Hey Lazy Ass!
Suna is so boring. I wish I could move back to Konoha. There is absolutely nothing to do here. How is Choji and Tenten? What have you been up to? Write back right away.
~Bored 2 Death

Temari looked over the note to make sure she didn't leave anything out. She was glad her and Shikamaru continued to write. She hadn't been up to anything. Everyone at school already has their groups and they didn't want to welcome her back. There was nothing to do in Suna and she was bored (as the note said). The only time something happened was when she would hang out with her brothers. She desperately needed a vacation to Konoha.

She was still reading over her note when it was snatched from her hands. She turned around to see Kankuro reading her letter. When he finished he looked up to see a pissed of Temari. He raised an eyebrow. "Who you writing sis? Whose this lazy ass?"

She grabbed the note back from him trying not to tear it. "That's none of your business. Just a friend from Konoha." She folded it up and tied it to the pigeon letting it fly away.

"Is it that Shikamaru guy? Why are you writing him?" Temari just turned her back to him and stared at nothing. "Fine don't answer me. I'll just tell Mom and Dad about you're secret not writing." He turned to walk away when Temari grabbed the back of his shirt.

"Fine I'll tell you." He turned to face her with a smirk on his face. She groaned and told him. "Yes it is Shikamaru and I'm only writing him because I promised him I would. Is that good enough for you?"

"For now. I have a deal for you." She raised an eyebrow at him. "I can get us a vacation to Konoha if you do my chores for a month."

"How long will the vacation be?" She was skeptical about this deal.

"About a week. I'll try to get it longer, but it'll be hard to."

"Fine. Now get out of my room. If you don't get a vacation for at least a week I won't do any of your chores." He shrugged and left the room shutting it behind him. She went to her bed and collapsed with a groan. He's such an ass. He can't do anything nice without there being a catch. I wonder if I should surprise Shikamaru or tell him I'm coming. She laid there and pondered what she should do.


Shikamaru walked down the streets of Konoha with his hands shoved deep into his pockets. He had his hair up and some simple pants and a shirt. He was walking around looking for something to do. He had spent all day yesterday hanging out with Ino and he really needed some alone time. Damn that annoying troublesome woman. She made me waste a whole day spending it with her. What a drag.

He hadn't been paying attention to where he was going and he ended up at the training grounds he usually went to, to look at clouds. As usual no one was there so he was able to think and be by himself. He collapsed to the ground with a grunt. He laid with his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky. It was a cloudless day so he just stared at the blue, blue sky.

What a drag, no clouds. Guess this was a waste. He closed his eyes to take a nap. His chest slowly rose and fell as he slowed his breathing. He was almost deep in snooze when someone came walking up to him. He didn't bother to look so he just continued to sleep. He didn't wake up until he felt someone's finger poke his forehead multiple times. He couldn't clearly see who it was because his eyes were sleepy, but he say blonde hair and he groaned. "Go away Ino. I spent all day yesterday with you and today I want to be away from you." He turned to his side and closed his eyes again.

"You did what with Ino?" A loud angry voice made him open his eyes and turn to his back. He looked up to see a pissed Temari glaring at him.

"What are you doing here?" He sat up and turned to look at her. She had her arms crossed and continued to glare at him. She was wearing a baby blue spaghetti strap dress that went to her knees with a black belt around her waist.

"Why did you hang out with Ino?" He groaned and fell on his back.

"That's the first thing you ask me. No 'How are you Shikamaru' or 'What have you been up to?' You're so troublesome." She walked over to him and sat on his chest pointing a finger in his face.

"Why did you hang out with Ino?"

"I don't know. I was bored and she dragged me around everywhere. It was such a drag." He smiled up at her and looked at her with his brown eyes. "I would've rather been dragged around by you." She got of his chest and sat right next to him. Then she leaned down and put her face right in front of him.

"Why don't I drag you around, starting with some dinner?" He smiled back at her. He grabbed around her neck and pulled her in for a kiss. When she pulled away they continued to hold each other for another minute. "Let's get to dinner." She stood up and pulled him up by the collar. He sighed reluctantly and followed behind her.

When they reached the restaurant they were greeted by her brothers. Shikamaru whispered to Temari, "What are your brothers doing here?" She waved to her brothers and followed them to the table.

"We're going to have dinner with them." Shikamaru sighed.

"This is-"

"Such a drag. I know. They forced me into and said you can come. It is a drag." She smiled at him using his word. When they got to the table they sat on one side and her brothers on the other. They sat in an awkward silence for a long time. The waitress came and they ordered without talking to each other. "So? What do you want to talk about Kankuro?" Temari finally broke the silence.

"What are y'all going to do today?" Kankuro looked at his hands avoiding looking at Shikamaru or Temari.

"I don't know just hang out." She turned her attention to Shikamaru. "What do you want to do?" Shikamaru just shrugged.

"I don't care. Whatever you feel like doing." Shikamaru put his head on the table and closed his eyes. Temari glared at him.

"Lazy ass!" She turned her attention to Kankuro. "So what are you and Gaara going to do today?" Kankuro was about to reply, but Gaara cut him off.

"We're going to go see a movie." Temari turned to Gaara wide-eyed. He actually talked? That's a change.

Dinner continued like this. Everyone made small talk and ate their food. When they finished Shikamaru and Temari told Kankuro and Gaara bye as they walked to the movies. Temari turned to Shikamaru who had started holding her hand once her brothers were gone. "What do you want to do today?" He shrugged and started pulling her.

