Shikamaru

Temari continued to pull me through that crowd. I felt his hand on my wrist. She was certainly drunk. What was enjoying the festival for her? Would she remember that the next morning? It didn't matter, at least not now. The only thing I could think about was if I really wanted to meet the staff.

I still wanted to talk to her, like a normal person. As friends. I don't know why but she has this effect on me, I have no idea what I feel when I'm around her. But she appears not to care much when she's around me too.

- Hey, hey - I said pulling her - Temari, wait - she looked at me and stopped

- What's it? -and she asked me

- I have a question to ask you - I said and thought about how I would elaborate this

- It is what it is? - she released me and it seemed like just the two of us in the middle of that wave of people

- Y-you… uh… sort of— - I scratched my cheek and she interrupted me

- Am I seeing someone? - It seemed like she had read my mind - If I was... - she said approaching - Would I have agreed to go out with you tomorrow?

- E-er, I don't think so - I replied.

- Now you ask? Last year you didn't really care about that - she laughed, so that night was still on your mind? - And we're not friends? Can't friends go on dates? By the way, let's work together - she completed

- Things change in a year - I said - But yes, we are "friends" - I said a bit ironically

- And how do they change - she looked me up and down - You've got your answer, genius - she shrugged - Come on, we're almost there - she would still drive me crazy

We continued walking for a while longer. But this time more slowly, I accompanied her by her side and every now and then she took a sip of her drink and I took a drag on my cigarette. We were silent, but not an awkward silence like the others, just a silence. Everything I had to talk to her, I would leave for tomorrow, when she was healthy.

In the distance I could see our little group. We were getting closer, the only one who wasn't there was Choji and I didn't see Naruto either, but I wonder why, he must still be eating and Naruto must be around. It was already past midnight and the moon still lit us constantly in the sky, I stared at her a little. Studying a bit about the history of Konoha, I couldn't satisfy my curiosity about the moon festival. He's already had lots of names and lots of stories, and unexplained things happen, and it felt like I'd found mine.

- Temari, Shikamaru! - Sakura called us and waved, we walked towards them, Kiba stared at me

- Enjoying the festival? - Ino asked taking a sip of her drink, it was another one that wasn't fully sober

- I am - Temari replied and I felt someone pull me, it was Kiba

- So you were together? - he asked and the breath of drink in his mouth was strong, by chance was only Sakura sober around here? - I thought you were going to help me with it

- I never said that, Kiba - I replied lazily

- So you want to be with her too? - he kept asking, he's talkative when he drinks

- And if I want? - I replied

- I mentioned her first - ah... If he only knew what she and I did first - That's not fair Shikamaru, you haven't even looked at her before

- And I need to look more than once to see that she's hot? - he was already pissing me off

- May the best win then - he said and I couldn't believe it, he looked like a child

- What? No, Kiba, come back here - I said but he didn't listen, we're back to the rest of the people

- So, what's the next attraction? - I heard Sakura talking excitedly as I approached

- Where's Naruto? - Temari asked

- He went to buy me something to eat - and Sakura replied

- Let's go to the amusement park, we haven't been there yet - Kiba put his arm around Temari, that was irritating me

- I just drank, it won't work out very well - Temari replied, taking his arm off

- Come on guys, there are several things to do here - Ino said - I want to win freebies in those stalls

- Come on - most nodded and we went

Sakura said she texted Naruto that we were going there and I texted Choji. As it was close to the eating area, it would be easier to find them both. We all walked together, the girls took the lead and I stayed with Kiba in the back. What turned out to be my worst nightmare. He wouldn't stop talking and hitting on random girls, I always had to keep pulling him.

Every now and then Temari would look back and our eyes would meet. It was kind of crazy stuff. My body seemed to crave her. As for my mind, it didn't work like that. Everything had a limit, even my horny. But seeing her walking ahead of me was taking me off the rails. That black dress that marked her body was tempting... She wouldn't stop drinking, how far could she stand?

Time passed and we arrived at the park. We split for the hour, Sakura went to meet Naruto and I with Choji. Ino, Temari and Kiba went together for some toys, as both Temari and Ino really wanted to get gifts. Surely Kiba would take this opportunity to try something, but I've told myself for the past thirty minutes that I wouldn't mind anymore. By the way, why was I even caring before?

I walked a little and it was good to think. Tomorrow I would have a date with Temari. It's okay that much of the matter will involve work. As my father told me, this comes first in her life. Suna is the most important thing to her, after her brothers. I studied her project and I must say it's no wonder, she's smart. She is better than that, she is a genius.

