Shikatema High

Oh yea, in the previous chapter Temari had on shorts that came to about her thigh, well I changed those to down to her knees.

Chapter 10

They had all gotten to their room. Ino-pig wouldn't quit whining about the bed situation. Everybody was fed up with her. "That's it! Here's what we're gonna do Ino-pig. I'm gonna put everybody's name down on paper and then put the pieces of paper in a hat, and draw two names out of that hat and place the names on a bed, then I will read off who is in that bed, am I making myself clear." screamed Sakura. It wasn't a question, it was a demand. Ino crossed her arms and spun her ugly little head to the side. Sakura had prepared the names and was now getting ready to pick. She moved her hand around to mix the papers up and then pulled out two names. She placed them on one of the beds. She moved on to the next one, and the next one, and the next one, until she came to the single bed, she placed one name there. She then picked the name back up and giggled a little bit. "Ino-pig, you have the single bed." That comment made everybody laugh because Ino was so desperate to share with either Shikamaru or Sasuke. Sakura moved over to the next bed and picked one name up. "Tenten, you are with," Then she picked the other one up, "Neji." Sakura stated. Then she started laughing. Temari was very nervous, she was either with Sakura, Sasuke, or…or Shikamaru. When Sakura went over to the next one Temari had worry written all over her face. She picked up both names at the same time and said. "Temari and Shikamaru." Sakura began laughing even harder. "When she stopped she said. "Well I guess this leaves me and Sasuke." Sakura said in the kind of voice you would use if you got socks for Christmas.

The first activity was to go to the beach. Everybody got their swim wear on and headed out. Sakura had on a light pink bikini with hot pink polka-dots, and flip flops. Hinata had a dark blur one piece with a matching blue skirt that was semi-transparent, and flip flops. Tenten had on a turquoise bikini with brown squiggles on the sides with a tight surfer shirt over that, and surfers shorts that went down to her knees, with flip flops. Okay well they all had flip flops so I'm not gonna mention it anymore. Temari had on a light purple bikini with (The shorts I said she wore in the previous chapter). Ino had a red bikini that was hardly covering anything. Shikamaru had a pair of brown and green trunks with a white T-shirt. Sasuke had very dark blue trunks on. Naruto had orange ones with a white T-shirt with a picture of ramen noodles on the front and the words Ichiroku Ramen on the back. Last but most certainly not least was Neji who was wearing yellow trunks with silver lining. Tenten bought them for him because he never went swimming so he didn't own any. (Nobody did anything to their hair accept Ino who had let it down.) They were now out at the beach. Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata ran out into the water each pulling a boy along, besides Hinata, she didn't have to bother pulling Naruto along, considering he was running into the water of her own free will. Ino slowly walked up to the shore and got herself dripping wet and then sat on the shore trying to get either Shikamaru or Sasuke to notice her. Shikamaru had walked over to the least lumpy place he could find in the sand and laid down. Soon after Temari came up to him and sat down. Shikamaru bolted up. "God why does there have to be so many damn rocks in the sand!" Shikamaru practically screamed. "Oh hey Temari." He greeted now calmed down and sitting up. Temari who had now recovered form her fit of laughter got up and walked away. She came back moments later with Gaara. He used a jutsu to clear an area of sand that had no rocks and was really soft. Gaara then walked away without even saying a word. Shikamaru just stared, he was very confused.

"He cleared a spot for you with no rocks." Temari told him seeing the look of confusion on his face. Shikamaru got up and walked a few inches over to the cleared area. He then laid down and looked up at the sky. Temari sat down next to him. "So whacha doin?" Temari asked.

"I'm watching the clouds. What about you, why aren't you swimming?" Shikamaru wondered.

"I come from a desert, water isn't really my thing, and plus, if my hair gets wet the it falls out of the hair ties, and I don't like it when people see me with my hair down." She informed him.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Just cause. The only people who have ever seen me with my hair down is my family, you would have too because when I'm sleeping I let my hair down but when you came to find the bathroom I quickly tied my hair back." Temari explained. Shikamaru just nodded.

'It would be nice to see her hair down for once.' Shikamaru thought. A few hours later and it was now dark out. Sasuke, Neji, Naruto, Tenten, Hinata, and Sakura all walked up to the shore. They seen Shikamaru and Temari laying down and they all expected to walk up there and find Shikamaru sleeping.

"Oh they look so cute together, like they were made for each other." Sakura said staring at Shikamaru and Temari from the shore.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked confused.