"Let's just take a walk." Temari smiled and they started walking down the street until they ran into some trouble. A blonde kunoichi came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Shikamaru! Do you want to hang out again today?" Temari glared at Ino who continued to flirt with Shikamaru not knowing of the pissed off sand ninja next to her. "Shikamaru you're looking so cute today. Do you want to get something to eat?" Shikamaru loosened Ino's grip around his neck and turned to face her.

"Leave me alone you troublesome woman." Ino continued to smile girly as she grabbed Shikamaru's hand and started to drag him away. She still didn't notice Temari, who was balling her hands into fists.

"Let's go watch a movie. I'll pay for it!" She tried to pull him, but he slipped from her grip and turned away from Ino to face Temari who had steam coming out of her ears.

"Temari calm down." He walked to her and took her hand in his and intertwined his fingers with her. "Let's go to our spot okay. Don't get angry with Ino, she's just annoying and troublesome." Ino turned Shikamaru around by his shoulder and stared at him.

"But Shika-kun. You told me yesterday I wasn't as troublesome as you said I was and that you really like me." She smiled and ran a finger down his chest. "You even gave me a kiss." Temari couldn't contain herself and pulled her fist out of Shikamaru's hand and punched the annoying blonde in the cheek.

"Temari stop. She's just-" Temari turned to him and punched him in the gut.

"Why the hell did you kiss that little slut? Why did you even spend the day with the whore?" Shikamaru clutched his stomach, while Ino rubbed her cheek.

"I didn't kiss her or tell her anything like that. She's just annoying and troublesome." Shikamaru tried to hurriedly say before she punched him again. Temari looked at Ino and stood over her.

"You little bitch. You better leave before I kick your ass." Temari brought up her hand to punch Ino again, but Shikamaru held her back. Ino stood up and ran off not wanting to get punched again. "That little whore. If I ever see her again I'll kill her." She muttered to herself. Shikamaru wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her to keep her calm.

"Calm down Temari. Let's just go to our spot and watch clouds." Temari sighed and nodded her head. Shikamaru stopped hugging her and grabbed her hand guiding her towards the big oak. "You know she was just doing that to piss you off. It is really easy to piss you off." She squeezed his hand in anger.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Shikamaru laughed making her squeeze his hand tighter and dig her nails into him.

"That is exactly what I mean. you get angered easily. It wasn't an insult. Can you stop hurting my hand troublesome woman?" Temari loosened her grip and they walked in silence for a little while.

"Why did you hang out with Ino?" Temari looked at her feet.

"I already told you, I was bored and she dragged me everywhere." He smiled at her, but she didn't notice. He sighed and rubbed his head when they reached the tree.

"Whatever." They sat down and he put an arm around her. "Are you sure you didn't kiss her? You could've been the one lying." She furrowed her brows and stared at him. He groaned and put his head against the tree.

"Why would you even ask that? You know I hate her." He looked at her and pulled her head close to his. "You know I lo-" His eyes widened and he let go of her and put his head back on the tree. How can I almost say that. She's such a troublesome woman. Temari stared at him. Her expression turned from anger to shock and back to anger.

"What were you going to say?" Her voice was full of anger. She couldn't believe he didn't finish what he was going to say.

"Nothing. I'm going to take a nap." He closed his eyes not wanting to continue this conversation. Temari punched him in the arm. He opened his eyes and stared at her. "What was that for?"

"What were you going to say? Why didn't you finish?" Shikamaru sighed and decided to tell her.

"I was going to say," he pulled her in closely and looked deep into her eyes, "that I love you." Temari smiled at him and wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you too lazy ass." She pulled him in closely and kissed him. He put his hand in the small of her back and closed the gap between there bodies. He pulled back and put his forehead on hers and stared into her eyes.

They didn't talk because words would have ruined this moment. She pulled him closely to her and put her head on his shoulder. He rubbed her thigh and played with her foot with his. They held each other for a long time remembering this moment forever. They were in love and they didn't want to change that.

Shikamaru laid down and Temari moved her head from his shoulder to his chest. She listened to the steady beat of his heart as she closed her eyes. She felt as his chest rose and fell with each breath. He put a hand on her head and looked at her as she cuddled into his chest. He laid his head back and closed his eyes. He was happy.

"Shika?" He opened his eyes to see teal orbs looking up at him.

"What do you want troublesome woman? I was enjoying this." She smiled up at him and he smiled back.

"It's getting late. Can you walk me to Tenten's? She asked me to spend the night since I haven't seen her in a while. So can you walk me?" He nodded and she stood up and looked at him. He sighed and slowly stood up. He put an arm around her and they started walking. "I can't wait to see Tenten. It's been forever." She looked up at Shikamaru. "How's Choji. I miss him." He smiled at her.

"He's great. I'm going to hang out with him later and I'll tell him you miss him. He thinks you're awesome, but I know your not." He smirked at her as she glared at him.

"That's not funny. Tell him hi for me, ok?" He nodded and they continued to walk. She wrapped her arms around his waist while he had one around her shoulders. "Well here we are. I'll talk to you later okay." She pecked his cheek and knocked on the door. Tenten opened it and hugged her tightly.

"Temari! I missed you! How are you? Come in! Sorry to kidnap your girlfriend Shikamaru. We have too much to catch up on!" She waved at Shikamaru.

"It's okay. Have fun." He turned and waved back to them. Tenten pulled Temari in and shut the door.


A/N: Yay more Ino Temari drama! I love writing about them hating each other. I don't really like Ino. She's too much of a bitch (sorry if I have offended any Ino fans). Hope you like the chap. R&R
