To: Ren

From: Alanna (I know you said kick-ass, but I was in a fuzzy mood and tried to combine both. I hope you like it!)

Merry Christmas! (Very, very, very, very, LATE Christmas.)

How dare he! How could that stupid, lazy-ass ninja, do such a thing? To her, Temari of the Sand! She was a bad-ass, man-hating ninja and dammnit, you did not just go up to her and kiss her!

Even it was kind of fantastic and made her knees go weak…

Until she regained her brain cells and slapped that stupid, lazy, moronic Shikamaru Nara all the way across the room.

Where his teammate, that irritating blonde she didn't like because she was so girly and so obviously liked Shikamaru, (Not that Temari had a problem with that, because she was man-hating and that meant she did not like Nara), tottered over in her freakishly high heels and cooed if he was okay and did he need her to kiss it better?

That was where Temari left the building. Really angry. And sad. But still man-hating. (Though for different reasons this time….maybe.)

Why did he have to kiss her? Maybe he mistook her for that other blonde….she was wearing a dress and had her hair down.

But still!

"Hey! Hey, Temari! Will you slow down? Jeez…so troublesome."

Temari sped up. No way in hell Shikamaru Nara was going to she her all mopey over him.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Well, shit. Now he was going to see her all mopey and it was snowing and she was freezing and this was just not good.

"Okay, you troublesome woman, why did you run away?"

Temari wanted to simultaneously hit him, kiss him, and cry on him.

(Hit because she was angry, and he was standing right there, and it would be so easy to reach her hand out and give him another really beautiful slap; the kind that left a mark for a couple hours- and then both sides of his face could match. Kiss him because…he looked so cute, all cold and in the snow and freezing and he had ditched that irritating blonde just to look for her, and somehow, that was very endearing. And cry because he had come after her, and that made her feel really bad- on the inside- that she wanted to hit him.)

"I...you…and then…" She stuttered. With rage, of course. Not embarrassment. (Why would she be embarrassed?!)

"Why did you kiss me, Nara?"

He had the nerve to look indifferent.

"There was mistletoe."

"There was not!"

"You're being stupid."

"I am not!"

"Put the fan down."

"No!"

"Fine."

"Quit kissing me!"

-FIN-

Blegh, that did not come out how I wanted it to. I hope you liked it anyway!
