Akatsuki's War Chapter 21

I don't own anything.


After Shikamaru stop crying. He stood back up.

Temari looked at him. " Feel better?"

" Much better. Thanks for doing that." Said Shikamaru.

She smiled at him. " Your welcome. So are you going to attack me lazy?"

" Your the one person that I can't attack." He said with a smile.

" Glad to see you smiling lazy." She said.

Then Shikamaru widen his eyes. " I heard you were training to bring your brother back to life. Can you really do that?"

" I can. I can only use that power twice a year." Answered Temari.

Shikamaru had the biggest grin on his face. " Than you can bring Asuma back to life right?"

Temari gave him a sad look. " Sorry Shikamaru, that is something I can't do."

Shikamaru was very surprised to hear this. " Why not? Is it because your in Akatsuki and Asuma is from the Leaf Village? He has a child that has not been born yet!"

" Listen lazy, It has nothing to do with all the stuff you just said. The fact is I'm not God OK. I can't bring you back to life if you missing a body part and I also can't do it if you die twice. The main reason is because Asuma was killed by Hidan's technique." Explained Temari.

He raised a eyebrow at that. " What do you mean?"

" To make a long story short. I had to do a little mission with Mr. Kakuzu and Hidan about a year ago. On that mission, Hidan killed a little girl. He did that technique he did on Asuma. After I kicked Hidan's ass, I tried to bring the little girl back to life. I soon found out that Hidan's Jutsu block my power to bring her back." She explained.

" Are you saying that if anyone is killed by Hidan's Justu. You can't bring back to life?" He questioned.

She gave him a sad smile. " That's right."

" Are you going to warn Kakuzu and Hidan that I coming after them?" Questioned Shikamaru.

Before Temari could answer, Shuriken came flying at Temari. She dodged them. Two people jumped down beside Shikamaru.

" Are you OK Shikamaru?" Asked Ino.

Choji looked at Temari. " Temari?"

Temari smiled them." Hey Choji, how have you been?"

" Good. Thanks to you." Answered Chouji.

Ino gave Temari a glare." What the hell is a Akatsuki scum doing here?"

Temari just smiled at her. " Oh so the little girl has a back bone. Have you improved since the Chunin Exams or are you still giving great Kunoichis a bad name?"

" Shut up! Get ready guys. We are going to capture you once and for all." Said Ino.

" Ino stand down now." Said a serous Shikamaru.

Ino gave Shikamaru a glare. " I know you like her, but she is our enemy. She is in Akatsuki and is friends with those two freaks that killed our sensei."

Shikamaru glared back at her.

" Stop you two. This is not the time to fight." Said Chouji.

" You know something lazy, both of them are right." Said a grinning Temari.

Shikamaru looked annoyed. " Your not helping much troublesome woman."

Ino glared at Temari. " Your mother is scum."

Temari smiled disappeared right before their eyes.

Shikamaru whispered to Ino." What the hell are you doing? I told you to never talk about her mother like that. She will kill anyone for that."

" Then why does she even come here to see you?" Asked Ino.

" She is troublesome." Answered Shikamaru.

Temari started to do some hand signs. Then giant roots came out of the ground and tied Ino, Shikamaru , and Chouji up before they could even know what was going here.

" Dammit! What the hell is this?" Questioned Ino.

Chouji was trying with all his power to brake out, but it did him no good.

Shikamaru widen his eyes. " This Jutsu. How did you get his blood?"

Ino and Chouji had no clue what Shikamaru was talking about.

Temari started to walk up top them. " Leader gave me the First Hokage's blood."

All three of them widen their eyes at that.

" How is that possible?" Questioned Shikamaru.

Temari ignored that question and grinned at them. " I could kill you three right now. I really want to kill you for what you said about my mother."

Ino looked scared until Temari told them she will not kill them. " Why?"

Temari pointed at Shikamaru with a grin. " Only for lazy."

Shikamaru smiled at her. " Thank you."

" Don't thank me just yet." Said Temari as she pulled out a kunai.

Ino widen her eyes. "What the hell are you doing."

Temari smacked Ino in the face." That was for what you said about my mother." She said as she stabbed her leg.

Ino screamed in pain. Chouji begged for Temari to stop. Temari filled a tube for of Ino's blood and put it in her belt. Then she healed Ino's leg.

Then Temari walked over to Chouji. " This is going to hurt Chouji." With that, she did the same thing to Chouji as she did to Ino.

Ino widen her eyes. " What the hell is she doing? Is she doing a religion like Hidan?"

" No, she is stilling our blood." Answered Shikamaru.

" You mean she stealing our powerful jutsus?" Asked a shocked Ino.

Temari smiled at the both of them. She had just finish healing Chouji. " Of course. Your power will be useful to me. Your last lazy."

Soon she was done.

" The next time we meet I won't be so merciful. You are right Shikamaru I need to choose a side. Akatsuki is my life now. So stay away from me lazy or I'm going to kill you." Said Temari as she started to walk away.

Shikamaru was watching her walk away. " Will you marry...

He was cut off by two sharp bones that flew and hit the roots. They were both beside his head.

Shikamru sweat drop at that. " That woman almost killed me again."

Temari looked really mad now. " How dare you! Don't you dare say that to me again Shikamaru."

" I won't give up on you Temari." Was all Shikamru said.

Both Ino and Chouji decided to not say anything. Since they were both calling each other by name.

" Then your a fool." Said Temari.

Shikamaru raised a eyebrow at that. " I think you love me just as much as I love you."

" You are full of crap." Said Temari.

" If that was true. Then why did you come to see me about Asume's death? Don't say that it was only because of my blood. If that was it. Then you would have done that from the beginning." Explained Shikamaru.

Temari gave him a easy look now. " I care about you, but I'm with the Akatsuki. Even if I never meet them and my birth parents raised me. I would have grown up in the Sand village. It would still be the same issue. We would be from different villages."

To this Shikamaru didn't have a clue what to say. He could think up a hundred things to say, but when it came to Temari. His mind would go blank.

Temari gave him a big smile. " That jutsu should last for another ten minutes. This is our final good bye Shikamaru."

" Please Temari, just think about what your doing." He said.

Temari just walked over to him and kissed him on the check." Take care Shikamaru." She said as she disappeared in a cloud of sand.

Shikamaru looked at Ino and Chouji. They both looked over at him with a sad look.

" When we get freed. Meet me at the Asuma's grave and then we are going after Hidan and Kakuzu." Said a very serious Shikamaru.

They both nodded in agreement.
