Shikamaru lightly wrapped his arms around Temari and whispered, "I love you, troublesome!"
She kissed him softly then laid her head on his shoulder. She was not used to taking naps during the day , but what could she say? Shikamaru was a bad influence. She giggled and closed her eyes. She was about to slip into complete darkness when the door burst open and Shikamaru jumped up, throwing Temari on the floor in his hurry. She rubbed her head and stood up, just now noticing the ANBU in the room.
"Is there an emergency?!" Shikamaru asked agitatedly.
"Yes…"
"Well?" His foot was now tapping irritatedly.
"We were invaded and the sound ninjas are getting away… someone has to go after them…Lady Tsunade said to send for you!"
"Sound ninjas? I understand." Then he made his way out of the door, leaving Temari standing in the room with the ANBU. She was about to go after him when the ANBU member stopped her.
"Don't make this harder than it already is." He looked at her forehead protector then spat, "Sand nin…"
XXXXXXXXXX
That was a year ago…They had been apart before but never for this long. Yes Temari did cry once in a while, but not enough to show her brothers how much her heart ached. Gaara was giving her a hard time about not getting married already.
He said, "It looks bad for the kazekage's sister who is almost ninteen already." His calamity about the whole situtation made Temari want to haul off and beat him. Search parties in Konoha had been out for the past couple months searching the country of sound. But maybe they were looking in the wrong places. They might not even have taken him to the Hidden Sound village. Temari begged and pleaded to go searching for herself, but Gaara would not allow it.
Temari had never had a grudge against her brothers but they were slowly forming boundaries between them. Kankuro, well it wasn't that he didn't know her situtation, he just didbnt care. He wanted his sisters business to be her business and his to be his own. He liked keeping them seperated like that. This made her angered temper worse tha usual. But on the contrary she had never liked Tsunade more, who had been having her best ninja searched for Shikamaru for months. She feared his loss and knew that it would be a heavy blow to their village.
But as the ambassador between sand and leaf, she still had a duty to do. The days in Konoha were lonely without Shikamaru to keep her company. The traveling was harsh, and the desert harsher. On her missions, she killed without hesitation. She would say to herself, "I have to stay alive, to see his face again." She knew she had never felt this strongly for anyone, nor would she ever again.

The cold stone floor was a nuisance to Shikamaru. He didn't understand why they had kept him alive for so long. In a random cell, in a random jail, in a random village. It was all a big blur, but he knew that it had been longer than necessary. They must be waiting for something, they were planning something big. He couldn't look at the clouds like he loved, or look at Temari, like he loved more. He knew his duty was to kill himself before they could get any information, but he couldn't bring himself to end his life while she was still waiting for him…hopefully.
As an ANBU Black Ops he was ashamed to have been captured, but he had come against two to three specialized sound ninja alone. Overt the year he had been formulating a special plan to get himself out. Nothing had ever taken him this long to prepare, but the thought of holding Temari again had kept him going. He knew he sounded like the cheesiest person in the world at that time, but he didn't care because nothing mattered anymore but to get back to the one he loved.
His thoughts were interrupted as someone entered to bring him his meal. He couldn't tell what time it was in the dark cell, but this was his third meal today so he figured it was around nighttime. The man was wearing a dark robe with a sound head protector tied around his wrist. The musical note had slash right through the middle, showing that he was a missing ninja, betraying his country.
He snickered and kicked Shikamaru where he had a stab wound from the same man. Shikamaru caught his breath at the pain but he couldn't be thwarted now, he was so close to escape. In the dark he now had enough strength back to perform his neck shadow bind.
In the darkness of the cell, the man couldn't see the shadow creeping up behind him as he walked out. The man froze in his steps, coughing and spluttering as the shadow wound its way around his neck and over his mouth to silence him. It only took a few moments for him to fall.
Shikamaru hurriedly pulled him back into the cell, time spinning by faster than he could count as he silently switched his and the man's clothes and jabbed a kunai through the man's heart to keep him from spilling any useful information. Shikamaru pulled the man's greasy hair into his own ponytail holder and let his fall to his shoulders.
"Tsk, so careless." He thought to himself.

Far Away By: Nickelback
This time,this place
misued,mistakes
too long,too late
who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
just in case theres just one left
cause you know,you know, you know!!!
(CHORUS)
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreamin' you'll be with me and you'll never go
stop breathin' if I don't see you anymore!
On my knees, I'll ask, last chance for one last dance
cause with you'
I'd withstand all of hell to hold your hand
I'll give it all I'll give for us
give anything but I won't give up
cause you know, you know, you know!!!!
(CHORUS)
so far away, been far away for far too long
so far away, been far away for far too long
but you know, you know, you know!!!
That I wanted, I wanted you to stay
and I needed, I need to hear you say...
That I love you, and I have loved you all along
and I forgive you, for being away for far too long
soo keep breathin, cause' 'm not leavin you anymore
believe it, hold on to me and never let me go
keep breathin, cause I"m not leavin you anymore
believe it, hold onto me and never let me go
keep breathin, hold onto me and never let me go
keep breathin, hold onto me and never let me go
