After the war, Kakashi decided to finish building the shopping district that was once abandoned and now it was a huge outlet mall. Today was it's grand opening, so the girls decided to go early to avoid huge crowds, but that didn't help.

"Let's go get some lingerie!" Ino squealed, already taking off before any of the girls could object. So Sakura,Tenten,Hinata, and Temari followed her. This store was in the back, so many haven't made their way to it. When the girls arrived, they seen how huge it was and all the choices they had to choose from.

"So why did you choose this store, Ino" Sakura asked looking through the underwear having already chosen some.

"You know, I have to look good for Sai"

"Are you guys sleeping together already"

"Well Sakura, if you really want to know, Yea we are"

"And You didn't tell me"

"This is the first time we all met up, I was going to tell you eventually"

Ino then explained to everyone about her relations with Sai, which made Temari wonder if her and Shikamaru were ready to take that big step in their relationship. Just in case whenever they decide to do it, Temari bought some normal underwear, and some sexy lingerie. The girls purchased their stuff and most of the girls spent no more than 3000 ryo at this store except Ino who spent 10000.

"Why did you spend so much on underwear, you do realize that we have other stores to go to" Tenten asked them while they were walking to the clothes store they all agreed on.

"I told you, I have to look good for Sai"

"You are too much sometimes" They started laughing together. In the store, most of the girls picked out casual wear. Temari noticed how the girls picked out a couple of revealing outfits, so she picked up some too.

"Temari getting sexy for Shikamaru" Tenten teased.

"No! Just something for me, you guys can't have all the fun"

Temari was enjoying herself, she was never able to enjoy the luxury of shopping with her friends. She was happy that after the war, she was able to become close with the girls from Konoha. She actually felt like she had friends for the first time in her life.

After the girls finished shopping, they went to a restaurant to eat and talk. "Sooo, Hinata how's the married life" Ino said, trying to break the ice.

"It's good, Naruto's been really nice and helpful"

"That's good, I can't believe he's changed so much"

"I know" Sakura interjected.

"So Sakura, How has you and Sasuke been"

She blushed, she had seen Sasuke once since the war, which was after the wedding. The last time she'd seen him they shared an intimate moment. She wasn't ashamed because she assumed all the girls at the table had sex at least once.

"Why are you blushing"

"I'm not, blushing"

"What happened between you and Sasuke"

"We did it, okay"

"OMG, I knew it"

"Can we change the subject"

"Fine. Temari, how are you and Shikamaru doing"

"Good I guess"

"What do you mean by good. Like good in bed good"

"Do you only talk about sex Ino"

"I was just curious, but I'll change the topic if you like"

"That would be nice"

The rest of the meal, they just talked about the things they bought and how their lives were going. Temari continued to focus on sex, she thought they were ready. She was on the pill already because it made her periods lighter which was beneficial for missions. 'I'm stressing over this for no reason. It will happen eventually' It was now night and the girls finished and said goodbye to each other. Temari took the time to buy the rest of the things she needed like soap, lotion and feminine products before heading back to the house.

She opened the door and saw Shikamaru reading some scrolls. She became flustered, he was on the couch with his shirt off, hair down and the fact that his goatee had finally grown in made in hard for her to stop thinking about sex.

He noticed that she had about ten bags. He never known her to be the shopping type, but her coming back with all these things tells him otherwise.

"Let me help you"

"No!"

"I'm not going to look in them, if that's what you're worried about."

When she tried to object, he had already grabbed all the bags and brought them in his room.

"These three are you're drawers, if you need more space, let me know"

"It's plenty of space" She waited for him leave so she could put her clothes away, but he continued to stare at the bags, wanting to know what was inside.

"You can leave"

"This is my room"

"Get out Shikamaru!"

"Fine troublesome woman"

She quickly placed everything in her drawers, then headed to the bathroom. She placed her soap with his, but felt weary of placing her pads and tampons in the bathroom, so she hid them. She quickly put on some night clothes on and went to sit next to Shikamaru. He noticed that she had on a black tank top that revealed tons of cleavage, and soft purple pants.

This drove him crazy. Every time him and the guys hung out, they always explained their sex experiences. He liked Temari, in fact he loved her. He believed he was ready but he would never pressure her into doing anything that she was uncomfortable with.

"Shika, do you ever think about sex"

"Huh, what type of question is that"

"Be honest"

"Yea, what man wouldn't"

"Do you think we're ready"

"What happened today"

"Nothing"

"Temari, something happened when you went shopping. Now can you please tell me"

"Well all the girls were talking about having sex, and they're younger than me with more experience."

"Tem, If you want to wait, we'll wait. I'm not going anywhere and neither are you"

"I guess you're right"

"I'm always right"

"You don't have to be so cocky, asshole"

"You're right Tem"

"I'm always right"

"Geez woman"

oooooooooo
