-His Favorite Place

_-0-_

Intelligence office of Konohagakure

A loud sound of the door opened, was heard trough the office and everyone in it turned their head exactly at the door seeing the Hokage making such a dramatic entrance then shouts the name

"SHIHO!" then continues to go in with the sand siblings and their former teacher Baki.

"Shiho we need you to identify this letters written chakra, right now"

"eh! B…but that is too difficult" cries the light blonde girl wearing a white lab coat and also wearing her huge swirly glasses definitely makes her look like a nerd, a bookworm kind of nerd.

"Come on!" whines Naruto

"I, okay I'll go ask Dr. Yankee if he could perform that jutsu" says Shiho who is heading right now to the said doctor. "Alright now all we just have to do is wait here for the results!" determined Naruto when Gaara suddenly ask a very interesting question "Who is this Dr. Yankee, she speaks of?"

"That I don't know, I think that's just a character made up by the one doing this story, so we better leave it by that"

"If you say so"

After a minute and so Shiho came with the results and.

"How is this possible?"

"Well Dr. Yankee and I have done everything we could to know who wrote this letters but there's no result, we checked every single piece of letters but the chakra that used to be in the letters have vanished. It's like the chakra had been manipulated at a certain time and date to expire on its own."

The sand siblings were devastated they were dissatisfied from the results so they ask if the known Yamanaka family could do anything about it and so together with Naruto and Baki they all head to the Yamanaka residence for Inoichi to simply look at Gaara's brain and to simply print out the words he had read from the letter and to review of whoever it is, that is believed Temari's secret lover.

Ooo0000ooO

Then finally they have reached the Yamanaka household and of course they knock first before entering not forgetting their poise and manner. The one that opened the door is of course the head of the family, Inoichi. They were allowed to come in and they directly ask for help. Without any question he immediately performed his special jutsu and once inside Gaara's mind he immediately located the notes written onto the letter he has read earlier and had it printed out by using his other special technique.

After an hour or so Inoichi has written every letter on a piece of paper and underlined the most interesting facts in the letter:


"Dear Temari,

How are you? I've been missing you a lot lately. When are you coming back to Konoha?

It is troublesome to just play shogi with the old man all day, it's getting boring here without you and it seems as if it's beginning to become quite lonely just watching over the clouds all by myself. God I really miss you a lot, just looking at the clouds admiring their shape reminds me of you. Some clouds I see these days give out a shape of four ponytails and I find it ridiculous.

Temari I really miss you, can't you just tell your brothers you're coming here to have some meeting with the Konoha's embassador or something? Just make up a lie so that the two of us could just get together even if it's just one troublesome night just the two of us.

Just thinking about you gives back the heated memories of a rainy night here in Konoha. The two of us all alone in my house all wet from the rain and lust has taken control of us…."


"Okay so here are all the key words I found in this letter, it seems that this person's favorite word is troublesome, he likes to play shogi, and it also appears that his hobby is cloud watching. Do you happen to know a guy with this kind of nature?" ask seriously by Inoichi.

"Well, I sort of a know a guy like that…" says Naruto making a guess pose

"hmn, I don't know if this could help but knowing my daughter as the gossip girl of Konoha, maybe she knows who this is" replies Inoichi with such confidence and such annoyed features. Confidence because he is sure about this and annoyed because instead of being serious on her studies and work she still continues to mingle at such trivial gossips lurking all around Konoha.

"If you say so, where is she?"

"She is at the Hospital right now." After hearing this everyone went out immediately.

