Chapter 11: Her Lovely Lady Lumps
FFF Townhouse …
Sakura and Hinata were sitting on the living room sofa watching "Adventure Time with Finn & Jake" when Ino suddenly stepped in sipping a Frappuccino.
"Hello ladies," the perky blonde said happily as she glanced at the 53 inch TV screen. "Watching kiddie shows again I see."
"Hey, it's better than the crap you see on TV nowadays. " Hinata mumbled not even bothering to look at Ino. "I'd rather a cartoon about a boy and a dog going on unrealistic adventures than watch a reality show about rich, bratty adults who act a damn fool. If I wanted to see that I'd go to my family reunion."
"Besides LSP is the shit." Sakura added in excitedly. "By the way, did you get anywhere with Mr. Akimichi or should I say Akimunchi." Sakura and Hinata burst out laughing.
"Haha very funny Pinky and the Brain, but my meeting with him went pretty well. Actually, it went excellent; I have him wrapped around my little finger." Ino sat on the loveseat across from the giggling pair and placed her beverage on the coffee table. She exuded the utmost confidence.
"Ooohhhh…" the dynamic duo said looking at each other feigning surprise when Hinata spoke up. "What is he like?"
"Oh he's cute, funny, and very innocent. I'll have some fun playing with him. But on the downside, he has this annoying friend who didn't seem to appreciate my bubbly personality." She continued on even though she could practically feel Sakura and Hinata roll their eyes. "I believe his name was Shikamaru maybe?"
"Shikamaru? Hey Hina, isn't that the name of the guy the Temari is supposed to hit?"
"Yeah, Sakura I believe so."
"Speaking of Temari where is she? I haven't seen her or Tenten since I got home." Ino started to look around the room.
"Oh she and Tenny went out about an hour ago to do some shopping. In fact," Hinata glanced at her wristwatch. "They should be home right about now." Then the three of them heard the front door open and close followed by a pattern of footsteps. Within a matter of seconds, Tenten and Temari walked into the living room with their hands filled with shopping bags. Tenten was wearing an Abercrombie and Fitch sweatsuit paired with some Nike's while Temari settled on a little black dress with pumps.
"Speak of the She-Devil and she appears." Ino murmured. "So how was your shopping venture ladies? Pick up anything sexy?"
"If by sexy you mean work clothes then yes." Temari sat her bags on the floor and obviously looked exhausted. "You wouldn't believe the sales we found today." She then turned to Ino and asked her about her mission today to which Ino told her everything including the part about Choji's rude friend. When Temari heard Shikamaru's name, her face suddenly perked up.
"Shikamaru? Was he kinda tall? Has a lazy demeanor and wears a ponytail."
"Yep that's the guy. He seems like an ass." Ino said puffing out her cheeks.
"Ass or not that's the man who I am supposed to seduce for my mission. In fact, I am seeing him first thing tomorrow morning as his new personal assistant." Everyone in the room gasped.
"You're going to be working under him?" Ino squawked. "Don't you think that's a little dicey?"
"Dicey? Give me a break. It wouldn't be the first time that one of us has pulled an inside job. Plus, I know what I'm doing."
Hinata started to shift uncomfortably. "Do you think that you will be able to pull this off?" All eyes averted to her direction. "I mean don't get me wrong, I don't doubt your skills as a seducer at all, but you're talking about working under this man. then making him love with you after that. What if he is not into you? He could shoot you down and then be even warier of you."
All of the girls in the room looked at each other as they pondered the Hyuuga's claim. If Shikamaru rejected Temari's advances and found her out on top of that then that could mean trouble for the rest of them. To be perfectly honest, that was the same thing that happened to them back in Paris when that jewel broker found out the Misa Noah, the fake name that Tenten had given to him, had died in a car accident two months prior to their relationship. It all fell to pieces after that. After three weeks of running from the cops, they had finally gotten them off their asses. However, the girls had just gotten lucky that time and after that incident, Temari said that there could be no more room for screw-ups.
While all of the lovely ladies were heavily in deep thought their sandy-haired leader cleared her throat, politely asking for their attention. Her wish fell on noble ears as they snapped their heads towards Temari waiting to hear her rebuttal.
"While I do appreciate your concern Hinata there is no reason for you to be nervous for I have dealt with Shikamaru before and let's just say that the best thing he does is mix business with pleasure. I know that there are major risks involved but I am willing to take them not only for the benefit of this team but also to redeem my own vitality. Besides, I will be extra cautious as I am going to go through a little change before leaving out in the morning. " With that last remark, Temari winked on picked up her bags to leave the room. Once she was out of earshot, Ino took it upon herself to snort as cross her legs brusquely and picked up her Frappuccino to sip it before it became lukewarm. She let the succulent Carmel flavor slide down her throat to wet her whistle before she spoke in a solemn tone.
