Disclaimer: I wish I owned Naruto but I don't.
AN: Do you think If i tried hard enough, I'd be able to draw chakra? Ah i don't think so, anyways, I've barely came up with this story cause I'm bored but I think its gonna be a good story. Anyways I'm just coming up with the plot...
another thing, the name is supposed so say : Just remember, I love you- but when I translated it, it said : exactly, me it loves, remember- so I'm not really sure about it...just don't pay attention to the name because i really suck at making them up .
Characters:
Temari- kicks ass
Shikamaru- troublesome, love him anyways.
Sakura- :P useless at first, not so useless after a while
Naruto - dattebayo!
Hinata- needs confidence- for her own good
Lee – bushy brows Shudder
Neji- forget destiny
Sasuke- I'll kill his brother just to see the expression on his face, also emo and possibly gay though extremely cute...
Tenten- in love with Lee...freaky (anyone that disagrees has to go watch episode 142 of Naruto)
Chouji- FAT
Ino- bitch!
Kankuro- make-up boy
Gaara- Awesome!
Kiba- too doggy
Shino- lacks emotion.
AN: these are the characters that will be in my story. Also wut i think of them. There will be romance in this story, though i am perfectly aware that the series is not at all based on romance. Anyways there will be pairings, the way i like them, by the way if u want any characters included in the story like sai, or itachi or something, well then review and tell me. If u don't, then probably they wont be in it. Also there will be references to other characters but these are the important ones.
Ch. 1
Temari sat on the chair waiting for the Hokage. Her patience slowly running out. What was wrong with the woman. She had made Temari wait for god-knows how long and hell she was pissed. Well the main reason was because she could be out there exploring Konoha and trying to figure out where she could stay. The Hokage wouldn't give her a place to stay, she was sure of that. This was all Gaara's fault. Like they needed to make a better relationship with Konoha. They were already good allies. She should be going to a less friendly village, like Amegakure, or Iwagakure. But no, he had to send her to Konoha. No matter how much she'd protested. But then he had gotten suspicious and asked her weird questions.
Flashback
"But Gaara I barely got home." Temari exclaimed frustrated.
"So? I thought you hated staying at one place for too long." Gaara answered calmly.
"I'm tired." She said.
"Excuse." A voice said from the corner of the room.
"You just shut up." she shouted at the boy standing in the shadow. "This does not concern you makeup boy." She then turned towards Gaara. "Send someone else, you know you can send anyone."
"But it would be better if I sent you." Her youngest sibling answered.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because you are my sister." Gaara answered matter of factly. "If I send someone important from our village, then they will get the impression that we honor their village, which is what we need. We need allies Temari and you know it."
"Then send Kankuro, and aren't we allies with Konoha already?"
Upon hearing his name, Kankuro came out of the shadow and faced his sister.
"I have a different mission." he said looking depressed. "Or else I would've loved to go to Konoha, the weather sure is nice." he sighed.
"Oh yea sure the weather is the only thing you like about Konoha." Temari said sarcastically. "Don't think I don't know what you do when you go to the fire country." She finished.
"What does he do?" Gaara asked sounding interested.
"Oh nothing, he just likes it cause it's filled with sluts." As soon as the words left her mouth she regretted saying them. Now there was no chance of her getting out of this mission by pestering Gaara until he sent Kankuro instead of her. She cursed herself silently then looked at her brothers. Kankuro looked like he had just been slapped. Gaara, well he looked amused.
"Well if that's the case, I don't think Kankuro should go to Konoha for a while. And how tragic too, I was considering sending him instead of you Temari." Gaara said with a grin.
"Shit." Kankuro said.
"Oh come on Gaara don't make me beg." Temari said, not convinced by Gaara's last words. "I'll do anything."
"Temari, I thought you liked Konoha, don't your weirdo kunochi friends live there?" Kankuro had gotten over the fact that the fire country was out of reach for a while, and had decided that the only thing that would make him happy at the second would be to make his older sibling miserable was the one asking the question."Why don't you want to go to Konoha?"
