(A/N: hello peepz. This is my first real fanfic so pls be kind enough to R &R)
Chapter 1
A certain blonde chuunin with a black haired jounin hurriedly jump throughout the entire forest in an attempt to catch a rampaging person riding on the back of a humongous white bird. They jump across the entire forest underestimated by the guy's intimidating smirk. They hold an always ready kunai in their hands in the occasion that the person would engage in powerful offenses.
"Nimpo, kamaitachi!!!" the blond kunoichi cried out as she opened her massive fan to send out strong wind that cut randomly throughout the entire forest which snapped and slashed nearby trees several meters away. With cunning reflexes and impressive speed, the blonde person with his majestic white bird disappears in an instant as an evasive move to avoid the hazardous wind.
"Hey, Temari, don't push it or we'll have no more trees to jump on." The black haired jounin inquired.
"Whatever, Shikamaru, I'm just trying to calm him down." Temari shouted back
"That's what you call calming down?! Quit it or you'll make him more bad." Shikamaru said in the attempt of stopping Temari into sending out another tree cutting wind.
"Fine," Temari said grudgingly putting back her fan in the strap hanging leisurely at her back.
"We should probably stop; he's already out of our sight." Shikamaru said stopping at a nearby tree branch patting and patting for he has been at this for hours. Momentarily, Temari also stops at a nearby tree branch just a few meters away from Shikamaru.
"Looks like he escaped." Temari said of the obvious looking at Shikamaru smirking as if she had succeeded in that dangerous chase scene.
"So, that guy just now was an akatsuki." Temari said
"Judging from the black robe dotted with red clouds, I'd have to say yes. It appears that he was a long range type of shinobi with an unusual technique." Shikamaru said
"We should probably head back to Konoha. It's clear now that this mission cannot be finished with just the two of us. We need backup." Temari said heading back from where they came from. At this, Shikamaru does the same and heads back towards Konoha.
Not long after, Shikamaru and Temari arrived at the majestic gate of Konoha. With their first step at the gravel rock floor,
"Hey, Shikamaru-kun, Temari-san you both are together now aren't you???" Naruto said smirking slightly.
At this, a slight frown crept slowly against Shikamaru's mouth.
"Actually, we were just sent on a mission together by Tsunade-sama..." Shikamaru answered.
"...Which was completely out of our control" Temari continued out frowning slightly.
Moments later, the sky is covered out by heavy dark clouds hovering around. Lightning tore through the sky like an arrow shooting to strike a person miles away. Thunder's deafening noise struck everyone's eardrums travelling through the air in the speed of sound. Suddenly as thunder clapped and lightning struck, rain started to fall from the heavy clouds and bombarded the gravel rock floor splattering simultaneously.
"We'd better get inside. It's already started to rain" Shikamaru suggested heading towards the houses
"That sounds good." Temari agreed forwarding to her apartment.
"I think that would be best." Naruto said placing his jacket to his head to shield him from the rain that seemed to create noise that sounded similar to a lizard skittering through crunchy dry leaves of autumn.
----------------------------------------
Shikamaru's house
'Phew I'm glad that was over with' Shikamaru thought in his mind walking across his house. His dad sits in a chair reading a book and his mom walks around to greet Shikamaru
"Shikamaru! I don't care what it is that made you late but in this house dinner is at 7"
"Yeah, I was out doing a mission that apparently we failed." Shikamaru said
" We? Who was with you" Shikamaru's father asked
"Oh, just Temari" He answered
"Ah, that girl you hang around all the time has become your partner in a mission huh???" His father inquired
"Whatever, I'm going to my room to rest and freshen up a bit" Shikamaru said
As Shikamaru enters his room, he takes of his Jounin vest and gently hangs it at the back of his door. He went straight to his bathroom, took of his clothes and freshened nicely with a refreshing hot bath. While soaked and wet with water, he thought 'yeah my parents are right, lately we've hang around all the time. But why?? That's the question, why??? I don't know but there's just something about her that gives me a weird sensation when I'm near her- wait a sec, did I just say that. How could I ever thought of something like that. No the real question is, why I even thought of thinking that. Normally something like that wouldn't even cross my mind I mean, she's scarier than my mom. Well, hopefully tomorrow would be more pleasant'
Shikamaru finished freshening up, his wet body rested there as he turned off the hot water, his drenched hair dripped of his bath water. He took a dry towel and thoroughly dried himself of all water. The moonlight streamed through the curtains in his room. He got dressed with his sleeping clothes and went straight to bed.
'Man I'm really tired from that last mission I think I could use some Z. Don't wanna be all uncharged and lifeless in the morning.' The drowsy Jounin said going to his bed and carelessly unfolding his wide blanket, to be positioned so that it would shield him from the cold night wind.
Later, he took his blanket off of him and crept to the window where the storm brewed. He looked out thinking about Temari
----------------------------------------
Temari's apartment
Temari entered her apartment feeling all exhausted and tired. Hunch backed and with half closed eyes she walked towards the bed. She took of her footwear and slowly withdrew her fan and held it against her hand as to that it touched the wood planked floor. She sat there on her bed exhausted and bothered as if something disturbed her from a while ago.
'Why can't I stop thinking about that cry baby. Everywhere I look he always pops in my head! Okay, okay, okay get a hold of yourself, Temari, think of...think of something else other then- dare I say it, SHI-KA-MAR-U.' Temari thought cursing herself from all this
"TEMARI!!!" called out a voice followed by loud footsteps. Lightning drench his body with light
"Yes Kankuro???" Temari replied
"What is this mud on the floor. I come back here everyday tired and I do not want to see a dirty floor and worst of all, it's mud not sand like what I'm used to, it's wet soggy dirty mud." Kankuro cried out
"Ah must be from the last mission. This time, we were chasing an Akatsuki" Temari said
"Who??? You and Shikamaru??" Kankuro said
"Yeah???"
"OOOH, looks like Temari's got herself a boyfriend."
"He's not a boyfriend." Temari growled back stomping on the wood floor
"Well, whatever the case but I want the mud on the floor cleaned up OK." Kankuro demanded
"Whatever. Like you're the boss." Temari shouted back at the Jounin getting a towel and slowly cleaning up all the mud stained floor grudgingly
Finished cleaning, Temari walked towards her room and into her bed. She sat on her bed sad thinking 'What if Kankuro was right, what if, I really like that Shikamaru. If so, then what do I like about him??? What? He's a cry baby, he's very lazy and he's not even romantic who would like a guy like that??? I'm just thinking all this, I don't really like him. He is just someone I met, he is not important. I am Suna's tough girl I will not be softened by this person. Love makes people weak and I am not weak.'
She was bathed in moonlight looking at the storm that brewed outside. She paid attention to all the lightning that tore through the skies, the rain that bombarded the windows, the thunder that popped her ears and the few visible stars that struggled to twinkle in its own light.
'This is just like Shikamaru crying his head out- WHAAT, why did I think that stupid thought!!! Besides I haven't seen him cry for a pretty long time.' Temari growled at herself.
'I wonder if Shikamaru's looking at the storm now??' Temari thought. Her romantic side taking over. She stayed there looking at the devastating storm cursing herself every time SHE would think of HIM every time Temari would think of Shikamaru.
----------------------------------------
The scene ends in a split screen video of THEM looking outside of the window. One looking from HER chair and the other sitting on HIS bed the video becomes static and unmovable, romantic music starts to play and the picture gradually darkens, fading into a pitch black scene.
