Chapter 4

Shikamaru laid on the forest ground watching the clouds go by."Geez I wonder what Temari is up to she did say something about going to the hot springs maybe i'll stop by. Shikamaru closed his eyes but before he could fall asleep there was a moist feeling on his face none other than the protective deer licking his face. "Aw man guys I'm Tryna take a nap this is suppose to be my sleeping time what a drag. Shikamaru gave the deer some berries from a nearby bush he smiled as they ate from his hand "Temari would really like you guys she'll find all of you adorable.

"Shikamaru is a very secretive guy Tem trust me I know especially growing up with him and Choji,Ino said while floating in the springs. "Oh Ino what do you know you could be totally wrong'' Sakura shouted at the flower blonde while Temari lingered on Ino's statement she thought to herself…"What secrets does shika have could he be cheating or what no Shikamaru would never do that he tells me everything Right? "Temari are you okay, she snapped out her thoughts to see her friends looking at her. Hinata got out of the springs and wrapped herself in a towel "guys I'm going to go in the steam room see you guys there.

"Hey Guys do you think Shikamaru is cheating on me? Tenten spoke first "of course he isn't Tem Shikamaru is not like that and besides he's to lazy to even try and date other women right Guys, she looked over at Sakura and Ino who agreed with a nod. "Yeah Lazy doesn't even talk that much anymore he's been so uptight every since Asuma's Death. Temari shot ino a sharp look "Ino who is Asuma I've seen him once at the chunin exams?Ino Smiled and looked at Sakura and Tenten for backup. Hey bigmouth you should have kept quiet now you have to tell her who asuma is Sakura Said while climbing out the water. Ino Let a sound of annoyance come out "alright fine but let's get out of this water.

The four girls went and sat in some nearby chairs. Ino Spoke "Okay Temari before I say anything this is between us four Hinata will know later ok…. "Got it.. "Alright so you guys know that Asuma was our sensei right.. "Oh yeah didn't he die Tryna save some family from a fire,Tenten asked. "Not really he got cut down right in front of Shikamaru by an akatsuki member named Hidan. Temari's heart Dropped. "Asuma had a very high bounty and they wanted it for some reason but Sensei couldn't beat both members at the same time. "Okay then what, Temari asked waiting impatiently. "Shikamaru is going to kill me,Ino now had a worried look on her face.

Ino took a deep breath, "Asuma died that night right in front of me Choji and Shikamaru it really had an impact on us but it hit shika a completely different way. Ino wiped tears from her eyes as she reminisced the day of her sensei's death, "As for the akatsuki members they returned for a fight but naruto took out the first guy with no problem at all as for hidan Shika took him deep into their forest and decapitated him limb from limb and buried him 6 feet under with paper bomb traps. Temari looked as if she was about to puke, "why has he been keeping this from me it's not just him burying a man alive but also keeping it a secret that means he could have more secrets! Temari's heart was now filled with anger and disappointment.

Later that morning the girls decided to meet back up later for drinks Shikamaru arrived at the hot springs to walk with temari. "Hey Temari, the girl just nodded her head and started the walk home."I guess you're not in a talking mood today huh you don't have to be a drag sometimes geez. Temari looked at the blacked haired man with an devilish look in her eye "Oh Nara you have the nerve but please i'd rather walk home alone if your going to piss me off please I've had a shitty morning thanks to this one liar in my life! Shikamaru started to speak but temari's outburst had taken the words out his mouth.

The walk home was quiet and the vibe was tense when they reached temari's home she prepared herself for her night out later she just wanted to get her mind off Shikamaru for a little while. Temari was undressing in the bathroom when she heard a knock "WHAT DO YOU WANT NARA! her voice was louder then normal. "You haven't said two words to me that wasn't an insult it seems that you're upset about something you ever consider talking about it, Shikamaru let a yawn out and leaned on the bathroom door. Temari took a deep breath "Shikamaru just leave me alone you've already did enough damage, "Hmph well if your gonna be like that Temari then I'm just going to go see you late. When Temari heard the front door shut she fell to the floor and began to let tears fall.
