Here's chapter 2 hope you enjoy

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, wish I did but sadly I don't.

Somehow Shikamaru had landed himself in a troublesome situation; he now had a girlfriend which he didn't even like in a girlfriend type of way. She pretty and all but she is not very smart, he thought. When he tried to tell Ino she said he better not hurt Kiyomi or he would have hell to pay with her, he was too lazy to break it off so he let it be all he was doing was buy the girl some food every now and then, they didn't even talk, well he didn't. He stood at the gate waiting for the ambassador from Suna to arrive, what a drag he thought this girl is just like Ino, she would blow up on him if he broke it off. How can I break it off without hurting her or getting killed by Ino, he asked himself.

"Hey, crybaby" he hear a girl say. Shikamaru could recognize the voice anywhere; no way could it be her. She had seen him stare at the gate without noticing her for the past minute while she walked towards him.

"Temari, no way you're the ambassador from Suna I'm supposed to escort. What a drag" he said, why did she need an escort for anyways she knew Konoha well. She's called him crybaby since she had seen him cry once after his teammates almost died on a mission and never stop teasing him about it, not only that but she constantly nagged and annoyed him. This woman was as troublesome as his mother, he had just moved out of his parents house because his mother was so troublesome and now he had to deal with Temari.

"Yep, after a year of not being the ambassador, I'm back lazy ass did you miss me," she smirked.

"Sure did" he said sarcastically with the smallest hint of truth, he turned around making their way to the Hokage's office.

The Hokage greeted Temari, welcome her to the village and gave both of them the list of meetings she had to go to. Great, she's staying for about a month; Shikamaru thought as he looked down at the list, he was stuck with her. He led her to her hotel, ignoring all the annoying things she was saying and let her get settled in.

"Thanks, lazy ass" she said with a smirk. She liked Shikamaru they were friend, in a weird like/hate kind of way and she loved annoying him it was one of her favorite pass times in Konoha. Shikamaru was a bit sexist but Temari was one of the few Kunoichi he respected and acknowledged. Ever since the first time they meet they had a type of bond and even though they had helped each other a number of times she still want to fight him one day so she could beat him.

"No problem troublesome woman" he responded with a smirk, she gave him a glare, "I'll be back at 9 tomorrow to take you to your meeting" he said before she could snap back at him she'd probably just would have hit him, he turned around and walked away, he liked getting the last word.

The next 5 days weren't too bad Temari spent most of her day in meetings and he would take her to get food after other than that she would tell him he was done for the day, she still annoyed the hell but at least he could do whatever he wanted till her meeting was done but every time he ran into Kiyomi he had no time to himself, sometimes he wished he was a cloud and could drift off somewhere. He spent more time with Kiyomi then Temari, he much rather have been with Temari and at least she would let him talk and could hold an intelligent conversation, even if it was mostly insulted. What could Temari be doing, he often wonder followed with why do I even care, that troublesome woman.

Temari stared at Shikamaru who had fallen asleep under a tree waiting for her to come out of her meeting. He is so lazy; he has no motivation at all she thought. She hadn't really had much time to hang out with him or her other friends around Konoha. The first week is always the busiest after this week I can start having fun annoying pineapple head and going out with friends, she thought.

She walked over to Shikamaru. "I want to get something to eat so get up lazy lets go" Temari said poking Shikamaru with her giant fan on her way out of a meeting, he didn't move so she hit the side of his ribs waking him up from his nap. He annoyed her but she liked annoying him back.

"Ow that hurt," Shikamaru said getting off the grass. She smirked, "Aww are you going to cry about it you crybaby," she teased turning around walking into town.

"Temari! Shikamaru! Lady Hokage wants to speak with you right away," said Sakura running after them as they left, she was one of Temari's good friends along with Tenten, Hinata (she was also friends with Ino but didn't like her to much).

"What for?" Temari asked. "I don't know she just told me to tell you" Sakura said.

Shikamaru nodded and walk with Temari up to the Hokage's office.

"You want to speak with us Lady Hokage" Temari said wondering why the Hokage had called them.

Tsunade looked up, "Ah yes, we have just received a report there have been a number of threats to Suna, mainly for the Kazekage and his family" Tsunade explained looking straight at Temari. Shikamaru looked at her, she froze her usually unaffected face was turned to a worried and concerned look. It was rare to see Temari like this.

"I have to go back!" she stated, without hesitation. Temari was not at all worried about herself at all she was more concerned for her brothers and her village. She worried especially for her youngest brother, Gaara, who not long ago was an unaffected person whose only emotion was hate and who had never seen her or her other younger brother, Kankuro, as family or cared for them or anyone else. But now thanks to Naruto he had changed he was now was every close to both her and Kankuro and cared for them, as well as everyone in Suna, he had become the Kazekage, the leader of Suna.

"I'm sorry but you can't, the Kazekage has order for you to stay here and finish your duty as ambassador. He has also requested for you to have a guard with you at all times." Shikamaru didn't like were this was going he knew he was going to get dragged into this somehow.

Tsunade looked at him "Shikamaru, from now on you're not to leave Temari's side. You are no longer just her escort to meetings you are now to guard her as well," great now I have to spend more time with her I don't know who's worse her or Kiyomi… wait I do know Kiyomi, Shikamaru thought. This should be fun he's going to have to do whatever I tell him to, Temari thought.

"She will be staying at your apartment from now on" Tsunade said. Shikamaru's eyes went wide, Tsunade knew Shikamaru would go along with this easily.

"WHAT!" Shikamaru exclaimed, no way he could live with her for one Kiyomi would go nuts and never leave his side and two he would go nuts.

"Lady Hokage don't you think it would be better if-"

"Shikamaru, you are to keep her safe and stay with her at all times, your place is big enough for both of you. I am the Hokage and these are my orders. Dismissed" she snapped back at him. He said no more there was no way to win with the Lady Tsunade without ending up in the hospital, she was just a stubborn as Temari and his mother they were all too troublesome. He just whispered "what a drag, troublesome women," Tsunade was ready to punch him through the wall, but Temari bet her to it smacking Shikamaru hard on the back of the head causing him to stumble.

"ow" he said lazily walking out the office.

"Just go lazy ass" she complained. She didn't like losing her temper but with Shikamaru it was more like a game they played 'who could annoy the other the most'.

Tsunade looked out her window at the pair as they left the building her lips curled up into a smile, "Shizune" she called.

"Yes, my lady" she said standing at the door.

"Want to make a bet?" she said with a smile looking out the window.

Hehe I love Tsunade and her betting. Any ideals or comments feel free to pm me or review, Thank xD
