iTunes Shuffle Self Challenge. Thing.

1. I'll Attack- 30 seconds to mars (A line in the song)

Run away from this if you want to. You won't be able to. Believe me, I've tried. These feelings, urges. They're not so easy to escape. As soon as you let your guard down, they attack your mind, every fibre of your being. Everything that makes you who you are.

You make me who I am. And I don't want to run away anymore.

2. The Moment I said It- Imogen Heap (Title and some of the song lyrics)

"Ignore it," she said, panicked. "It just slipped out. It didn't mean… it wasn't true."

He stared at her in amazement. "You… you just said you loved me…"

'Yes, but… I have to go."

"Temari, the sun's barely risen."

"I have to go. They're expecting me back in Suna. I… I have missions to attend to."

He snorted. "Bullshit. You're off for the next week."

"I have to go."

"You're just going to run away, aren't you? Run away from your feelings."

She didn't reply.

"Don't. Please. Just stay here, with me."

"I-"

"You don't have to go. Stay."

She did.

3. Lollipop- Lil' Wayne ft. Static (Some of the beginning song lyrics- I think)

He inhaled her scent as he attacked her neck, the sweet taste of her addictive and not allowing him to leave. His lips and tongue traced paths down her neck, patterns on her skin. Her moans and suppressed gasps drove him on. She was trying not to make a noise, reluctant to let him hear the effect he was having on her. It just fueled his desire; making him all the more determined to make her scream. And he would; he would make her scream before the night was over.

4. Dear Mr President- Pink (Title)

Dear Kazekage Gaara

I am aware that you do not hold me in the highest of positions in your heart, or mind. I know that you would just as soon as kill me as look at me. And I know that your view of me is highly biased, because of the fact that I am sleep- in love with your sister.

By the way, she returns my feelings. I know she's told you that time and time again, but I also know that you haven't seemed to absorb it or accept it at all, so I took this time to remind you yet again.

The point of this letter is to tell you that I intend on marrying your sister. If I were not so sure that you would say no I would ask you permission for her hand. So I'll just forgo that part and say thank you, and that I am moving so you will not be able to find me to kill me.

With my deepest regards,

Shikamaru Nara.

5. That Summer Feeling- City Bowl Mizers (Title)

"Shikamaru, are we ever going to leave this field?" Temari asked him lazily as they watched the clouds being tinged pink by the sunset.

"Do you want to?" he replied.

"No."

"Then probably not anytime soon, no. I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility though. Sometime in the future. But it's summer, and it's nice and warm, so that needn't be until we are starving and need food."

"Tomorrow, then.'

"Tomorrow."

6. The Little Things Give You Away- Linkin Park (Title)

"You like her."

"What are you talking about, Chouji?"

"You're in love with Temari."

Coughs, splutters, choking.

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are. I can see. It's all in the way you act around her. Shikamaru, I've known you for too long. I know you too well. You can't bullshit me."

Blush, scowl.

*~*~*

"You're fucking kidding me."

"What?"

"You fucking love the little runt."

"…Eh-hem. Kankurou, what the hell are you talking about?"

"It's so obvious. How could I have not noticed it?"

"Noticed what?"

"That you're in love with that Nara brat."

"There's nothing to notice! I'm not in love with him!"

"Actually, Temari, you are."

"Thank you, Gaara."

"…Bloody bastards. Too observant for your own good."

*~*~*

The little things gave them away.

7. Self-Inflicted- Katy Perry (Title and song lyrics)

Every time I have to go home, I feel as if I'm breaking more and more in two. But I can't stop seeing you. I choose to hurt myself like this- you're my drug. All the scars on my heart, all the tears in my eyes that will never fall… they're all self-inflicted. But it's all worth it. I've broken almost every bone in my body, but leaving you hurts more. The idea of never seeing you, tasting you again kills me. The idea of abandoning my village, my brothers… hurts just as bad. So I'll keep hurting myself to stay happy.

8. Converting Vegetarians- Infected Mushrooms (Title)

"You're so hard to love!" Temari cried. "Seriously! You're so dead set against the idea of love, so sure of what you want from life… you won't even admit that maybe, just maybe, things like this can't be planned. You can't rule your heart, it does its own thing! Believe me, it's highly annoying. But… oh, if I didn't love you so much, I would hate your guts. Sometimes I think that maybe you're warming up to the idea of love, and then you go do something pigheaded again. It's hard loving you. It's even harder trying to get you to realize that maybe you love me too. It's like trying to convert a freaking vegetarian who's a complete and utter softy and animal mad and-"

"Hey, woman," he interrupted. "Just shut up for a second, will you?" He leant forward with a smirk on his face. "I'm a carnivore."