"Can't you tell that they are in love." Tenten answered.

"No, they're just friends." Neji replied.

"I think they are just good at masking their feelings, well Shikamaru is anyway." Hinata added.

"Hmm, Shikamaru wouldn't bother taking the time to hide something." Naruto commented.

"You girls are so wrong, Shikamaru is in love with me." Ino walked over to them.

"Don't flatter your self Ino."-Hinata

"Why would Shikamaru love you ?"-Naruto

"Chyea right."-Tenten

"Never Ino-pig."-Sakura

"Nobody like you Ino."-Neji

"You're the last person Shikamaru would have feelings for."-Sasuke

All this was said at the same time. Ino had a surprise look on her face and then an angry one. "We'll see about that." she said before walking up to get her towel and then going back inside the hotel. The remaining teens all sighed and went to wake Shikamaru up. When they reached the two what they saw surprised them. Somebody was sleeping but it wasn't Shikamaru. Shikamaru seen them and stood up. He bent down and picked Temari up bridal style. She woke up by this and opened one eye but when she seen Shikamaru carrying her she quickly shut it and went back to sleep. Nobody noticed that Temari woke up because they were all staring ahead of them at a wet shivering slut sitting in front of the door. They all wondered why Ino was there and not inside.

"Ino does have the room key." Shikamaru sighed, he knew they were all wondering why she was there. "It's in the pocket on my trunks, could somebody get it." He said as they all reached their door. Shikamaru couldn't do it because Temari was in his arms.

"I'll do it!" Ino volunteered as she jumped up.

"No Ino, that's okay, I've got it, Neji said holding up the card he had just grabbed from Shikamaru's pocket. He opened the door and everybody walked in. Shikamaru went over to the door leading to the bed room. He struggled with it but eventually got it open. He placed Temari on their bed and stared at her for a few seconds.

'She really is beautiful.' Shikamaru thought. He was about to leave but then Temari called his name in her sleep.

"Shika, Shika, Shikamaru!" Temari screamed. He ran over to her and started shaking her until she woke up. Temari began panting.

"Temari what's wrong, you were screaming my name in your sleep?" Shikamaru questioned. Temari turned on her side and grabbed Shikamaru's T-shirt and buried her head in his chest and started crying. Shikamaru was suddenly very scared. He wrapped his arms around Temari. "It's okay, everything is okay now." Shikamaru whispered to her. 'What could she have dreamt that made her cry like this.' He thought.

After about fifteen minutes of Shikamaru holding Temari as she cried, Temari stopped crying, pulled away, and laid down. "Shikamaru, could you please go get Gaara and Kankuro?" Temari asked him.

"Yea sure, but are you going to be okay by your self?" Shikamaru asked. Temari nodded.

"I'll be alright, and could you send Tenten in here?" Temari asked.

"Sure, I'll be right back." Shikamaru said and then left shutting the door behind him. Moments later Tenten walked in. She was now wearing her Pajamas. They weren't really pajamas but they were what she was going to wear to bed. It was a red Tank top and grey track pants.

Shikamaru walked across the hall and knocked on the door. Lee was the one who answered it. "Hey Lee, could you get Gaara and Kankuro for me?" Shikamaru asked him.

"But of course youthful Shikamaru!" Lee screamed. Lee walking back into the room for a few moments and then Gaara and Kankuro came out.

"What's up Shikamaru, you didn't come here to tell us that you got our sister pregnant did you?" Kankuro asked.

"No. Temari asked me to come get you guys." He responded. Gaara shut the door and walked across the hall as Shikamaru unlocked his door. The three boys walked in and receive stares of everybody that was currently in the room, confused at why Gaara and Kankuro were here. They reached the bedroom and walked in. As soon as the door shut everybody rushed to stick their ear up against the wall. A few seconds later Shikamaru opened the door again. "Sakura, Hinata, Temari wants you guys to make sure that nobody eavesdrops." Shikamaru told the two girls . They nodded and demanded everybody away from the door. Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto complied but Ino had to be torn away.

Inside the room

"Shikamaru, Tenten know about our secret, and Tenten, Shikamaru knows about our secret." Temari said to her friends. They looked at each other and nodded. "Gaara, Kankuro, I was having a great dream about…well you don't need to know what it was about, but anyways, all of a sudden everything went black, and somebody was dieing right in front of me, I was defenseless, I couldn't save them. Then the akatsuki appeared. The leader stepped forward and he said that he knew where we were hiding and I was seeing the future. Shikamaru then woke me up.

