A/N: Nah you did not just inspire the title of the Irritating drabble. You inspired the whole thing.

According to Temari, Kiba is ok

There's a loud knock on the door and when Kiba opens it, Temari comes barraging in, pushing him on the side so she could pass thru.

"Close the door" Temari demands then seeming to change tactic midway says more amicably "Please"

To say Kiba is surprised is an understatement. Temari is in his home, looking a bit distraught with a baby deer on her arms. "Whazzup Temari?" Kiba asks, closing the door then he looks from the sleeping deer to Temari then back at the deer.

"Before I tell you, you have to promise first that this will be our secret" Temari seems to shed off her nice attitude which she has tried to emulate a while back.

"Depends" Kiba's eyes narrow "You did not steal that deer in a fit of anger towards Shikamaru, did you?"

"Of course not! The Lazy ass gave it to me as a present. I already told him I don't know anything about deers but he says it's good for my mater—my character to care for some pet" Temari fumes.

"So what's wrong?" Kiba questions, now reassured.

"I feed Shikaruma some milk and now he won't stand up. There's something seriously wrong with him!" Temari admits.

"Shikaruma? Nice!" Kiba grins.

Temari suddenly glares "Kindly focus on the problem. WHAT SHOULD WE DO?"

"We? As in me included?"Kiba points towards himself "Couldn't you ask Shikamaru?"

"No! And you couldn't tell him either" Temari threatens.

"Aw man I see" Kiba smiles mischievously.

"Here" Temari gives the deer to Kiba for him to check "Do you think he'll be alright?"

After placing the deer on the table, Kiba palpates the deer's tummy "I'm not really knowledgeable about deers but I think you just overfeed him. He'll be alright"

"Thank Kami" Temari says in relief.

-o0o-

Temari and Shikamaru are walking side by side when suddenly they meet Kiba with Akamaru going on the opposite direction.

"Yo Temari, Shika!" Kiba shouts in greeting while Akamaru barks and wags his tail.

Temari smiles hugely and nods her head towards Kiba while Shikamaru states Kiba's name.

When Kiba has already passed, Shikamaru looks at Temari meaningfully.

"What?" Temari asks, her eyes a bit shifty.

"What favour have you asked from Kiba?" Shikamaru answers with another question.

"What makes you think I owe him?" Temari stops walking and glowers at Shikamaru "I simply think he's okay. End of story" Temari resumes walking, leaving behind Shikamaru who just typically murmurs "Tch"

A/N: To Jigoku-nya, how about this?

And in case someone noticed, Temari was going to say maternal instinct but said character instead. That tidbit is brought to you by MS by the way.
