When shikamaru woke he found no-one and the darn sun was setting. He pulled himself up off the ground and began to walk home the same way he came. He decided to go see kankuro. He walked up the stairs calculateing where the room would be exactly. "the stairs were sucha long way up"he thought.He heard yelling from the hallway and froze in front of the door about to noc.

"hzhsahahahahah ahhhhhhhhhhhhh get off me bitch, whore, slut …….bitch!" "kankuro , I will KILL you without hesitation!" "but wats stopping u huh, do u love me huh? Huh?" "stop it we have a visiter" said gaara opeing the door to the apartment with his sand. "uhhh….hi "said shikamaru. "well if it isn't the almighty crybaby, ur safe this time idiot" she said the last part leaning down to kankuro and realeseing him. " well we're goin for dricks ahhh (cokeing sounds)" " yes we are … aren't we?" said temari from the hold she had around kankuros neck. "hn" stated gaara walking out the door.

The night went smoothly. (enough). Temari drank and drank and drank…e.t.c. She also had an odd influence on shikamaru to drink more too."ands then I hic kicked that moefo and he ne his er came back" slured kankuro. "I member him!" yelled temari. "hn?"was all gaara could say he sat next to the group sipping his drink for the last 4 hours. "well im going cya" said kakuro standing and swaying. Gaara and him left the bar and walked up the street without a second thought.

"so, where do u live?" asked temari becoming perfectly sober. Shikamaru missed this considering he was off his face. "ur hot" he said in a low whisper passing out. "ah miss are u two ok on going home?, I mean ur husbend dosen't look to well" said the bartender in amazement as temari stood up without ant effort after all those drinks she had. " hes not my husbend and he'll be fine." She swung him over her shoulder and walked out side. Shikamaru woke up slwoly. "YOU!" he shouted sobering a little. "me?"said temari from her chair in front of him. She tossed a coffe at him and he caught it without any trouble. "feeling ok ?"she asked with a soft smile. "yeah" he replied.her smile began to fade slowly, as she went to sip her coffe. "are u.. ok?"he asked standing and walking over to her.he didn't notice her hair was down until then. She looked ….wats the word …HOT!. "yeah, just…just thinking is all."she replied looking up at him. They had known each other for years and nothing had occurred between them except shikamaru spoke his mind more offten and she began to become softer around him.

Shikamaru began to think."she is tough and shes becoming soft I remember dad talking to me about something like that but wat was it?". "shikamaru? Can i…stay here to..night?"she asked standing and walking over to him. She looked beautiful in this light. She had him between the wall and her. "s…sure!" he looked around. OMG this was his house "how did u know where I lived?" lukily ur mum was out at the mall and was walking home wen she saw us" said temari. "oh….OH! YOU MEAN SHE SAW ME PASSED OUT ON UR SHOULDER!!??"

"shikaku?" said yoshino as she prodded him with her fingers. "groan waaat?" "I think our son is sleeping with that sand kanoichi downstairs" "thats nice, honey"answered shikaku as he began to drift back asleep "SHIKAKU!!! They're probly not using protection!!" she wispered sternly. "u worry too much go back to sleep" he replied going to sleep this time. "pfft"

Shikamaru walked quietly up the stairs with temari holding his hands as they swished quickly pasted his perants room. "I can't belive you live with ur perants still" stated temari in his room. "I don't ,I actully have my own appartment in this compound but I rarely use it wen mum wants me over every ten seconds" he replied falling onto his bed and closeing his eyes. "well where am I gonna sleep?"she asked walking over to him. He opened one eye and rolled to the otherside of his bed. She smiled and sat down, deliberetly taking her time to get comfortable and kicking him in the process. "damn it woman stop-"he rolled over and found himself in her jade green eyes. she smiled and leaned in to kiss him. It was short just a tiny peck but to him it meant more then that. "I remember now" he thought. Anomnious flashback music

(flashback)

Shikaku:"shikamaru"

shikamaru:"huh?"

shikaku:"without woman men cannot be born,without women men become useless. No matter what kind of woman she may be , she will show her nice side to the man she loves."

Shikamaru thinkin: "you never speak up in front of mum, watever, dad"

Shikaku: "when your older you'll understand…… ah oops, we better hurry up and finnish here, if we're late your mother will scold me again. Hurry up shikamaru!"

Shikamaru: "and then there are the men that become usless even with women around"

(end of flaxhback)

"well, wat was that for?"he asked moving closer to her. "I dunno, its just you've left an impression on me" temari said finding his hand and holding it. "its troublesome to say but you've become a really nice woman and I like that about you" he said putting his forehead on hers. "troublsome to say but you say it anyway?" she asked rolling over and closeing her eyes. "yes"

"WHERE WERE U GUYS LAST NIGHT!!??" yelled kankuro as they rounded the corner holding hands. "mabe if you didn't leave without us you would have known!" temari shouted lifting her fist in an angrey growl."ok ok ok it's ok ok ok" he said placeing his hands in front of him in an atempt for defence."ok" was all temari said as she walked pasted and smiled. "dude, did temari get kidnapted?"asked kakuro feeling his nose for invisable breakages. "no, we just talked last night. U should really leave her alone u know" spoke shikamaru watching temari enter the building with a smile.
