'Shogi'

"Mendokuse, I won again," Shikamaru yawned.

Temari huffed, "Again?"

She never won against him, so why did she keep playing? Why did she try when she knew that she would inevitably fail?

He sighed, scratching the back of his head lazily, "Yare, yare."

Temari smiled, "Arigato."

Shikamaru looked at her, puzzled, "For what?"

The truth was, she liked to watch him think – he would close his eyes real tight, then relax them, putting his hands in that odd position resting at his stomach. Then his eyes would snap open, and he would make a witty move.

"I won again. Mataku, you would think that you don't even try, Temari."

"Again."

Shikamaru yawned, "Doshite ka? I'm tired."

"Again," she repeated with more force in her voice.

He looked at her strangely, "Doshite?"

Temari smirked, "If I told you, you would call me 'mendokuse.'"

Shikamaru gave her his signature smart-ass smirk, "Baka, you already are, Temari."

I LUFF this pairing. I'll probably do a OneShot... when I feel like it. xD
