In The Rain Chapter IV: Conversations

She then, again slept at her bed. Shikamaru felt sorry for all of these things. But even it happened, he is also alright because he feels that she was also taking care of him. Then he felt her cold, and putted a blanket on her. But when he again fall asleep, Temari again woke up and saw him freezing. So she made a technique that can make his heat temperature normal. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So she made a technique that can make his heat temperature normal.

Shikamaru again woke up, but confused when he noticed that it can't be Temari, cause she is taking a sleep. He then, saw a cat with a bag of medicine. He then took it and gave it to himself and to Temari when she woke up.

"So it's still raining." he said.

"You can stay here until the rain stop." she told to Shikamaru while looking at the window.

"Oh my, Thanks for all." he replied

But when Kankuro heard the news, he knew that the rain will still come in days, or maybe in two months, it will stop but will come and come until in the second month it will ends. But it was already hot that day and they decided to take a training. So when night came, Shikamaru doesn't know where to sleep. But when it comes to Kankuro's room, he said that he is sorry because he was lazy and his room was dirty. No way when it goes to Gaara's room. Their sure of what outcome will happen if he will stay and sleep there. Like at the living room, only less than Kankuro's room. So the only room left was at Temari's. The problem is, there are no any blankets or bed sheets he can use to sleep on!So Temari decided to let him sleep at her bed. But the condition is, they must look at the other side of the bed to avoid some unnecessary events. But...

"...!" something happened even they wanted to avoid it! They did not noticed that their lips are again TOGETHER AGAIN ACCIDENTALLY! So they quickly disconnected their lips and of course...

"I'm...I'm so sorry" said the two blushing ninjas

A cat told Kankuro on what happened and he looked at Temari's room and found out that it seems that they are beginning to be numb again.

"Hihihihi...you clever cat..." he told to the cat secretly

When they are about to eat, Kankuro gave Temari a letter. It's an invitation to the reunion of all classes of ninjas. Then he left both of them. Shikamaru, noticed that it's so silent at the dining room.

"Temari, if you knew a person likes you, how do you react?" Shikamaru asked to the real Temari

"It always depends on what you feel. Why are you asking?" She answered with a question

"Nothing. Can you tell me some of your secrets? I won't tell it to anyone. Trust me." he told to her

"I'm so sorry. But a word for me can tell all...A word for me means all...A word can tell and reveal all of my deepest secrets."she told to him with her eyes direction on her meal

"What if I like y...I mean her?(oh my, so close!)" he said carefully, even he was to say is "you"

"Of course, she can be also happy." she answered, ready to like the topic of their conversations

"Do you think how she'll react if I told her that I loved her?" he replied back

"Like my answer, it depends. Maybe if she doesn't like you, she will always tease you secretly on everything you do. But if she likes you, she might be surprised and be happy. Some prove it, some do not face he truth that they like you...People are so rude..." Temari answered, unsure if she is the girl that Shikamaru says.
Shikamaru, saw her face wearing a sad frown on their conversations and asked why her expression was like that.

"It's because I had the same feeling as yours. I didn't know if he loved me, but it looks like I wanted to stop this feeling. But after On what I had learned from myself, looks like I can't do what I am planning--to stop my feelings." She said hushly

"But how can you prove to yourself that you almost loved a person?" he again asked.

"It is if you wanted to take care of her always. For you, she's your life. You want to seek for her in seconds when she's not beside you. If she touches you, looks like your going to a crazy ride. And, if you wanted to kiss her on her lips." she cutted and she spoke on her mind: "Looks like I loved my secret. Like I loved him." she then blushed. Guidely with her bangs covering her face.

"Oh my, seems I loved her more than anything." he said to himself

After a few seconds of silence, Kankuro entered the dining room.

"Hey you two now have your own conversations after you dad been together in bed! Had you made a baby? And can I join in?" silly Kankuro said loudly

Temari, getting irritated to him, caught her fan and striked him on his back.

"Respect who were eating." she said with a slight anger on her face.

"Oh my, these two are real siblings? or real enemies?" he said to himself and chuckled.

"Kankuro, clean the table and wash the dishes!" she commanded. While the chuckling Shikamaru, started to laugh.

While having free time, she decided to not to sit but to clean the house. Of course, Shikamaru volunteered to help. When cleaning the kitchen, she accidentally slipped on a banana peel that Kankuro had left.

"Ouch! My back hurts!" said quietly even it looks like she is dying in pain.

When Shikamaru heard something in the kitchen, he quickly got there and saw Temari, hands on her back.

"Come on. Grab my hand." he said, while lending his hands to her

"Thanks." said the blushing Temari, Holding his hands to help her stand.

Temari decided to take a bath after cleaning. Shikamaru, saw her hair unponied, said to himself that it seems that she is more beautiful even she is dirty. When Temari faced the mirror, she said to herself that all she had said to him was happening to her. On the other hand, Shikamaru, lost her on his sight and saw the bathroom light open. So he got to Temari's room, and again looked for her slumbook and even greater thing he saw on what had been written: I love this guy, I like him more than my life." then he saw another clue: --i------. He then, putted it on the same place and got out of the room. Then Temari noticed that her door was opened. She then, hid Shikamaru's pictures at her secret hide out and again wrote at her slumbook: I hope that -----m--- won't be able to remember all on what he saw at my desk. I know! I must put him a code name..Maybe...maybe RAIN suits him because, he was there to save me when I am almost dying IN THE RAIN... Then, she hid it to her hide out and quickly got to the backyard.

Shikamaru, again saw her at the backyard, practicing the summoning Technique to test on how their communication works. Hair unponied, she decided to let her summoned animal go and get out to get her pony tales. Then she accidentally bumped from Shikamaru's body, and he said the "accidental words" that came out from his mouth. "Can I go with you in the reunion party?" he said with a shocked face

"Huh?" Temari answered, still twisted on what he had said "Can I go with you in the reunion party?" he again said