"I just hope that bitch doesn't screw this one up for us. I have gained too much pride for myself to go back to the Red Light District." Ino held her head high as she exited the room to go lay down saying she had a major headache.
"Thank God she left I thought she was going to off on her usual tirade." breathed Sakura as she began watching TV once more. The ex-Hyuuga heiress still looked uneasy still thinking the mission was a bad idea. Her brunette friend sat on the arm of the sofa beside Hinata and started to play with her indigo hair to soothe her doubts.
"Don't worry Hinata 'Mari knows what she's doing. She would never do anything that would jeopardize any of us. Just have faith in yourself that she's doing what's best for us." Hinata smiled a reassuring smile as she glanced up at her beautiful friend.
"Thanks Tenny, I needed that. Still," something still seemed to be bothering the curvy beauty, "there is something that doesn't add up, and it's about Naruto."
Tenten raised a chocolate eyebrow. "Oh really? What is it?"
"The data in Naruto's file states that he was raised by Jiraiya and Tsunade. Is that the same woman who founded the FFF because if that were true then that wouldn't that mean that I would be swindling money from her son?" Hinata's brain started to pulse as she pondered the ironic concept.
"Don't worry about that it was just a misprint. When I was doing some research on my mystery artist I discovered a few interesting facts about your man as well. First of all, he was raised by Jiraiya and a woman named Tsunami who was the girlfriend of Jiraiya at the time. When Naruto was five years old Jiraiya broke up with her after he found out that Tsunami had cheated on him with another man and was pregnant with his child. Despite her efforts to stay in contact for Naruto's sake Jiraiya would have nothing to do with her. Neither he nor Naruto has seen her in years."
It sounds like his life has been pretty tough. I guess he didn't have a fairytale upbringing after all. Hinata thought as she stared at the flat screen which displayed LSP singing a song about her lumps. Tenten touched her shoulder.
"Hey, you're not getting second thoughts are you?"
"Of course not never."
"O.M.G! Will you two shut up! This is my favorite part!" the pinkette snarled who was hell-bent on finishing the episode in peace.
All the dark-haired pair could do was smirk as they started singing the "These Lumps" tune to themselves much to Sakura's dismay.
The next morning…
Hinata, Ino, Sakura, and Tenten were all sitting around the breakfast table eating some of Tenten's famous flapjacks and making casual talk. Ino was yammering on about how the cops raided the coffee shop yesterday to arrest this girl who was apparently a major counterfeiter of designer bags.
"I was so scared that I ninja jumped over the banister to hide in the bushes. You don't know how relieved I was to see the cops haul that girl away. She was very pretty though."
While all the girls laughed at Ino's incredulous tale, their moment was interrupted by the sound of heels clicking against the floor. As they all turned to their heads, all of their mouths dropped except Tenten who wore a simple smirk. There is the living flesh was a drop dead gorgeous yet highly sophisticated looking Temari. She was wearing a white button-up shirt tucked into a black high waisted skirt that went to her knees. Black four inch BCBG pumps graced her feet as she seemed to skate across the floor over to the table to receive even more attention. Hinata couldn't keep her eyes off Temari as she noticed what really made the outfit pop. She couldn't tear her eyes away from her painted ruby red lips or her newly died locks. Temari now had black hair that was pulled back into a bun with some forward bangs giving her an edgy look.
Having tired of the stares Temari adjusted her new Kate Spade glasses and glanced over everyone.
"Well are you guys gonna gaze at me all morning or are you gonna give me an effing compliment?"
"Wow…" Sakura swooned dreamily. "You look like a major sexy secretary combined with the essence of Scarlet Johansson. In other words, I am one jealous bitch right now." Hinata and Ino nodded their heads in approval.
"I told you it was a good idea to go with black." Tenten teased Temari. Said woman smiled and made a mental note to always make Tenten her personal stylist. Temari never knew that such a tomboy could ever pick out such a tasteful yet alluring business wardrobe. They were definitely taking more shopping trips in the future. Walking over to the table to grab her purse she heard a car pull up and bid her friends farewell as her ride had come.
"Farewell ladies, I will see this evening when I get off work."
"Good luck!" everyone except Ino cheered in unison.
"Try not to get fired on the first day for screwing your boss on his office table." The peppy blondes shouted out mischievously.
Halfway out the door Temari flipped her off and departed the townhouse shutting the door behind her.
That dumb blonde is something else. With that last thought, the FFF leader made her way to the black mustang that was parked in the driveway and hopped into the passenger side. Buckling her seatbelt, she could feel the driver's, a FFF liaison, silent appraisal over her outfit.
"Don't you think you should've have opted for a more sophisticated look." said the honey blonde wearing a plain black pantsuit.
