Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Naruto yet. But I think if I plot hard enough I might be able to! ;)

HUGE THANKS to my reviews!
Lady Temari: Haha I know all you Irish people seem to stick together :P Fine with me though I love having 2 days to celebrate!
Sheeeeru: Thank you! At first I felt like this chapter was a bit out of character for them but then I thought about it & I can see them playing around like this when no one else was around to witness it.
Dr. Whitey: I love that "Drinking with the Spirit of the Buffalo!" I hope this chapter is a little more cutesy. I think it's a more playful & actually flirty then the ones before it.

A/N: Everyone I have bad news, good news, better news! Bad news I am going on vacation next week & not sure when I am coming back sometime late Friday I think. So I figured this would be a good time to put an intermission on this story. But I would never leave you guys hanging so for the good news I am going to post up a new story Monday night or Tuesday before I leave. Better news you guys will get to choose the story! There will be more posted in an authors note after this chapter! NOW TO THE STORY!

EASTER

Shikamaru looked across the counter at Temari who was busy looking down at her work in front of her. He looked around at the 2 dozen eggs sitting in front of each of them they couldn't have done more then 4 & he was already bored. He didn't know why they agreed to help his mom dye Easter eggs to hide for the children. Oh wait that's right they didn't have a choice. He moved over to grab something knocking one of the finished eggs on the floor where it broke getting egg all over the floor Temari looked up from what she was doing to glance at the mess.
"Egg down I repeat egg down! Someone get the medic!" She shouted sarcastically he looked at her annoyed.
"Oh shut it." He said getting up to get a rag to clean the floor. If his mom saw he spilt on her clean floor she'd flip.
"That wouldn't have happened if you'd just hard boil your eggs like I did." She said in a matter of factly sing song tone.

She knew with out even looking at him he was rolling his eyes & probably mumbling about her. This fact that would probably annoy other people just made her smile.
"It wouldn't make a difference." He said standing up as he finished cleaning the mess.
"Oh are you sure?" She asked with a smirk he looked at her he knew that smirk it meant she thought of something.
"Yes I am sure now what's with the smirk?" He asked she just looked at him & grabbed 2 of her eggs & 1 of his playing with them on the counter mindlessly.
"What do you say to a little game of chance?" She said he raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean troublesome woman?" He asked sitting down she continued to move all the eggs back & forth before setting them in front of him in a line.
"2 of these are hard boiled which are mine & 1 isn't which is yours. Pick one & smash it on your head. See if you still think your right or not." She said still smirking at him he shook his head.
"Oh hell no what do you think I am crazy?" He said she just shrugged.
"Kind of."
"Not that crazy Temari sorry." He said she looked at him with a slight pout.
"Oh come on I want to see this now I'll even do it with you. Winner gets what ever they want." She said he looked at her as she gave him puppy dog eyes.
"What is wrong with you woman?" He asked grabbing one of the eggs not knowing exactly why he always gave into her plans for him to humiliate himself like this. Oh wait yes he did those big damn eyes he just couldn't say no. She smiled taking another one.

"Ok on the count of 3…1,2,3." She said as they both hit their heads at the same time everything stood quiet for a moment before Temari spoke. "Oww that kind of hurt." She said looking at him laughing. "I guess I win then."
"Yeah yeah…" He said going to grab a towel to start trying to get the egg out of his hair. This girl was totally out of her mind & dragged him along for the ride. But if that's the way she wanted to be he'd play right along with her he thought with a smirk walking to the frig.
"You up for another game?" He asked pulling out 2 sodas she shrugged.
"You know I never back down from a challenge." She said watching as he sat down keeping his hands under the table before putting the two sodas in front of her.
"One of these has been shook up one hasn't. Pick one." He said she glared at him for a second but shrugged & grabbed a can opening it causing soda to get all over her & the kitchen.
"Oh my god you ass!" She said trying to sound mad but failing as she couldn't help but laugh.
"You started it." He shrugged opening the other soda taking a drink she just glared at him before grabbing the closest object she could get her hands on & chucked it at him hitting him in the chest.

"Did you just hit me with an orange?" He asked confused.
"Yup you just got beat with citrus." She said sticking out her tongue he rolled his eyes if she wanted to be like that he thought with a smirk. He then took his soda throwing the liquid of the half full can at her. She got up & jumped out of the way.
"Oh you ass!" She said reaching over to grab the closest thing again this time finding a piece of chocolate cake she had been eating earlier. She smirked picking it up & looking at him.
"Oh you wouldn't!" He said jumping off his chair grabbing an egg for self defense.
"Why shouldn't I?" She asked with a laugh.
"Because I will egg you don't think I won't." He said watching her every move.
"Try it!" She said stepping closer so he threw the egg at her hitting her in the arm. "Oww! That was hard boiled you moron!" She yelled throwing the cake at him hitting him with a laugh.
"Oh this means war now." He said turning around.

He knew he had the advantage of knowing the lay out of the kitchen. Opening the jar behind him he grabbed a hand full of the white substance & threw it at her covering her in flour. Reaching behind her she grabbed the hose for the sink & pointed it at him turning it on. Running over to the frig Shikamaru opened the door to block the water coming at him. Grabbing something he shut the frig & ducked out of the way behind the counter.
"Come on out cry baby." She called with a laugh little did she know he was waiting for just that opportunity to jump out catch her from behind to squirt a bottle of chocolate syrup on her making her let out a small yell as she ran to the opposite side of the kitchen.
"Ok what do you say we call a truce?" He asked laughing at their little food fight.
"I don't think so Nara." She said opening the frig it took her a moment to find what she was looking for but she pulled it out with a smirk he looked at her wide eyed.
"Oh come on Temari it's a joke. Don't get carried away." He said putting his hands up innocently.
"Don't worry I don't think this getting carried away." She said pointing the can of whipped cream at him like a gun.
"Your version of getting carried away differs from a lot of peoples." He said with a smirk as she stepped closer to him.
"Watch it!" She threatened still holding the can. In one quick movement he went to grab the can from her. Instead he tripped on the slippery floor covered in water, flour, chocolate, & soda taking her down with him & the can of whipped cream flying.

"Are you ok?" He asked looking down at her worried as he sat over her. Taking a moment she nodded slightly.
"Yeah I've had worse." She said that was when he noticed her hands moving up trying to grab the can again.
"Oh no you don't!" He said pinning her hands down with his as they both started laughing. It was a lot easier then he imagined it to be as he realized how small she felt under neither him. He soon got lost in these thoughts he couldn't imagine ever picturing the bossy loud mouth blonde as small but yet that was the only thing that came to his mind as he looked down at her.

They laid on the ground both totally covered in food when it suddenly hit them the how close they where & the position they were in but neither bothered to pull away as he continued to pin her arms above her head. Instead they just looked at one another for a few moments as she bit her lip slightly looking up at him.
"Temari…" He said quietly. He hadn't even realized that he was moved close enough to kiss her now it wasn't anything he planned but he for once just followed his instinct as he closed his eyes slightly moving to close the gap between them.

That was until they heard a shriek coming from the entry way.
"Mom's home." He mumbled.

Ok honestly I wasn't a fan of that chapter when I wrote it but it seems the more I read it the more I like it. I hope you all liked it to & didn't feel totally OCC. Remember to read my authors note & remember I always love reviews!
