Guys, I lied. I'm sorry.

ONE MORE CHAPTER! After this, that is.


" Hah, we found her!" Kankurou , grinning like there was no tomorrow, gave Gaara a punch on his shoulder. Gaara glared at him. Kankurou stopped grinning.

" Yes, so anyways," Kankurou nervously laughed and brought his hand up to his head," Temari is here. No doubt she will be making chocolates all day. So, we need to find that Shikamaru dude, see if he's good enough for our big sis, and set them up on a date!"

" ...Right.." Gaara left the apartment building.

" Hey, wait up ,Bro!" Kankurou sped after him. "I have an idea!"

" Imagine that." Gaara said.

" Hey!" Kankurou pouted," It's a good idea."

Gaara sighed," What is it?"

Kankurou jumped up, " We go find someone who knows where Shikamaru lives!"

" You are a moron," Gaara walked ahead of him.

" It's a good plan, right?" Kankurou stepped faster.

" ...Here, turn here." Gaara walked up to a house. " Knock on the door, fool." he said to Kankurou.

" Uh, right." Kankurou knocked on the door.

Silence.

He knocked again.

More silence.

He knocked yet again.

" KANKUROU! MOVE!" Gaara shoved Kankurou out of the way and knocked on the door.

" -munch- Hi," A fat, excuse me, chubby teenager opened the door.

" Hi! I'm Kankurou and this is my little, yes little, brother, Gaara!" Kankurou said as he jumped up from the ground.

" Uh, -munch- yeah hi. I'm Chouji .What do -munch munch- you want?' Chouji asked as he ate something.

" Do you know where...-" Kankurou's sentence was cut short.

" -Nara Shikamaru.-" Gaara said as he was cut off by Kankurou.

" -lives?" Kankurou cowered as Gaara punched him.

" Yeah, -munch- what do you want -munch- with him?" Chouji ate potato chips, it seemed.

" TELL ME WHERE HE LIVES!" Gaara's eyes turned red.

" Hey, chill bro!" Kankurou put his hand on Gaara's head.

" Uh..." Chouji was frightened. " 138 Leaf Drive! Turn right on the next street and left on Walnut Boulavard!" He ran inside.

" That was easy." Gaara said as he walked past Kankurou and to the sidewalk.

" Yeah, heh heh.." Kankurou followed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" It's Valentines Day!" Temari jumped out of the bed. " Oh, chocolates! I need to make chocolates! WHY DIDN'T I BRING CHOCOLATES?" She sped around the room trying to brush her hair and get dressed.

When finally done, she walked out of her room and practically ran outside. She looked around her, hoping to catch glimpse of a shop. She saw a Valentines shop and ran inside it.

She came back out with bags of chocolate ingrediants, pots, and pans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shikamaru woke up. What woke him up? His mother's loud voice.

" SHIKA, DARLING! YOU HAVE VISITORS!"

" How. Troublesome." He groggily got out of the bed, still in his boxer shorts and white shirt, and made his way downstairs.

" Unacceptable! Go upstairs and get changed!" yelled his mother as he was half way down the stairs. He sighed and glanced at the door. There he saw a laughing Kankurou and a grinning, evilly at that, Gaara.

" Gah, troublesome..." He walked upstairs, changed into his regular clothes. and walked back down stairs.

" Thank you, mother." Shikamaru walked past her and out the door. He closed the door behind him and faced the two.

" Hey, Gaara, now I remember him!" Kankurou whispered to Gaara," He's that dude in the Chuunin exams who lost to Temari."

Gaara nodded his head. He stared at Shikamaru. Shikamaru stared back. They continued staring at each other until Gaara nodded his head again.

He walked away and Kankurou followed, " Bye , Dude!" he yelled over his back to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru walked back into the house, feeling like something had happened. Yet, he didn't know what. He merley shrugged his shoulders and headed back upstairs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, Yeah that's to a Miss. Temari, room number 678." Kankurou said stiffling laughter. He gave the flowers to the bellboy and and walked out of the hotel apartment buildng.Kankurou walked towards the bus stop near the opening of the apartment buildings, where Gaara was standing waiting for him.

" How'd it go?.." Gaara asked , turning towards him.

" Let's just say Temari has a meeting tonight with Mr. Shikamaru..." he answered grinning.

" Good," said Gaara, holding another bouquet of flowers," Let's drop this off at his house." And with that they walked away

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Well, I guess that's good enough," Temari said as she looked at the chocolates she had made at the kitchen of her apartment," Considering only Kankurou and Gaara are getting some..."

Knock Knock " A gift for a Miss. Temari?"

" I wonder who would give me a gift...let alone know where I am." She opened her apartment door and a bellboy gave her a bouquet of flowers and a note.

She closed the door and looked at the note. It read,

" Dear Temari, I have always loved you ever since I first met you. If you would me tonight at eight at the Konoha bridge near the academy, I will give you a present.

From- Your secret admierer."

" What..WHAT THE HECK!" Temari dropped the flowers and the card. " A SECRET ADMIRER?"

Temari looked at her watch, " AH! IT'S ALREADY EIGHT!" She sped out the door.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Quickly, Kankurou!" Gaara whispered urgently as Kankurou sped up the steps to the Nara's front door. Gaara himself was hiding behind a bush in the front lawn. Kankurou rang the doorbell, dropped a package, and ran away.

Gaara followed.


I'm so freakin' sorry! I feel so ashamed! It took me so long to get my lazy butt off the couch and write this! And I'm sorry for lying. Just be happy there's gonna be another chapter.