"So you were dreaming about you happy marriage with Shikamaru until the akatsuki came and killed your beloved." Kankuro cleared up. Temari slightly blushed.

"I was not dreaming about Shikamaru, and he wasn't the one dieing." Temari denied.

"Oh yea." Kankuro turns around to face Shikamaru. "Why did you wake her up?" He asked.

"She was screaming my name, I thought she was having a nightmare." Shikamaru explained.

"And why would she be screaming your name? Because you were the one dieing." Kankuro had proved that indeed it was Shikamaru. Temari grabbed the closest thing that just so happened to be the alarm clock on the bedside table. She threw it at Kankuro's head and it hit the target. Kankuro stumbled backwards surprised by the sudden flying object hitting his head.

"Well unless it happens again we should ignore it, now I'm going back." Gaara said as he left. Then Kankuro left, followed by Tenten. Shikamaru walked up to the side of Temari's bed.

"You should try to get some sleep. I'll be right here waiting for you." Shikamaru said. Temari nodded her head and closed her eyes. Shikamaru went to turn the light off, he then came back over and grabbed Temari's hand as she fell asleep. He got up and left the room to order room service.

The room mates were all seated around the room with their dinners. Some were in conversation such as Sasuke and Sakura, Neji and Tenten, and well Naruto was talking while Hinata was listening. Shikamaru was eating alone at an actual table. Ino walked over and sat across from him. "Hey Shika, how bout we throw the whore on the single bed and me and you can share one." Ino suggested.

"Ino, I hate you," He walked around the table and pulled the chair out form under her, "and don't ever call Temari a whore." Shikamaru finished and walked over to an empty spot on the couch.

"Fine, I'm going to sleep then" Ino said it loud enough for everybody to hear. She walked into the bedroom and moments later there was a shrill screech. They all thought that Ino had gone in there and hit Temari while she was sleeping. Shikamaru was the first into the bedroom. But what he saw surprised him. Temari had Ino pinned down to the ground and was about to punch her. Temari let her fist fall and slam right onto Ino's nose. She was bleeding. Temari was about to punch her again but this time Shikamaru stopped her. He ran up, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled. He had pulled hard because he had expected Temari to pull back. But she didn't. He had pulled to hard and was about to fall and hit the bed. Temari had managed to twist around in his arms before they fell. Temari's face was cuddled up against Shikamaru's chest. She didn't want to move. She felt like she belonged there. With him. Forever. She subconsciously cuddled in more. Shikamaru was surprised. He felt very awkward. Not because of the position him and Temari were in. On the contraire, he liked the position. The thing that was awkward was that everybody was staring at them.

"Ah, Temari." That was all Shikamaru had to say to get Temari to realize what she was doing and jumped off him.

"Sorry." She apologized. She dropped her head to hide her blush.

"So what exactly happened? I expected to find Ino beating up Temari but it was the other way around." Sasuke asked/stated. Temari lifted her head back up.

"Well Ino-pig did try to beat me up, but I'm not as weak as her, so I was able to turn it all around and Ino lost."

"It would have worked if she wasn't up crying." Ino said. It sounded funny because she had her hand over her nose trying to stop the bleeding. Everybody turned to Temari.

"I-I was not, I'm just a light sleeper is all." Temari lied.

"Alright everybody, just continue whatever it was you were doing, and Sakura could you help Ino with her nose?" Shikamaru demanded/asked. Everybody but Shikamaru and Temari left the room.

"Why are you still here?" Temari asked him. Shikamaru sighed.

"Because you had another nightmare. When I was little, every time I had a bad dream I would go to sleep in my parent's bed with them. When I was with them I knew nothing could happen to me. So I'm gonna fall asleep with you, and I want you to know that I won't ever let anything happen to you." Shikamaru said as he crawled into bed. He was now wearing a black T-shirt and the brown pants he slept in at Temari's house. Temari left into the bathroom so that she could change out of her swimsuit and shorts. When she cam back into the bedroom she was wearing the purple tank top and shorts she used when Shikamaru slept over. She also had her hair tied back in a pony tail. She normally had it down but now she shared a room with eight other people. She was not going to let anybody see her with her hair all the way down. Shikamaru had taken his hair tie out. Temari just stood there staring at him. She loved how manly he looked with his hair down. She shook her head, turned the lights off, and went to bed with Shikamaru. After about an hour of them sleeping everybody else came in and fell asleep.