I was excited, not to say anxious. Sunday would have Tsunade's lunch which clearly she was invited, so as much as I "don't" want to, she will be present in my days for months to come. I confess that I was very anxious last year, I was so hungry for something new that I put expectations in the wrong places and the fault of me being disappointed is my own, she has nothing to do with it, she is an amazing person.

She has her life and I have nothing to do with it. I ended up skipping stages and steps and it wasn't what I wanted. I don't like her or anything like that, but yeah, I want to have her friendship because she's such an interesting person so to speak... While I was thinking about it, I ran into Choji, he was eating popcorn in a little booth. I talked to him for a while and told us to go meet the staff.

As I walked towards where we had split up I got a message from Ino and it was written: SOS. And the first thing that popped into my head was Kiba, what was he trying to do? I told Choji to go meet Naruto and Sakura that I was going to meet Ino. I quickened my pace and went to the location Ino had sent me, it wasn't too far away, but it was difficult to walk among all those people.

After five minutes I arrived and saw Temari sitting and Kiba and Ino talking.

- Hi - I said without causing a fuss, I didn't know what Ino meant

- Oh, hi! - she said in surprise, I believe she was pretending - Temari is not feeling very well - Ino winked at me - She needs company to go home

- I can do that .. - Kiba tried to speak but Ino kissed him, he was scared but he was really a bastard, Ino looked at me with a "get her out of here" face, even drunk Ino was brilliant, they were both blondes, I doubt that Kiba drunk the way he is would remember anything

- Come on, Temari - I said picking her up to get out of there as fast as possible.

- Wow, how strong you are - she said smiling and I blushed, it didn't matter, she wouldn't remember that tomorrow

Get her out of that place surrounded by people, there was a side exit and it would be perfect. I walked a little and she was leaning against my chest, she was incredibly light. It was not what I thought due to her robust body but apparently I was wrong ... As soon as we left that place I put her on the ground and asked if she could walk, she said yes.

Even so, she was leaning on me. That was the biggest physical contact we've had. I texted Yami to pick me up at her address and asked her to stop by the pharmacy to buy an aspirin and a tonic. She would need it. While I was with Temari, I received one from Ino saying: "You owe me one". I have the best friend ever.

- Where are we going? - Temari asked me

- Home - I replied

- My house is far from here, smarty-eyed - she joked - I think it's... 5 thousand kilometers - and smiled, the drink made her spontaneous

- The yours here in Konoha - I replied.

- And why not yours? Yours is so big and spacious, your bed is soooo comfortable - she spoke with certainty without thinking but I couldn't help feeling awkward, I just shook my head - Are we getting there yet? - she asked

- It's still a little while away - I said and it really was, we had just left

- It doesn't matter, if I'm with you I know everything will be fine - she said and it hit me full on, was that how she felt, truly? They say drinking takes the truth out of us, did she feel good about me?

- Really? And more what? - I wasn't an idiot, I would take this moment to know everything, or at least everything she could tell me

-You're a nice guy - she replied - And wow... - she smirked mischievously - That sex was amazing, did you know that I have dreams since then? - she laughed

That was the biggest confession I could hear. She had liked it. She had enjoyed it as much as I had, that was a relief. She felt the same way I did. She spoke with all the words I wanted to hear "That sex was awesome" and it really had been. I was happy to hear that. It tortured me for a while and now I had the truth. Things from her point of view. I would find out more, like Shadow.

- It was amazing for me too - I replied, my face must have been red, but there was no one there with us, the street was empty, there was no reason to feel ashamed - I even wrote a song about it...

- Serious? - she spoke in surprise - You're lying, you're not even a composer

- Don't believe it then - I smiled at her and I wasn't believing what I was going to ask - Would you stay with me again, Temari? - I asked at last, I needed to know, maybe sober she wouldn't answer me so sincerely

-I think... - she took a long time to form a complete sentence - The thing I missed most about Konoha was you - okay, I admit, she was much better at flirting than I was

This is as far as I could get today, questions. I wouldn't kiss her or anything like that. If it happens in the future, it happened but with her sober and in the right way. This was the greatest moment of intimacy we had and I knew how to enjoy it well, I learned in force that it was not good to force things, I was just letting the wind take it. In fact, I was letting this hurricane called Temari take me.