"Yes Temari, you seemed so happy to be the one going to Konoha last time." Gaara said supporting his older brother.
"Are you avoiding someone?" This was Kankuro. "Like, oh I don't know, a boy?"
"What? What are you talking about?" Temari almost growled. Yes she was trying to avoid someone, because if she saw him again...
"Yep, she defiantly is, just look at her face." She came to a conclusion then, she liked her siblings way better when they were trying to kill each other.
"Oh, let me guess who it is." Smirked Kankuro.
Gaara joined in (AN: Gaara's a bit out OC because I didn't want Kankuro to be the only one teasing Temari.) " I think it's the shadow boy." Gaara said.
"Nah," Kankuro answered. "That boy is too weird, Temari wouldn't like him."
"But she spends so much time with him." Gaara reasoned.
"You know what? you're right Gaara." Kankuro said after a moment of thought. "So is it the lazy ass?" he said turning to Temari.
Gaara spoke before Temari could answer. "It could also be the Hyuga, I heard her say he was cute."
"What I never said that." Temari shot back.
"Naruto then?" Gaara asked.
"eww." Temari said before she could control herself.
"Kiba?" Kankuro asked.
"No, too doggy." Temari answered not knowing why she did.
"The bug boy?" Gaara tried.
"I've never talked to him."
"Lee?" Kankuro this time.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"The Akimichi?" Gaara asked.
"The Lee dude is better looking than him." Temari answered.
"Which leaves only shadow boy." Kankuro said with a knowing smile.
"Which was our first guess anyways." Gaara included.
They both looked at Temari, who had started to blush. Only a little though, or at least she hoped.
"Aw look, she's blushing."
"You know Temari I never thought you would fall for someone like him." Gaara said smiling.
"Yea, he is so average." Kankuro said. "But then again..." he smirked, not for the first time that evening.
Ok this had gone far enough.
"Fine," She yelled. "I'll go to Konoha just stop talking."
"Oh I think we hit a nerve little bro."
"SHUT UP!" Temari yelled.
She took the papers on her brother's desk and stormed out of the office almost breaking the door.
end of flashback
Temari sighed, thinking back, she might've revealed too much to her brothers. They would never let her live it down. She was not left to wonder too long though. She heard footsteps and after a few seconds saw Shizune emerge from the Hokage's office.
"Temari-san, the Hokage is ready to see you now." Shizune said.
Temari stood up. Going over what she was going to say in her head. After a moment, she walked in the Hokage's office.
"Temari, great to see you again." Tsunade exclaimed.
"And you, Hokage-sama." Temari answered. "I expect you know why I'm here."
"Of course." Tsunade said. "The Kazekage has informed me of your stay in Konoha."
"Um..." Temari started. "Why am I here again?" She knew that she was to go to Konoha, but she was too pissed off at Gaara to go back and ask him why.
"There is a mission." Tsunade said. " We need more ninja than the ones we can spare. So the Kazekage offered to send you."
"But do you need only one?" Temari asked confused.
"No, but the Kazekage could only spare one." Tsunade answered. "And I figured, one more couldn't hurt." She smiled brightly at the Sand Kunochi which scared her.
Temari nodded. She expected to be giving the Hokage a lecture or something. But she was really wrong. Gaara had given her the impression that she was doing something important, but this was totally different than what she had expected.
Reading her expression, Tsunade said. "Do not get the impression that this mission isn't important."
"Yes, Hokage-sama." Temari said.
"I expect you have a place to stay?" The Hokage asked.
"Well, now that you mention it..." Temari began.
"I do have a few ninja that have extra room at their house." Tsunade said going through the papers at her desk. "There is, Akimichi Chouji, Uzumaki Naruto, Aburame Shino and..." She paused and smiled. "Nara Shikamaru."
her heart missed a beat.
"Maybe I should find my own place." Temari said. She didn't want to stay with weirdos, and the last one, well lets just say that she would rather avoid him after what happened last time.
