One Night
A/N: Before I get started on this story, I just want everyone who is reading my "Nara Family" that I will finish that one, I just had this idea at like 3 in the morning, so I had to write it down before I forgot it. Warning this is gonna be very fluffy, with a hint of sadness in it.
He was hysterical, crying because he failed a mission, and almost lost his closest friend. She couldn't stand the sight of his tears, all she wanted to do was hold him, but she knew she couldn't, for a shinobi wasn't suppose to show any sign of emotion, it was a sign of weakness, and she was defiantly not gonna show any weakness, not now, not ever. But there was just something about this guy, he didn't care if she, or anyone for that matter, was around he was gonna show how he felt.
Not thinking twice about it anymore, she stood off the bench she was sitting on, and walked over to him, "You shouldn't be crying. Men don't-" She was cut off by the feeling of his lips pressed against hers. Her teal eyes widened, not exactly sure what she should do; should she kiss him back or slap him for kissing her without saying anything first. She decided against slapping him, not because she was weak, because she was defiantly not weak, it was-surprisingly-because he wasn't a half bad kisser.
After the two broke apart, both of their faces were bright red, and they were staring into others eyes. What happened next happened either because they both felt vulnerable, spur of the moment, or they had finally realized how they felt for each other. Whatever the reason, it did happen and there was no changing it. They couldn't hit some magical rewind button and take back what they did together.
He woke up the next morning, laying in an unfamiliar bed, obviously not alone. Laying beside him was the one woman he never thought he could tolerate. Her sandy blond hair laying over her soft skin as she laid there sleeping. The raven haired boy sat up, placing his hands on his head, had be become a man the same night he almost lost his best friend?
Looking down at the Konoichi, he wondered if he should wake her or allow her to sleep. He didn't mind watching her sleep, she actually looked peaceful, but once she would wake up, he knew she was gonna yell at him for something, she always yelled at her (like his mother did). So he quietly sneaked out of the bed, and began dressing himself. Once the young Chunin was completely dressed in his normal clothing; dark brown caprices, grey short sleeve shirt, a Kohona headband pinned to the sleeve of his right arm, a green bulky vest proving he was Chunin of Kohona, and his raven hair pulled up into a high spiky ponytail, he looked back at the blonde, whom was still sleeping, he then left the room without another word.
Long after he was gone she woke up, alone and exposed. She sat up in the unfamiliar bed, her sandy blonde hair falling into her face, covering her teal green eyes. She placed her hands over her face, 'How could I of been so stupid? Of course he had no true feelings, he was upset and confused. It was all just a mistake' she thought as she began getting dressed. Once fully dressed, she walked out of the room, her giant iron fan strapped to her back, and left to look for her two brothers. They had many things to take care of before they went back to Suna.
The rest of the time she spent in the village with her brothers, she tried to avoid the young Nara boy that she spent that one night with. She suddenly felt very uncomfortable around him, shy, blushing, very unlike herself. Why…or how could one boy do this to her?
Time had passed and she and her brothers were back at their village, it had been almost four months since she and he…comforted each other. The two of them hadn't seen each other since it happened. Right now Suna's Dessert Lilly had more on her mind, she needed to train more, for her upcoming Chunin Exams.
"Hey Temari--Whoa! Someone's been eating one to many dumplings!" Her puppet loving brother shouted, pointing at his sisters growing stomach, "What happened to you? Bad timing to be letting yourself go."
The blonde shook her head, placing a hand on her expanding stomach, "I'm not letting myself go Kankuro." She sighed, "Whatever I do, my stomach wont stop growing, and I wont stop eating. Not to mention my nose must be on overdrive." She covered her nose with her hand, scrunching her face, "Because I can smell you all the way over here." She took a step back, "When was the last time you showered? You stink!"
Kankuro glared at his sister, "You know what, I think I just got inspired to help you lose your belly fat!" He unwrapped his puppet that was on his back, and charged towards his sister. She quickly threw her giant fan in front of herself, causing the two siblings to clash. Usually Temari would of already bashed Kankuro over the head, but something was causing this Konoichi to feel light headed, and was slightly dizzy. The next thing she knew, her knees gave, and everything went black. Kankuro's eyes widened, as he watched his sister fall to the sandy ground, "Temari!" he shouted, as he quickly picked her up, and rushed her to the hospital.
Awhile later, she began to wake up. She could hear two male voices in the room, they seemed to be arguing with each other.
"I swear Gaara, I didn't do anything. We were getting ready to spar and the next thing I know she's laying on the ground, passed out." Kankuro explained, his voice full of concern for his sisters life.
"Kankuro calm down, your giving me a headache." Gaara sighed, "We just have to wait until a doctor comes in to tell us what happened."
Temari then began sitting up, feeling slightly nauseated at the scent of both her brothers this close to her, "What are you two babbling about?" She asked, placing her hand on her head, closing her eyes, "I'm fine, just a little tired."
A doctor walked into the room, looking at her charts, "When was the last time you saw a doctor?" She asked, looking up at Temari, whom just shrugged, "Then you don't know."
Temari raised an eyebrow, "Know what? What's wrong?"
