Chapter 4: A Closet Pervert?
Sakura was sitting on a bench sipping a cup of tea while Ino who was admiring a picture of Shikamaru beside her. "Oh, Shikamaru," Ino purred seductively.
"Can you stop that?! It's damn creepy!" Sakura complained feeling annoyed. Just then the sky seemed to get darker and the two looked up to see a strange object blocking the sun. "What is that?"
At the same time in another part of Konoha someone else noticed the strange object. It was none other than Kiba Inuzuka. "Weird," He thought and used his nose to try to find out what that thing was, his eyes widened, "Is that …?!"
A few moments later Naruto abruptly woke to the sound of a crash! His eyes scanned past the new hole in his roof to see a body lying on the floor. That body belonged to the one and only Shikamaru Nara, the lazy cloud gazer. "Troublesome woman," he said.
-Flashback-
Shikamaru woke that morning to the sound of moving blankets and when he opened his eyes he had no idea where he was. Then the memories of last night crashed into him like a freight train. Somewhere along the line he had fallen asleep and so unwillingly stayed the night under Temari's bed. "This is such a drag," Shikamaru thought. Just then a pair of legs swung themselves over the side of the bed. He could see in the mirror opposite him that Temari was sitting with her face in her hands, probably trying to become fully awake. Then with a yawn she stood and to Shikamaru's shock started undressing! Within a few minutes she was only clad in her dark purple underwear revealing a beautifully curved figure, not too skinny and just right for Shikamaru, he didn't like it when girls starved themselves to death just to look 'good'. His face turned as red as a tomato and he could swear he felt a nose bleed coming on. Then Temari then started reaching for the back of her bra so she could take it off! Shikamaru's heart was thumping so fast and hard he didn't know how she couldn't hear it. The bra came undone and by now blood was pouring from his nose. (A/N: Who knew Shikamaru was such a perv?) In fact he got so excited that his head moved on its own in order to get a better look, but he completely forgot he was under a bed and hit his head making an awfully loud noise!"Ow!" Shikamaru cried in pain, but quickly shut his mouth. It was too late now, Temari was aware of his presence.
"What the …!" Temari exclaimed.
"What should I do?! What should I do?!" Shikamaru frantically asked himself. He could use the teleportation jutsu, but she probably would guess it was him even if he did. He could hit her when she looked down to knock her out, but he couldn't hit a woman! There was only one thing to do. He needed to go out from under this bed and explain to her, he needed to face the situation like a man. His pride, honour and dignity were at stake here. So with a swift move he got up from under the bed. For a moment Temari stood there in shock, but quickly realizing that she was just in her underwear with the bra almost falling off she desperately covered herself with her hands.
"What the hell were you doing under my bed?!" Temari demanded.
"I can explain!" Shikamaru defended.
"Yeah, well you can explain to my fist, you disgusting pervert!" Temari retorted as she gave Shikamaru a hard right uppercut. It was so hard in fact that Shikamaru was sent flying into the air creating a new sky light in the guest room. (A/N: I know Temari doesn't have Tsunade-like strength, but it's for comical reasons. XP)
-End of Flashback-
"I get it, so she caught you peeping," Naruto confirmed.
"I wasn't peeping, it was a simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time," Shikamaru corrected.
"Sure, sure," Naruto teased. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"How troublesome, I can't believe she thought I was taking a peek," Shikamaru sighed.
"Well you were under her bed and watching her strip."
"I didn't mean to!"
"Then why didn't you close your eyes? Admit it Shikamaru, you wanted to see." At this Shikamaru became both stunned and speechless. Finally after a minute Shikamaru turned his head with a blush on his cheeks and said, "I would argue with you … but it's too troublesome."
An hour later Shikamaru was walking through the streets of Konoha, but he wasn't just in his boxers anymore. Instead he wore an orange and black jacket and black pants, just like Naruto who walked beside him. They got a lot of stares at wearing matching outfits and even some snickers here and there, but Shikamaru didn't care. All he wanted to do was get home so he could settle this misunderstanding with Temari and so she wouldn't thinking he was a 'disgusting pervert' for the rest of her life. What Naruto had said before was partially true, one part of him did want to see it, but there was another part fighting it. He wanted her, but not in this way. He wasn't one to force his way, but take it slow. Shikamaru wanted to let Temari know that he wasn't some creep who just wanted to have sex with her. He wanted her smile, her laughter, her kindness and dare he say it, her spunk too. He wanted her for her not just her body and as cliché as it sounded, he thought, no! He knew Temari was the one. And speak of the devil because the Suna konoichi he was just thinking about rounded the corner. At the sight of him Temari got an evil look in her eye and well if looks could kill they would be planning Shikamaru's funeral instead of a peace festival. "I'm going to kill you, teme!" she screamed and ran full sprint at the pineapple head.
"Uh, Shikamaru if I were you, I would run right about now," Naruto advised. For once Shikamaru totally agreed with Naruto and ran from the murderous looking Temari.
"When I get my hands on you, you'll regret trying to 'take a peek'!" she threatened.
"This is such a drag!" Shikamaru complained.
The three arrived at the meeting very late and everyone was about to complain, but quickly decided not to when they saw the state they were in. Naruto looked mortally terrified, Temari was still steaming and Shikamaru had a black eye along with other various cuts and bruises. Shikamaru was surprised to see that all of their friends were there, the now grown up rookie nine, Sai and even Gai's team, Neji, Tenten and Lee. The first meeting was all about assigning jobs to everyone. Chouji got the head of the food department spot (of course). Ino became the decoration designer. Naruto was made head of construction. Sakura was assigned sending out invitations and planning and booking events. Sai became the painter for the decorations. Shino would be working under Chouji so no insects would infect the food. Lee was to help the construction crew warm up every morning (they had to give him something didn't they?). Kiba, Hinata, Neji and Tenten were in charge of cleaning up afterwards (with much complaining from both Kiba and Neji). And finally Temari and Shikamaru would approve designs, events and other stuff like that. "So that's all for today, Ino I'd like to see some designs by tomorrow and remember before you make any decisions tell us first okay," Temari finished as everyone nodded in agreement, "My idiot co-organizer, Shikamaru and I would like to thank you all for coming today." The two organizers then left room while the others stayed behind.
"Hm, I wonder why Temari was so upset when she came in?" Sakura wondered.
"Yeah, and why was Shikamaru all beat up?" Chouji pondered.
"Oh, I'll tell you why," Naruto said smirking as everyone's attention turned to him, "It's because Shikamaru's a … closet pervert!"
A/N: I hope you liked it! Also I'd like to say sorry for painting Shikamaru in such a bad light, but hopefully I helped him atone with that little monologue as he walked through the streets of Konoha. At first it was going to be so much more dramatic than this, but I told myself that it was humor fanfic, not drama so I changed some of the more drama queen moments into funnier ones. Don't forget to review! Until next time, dattebayo!
