Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto, as it belongs to the wonderful Masashi Kishimoto. If I did own Naruto, it definately wouldn't be very popular because coming up with plots is not my strong point. Period.
If my oneshot sucks, well then that's your opinion. I think it is pretty good, for me writing it at midnight waiting for the internet to work. Before I ramble anymore and turn your brains to mush, I ask you to bear with me and enjoy it as much as you feel like.
A bunny…an ice-cream cone…a dragon…
Just staring up at the clouds and finding patterns was creating a peaceful mood for the spunky Suna nin. Actually, it seemed to be a part of her daily routine when in Konoha. All that Pineapple Head, Shikamaru, wanted to do was laze about and it seemed like his decision was set in stone and he could not be swayed once his mind was made up. To her, it was all very troublesome indeed. But, that was how she saw it only because when in Konoha she had to stick with him and hear troublesome 24/7. How did his parents deal with it. Wait…scratch that, how did Yoshino deal with it. How did she deal with it times two. With both Shikamaru and Shikaku on her hands, it was amazing she didn't ban the word from the both of them. Then again, not hearing it wouldn't feel right. Without hearing "Troublesome this", or "Troublesome that" you might think the world was spinning backwards. That or it was a sign of the apocalypse. Both would be odd though.
Temari spared herself from delving deeper into the matter by gazing back up at the clouds, as her lazy companion had continued to do while she was thinking.
Another bunny…A chicken…a pineapple…
Temari snickered quietly and turned to face Shikamaru. He was already turned towards her, an eyebrow quirked upwards, with a question in his eyes.
"What is it, troublesome woman?"
There it was again, troublesome. Temari was sure her eyebrow twitched slightly and pondered once more on how Yoshino Nara kept her sanity.
"Just that I saw your head in the clouds. Well, more literally than usual anyways."
The quirked eyebrow rose, and in turn Temari turned and pointed to the pineapple cloud as it drifted slowly.
"Troublesome woman."
She'd had it. Temari picked up her fan from beside her and whacked Shikamaru quickly in the head.
"Shikamaru Nara," she began, "I do have a name you know. It does indeed start with a T, but it is most certainly not 'Troublesome woman'. So I suggest you start using it, for it is not as troublesome as you may think it is, Lazy-ass."
When she received no response from the male, Temari huffed and stood preparing to return to the hotel she was staying at. Walking away slowly she was stopped by said male speaking to her.
"Temari."
Hearing her real name pass through his lips, Temari turned, mouth slightly agape, toward the man, who she found just mere inches from her face.
"Did you just…?"
He smirked.
"It's troublesome, but I don't want to lose more brain cells from being hit in the head by your fan. After all, I am the genius ninja of Konoha and I must keep up that reputation."
With that he turned away, but only after giving her a peck on the cheek before leaving.
After a few moments, Temari came out of her stupor and continued on her way to the hotel, but not after one last glance at the clouds.
That bunny again…and a large, fluffy, white heart.
