A/N: A random fic I created out of boredomness.

I do not own Naruto and gang. Duh.

"Temari?"

"Hmm?"

"Why do you like Shikamaru?"

The blonde suddenly coughed violently, spilling the cup of water down her front. She reached back and thumped herself on the back, coughing the last of the water out of her lungs.

"Gaara!" she exclaimed, "don't ask that kind of question while someone is drinking something! And you!" she pointed accusingly at the laughing Kankuro behind the redhead. "Don't plant such ridiculous ideas in our younger brother's head!"

"I…" he burst out laughing again, clutching his sides. "I didn't! I swear, Tem! Oh, you should've seen the look on your face…" He rolled on the floor, laughing and helpless as Temari kicked him in the ribs. "Ow, Tem! Kick him, not me! I didn't say anything!"

"Kankuro didn't say anything," Gaara repeated, vouching for his older brother cum prankster. "I just made the observation myself. Ever since Shukaku was removed, I've been more aware of my surroundings, and of you two."

Temari looked at the Kazekage, making sure he wasn't joking. Then again, this is Gaara she was dealing with.

She sat down suddenly on the couch. "Oh damn, is it that obvious?" she asked aloud, her face turning pink.

"Oh, so you admit you like that lazy ass?" Kankuro said, rubbing where her foot connected with his chest and ignoring the death glare his sister is sending him. "You practically stalked him and drooled whenever someone even mentions him. You also talk in this very high-pitched fangirl voice, like this: Oh, Shikamaru, you are so bloody amazing and cool..." He fluttered his eyelids at Temari and cracked up again, running away from the furious and red-faced girl who is threatening and chasing him.

Gaara has a feeling that he wouldn't get his answer anytime soon, or at least, until Kankuro was well and truly beaten up, and probably unconscious.

A/N: I'd probably make another 'Why do you like so-and-so?' fic, I had fun writing this one.

Review if you want, I don't mind, even if they are flames.
