Shikamaru Nara and Temari Sabuka decided that the day was boring and they should do something crazy, well, Temari thought they should do something wild and crazy.
"How about we go to the mall? I haven't been there since the first day of this damned trip and I heard that they got a new shoe department." the Sabuka suggested.
Great Shikamaru though. Another day wasted for him. He dreamed of sitting on the highest mountain peak and just lying down, letting the sun tan his skin and the clouds soothe his body.
"A shinobi has got to deal with troublesome things once and a while with a smile on their face, even if it is a troublesome woman." Shikamaru father had told him all the time.
"I guess it was true, then." Shikamaru said to himself as they walked close to the Konoha Mall.
Temari immediately ran toward the shop called "Deals and Discounts" It's the place where Shikamaru hated the most. It had prissy, purple curtains around the windows, and little mechanical birds chirping and screaming the entire time.
"I'll be staying outside." Shikamaru announced, but Temari had ideas of her own. "Oh no you don't little boy. YOU have to pay for this, and I am not leaving the clothes hidden behind a wall just to go wake up your lazy ass." she said dragging him along.
Two hours later, Temari came back to the cash register just to see the lazy Nara snoozing near the entrance of the store.
"Shika... Maru!!!" she grunted as she hid her clothes behind a wall to go and beat up the lazy ninja's ass.
After Temari had spent $120 dollars on clothes that she will stash in her closet and never see again, the two went to a place that Shikamaru actually liked. The perfume parlor. The Nara had to admit, the place did smell pretty good.
Shikamaru especially liked the fragrance "Claret Deep" It smelled like peaches and cherry. The bottle was wrapped in red ribbons and had a price tag that made Shikamaru choke: $55!
Temari was testing out some ocean perfumes, when Shikamaru was greeted by some pretty girl.
"Hello. I just wanted to know: Do you like cologne?" she asked. Shikamaru stuttered a bit, but answered truthfully. "Uh, yes. I actually do." he said.
She smiled sweetly. "Well, I just wanted to give you a super cool deal. Here is the newest line of cologne by Hakanmi Saosi." she said smiling and holding up a glass bottle filled with blue liquid that looked thin.
Shikamaru's eyebrows rose a bit. He loved Hakanami Saosi's line of cologne. It had a manly smell, plus it was easy to open.
"Now, I can tell that you like this line of cologne, right or wrong?" she asked. Shikamaru smirked. "Your right." She smiled. "So, how about this: If you purchase this cologne now, you get a 50 discount off the original price!" she smiled.
Shikamaru's eyes bulged. Fifty percent was a lot off! "How much was the original price, anyway?" Shikamaru asked. The black haired girl thought a bit. It must be pretty pricy then. Shikamaru thought in despair.
"It was $90." the ditzy girl announced giggling. Shikamaru had to force a smile from breaking out on his face. "That's forty five dollars off the original price then!" the Nara exclaimed. The girl wasn't exactly a scholar, but at least she understood what he said. "Uh Huh. Forty Five dollars, but this deal will only be available for about, three more minutes." she said, luring him in.
"I'll take it!" Shikamaru said, handing her the money as he took the cologne. The girl smiled and left, looking for something else to persuade.
Shikamaru was oddly satisfied with his purchase; he sprayed a little on his neck and wrists and inhaled. "That's good stuff." Shikamaru smiled.
After Temari had purchased $30 worth of useless make up and perfume that she would stash in her make up table and probably sell in a Tax Sale, Temari decided that she wanted to go see a movie, again.
"Oh boy. Fine, fine. We'll see what's playing upstairs." he said. The two took the escalator, and in under a minute, they were at the top of the mall.
Temari looked around just to see the girl that she defeated in the Chunin Exams, TenTen, along with Neji Hyuga, that cute boy who had a nice butt.
"Hello Neji and TenTen!" Temari greeted them cheerfully, smiling a mile a minute. TenTen may have lost to Temari in a pitiful way, but she took no note of that, she was here at the mall, with Neji!!! Even though he reminded her countless times that they were here just to meet Gai and Lee, she felt as if they were really bonding.
"Hello there Sabuka Temari." Neji said coldly. Temari's grin drooped. Neji had this problem, or obsession with saying a persons name backwards, the last name in front.
"Hello Neji." she muttered. Neji grunted. Their eyes met, fiery eyes, those of anger.
Bitch Neji thought. Prick Temari thought. She's such an ugly female Neji said in his head. This little dick looks gay, or metro sexual at the least. Temari said to herself.
"Sooooo." TenTen broke through the thick silence with her dragging "so". "How about we go se a movie?" she suggested. Temari's gaze on the Hyuga broke. "Yeah! Me and Shikamaru were going to see one." Temari laughed a little.
The four walked to the movie ticket booth. "Hello. Do you have four tickets to that new film, Final Hours?" Shikamaru asked the girl in the booth.
She looked at him nastily. "Yeh, we have four tickets. It's $25 dollars." she said, a cigarette dangling from her mouth.
"Okay, here you go." he says, handing her 25 dollars. She takes it and gives them the tickets. "The movie starts at 1:30pm, you still have 30 minutes." she says, coughing a bit.
Shikamaru groans. Great, now I have to treat TenTen and Neji to food or something. I better get a raise. he thought as they all walked away from the movie booth.
"So, what are we going to do in the meantime?" Temari asked the Nara. He stared at her, angrily. She smirked, knowing that he hated it when she asked him what they were going to do.
"We can wait." he suggested. "And we can also go to the food court and get some pizza." she said immediately after him.
Troublesome. He thought as they went near the food court. "Who wants pizza?" Shikamaru asked, annoyed. Two hands raised in the air. Neji walked next to him, "I'll pay, I can tell a bomb as already hit your pocket." he snickered.
Shikamaru blushed, and took a seat next to Temari. The next 10 minutes were the most painful minutes of the Nara's life. The loud voices of both kunoichi about boys and makeup made it feel as if the Nara's ear was being raped.
Make it stop he screamed in his head. Make it stop he screamed again in his tiny head. Finally, the Hyuga returned with four pizzas and four small sodas.
"Okay, two pizzas and two small sodas for two ladies." Neji said with a little playful tone in his voice. "And two pizzas and two sodas for us men." he said again, giving a pizza to Shikamaru.
After another ten minutes, the four finished their pizzas and sodas, and were ready for the movie.
"You got the tickets?" Neji asked Shikamaru. Shikamaru smiled and nodded. He checked his pockets, but they weren't there! "What the fuck?" he thought, and then he saw something. Naruto, running away with their tickets.
"Oh no you don't, you little prick!" Shikamaru hissed as he chased the Uzumaki.
