The day

'Finally something hot' Temari said as she walked into the bathhouse and saw the steamy clouds leave the hot spring. 'Why didn't you tell me right from the beginning you had something like this, Shikamaru?' she asked as she unbuckled her shoes and put them away with her fan.

'Don't know, to troublesome to go all the way here I guess' he muttered as he opened a locker and put his Chuunin vest and normal clothes in it until he was down to his boxers as he began blushing a bit.

Temari turned around, grabbed a towel and walked into one of the change rooms, Shikamaru did as well and a few moments later he was waiting outside with a towel around his middle as he saw her door open, She walked out with the towel wrapped tightly around her upper and partial lower body, Shikamaru just looked at her for a moment before turning away.

'What's wrong Shikamaru?' she asked as he turned around and she saw him grab something. Shikamaru quickly grabbed a tissue from his locked and tried to stop his immersive bleeding nose as he muttered 'N-n-n-nothing Temari, Don't worry about it, you go to the bath, I'll be there in a moment'. "Hmm, boys can't even take a little beauty in sight before they go numb" she giggled as she entered the bathing area.

Shikamaru followed her as he found her already relaxing in the small pool; he slipped into the water and sat down besides her leaning backward.

'Nice day for clouds today' he said as she turned around. 'Are clouds all you thing about?' she said as she turned to him and forced him to look at her with a evil grin on her face. 'Maybe, maybe I'm planning strategies for shogi for later on, maybe I'm just writing the report of this week already in my mind, who knows' he smiled as until he turned his head and saw hers. 'Anything in that report I need to know about?' she said as he sat straight up, fear dripping from every corner of the young Chuunin. 'Nothing special, we ate every day, went to see a movie, we did all the official stuff, she's more troublesome then anyone I know' he gave her a glare before leaning back to watch the clouds. 'Of course I'll have to write it down somewhat better' he smirked until he heard something, he looked besides him and he saw something he never expected to see that week.

"He finds me troublesome, I've seen his mother and yet I'm more troublesome!" Temari thought as she let out a small tear from her left eye. Suddenly, she felt a firm yet soft hand gently grab her left cheek and with its thumb it removed the tear. 'I think I like troublesome woman' he tried to smile on his best smile as she looked up again.

Suddenly she threw her arms around him and started crying, 'what Have you done to me!? Every time I'm near you I just want to hold you and drop this cold layer' she said between her cries out. Shikamaru was completely stunned for the moment, evil Shinobi he could handle, troublesome woman he could handle, didn't want to, but could, but this…

He placed his arms around her and moved her face with his shoulders until she got the hint and faced him, still crying her heart out she saw Shikamaru smile like she never saw him do before. She did that what seemed right and after a few seconds of gazing in each others eyes she gave him a soft kiss on his mouth whispering 'Thank you' as he returned the kiss more passionately and they went on like that for the next few minutes.

Shikamaru thought he never should find anything better then watching clouds on a good day.

He was wrong.

Suddenly they heard voices as the released from each others hold with pain as they turned to face the noise. Suddenly Neji and Tenten walked inside, Neji was kissing a giggling Tenten in her neck as they walked in and sat right on the opposite place of Shikamaru and Temari, apparently not noticing they weren't alone.

After a few moments Shikamaru and Temari where growing a bright red as the couple across them was not stopping where the towel began. Quickly Shikamaru moulded some chakra, formed some seals and whispered a jutsu. The steam increased and eventually they couldn't see anything but a few feet besides them as Temari was stunned. 'When did you learn the hidden mist technique Shikamaru?' she asked still stunned that he could do a water technique while being a leaf nin. 'Simple, I don't' he smirked as he tried to throw his arms around her again but she didn't let him.

'Then what did you do?' she was getting curious now as it wasn't a mist technique. Shikamaru let out a sigh before saying 'I thought I'd rather not see my friends do such a thing so I thought of a technique but couldn't find any, so I made this what, it increases the density of the steam trough changing the temperature of the air in a small area so that the water reacts more with the sudden change, what do you think of it?' he smirked as he saw her face grow with amazement with every word he said.

'Brilliant!' she cried out silently while grabbing him and pulling him towards her and beginning to kiss him even wilder then before. Shikamaru was overwhelmed by the kiss and began kissing back grabbing her until he was pushed aside and she sat on top off him, 'I'm glad you where assigned for this' she said with a wink as he held her again and began kissing her neck softly while she moaned.

She began nibbling on his ear, suddenly she bites him a bit hard and he almost choked as he let go of her.

'What did you do that for?!?' he yelled out as he saw her smirk, 'That's for not fighting me good enough in the exams as she continued to nibble his ear, licking the blood from the small wound.' 'Byakugan!' was what they heard and a moment later they heard the voice gasp for air as he probably found them. Shikamaru undid his jutsu and Temari got off of him just in time as the steam cleared a bit and they saw Tenten atop of Neji blushing mad quickly fishing her towel out of the water where it was just drifting by.

