Disc: NerdMoment doesn't own Naruto D:
Just Give Me 10 Days!!
Chapter 2: Guess Who!!
Temari frowned, glaring at Kankuro. "No." Her answer was plain and simple. What was she saying no to? No, they were not allowed to kick Shikamaru's ass. Regardless of whether or not he was currently dating a whore. Why would they even ask something like that?! They knew she liked him, and wouldn't let anyone besides herself kick his lazy ass. She huffed slightly, crossing her arms over her chest. Stupid siblings. Stupid Shikamaru. Stupid…just stupid. Well at least there were only 9 days left…excluding today of course. She wondered if the extra 8 days be necessary after tomorrow? She was absolutely sure she would win…she had to.
If she didn't, she'd just beat up the lazy nerd until there was nothing left of him for the slut.
She really should stop calling her demeaning names…It wasn't good for her health.
Kankuro whined, while Gaara grunted in obvious disappointment. "Ah C'mon Tem!! I promise we won't kill him!" Tch, Yeah Right.
Gaara smiled slightly…and quite menacingly. "Speak for yourself." His icy jade eyes closed in sheer bliss. Just by his features you could tell he was imagining the multiple ways to kill her date. Just by the quiet sigh he made, you could tell these…ways…were very violent, if not just all out graphic gore.
Shivering slightly Kankuro laughed. "Gaara might, but I won't!" he threw his hood back, revealing shaggy brown hair. A thoughtful look was upon his rough features. "Actually…"
Temari had enough. Giving both brothers a swift slap to the head, she scowled. "Exactly the reason, as t why I wouldn't you're crazy asses abusing my boyfri- ." She coughed slightly. "my date…abusing my date." Her pace quickened as she finished her sentence, leaving the males behind a good meter.
Gaara frowned, his brows knitted together. Kankuro gave him a look. Gaara sighed and nodded. "She's serious…about him." Kankuro glanced at Temari quickly. He quirked a brow as if disbelieving his brothers words. Gaara's eyes hardened. "I'm serious." Kankuro frowned, staring hard a Gaara, finally yielding to him he nodded.
"I see."
~Tem*Shika~
Shikamaru gulped; sweat beading at the back of his neck. He was trying, trying so hard. Usually it wouldn't take this much effort, but it was…So intense. He couldn't take much more of this. It seemed like at almost any moment he would be engulfed by the gaze. He opened his mouth but instantly closed it just as quick. The gaze hardened, even more than before, if possible. Too be telling the truth he was at this moment scared shitless. He sucked in a deep breathe through his nose, mustering up the strength to speak. "Is…Is Temari there?"
Gaara frowned. He was tough. The redhead was in the middle of feeding his Venus flytraps when all of a sudden the door rang. Sighing disdainfully he rose setting his little pet down, watching it snap at it's fly's. Poor Shino would be horrified. He dusted off his jeans knees. Adjusting his sunflower hat he pulled off one of his ladybug gardening gloves, but left on the other along with his butterfly apron. Damn it was hot outside. He opened the door to see his new enemy. Shikamaru. Temari's date, crush, date and soon to be deceased boyfriend. Yes he was that confident. He glared at the boy darkly. Wallowing in the fear radiating of the brunette Gaara repressed the urge to chuckle.
"No." With that, he abruptly shut the door.
"Gaara, was the Shikamaru?" Temari peeked her head from inside the living room, a fry in her mouth.
"No."
"Gaara."
"Just some idiot."
"That's Shikamaru."
"Damn, Should've said the mailman."
Temari glared. "The mailman doesn't come here anymore. You scared him off months ago." She sighed at the smile on her brothers' face. Sauntering around the youngest sibling, she opened the door to reveal a disgruntled Shikamaru.
"Hey."
Temari suppressed a blush and waved. "Hi…" she looked around to find Gaara once again glaring at a bluntly traumatized brunette. "I'll be back in a bit Gaara." She slipped on some flats, before shutting the door.
"Sorry, about Gaara, he's very protective." She laughed lightly.
"How…Endearing." He was aiming for troublesome but, okay, that was good too.
Temari apparently had noticed his lack of the word and gave him a surprised look. Shaking it off, she folded her arms behind her back, one of the linking with Shikamaru's. "So where to?"
"There's a carnival in town." He replied dully, a small feeling in the pit of his stomach. It was warm. The feeling increased at the bright smile on her face. It made him smile.
