Naruto is not mine...

"Where the hell is he? I've been looking for him all over." , Temari huffed as she scan the crowd present at at the grand ballroom of the Mizukage's Palace. It was the end of a 5-day quarterly meeting of the hidden villages on the rebuilding after the war. The five villages had maintained support with each other as everyone tried to recover. And tonight, the Mizukage prepared a little banquet so as to pat everyone on the back for a job well-done.

"What are you squirming about?", a familiar lazy voice came calling to her. "We were finally given a chance for a breather after those days of non-stop meetings and reports and here you are, unable to let go of stress even for a while...", the famous genius continued.

As glad as she was seeing the Konoha nin, Temari returned to her prior concern."

"Gaara, I can't find him. All of the Kages are there except from him. He should be sitting with them.", Temari expressed.

Shikamaru sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I thought I saw him a while ago. C'mon, I'll show you.", as he started to walk to a certain direction.

They were now heading towards a spare balcony connected to the main ballroom. A few guests can be seen lingering here and there but certainly, this area is not where the main event is. At the end of the hall, in the balcony, Temari could spot two shadows and muffled voices. She could figure her little brother's voice as well as a soft female one. Gaara and a female...

"Wait.", Temari halted as she reached for Shikamaru's arms. The lazy shinobi turned in response as he tried to read Temari's expression.

"Hm?"

"Is that Gaara with someone?", she pulled Shikamaru closer and moved closer to wall, so as not to be in direct sight of the balcony. She also started whispering just in case they'll be actually disturbing something.

"What are you doing-", Shikamaru is a little puzzled.

'Shhh... Whose he with? Gaara..", Temari further pestered.

"Geez.. I think I saw him with Hinata earlier... But that was a while ago so maybe that is a different-" Shimakamaru stopped as soon as he saw that Temari was stealthily trying to take a peek, eyes widening before returning to him.

"Oh my god Shikamaru, it is the Hyuga...", she is displaying a great amount of distress? excitement? Honestly, Shikamaru couldn't tell. He sighed.

"As I was saying..."

"Let's go, they might sense us. Oh my god, my brother is talking to a girl!" Now, Shikamaru is sure that she is indeed excited. Women, he thought.

So both of them quickly tuned away from the balcony, Temari practically dragging Shikamaru. A mischievous grin plastered in Temari's face.

Someone's gonna be teased tonight.
