'Its so hot' thought Shikamaru as he walked the few miles he had left before getting to the sand village. 'Temari better be waiting for me with some lemonade or something' A smile tugged at his lips as he started to picture Temari at the entrance of the village holding a cup of lemonade, waiting for him with one of those rare smiles on her face, wearing an apron instead of her battle wear, making her look less scary and more civil.

He snapped out of his daydream by a noise coming from the bushes.

"Who's there" spoke Shikamaru

"Please help me" came an elderly voice.

'How troublesome. First I'm dying of the excruciating heat and now a random old lady behind a random bush in the middle of the dessert is asking for help... This could be a trap for all I know' as Shikamaru got closer he started to see a green glow coming off of the bush.

When he looked over the bush, the old lady had disappeared. The second he realized this a green flash bomb went off. He was blinded and thrown off balance onto the ground.

"Temari are you sure he was suppose to arrive today?"

"Yes Gaara" replied Temari, irritated. 'He's probably resting in some cave or something...that lazy, no good for nothing, SLACKER! Making US wait for him while he's taking his precious time getting here'

Seeing the anger radiating off of Temari, Gaara decided to send someone to quicken Shikamaru's pace.

"Kankarou, go and look for him" ordered Gaara

"Why me!? Temari should be the one to go and look for him! We all know why he's coming anyway. He's just coming-" before Kankarou could finish, Temari hit him right in the gut with her fan.

"Shut up Kankarou and do as you're told...He's coming for important business and we need him here as soon as possible" Said Temari trying to fight the blush that was creeping up on her cheeks.

Kankurou started to walk off to the desert in search of Shikamaru while muttering to himself.

"Shikamaru... Hey! Shikamaru wake up...cmon get up!"

"I'm awake Kankarou jeez u don't have to yell so loud"

"Oh man... Temari is going to kill ME if you're dead"

"Kankarou I said I'm awake. Now shut up" said Shikamaru starting to open his eyes.

As Shikamaru started to look around he noticed a mans body that looked exactly like his. Kankarou started to pick the body up and place it on his back.

"Don't worry Shikamaru. I'm going to get u to the hospital as quick as possible" said kankarou to the passed out body as he started to run towards the Sand.

"Kankarou what are you talking about. I'm right here..." Said shikamaru as he watched kankarou get further and further away. No response came out of kankarou as if he couldn't hear him. 'What's going on!' Thought Shikamaru starting to panic. He tried taking a step but couldn't feel the ground. Behind him was the old lady that had asked for help. She was watching him and started to chuckle. Immediately Shikamaru turned around.

"What have you done to me!"

"I haven't done anything to you... It was the bomb that accidentally went off."

"Lady! Tell me how to reverse this!"

"Listen kid, stop panicking. All that has happened is the separation of your soul and body"

" hmm... I see... Is that ALL!?" Shouted Shikamaru. 'How was he suppose to get back in his body when he didn't even know this was possible! I'm not a yamanaka to be coming out of my body'

"Ok I know you're worried but I'll tell u how to get back to your body... You have to get someone that truly loves you to kiss you... And if you don't have someone like that then I feel sorry for you because after a week the separation becomes permanent."

'Oh great. Temari would never kiss me... Ino doesn't love me enough to kiss me... And the rest of the girl population don't even like me... How troublesome...'

"How am I suppose to get someone to kiss me if they can't even hear or see me..." Shikamaru said in his bored tone imagining how his life was going to end because of the fact that no girl would ever kiss him while he's passed out

"You are able to slip into people's body for 5min at the maximum in order to be able to get out and leave the person conscience. If you exceed the 5min. you are forced out of the body and the person you went into passes out."

"Really?" Shikamaru surprised at the new information started to formulate a plan "Is there anything else I should know about?"

"Hmmm... You can also communicate with people through their dreams... I think that's it..."

"Ok thanks!" After that explanation Shikamaru was ready to try everything in his power to get back into his body. But before he left the old lady spoke in a more serious voice.

"Whatever you do, don't try to slip back into your body without someone kissing you... If you do, the second you're soul and body are together... You will die"

"Uhhh..." Chills ran down shikamaru's spine "thanks for the information"

"Anytime!" The old lady said returning to her humorous self.

Shikamaru didn't want to waste time, He started to hover over the trees and started to fly at a medium pace in search of his body.
