So Shikamaru, Naruto, Bri, and Sai (I don't know, he just tagged along) were sitting in Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto was slurping up his fifth bowl of ramen and Sai was staring at Bri.
"Oh man! I remember now! That this is the best ramen I ever had in my life!" Bri took up the noodles with her chop sticks and copied Naruto. "By the way, uh, Shikamaru-ni-san?" (I messed it up, I know. -.-) "Why are you here with us anyway?"
"You know, in case I need to remind you of something." Shikamaru turned his attention back to his half-eaten ramen.
"And uh..." She looked at Sai, who gave her the closed-eyed and toothless fake smile. (It's very hard to forget that stupid smile. -_-") "Sai, why are you here?"
"Oh, just observing...um..." Sai was thinking to himself What should be her nickname? Sakura said physical traits might help, but some books say it's better to do with personality traits. "...Stubborn."
Sai's face was suddenly introduced to the floor as Bri's foot tipped his chair. "Oops, sorry Sai."
Then Bri noticed Shikamaru, who was looking at Sai with a look that said Man, that was stupid of you. She noticed how the sunlight outside hit his face and made his eyes shine. And Bri remembered how he smiled, the smile she always thought before as a sweet and brotherly smile. Bri Nara blushed at the memory.
Sai looked up and saw Bri blushing. That way she's looking at Shikamaru... It's almost like the way Hinata looks at Naruto. Or Ino looks at me. What does that mean?
"Uh...Shika-ni-san?" Bri was blushing, and for some reason her fingers kept twitching.
"What?"
"..."
"Well, what is it?"
"Well, uh, I remember...this special spot you have...want to...um..."
Then a new voice cut into this meek conversation. "Hey! There you are!"
Then a head poked into Ichiraku's. It was a young lady with sandy-colored hair tied up in four pigtails. She had emerald eyes that were looking gently at Shikamaru. Temari.
When Bri looked at Temari, a lot of memories came back. Most of which were rather sadistic and violent fantasies of Bri killing Temari. (Let's just say that in my imagination, Hidan's more merciful than I am O.o) And of Temari's first visit to the Leaf Village. Bri remembered that she hated Temari's guts, but she couldn't remember why.
"T-Temari?!" Naruto glanced from Bri to Temari and quickly put Bri in a headlock and covered her mouth. "Oh, uh, hi Temari!"
"Ah, Naruto. And...you. Why is it that every time I see you, you look like that?"
"Miff miff miff!!!" ("I hate you! I can't remember why, but I hate you!")
"So you still remember Bri?" Naruto asked.
"Well, of course. It's kind of hard to forget about her."
***Flashback***
Two years ago, first time.
Bri and Suka were walking in the hospital, Suka just finished hearing about how Neji was bad injured but still alive. They were about to visit Naruto and Choji when Temari and Shikamaru came down the hall. Shikamaru was looking grim while Temari was comforting him.
Bri remembered that TEMARI saved Shikamaru from the flute-witch, but also it was TEMARI who wanted to kill Shikamaru during the chuunin exams match. One of the girls who makes every ShikaXFangirl romance almost impossible. The girl standing with Shikamaru right now! Bri was seeing red.
"FAN-WITCH!!!" Bri put her hands together into a handsign. "Shadow Dome Prison Jutsu!" (Before you ask, yes, I made this up. No, it's not a rip-off of Jiroubo's Earth Dome Prison. -_-)
Temari was trapped in a black bubble that came out of Bri's shadow. "What the-?!"
Bri had a sadistic laugh prepared. "Ahahahaha! Finally, now's my chance! Now, what should I do?! Carve my name into that pretty little face of yours?! Or slice you beyond recognition?!" With every word, pointy spikes were creeping out of the inward walls of the bubble. (I warned you I was sadistic when it comes to Temari.)
Suka grabbed Bri's arms and covered her mouth. The shadow-bubble popped when Suka broke the handsign. "What the heck do you think you're doing?! She just saved Shikamaru's life!"
"Miff miff mi miff miff miff!!!" ("That's exactly why I hate her, saving him after she tried to kill him first!!!")
"Uh...who is she?" Temari asked.
"My...cousin, Bri," Shikamaru answered.
"No way is this your cousin. Not with that jealousy in her eyes."
"Miff miff miff miff!" ("I'm not jealous of you, fan-witch!")
"Well, anyway, I'll see you later." Temari stopped walking away and smiled at Shikamaru. "You big crybaby." She continued walking.
"MIFF! MIFF MIFF!!!" ("THAT'S IT! THAT LITTLE NO-GOOD FAN-WITCH IS GOING DOWN!!!")
***End of Sadistic Flashback***
"Well, I came because a certain someone has to help with some paperwork."
"Oh, alright." Shikamaru got up and walked out of Ichiraku's.
"Miff miff..." ("Shikamaru-ni-san, wait...")
"Naruto, I think Bri wants you to let her go," Sai said.
"NO WAY! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HOW BRI GETS WHEN SHE SEES TEMARI! SHE'S EVEN SCARIER THAN SAKURA!"
On the inside, Sai shuddered at the idea. "But Bri has no memory, so she can't remember any jutsu. And she can't remember why she hates Temari."
"Miff miff miff, miff miff." ("Emo Artist has a point, now let go.")
Naruto let go of Bri, and she dashed into the streets.