"Then where would be the fun in that?" said Temari adjusting a button that had come undone on her blouse. All the blonde could do was sigh as she backed out of the driveway and drove towards their destination.
15 minutes later…
The Mustang pulled into the parking lot of the Shadow Division Company and the two FFF members exited the vehicle while confidently strutting their way up the steps into the company. The inside if the building looked like your typical upscale business with marble floors and fancy paintings. As they made their way to the lobby area the blonder of the two went to ask the red-headed secretary if Mr. Nara was in. She politely replied that he was in his office. Looking around the professionally dressed woman, the secretary couldn't help but notice the exquisite brunette that stood behind her. She pulled the taller woman down to whisper in her ear.
"Hey who's the new girl, Shiho?"
"Oh her, Chiharu? That's just Mr. Nara's new assistant."
"Assistant? What is she hoping to assist? The zipper on his pants?"
Shiho quietly berated the young girl for being rude and told Temari to follow her to the elevator. The sexy brunette followed her giving the trifling secretary a "bite me bitch" stare as she followed Shiho down to the elevator. All Chiharu did was roll her eyes and pulled out a nail file to work on a chipped nail.
Meanwhile, Shiho held the door for Temari who quickly slid into the elevator. Pressing the button for the 16th floor the two stood in silence for part of the ride until Temari broke the silence.
"That secretary's a bitch."
"Eh she means well. I thought she was annoying too the first time I met her, but she kind of grows on you after a while." Temari snorted and was about to make a negative comment until they reached their stop. The elevator opened to a classy office that looked like it was straight out of Forbes magazine. Temari let her heels glide across the carpet as she followed Shiho's lead. The blonde walked across the office to the back where a huge mahogany desk was located. Next to the desk, the brunette noticed a smaller bureau covered in papers. When they pair same to a stop, Temari saw a softly snoring, sleeping figure that had a head down on what seemed like an important document. Lazy as ever I see.
Shiho rolled her eyes. Man, this boy is hopeless. Grabbing a bull horn out of the inside of her jacket, the spectacled woman strolled around the desk to the sleeping Nara and placed the horn to his ear. Plugging her left ear, she pressed the bright red button on the device which made an incredibly loud sound. Temari almost wet her panties as she tried to keep her laughter down by covering her mouth when she saw Shikamaru's immediate reaction. The poor man jumped out of his skin as fell on the office floor holding his right ear in pain. Swiftly, Shiho ran around the desk to be at Temari's side and tucked to bullhorn back into its original place as she waited for the last man to compose. Crawling back into his chair the very unhappy Nara sat up straight and gave the now grinning blonde a death glare.
"If you EVER do that again, consider your job history."
Yeah yeah you say that every time. "Please accept my apologies Mr. Nara but I felt that it was my duty to wake you up and inform you that the assistant you requested has arrived." Shiho motioned her hand to Temari who immediately started wiping tears out of her eyes and adjusted her glasses. She presented herself in a professional manner when she saw that Shikamaru was looking over her with a confused expression.
"I don't remember asking for an assistant. Explain Shiho."
"Oh but don't you remember last week, sir? You were up to your elbows in paperwork and demanded something to be done about. So, you requested me to handle the situation."
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "By that I meant actually do the paper work, not hire someone else to do it. That's just wasting more money."
A nerve mark appeared on her left temple. You would think that, cheap ass, trying to get me to do everything. One person can only do so much, that's why we're so understaffed around here. Trying to keep a pleasant smile Shiho said, "But sir, I have already hired her and trust me Miss Akeboshi here is more than qualified to help you with your demanding job. Give it one week and she will have you up to speed."
"Well I guess I have no choice. This is so troublesome." Shikamaru grunted rolling his eyes.
"I'm glad you agree, sir. Now if you two will excuse me, I have to go file some papers for Shikaku-sama." Turning on her heel, Shiho gave Temari a wink and left out of the office. As soon as the elevator closed leaving her all alone with the Nara, Temari thought that it was finally time to break the ice.
"So Mr. Nara what would you like me to do."
"Well for starters I guess you can start by organizing that disaster over there." He said pointing to the smaller desk. After setting her purse and the windowsill behind it, Temari bent over and started to pick up a few papers. The female's painted lips smiled as she could feel the man's eyes checking out her delicious derriere. After five minutes she stood up fixing her skirt and walked behind her new office space and began to get to work. As she glanced over some of the documents she noticed that quotes a few of them were outdated and completely useless.
"Excuse Mr. Nara."
"Yes?" Shikamaru said not even bothering to look up from his laptop. "What is it?"
"Is there a paper shredder that I could use?"
"Um yes, there should be one on that desk towards the very edge on your left."