"Thank you for your hospitality and thank you also for helping us" thanked Gaara as he lowered his head for thanks and headed out right away. Inoichi just nodded and signed and said "this should be my day off."

~~~~~the hospital~~~~~

"Welcome Hokage sama" welcomed the nurse just about to go out of the Hospital to do some kind of errand.

"Do you happen to see Yamanaka Ino?" ask Kankuro

"Ah, she just took her leave."

"Do you happen to know where she has gone to?" he asks again stopping the nurse from leaving

"I'm afraid I don't know sir" the nurse replied when suddenly Sakura the pinked haired girl who is currently the head nurse, showed up and said "She went out looking for Shikamaru."

"Do you know where we could find her by now?" ask Gaara with complete impatience

"hmn, If she went out looking for Shikamaru. Then she could be in Shikamarus house or Shikamaru's favorite spot." Sakura answered smiling

"Shikamaru's favorite spot, you mean where he usually goes cloud watching?"

A complete intense aura has begun chocking Naruto enabling him to speak more.

"Shikamaru…favorite spot…cloud watching…usually…"Gaara mutters to himself with arms crossed resting in his chest. Deeply thinking about what Naruto just said and also thinking about the keywords Inoichi gave them earlier.

"Kankuro, I think I know who sends such erotic letters to our sister." Gaara announced making everyone look at him.

"Who is it Gaara?" Kankuro and Naruto asked with such intense look

"Erotic letters? What are you guys talking about? And come to think of it I didn't know that Gaara and Kankuro is now herein Konoha ." asked Sakura with such curiosity

"Let us talk about that later for now, you must take us to that place you have speak of" Gaara commanded

"Well if you insist, after this tell me every detail about this matter, understood?" says Sakura clenching her fist and making such an evil smile.

"Deal, Now show as the way" Gaara commanded eagerly though not showing such emotions.

-Shikamaru's Favorite spot-

Up on a small hill where grass can be seen anywhere, there is this huge tree and under it is a man lying upon the shadow of the tree. A man with black hair whose face is quite troubled, why is that? Is he bothered by something? By someone? Or is he just simply troubled by the fact that his girlfriend just suddenly announces the sudden break up and she is in fact pregnant. How can he solve this troubled issue? He can't even face Kurenai, ashamed of the fact that he has done a big mistake of his life. He can't also go home and tell this to his parents that would bring shame to the family, he also can't tell this to his best friend Chouji because Ino would force Chouji into telling her what he just said to Chouji and that is troublesome indeed. He can't even find Temari. He kept on thinking and thinking on what to do. He wanted to find Temari and solve this problem, he wanted to go and say sorry to his most beloved girlfriend, the only girl who could understand him, the only girl that could…..

"Shikamaru there you are I've been searching for you" interrupted Ino

"Why are you here?"

"Well I'm just here to know what was really going on; I mean you were at the hospital with Sabaku no Temari, that's unusual I didn't even hear that she'll be coming here. And that when you went out of the hospital you were all angered up by something, walking out of the hospital without Temari, and not even saying good bye to me, you just snubbed me." complained Ino just standing up with hands rested onto her waist looking down at the lying ninja.

"It is none of your business Ino, now leave." Furiously says Shikamaru

"That's not the right attitude of the man I use to know, he wouldn't raise his voice to a woman especially towards his friends, and you're not the Shikamaru I use to love!" she blurted out uncontrollably, shock by her own words she covered her mouth immediately blushing.

"What did you just say?' ask Shikamaru still shock of what he just heard

"I… I love you, Shikamaru I always have" she finally confessed

"Since when?"

"ever since the war ended, I have completely forgotten about Sasuke, Sai turned me down saying I'm not the type of girl he likes then after a while I just thought of you and how you have comforted me, ever scenes that day I have love you." explained Ino all red, not quite looking at Shikamaru straight in the eyes.

Shikamaru all shock just suddenly hugged Ino tightly. The two just continued on hugging each other, not realizing someone clearly watching them.

A girl with blonde hair all tied up in four pony tails just unconsciously drops her bag full of apples and peaches, her mouth slight open and her eyes full of sorrow. She wanted to cry but her pride wouldn't let her. Her whole body felt numb, her chess suddenly hurts, and her heart just stopped beating. She lifted her hands and quickly holds up her chess, she couldn't bare the pain she is feeling inside. Seeing them made her felt anger, pain, jealousy, sorrow and agony. She clearly felt like someone is stabbing her in the back merciless and she couldn't take it no more so she kneeled down still looking at the two holding each other. Then she lifted her head up to look at the clouds which seem to look like it's going to rain. A one single drop of rain poured down at Temari's left eye making it look like a tear. Then she suddenly stood up and just vanishes to thin air not making a sound, not letting them notice her clearly forgetting her fruits on the ground.