"Well.." The doctor smiled at the teen girl, "Your pregnant Temari, a good four months."
Both Gaara and Kankuro looked at the blonde, shocked looks on their faces, "No, No, NO! I'm not…I mean, sure I've gained some weight, but…I'm not…" She shook her head, in disbelief, "this cant be happening to me.."
The doctor checked a few more things on Temari, then told her, as long as she took better care of herself, then she would be able to leave that day, the medical nin then left the room. As soon as she was gone, the brothers looked at Temari, both demanding to know what happened to her. Temari hesitated but then explained what had happened between herself and the emotional Nara boy.
"You mean to tell me you and he…" Kankuro made a dramatic puking sound, "Temari…you gotta be kidding me, he's what two-three years younger than you."
Temari looked down, she knew what she had done was wrong, "What are you going to do?" Gaara asked, "When are you going to tell him about …" He nodded towards her stomach, "That?"
Temari shook her head, "I cant tell him, it was a one night thing, completely meaningless" She explained to them. True it was meaningless to him, but to her, she had hoped it was more that just a fling. She looked at her brothers, "I'm not going to tell anyone, and neither are the two of you. I'm going to have a long Hiatus, then…then once its born, I'll give tit to some family. I…I'm not ready to be a mom, and I don't want this baby to grow up thinking it was a mistake."
"People are going to get suspicious." Kankuro pointed out, "We're all suppose to go to Kohona in two months, for the exams again...all three of us."
"I'm sorry Kankuro, but you and Gaara are gonna have to take someone else, I'm not leaving the village, little alone the house, until this is over." Temari stated, as she began getting out of bed, "Now if you don't mind, I need to get dressed."
Two months passed and Gaara and Kankuro arrived at Kohona, along with the newest member of their team. A male whom had green hair and brown eyes, he had a name, but neither of the two sand brothers wanted to learn it. They were both to worried for their sister, she had been stressed with trying to find the perfect family to take her baby once it was born. But most of the people refused, afraid of what the baby would turn out to be like, because of the fact that Gaara was her brother.
Waiting for the sand shinobi at the gate was none other than the laze ninja himself, the guy Gaara and Kankuro swore not to kill, Nara Shikamaru. He yawned as he looked at the nin, "Your missing someone? Where's Temari at?" he asked.
"She's staying at Suna this time around." Kankuro said, the sound of death in his tone towards the Leaf Chunin.
Shikamaru was slightly disappointed that Temari wasn't there, he had wanted to talk to her about that night six months ago. He wanted to finally tell her his true feelings, how he couldn't get her out of his mind, the way she talked, how he wanted to tell her that he loved the way her skin felt against his own…how he had fallen for the most troublesome woman he had known. He looked down, shoving his hands in his pockets, "I see, well your room is this way." The raven haired shinobi said, walking towards the Kohona hotels.
That night had arrived, and Shikamaru went home, to try to sleep off the days events. That was until he felt a familiar presence in his house, he quickly sat up, and jumped out of his bed, just in enough time to dodge a wave of sand from crashing into him. He backed up, only to be trapped inside a small, very uncomfortable, wooden puppet. "We need to talk Nara Shikamaru" a males voice calmly said.
The exams had finally ended, both Gaara and Kankuro had given up after the first test. They didn't think it would be right for them to take the exams while Temari was stuck in Suna.
More months had passed, and it was finally time for Temari to release the human inside her. After a few hours of labor, she gave birth to a baby girl, hair dark like Shikamaru's and eyes teal green like hers.
Temari held the small sleeping being in her arms, tears running down the fierce teens eyes, "I'm sorry…I'm sorry for bringing you into the world and not taking care of you." She then kissed the baby on the top of her head, and handed the newborn to the doctor, so she could take the baby to her new family.
Soon after the doctor had left, Kankuro and Gaara walked into the room, only to see Temari laying in the bed, crying, "It hurts…" she cried more and more, "It hurts worse than any physical wound I've ever had."
Kankuro placed an arm around his sister, "Temari…we need to tell you something."
Temari looked up at her brother, eyes red from the tears she had shed, "What…what's wrong Kankuro?"
"You are" A familiar males voice said walking in the room. Temari's eyes widened, and she looked up to see the raven haired Leaf Chunin holding a pink bundle in his hands, "Temari, why didn't you tell me?" Shikamaru asked as he walked over to Temari, holding his daughter.
She shook her head, "I couldn't…I didn't know how." She said, "But…how'd you…"
"I told her" Gaara said, looking at Temari, "You shouldn't of gone through this alone, and you defiantly shouldn't have to give up your child. No matter what you say Temari, you are ready to be a mom. You have to be ready, this is your child." He said, "My niece, and I'm not gonna let anyone else take care of her."
"But I'm not ready, I cant do this…we cant do this." she said, shaking her head, looking away from them.
Shikamaru placed a hand on her shoulder, "Temari, as troublesome as this is gonna be, we can and will be able to take care of this baby. Its our responsibility, not anyone else's"
After arguing for a while longer, Temari and Shikamaru decided to keep the baby, and Shikamaru moved to Suna with Temari so the two could take care of their daughter, Nara Hope.
