"This...is so troublesome." Shikamaru Nara stated as he looked up from the trap he was in. Trapped about 14 feet below surface. He was on a secret mission about three miles out from the leaf village when he had fell into it. "This is such a drag." He muttered, and plopped down onto the hard ground. He sat there, hoping someone would eventually find him.

...

Temari of the Sand was walking. About three miles out from the leaf village. Shikamaru was supposed to meet her at the border of the Sand and Leaf territories abut two hours ago, so after waiting an hour for him, she continued walking, heading to the village. She huffed as she walked. "That stupid, lazy, good-for-nothing, pinapple head!" She growled. She knew her face was sun-kissed. She was hot, and was tempted to take her black dress off to reveal her fishnet outfit underneath, but it would be too revealing. So she walked. Suddenly, she felt no ground beneath her feet and she fell. And fel. A short scream escaped her lips until she felt secure, familiar arms around wrap around her, catching her from hitting the ground. She gasped and looked at her rescuer, her... Pinapple head?

"Huh. Troublesome woman, you fell too. Thats no good, now were both trapped." Shikamaru said as he sat her down. Temari was at a loss for words.

"You-how did-wait when-" She stuttered.

"I fell in here on my way to meet you... Sorry. This situation is such a drag... Troublesome too." He said. Temari sighed, anger coming to her mind.

"Idiot! How could you let your gaurd down?" She exclaimed. He looked away.

"...I was watching the clouds..."He muttered. His head swerved to face her. "And you?" He asked. She blushed, and fumbled with her dress.

"...-think-out-ou..." She whispered, barely audible.

"What?" Shikamaru asked.

"I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU!" Temari yelled, allowing her anger to come out. Shikamaru blinked in shock. Temari turned away, embarassed.

"You...were?" He asked. She nodded. Then, she felt arms hold her close...a hug. She blushed, her eyes wide. "Troublesome woman...You couldve hurt yourself because of me."

"W-What..? N-No! It wouldnt have been your fault! I just...Shikamaru I- Ow!" Temari was cut off by a sharp pain in her side. She turned and looked, to see a wide gash, her dress torn. "Where did that come from?" She gasped. Shikamaru looked too, and his eyes sparkled...with worry? He turned his head before Temari could be sure. He ripped a piece from his sleeve and reached over, sealing the wound. Temari grinded her teeth. It hurt. She leaned her head on his shoulder, breathing in his scent to soothe her. He blushed and wrapped the wound completely.

"There. Now what where you saying?" He asked. She blushed, and didnt respond. Shikamaru gently took her hand, genuine concern in his eyes. Temari blushed.

"I-I...Shikamaru... I'm terrible with feelings, because my brothers are the only people I've ever cared about, and we dont have to tell each other our feelings because we know...So I dont know exactly how to say this...But I think that I may have, I mean to say that I just might... That I'm in... I just-" Shikamaru interrupted Temari by gently pressing his lips to hers. She was taken aback at first, then eagerly kissed him back. He broke the kiss after a minute or two, and spoke.

"I love you too, troublesome woman." Shikamaru said. Temari blushed bright red, and smiled.

"Your a mind reader, pinapple-head." She said.

"Only to you." He said. Then, his smile faltered. "So...How do we get out of this troublesome trap?"
