boo yea, 3rd fanfiction! im working on all my fanfictions with my friend. she doesnt have a fanfiction account so she helps me edit my stories and gives advice for the plots. thanks a bunch! enjoy and review!
Act 1
"What a drag." I say to myself. I thought that getting a job as a lifeguard would give me plenty of snoozing and cloud-watching time. As it turns out, my job means I have to stare at the water and make sure no one without a bracelet goes into the deep end. I sigh.
Bored out of my mind, I scan the semi-circle of roped-off water for any drowning, dying, or otherwise entertaining people. No such luck. My lifeguard station is on the left hand side of the beach. There's another one on the right side, where Sasori does the same job over there. My boss, Deidara, is busy checking in the new visitors. Making sure neither of them saw me, I turn my head so it's in the shade, close my eyes, and start to drift off. Whether it's a quarter of an hour or two hours later, someone stands over me.
"Geez, you must be the worst lifeguard ever. But you're still pretty hot."
A blonde girl, probably a model, stood next to him. Dressed in a yellow bikini, she attracted all the guys to her like a magnet.
"What do you want, Ino?" Shikamaru sighed.
"Can't I see my cute little boyfriend when he's on the job?" She asked, pouting.
"I'm not your boyfriend, Ino." Shikamaru said highly annoyed. She pouted and tried to look sexy in front of Shikamaru. He just looked away in disgust. All the guys ogling her started to drool.
"Leave me alone, Ino." Shikamaru shooed her away.
'I'd rather look at the boring water then look at her. Why did she have to like me, why did I have to be her team member? I'd rather be Chouji. No care in the world except for his food. Lucky him, he has no girls eyeing him.' He glanced at Chouji, who was eating his 26th bag of chips that afternoon. I sighed.
Deidara was still checking in new visitors. A new group of 3 caught his attention. A redhead who looked like he wanted to kill everyone, a brunette who looked a lot like he was an idiot, and a tall dirty-blonde haired girl walked in. She wore a loose white shirt with super short jeans on. Nothing too flashy but still attractive. Her teal eyes shone in the sun, when she suddenly turned her head and shot me a deadly glare.
'Damnit! How'd she know I was looking over there?! Why do girls have strange psychic superpowers?!' He quickly turned his head to look at Sasori eyeing her too.
'Damn, she's hot. Sasori must like her, how troublesome.' He thought to himself
"Shikamaruuuuuu!" Ino pouted. "Come and swim!"
Still somewhat staring at the newcomers, I had barely any time to react, and she drags me onto the dock and shoves me in.
"Oi, wait! I have a job to- !" He cried out.
Ino started to drag him farther underwater.
'What is this woman thinking?!' He held his breath before sinking in.
Sasori smiled at the threesome that just walked in. They smiled back and waved. Well, the idiot boy did. The girl just smirked back. And the redhead, let's just say he was having some fun with someone. Like blood-and-death involved fun.
Act 2
Sasori hopped of his chair as he finished his shift. He headed towards the threesome setting up their pool supplies.
"Hey, Sasori, I haven't seen you in a while since you got busy with this job." The blonde smirked.
"Yeah, it's been a while, Temari. Nice seeing you." Sasori replied.
"Hey, cuz! Wassup!" The brunette idiot called out to Sasori.
"Hey, Kankuro! Not much has been going on, but it's nice to see you, bro." Sasori exclaimed.
"It's good to see you, cousin." A dark voice came from the redhead.
"It's a pleasure to see you too, Gaara" Sasori replied formally.
Act 3
Temari glanced over at the bubbles rising from the water. She walked over to the poolside and saw 2 blurry figures entangled in the water. Bubbles were quickly coming up to the surface.
'Looks like someone is being dragged and strangled down there…' She looked, worried, at the person releasing large amounts of air.
'Looks like a lifeguard with that red shirt.'
'If he is a lifeguard, he should be able to swim up on his own.'
'But someone is pulling him down there'
'I should help him'
'But he's a lifeguard'
'Gahhh whatever'
She leaped into the water and separated the two from each other and dragged the red person back to the surface. He wasn't breathing.
Temari hesitated. The last thing she wanted was to end up kissing a boy she'd just saved. But in the end she didn't have a choice and started to pump the lifeguard's heart.
"Twenty…Thirty..." She muttered, and the crowd around her tensed up as they saw no reaction. Finally, when she saw no other option, Temari put her mouth on his and blew.
Three times she did this until finally, she felt him gasp for the air in her lungs. His tongue shot inside her mouth, and they ended up in what seemed like a very awkward, very passionate kiss. Temari wondered why he wasn't screaming in pain, because her face must have been on fire.
