Suna was still quiet. The only people that were out were the vendors that sold various produce, some of which were only found in Suna. Shikamaru made a mental note to stop and buy some later, hopefully after him and Temari talked about their situation.

Temari hated the awkward silence that stood between them as they made their way home, but there was nothing that would make her give in first. She wasn't completely sure why she was upset. Was it fact that he smoked weed or that he hid something from her. 'I never asked, and he didn't hesitate about telling the truth. Maybe I should just start some conversation to let him know that I'm not mad. NO! It's his fault Temari'

Every once in a while she would glace back at him to make sure he didn't leave. She knew the sudden decision to stay in Suna, already put a strain on his thought process, making him think that their relationship was coming to an end. But that was far from the case, she loved this man for some odd reason and wouldn't let anything ruin their relationship.

Shikamaru was thinking about ways to make it up to her. He tried coming up with something but, her choice to stay in Suna hindered his thoughts. 'A nice date to a fancy restaurant would get her talking to me again. She's never been into glitz and glamor. She really enjoys rain and stars. So a picnic under the stars. Damn it, we have that dinner with her brothers. Come on Shikamaru think of something'

They finally made it to the apartment, which was quiet like the rest of the village. Temari was headed up when she noticed Shikamaru stopped following her. "I'll be up in a little bit"

She didn't even take the time to give him a reply. Instead she just went to her apartment, while anger rose from her body, and he could tell from her death stare that, that comment just pissed her off more.

He wasn't going to do anything but smoke a cigarette, so he did that and thought it would be best to let her cool down. 'Women are such a drag, but I guess this is what I was getting myself into when I asked her out on a date.' Shikamaru chuckled to himself because he didn't feel it was a bad thing, instead being with Temari gave him a new outlook on life, that made him love being with her. 'I guess it's time to go apologize'

While Shikamaru was outside, Temari was inside preparing breakfast for him, 'Good thing I grabbed somethings from the mansion this morning' She was making his favorite, exactly how he liked it: Scrambled eggs, toast with butter, a bowl of Froot Loops and a cup of black coffee. At first It was a weird combination, but as she gotten used to making it, it became normal. 'I find it weird how someone who was considered mature for his age enjoys Froot Loops, he could be such a child at times'

She heard the door open and instead of leaving the kitchen, she simply turned to the sink and pretended to wash the dishes. Out of the corner of her eye she seen him walk to the kitchen, but instead of hearing a chair being pulled out, she felt two arms wrap around her waist.

"I know you're not washing dishes" Temari's face instantly went pink as she heard his husky voice in her ear.

"Tem, I just want to apologize. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just hope this doesn't ruin our vacation"

They continued to stay in that position until she began to speak.

"I'm not mad about that, I was mad because I feel that we don't really know anything about each other"

"You made my favorite breakfast, and I never explicitly told you what it was . I know your favorite color is purple, you enjoy gardening, you love chestnuts, and the reason you use a tessen is because your mom had a miniature one that your dad bought her. I know a lot more than that and I'm pretty sure you know the same things about me"

"Well your favorite color is green, your favorite food is mackerel, you love cloud watching but everyone knows that."

As she was talking, his lips made their way to her neck, because he knew kissing her there would make it hard to resist him. He began to whisper in her ear in that voice she loved. "Then tell me something only you know"

Once the coolness of his breath hit her ear, it was like a dam broke, but she had to resist him even though he was tempting.

"You have to sleep with the window open, the spot behind your ear is your favorite placed to be kissed"

She continued to talk as his hands reach for the sash around her waist, but he couldn't get it off before her hands gripped his wrist.

"Keep it in your pants Nara"

"Fine" He stepped back and she turned to look him. "As long as you're talking to me again, I guess my urges can wait"

"Good, well I'm about to hop in the shower. We're leaving out at twelve so finish eating so you can get a couple more hours of sleep"

oooooooooo
