Shikamaru ran to the Kazekage's mansion hoping that Gaara would be there, but instead the puppet master had opened the door.

"Look what the cat dragged in"

"I actually chose to come here"

"Where's my sister"

"At the apartment"

"So why are you here"

This is why Shikamaru hoped Gaara would open the door. He wanted to know ways to make Temari feel better, and he knew if he asked Kankuro, he would be hearing for the rest of his life how he doesn't know how to care for his sister. But now he had to swallow his pride and just ask for his help.

"I need to know ways to make Tem cheer up"

"So the genius doesn't have a solution"

"I do, and it's asking for your help"

"Why should I tell you"

"We could be doing other things, would that make you feel better"

"No! It would not. The less amount of time you're putting your nasty hands on her the better"

"So help me out"

"Fine, Let's hurry so you don't get caught in the storm"

They went in and Kankuro took him to a cabinet in the living room, which had a huge collection of VHS tapes. Shikamaru couldn't believe all the movies their were and they even had his favorites.

"Tema loves scary movies, but deep down inside she is a sucker for romance. With being the ambassador and all, she rarely has time to chill and relax"

Kankuro handed him a huge stack of movies that he was barely able to carry.

"And feel free to take some of your liking, the video store always drop new movies when they come in so we pretty much have anything"

Shikamaru picked about three movies and Kankuro watched him do so and once he had finished Kankuro escorted him to the door. Two seconds later, Shikamaru was completely shocked by Kankuro's action. 'Did he just hug me. Should I hug him back' Shikamaru awkwardly wrapped his arms around Kankuro because of the tapes in his hand and also because he wasn't sure what was happening.

"Listen Shikamaru,You really are a cool guy and you make my sister happy so therefore I have a reason to be cool with you. I don't like the fact that you're taking her away from me and because of that I'm going to still act like an asshole, just a small one until I get over that, then maybe we could act like brothers. Just don't hurt Tema and don't tell anyone about this. You got that"

"This will be between us"

"It better, now hurry up. The sirens been going off for a while"

Shikamaru hadn't noticed the sirens, maybe because he was in shock. But he was thankful for Kankuro's help and he knew that Kankuro actually saw him as Temari's boyfriend instead of some loser so that made him happy to get somewhat of an approval from him.

oooooooooo

Authors Note: So my mom made me look through the VHS tapes to organize them so it gave me the idea to write this. So I hope you guys enjoy and leave reviews and thanks for reading the story :)
