"Shikamaru! Answer me!" she demanded, as Shikamaru tried to wake himself up.
"How did you know? Who told you?"
"Oh, so know I you were there. And if you want to know Choji told me when I asked him about his weight loss." she told him loudly not caring about his sleeping parents.
"Okay. I guess I have to tell you, but I have to tell you the truth...But don't worry , I don't have any feelings for Ino. Well, none more than a friend."
"Hn." she grunted looking at the oppisite wall, indicating that he could continue.
"And well, I wanted to go see her when Choji told me what he had heard. So I just did," the truth finally came and they both felt better now that they confessed to each other.
"I think I should go apologize to Ino," she said standing up.
"Um," he began, "I don't think that would be such a good idea...Sakura said he has a bit of trama and probably needs counseling, so I wouldn't go near her just yet."
"Hn. Well, I guess I will stay clear of her for now..." she stated still unhappy.
"How about we go for a walk, just the two of us." he sugested getting out if bed slowly.
"I guess that would be kinda nice," she replied heading toward the door so he could get dressed. "Well, see ya in a couple of minutes. I'll be in the living room waiting," he got up and dressed, then walked into the living room were Temari was sitting on the tan love seat.
"Well, let's go." he said as she stood up and walked toward the door to leave. They walked and he explained everything that had happened, Temari took it kinda okay. Some parts you could see her tightening her ands into fists until her knuckles turned white, but in some parts it didn't even look like she was listening to him; just off in a daze, but when he stopped talking to make sure she was listening she looked at him and asked "Why'd you stop?" so he'd start again were he left off. Once at the end of the speech he let out a sigh of relief as he finished the last sentence. "Okay, that's it. I'm finally done."
"Well, that was sure interesting." she started then turned her head away from him and stared of into the green vally, "And if she liked you so much I don't see why she thought kidnapping you would make it any better." she stated confused.
"Yeah, I still don't see why." he said and leaned back onto the wooden back of the bench they were sitting on.
"Hm." she let out that little noise as she was still in thought, well, she wasn't even really thinking, just off in a daze. Then she stood up and took slow steps away from him.
"We're you going?" he asked her as he got up and followed her away from the spot they were sitting at a few moments ago.
"Home." she stated still walking away not even looking at him or any thing. Her eyes were glassy, almost as she were in a trance.
"Okay I guess I'll she you tommorrow then." he said and turned away from her and walked to his house to stay for the rest of the day.
"Release!" she said from the bushes as quietly as she could, but as loud as she could manage for it to work properly, "Shikamaru didn't figure out that one did he!" she cryed happily as she stood up and walked home, happy with herself and what she had done that time.