"No, I really think you should stay with one of these people, they can help you understand the mission better." Tsunade said. "If you can't decide who to stay with, I can help you." She was busy looking at the papers again. "My suggestion would be Shikamaru." She said at last. "He appears to live alone in a three bedroom apartment. You would be most comfortable."
"I really don't think..." Temari started to say but she was cut off by the Hokage.
"Then it's settled. I've already told Shikamaru about your staying at his house and he has agreed to it. So you can just move your stuff to his house"
Oh so she planned it before I came here, who would've thought. Temari thought. She was about to leave the room when she remembered something.
"Hokage-sama, when will the mission start?" Temari asked.
"In about a week or so." Tsunade answered. As she watched Temari leave, Tsunade noticed that the sand kunochi had not asked where Shikamaru's house was. Interesting girl, I wonder why Shikamaru would want her to stay at his house. She thought to herself.
Temari walked around Konoha trying not to go near where the Nara boy lived. She didn't want to see him. She could imagine how he would react, and she wanted to avoid it as long as possible. She walked towards a flower shop, where she was sure she would find Ino. Finally someone to talk to, She thought entering the shop, and a reason to avoid going to Nara boy's house, something in the back of her mind said.
"Temari-san, great to see you again." This was Ino, walking towards the counter to greet Temari. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh just passing by," Temari said. "I'm on a mission and I don't have anything to do, so I thought to come and visit you." Temari smiled trying to look innocent. Not that many people knew what went on inside her head, she had made sure of that, but she thought that she had let a word or two slip from her mouth about how she thought Ino was a look obsessed bitch. She hoped Ino had not heard anything.
But she didn't really need to worry. Ino had no clue. As far as the blond Yamanako knew, Temari was a good friend that she loved talking to. So she smiled back.
"Well Temari-san, if you have nothing to do, you can come to my house tonight." Ino said. "I'm having a sleepover, and I would love to have you there."
A sleepover? Temari thought. How old are you twelve?
"Sure sounds like fun." She said. "I'll be there."
"Great." Ino sounded happy. "The others will be so glad you came."
"Uh...sure. Well I'll have to go find the place I'm staying at and leave my stuff there."
"Well, where are you staying." Ino asked politely.
Temari made an act of trying to remember where she was supposed to stay. "Shikamaru's apartment." The look she received from Ino was scary. Temari didn't know if she should laugh or run. "Tsunade-sama made me stay at his house." She explained. "I would rather stay at a hotel, but Tsunade-sama said I would like it better since Shikamaru's got a bigger apartment." She said as fast as she could.
Ino looked deep in thought for a moment. (AN: Ino can think?) Then she smiled. "Good luck." she said. "Shikamaru's been grouchy for a while now, still haven't figured out why." Ino said.
"Oh thanks." Temari said. Ok so she didn't get mad. Thank goodness.
"Well, I'll see you at seven." Ino said waving as Temari left the shop.
"Yea."
She reached his house an hour later. Not that it actually took an hour from the Yamanako flower shop, to Shikamaru's house, but she had walked so slow, she was surprised she even reached his house. As she stood in the threshold of the house, trying to figure out if she should knock or just stand there, she heard a movement from inside. A second later, the door opened and a figure stepped outside. Dark eyes stared at her own and she felt her cheeks began to grow warm. No, she thought stubbornly, No way I'm gonna let something that happened so long ago bother me. It wasn't that long though, only a month ago...
The surprised expression on the boy's face turned to that of a grin.
"I thought there was someone outside." He said turning around "I thought it was my troublesome mother, but it's you..." You're worse. He simply finished in his mind.
"I...Uh...I..." Get a hold of yourself. Have you turned soft. "Hokage-sama-"
"Yea I know." Shikamaru said turning around to face her. When she didn't move he sighed. "Well aren't you going to come inside?"
"I-" She forced herself to move towards the boy. It wasn't like she was feeling scared. Just a weird feeling. A weird feeling that she got around him since her last visit, a weird feeling that had made her do that...
"Yeah." She managed as she went inside.
AN: Ok well the chapter ends there. Hope you liked it. I have another chapter ready, but I want to see what ppl think of my first chapter. Please be nice and read it.