We arrived in front of her apartment, Yami was already waiting for me. I took the package from him and went upstairs with Temari. She told me the floor and apartment number. We got into the elevator and went up. When I looked at the clock it was three o'clock in the morning. Time flew by. I was wondering if I would meet the group again or save my strength for tomorrow, yeah... I think I better go home.

The elevator door opened and we walked to her apartment door. I took the key from her purse and opened it. The apartment was big, bigger than I imagined. We went in, I told her to go straight to the bathroom and take a shower. I hope she can do this alone, the effect of the drink must have worn off a little, it must only be a little dizzy.

She showered and smelled as sweet as before and didn't get hurt or fall, at least I didn't hear any strange noises as she waited on the other side of the door. If there was greater proof of friendship than that I don't know. She appeared wearing my shirt. Wait... She wore my shirt to sleep? I can't believe it... Temari... Temari...

- Let's go to bed - she called me and I got scared, was she only in her panties? This woman is unbelievable, not that I haven't seen more than that... But fuck

- All right - I replied, I would put her to bed and leave

We went to the room and it was spotless. She was organized, I can't say the same about me anymore. She came up to me and looked me in the eye, she put her subtle hand on my face and I was afraid of what would happen, I didn't want her to kiss me, not like that... She stood on tiptoe and gave me a kiss calm on my cheek, I blushed, I was surprised but happy... She certainly didn't let on but she also had a tender and sentimental side.

- Good night - she said smiling, tonight I would sleep as well as that day

Then she threw herself on the bed, and I breathed a sigh of relief, but not that much... Her black panties and her flat stomach were a sample and that turned me on, dammit. I put the medicine and tonic on the bedside table with a note. I covered her and while I was doing that she held my hand

- Hey, stay... - she said and it sounded like a plea, coming out of the back of her throat.

- No... Not today - in part it hurt to say that, but I did what was right

Before I knew it she was already asleep, she was beautiful sleeping, so calm... Yeah, it was time for me to leave. I said goodbye to her, closed her bedroom door. I left her apartment towards the car that was waiting for me outside, it was time to go home.

Now I was more than looking forward to our date. I was happy and I dare say that even surprised to know this side of her, was this supposed to happen? What if Kiba had brought her home? My head was a whirlwind of thoughts, since earlier things have been different... I don't believe in fate and much less in fairy tales. So why do I always end up coming back to you, Temari?

Temari

I woke up with my head pounding, my eyes sensitive to the light coming in through the window. Argh, Iordered so much drinking yesterday. I don't remember anything about last night. How did I get home? Anyway... The important thing is that I arrived and I'm fine. When I finally managed to get my bearings and open my eyes wide, I looked at the little table beside the bed for my cell phone.

I got a surprise. Beside him was a package with a note. I grabbed my cell phone and the package to see what it was. There were a few messages and many calls from Sakura. I put it aside and went to see the package, opened it and had aspirin and a tonic, a night out. Who left this here, who brought me home? I took the note to read it.

"I hope you wake up better, looking forward to meeting you, take care"

- Shikamaru

So he was the one who brought me home and nothing happened between us? Unbelievable, he's not even who I thought he was. Oh heavens, did I hit on him? I tried to remember last night but nothing, after we went to Shadow's dressing room I don't remember anything, just a blackout. I only have small flashes of the festival in my memory.

How wonderful... But okay, this weekend off was all I needed and I still managed to get rid of my brothers. They arrive later today. I mean... When I looked at the clock it was one in the afternoon. I slept too much. Yeah, there is time that I sleep that much but also... There is so much time that I don't go out to have fun.

I was building the strength to get out of bed when someone knocked on the door. I got up fast and everything spun, my head hurt. I walked to the door to open it. Its him? No, he wouldn't care enough to come here, he's already done too much leaving me at home, I would have to thank him.

I looked through the peephole of the door and saw that it was Sakura, she had an impatient face and was screaming at me, I opened the door and she stared at me

- No need to scream - I said

- You had me worried - she replied

- My bad, sorry Saks - I said sincerely - I don't even know how I got home

- Are you hungry? I brought lunch, I know you haven't had time to shop yet

- Where are your angel wings that I can't see? - I joked talking to her - I'm not hungry yet, you can leave it upstairs - I said pulling her to enter

- Ino told me that Shikamaru brought you, but I didn't know if you were okay - she said

- Yeah, I think he brought me... - I nodded - He even left a medicine and a tonic by my bed - I said neutrally

- Wow - she replied in surprise

- What's it? - I asked sitting on the couch

- So he took good care of you - she spoke and I felt the malice in her speech

- It's not what you're thinking - I replied - I don't think anything happened, I feel like it didn't happen

- I doubt it very much - she said, laughing

- I think I made a date with him - I said handing the note he had left

- I love this festival - she smiled as she read - Are you excited?

