"Why are you being so rough?" Shikamaru complained as Sakura examined his body while he laid in bed at his house.
"Stop nagging and suck it up. This is your fault for not going to the hospital in the first place." Sakura said as she hit his head.
"Because I didn't need to go to the hospital." Shikamaru replied as he rolled his eyes earning another hit from her.
"It's an unspoken rule that all ninjas report to the hospital to get checked out after long missions outside the village." Sakura stated.
"If it's unspoken then how am I supposed to know about it?" Shikamaru smartly replied earning him another hit. "You're supposed to be healing me and not making me more injured." Another hit.
"Please continue because I am really enjoying this right now." Sakura told him as she rolled him onto his stomach.
"Tch... troublesome woman." Shikamaru said as he sighed.
A long silence followed as Sakura continued her examination. The only sounds they could hear were the raindrops hitting the window in an undecipherable pattern. He could feel the temperature steadily dropping in the room and immediately missed the warmth his clothes provided. Sakura had him strip down to his underwear since Choji told her that Shikamaru was in pain so she wanted to check every part of his body.
"Are you finished now?" Shikamaru asked her once she got off the bed.
"Yes. Your bones are not broken thankfully but you have a couple of bruises that is probably going to be in pain for a day or two." Sakura informed him.
"It's a good thing I don't have any missions scheduled for the rest of the week then." Shikamaru said as he began dressing him again.
"Why are you getting dressed so fast? Are you embarrassed about something?" Sakura asked him.
"I don't have anything to be embarrassed about. You've seen me in my underwear before. I've seen you in your underwear before as well." Shikamaru answered her. "It's cold since it's raining so I want to get dressed before I get sick and have you coming over here again."
"So you're kicking me out?" Sakura asked him.
"Woman, always have to have the last word." Shikamaru muttered.
"I will gladly add more bruises to your body if you don't shut up." Sakura threatened him.
"Tch... troublesome." Shikamaru said as he started walking to the door of his room. "Are you coming or not troublesome woman?"
"Where are we going?" Sakura asked as she followed him.
"Do you have to talk so much?"
"Do you want me to literally kick you out of your own house?"
"How does Naruto and Sai deal with you?"
"How does Ino and Choji deal with you?"
"They know not to ask me such a lot of annoying questions." Shikamaru replied as they entered the kitchen. "Sit down."
"I'm not some dog you know." Sakura told him as she stood with her arms folded against her chest. "I am rather going to go to someone who appreciates my presence."
"I didn't say that I wanted you gone... troublesome woman." Shikamaru said as he sighed. "You're a doctor so do you really think walking in this storm is good for you right now? I'm making us something hot to eat and drink then you can leave later when the rain is not all that heavy. My parents aren't going to be back until next week anyway so I need some sort of company and I would rather have you or Neji than anyone else. At least you guys are normal and have a brain that actually challenges me."
"Fine. I am only staying because it's raining though." Sakura said as she sat down while Shikamaru started cooking. Shikamaru silently and precisely worked in the kitchen as Sakura just sat down and watched him. She was mesmerised by the way he cooked with so much ease and effort.
"Stop staring troublesome woman." Shikamaru told her after a while.
"I can't help it. I've never seen you doing so much work other than when you are fighting or training. Where did you learn to cook like this?" Sakura asked him.
"My mom tried to teach me for times like this but she shouted at me too much so I just gave up. If I am hungry then I would normally go to Choji or Ino's house to get something to eat but I was too lazy to go out so I taught myself how to cook." Shikamaru explained.
"You certainly know your way around the kitchen."
"Don't get your hopes up about the taste. I hardly cook."
"If you were my son and I saw you right now then I would make you cook every day."
"My mother doesn't know that I can cook and you're not telling her."
"Why not?"
"Because then she would make me cook more. Such a drag."
"You really are lazy." Sakura said as she rolled her eyes.
"Took you a while to pick up on that. I am beginning to rethink my previous statement about you being smart." Shikamaru replied as Sakura threw the salt shaker at him but he easily caught it.
"You're an ass." Sakura told him.
"Troublesome woman." Shikamaru responded then started laughing as Sakura joined in the laughter.
"Thanks." Sakura said as Shikamaru set down a cup of steaming hot tea on the table in front of her.
"We're going to have to wait a while for the food to be ready." Shikamaru said as he sat down opposite Sakura.
"What are we going to do in the meantime? Play shogi? Challenge each others minds?" Sakura asked.
"I actually wanted your help with something. My mom found some new plants and shrubs growing at the edge of the forest and she analysed them. She wrote down everything about the plants so I was wondering if you could help me see if they could be used in any medication or for healing so that we can update our medical encyclopaedia." Shikamaru told her. "Up for a challenge?"
"Bring it on." Sakura replied.
"I'll go fetch her notes then we can start." Shikamaru said as he stood up. He made his way to the study where his parents kept all their books and where his mother kept her research to keep the encyclopaedia up to date. He grabbed his mother's notes and the encyclopaedia then made his way back to the kitchen. He immediately used his shadow and stopped Sakura from adding something to the pot of food that was cooking on the stove.
"If there is one way to get on my bad side then it's this way." Shikamaru said as he put the book and notes down on the table then walked over to Sakura and grabbed her wrists.
"I was just going to add something to bring out the flavour. It's good but I this will make it better." Sakura stated.
"I said no." Shikamaru said then grabbed the bottle out of her hand and released his shadow.
"I have been cooking longer than you. I know what to do to make food taste good." Sakura defended herself as she turned to face him.
"If I wanted your help then I would've asked for it. I know what I am doing and if you get poisoned then it's a good thing there's a doctor here." Shikamaru replied as they stared at each. Their bodies were only a breath apart with Sakura looking up to Shikamaru.
"Fine." Sakura replied as she went back to her seat.
"Those notes are about the plants my mother found." Shikamaru said as he checked on the food that was cooking while Sakura silently looked over the notes. It took a couple of more minutes before the food was ready so Shikamaru dished up a plate for Sakura and himself then added a few things on the side before handing it to her.
"Thanks." Sakura unenthusiastically said once Shikamaru set the plate in front of her on the table.
"If you still want to add something to it then you are welcomed to." Shikamaru told her as he took his seat opposite her again. The tension between them seemed to grow into an uncomfortable silence again while they began eating. Shikamaru noticed a slight flash of joy spread across her face for a moment then disappear into thin air as she ate.
"It's nice." Sakura commented breaking the silence.
"Told you so." Shikamaru retorted.
"I am trying to be nice here. You could at least stop being an ass."
"I let my guard down before and you nearly ruined the food."
"I'm sorry. Get over it already."
"Whatever. You're such a drag." Suddenly Sakura took her plate and launched it at Shikamaru. He caught the plate but all the food attacked his clothes. She silently stood up and took all the notes and the encyclopaedia as she walked out of the kitchen.
"If you are leaving then you have to leave the books and the notes here." Shikamaru told her as he stood up and grabbed a cloth to wipe his face. She ignored him and continued on her way.
