The women that drive us crazy Chapter 1, a naruto fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or it's characters, and if you really need told this then you have problems ^.^

Alright folks, this is my first attempt at a fanfiction, I sort of have some ideas for a couple of different fics, one being very almost sitcom like, as Shikamaru and Rock Lee are roommates XD The odd couple from hell right? So please read and review, if you like this story then I will continue it and write a few others possibly....If no one likes it then....This will be my last story and will be shorter then I'm intending.

Ohhh and by the way, this takes place after were the manga is right now, so this MAY contain some spoilers....but I will point them out before they appear, for those fans that are not...up to date.

^.^ DATTEBAYO!

"Tsk.....Troublesome.." Shikamaru sighed under his breathe as he was disturbed this morning by the sound of a loud pounding.

The sound was of someone knocking loudly at the from door, a sound that could be heard throughout the two bedroom apartment that he shared with his teammate and best friend, Chouji. Shikamaru tossed over in his bed, placing his pillow over his head, it was far to early in the morning for this, he only hoped and prayed that Chouji could resolve whatever was going on, since he sure as hell didn't want to get up this early. 'Please don't let it be who I think it is....She wasn't supposed to be here till the....Ohh god!!!!' Shikamaru started slapping himself mentally for not remembering, he knew full well his day was going to start on the wrong foot, and far to many hours early for his taste.

In the other room, Chouji blinked a few times at the early morning pummeling the front door was taking, He sighed miserably and rubbed the back of his head, looking mournfully at the foot that was left on his plate, that would probably be cold by the time this was done being sorted out. 'Darn it Shikamaru I wish you were awake...Pancakes are no good cold..' The chubby ninja sighed and went to the front door. He opened it slightly as his eye grew wide with horror at who stood on the other side, some one that shouldn't be wandering around in Konoha...especially when her escort was still in bed.

Chouji cast a sideways glance at Shikamaru's door desperately, hoping to see it open and Shikamaru not inside, but no such lucky for the big-boned optimist.

His attention returned to the person at the door as he gave a light chuckle ."T..T..Temari-chan....N...Nice to see you...Did you find your way here ok?"

The sand princess that had been pounding smiled broadly at Chouji as she held her fan aloft in her small hands. "Ohhhh Hello Chouji....Is Shikamaru home?..Because.....HE'S A DEAD MAN!!...LET ME IN NOW DAMN IT!"

Chouji took a few steps away from the door for his own safety, Temari taking this chance to kick the door open the rest of the way and enter the apartment. She was momentarily shocked that it was so well maintain, besides a couple of empty potato chip bags, and a random shougi tile here and there, Temari smiled as she looked around, being rather surprised that a lazy man and a large man shared this place. This thought quickly pushed from her mind as she looked around the apartment which had three door and she tapped her foot.

"Alright Chouji...Which one is lazy-asses?...It's either you tell me or I find out the hard and fun way." She looked at Chouji with a smirk, raising her fan a little bit.

Chouji gulped nervously and pointed to the door that had a 'Do not Disturb' sign on the front. Temari sighed and brought her free-hand to her forehead and shook her hand as it was place in her palm. 'I should have guessed as much, why did I even NEED to ask' The sand princess went to the offending door and forced it open, only to see Shikamaru half-way out his bedroom window, still only wearing a pair of boxers, and a tank top that looked a couple sizes to small. Shikamaru turned around at the sound of his door being forced open, laughing nervously as he was about to make a last minuet dive out the window for his own safety.

"Ohhhh no you don't!....Your not getting away that easily!" roared the angry kunoichi as she reached into her pouch and pulled out a length of kousen wire, using her skill at a trained ninja to wrap the razor-sharp wire around Shikamaru, a little more lightly then he would have liked, as even his slightest movement would cause the wire to slice into him. She pulled him back from the window and the lazy ninja landed on the floor with a thud, she then began dragging him into the living room, were Chouji now frowned as he had started eating his pancakes again, much of the excitement he held for them earlier now gone. Just as he had anticipated, they were now cold.

