Chapter 4 : Here Comes Temari...
A minute later, Hinata regained consciousness and sat up. "N-Naruto-kun... I can't belive h-he... gave me... t-that note..." she took a deep breath and grabbed the paper again. "I have to read the rest of it..."
So, she gathered up her strength, and picked up the paper and read the rest of it. And she finished by mumbling, "N-Naruto-kun... dance... w-with...m-m-m..."
And once again, poor Hinata fainted.
As she lay on the ground, another gust of wind came, carrying the note from Hinata's unmoving hand, and travelled straight to a field of grass, where Shikamaru lay, napping. It landed softly on his stomach, and the wind died down, leaving the paper there.
It wasn't long till a blonde haired girl approached the snoozing genin. "Well, I can see you haven't changed."
That woke him up. Shikamaru slowly opened his lazy eyes, and then exclaimed, "What!"
Because there next to him was the kunoichi from Suna, Temari, leaning over him. In the gentle breeze, her ponytails waved slightly, like the grass around him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, a very annoyed expression on his face.
Temari smiled devilishly. "I heard about your little festival. This Saturday, right?"
Shikamaru's eyes widened. "Oh, no. You're going?"
"Why else would I travel all the way to Konoha? I love parties."
"Please don't tell me your brothers came," he groaned.
"Oh, they're here, alright."
In his head, Shikamaru said a word he would never say out loud. "Oh, man, you are so troublesome."
"And don't you forget it," Temari replied in a sassy way, putting a hand on her hip. "Oh, you got something on you."
Shikmaru looked down at his stomach and grabbed the piece of paper. "Hmph. Here. Take it." He held his arm out, paper in hand, to Temari.
"Why would I want it?" she asked.
"Just take it."
Temari shrugged and took it, then folded it and put it in the red sash around her waist. "I gotta go. See ya."
And with that she walked off, leaving Shikamaru to go back to sleep, mumbling, "Troublesome, troublesome..."

Hours later, Temari lay on her bed in an Inn in Konoha, positively bored. The window was open, and a strong wind was coming into the room. She looked outside at all the green leaves fluttering and twisting and turning and gliding through the air.
"Kinda pretty," she mumbled, sitting up a little on the bed to make herself more comfortable. As she did, she heard a little crackling sound coming from her sash.
"Oh, yeah, that stupid paper."
She pulled the paper out and unfolded it, curious as to what it could be. "Can't be anything special..." she said as she began to read, and as she did, her dark eyes grew wider and wider.
"NO WAY," she said, jaw dropped. "That... that... that lazy guy... he..." Temari blinked, then softly chortled to herself. Soon, it became a loud giggle, and then hearty laughing. And then she stopped.
"He is kinda cute..." she muttered. Slowly, she began to realize what she'd just said.
And as a result, her brothers, her were in the next room, watching the television, wondered what the yelling coming from Temari's room was all about.
