Warning
The branches bent lightly beneath them as they moved. Step after step, he watched Temari's back ahead of him and wondered, silently of course, what it would be like to hold her.
"Turn right in thirty paces."
Shikamaru saw her nod curtly ahead of him and veer to the right a short while later.
Following her, he looked at Temari as she moved, he could see the muscles in her legs flex as she jumped from branch to branch and her arms relax as she leapt into the air in preparation to balance herself upon her landing.
Her expression was serious as always, a deadly glare in place, along with a knowing smirk. The rogue nin that they were up against hadn't a chance-Shikamaru and Temari were an unbeatable duo.
"They're close by," Pakun grumbled from behind him.
With another nod, Temari came to a halt on a branch, crouched down with a hand reaching for her tessen.
"How far?" Temari asked as she unclipped the lethal weapon from its holder and opening a single branch from it.
"A half mile. They're heading in this exact direction."
She wore a determined expression, and stared at the foliage around her as she waited for any sign of an enemy.
"How troublesome," Shikamaru grinned, knowing that she'd get annoyed at him for his lazy demeanour on a mission. "They can't even show up on time."
She rolled her eyes at him but didn't make eye contact.
"Stay focused." She growled in an authoritative tone. "We can't afford to let them get away. I'm warning you, if a single thing goes wrong..."
She trailed off as they heard a branch snap behind them.
They turned to face their opponent, both smirking proudly.
After all, They were an unbeatable duo.
A/N: Ughhhhh I was cringing so badly after yesterday's one so I actually just scrapped the last paragraph before my sanity could stab me o.O
Here's a more chill one. Idk, I totally dig these two kicking ass together-far better than soppy shit in my humble opinion, please let me know whatcha think!
