A/N: hello. Again. The bell rang five minutes ago and I'm still in the library. but, I just wanted to say Thanks to all my reviewers and thier great reviews. I would write names but I'm sorta tied right now. They know who they are!

She doesn't remember how she got there. But, she was in fact in a different environment then the one she had last remember herself being in. Temari knew that she would have panicked but she knew the room all to well. It was her room after all. Her teal eye's opened slightly -as far as she could manage to open them- and gazed at the light purple walls. Her mind was confused -numb- as she laid there trying to figure out what was going on. A couple of minutes passed by but she just laid there her mind wondering in the wrong directions.

It was then that she felt an annoying throbbing on her arms. Gasping she sat up quickly bringing her arms towards her at the same time. It was covered in bandages. Then everything hit her, what had happened, what led to this, everything- except for how she had managed to get to her room. But, it didn't matter to her. Sighing she brought her left hand -the hand that felt less painful- towards her face and in a swift movement brushed her bangs out of her face. That's when she saw another person in the room. Shikamaru, who had brought a chair up towards the foot of her bed and now was asleep. He looked like an angel. To her he was one and it was hard to remember why she was mad at him.

Subconsciously- as she watched him she leaned forward to brush a strand of hair away from his face but the sudden movement of the bed startled him enough to wake him up. When he open his eyes Temari jerked back quickly placing her hand on her lap and looking down.

"Wha- Oh, your awake... finally." He said as he shifted his body from the awkward sleeping position to a more comfortable looking sitting one.

Temari refused to answer much less look at him.

"Look, Temari, I should be the one mad here - so will you stop it? Your acting far too troublesome.. It's annoying" He said in a soft tone of voice. "If the glass would have never fallen. I wouldn't have been here, and, and, you would be dead right now."

A deep shade of crimson covered her face and she now remembered how he had saved her.

She was siting on the floor watching the blood pour out. She couldn't feel the pain anymore and it annoyed her. But, it didn't annoy her as much as the fact that she was stunned to see the blood. She was a shinobi after all, she had seen blood, her's and her opponents and her friends, so why was she just sitting there stunned? It was beyond her. She knew she should have gotten up and washed her wound, take out the glass, examine it, and cover it-if not stitch it. She knew there was a procedure that she had to fallow and everything would be okay.

Her floor had been covered in a crimson liquid and by that point she knew she had lost far too much blood. In the back of her mind she would hear doors slamming and her name being called, but she didn't answer. She didn't want to answer, and even if she did, she believed she couldn't answer. Everything now felt like she was watching threw a tinted mirror, it was slowly fading to black. That's when he came in, saw her, and freaked out.

When she saw the look on his face -the worry, the fright- she knew that he cared no matter how it had seemed. But, still knowing this- it felt like it didn't matter. She felt his strong hand grab ahold of her and stand her up, but her balance was lost and she ended up almost falling if it wasn't for him who picked her up bridal style and carried her up to her room.

She blacked out them, just as soon as they got to her room. Shikamaru placed her on the bed and grabbed one of the sheets and started cleaning up the wounds. Now seeing the extend of the damage he called out to her, and she once again woke up a confused look on her face.

"What the fuck is your problem how could you do this to yourself?" He asked as he opened the first aid kit hurrying threw it to get what he needed to pull the glass out of her skin.

He quickly pulled a piece of glass out of her arm -the biggest one- and she gasped in pain. Soon she blacked out again and by the time she woke up he was frozen in place -not knowing weather to stay here with her or go get Sakura-. "Shikamaru, I love you." She remembers herself say threw teary eye's she saw the way he turned shark white and froze on the spot and she knew know that he was probably thinking those where going to be her last words. There her vision faded again and by the time she came threw he was bandaging her wounds.

"Everything is better," He told her, "You lost a lot of blood you silly thing but your better, Just wait until Sakura heals it and you recover a good amount of your blood."

She knew that a couple of minutes had passed by as she snapped back to life. "Okay." Was all she could say because she had forgotten what they where talking about.

"'Okay'? No, women it is far from being 'okay'" He said as he looked at her with a troubled gaze.

"..I know." She said, feeling like crying. After all he still cared and worst he wasn't mad -or acting like he was-.

"Do you?"

"Yes..." She looked up at him then. Her eye's watery with tears that refused to fall from her eye's. "I'm sorry."

"Your forgiven," He said getting up from the chair and walking towards her. "Just, forget about everything okay?" He asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.

Temari wrapped her arms around his neck quickly and brought him to her. She touched his forehand with hers and looked into his eye's. "Your such a crybaby, for freaking out like that, pussy."

He grabbed her arm and began to push her away, "This isn't funny so qui-" He began but was silence by a smooth slow kiss. One that was barely received from Temari -All her kisses where hungry, harsh, teasing- but not this one.

"What happened with 'forgetting about everything'?" She questioned as she once again kissed him softly.

Muttering against her lips all she understood was 'troublesome women' before he pulled her towards him a bit too harshly.

She giggled then but froze her eye's opening up in realization.