- I am, I have a lot of things to talk to him - I replied but I think she took it to the other side - Before you think bullshit it's about our project

- Yeah... Yeah, okay - she laughed

- I didn't come here to date, Sakura - I rolled my eyes

- I never said that - she blinked - Come on, get up and eat or I'll shove it down your throat

- Okay - at that point I wouldn't disagree with her anymore

We went to eat and talked. I said that my brothers would arrive today and that I would have company. She talked about how things are with Naruto, still the same. The food was great and I felt satisfied. After I took that tonic my nausea went away, I still can't believe he cared about me like that...

I was also looking forward to later. I decided to send him a message saying "thank you for last night", I sent him and he replied with a little face ";)" and then immediately sent "see you at 6pm?" and I replied "don't be late". It was our first cell phone conversation, I was feeling like a 15 year old, I rolled my eyes at myself.

I really wanted to talk about the project but... If anything happened I wouldn't object. I'm not sure what I felt, but I liked being around him. Maybe it was just horny. Where was I thinking? Why was I thinking about this? I let out some laughs

- What are you thinking? - Sakura asked me

- Which? Nothing - I replied

- So what are you laughing about? - she looked at me with a strange face

- I'm thinking about Shikamaru - I replied - I sent him a message thanking him for yesterday

- Uh, wow, wow - she choked - Thinking about what?

- I think I'm horny in him - I assumed and she spat out the water she was drinking

- Temari! - she screamed

- What is it? - I asked - You asked first - I shrugged

- Your sincerity is touching - she laughed

- Is there a problem? I really shouldn't be thinking about that... - I replied

- What problem? - she asked - I'm sure he feels the same - she laughed again

- I'm not here to get involved with anyone, I said that earlier - I explained

- Okay, let's see in three months how things are, don't be too hasty - she said

- What do you mean by that? - I asked laughing

- Nothing - she shrugged - Do you know the clothes you'll wear in the date?

- A blue dress, somewhat loose - I replied - And... Its not like a really date

- You like to joke with me, right? Of course its a date! - I rolled my eyes - After your "date", why don't you meet with us guys? - she asked - We'll be at the festival too

- All right, let's see what Shikamaru will want to do - I replied

We continued to talk and the hour flew by, when I went to see my brothers had already arrived in Konoha and were in an uber coming here. Gaara is looking forward to going to college and I say the same about Kankuro with his shop. They should arrive around 6pm and maybe I've already left. Sakura also left, went to get ready and meet with Tsunade.

I also started to get ready, took a shower and washed and dried my hair, put it in its standard hairstyle, put on my dress but I didn't give up my boot, I didn't care if it was a match or not. I put on some perfume and I was ready, it was almost six o'clock, five minutes to go. I got a message on my cell phone, it was him. Warning that he had arrived.

I texted my brothers and told them I was going out but that I had left the apartment open for them. I got out of there and got into the elevator. I was nervous? Maybe. He its not late, it's... Not bad. At least he takes what I say seriously, I like it that way. The elevator opened, I went through the lobby and got out.

He was across the street and our eyes met. He was charming, I'll admit, those piercings and his tattoo turned me on. Deciding who would take the first step, and so I did. I didn't wait for him, I walked towards him.

- Hi - I said and he stared at me

- Nice dress - He scratched his head and looked away, I noticed he had a new piercing in his tongue, that turned me on

- Thank you - I thanked - So... Where are we going? - I asked

- You invited me - he said - Forgot?

- I don't remember much of what happened last night - I replied - And by the way, I don't live here, you do, you should have invited me, unless you didn't want this meeting

- I want - he barely let me finish talking - There's a place we can go

- So let's go? - I asked

He called a car, was the place that far away? Where would he be taking me? Alright, I got it in my head that I was just going to follow him. We went in and went. We passed through those crowded streets and took a different road. I had never left the center. Maybe it could be a new adventure.

A few moments later...

I was looking out the whole time, I wanted to know every part of that place. We talked a little about the tree project, I told him about my country and he was interested in listening, which only made me more excited to talk. After a while it felt like we had arrived. The car stopped a little before, it looked like it could only go there. We went down and walked.

