Temari's foot was making soft, impatient taps on the rocky path leading to the streets of Konoha. She stood at the entrance, the nin on duty giving her an apologetic look. He knew her, for sure, but had been given orders to refrain from letting ambassadors in without their guides, after the last skirmish. She rolled her eyes. She turned to the duty guard's partner who was sitting with his leg propped up on the table, without the slightest care and scowled at him.
"Shiranui-san. Please let me in. You know him. I could spend hours here while he gets out of bed. Everyone here knows me!"
Genma grinned at her and twirled his senbon around his fingers. "Sorry, Temari-san. Letting you in would be breaching of the rules. Shizune would kill me." Temari muttered under her breath. "More like she wouldn't let you sleep with her."
Temari stood there for another hour, getting more and more irritated. Soon, her arms were folded up and she was wondering whether she needed to head back to Suna. She was about to make the duty nin call Tsunade-sama when she felt a person approach her from the back and casually sling one arm around her shoulder.
"Who are you waiting for, Temari-san? I'll help you look, if you like," the lazy voice drawled. She turned around at him. Glancing sideways, she noticed the Chunin on duty looking mildly alarmed and Genma smirking away.
"I've been waiting here for two hours! Where the hell do you think you've been?" She glared at Shikamaru, but he didn't even flinch. He just shrugged.
"Sorry, Tem. I've been looking for an inn for you, but it's fully booked. I guess you have to stay at my place." He looked over to Genma, and he gave Shikamaru a grin.
Temari's temper flared, but more because of embarrassment than anything else. "You idiot! You did that on purpose!"
Shikamaru smirked at her. "If I remember correctly, the last time you were here you didn't stay in your room very much. In fact I happen to reckon you liked my place quite a lot. Call it saving my village's financial status."
Temari's cheeks flushed red. "There are people here, you know!" Shikamaru shrugged. Then he turned and called out. "Genma, you know I'm sleeping with her, right?" The jonin lazing at the booth clearly enjoying the show gave him a thumbs up, while the other guard looked greatly disturbed. Shikmaru turned back to Temari. "See? Problem solved. In fact, there was never actually a problem."
Temari smacked him on the arm. "You asshole," she muttered. He just grinned at her and pulled her close, making their way down to the busy streets of the hidden village.
A/N I was bored and realised that there are actually very few shikatema fanfics compared to other ships, so I decided to contribute. This was loosely written but I hope you liked it. Reviews and critique are allowed and appreciated but no flames please! This was based on a fanart I found on tumblr.
