Shikamaru and Temari were not the only people Kakashi had requested to see. Naruto, Choji, Kiba,Sai and the rest of the Konoha eleven were there, along with Kankuro.

And everyone looked like they had a rough night, gripping there forehead, trying to mitigate the headache that came along with a hangover. Shikamaru, was in no means in the best shape. He felt a couple of the effects, but not to the degree of most of the people there.

"I'm glad that you all could make it sober, after last night's lively celebration." Everyone could tell Kakashi had a sly smirk under that mask, which made everyone groan.

"You guys look great, it must've been a fun event."

"Why is that?" Sai, was still sometimes oblivious to sarcasm. And truly wanted to know the answer.

"Well first my trusty, smart advisor got into a bar fight, then the supposedly next Hokage was passed out, many of you were. Now I could be an ass and assign all of you a mission right now, or let each of you have the day off-" His hands were folded on the desk, and he scanned the room of dreaded and embarrassed faces. Which only added to his amusement of seeing them suffer.

"Please, Kakashi Sensei. Let us have the day off. We're suffering enough as it-" Naruto came forth with the loud, whining voice they were used to hearing. Smashing his hands on Kakashi's desk.

"You're lucky I'm such a nice person. Tomorrow expect a lot of work. All of you are dismissed. Except Shikamaru, I need to talk to you." He heard the silent 'oohs' and giggles like he was back at the academy getting in trouble as everyone walked out the room.

"Women make men do crazy things, don't they?" Kakashi asked Shikamaru, who tried to dodge the question by looking away.

"Huh?"

"I already got the invite to Miro and Temari's wedding. And I've seen you put actual effort into only a few things, including your relationship with Temari. You weren't going to just let him have her, but I never expected you to give him a black eye and bloody nose"

"I know it was irresponsible of me, with my position and all. I should have handled it better-" Shikamaru didn't regret last night, but he did fear that he left a bad impression on the Hokage. And was now doing his best to justify himself, but Kakashi put his hand up, letting Shikamaru know that he doesn't have to explain anything to him.

"I'm not upset, and you don't have to apologize. Every tactic you have provided me with has been solid, I'm sure this one was too." This was Kakashi talk for 'He deserved what he got' so Shikamaru was thankful that nothing bad came out this situation. Yet. "Doi and Gaara had requested a meeting and I have a hunch that it would be beneficial if you were here to attend it."

"If you think that's what best, then it's fine by me." He took a deep breath in, feeling that this was not going to go over well, but he was going to do anything so their relationship could continue.

oooooooooo

Temari and Kankuro waited outside the office while Shikamaru stayed and talked to Kakashi. Temari was there to make sure Shikamaru would be okay and Kankuro was there to make sure Temari was fine.

"How's Shikamaru holding up?" Kankuro was leaning on the wall across from his sister, actually interested in how he was feeling.

"Last night he was iffy, but he seems better this morning" Temari said, hoping that this really was the case.

"Where'd you guys go last night, because I vaguely remember the guys heading to his apartment, and you guys weren't there."

"If you must know, we were at our house." She didn't hesitate to say it, in fact it felt right saying it, that a smile crept on to her face.

"He finally showed you."

"Yea"

"So are you-"

"I am moving, I don't know exactly when though."

"Why can't he move to Suna?"

"He offered, but I told him Konoha would just make more sense."

"Why?"

"I'm not changing my mind-" She was starting to get frustrated with her brother because he was acting so immature. They are very close and she felt that she wasn't getting the support she needed from him.

Just then Gaara, Doi, Miro and his father walked passed. And she seen how the liquor plus the fight made him look completely terrible.

"Temari, Kankuro, we have to meet with Kakashi."

oooooooooo
