A/N: I'm baaaaack. I wasn't gonna continue this one but people like it so I guess I will.
She kissed him right back.
"Ahem." Tsunade coughed. Shikamaru and Temari didn't part.
"Ahem." Tsunade said louder.
They still ignored her.
"SHIKAMARU NARA!" Tsunade screamed.
Shikamaru broke off from Temari's lips.
"What?" he said mildly irritated that she had interrupted them.
"You will escort Temari around town as an escort and only an escort. You are both dismissed." Tsunade growled as she stood up.
"Thank you for letting me stay, Tsunade-sama." Temari mumbled.
They walked out of the doors of the Hokage tower. Shikamaru had a slight blush but Temari's face was pure red.
"Is that really why you came here?" Shikamaru asked.
"Ya." Temari said avoiding his gaze and blushing even more.
They continued to walk in silence, Shikamaru because he was in deep thought and Temari because she was too embarrassed that she had actually admitted to this laze that she liked him.
"Ha, that's why you were being so nice." Shikamaru chuckled as he finally realized the reason behind her being nice.
"What's that supposed to mean? When am I not nice?" She shouted as she grabbed her fan off of her back.
"Nothing, nothing." Shikamaru said, backpedaling because of his last words.
"What ever. Where's the farmer's market?" Temari asked as she affixed her fan back on her back.
"It's over here." Shikamaru said as he navigated through the crowded streets of Konoha.
They spent the rest of the afternoon at the farmer's market. And, even though Temari clearly had feelings for Shikamaru, she never passed up an opportunity to whack him over the head.
At the end of the night, Shikamaru walked Temari to her usual hotel.
"I'll pick you here tomorrow, okay?" Shikamaru asked.
"I'd like that." Temari said as she smiled that made Shikamaru's heart beat quicker. He leaned in and kissed her.
"Goodnight." He said as he pulled away from a blushing Temari and walked into the night.
Shikamaru still couldn't wipe the smile off of his face as he opened the door to his house. He shrugged off his vest and hopped down on the couch.
He closed his eyes and remembered the day's momentous events.
He almost nodded off into unconsciousness but was sadly awakened by a sharp tap on his head. He slowly opened his eyes into thin slits and stared into the face of a messenger hawk.
"Aw, crap." Shikamaru muttered. A messenger hawk could mean only one of two things: an immediate mission or a summon to the Hokage's office.
He sighed as he untied the letter from the leg of the bird. He cursed explicit words and shooed the bird away.
He opened the scroll.
Shikamaru,
It's great to see you have a budding social life, but not with the sister of the Kazekage!! He'd have you skinned alive. I specifically asked you not to get involved with her but you did it anyway. You already know what your punishment will be so I expect you to report to me tomorrow because I've decided to give you the team tomorrow. I hope this'll be enough of a warning to keep you away from her.
See you tomorrow!
Tsunade
Shikamaru read over the letter 3 more times. "Oh shit." Was all he said.
A/N: Gomen nesai that it's so pitifully short. It's building up for the next chapter. I'll try posting it Friday becuase I'll have lots and lots of free time. Tell me if I totally butchered this story or not!!
