Well i got this idea from the song "You're still the one" by Shania Twain. I loved the song and listening to the words I thought it would be ideal for the whole Temari X Shikamaru case.. If you want to know what I'm talking about.. I suggest you look up the lyrics on google or if requested, I'll put them in the last chapter.. So anwho..
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, any associated characters or the syouong... nor anyother thing that people can claim... I do own the plot line to this story however XD
Two ninja walked down the street, treading softly on the damp ground below them. Their faces came in and out of view as the shadows from the moonlight rearranged their features. Clutching kunai as a safety measure, they strided towards the largest building in the area. Darkness had settled over the surface, leaving only the street lamps as a guide. They approached the building where two men stood, eyeing them wearily.
"I am Hariku Byoji" stated the taller of the two. The guards nodded allowing him pass.
"I am Darigo Kayou" stated the Kunoichi, stowing her kunai in her long shirt. Upon entering, the two ninja walked briskily up the stairs and hesitated for a fraction of a second before knocking and entering the dark room. The only light seemed to be coming from a fire at the end of the room, eluminating the many figures seated around a long table.
"You're late" stated a man sitting at the top of the table. He wore a long black cloak that drifted to the floor and had two bright blue eyes. His hair was covered by a hood that masked any distinct features. The two nodded in apology and took the empty seats.
"Now that you are all here, I would like to discuss something with you" he said, voice ringing out in the silence.
The fire crackled behind him, giving him the impression of a demon.
"As most of you will know, our very own Sabaku No Temari, the kazekage's sister" he said glacing at Gaara who was seated to his right, looking uncomfortable for the first time in his life, "has decided that she wants to live in Konoha with a Nara Shikamaru."
There were gasps of treachery around the table, causing a light din to be made.
"Quiet" the man at the top of the table commanded.
"But Narishi-san, that is impossible.. what about our culture and history" asked a Brunette shinobi sitting a few seats away. It was easy to tell that he was afraid of Narishi.. Though that was to be expected. Narishi's past, which was known to only a select few, was not a happy one. He had kept a sterdy reputation for a long time.
Killing was a game.
"Yes, hence why we are here.. They cannot be together... I will personally not allow it!" he said loudly, speaking more to himself. Gaara shuffled a little. Though he may be Kazekage, he did have limited power. The board of governor's, who had given him his position, could just as easily take it away. Attempting a fight with the head governor would be suicidle thus he kept his silence.
He needed to get to Temari as soon as this meeting was over and make her flee.
He would not allow her to die.
"I am in town for about a month and I will have all the evidence I need to-" he stopped short before continuing.
"That should stop anything from indangering our pure blood line.. Never before have I heard of such treachury and filth" he spat in disgust while other members agreed, nodding their heads in unison.
Temari walked along the streets of Konoha, looking around for any sign of her fiancè. She found him on the usual hill, hair as messy as ever and his clothes a little dirty from the damp grass.
"Hey Crybaby" she yelled as she reached his comfort zone, waking him up from his sleep.
"Troublesome" he muttered as he let out a large yawn. He sat up and supported himself with the palms of his hands as she sat down beside him. Though it was nightfall, they had made it a tradition to come to the lonely hilltop to star gaze awhile. They both enjoyed the rare silence.
"You know right now, there is a meeting in Suna about us" she whispered awkwardly.
It was a subject they didn't like to discuss for obvious reasons. They knew that it was about their future together and no matter what they might tell other people.. They knew that it had to be together or not at all.
"Hnn" he replied, staring up at the purple sky.
"What if they won't allow it?"she said finally voicing her worries that had crept into her nightmares for the past month.
He sat up fully and looked at her seriously.
"Then we just run away" he stated simply. He knew that being with her would be troublesome but if push came to shove, he didn't have a second thought about leaving Leaf to live with her elsewhere. A silent tear crept down her face.
She quickly wiped it away, not wanting to show any signs of weakness. That was why she wore her hair up. Feeling it touch her neck made her feel like a woman, and she didn't want that weakness to get in the way of being a kunochi.
"Where are we going?" she asked, voice back to its strong self. Shikamaru stared at her. She said "where are we going" not "where WILL we go".. That meant she knew the inevitable as well as he did.
They both understood that they would never be allowed to be together.
"We'll head towards Mist first" he said, keeping himself from saying what they both knew to be true.
"Then we'll head around that village.. if there's one place we do not want to be spotted its there so that would call for some tactics" he babbled on about an elaborate escape route that he must have had planned for awhile. Temari simply nodded when she thought neccessary.
They made their way back to their house and gathered some belongings that would be essential for a journey though they did it in silence. Once everything needed was packed into a bag, Shikamaru wrote a note addressed to Chouji.
Leaving it lie on the kitchen table they left the house in darkness.
