Temari and Shikamaru was now walking around the village looking for a restaurant. Many places were closed in honor of Naruto's wedding, and Shikamaru promised her a date after the event.

"Not many places to choose from"

"Not every date has to be some fancy, extravagant place"

"Well do you have something in mind"

"Let's go to your mother's house"

He stopped in his tracks. He wasn't sure if he heard her correctly. Did she just suggest his mom's house. He could barely function with being around one of them, but both of these troublesome women together was sure to bring him agony.

"Are you sure"

"Yes I'm sure" Her tone had a hint of anger to show that she was unsatisfied with his response.

"Sure about what" A man dressed in all black with purple face paint appeared behind them.

"Are you following us"

"No. I was bored, so I decided to get away from everyone"

"Why, wasn't there a drinking game going on. I'm surprised you're not hammered"

"Gaara asked me not to drink today and then left me with nothing to do"

"You actually listened"

"Well he is the Kazekage and he rarely asks me not to drink. So it's the least that I can do"

"Where is he"

"With Naruto and all of the Kage"

"Oh. Well I guess I'll see you later" She quickly grabbed Shikamaru's wrist and began walking the wrong way to his mothers house, having no idea where the Nara compound was.

"Hey! Where are guys going"

"On a date"

"I'm going with you, to make sure Nara doesn't get any ideas" He began following them, they knew he was there and they didn't complain about his presence.

"Wouldn't dream of it"

"Kankuro, stop harassing him. Let's go lazyass"

"So are we still going to-"

"Yes we are. Now stop complaining and start moving your feet!"

Shikamaru began to walk the right way with two of the Sand Siblings following him. He had a key to the house, so he let them in. "Mom!"

She quickly went to the door to greet her son, but soon found out that he had guest. She gasped at the sight of them, She knew Temari standing there must've meant that something was going on between her son and the lovely girl.

"Shikamaru! Why didn't you tell me we were having people over"

"Mom, do you have to nag?" Temari quickly punched him in them head and he winced in pain. Yoshino smiled, she knew this girl would keep her son in check.

"I'm sorry Yoshino-San, I suggested that we come over. I knew if I left it up to him, I would never get a chance to meet you"

"Well I'm glad to have you both here and make yourselves at home."

She took them to the kitchen and told them to take a seat at the table while she prepared them some tea. They were still full from the wedding, and turned down the food that Yoshino offered.

The talk over the table wasn't awkward at all, if fact he thinks this is the most his mom spoke ever since his fathers death.

"So How has my son been treating you"

"So far he's been pretty good, but there's always the laziness and complaining"

"Him and his father has always been like that, I tried to beat it out of him but that didn't work" The two women just laughed and talked. Kankuro said he had a meeting, so he left. Temari looked at the clock and it said 1 am, they didn't realize that the time flew by so quickly.

"I'm sorry I kept you here with my rambling, Temari"

"It wasn't rambling, I actually enjoyed the conversation"

Temari yawned, showing that she was tired. She could hardly keep her eyes open. As soon as they arrived in Konoha, they only had time to get dressed. And three days without sleep really put a strain on her body.

"Tem we could stay here tonight, if you're to tired to walk to the inn"

"That'll be nice"

He showed her to his room and handed her a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. Even though he moved out, he kept clothes there because he often spent the night. He showed her to the bathroom and gave her a towel so she could shower.

She bathe quickly and returned to his room with her clothes in her hands and dressed in his.

"Where do I put these"

"In the basket over there"

She put her clothes in the basket and went to lay on his bed. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, but stood up to get himself something to wear for bed.

"I'll be sleeping on the couch downstairs if you need anything"

"You have a big bed, I'm pretty sure there's room for both of us"

"Are you sure about this"

"Yes I'm sure, and your mom is in the other room. My goal is to impress her, not to have her think I'm some type of slut"

"Alright, I'll be back in about 10 minutes"

He took a shower and returned only to find her in the same spot. He went to lay next to her, leaving his bedroom door opened so his mother wouldn't get any ideas.

"Good night Shika"

"Good night Tem" He placed a kiss on her forehead and brought her body close to his where she began to snuggle into his chest. This was the first of many nights, that they would do this.

Temari fell asleep quickly, but Shikamaru was still awake watching her sleep peacefully. Yoshino must've thought they both were sleep, because Shikamaru saw her peek into his room with a huge grin on her face.

"Young love, I'm happy for both of them"

oooooooooo