"The carnival it is!" she beamed.
"How troublesome."
There went her joy. She glared at the boy. "I don't suppose your lazy ass is calling me troublesome?"
He shrugged. "Who knows?"
Twitch.
Temari gritted her teeth, pulling out a little fan she always carried with her. She whacked the brunettes head. Hearing him hiss about violent troublesome woman she grinned. "I love you too you idiot." She stiffened, realizing what she said; slowly looking towards Shikamaru she noticed a light blush grazing his face. Their arms were still linked. Perhaps this would work out fine. This little pairing.
"Troublesome."
"Idiot."
Yeah, it would out great.
~Tem*Shika~
"C'mon lazy!! Get your ass over here! We're going on the Ferris wheel." Temari dragged Shikamaru by his ear. She sighed in relief, releasing the ear. "The line's pretty short!"
Rubbing his bruised ear the brunette frowned. "Wonderful" came his sarcastic reply.
Temari smirked. "Get used to it because-."
"Teme! What'd ya do that for!?" She looked around for the familiar voice. Shikamaru cast her glance as to asking who it was. she snickered hearing the next voice.
"Dobe, you were dripping your ice-cream everywhere." She laughed. Shikamaru discovered who it was. Looking I the direction of the voices he saw that rare blond head, a raven next to it.
"Well maybe if you didn't take so long getting it for me, it wouldn't be melting!!" Naruto waved his arms around before pointing to his now empty ice-cream cone in said raven's hand.
"Do try to lower your voice, people are looking at us like were mad people." Sasuke tossed the cone in a nearby trash can, enjoying the way Naruto turned beat red.
"Damnit Teme I could've eaten that!!" The blonde glared at the garbage.
Sasuke ran a hand through his hair, yielding. "Geez Dobe, I'll get you another just calm down."
"I will not! That was oran-." Naruto was immediately silenced with a kiss. Blushing furiously the blond pushed the taller teen away. "Teme!!" He tried to pry the arm now around his waist.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru and Temari chorused in unison.
"Temari!!" Naruto called, even though the female was right there beside him. He was engulfed in a bone crushing hug. "Can't…Breathe." He wheezed.
Laughing Temari apologized before repeating her actions with Sasuke. Then she watched Shikamaru exchange greetings with the two. "So, how are you two doing?"
Naruto returned to his angry state. "He ate my ice-cream! And it was orange flavored!! The nerve!!"
Sasuke sighed, stuffing his hands in his jean pockets. "I'll get you some ramen."
"Okay!!"
They all erupted in laughter as the blond male relished in the afterglow of his victory. "Now Teme, let's go and leave these love birds alone…plus I want my ramen."
Shikamaru stared blankly at the blond who was now holding hands with the Uchiha. "I could say the same for you."
Naruto glared at Shikamaru before tugging Sasuke away. "See you guys later!" he called out, and then completely disappeared from sight.
Temari let out a breath. "Well it was nice to see them so happy." Shikamaru let out a grunt in reply. Punching his shoulder Temari smiled, "C'mon smart stuff, let's go. The line's packed anyways."
~Tem*Shika~
The two stood before Temari's house. Absolute silence between them. Temari fidgeted with her fan while Shikamaru stood there looking bored. Her gaze fell upon his eyes, and an instant blush was applied. She straightened up giving Shikamaru a soft look, at which caused a chain reaction making him blush. Grinning at the look, she took a step towards him. He averted her eyes.
"Thanks." He looked at her. For the first time Temari looked pretty sincere.
"You're Welcome. " No more lazy, forced words. No sarcastic replies. No little mutters of 'Troublesome.' Just real.
They leaned in on each other, hairs away.
"Temari's home." The two jumped, Gaara stood before them in the doorway apron on, oven gloves on, soufflé in hands.
"Screw it!" Temari latched her arms around Shikamaru's neck, pressing her lips onto his. He gave in licking her bottom lip, gaining him entrance to her warm cavern. Running his tongue along her teeth, he relished in the taste of Temari. His Temari. Their tongues rubbed at each other fighting for dominance. And surprising as it was Temari won. Grinning against his lips she let go of him, puling away. Winking, she walking into her house closing the door on a lonely and dumbfounded Shikamaru.
"Troublesome."
~Tem*Shika~
How was that!? Plan to put up pictures of the siblings and Gaara in both gardening and cooking outfits…once my scanner stops being a bum.
