The Visitor

Shikamaru woke up, feeling something heavy press on him. He looked down and saw Temari's head right on his chest. He thought back to what happened since he was appointed to escorting her…

'Troublesome woman…' he muttered. He tried to push her off but she grabbed his chest and half asleep she looked up. 'Going already?' she smiled and crawled up to his face to give him a small peck on the lips. 'If you don't mind I need to go to the bathroom' he coldly replied.

'Just this once then, and don't try sneaking away, I made an agreement with your mother, she'll put breakfast for two every morning for the up coming week; we can have a good simple time together' she smiled almost satanic while he pulled him body into the hall, disappearing at the bathroom.

Temari sat up in his bed and looked around, she saw a simple desk with a pile of scrolls on top of it, a hook on the wall with his Chuunin vest on it and a book case filled with books about strategic and Shogi. There was a simple yet beautiful shogi set on his desk and there was a small cupboard at the end of his bed, she looked in it and found a few sets of kunai and shuriken in the upper drawer, clothing in the rest, on top of the cupboard where 3 pictures, one of his parents, one of his team and one of the complete rookie nine and Neji's team.

Suddenly she heard a shower and walked up to the hallway, she gently knocked and could barely hear it herself, for a few seconds she waited and then, with an evil grin, she entered.

'I knocked but I didn't get a respond, are you in here Shika-ku…' she was frozen to the spot, in front of her was Shikamaru's father, fully nude and wet. They stood there for a second before he held a towel in front of his family jewels as she leaved with a completely red face.

Outside she leaned to the wall and swallowed hard while she tried to get the image out of her head. 'Temari, I got some tea' Shikamaru said while he walked up to her with two cups and a tea pot. 'Temari?' he looked strangely at her, she had a bright red face and a shocked expression. 'What happened?' he suddenly heard the shower and his eyes widened. 'Don't tell me that you…' she nodded and he gained a smile on his face. 'Don't you dare laugh at me!' she grew an even darker red while she walked past him. 'Don't worry, I won't laugh AT you, I'll laugh WITH my dad' he smirked as he dodged a blow to the head. 'don't forget that its your job to get me up and running again, so its not good to get me back in the hospital' he smiled now as he jumped a step back, dodging a kick that would crush his bones. she gave up and returned to his room with a red head

They ate their breakfast in his room while she leaned to him on his bed, they spent the afternoon in the garden, she tried to understand what was so great about watching the clouds.

'So…we just watch them?' she asked

'Yup, that's the idea with cloud watching' he simply replied

'Nothing else?'

'Nope.'

'Are you sure you like this'

'As long as I can silently enjoy it, yes' he gave her a look and she smiled

"Cloud watching isn't fun, it's a fact, messing with Shika-kun, now that's fun!" she smiled evilly.

'So you hate it when I talk during your valuable looking time?'

'Yes.'

'And you find it very annoying, assuming that I continue?'

'Yes.'

'Alright then, I guess I should stop talking since it is annoying my love, yet I feel to talk with you and its so boring to watch those clouds' she rolled over to him and licked his face.

'Of course I could always annoy you silently' she laughed silently in his ear while he rubbed his face.

'Or you could keep on talking' he said defeated.

'But I thought that bothered you Shika-kun?' she kissed him in the neck gave him an innocent look before she moved her hand over his eyes.

'Can't we just play a little' she said with a sad voice as Shikamaru turned over to her.

'Why are woman so troublesome' he signed as he looked into her eyes.

'Because you hate it' she smiled back as she gave his nose a small kiss.

'Hmm…forget it, you win, this is too troublesome…'Shikamaru sighed as he lay in her arms and joined her in her passion.

That night his parents went out for dinner and they where left alone for the rest of the evening.

'Your turn Shikamaru…what is that seal that you're making anyway?' Temari said annoyed, she had almost won the second shogi set from two out of three.

'Shut up I'm concentrating' Shikamaru replied when suddenly the doorbell rang.

'Aren't you going to get it?'

'Meh, too troublesome' he replied

'I really need to punch that out of you, lazy ass' she gave him a look while standing up.

