"It's not even—" the man in a black suit checks his wrist watch "24 hours since our last discussion and you got a wife" he looked at Temari.
The man in a black suit, Temari, and Shikamaru are seated in the living room of his apartment. Once they were married, he immediately called the man in a black suit.
Earlier that day, Temari and Shikamaru went to the city government office to get married. It will only take an hour to finish the ritual. Choji and Karui offered to be their witnesses. Although the marriage contract will release after a month or two so, they still need to wait to secure it and hand it to the man in a black suit.
"Yes, I believe we can now proceed to discuss my fortune?"
"Are you sure you are not being forced Ms. Temari Suba-" Before he proceeds with his statement Temari corrects him.
"Mrs. Temari Nara, and yes I am not forced"
The man in a black suit looked at her suspiciously and then move his head to Shikamaru. He is not convinced about the immediate marriage and suspects that Shikamaru did this just to get his fortune.
"I do believe it as well Mrs. Nara. Perhaps may I ask about how you guys met?"
As it may look like they are not prepared, Shikamaru planned earlier to create a fake love story in case the man in the black suit asks about their history.
Shikamaru looked at her and place a gentle yet fake smile on Temari and she return it with the same smile. They were acting as if they were both in love just to convince the man.
"Well, uhmm. We meet at one of our friends' parties and I saw the most beautiful girl in my life. My love, my heart, Temari" To become more effective, he grabs her hand and places a kiss. Temari smiles but cannot hide that she's cringing inside.
Temari continued the story and gaze into his eyes "He approached me and begged to be with him that night, I remember like it was yesterday" Shikamaru looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
"And when was this?"
They both said at the same time.
"2 years ago" Shikamaru
"Last year" Temari
They looked at each other and Shikamaru corrects it "It'll be two years ago next month my loves, right?"
"Oh I'm sorry, yeah next month. 2 years" Temari chuckles
The man in the black suit sighed heavily and proceed to discuss Shikamaru's parent's will.
"Alright, let's proceed" he opens his briefcase and gets the paper that holds the statement of his parent's will.
Temari and Shikamaru just stared at the man and wait for his announcement.
"Mr. Nara, since you've accomplished these conditions, you can now have the full rights to own these assets. First, the Nara Minka which includes the deer forest, basically the Nara village is all yours and you can check these blueprints to familiarize yourself with the area. Second, the apartments inside the Nara village are all yours that'll be a total of 5 buildings with 15 rooms each. Lastly, the money that your parents owned which totals 150 million yen is also yours, you can transfer it to your bank account once the marriage contract is released"
Temari's eyes widen as she heard 150 million yen and she immediately calculates in her brain the 30% of it. She will get around 45 million yen from that fortune which means she can pay the debt his ex-boyfriend owned from the Suna gang plus she can still have some money to survive. She's now more determined to fake this marriage.
"Alright, that's a set of-Wow, that's all mine?" Shikamaru asked
"It's all yours" The man in the black suit smiled at him. "But you can only have this after the marriage contract is released. You can claim all of it immediately but I need to remind you that someone will monitor you starting today to make sure that everything is genuine and legal" He coughs at the word genuine and legal, he's too formal to spill inappropriate statements. "Someone will visit you everyday to have some surveys and to check both of you. So please respond to the questions as honestly as possible"
"That'll be no problem. My love and I will stay here in my apartment before we moved to our Minka" Shikamaru smiled and looked at Temari.
Temari chuckles and pressed her elbow to his chest with an expression of the-fuck-is-your-problem-we-did-not-plan-that-one.
They ended the discussion and the couple waved their goodbyes to the man in the black suit. When the door was closed, Temari looked at Shikamaru with a cocked brow and a furious look.
"What the hell? I'm not going to stay here in your apartment!"
"Can you please understand our situation please?"
Temari shakes all her senses, her arms crossed her chest while breathing heavily. He is still a stranger and living with him scared her a little. She heard him mumble what a drag in his breath.
"Okay, just let's make rules" she nodded without looking at him "We'll act as if we're a married couple in your friends' eyes, the government's eyes, anyone…but I'll have my freedom and you'll have yours"
"Alright, that's easy" he said
"Second, I will not share a bed with you. No way..No way" She waved her hands in the air making a cross pattern with disgust on her face.
"We only have one bed Temari and there's no way I'm going to sleep on the couch. It's my apartment woman"
"Well" She grabbed a slim rope from his coffee table "Can I have this?"
"Yeah, what are you going to do with that?"
She walked to his queen size bed and wrap the slim rope from the headboard to the end of the bed, splitting it in half.
"I will sleep on the left and you on the right. Do you see that line? If you cross that line, Nara, I'm going to kill you"
"Troublesome" He rolled his eyes and exhales; his face is visibly irritated. "Can I make the third rule?"
"Sure" She looked at him with a titled head and intimidating look.
"After a year we're getting a divorce"
"You read my mind" She chuckled
