I woke up to the sound off an alarm clock buzzing in my ear at seven in the morning. I didn't remember setting an alarm. I thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that Shikamaru set the alarm. I was pissed and felt like beating him to a pulp. I hated waking up in the morning, especially when there was no coffee. I sat up on my bed and stretched my arms before rubbing my eyes clean from any mook. I took the biggest yawn in my entire life. I was wearing a white and pink collared shirt that cut off just above my bellybutton and tight pajamas that really showed off my ass. Today was going to be a long day.

I hopped out of bed to go to my dresser when I spotted a note. As I examined the note closer, I could see that it was Shikamaru's neat, clean handwriting. You would've never guessed that Shikamaru had the best handwriting in the village for someone so lazy. I picked up the note and read it. It said:

You, Naruto, Ino, and I are going to hang out today. I'll meet you in the morning.

Love,

Shikamaru

P.S. Sorry about the alarm.

The note made me smile. I thought it was too much work for him to leave a note. Huh! Maybe I'm changing him for the better. I thought. Before I could throw the note away, I was startled by loud banging noises on my window. I turned around to see it was Shikamaru. What the fuck? Leave me alone. I don't look sexy at all. Well, I guess he's not going anywhere. I walked over to open the window. As soon as I did, Shikamaru jumped through and stood right in front of me. I tried to avoid eye contact because I didn't look good in the morning. He scanned me in silence, probably thinking about how bad I look.

"Wow. You're not a morning person are you?" he asked. I looked at him with fury in my eyes. How dare he say that. I know I look bad and all but you're not supposed to say that to your girlfr…to your friends. I pushed him onto my bed and set my hands on my hips.

"What is that supposed to mean!?" I scolded, pissed off that he had the gull to say such a hurtful thing. I stared him down waiting for an answer but instead he just stood up and looked me in the eye. He was standing a few inches in front of me, glaring into my eyes. I blushed and glanced towards the side. But he put his hand on my chin and forced me to look at him. The gesture took my breath away and my heart felt like it stopped. I was staring into his deep brown eyes.

"I know I look bad but you don't have to be so blunt about it." I said really quietly.

"It means get ready, we gotta go soon." He said as he slowly pulled me in closer to him. Everything was quiet and calm. All I could think about was my lips touching his. I closed my eyes while floating closer to his face. Right before our lips connected he stopped. We were frozen in time, waiting for something to happen.

"And you look beautiful Temari." He said.

Oh! Love this boy. He treats just right. When I'm with him, nothing else in the world matters…Oh my god, I sound like a bad chick flick! …But the feelings are true, no matter how corny they may be.

I could feel his warm breath brush against my lips. It made my heart race faster. I put my hand on his cheek as he put his hands around my hips.

"Shika…" I whispered right before our lips finally connected after what seemed to be years. The kiss was nice and slow. I had my hand around his head so I could make the kiss get harder. My tongue entered his mouth and enter twined with his. I began moving my tongue through his mouth as if I was searching through it. I moaned deeply when he squeezed my ass through my pajamas and I broke the kiss.

"Shikamaru, not now. Jeeze what's with you, pervert." I said while giggling in a girly fashion.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." He said while smirking like he always does. I turned around and headed for the bathroom, making sure he got a good look at my ass.

Hour passed and Shikamaru and I were walking side by side to the front gate, the one were all that led directly out of the village. We weren't talking much. Shikamaru usually just stared up in the sky while occasionally looking at me from time to time, thinking that I didn't notice. I guess I had to be the one to break the ice. Time to mess with his head. He He!

"So, what are we?" I said, trying to play some mind games as all women do. He looked at me puzzled and grunted.

Ninja, I guess. What do you mean?" he asked. Oh no you don't. You're not getting out of the one.

"Don't avoid the question pineapple-head. You know what I mean!" I yelled.

"…" he went quiet, as if he really had to think about it. I see how it is Shikamaru. Fine, I'll play ball.

"I see." I said as I tuned my attention away from him and to the ground. This got his attention and now he was staring at the back of my head.

"Temari…" he said with a concerned tone, extremely different from his usual monotone.

"What?" I said, sounding stern to enforce the point that I was upset.

"You know I care about you." He said, sounding a little nervous and frustrated. Now were getting somewhere. Better step up my game a little.

"You don't show it. Am I not as pretty as the other girls you dated?" I asked. I knew the girls he has dated in the past. I especially didn't like that Ino slut. She looked like such a whore. I was NOT going to let her take Shika-kun away from me. Bitch.

"Troublesome." he said under his breath. Troublesome? I'm not troublesome. You better watch it Shikamaru! You're walking on thin ice right now!

"If I'm troublesome, maybe I should go home." I said in a bitchy tone. That jerk. Lets see what he has to say now.

"Temari…What do you want me to say?" he said. He doesn't get it. The whole point of this is for him to say what he thinks. Numbskull!

"I want to know where I stand with you." I yelled, but then got really quiet. "Where I stand with the other Kunoichis." I really wanted to know the answer, but before he had the opportunity to speak, we were interrupted.

"SHIKAMARU!" a voice yelled from a distance. We were close to the front gate and we saw two figures walking down to meet us, one of which I could make out to be Naruto. I couldn't mistake that orange jumpsuit anywhere; you would think a ninja would were something that would allow him to be more secret and discreet.

"Shikamaru!" he said as he walked to us. Getting a closer look, I realized that Naruto had grown up and he looked…Sexy! Wow, I never thought that I could be so attracted to him. I blushed a little when he looked at me. "Oh. Hi uhhh…Fan lady."

Fan lady! I can't believe he didn't remember my name. Oh well. What can you expect from Naruto.

"Hmmmm…" he hummed, staring at us deeply. "Are you two dating?" he asked. Good job Naruto, I want to hear his answer myself. I looked at Shikamaru to see what he was going to say. I was shocked by his answer.

"N…no Naruto. Come on." Shikamaru said. My heart felt like it got stabbed in the chest. I couldn't believe my ears.

"No!" I said, nearly crying. "Never. In fact, I was just leaving." I turned and hurried into the village. I didn't know where I was going but I wanted to get away from Shikamaru.

"Great Naruto, now look what you did." Shikamaru said. "Now I got to go catch her. What a drag."

"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to make her mad. Well, you guys aren't dating so why does she care so much?" Naruto said. Shikamaru looked at Naruto like he had just said the stupidest thing in the world. Shikamaru would have face palmed if he weren't so lazy.

"Naruto, you're an idiot." He said. Just as he said that, a young, blonde Kunoichi approached Shikamaru.

"Hey Shika, long time no see. Wow, you've gotten stronger haven't you?" Ino said.

"Not now Ino, I have something I need to do."

I