'How can I win this game…?' Shikamaru said.

'WHERE IS HE!?!?!?' a voice screamed from outside and Shikamaru looked up.

It was already too late, eight arms grabbed him and pushed him to the wall, a wooden body opened in front of him and the arms pushed him inside, poisoned needles pressed just under his skin from all directions while he heard a dark voice.

'HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY SISTER, LET ALONE THAT YOU PUT HER UNDER SOME SORT OF PERMANENT JUTSU!?!?!?'a dark voice angrily whispered to him out of nowhere. 'KANKURO!!!!! GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!!' Temari shouted and Kankuro, being tormented by his sister for years, did it in fear of what she could do.

'Just be quick about it and give him the antidote, I know you use poison' she suddenly turned and had tears in her eyes, the first and only time he used those needles and that jutsu he killed a roughly 60 Shinobi from the country of the wave because they burned down his most beloved DOLL. 'Alright alright…' He replied while the chest of his puppet opened and a shadowy figure fell out.

'Shika-kun?' Temari crawled up to the figure that was lying still on the ground. 'Meh, he was way to slow, sorry if I had you waiting but I needed to estimate the situation' Shikamaru said while he walked in from a shadowy corner. The figure in Temari's arms that was bleeding heavily was replaced by a small chair.

'Now what did I do to you? More importantly, why are you in my house attacking me' he asked while he sat down near the shogi board and started staring at it again. A wooden arm with a knife out of its hand palm slowly crawled to him as he kept staring at the board. 'Why does my sister live with you and what did you do to her?' he angrily said as he moved his fingers just a bit while the wooden arm moved up a bit and launched itself from it's position on the wall, suddenly it was stuck, just an inch before Shikamaru's neck. The hand fell down and the sharp blade made a large cut in the sofa, a simple kitchen knife was halfway into the wall and a small wire was hanging from it on one side, steadily pulled from the other side.

'How did you see that coming?' Kankuro asked as he sat down, suddenly the chair he sat on vanished and he began to realise that something was holding his chin.

Temari had tears streaming down from her face, the man she loved just died in her arms, then he suddenly changed into a chair, walked into the light and began to discuss something with his murderer, she know what was going on, actually she warned him for this to happen, still she wasn't prepared for this. 'He didn't do anything to me, if you look carefully, I did something to him you puppet freak!' she pointed out while she swung her arm down again, she made a direct blow to Kankuro's head and for a moment, he was floating in the air, just low enough to not hit the ceiling. He landed and just noticed the many bandages on Shikamaru's body, his left blue eye and, most of all, his look;

His look was that of a man who had lost all hope, yet it was filled with a sad smile of satisfaction. Then everything went black.

'Now why did you do that?' Shikamaru said bored while he returned to his beloved shogi board.

'HE JUST TRIED TO KILL YOU!' she turned over to Shikamaru. 'I meant this move, how can I beat you with this, there's just no way!' he complained while he turned the board around and looked a bit concerned. She crawled up to him and held him tightly; completely stunned he fell backward and then followed her. 'Don't ever scare me like that again, Shika-kun' her face was covered in tears. 'I promise' he whispered back.

She held him down on the couch for the rest of the night, not speaking and ignoring all his questions about her brother, she held him there until they fell asleep.

Kankuro woke up with a huge pain at the bottom of his face; his lower jaw felt like it was broken and he had a huge headache. 'I see you're finally awake then' a friendly voice cheered to him as he opened his eyes, before him was a young woman with nearly anything on, she just had a small t-shirt and some shorts on while she smiled to him. 'Want some ice for that face of yours?' she laughed while she turned around and left the room, he looked around and saw a simple room, nothing special except a small stone cup with some smoke rising from the centre of it; it spread a soothing aroma trough the room and he felt that he was undressed and in a strange bed.

Sorry that it took me long to update, I graduated and I finally got the summer off before i begin at my next school, not that you care anyways

I hope you enjoyed the new chapter, I know I did, although I'm curious to what will happen to Kankuro now :3