"T...Temari-chan I can explain!....I..It just slipped my mind...I didn't mean to not meet you at the gate.." Shikamaru tried to explain, but instantly knew that he should of just remained silent, as he seemed to sense a new killing intent from Temari. Chouji sighed at this, he knew exactly what Shikamaru had done wrong, his best friend might be a genius, but when it came to women....He was far from that. Unfortunately for Chouji, he only could read women and how they would react, with women he had no interest in having a relationship with. Sighing miserably as he watched the clueless Shikamaru with the angry Temari. 'Why are you so dense about these things Shikamaru..You've been her "requested escort" how many times now?...and you STILL don't get it?'

"IT SLIPPED YOUR MIND?!?!....The most intelligent shinobi in this village and an important mission, politically speaking, SLIPPED YOUR MIND!?!....Not to mention that I thought we were....friends, but can't even remember I'm coming to your town, after not seeing you for five months...I..I thought...." The two Konoha shinobi never found out what Temari thought, Chouji sighed as he looked at Temari, who looked angry, but Chouji could read how upset she actually was, something he hoped Shikamaru would pick-up on.

"Tsk....Troublesome women...You know you are my friend, hell next to my teammates, you might be the best friend I have...I just slept to long...If I had woken up I would have remembered...probably." Shikamaru stated as he looked up from the floor at Chouji and Temari. Chouji giving him a smile, that was quickly fading at his stated to Shikamaru that he had said something right, the said something terribly wrong. 'Tsk....If only women were that easy to read...' Temari looked down at the restrained Shikamaru, as she then kicked him in the shin and sat on the couch next to Chouji with a smile, as Shikamaru rolled around in pain on the floor.

"Say Chouji, you wouldn't happen to have anymore of those pancakes would you?....It's been a while since I've slept or eaten properly since I've been traveling for two days." She smiled at Chouji as he nodded back at her.

"Yeah Temari, I still have some batter left from making mine, I can cook you some if you would like, I've become a pretty good cook" The chubby ninja had already gotten to his feet to go make his guest some pancakes as he heard her sigh.

"No chance in being able to make the lazy one cook those pancakes is there?" Temari looked at Chouji with a playful smile on her face at the concept of making Shikamaru wear an apron and cook.

"Hmph...not if you don't want to make a quick trip to the hospital, his cooking is pretty bad....He can barely make good instant ramen." Chouji chuckled a bit at this, happy that he was very skilled at something that Shikamaru was completely horribly at.

"Y...You know that I'm still here right?!?..J...Just cause I'm in pain doesn't mean I can't hear you!" Shikamaru protested as the two talked about him as if he was not in the room, stuff like that drove Shikamaru crazy, it was really troublesome to be talked about to your face, yet behind your back.

"Ohhh hush you...We both know perfectly well that your still here, but your being punished from being a lack-luster bodyguard. I mean, I'm Suna's delicate flower princess after all." It was obvious that Temari didn't like the idea of even having a bodyguard, but at least she was able to get Shikamaru as her security, since he usually gave her the space and freedom she wanted.

"Tsk....Delicate flower.....Since when did you become delicate?" Shikamaru's smart-ass comment earned him another kick to the shin, as Temari then crossed one leg over the other, straightening out the fabric of her black kimono. The two of them sat in silence for a few minuets, as Temari waited for her pancakes.

"Sooo Chouji...How are those pancakes coming along?" The Suna princess turned with a smile, that quickly turned into a wide-eyed look of terror as she looked at the fairly large plate of pancakes that was walking towards her, carried by Chouji. "C..Chouji I can't eat all that!!!!"

"Then share with Shikamaru, he hasn't eaten either, and I know he skipped dinner last night." Chouji smirked, his plan was a little obvious he thought, trying to get the two of them to stop dancing around each others feelings, and just get together already. His statement caused Temari to blush deeply.

"Like I would untie this slacker....He'd probably run as soon as I untied the kousen wire..." Temari thought that her voice had it's usual angry and commanding tone, making it seem like she didn't want to share to punish him, masking the real answer, along with attempting to mask her blush.

"Hmm....Well I guess you'll just have to feed him by hand then." This statement from the chubby ninja cause both of them to blush this time, not even Shikamaru was dense enough to not blush at that.

A/N: WOOOOOO That's my first completed fanfic chapter.....I hope I get some good responses, though constructive criticism is also welcome, any reply really. I don't feel like this is a bad first chapter....could be ALOT worse....This also might get a little angsty when Chouji starts to try getting with his crush, not that he hasn't tried before, but....You'll all have to wait and see!!! DUN DUN DUN!
