Akari's P.O.V.

Once I got to Shikamaru, Temari was already there. "Hey! I'm supposed to help Shikamaru, you bitch!" I yelled without thinking.

Shikamaru's eyes widened. "A-Akari!? I thought you left and weren't going to come back!" Yelled Shikamaru.

"I did leave and I'm not coming back but I found out that you were in trouble so I came to help you!" I replied.

"Just shut up and fight!!" Yelled Tayuya. The big goons (or Doki) she summoned came after us. I used my sleeping jutsu on the one coming after me but it didn't work!

"Shit!" I yelled as I ran from the big goons giant weapon. I hid behind a tree and thought for a second.

'If I get close enough to Tayuya, I'll be able to throw my black sleeping ball at her and she'll be helpless... but how do I do that?!' I thought. Then an idea hit me. I made a little black sleeping ball and got out a kunai. I put the ball in the ring of the kunai and threw it at Tayuya.

She dodged it easily. The ball in the ring of the kunai exploded in a black puff of smoke right around Tayuya. "Ha, it's going to take more than that to-" She fell asleep on the branch she was standing on.

"Temari! Use your summoning jutsu, she won't stay asleep for long!" I yelled. Temari used her summoning jutsu and a white weasle with a knife popped up and started slicing everything in its path. A tree fell on Tayuya and killed her.

"Well, that was troublesome." Said Shikamaru.

I sighed. "I can't believe I ever loved you."

Shikamaru looked at me. "You loved me?!"

"Just a little. " I said realizing what I said. 'I've got to start thinking about what I say before I open my big mouth.' I thought.

"Troublesome." Said Shikamaru. Hoshi, Hajime, and Hinagiku came right after.

"Aww, we missed it?" Asked Hoshi.

"Well, it's you fault," Said Hajime. "You were to busy making-out with Kankuro!"

Temari, Shikamaru and I looked at Hoshi as her face turned beet red. "WHAT!?!?"

"It's not my fault," she said twiddling her thumbs. "I went to kiss his cheek, for saving my sister, and then he moved at the last second and I kissed his lips..."

"Hoshi, I am soo shocked," I said. "I thought you wanted to be with someone else."

"It's not like I'm dating him now, otherwise I'd feel guilty about kissing Kankuro." She trailed off at the last remark.
