"So Tem this is the last box, you ready to leave"

"No, not really. I'm going to miss this place Shika"

"We can stay in Suna, if you want to"

"I can't do that to you and plus I want to start my own family with you"

"We can come visit anytime, I promise"

Temari and Shikamaru has just gotten engaged and Now that he was head of the Nara clan, he had gotten the biggest house on the compound. He hadn't moved into it yet because he was waiting to take Temari's hand in marriage.

When Temari walked in her new home the only thing see saw was kitchen appliances and a table with two chairs.

"It's empty"

"I hadn't moved in yet"

"Why"

"I was waiting for you"

"Such a romantic Nara"

"Whatever woman"

"So where is the furniture"

"Well, tomorrow I was hoping we could decorate how you like"

"That sounds like a plan"

As Temari was talking, she heard Shikamaru stomach growl.

"Sounds like someone is hungry"

"Hungry for his fiancée"

"Maybe tomorrow Nara, but tonight what do you want to eat"

"Mackerel"

"Alright, lets go to the grocery store. We need food for the house anyway"

oooooooooo

"What kind of mackerel do you like"

"That kind, do you know how to make mackerel anyway"

"No, but I know it's your favorite food, so you're going to teach me"

"Sounds troublesome"

Temari punched him in the arm "I'm kidding, what is your favorite food anyway, besides chestnuts"

"I don't really have one, whatever my brothers liked I liked, me being the designated cook and all"

Shikamaru looked sad, and he knew her childhood was not a happy memory.

"Cheer up Shika. Now that I'm with you, I'm pretty sure I'll have nothing but good memories." Shikamaru smiled and this made her smile. Now that she was starting her own family she could give her kids the life she never had.

"Hey here's some chestnuts, do you want some"

"Sure, now lets hurry up because I am starving"

When they got home Shikamaru taught Temari how to make the fish, which to Temari's surprise was fairly easy.

When they began to eat, the dinner table was silent. "Shika, talk"

"Huh"

"Well me and brothers never talked during dinner and I want that to change"

"I'm sorry, you didn't talk so I didn't"

So that night Temari and Shikamaru talked all night and the first night in the Nara household wasn't so bad.

oooooooooo
