Temari had just came from a line of long, boring meetings. And to make things worse, it was the hottest day that Suna had ever experienced in it's history. While she had become immune to the blistering heat of normal Suna days, this day compared to a fiery inferno. This limited her plans for the day, making the only thing she wanted to do was lay next to the A.C to cool down. Which she didn't object to, and sighed in relief when she made it her and her brothers house.

"Shika! I'm home" She laid her shoes neatly next to the door, and began to head upstairs to her room when he didn't answer. Sure they stayed in a mansion, but her boisterous voice echoed throughout each hall.

'He should've heard me. Lazyass must still be sleeping'

But as she kicked the door open, hoping to scare him awake, she noticed the bed empty. So her first instinct was to look through the whole house, but it was empty except for her. 'He's not at the kazekage headquaters, because I would have seen him. Asshole could've at least left a note, now I have to go find him. So much for relaxing'

She clenched her fist together and yelled loudly, feeling irritated because now she was on the search for a grown man. So she put her sandals on, and slammed the door on her way out.

Shikamaru didn't know Suna that well, and today after her meetings, she planned to show him all the best restaraunts and stores. But the wheather had other plans, so she told him to just stay in the house. But he didn't listen, which wasn't like him to pass up relaxion.

'I hope he's okay' She felt a small chill run up her spine. What if he wasn't okay, what if something did happen to him, were the only thoughts running through her mind. So now she had no choice but search all of Suna to look for him. First she checked the main road, but none of the vendors said they had seen them. The fact that this was the only place he was familiar with in Suna and no one had seen him, made her worry intensify.

She went back to the house just to see if he had returned, but nope. Her boyfriend was nowhere to be found. So she began on her search for Shikamaru, this time only feeling more perturbed.

So she decided to take a chance and head near the school, knowing he had never been there before. As she approached it, many of the kids that were playing had stopped and began to address her.

"Have you guys seen a tall man, with black pineapple shaped hair" Of course he had many more attributes: hot, smart, nice, lazy. But they were kids so she had to keep it PG, and they wouldn't have known some of the other things by just looking at him. So this was the best desription she could give them.

"He went that way to the training grounds" A little boy said, point in the direction that he had seen him walking.

"Thank you" She waved him off and ran as fast as she could to the training grounds and lo and behold, there he was. Lying on his back, arms folded behind his head, sleeping.

He looked so peaceful, but yet here she is stressed out because of him. So she kicked him, with all her force, in his ribs.

Once he woke up, she kneeled next to him, making sure that he was not injured, and she felt a huge relief when found out that he was perfectly fine. Of course, she began nagging and he complaining. But he could tell that she was only concerned for him, so he just began to listen to her.

"Just don't make me worry, understand?"

"I understand"

Shikamaru had gotten up and reached out his hand for Temari to take hold of, which she happily gripped on to.

"Why the hell were you all the way out here anyway"

"You guys didn't leave any food in the fridge, so I went to look for a store. Instead of finding one, I had gotten lost and ended up here."

"All this trouble for food, and you call me troublesome" Shikamaru rolled his eyes to conceal a chuckle that he was supressing, because he realized that he was in fact in trouble.