Shikamaru who is still holding Ino shifted his head making his mouth closer to Ino's ears then whispers "Sorry Ino but, I already have someone else, and" he moves away from Ino "she is the only girl I want to be with. I'm sorry"

The rain has poured down

"Oh, I see, who is she?" she disappointingly asks

"It is a secret, we promised each other to keep our relationship hidden so"

He stopped suddenly and making such a pained feature "So I have found you at last you asshole!" says Gaara with complete anger and such a killing intent clearly using his sand to choke Shikamaru. "Where did you hide my sister? What did you do to her huh? You fucking bastard son of a bitch" Shikamaru's breathing stopped so suddenly making his face all pale and blue.

"Gaara! Stop! He wouldn't be able to answer your questions if you continue on choking him to death!" Naruto shouts

"Kankuro! Stop him!" Sakura added

"Sorry Sakura but I have no intention of stopping him, clearly he has seduce our sister onto liking him" Kankuro briefly said not turning away to look at Sakura and just focuses onto Gaara.

"Naruto!" Sakura shouts all nervous

Naruto using his incredible speed he jumped over Gaara's back then hit his neck knocking him off to sleep. "Good thing the Jinchuriki inside him is no more, he could just now sleep and calm down" Naruto says smiling then picks up Gaara and said "Guys should we head on to my house right now? I'm afraid that my wife is clearly waiting for us for dinner" smiled Naruto carrying Gaara onto his back while Ino and Sakura held up Shikamaru about to bring him home but then Naruto commanded them to also bring him with them. The two girls hesitated to follow but ended up doing it.

-O-

On the Konoha's park

A blonde girl all drench because of the rain just seated all motionless onto the bench just looking directly at the parks statue that is made out of silver, copper, and gold. The rain just showers over her as it wouldn't stop. She didn't mind getting all wet from the rain as she looked at the dark sky her face was fool of sorrow and despair. She lifted up her hands above her head and began untying her hair, loosing up her four ponytails. She bitted her lips until it bleed and begun weeping. She ate up her pride and cried all over. Her cries grew louder and louder but no one could hear her as the park was empty because of the heavy rain pouring down from the sky. She was sobbing while she places her right hand on her stomach still feeling sad, she couldn't help not to cry.

_Uzumaki household_

Inside the house, instead of having such a peaceful and happy supper just like what Naruto and Hinata has planned, everyone was all quiet, everyone has this dark aura, everyone is still not sure if the letter did came from the lazy ninja who is still asleep onto the guess room. And everyone can't even talk to Gaara about the matter since his all heated up of anger, he plans to savagely kill Shikamaru while asleep, he plans to give him a slow painful death. Hinata together with Ino and Sakura went out of the dining and went straight to the living room to also talk about this matter leaving Naruto,Gaara and Kankuro, and also Baki who is all quiet and hasn't talk not even oncen in the dining.

"Gaara what makes you think that Shikamaru is the one" Naruto asked not hesitating

"Naruto I can clearly notice that he is the guy that sends those love letters to my sister" determined Gaara

"Well, if you say so."

"Gaara when the time Shikamaru wakes up, control yourself" Naruto kindly ask but Gaara just wouldn't listen and instead he told Naruto that he wouldn't hurt him but if he tries to run or lie he will definitely break every piece of his bones and eat his guts raw and make his skin into a leader jacket or a huge banner to display on Sunagakure's gate. Naruto tought about at first and agreed by doing their secret best friend hands shake.

"Guys Shikamaru's finally awake!" shouted Sakura

"Hinata you know what to do" say Ino

"R..Right!" then positions her eyes on the door where they expect Shikamaru and Sakura coming in the room. "BYAKUGAN" shouts Hinata then vains reached on her eyes as she sees Shikamaru's chakra and everybody else's. by this she can see if Shikamaru is lying or not or if he is planning something to escape.

Then Naruto brought out a chair while Baki holds a rope planning to tie Shikamaru up not making him do something while Gaara who is trying his best not to go wild and kill Shikamaru just bit his lips till it's bleeding and tries hard to hold his sands floating around him.

Shikamaru and Sakura finally walked inside the room over flowing of such a dark and intense aura.

"Shikamaru… you're here at last" evil grins of Kankuro

Naruto lightened up the dark room revealing everyone who's in the room and forcefully makes Shikamaru sit down the old brown chair and Baki shows up and ties him up. While Ino just steps outside unable to watch the scenery.

Shikamaru all shock of what just happened and shock about the sand siblings being here only said one thing

"shit…"
