SHIKAMARU POV

It was a beautiful morning. The sky was a magnificent which painted the clouds a magnificent pink and gold. The air was crisp and the scent of the morning grass was carried on the soft cool breeze. It was the perfect morning to the perfect lazy day, Shikamaru Nara thought, Too bad he can't enjoy it. He groaned as he got up from his usual cloud watching spot. "What a drag"

He made it to the gate as those two ponytails he knew too well were poking out the horizon, following right after, that devillish smirk. He had a feeling this visit was a going to be a long one or he secretly hoped. A thought at first, it would be ideal. But recently the visits seem to fly by leaving a feeling in his stomach he didnt like at the end of it all.

"Must you insist on walking so slow?" He shouted at her. He didnt know why he gave her such a hard time. Maybe he looked forward to what she had to say in retaliation.

"Because you wont be able to keep up to me if I go my normal speed." She smirked. He chuckled at the statement.

"Is that the best you can come up with? Honestly Temari, you've been dissapointing me lately." He crossed his arms behind his back and leaned up against the gate. He was taken off guard when a second later he was falling hard on the ground.

"That fast enough for you?" She said laughing as she started walking towards the Hokages' Mansion.

"Dont be so proud of yourself," He said in return "I let you have that one." He smirked at her. She started laughing. When she did, he noticed something strange about her. Her skin shimmers in this light and her hair looks like gold in the morning sun.

"Hello Shikamaru?" She waved her hand in his face. "Men, honestly, do you all have hearing problems?" She started walking faster.

"We would pay attention more if you girls werent such drags." They continued walking.

They had the usual boring conversation. What were the happenings at the Sand Village and the going-ons in Konoha. He really did enjoy it. The laziness of the conversations. He always lost track of time talking to her and before soon they were standing in front of the office of the Fifth Hokage.

"Seriously?" He mumbled under his breath.

"What'd you say?" She groaned.

"Your a draaaaaaagg." He exaggerated into a sigh.

"Your so unoriginal at times."She groaned as she started knocking on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in!" They heard the muffled voice of a woman.

"Ladies first" Shikamaru said as he opened the door. He stood in the doorway waiting for Temari to enter.

"Well then, what you waiting for Shikamaru?" She replied.

Shikamaru groaned as he walked in. They took their places in front of Lady Tsunade, whos head was stuffed in a book. Temaris hand on her hips and Shikamarus on his head. Shikamaru started tapping his foot.

"Yes hold on Shikamaru" Her mouth sounded stuffed with food. Two minutes later, half hour in Shikamaru-Temari time, she was finished reating

"Im sure Temari explained the situation to you". Tsunade explained. Shikamaru was lost. What do you mean 'the situation'? He looked at Temari. She had an accomplished look on her face and that damned smirk.

"Oh you didnt debrief him Temari?" Tsunade asked.

"No its best hearing it from you." All of the sudden a look of concern crossed Temaris face.

"Well then Ill cut to the chase." She sighed.
