he did appreciate some of his 'good' students having a perfect attendance and not being tardy like some people used to be like when they were kids. Remind you of anyone?
Shikamaru went to his desk and sat down, and placed the folder of papers on the desk and lifted his legs up to have them lay on his desk while he closed his eyes, quickly yawning before slipping into a brief cat nap.
He would definitely need one today, if he was going to take on the day, full of classes and all. As he slept into a temporary unconscious state of mind, he began to dream slightly of a certain blonde Kunoichi.
He wondered when her next visit to Konohagakure would be. Not that he would care, Temari was the most troublesome of all women that came into his life, she always seemed to have an attitude around people, plus she scared the crap out of him sometimes, if he hadn't thought that before, he would think it again, that woman was more scarier then his mother.
Wrapping his hands behind his head as he dozed for a bit before the sound of laughing kids walking in and the door slamming behind them startled him awake. As usual the kids had to always wake their sensei up when he was trying to have a small cat nap.
Grumbling a few muttered curses to himself he got up to his seat, "Good morning everyone…I trust you've completed some of your assignments for your other classes, troublesome they might be, report cards will be coming out soon so it will be double time for the tests and projects I want you to work on for the next few weeks, they will be affecting your grades on this particular report card."
He then heard groaning and mumbling about how they hated this time of the year. Shikamaru smiled at them and said, "Ah ah, no complaining, only I'm allowed to complain in this classroom, heh, you have until its time to go to your morning classes to study, finish up your homework or whatever it is, quietly." He made sure to stress on the quietly part when he said that.
His students all agreed, then Shikamaru remembered to take attendance of all who showed up, "Role Call first before I let you do your thing, Daimasu Akina?" He then heard one of the kids saying present and he then continued on with his He then checked off the name, he then called out another name, "Hyuuga Azami…" The small white eyed Hyuuga Girl, with a bandage on her forehead spoke up shyly, reminding Shikamaru of one of his fellow shinobi, Hinata Hyuuga oh so much at times.
"Here…Shikamaru-sensei…" Shikamaru gave the small girl a lazy smirk as he said, "Good…Kigamaru Kohana?" "Here…" Said the girl. Shikamaru then continued calling out, until he came onto one of his most problematic of students, who was also the Class Bully, and the one that Shikamaru had usually had to use his Shadow Possession Jutsu on to freeze the boy in his place, before he could escape,
"Kirtarno Masashi?" He repeated the name, before he finally heard a gruff, and grumpy like voice speak out, "Yeah Sensei I'm here, big deal anyway…"
Shikamaru's face became slightly red in anger at how rude the boy was speaking to him, but Shikamaru calmly spoke, "Masashi that is no way to talk to your sensei, do you want another detention with Gai-sensei?"
Gai had decided to retire teaching Genin and return to teaching Academy leveled students, seeing he had fulfilled teaching Lee, Neji and Tenten, who had all become Jounin a long with Shikamaru and a few others after the Akatsuki incidents. Apparently whenever Gai was given students for detention, he would make them work on their discipline, in his own usual goofy way of course.
The look on the boy's face quickly changed from grumpy to frightened as he quickly said in his grumpy voice, "No Shikamaru-sensei…anything but that please…Gomen Nasai…sensei."
Shikamaru smirked, and said, "Good, now that the troublesome attendance has been taken, you can do your thing, until homeroom is done." He waved them off and quickly went back to his seat and yawned before stretching out his legs and dozing off again, dreaming of a certain Sunagakure goddess of his, that he would make her his, eventually.