Act 4
After about 5 seconds of "passionately kissing", she shot her head up away from his. Both of their faces turned bright red like tomatoes.
"Uhh, sorry, but uh thanks." Shikamaru said looking away.
"Yeah, no problem. Good thing I was a lifeguard back home." Temari's voice faded as she spoke the last few words.
"I'm Shikamaru." He stuck out his hand.
"Nice you meet you. I'm Temari" she said with a smirk. She took his hand then felt a warm feeling come across her.
'W-what is this feeling?!' She wondered then removed her hand.
Silence. Then...
"SHIKAMARUUUUUUUUUU" Ino cried running across the pool deck.
"Your girlfriend?" Temari questioned him.
"Wouldn't be her boyfriend if she was the last human on earth." Shikamaru said disgusted by Ino. Temari chuckled.
"Good luck with that, girls like her don't give up easily on love." Temari smirked.
"And what about love for you?" He asked
"I don't believe in love, nor do I understand it." She walked back to her brothers leaving Shikamaru to deal with Ino.
"Troublesome woman" he muttered as he watched her walk away.
Act 5
"OH EM GEE SHIKAMARU! I WAS SOOOOOOOO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" Ino screeched into Shikamaru's ear, making him wince.
"YOU COULD'VE DIED! I SHOULD'VE DONE CPR ON YOU SO WE COULD KISS! Yeah, actually, GET BACK INTO THE WATER!" She screamed to him.
"Well firstly, you're the one who strangled me in the water and almost drowned me. Secondly, I don't want to go through CPR again. Lastly, I have a job to do, but you decided to not listen to me and push me in anyways." Shikamaru stood up and walked back to his post.
In the background you could hear Kankuro yelling,
"SHOTS FIRED"
And Temari laughing at Ino's stunned face.
"But Shikamaruuuu" Ino whined.
"Ugh, stop Ino." He sighed
"Fine." And with that Ino walked off.
Act 6
Another day, another annoying Ino bothering him on the job. It had been a few days since he was saved by Temari and he hadn't seen her back at the pool since.
Suddenly, she walked in with her Brothers wearing a teal bikini.
'DAYUM SHE'S HOT. DAMNIT CUT IT OUT SHIKAMARU! STOP THINKING PERVERTED THOUGHTS! Stop thinking- oh jeez, she's letting her hair out…' He had a mental battle inside his mind. He snapped out of it because of…
"SHIKAMARUUUUUU!"
He sighed with great despair as if he was being brought off to be killed.
"Wanna go swimming with me on your free break?!" She exclaimed loudly. She was wearing yet again, another bikini, this time a horrible shade of green was used for the clothing. Shikamaru's eyes almost died just looking at the horrific contrast between her hair and the bikini.
"Yeah, no, I don't want to go near the water with you ever again." He thought back to "passionately kissing" Temari.
"Come onnnnn Shikamaruuuu" she whined yet again.
"Ugh, no! I have to work!" He almost yelled, but definitely raising his voice.
Ino stomped off angrily.
Act 7
Temari laid on her pool chair watching her idiot brother play water volleyball.
'That looks fun… Maybe I should join them. Yeah, I should' she got up and jumped into the water, of course, catching Shikamaru's eye. She swam over to her brother and asked for the ball, which she got, due to her amazing give-me-what-I-want-because-I'm-older-than-you-so-if-you-don't-I'll-screw-your-face-so-bad-that-you-won't-even-recognize-yourself-anymore trick. Works everytime.
She swam up to the front with a badass smirk on. After a few games, the other team was totally beat up by Temari. Shikamaru watched in horror. She wasn't your regular girly girl. She was BADASS. And Ino was on the sidelines cheering on… Shikamaru, who wasn't even playing...yeah…
Shikamaru sighed. He looked over to Sasori as he jumped off his post.
'What is he?' He thought as Sasori made his way to see another guy. They started talking in whispers.
'I know that guy, his name is, Itachi, yeah, Itachi.'
"SASORI! what do you think you're doing?! You still have to finish your shift." Deidara said behind his back. Sasori froze in terror.
"I'm sorry, sir! I'll get right back to work!" He said, scared out of his mind.
"That's my man." Deidara nods approvingly and turns back to the stream of newcomers.
While Deidara is distracted, Sasori sneaks up to Itachi again and whispers something in his ear, then he pointed to Temari in the water. Shikamaru watched suspiciously. He could make out only a few words of his conversation.
"Blonde… cousin... hot… yeah… don't wo… tough… hard to get… badass… hot… did I say that already?"
Itachi smirked and walked slowly towards the stairs into the water. Temari had been worn out from the game. She swam over to rest on the side of the pool. Her arms were sore but she played well. Itachi swam over to her on the side of the pool.
"Hey, babe."