Shikamaru looked up at her frighten that he had hurt her, "I'm so sorry I should hav-" He was silence when he saw the glare he was receiving from her "What?" He questioned confused.

She pulled the blankets away from herself and looked down at her clothing. "Shouldn't. I. Be. Covered. In. Blood?" She questioned threw gritted teeth and glared up at him.

Shikamaru stood up and bit his lip. The thought of running away seems great to him right now. "Uh, well, you see...." She said not knowing what to say, he scratched his head before sighing, "Troublesome."

"Answer my question!!"

"Well, you know, your question was really nothing like an act-" He paused realizing -by her glare- that acting like a smart ass was only going to make everything worst for him. "yes, love, yes you should be covered in blood." He said.

"And why- No, who-" She paused growling because she didn't know how to ask him. So, she only looked up at him and waited for him to answer because he knew what she was going to ask.

"I changed you. You was covered in blood so I changed you, and washed you. But, I swear I didn't look at you like that." He said waving his hands in the air, his face red.

"You had better not, Nara because I swear that I will murder you." She said her voice sure and cold.

He was tempted to ask her how she will ever find out if he thought about her in that way while washing her and changing her but he really did enjoy having his limbs in place. Besides he was mature enough not to think of her that way while being in such of a stressful situation as he was yesterday. If he ever thought about her that way it was certainly not then.

"Temari you know I couldn't." He said while slowly walking towards her, "I cleaned you up and your bed, the floor downstairs -although that took alot of time-." He smiled as he sat next to her, her face was still red probably thinking about him changing her. "But, when TenTen came she helped. We washed the bloody stuff -she's a miracle worker for getting all the stains out- She sticked around for a while before she left."

"How long was I out?"

"All of last night, and most of today- it should be around five in the afternoon. I wanted to let you rest. Sakura will probably be coming soon to heal you."

"Sounds like you did alot of work." Temari teased.

"Yes, as troublesome as it seems." Shikamaru said while sighing "I'm dead ass tier too."

Temari laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek softly before biting his ear lobe. She heard him breathe in sharply and she only managed to giggle before she pulled on his earring.

"Stop." He said while putting both of his hands on her stumach. He gasped again.

"Why should i?"

"Because I said so, and beca-" The door bell interrupted and shikamaru grinned, "Because I just got saved by the bell." He got up to get it leaving Temari in her room.

Temari fixed herself as she waited for Shikamaru to come up the stairs with whoever it was. She combed her hair down. She saw Shikamaru enter her room fallowed by Sakura and Ino. She wanted to tell Ino to get out but decided to play nice -for Sikamaru's sake. "Hello Sakura- Hello Ino." Temari greeted with a fake smile.

Sakura walked over to Temari and grabbed her arms placing them both infront of her. "I have to hurry, Lady Tsunade will be mad at me if she doesn't receive a report soon." Sakura said smiling as she began to heal Temari.

"I'm sorry, Sakura." temari said in a sad tone.

"Don't be, your a friend right? and besides its not that bad and fast too." Sakura concentrated a bit. "See? Almost done," Sakura said concentrating.

Temari looked over at Shikamaru who was talking to Ino by the wall. "Also she told me to give you a message."

"Uh-huh." Temari said not listening to what Sakura was saying.

Ino was giggling and playing with her hair while talking to Shikamaru. He smiled softly while looking down at him and said something that made Ino giggle.

"You really think so?" Ino asked a bit louder.

"Yea." Shikamaru answered, smiling.

"Oh, God, I love you so much Shikamaru!" Ino said while throwing herself on him and hugging him tightly. He wrapped his arms broadly around the small of her back before pushing her away softly and turning his gaze on Temari who was frowning. She sighed.

"All done, Temari." Sakura said while looking up at Ino and Shikamaru. "Don't they make such a cute couple?" Sakura asked while giggling, oblivious to the fact that Shikamaru and Temari where a couple.

Temari felt her heart sting for a second before she faked a smile. "I... guess." She said while glaring up at Shikamaru.

Ino grabbed shikamaru around his waist and buried her face in his chest, "Shut up Sakura your imbarasing me!" She yelled. Shikamaru softly pushed her away before walking to Temari.

"your better?" He asked ignoring the giggles from Sakura and Ino who figured that he was ignoring them because he was imbarased too.

"yea." Temari whispered while bitting her lip.

"Oh! That reminds me." Sakura said while walking towards temari. "Tsunade told me to tell you that your future husband is coming to konoha, He'll be here tomorrow- It was a surprise but you should be ready for his arrival and your brothers."

Temari was frozen but sakura nor Ino realized it as they decided to jump out her window and race towards the tower. Shikamaru hugged Temari and sighed. "It will all be better love tomorrow you just wait and see." he assured her.

"Right." Temari said not so sure as she took the bloodied bandages off and threw then in the trash across the room.

"You should go back to sleep it sounds like tomorrow you will have a long day."

she nodded and laid back on the bed. Shikamaru stood up but she grabbed his arm. "Stay.." She commanded and he nodded, before slipping under the covers with her and wrapping his arms around her in a protective way.

"Good night love."

Good night Nara."