After seeing that Shikamaru faced Neji and smiled. 'Lets make a deal Neji, We didn't see anything here but two people enjoying their bath and you didn't see me with the Suna ambassador, alright?' he smirked as he saw Neji, the always so cold and emotionless Hyuuga blush and nod. 'Isn't that the boy that Naruto guy beat?' Temari asked in astonishment as she looked over to them when she saw the face of the girl. 'And isn't that that weak weapon girl from the fight before the final exam?' as she was even more shocked to see those two together. 'Indeed they are, they've bin in one team for several years now and I thought they never found each others love' Shikamaru smirked as he saw the two blush and blinked to Neji as he formed the seals again and the steam raised.

'Lets get out of here Shika-kun' Temari said as she pulled the stunned Shikamaru out of the water 'What's up with you?' she said as he thought "What have I done? She called me Shika-kun already!" he stood up, nodded and walked to the lockers as he tried to stop his nose from beginning to bleed as Temari was all soaked and was sticking to her body like a second skin, luckily she didn't notice.

'I think they're leaving' Neji whispered into Tenten's ear as he turned his head looking at the exit, he suddenly grew a faint red. Tenten followed his eyes and saw he was looking at Temari who had the towel suck to her tight body revealing a very nice bottom and some well shaped curves as she slapped him on his cheek. 'If you want to see something look at me' she said madly as she kissed his forehead and removed her towel again.

Temari and Shikamaru changed and went out to decide what to do next. 'Do you know any quiet spots in Konoha where we won't be disturbed' she asked as she pulled her cloak tightly since it began snowing again. 'I might know a place, it's not far from here but I don't know if where safe there' he smiled as he looked at the girl, she was wearing several clothing layers and a big cloak yet she was still cold.

He whore only his normal clothes, the Chuunin vest and instead of sandals boots to protect his toes from the cold as he had a big cloak wrapped around him as well. 'Good lets go there right now' she only replied when she followed him as he walked away.

They arrived at a small thee house but not the normal one, one with a closed front and a small door at the side. 'They're closed Shika-kun, the sign here says so' she said as she watched Shikamaru walk to the door and open it. 'They always do that so that we can drink in peace and not be disturbed' he smiled as he opened the door. 'This is where I hide every now and then if a mission or training gets to troublesome, or when my mother is looking for me' he smiled even more as he held the door open for her.

Once inside they quickly removed their cloaks as it was really hot inside, Temari removed her first 2 layers and only left a simple dress on. 'Finally someone who understands the meaning of the right temperature' she said as she felt the warmth and she turned to Shikamaru.

She saw him take off his Chuunin vest and remove his jacket as well. 'What are you doing Shika-kun?' she asked as she saw him remove his boots and walk to the bar. 'Its so damn hot in here, they always do this' he just replied as he nodded to the girl behind the bar who pointed out to a dark corner. 'Here I found us seats' he said as he walked to the curtain, pulled it aside and they found a large U-shaped couch of dark red fabric and a small table in the middle, 'This is a good spot' he said as he sat down while the girl came with two cups and a small tea pot.

Shikamaru leaned onto the back as Temari crawled up to him and leaned against him while she sat between his legs. "I like this bar" she thought. "He can't stand the heat unless he's almost naked and we can be alone in the barely lighted dark" she smiled with an evil grin as she turned around and found a Shikamaru sweating already while drinking some steaming tea.

'You can't handle this nice warmth?' she said as she felt his chest letting him twitch his eye brows for a second after she continued to massage his chest. 'I'm comfortable with it but it's just so hot' he said as he put his cup down. She continued massaging his chest until he grabbed her hand. 'You don't like it?' she asked as he pushed her away from him. 'Of course I don't like it' he said with a neutral voice.

'I love it' he smiled as she was about to cry about what he said before. 'YOU!' she cried out when he gave her a peck on the kiss and he drank some more tea. He lay down and gave her a wink as she continued to massage him, as the couch was really wide she lay next to him as he stroke with his fingers trough her hair, letting out a small sounds of pleasure. 'I think I love you' she suddenly whispered as she turned to him more and began nibbling his wounded ear again. "Oh man what have I gotten myself into now" he thought as he turned to her and for a moment there was a silence.

'Well? Do you' she asked almost offended that he didn't say anything. "I can't just say no because I think I love her as well but I can't just bluntly say yes!" was one of the few dozen thoughts that raged in his head as he found the answer, he closed his eyes, smirked and began kissing her. She smiled and kissed back as she knew guys can't be so forward after one kiss, but by the way he touched her and kissed her she knew for sure; she found her love.