9. Build God, and Then We'll Talk – Panic at the disco (Repeated line in the song- 'what a wonderful caricature of intimacy)

The whole thing is a sham. The whole thing. All their 'couply' stuff that they do. It's like a caricature of intimacy. And that stupid blonde doesn't even realize it. Yes, I am blonde too, but… I'm not dumb. He knows that. But she is. And she's a demanding little bitch as well. That's why the whole situations like it is. I hate being the 'other woman', but I do realize that his whole charade is actually best for us. It diverts suspicions, which is necessary. And Ino, poor thing, hasn't even realised that her whole relationship is a fake.

10. Psycho- Infected Mushroom (Title- which is the only word in the song)

"What the hell, woman!" Shikamaru exclaimed as he ducked the fan swung at his head yet again by his irate girlfriend. "What is wrong with you? I just said he used to be a psycho!"

"Don't you ever insult my brother again!" she yelled, attempting to behead him.

"I said used to be! As in past tense!"

"You said he was a psycho!"

"I said he used to be a psycho!"

"It still stands!"

"No it doesn't!"

"Gaara is not a psycho!"

"No, he's not!" Shikamaru yelled.

The fan came down and she smiled sweetly at him.

"There we are. That's better."

"I got it wrong," he muttered grumpily. "You're the psycho of the family."

It seemed she heard him.

"What did you say?!" she screeched and he inwardly sighed as he prepared to fight off the fan again.

Oh, how he hated PMS.

11. You- Breaking Benjamin(Title)

Do you want to know what holds me to this world, what keeps me sane? What prevents me from staying lucid? What allows me to see every particle clearly, what makes me blind to everything? What stops my heart dead, what keeps me alive?

Well, the answer's easy, really.

It's You.

12. Banana Pancakes- Jack Johnson(Song lyrics)

"Don't get up," he moaned, reaching out to grab her wrist.

"Shikamaru, we have work."

"It's raining."

"That doesn't stop work," Temari said with a chuckle.

"Can't we just… pretend it's Sunday? Close those goddamn curtains- the sun's really bright by the way- and pretend that nothing else exists?" he asked, lifting his head from the pillow.

She smiled. "The idea is tempting."

"We don't actually have any missions. We'd just have to go get more. Let's just take a day off. One day. We hardly have any time together."

She gave in.

13. Somebody To Love- Queen(Title)

He had found her. As troublesome as she was, as troublesome as the whole affair was, he had found her. Regardless of the fact that it completely messed up all his plans for the future- his entire life… and possibly even his chance for a life, if her brothers had anything to do with it- his heart had gone right ahead and sealed the deal. And he couldn't be completely resentful, because the alternative to his planned life was her. And that seemed to be all he needed right now.

Yes, he had found her.

As much as he had thought he wouldn't, as much as he had hoped, dreamed, wished he wouldn't… he had found somebody to love.

14. Life Of My Own- 3 Doors Down(Title)

"Stop trying to control my life!" she yelled as Kankurou and Gaara pestered her about her choice of lover- again.

"Goddamnit, you may be my brothers, but that doesn't mean you can plot out my life. Just… it's my life, I'll do with it what I will."

"But, Temari, really, a Konoha ninja? He's a mistake."

"Maybe, but let me make my own mistakes please. Besides, I quite like this mistake. So just butt out, okay? It's my life, and you guys… brothers or not, have no say. Okay? No say in my life whatsoever."

Kankurou and Gaara sullenly looked at the floor. "You tell us how to live," Gaara pointed out.

"Yeah, well, I'm older."

15. The News- Jack Johnson(Title)

"Hey, Gaara, Kankurou!" yelled Naruto excitedly. "Isn't the news great?"

"What news?" Kankurou asked curiously.

"You mean you haven't heard? I figured you guys would know for sure, it being Temari and all…"

"What about Temari?" Gaara asked.

"You really don't know?"

"Just tell us, Uzumaki," Kankurou growled.

"She's pregnant."

Silence.

"WHAT??"

Kankurou chased Shikamaru extensively after that.

-END-

A/N: Okay, so I saw this idea for a challenge and I decided to set it as a challenge for myself. So I put my iTunes on shuffle and whichever song came up I wrote a short ShikaTema story/drabble inspired by that song within the time that the song was playing (I liked the Infected Mushroom songs- they were long ^^). I admit, I skipped one or two because by the time the song was over I would not have gotten anything- like songs from the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack and Afro Celt songs (which are all in some language I do not understand), but they were really hard okay, I did the best I could!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this often very random drabbles. Please Review!!