Temari looked over to the largest pile of papers and starting brushing all of them off to discover a metal paper shredder. A few, minutes later, she was well into shredding her 13th document when Shikamaru called her over.
"Can you fix me some coffee please? The coffee maker is in my private break room off to the side there on the left."
Oh give me a fucking break. How am I supposed to get any work done? With a fake smile, Temari nodded and walked over in the direction he pointed in.
As she left to fix his coffee Shikamaru couldn't help but appreciate the sway of her hips. However, something deep down bugged him. He had the feeling that he had seen the attractive female somewhere before but he couldn't remember where. The pineapple head was so deep in thought that he was slightly startled when the woman of his thoughts set his coffee on his mat. He could see that she was holding a tiny glass container that held sugar cubes.
"I put some cream in your coffee but I didn't know how many lumps that you would like. Do you have a preference?" Temari bent over to be eye level with her new boss giving him a perfect view of her large bosom. Shikamaru swallowed a large lump in his throat. He carefully answered her as he met her gaze dead on with a striking look of his own.
"I usually like a medium amount of lumps. You know, not to little that it doesn't make a difference in the flavor, but not too much that they start spilling out all over the place." Temari smirked as she dropped five sugar lumps into the appetizing smelling coffee.
"Is that an alright amount of lumps."
"Perfect, you can go back to work now. Leave the sugar cubes on your desk." Graciously smiling in return, the brunette place the container on the edge of her desk, took three sugar cubes, and went to take a seat behind her desk.
Glancing at her from the corner of his eye, the CEO watched as Temari picked up a sugar cube and started to lick it ever so slowly. She would lick the edges first and then would roll her tongue over the faces savoring the sweet taste as she closed her eyes. Shikamaru throat went dry when she "accidently" dropped it down her shirt and ever so carefully pulled it out and started licking it again while organizing some more papers and putting them in manila folders. When her saliva had eroded the cube down to a little ball, she popped it into her mouth and picked up another.
Shikamaru groaned as he realized he made a fatal mistake by letting her keep the sugar cubes. He looked over at the time on his MacBook and saw that it was only 10:45 a.m. Great I only have eight more hours of this torture. This is gonna be a long day. Pretending, to pay attention to the stocks on his computer screen, the Nara continued to secretly watch his new assistant inwardly hoping that she didn't run out of lumps to suck. After all, he did appreciate her lumps.
Temari had just finished her last pile of paperwork as the clock struck a quarter to seven. As she prepared to leave she noticed Shikamaru was already at the elevator and ran to meet him. She had just made it when the door opened. They rode in silence on the way down. Once they reached the ground floor they walked out to meet Shiho who was standing there with her hand on her hips. Greeting the spiky haired man first, the honey blonde asked how Miss Akeboshi did on her first day.
"To be perfectly honest she did better than I expected her to. Thanks to her I am all caught up with my paperwork and even ahead on some files." Turning to his new assistant he flashed her a genuine smile. "Thank you for your work today, Miss Akeboshi."
"It was a pleasure, and please call me Nana." Temari winked at him causing him to blush.
He coughed slightly. "Well, I will see you tomorrow morning Shiho and Nana. I must be going home now." He waved to both of them as he left the building. The ladies followed his lead as well and they went to Shiho's car. In a matter of minutes, they were pulling out of the parking lot with Shiho bombarding Temari with questions on her first day. As they sped down the highway, they failed to notice the car parked across the street with a dark figure on the inside that was watching the pair from the moment the ladies exited the building to the second they drove away. Pulling out a cell phone that dark figure dialed a number. After two rings a deep voice answered.
"Hello."
"Hello Mother Hen, this is baby chick reporting that the pigeons have flown the coop."
"What?"
The figure sighed, "This Tobi, Nagato. I'm calling to let you know that the suspects have left the Shadow Divisions Company."
"Oh that's good to know. And will you stop using police talk? You sound like an idiot and nobody even talks like that anymore."
"Awe I think it's cool." Tobi pouted.
"Well, it's not. Anyways make sure you meet up with Sasori and his partner tomorrow night at the gallery opening. I have a feeling that's where those broads are going to strike next. Provide back up and DON'T mess up this time."
"Alright Mother Hen, don't get your feathers ruffled. I will make sure to provide Red Robin and Yellow Canary with appropriate backup. Over and out." With that last sentence, he hung up the phone.
"Man that guy is an idiot." The ginger-haired man stared at his computer screen. He was currently looking at an FBI file on a blonde haired woman who been given the moniker "Madame Houdini" as she could never be caught. She and her band of thieves were currently wanted in five countries including Japan. This could be the big break he was looking forward to in his career if could put them behind bars. You can run, but you can't hide little skanks. He continued to look over her file.
A/N: So what do you think? Let me know in the reviews?