- Do you intend to kidnap me? - I asked to see if it broke the mood

- No - he was "serious", why? - Why the question?

- It wouldn't be a bad idea - I played as I walked in front of him

- You'll already find out where we are - he replied, and he wasn't shy this time

We walked among the trees and both he and I watched each one of them. It made sense that he brought me here. It was quite a forest, until she ended and so did the trail. And then I looked forward to it.

Konoha. View from the highest point. I knew where we were now, the monument to the Hokages. It was beautiful, from below they looked small but from up here, they were huge. And our... The view was beautiful from up here. Breathtaking.

- It's amazing here... - I said sighing

- That's why I brought you - he said approaching and standing by my side

- Thank you - I smile at him - Sorry if I gave you work yesterday

- It was nothing .. You are very fun drunk - he said lazily, that excited me

- We... - I said, making a gesture with my hands, indicating if we did something

- No - he rolled his eyes - I wouldn't do anything to you drunk

- And sober? - I couldn't stand it, he gave the cue

Let's agree. The two of us, in that place, that atmosphere. Surely something could happen, unless he didn't want to and that I was going to find out now. He looked at me and approached me. I knew he wanted it too. We both felt it.

- Can I? - he said while holding the back of my neck, it made me crazy, I never felt like this

- And you still need to ask .. - I said and it came out softly, like a whisper and so our mouths met

An explosion of sensation. His mouth was soft and fit mine perfectly. I would remember that forever. His kiss was voracious, it took away my sleep and peace. Intense. Accented. It's almost violent, but it was our will, I reciprocated. The metal he had on his tongue passing through mine, how good it felt and the more we did, the more the fire inside me ignited. I held his face and he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to him. I didn't want it to stop, I didn't want it to end.

And then…I felt it on my skin. A feeling never felt before. He broke the kiss and looked at me, we were ecstatic. Suddenly, that feeling again, cold and wet, I felt all over my arm, that was... Rain?

- What a drag... - he mumbled and walked towards the forest - Come, Temari - he said and when I saw it, I was under a tree - What are you doing? Come here soon

- I never felt that - I replied - The rain... It doesn't usually rain in Suna...

The rain intensified and I stayed there. I had never felt the rain on my skin. It was an indescribable feeling. I looked up at the sky, heard the crash of thunder. It was extraordinary. My dress, my hair, everything was wet. I liked feeling the rain, the cold wind that made my skin crawl. Shikamaru kept looking at me, he must officially think me crazy.

I walked slowly over to him, stepped into puddles, felt five years old again. I got close to him and kissed him.

- Hey, what are you doing... - he tried to speak

I held your hair. I was grateful. Thankful to him for being there with me, for making me experience this. I could sit there kissing him for hours. He picked me up in his lap and sat on the ground, both of us under that tree. I was on top of him, sitting on his lap feeling what was under those pants... He didn't care, but now because of me his clothes were all wet.

Sitting on his lap, I didn't feel cold anymore. I just felt him. Our hotness. My dress stuck to my body and the tip of my breast hard from the cold, rubbed against it. It turned me on, he turned me on. His lazy face was the hottest thing. We didn't need to say anything, we knew what we wanted. The flames consumed us. He distributed kisses over my neck and I moaned his name, there was just the two of us there.

I felt his hot tongue on my neck, as well as me, he was also panting. His male moans felt good and only made me more horny. He held my breast with one hand while keeping the other on my thigh, and it went up and up... I was always the dominator but with him, I didn't mind being dominated.

- Let's go home - he said between the kisses, breathless - I don't want you to be sick - he worried about me

-Okay...-I said in his ear - Just a little longer...

We stayed there for a while, together, and holding each other. His strong arms grabbed me and warmed me. I knew he wanted it as much as I did... Time passed and we went home, to my house. He gave me a coat in the car and we talked about the project. The conversation was light and fun, looking forward to Monday. I couldn't believe that day was already coming to an end. Tomorrow I will had lunch with Tsunade and I would certainly see him again.

We arrived quickly, I got out of the car and so did he. The street was old, but the festival was still happening, but after that meeting, I just wanted to stay at home.

- I liked it - I said and blushed

- W-we can repeat this more times, if you want .. - He spoke shyly

- I accept - I let out a smile - See you tomorrow?

- Yes - he replied and I wanted to kiss him right there, but I wouldn't do anything, I would even invite him up but I don't want him to meet my brothers, yet

- See you - I stretched my pinky

- See you - and he completed
